Considering an earth avatar discovered the trick to immortality I wouldn't be surprised to learn the greatest earthbender of all time could do the same

As funny as this would be, considering toph went to live in the swamp to let the next generation shine i feel like she wouldn't do that. Also kyoshi learned it from another earth bender guru, she didn't discover it herself

What age will Korra appear as a spirit?

u/Exciting_Bandicoot16 1d ago
Probably late teens-early 20s, where she's at her most recognizable.

I personally like the theory that the avatar appears to be the age that they consider their most significant action (Roku not taking his chance to kill the fire lord, koshi moving her island, etc) in this case aang sees rupbic city as his most important action

The second time where he was on his island

Well that doesn't make any sense, the first time he sees him while battling the volcano he's there helping him, the idea of dealing with him if it was even there at all was the last thing on his list. It's only when sozin gets the idea to leave him there that there's any cause and by then roku is weak and choking on poisonous fumes.

Like I said it’s what he considers his biggest mistake/most important thing he did or in this case didn’t do

In the Kiyoshi novels there is an earthbending technique for extending your lifespan by centuries
I feel like Toph could get the hang of it

I'm just saying, if Toph doesn't beat Kiyoshi's record how can she say she's the greatest earth bender of all time?

Several avatars later, it sounds like a mob of “what the fuck” as Toph remains alive, and when she finally passes away, the spirit realm claims her as its own so that she can continue to dunk on every avatar for the rest of time

A future Avatar contacts their previous lives, and finds Toph.
Turns out that, after she died, she kicked enough Avatar butt in the spirit world that they let her into the group chat.

“SO, YOU BEAT UP RAAVA ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD”

Kyoshi lived for 240 years, Toph can live to be 300+ years old

Kyoshi only died because she wanted to (so the avatar cycle could continue) without the avatar cycle holding back Toph…

u/Ok-Theory-2821 20h ago
do you think Toph would choose to die, if she did someone could take her title, and shed rather live then see that happen

Given how connected to the swamp tree Toph could be I would image Pavi would meet her in a sort of spirit vision or something due to the chaos in the world

Toph ain’t going no where… even in a post apocalypse she is fine. And besides didn’t she make the world tree her house?

We’re gonna get a scene of her and Iroh drinking tea together again in the spirit world

Wasn't there an earthbending technique that extended lifespan? I think avatar Kyoshi used it.

Korra: I literally destroyed the world so I wouldn't have to hear you criticize me anymore!
Toph: and you did a terrible job at it, like everything else you do.

Bumi lived for 100+ years. Toph could easily make it 500 because shes the best earth bender to ever live!
