Chapter 17: The Fortuneteller
After watching the performance of Poker performing to the song, You Can't Hurry Love by Toni Gonzaga. The spirit let us return to the theater to enjoy the next adventure of Team Avatar. As everyone sat down, the lights turned off and the show begins.
00:47 - 01:02
"Did, that fish gave Team Avatar a look?!" Toga asks hoping she isn't seeing things.
The show rewind and pauses to show Toga and the Audience the look that the fish is showing to Team Avatar. "Well, I'll be a Hog-Monkey's uncle, that fish did give Team Avatar, the look." Mr. Compress said. As he and the other villains know that smug look.
"It's taunting them, and now it's taunting us!" Twice screams with both hands on his cheek as his voice turned to a more deep and sinister one. "Let's kill that fish!
"Yes! Let's kill that fish, drink his blood dry, eat his meat when that's done and the hunger of our victory has been settled down…
"Yeah!"
"Let's go hunting…"
Yeah!"
"Kill Ochaco!"
"Yeah– Wait what?" The other members of the Ex-Leagues were confused at the last part.
Ochaco shivers not wanting to be Toga's next date.
01:02 - 01:16
The villains got excited as Sokka went hunting the fish, but they got disappointed when seeing the horror of what Aang did to the fishing line.
"You Bastard! You took the one thing to catch that fish into sushi!" Twice cried under his mask.
Dabi just pats his back, "There, there."
01:16 - 01:31
"Oh, that is very sweet of Aang," Ochaco said seeing that Aang had woven a necklace for Katara.
"Yeah, it's very pretty too. Shroom." Kinoko said liking the flower in the center.
Kosei knows deep down that the handmade necklace isn't just a gift of friendship. Itsuka on the other hand deeply sighs she too has a feeling about what the necklace meant.
01:31 - 01:37
The Heroes sighs, they know balancing their personal life and their Hero careers isn't easy to juggle. Sure, they do not doubt that Aang can open a jewelry store. Then again, a jewelry store can also be a metaphor for balancing Avatar's personal life. That can be the role of the Husband or Father.
It is not easy to balance, but Aang can open this quote and quote, 'Jewelry store.'
The Heroes probably once thought of the idea of having a serious relationship or the idea of having children. Their career and sacrifice of their happiness to protect the innocence can be very needy, more than their joy.
01:37 - 01:43
"Yeah, kill that fish with your dagger Sokka!" Toga cheered for Sokka's hunger for that fish.
01:43 - 01:52
The moment of truth has been revealed when Katara shows off her new necklace. The students blush as they understand what's going on.
"Oh my god, I was right. Aang likes Katara" Kosei said giddily to see he was right since their trip to Kyoshi.
"Oh that's so cute, I ship them," Mina said making a heart sign with her hand.
Aizawa pinch the bridge of his nose. 'I had a feeling, this was the whole point of Poker's musical number from earlier. To show that love is in the air, or Aang's feelings towards Katara start to blossom.'
"Oh, that's so sweet. I wish a boy or girl would give me the same gesture… you know by offering their blood to me." Toga said, making the people who know her sweat drop.
The confirm ships in this fanfic blushed, knowing that love is in the air, those ships being. TodoDeku, ShinKami, TokoAsui, KuroMori, Yosetsu x Momo, and many others.
Tokoyami took this chance to put his arm over Asui's shoulder. He did so by pretending to yawn and Tsuyu lean closer to him, as the two sighs happily.
Kaminari felt nervous, he wants to hold the hand of the boy of his dreams, but before he could, Hitoshi holds Denki's hand. When Denki looked up at him he only saw a nice cute smile from the lavender-hair-colored boy.
Shoto was sweating like bullets, he believe this is his chance to be more than friends with Izuku. He overheard the whispers from Natsu and Fuyumi encouraging him with what they taught him during the break. Their so-called romantic advice. Shoto decided to man up and took the opportunity to place his arm over izuku's shoulder.
The moment was perfect, but he didn't see where his hand was going and accidentally poke the eye of the little boy next to Izuku, Kota Izumi.
"Ouch, my eye!" The boy yelled as he turned to the person who poke his eye. "What the hell dude!" He yelled and splash Shoto with water from his quirk.
Natsu and Fuyumi just facepalmed toward the epic fail.
A part of Dabi that is Toya wanted to facepalmed too towards the epic fail from Shoto's attempts in romance. Dabi is still confused about his new feelings towards himself ever since learning more about Zuko
Sen Kaibara gave his friend Yosetsu, a card. "Hey Yosetsu, a certain someone wants to give you this card."
Yosetsu wondered who was this certain someone who gave him this card… that smells like roses. When he opened the card there was a written romantic poem and it was signed.
Momo. (Not the lemur). Yaoyarozu.
Kuroiro believes this is the moment that he should confess his feelings to Kinoko, but he is just waiting for the right moment to do so.
Itsuka couldn't help but imagine that the certain boy she knows would ever give her a woven necklace, just like the Avatar gave one to the Water Tribe girl.
01:52 - 01:56
"OMG, Aang is stuttering just like Midoriya!" Mina awws seeing the cute moment from the Avatar.
"I bet my whole allowance that Midoriya would stutter when he sees Todoroki shirtless," Yaoyarozu said making a bet.
"Bow chicka wow wow." Mineta giggles knowing the nerd would blush totally.
Izuku hides his face wondering how everyone knows about his crush on Shoto.
01:56 - 02:04
Izuku's face turned a lot redder when Sokka went to tease him too.
Smoochie, Smoochie. Someone is in love.
Dabi laughs at Sokka's misfortune. "The comedy never gets old." he laughs.
02:04 - 02:12
"That sucks, Aang has just been friend zone by Katara," Kosei said feeling sorry for the young Avatar.
Izuku disagrees with him. "Well, at least they're still friends."
However, the solid-air user couldn't 100% agree with the greenette. "True, they are very good friends, but I do want to see Katara and Aang be more than just friends. I mean, I'm sure I want to meet my special someone someday, and I'm sure you want to be your special someone someday, or have you already met that person?"
Izuku blushed, understanding what Kosei meant. Has nice his friendship with Todoroki, he would want to be more than simply friendship. The same can be said about Aang's feelings for Katara.
It's like that song that Poker sang to them earlier. You can't hurry love, you just have to wait. Is there a way to speed things up, like Aang confessing his feelings to Katara?
Izuku isn't an expert on relationships, it's more of a foreign subject to him. It's not something you can learn from books or from training One For All. Maybe watching Aang gain the strength to confess will help him in his love life.
02:12 - 02:22
Distance growling can be heard. The Audience thought it sounds like an animal, unsure what it was. Until they saw what it is, and learned what it is from Aang.
Making Sen Kaibara smile due to the fact he won the bet, against Katsuki Bakugo. "I won, There was a Platypus Bear!"
"God, Damn it!" Katsuki paid up making the 1 B-boy happy. "Alright, I'm making a bet this time, There is no way that a fly boar exist, and I'm wagering 100 Canadian dollars.
Hiryu Rin stepped in and made the bet against Bakugo. "I'll bet against you, I say there is a Fly Boar for 100."
"Alright, the bet is in, Let's continue the show!" Yosetsu said being their referee.
(If you don't recall, Sen Kaibara made that bet in the chapter titled King of Omashu. Now, let's continue the chapter.)
02:22 - 02:50
Watching Team Avatar advising a man defending himself from the Platypus Bear. Aizawa recalls his friend Mandalay and her training in mountain rescue. Defending others from dangerous animals like bears and mountain lions is part of her everyday job. Eraserhead is a city boy, not an outdoors boy. He has no clue how to protect people from dangerous animals.
02:50 - 03:07
Laughter roared when Appa scared off the Platypus Bear.
Laughter roar ever higher showing the Platypus Bear laying an egg.
"Interesting, it makes sense that Platypus are the only mammals that lay eggs," Tenya said.
"OMFG, Iida did you get that from Phineas and Ferb." Mina chuckles.
Tenya chuckles too confirming that Mina is right, "Yes, believe me, or not, it makes sense why O.W.C.A., had Perry the Platypus had him face Mr. Doofenshmirtz every day that summer. Platypus are known to be killers of humans, also did you know, a recent discovery that Platypus is teal colored while underwater, apparently they glow, just like Perry."
"Mr. Doofenshmirtz? Do you mean, Dr. Doofenshmirtz?" the pink girl asks.
Tenya scoffs after hearing the word Doctor. "As if, Heinz bought his degree according to Vanessa."
"What are you guys talking about? Are those Pro Heroes or something?"
The teenagers and Ex-League gasp and learn that Midoriya never saw Phineas and Ferb.
'That boy needs to watch Phineas and Ferb.' They thought in unison.
Natsu had the same thought too. 'Midoriya needs to watch Phineas and Ferb. If he expects me to give him my blessing to marry Shoto. Baby Brother, if you want to marry this boy he has to watch Phineas and Ferb. Or I'll choose your Bride next time. Like that Brunette with the short hair, or the ashed-blond boy.'
'Definitely, not the grape boy. I'm sure if Toya is alive he would roast him if the boy tries to seduce any of us.'
(It's no joke, the creator of Phineas and Ferb. Jeff "Swampy" Marsh did a YouTube short there was a recent discovery that Platypus glow teal, similar to Perry the Platypus. They even made the same sound from the cartoon and originally made up the iconic Platypus sound from the tv show. Ending up becoming fact. That is some scary prediction, It's The Simpsons' predictions all over again.)
03:07 - 03:11
"Mmm, lunch indeed," Rikido said. "Fresh eggs are always the best, that is farm to table. Orange yoke. The fresh taste of orange yoke dancing around your taste buds and elegant waltz, as you and the egg, get ready for your first enchanted kiss of the night. It is truly elegant." Sparkles shine above Sato's head, describing the wonderful taste of fresh yoke.
"Umm, is it safe to eat Platypus Bear egg?" Hado asks.
"I don't know?" Tamaki said. "I know ostrich eggs being served in restaurants are rare, but platypus eggs. I don't know if it's going to be good?"
The teens just hope that Sokka doesn't get a stomach ache.
03:11 - 03:43
Then the villager explained why he had no reason to worry during the attack of the beast.
"Aunt Wu, a fortuneteller?" Setsuna raises a brow. "I can't believe he would listen to a looney."
"No need to insult Aunt Wu, Tokage. In fairness, he wasn't harmed just like Aunt Wu predicted."
The 1B students are concerned for their classmate Yanagi.
"Reiko, don't tell me you believe in fortunetelling?" Setsuna asks.
"I do, Fortunetelling is a real practice and I do believe in their practices, as much as Witchcraft and Voodoo. Do I have to have you all recall that spirits are real? I honestly believe that Aunt Wu's practices are legit." Reiko explained.
The rest of 1B believes there is no way they can convince Reiko. To Yanagi she believes in the supernatural, she wants to believe that there is more in life than simple science and logic. The idea of fortunetelling is a matter of belief.
So they decided to leave her be, They don't want another discussion of Logic versus Belief.
In 1A, Tokoyami too believes in the words of Fortunetellers. There is some crime investigation that had Fortunetellers helping police officials find missing or wanted people.
There are real crime cases of having help from spirit mediums and other psychics helping police officials, though, since the exitance of quirks practices of the arcane arts became folklore in today's society back in their world.
It's just incredible that there are still people who believe in these practices today.
03:43 - 03:54
Before the villager was about to leave, he gave Team Avatar a small gift.
"I wonder what it is? Neito asks.
"I bet, Aunt Wu has a good reason, I bet it has something to do with her prediction." Reiko calmly said.
03:54 - 4:02
"It seems the Water tribe siblings have their thoughts about fortunetelling," Tenya said, seeing that Katara is curious about her fortune, while Sokka is against the idea of fortunetelling.
04:02 - 04:14
"Woah, think they should see Aunt Wu," Ochaco said, believing the words the Fortuneteller.
"Ochaco you can't be serious?" Tsuyu asks her friend, just like Sokka, who is a woman of science.
"There is nothing wrong in believing in fate Tsu, I do believe that there is more than life than simple since," she said defending her beliefs.
04:14 - 04:18
"No, not the egg. DAMN YOU NATURE, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!" Sato cried his eyes out seeing food being wasted.
Back in the casino, Poker was in thought. "Strange, this felt like Deja vu?"
"You're not wrong." Poker saw it was Bat-Mite, from the MHA and reacts to Young Justice. "Cyber_RK18 already did this joke in the previous chapter."
"A recycle joke, seriously? That boy needs a joke book or something. This is just sad, including us breaking the fourth wall."
"Anyways, let the cast meet Aunt Wu, and what their thoughts about fortunetelling."
Just like that the fanfic went back to reactions.
04:18 - 04:36
"Not everyone has the power Sokka," Ochaco said giggling at Sokka's attempt in predicting the future.
Melissa rolls her eyes, at Ochaco. Melissa, a woman of science doesn't believe in this nonsense.
Spirits are another thing, but Fortunetelling is a whole different rabbit hole that she likes to avoid. In all honestly, she is siding with Sokka throughout this bru-ha-ha.
04:36 - 05:02
Aunt Wu is expecting you.
Many were wowed believing the man's words, and some logical audience like Melissa rolled their eyes.
'Seriously, he is paid to say something to everyone who came to visit her.' Melissa thought towards the bru-ha-ha that is Aunt Wu's shop.
(If you can call it a store?)
Other than that. Many liked the village, besides not seeing Fire Nation troops, they like how peaceful it was and it was close to a volcano too.
05:02 - 05:17
Then the cast was introduced by a newcomer. Turns out she is Aunt Wu's assistant named Meng.
Many students smile and notice the certain look that Meng did after seeing Aang.
"Call me Cupid, because I just spot someone in love," Mina said with a cheeky smirk. While Asui prays to whatever god listens to smite her down, So Tsu doesn't need to hear Mina going to a shipping high.
05:17 - 05:34
Mina frown in disgust when Meng mentioned that Aang has big ears.
Hakegure did a spit take. "What the hell question is that?! Ask about the size of his dic–" She didn't continue after being smacked by Jiro.
"Girlfriend, don't you finish that question, you're sounding like Mineta," Kyoka said as the invisible girl rubbed the back of her head.
05:34 - 6:00
After Meng left, there was once more a discussion of logic vs belief, but this time with the topic of fortunetelling.
The topic might be very similar, though Fortunetelling is far different from the Spirits.
For one thing, they all accepted that the Spirits do exist and that they play a huge role in the Avatar's responsibilities. This is where the difference is. While there is proof that spirits are real, fortunetelling is more towards belief.
There is nothing wrong with Katara believing in the powers of prediction, and there's nothing wrong with Sokka only believing in science. The same can be said with Ibara being a woman of God and Melissa being a woman of science.
There are a few of the audience who believes in the prediction via fortunetelling, such as the people who believe in spirits right away, Like Reiko Yanagi, Kosei Tsuburaba, Ochaco Uraraka, Fumikage Tokoyami
There is a villain too who believes that there is more than life than simply science. That being Mr. Compress. As someone who is a stage magician, He believes in the practice of Tarot card reading and the religion that is voodoo.
What happens now, all depends on their beliefs.
06:00 - 06:21
The audience learns why Meng is head over heels for Aang.
"So, her crush on Aang exists, because of Aunt Wu's prediction?" Mina said feeling unsure.
Mina enjoys love stories, like the ones that happen in Hollywood Rom-Coms. Through this feel different.
Mina doesn't believe that Meng is truly in love, due to a prediction. finding her true love just because he has big ears? That can be anyone.
She believes there is nothing wrong with falling for someone, but she just hopes that Meng's feelings are real that comes from the heart, not from a prediction that someone told you.
Mina is having some second thoughts about the idea of Fortunetelling. She is also wondering if the guy she met back during the break was a real fortuneteller or a scammer.
06:21 - 06:44
The Audience finally met the woman of the hour, Aunt Wu herself.
"Umm, I guess we're going to see Katara's fortune," Reiko said curiously about Katara's future.
Poker yawned, feeling bored he did the one thing that cheers him up.
Groping Tomura's pecs.
That made the fallen leader blush madly secretly liking the spirit's touches.
06:44 - 07:03
"I agree with Sokka, visiting a fortuneteller is a waste of time," Melissa said feeling bored with his whole visit.
"Suit yourself Melissa, but I'm sure Katara is getting a great time. Oooohh I wonder if they're going to use tarot cards, or other methods of fortunetelling, like crystal balls?" Reiko asks being invested in fortunetelling.
07:03 - 07:42
The Audience watches as Aang goes on his 'So-called, trip to the bathroom.' In truth, he went to eavesdrop on Katara and Aunt Wu's conversation.
"Seaweed lotion, eh, Seaweed does have a lot of benefits for the human skin," Hiryu said, ticking off a certain pink girl.
"Seriously, body lotion is what took your attention." Mina rolled her eyes.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You have your own thing I have my own thing, I have a huge interest in body care such as body lotion."
(I used to work at Lush Cosmetics, an awesome place to work at BTW)
07:42 - 08:03
Melissa's rage rose after what Aunt Wu told her right to her face.
Your future is full of struggle and anguish. Most of it is self-inflicted.
"Bitch, I didn't give you my palm or anything!" She said in anger.
I don't need to. It's written all over your face.
Melissa's anger level rose surpassing Bakugo's regular anger, as she removes her earrings. "BITCH, YOU WANT TO DANCE, LET'S DANCE!" The UA staff try to hold Melissa down as she tried to jump to the movie screen, She wouldn't stop screaming like a feral beast.
"She has anger problems," Bakugo said, as the people who knew Bakugo gave him odd looks.
'Seriously, have you seen yourself in a mirror?!' They thought in unison.
08:03 - 08:22
Since Sokka already getting his fortune being told by Aunt Wu, it is now Aang's turn.
Izuku oddly enough didn't get his notebook ready. For someone who rather believes in science and logic, believes there is no point writing down whatever his fortune is.
Through as a respectful boy he is, he does admire Aunt Wu's office, including her methods in fortunetelling.
Thankfully Reiko knows this method. "Spooky, this is Scapulimancy, it is a type of divination using scapulae or special bones. I read this practice is widely done in China"
"So, Aunt Wu doesn't use Tarot card reading or crystal ball?" Mina asked.
"There are multiple practices for divination, Ashido. I don't mind learning tarot card reading."
"So Reiko, just in curiosity, how does this method work exactly?" Midoriya asks her.
"Umm, I'm not sure Midoriya, Let's watch and see," Reiko said as the episode continues to play.
08:22 - 09:10
"Lady, we already know that Aang is destined to fight the Fire Lord for the sake of the World. I think the Avatar is more concerned about his love life." Many students and villains eyes rolled. Many of them are split towards Aunt Wu's methods in fortunetelling. For one thing, a few do believe in her method. Aang hasn't mentioned that he is the Avatar and the bones told her about Aang's fate ahead.
While some see that shop as nothing more but Bruhaha.
'Sweet Mother, Reigan from MobPsycho 100 is more of a convincing psychic than she.' Poker thought as he grope Tomura's pecs.
09:10 - 09:33
"She lied to his face, did she?" Midnight asks her co-workers and they nodded.
"Oh well, Kid is going to get his heart broken," Nemuri said, as she summoned a six-pack of her favorite beer. "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the washroom getting drunk." She goes off for the rest of the chapter.
09:33 - 09:52
"Sokka is right, my life is going to be calm, happy, andjoyful!" Melissa said through the last part scared most of them because it sounded demonic.
09:52 -10:04
"It sounds like Katara is looking for her prediction to come true?" Spinner said.
"Yeah, I wonder who is this powerful bender that granny mention?" Toga asks thinking of all the benders that she knows.
"It could be someone we haven't met, Maybe this guy is a powerful Waterbender in the Northern Water Tribe, or probably a bender that we already met, like Haru?" Mr. Compress gave his honest theories about Katara's future husband.
Mina turn her attention to the Ex-League members, "It sounds like you guys are shippers, who do you guys ship?"
Thinking of the pink girl's question, members of the Ex-League went to answer her question.
"Well, oddly enough I would ship Katara with Zuko, he is a powerful bender on his rights," Spinner said.
"Yeah, plus that look he gave us. That was hot, like Aye Chihuahua! That was hot." Twice sighs, "Just like Dabi without his shirt, like that porno video he did."
Dabi took notice and went to correct them "That was not a porno, that was a message!" he growls.
"Really, why did you have your shirt off then umm?" Compress tries to argue with the flame head.
"To prove that heroes are not protectors that society what to believe!"
"So you have to do that shirtless… Whatever you say, it still sounds like a Porno." Compress said.
"For the last time, it's not a porno!"
10:04 - 10:15
Team Avatar reaches the town square seeing the villagers looking at the sky, it was until the village man they met earlier explain why they are staring at the clouds.
"Oh see, I didn't know that Aunt Wu practice Aeromancy." Reiko pauses to see if the rest of the students want to know what Aeromancy is. "Well, Aeromancy. Or from what I currently read during my free time. Is a practice of divination conducted by interpreting the cloud formations?"
"So it's like card reading or the bones from earlier. The villagers are wanting to know the fate of the village for the whole year." Juzo said. "That is a lot of pressure especially if Aunt Wu got it wrong."
"This cloud reading only comes once a year too, yeah that is a lot of pressure," Kosei said, hoping Aunt Wu gets it right.
10:15 - 10:49
"So the villagers have been believing Aunt Wu for twenty years, I guess ever since those twenty years they haven't checked the volcano." Vlad King said he cannot believe that the whole village only believe the words of a looney woman.
"I gotta wonder why would they live so close to the village in the first place, even before Aunt Wu," Aizawa asks. "Don't tell me they believe her that much, to stay in the worst place to have a village that is close to a volcano.
"I'm afraid so." Toshinori was surprised at the villagers. They have been influenced by Aunt Wu for the last twenty years. To them, the fortuneteller is like the village's version of All Might. Not because she is a hero, but to her influence.
Aunt Wu's influence is like the level of the Pope's or All Might's own.
This was scary for Toshinori.
10:49 - 11:07
After the failed attempt from watching Meng and Aang. Todoroki thought of doing the same thing to Izuku, but after seeing that it doesn't work the second time, why would he attempt to do it for the third time?
11:07 - 11:42
After seeing the cloud prediction from Aunt Wu, Melissa finally got rid of the gagged that Midnight put in her mouth after her failed assault on Aunt Wu. "They got their stupid prediction. Can we end the episode!"
However the universe doesn't want to listen to her, So they decided to piss her off, by continuing the episode.
"Nnnoooooooo! You son of bitch, why am I even in this stupid casino! I'm not even a series regular!" Melissa continues to cry as we continue the chapter.
11:42 - 11:52
Many are saddened at Aang's attempt at love confession.
Shihai Kuroiro felt the same way as Aang, his first attempt in confessing his love to Kinoko was a total failure.
Though he has a feeling that the Avatar will not give up until Katara learns how he feels. Shihai wouldn't give up too. He can at less let Kinoko know what he feels about her, even if there is no chapter in his life in which they're together.
Maybe he can finally tell her later during the break.
11:52 - 12:14
"I guess Katara is going to know more about her future husband," Ochaco said. "Maybe I should go to the fortuneteller and ask about who am I going to marry?"
Ochaco accepted for a while now, that She will never be with Deku, especially since he is in love with a boy.
It just means love becomes an open door for Ochaco.
12:14 - 12:26
Ibara rolls her eye at Sokka's plan trying to prove to the whole village that Aunt Wu's predictions are just a bunch of nonsense.
'Eh Good Luck. That's like convincing a scientist that God is real.' She thought.
12:26 - 12:46
"Of course, That man is going to meet his true love with those shoes," Tsuyu said. "I just feel bad for his feet, if he wears those shoes, during the winter times. Ribbit." She shivers at the thought of frostbite.
12:46 - 12:56
There was a burst of laughter when a duck attacked Sokka.
"That's karma for you Sokka!" Kosei laughs at his misfortune.
12:56 - 13:03
The scene switches back to Aunt Wu's shop. The people who believe Aunt Wu were saddened to learn the tragic fate of Katara when she gets her fourth grandchild.
(In Legend of Korra, we all knew that Katara is still alive even after Rohan was born, she continues to live even in the comics When she had that beach day with Toph. At least Aunt Wu got the number of grandchildren that Katara and Aang would later have.)
13:03 - 13:12
"Katara, Aunt Wu isn't Siri or a smartphone that can tell the weather. Her practices of divination are not the internet!" Setsuna said, trying to defend Aunt Wu.
"Katara sank much deeper into the Rabbit hole, just like the villagers," Itsuka said not liking the situation.
13:12 - 13:21
The next scene switches back to Sokka.
Many of the audience wondered, What kind of reading did Aunt Wu tell that man that he shouldn't take a bath?
Was it for women, men, fortune, or luck? They don't know but that man needs to take a bath ASAP.
13:21 - 14:04
The audience listened to Sokka's advice about girls, their reactions were mixed.
For one thing, Sokka thinks Aang was smitten with Meng, rather than Katara.
Though some boys understood Sokka, such as Hanta Sero, Kosei Tsuburaba, Sen Kaibara, Hiryu Rin, and Shihai Kuroiro.
"I mean, Sokka isn't wrong, There is nothing wrong with being nice, but there is a difference between being nice and being clingy," Hanta said. "Like, relationships aren't built in a day, it takes time. It's like Poker said, 'you can't hurry love, it's a game of give and take.' There is no telling how long Aang has to wait."
Kosei rubs the back of his neck. "I guess so, no one can say what is the best approach or method, in the end, it's all about timing." His tone switched to a tone of worry. "Think Aang would take it the wrong way, though?"
14:04 - 14:30
"I can't believe that Katara would bother Aunt Wu about what breakfast she should have for tomorrow, Like do you need a psychic reading for breakfast?" a student said not liking Katara becoming dependent on Aunt Wu and her prediction.
It's almost like Katara cannot make her own decisions without the fortuneteller.
Stain hopes that Katara will see that her destiny is defined by her actions not defined by the words of a stranger. The village people have been dependent on Aunt Wu for 20 years, waking them up would just be an endeavor, to say the least.
14:30 - 14:41
Kosie sees Aang's attempts at flirting and his flirting was just awful. If only he can advise the Avatar about flirting with ladies.
14:41 - 15:00
"You think, being aloof might work for Sokka but it's not for everyone," Sen said feeling bad for the Avatar.
"Try being yourself, I mean Aang has good traits right?" Toru said.
"Yeah, Aang is brave, he is kind, selfless. Those are not easy traits to find." Ashido points out Aangs traits.
"Plus, he is also funny, wise, outgoing, and he likes animals, Katara could just hit the jackpot with Aang…" Itsuka said. "Though what are the chances he only sees him as a brother, or Aang isn't her type? Her crush on Jet was very obvious. Maybe she likes bad boys?"
Many tried understanding Kendo's theory about Katara liking bad boys. The only one they can think of was Zuko. The banish prince is a bad boy and a powerful bender.
As much as that is true, they don't want to give the idea of Kataang.
15:00 - 15:32
The next scene was Sokka and Aang hunting a rare flower, the Panda Lily.
Many rolled their eyes at Sokka still suggesting to be aloof.
"Enough with the whole Aloofness, Sokka. My God I'm starting to think being aloof does work. Though I still stand towards what I said about Love takes time." Hanta said.
"Sure, everyone has their methods and advice towards what they think is the best way to be in a relationship, but in the end this takes time," Tenya said. "I have to admit that, Poker isn't wrong about, 'You can't hurry love.' Sometimes these things just need time."
After hearing the words of Tenya. Many can agree with Poker's point of view regarding love. Sure, everyone has their view of love, and it doesn't make Poker's view to be absolute or divine right.
Everyone has their own opinion and that's okay. Love is Love after all.
15:32 - 15:48
The Audience listened to Aang.
Many teens who are in love just like Aang, Thought Aunt Wu's advice about trusting their hearts isn't bruhaha, but it was great advice.
Plus the woman hasn't been wrong.
15:48 - 16:04
The heroes and their students had their jaws drop and eyes widen when Aang reached the top of the volcano.
What they say, is that the Volcano is ready to erupt, and many agree with Aang. That Aunt Wu was wrong.
16:04 - 16:26
"Aunt Wu was from about her prediction, They need to warn the villagers living under the volcano. They need to evacuate!" All Might said, not liking what's about to come.
16:26 - 16:37
Once Sokka and Aang meet up Katara. Mr. Compress was shocked to learn something new with Aunt Wu's shop.
'Wait, she doesn't charge her customers, and people have been coming and going to her for the last 20 years for guidance. Damn, If I was the villager's most trusted Fortuneteller, I would be rich. Heck, she convinces a man not to take a bath for who-knows-how-long. If I manage to trick a whole village I would be rich.' Compress thought.
16:37 - 16:50
"Are you convinced now, Bitch!" Toga said glad that Katara can see that Aunt Wu is right.
"Toga, Don't call the great Hero Katara such insult, call Tomora that instead, We all know that he is Poker's Bitch."
Tomura growls not liking what the lizard ex-member said to him.
16:50 - 17:30
The Heroes-in-Training are on the edge of their seats watching Team Avatar convince them to evacuate, but there was no budging.
"They put so much fate on Aunt Wu, for the last 20 years. They lost to have fate in their own hands." Ochaco said, seeing the downside of Fortunetelling.
She learns there is nothing wrong with believing in fortunetelling, but sometimes in life, she has to take her action and mold her fate with her own hands. Like how she continues to mold her dream of becoming a hero, rather than giving up and going for solutions to help out her family.
She and many others learn the hard way, that they can mold their destiny and fate.
17:30 - 17:38
Melissa had enough after she heard a dumb question.
Can Your science, explain why it rains?
Melissa got up and start to yell "You Son of a–"
Hang In there We're just having technical difficulties.
Sorry, for the interruption, the Program will Continue.
It's just Melissa went into a swearing frenzy for the next fifteen minutes non-stop, having enough towards the villagers and their trusted beliefs in fortunetelling. To the point, she even took one of Himiko Toga's knives and try to slash the movie screen, like a vicious feral beast.
Thankfully she was tackled down, tied up, and gagged. In hopes, she recovers by the end of the chapter and prays that she doesn't end up in Arkham Asylum. I know Arkham Asylum doesn't exist in the MHA universe, but it is the example that I'm going with.
Now back to the program.
The Heroes-in-training were exhausted after Melissa went into a swearing frenzy. There were minor cuts and Ojiro's tail getting stabbed.
In the end, they got things under control, and Ojiro was sent to the lobby to recover his tail.
All Might was the one who is shocked the most, his fist knock-out her niece, it was for her good. She cut so many students.
He just hopes Melissa calms down.
17:38 - 19:00
Team Avatar created a new plan. The villagers won't listen to Team Avatar, but they will listen to Aunt Wu.
The scene shows the Team Avatar trying to get Aunt Wu's Cloud reading book until Aang was spotted by Meng.
Mina had a feeling about what Meng had to say, and she was right. Meng confronted Aang that he doesn't romantically like her. Many of the audience understood what she meant. Nobody likes the idea of being rejected. It sucks,
Though Meng is taking the rejection in a very mature way, accepting that Aang likes Katara and she sees it.
"That's very mature of Meng, yeah being rejected sucks, but she's talking about her rejecting quite well," Momo said.
Then Meng revealed that she has the cloud reading book… and that she was stacking Aang the whole time.
"Well, she made it quite obvious to us, being the audience and all," Mina said, not sure what to say about Meng being a stacker.
19:00 - 19:46
The next scene is with Katara and Aang on Appa.
The Audience learns what their plan is. "Oh, I see, That's why they stole the cloud reading book. Is to give Aunt WU a reason to warn the village about the volcano." Ochaco said.
"Yup, and Aang isn't wrong, clouds are made from water and air. Making it possible for the both of them to mold and shape the cloud however they wish with their bending." Izuku said to write down Cloudbending, for both Airbender and Waterbender pages. "You know, because clouds are in the gas phase in the three phases of Water, and watching Aang and Katara's movements, this is more Waterbending than Airbending."
Aizawa agrees with his student. "Midoriya isn't wrong, This is the understanding of the rain cycle in elementary science class. In fact, like the drizzling rain from earlier, A Waterbender like Katara would be at their strongest, especially in a dry land without water in sight."
19:46 - 19:57
Now It is Team Avatar's final phase of their plan. Showing Aunt Wu their cloud.
The result worked swimmingly showing a skull in the clouds, a symbol of volcanic doom.
"Yeah that would be terrifying too, it is like seeing a sign of a bad omen," Reiko said.
19:57 - 2016
The next scene was Team Avatar explaining their plan to the villager that requires a group to dig including help from Earthbenders.
Speaking of Earthbenders, they realize that the twins in this village are an Earthbender but the other brother isn't a bender.
"Strange, One is a bender, while the other isn't?" Tsuyu questions what she knows about quirks and genetics.
"Well, Tsu, we haven't know how Bending works?" Izuku said not knowing how bending works, he and everyone wondered if Bending is genetic or not.
(The twin boys in this village are unique, they are not like Eska and Desna who are both Waterbenders, the same can be said with Suyin's twin sons, Wei and Wing who are Earthbenders.
MHA will eventually learn the origin of Bending once we enter Legend of Korra.)
20:16 - 20:42
The next scene shows the villager digging a Trench.
It was amazing seeing Non-Bender and Earthbenders working together to save their village. What was more amazing that caught Izuku's eye was three Earthbenders working together to dig up the trench and he was amazed at how much they dug up. "Oh, I was right. Just like the giant Fireball that Iroh and Zuko used to attack Team Avatar in the second episode. Other Benders can do a similar thing like that trench." he said as he wrote down in his notebook.
20:42 - 21:24
The audience sees that the Lava is flowing down to the trench but the lava will overflow it.
"Crap, can Aang just call for Avatar Roku and Lavabend the Lava into non-heated Earth?" Denki asked to fear for the village.
" I would like to see that, I really would, but I think Roku won't able to help, especially without the solstice," Reiko explains that Avatar Roku won't be saving the day with Lavabending.
"Great, what are they going to do?" Mina asked panicking seeing the Lava.
21:24 - 21:57
The next scene showed a Heroic display of Aang, stopping the Lava flow with his Airbending. It didn't just stop the flow by the eruption itself.
Many were amazed at the strength of Aang, they sometimes forget that he is the Avatar not just an Airbender. That he can do crazy awesome stuff.
Stain was amazed too, it was a very heroic action from the Avatar. Saving a whole Village is what a true Hero would do.
21:57 - 22:13
Mina smiled at what Sokka said about Aang being a Powerful Bender. Triggering Katara and her prediction with Aunt Wu.
22:13 - 22:39
Melissa went into a screaming frenzy, though thanks to the mouth gag her screams were muffled.
"Give it up, Melissa there is no convincing the village." All Might said.
Melissa finally calms down, but Aizawa won't untie her from his binding cloth. "You are not getting out my binding, you seriously cut a few of my students and stabbed Ojiro's tail, I'll get you out until you calm down during our next break."
All Might thought that was fair.
22:39 - 23:14 (Last scene)
After hearing advice from Aunt Wu about shaping their destiny. Team Avatar left, Though there was a burst of laughter seeing Meng having the last words for the episode.
The Audience learned nothing from this episode.
They already know that they have the power to shape their destiny, having a reminder is just that, a reminder.
The only good thing about this episode was the ship of Katara X Aang, besides that nothing more.
This is a weird episode to have them react to, but it was still entertaining…
I need a drink.
