Talk:Bloodbending/@comment-72.209.197.70-20120610011512

I'm actually okay if there isn't further explanation regarding how Tarrlok and Yakone could bloodbend without the full moon and in broad daylight (essentially, at any time). I really liked Councilman Sokka's reasoning that bending specialists have always existed and created new forms/methods. Perhaps the aforementioned bloodbending is a result of manipulating chi, or meditating to understand that the moon is always present regardless of the time of day, or something like that. All in all, I will be fine if there is no further explanation.

What I really want to know now is how Amon can not only (seemingly) remove bending but also resist bloodbending? Is he fully human? Spirit? Is he actually energybending, or is he messing up internal chi?

It's interesting to note that it is shown that Aang still removed Yakone's bending the way he did with Ozai: one hand on the forehead and the other hand on the upper chest. Amon removes bending only with the forehead. I'm hoping that we'll get a clear and rational explanation/noting of this difference in future episodes. Maybe that was another reason why Aang wanted Korra to see this particular vision: so that she could hopefully make the connection that Amon's method is simply not really energybending?
