Talk:Bumi (King of Omashu)/@comment-174.229.65.94-20130610022928

If bumi and ring dueled, it couldn't have been right before sozin's comet. Toph left the white lotus camp with sokka and suki for the airship fleet while bumi stayed at the camp to battle in Ba Sing Se. Also, in the second episode of sozin's comet, bumi uses bending to topple the ozai statue while taking back omashu. I don't know what the statue was made of, but it appears to be metal, and it doesn't appear that bumi used earth to lift it. It really looks like he's metalbending there. The only way he couldn't have been metalbending there is if the statue wasn't made of metal.
