Tokuga's insurrection

Tokuga's insurrection was a conflict that, while initially starting as a turf war between the various Bending Triads of Republic City, evolved into a attempt by Tokuga, then the leader of the Triple Threat Triad, to seize control of Republic City.

Prelude
During the Invasion of the United Republic of Nations, several parts of Republic City, including its downtown area, were destroyed by Kuvira's spirit energy cannon and Team Avatar's battle with her giant mecha-suit. This had the result of scattering the various bending triads of Republic City, after whick Tokuga took advantage of the chaos to depose Viper and become the leader of the Triple Threat Triad, before forcibly recruiting members of the other triads to his side. With Avatar Korra going on a brief vacation to the spirit world with her girlfriend Asami Sato, Lin Beifong would later establish a Triad Task Force to deal with the situation, which Mako and Bolin both joined. In addition, another consequence of the invasion was the creation of a new portal to the spirit world within Republic City, on land that belonged to property developer Wonyong Keum.

Conflict over the portal
Following the portal's appearance, Jinora, Kai, Opal Beifong and other members of the Air Nation would begin meditating around it. Keum however sought to take advantage of the portal's appearance by developing the surrounding land into a tourist attraction and offering tours of the spirit world. To this end he tried to have the air nomads cleared away from it, but they refused to leave even after Keum threatened to call the police, arguing that the land was now sacred and belonged to the spirits.

As the two sides argued, Korra and Asami returned to Republic City through the spirit portal, and Keum attempted to convince Korra to help remove the air nomads from his land. When Jinora urged Korra not to help Keum, the developer justified his actions on the basis that everyone should be given the chance to experience the spirit world. Asami, owing to a past grudge with Keum over him walking out on an important business deal with her father, stated that people like Keum shouldn't be allowed near the spirit world, to which Keum replied that, regardless of what anyone else thought, he owned the land in question and could do whatever he liked with it.

At this point, the dragon eel spirit interjected into the debate, declaring that Keum was another human who refused to respect the sacred, and warning him that his land deeds did not give him the right to ravage and plunder the spirit world. The spirit, unwilling to tolerate a spirit portal within a human metropolis, then urged Korra to close the Republic City portal, claiming that it was not meant to exist and that humans like Keum would only exploit it, but Korra refused, claiming that the portal would ultimately help Republic City. The dragon eel spirit accepted that it could not force Korra to close the portal, but warned her that it would hold her responsible for keeping it safe, before departing. Keum then made another attempt to force everyone to leave his land, but Korra responded by going into the Avatar state and demanding that Keum and his employees leave, causing them to flee from the scene.

On a later evening, members of the Triple Threat Triad, being led by Tokuga and including Two Toed Ping and Mushi, would attempt to take over a piece of turf belonging to the Creeping Crystal Triad, which was led by Jargala Omo. The Triple Threats were almost overpowered until Tokuga joined the battle, using his hookswords and chi-blocking to subdue Jargala and her subordinates. Before he could finish them off, the Republic City police, including Lin, Mako and Bolin, showed up on the scene, prompting the members of both triads to flee. Mushi and Ping were apprehended, and the latter was tricked into giving up Tokuga's name during questioning, after which he told Lin and Mako about Tokuga's rise to power.

Later on, Keum would hire Tokuga and the Triple Threats to attack the Air Nation and drive them away from the spirit portal. During the battle, Jinora used her astral projection to alert Team Avatar, who showed up to reinforce the Air Nation. As the fighting continued, a group of spirits, the dragon eel spirit among them, emerged from the portal and attacked the Triple Threats. Fearing that spirits attacking humans would only increase tensions between the two, Korra tried to persuade the dragon eel spirit to call off the other spirits, but the dragon eel spirit refused, on the basis that Korra had failed to protect the portal. The dragon eel spirit then turned dark, declaring that one of the humans had to pay for starting the fight, and charged towards Tokuga. Korra tried to convince it to stop, but after Asami was overpowered by a trio of triad members, she broke off to go and protect her girlfriend. Tokuga tried to defend himself against the spirit's attack, but he was overwhelmed and mutated by the spirit's attack, and he ordered the Triple Threats to retreat. With the battle over, the spirits returned to the spirit world.
