 * This article is about the resistance effort organized in Omashu following its capture by the Fire Nation. For other uses, see Omashu (disambiguation).

The Omashu Resistance was a force with the goal of liberating the city of Omashu from Fire Nation control after its capture.

History
When the Fire Nation invaded Omashu, earthbenders and soldiers, led under the command of Yung, prepared for battle. However, King Bumi used his fighting style of neutral jing and surrendered the city, which was subsequently occupied by Fire Nation and renamed New Ozai. Though Bumi had been captured, the citizens still organized a resistance. Yung and his soldiers quickly formed the underground resistance in the sewer in hopes of driving the Fire Nation out. At one point, they pushed stone and rocks down the city toward Mai and her family in the hopes of eliminating them, but Aang blasted the rocks away with his airbending. After some persuasion by Avatar Aang, Yung agreed to evacuate all the citizens of Omashu in the hopes of fighting another day. His wishes came true during the eclipse when King Bumi, in whom Yung had lost faith after the capture of Omashu, saw that it was the right time to strike and single-handedly liberated Omashu, turning the resistance movement into a success.
