Ok, so i haven’t done my Korra fanboy thing for a while so i need to now.

My newest theory begind with some background:

I have heard that bending is based on the ideals of Miyamoto Musashi, who wrote the Book of Five Rings. This book is a guide on different battle styles. It’s broken up into five “books.”

They are, in order:

The Book of Earth

The Book of Water

The Book of Fire

The Book of Wind

The Book of Void.

Funny, huh? Each has its own focus, some similar to the elements of Avatar, some slightly different. Now, here is my theory:

The first series had three seasons: Water, Earth Fire. Korra is set for two seasons. Coincidence? Oh wait, this season is also called Air. So, if they are basing bending on the Book of Five Rings (somewhat), wouldn’t the last season be “void” or “nothing” or even “spirit”? The book of void discusses the spiritual aspect and, we all know that Korra has no skill in communing with Spirits. Thats where she differs from Aang. Shes going to have to learn how to interact with spirits if shes going to become a good Avatar.

SO. My actual theory is this:

Amon “removes” Korra’s bending, leaving her only with her bridge to the spirit world intact. She learns to commune with the spirits and discovers how to stop Amon without bending, and also discovers how to give everyone their bending back. (lets face it, its a nick show everyone’s gonna be happy in the end).

They could do this, or just go with the Spirit stuff. I like my theory better.
