why would it be bumi? why do you think amon is energy bending?

1. Amon did not even state that he is energybending, he simply says "the power to take away someones bending"

2. bumi must have a lot of hatred towards his entire family, tenzin and katara would have mentioned him being like this but katara only mentioned how bumi and kya were wild and tenzin was calm.

3. it doesnt look like energybending. when aang performed it on ozai there was this connection. this doesnt happen when amon does it.

4. it seems more like an advancement of chi blocking. what i mean by this is that 70 years ago, only ty lee (that we know of) knew how to do it (she then taught kyoshi warriors). this is the same as metalbending with toph and lightning with azula, iroh and ozai. these advanced skills are now common.

5. only avatars can wield the power to energybend. bumi cannot have this ability because bending is based on genetics. since aang's base element is air and kataras base element is water, their children can only bend air and water, hence, tenzin and kya.
