Talk:Bumi (King of Omashu)/@comment-4171712-20110720033547

To all those arguing about who is the better earthbender I'll put it in like this- In terms of skill toph is superior no question, being able to master different forms of earthbending, sandbending and metalbending, and the latter form is one she created all by herself. Her style is one not commonly used and she uses the earth to see and she learned from badger moles. Skill wise she has bumi beat.

In terms of strength Bumi has Toph beat. Looking at him earthbend he can move almost ridiculous amounts of rock with seemingly no effort. He earthbends with his freaking FACE. He doesn't NEED sandbending or metalbending. And looking at him and all the muscle he has and how he uses it when he fights you can tell he's the more powerful of the two.

They've both got the same earthbender mentality though and have mastered neutral jing, which is the mark of all amazing earthbenders.

Because they're so different as earthbenders you can't really say one is better than the other. I honestly believe that if you put them in a fight they'd be very equally matched and the fight would never end.

That being said. I freaking LOVE bumi. He's is the best crazy old man in the history of crazy old men :D
