Overview[]
Fire...
Air...
Water...
Earth...
Sixty years have passed since Avatar Korra defeated Kuvira and crushed the Earth Empire; and right after that, Earth King Wu, the Last Earth King, abolished the Earth Kingdom monarchy, separating the territory in various democratic Earth Republics to unite them in the new Earth Confederation. The non-bender's rights, the reopening of the Spirit Portals, the rebirth of the Air Nation...
Avatar Korra did such achievements, probably no Avatar ever could have done. Sadly, Korra's time on this world came to an end, but the New Avatar Cycle kept going on its course.
Synopsis[]
Asami Sato discovers a kid named Hikar Firestone is the new Avatar while being in the white lotus, but suspicious people seem to be interested as well on the Avatar's identity.

Trivia[]
- The place where Hikar was born, the Village of Yetai Tong, is meant to be the new city of the Mining village.
- Yetai Tong (液态铜), in Chinese, means "liquid copper", reppering to the fact that the sunset there makes the sea look like it.
- It can be seen by the end of the chapter a small holographic map of the region detailing the place the city is located, which roughly coincides with Haru's Mining village.
- Part on the reason of it being that place was since, in the earliest of drafts, Hikar was Haru's descendant, now a scrapped idea.
- This chapter was inspired in a Korrasami fan comic made by DenimCatFish [1].
- This episode was originally split in two due for being it the first and being too long for a single episode format. When changed into a webtoon, it was split in four, with the fourth part becoming its own individual episode with its own plot, and adding a fifth unplanned part.
- When this episode was rewritten, it was done taking notes from New Zealander youtuber HelloFutureMe's video "How to Write the First Chapter".
- Both the opening scene and final "red" scenes in this episode weren't in the original draft and were added later following the tips on said video.
- It can be seen in the Firestone Household that the doorbell contains the Chinese characters Huǒ (火) Shí (石), which literally mean Fire and Stone respectively.
- Though this episode is the technically the first, the prologue is the one media that came first in the reboot.
- This is the first episode where Hikar and Kensi fight each other.
- This is the first and one of the only episodes to be part of a three-parter.
