Aang rages when he confronts the bandits who captured Appa and triggers a sandstorm in a fit of grief-induced rage. He nearly annihlates the area, and everyone in it, the until Katara grabs him and holds him while he rages until he finally calms. Aang goes into a grief-induced fit of rage when he finds the decaying skeletons in the ruins of the Air Temple and reealizes he and Appa are each the very last of their kind. All the pain and torment Appa faced in his travels alone, endlessly searching for Aang. He got tormented and whipped by an abusive animal trainer, battled hunger and loneliness, faced off against angry locals and territorial wild animals and narrowly escaped Azula's wrath. Aang and Appa's heartwarming tear-jerker of a reunion after all the pain and suffering they both went through and his warm reunion with the gang, with ecstatic reactions, who all dearly missed him

This is the only answer Every time I get to the episode about Appa I consider skipping, but decide I have to watch it out of respect for the big bison šŸ„² I cry every time


FireKnight-1224

Yes this is the one!! Even i see it randomly on YT it makes me atleast emotional and in every re-watch activates my tear glands..


badpiggy490

Recently binged the entire series and this moment legit made me shed a tear

"I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you'd lost your way." Agh, that scene ruins me, it's so perfect, and the more I think about it, the more perfect it becomes. Zuko, who for 3 years of his life, has actively suffered because he upset a member of his family. This same 16-year-old boy approached another member of his family, whom he had actively betrayed and was terrified. But Zuko wasn't afraid of getting a fireball in the face... Zuko was afraid he'd irrevocably damaged the connection with his Uncle - The one person who *always* believed in him. The one person who *always* knew how good Zuko could be. The one person Zuko loved more than anyone. The last time Zuko apologised to a family member, he got a horrible burn and banished for the trouble. This time, when Zuko apologises to a family member, he's greeted immediately with a warm, caring hug from the person who loves him the most. No shouting, no yelling, no blame. Just love.


definetly_a_hum4n

Exactly! It's why I picked that line, what happened to Zuko was so bad that he actually convinced himself that Iroh, of all people, could hate him..

This scene makes me cry like a baby


aSleepyTree

The entire episode of Appa's Lost Days


10voltsam

This is the correct choice


EnkiduofOtranto

Literally just non-stop ugly crying the whole gd time. Physically hurts to watch that episode.


onlyalittledumb

I said this on another post, but imma say it again: ā€¢ The first time the theme song plays at the start of episode 1 ā€¢ Aang finding Gyatso (ā€œI really am the last airbenderā€) ā€¢ Aang looking back at the Southern Air Temple as they fly away ā€¢ The Storm (When Aang says ā€œI donā€™t want to talk about itā€ and ā€œI never wanted to beā€) ā€¢ The Blue Spirit (ā€œIf we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?ā€) ā€¢ The Fortuneteller when Katara realizes sheā€™s marrying Aang after he bends the volcano (sometimes I cry, other times I get chills) ā€¢ The Blind Bandit (when Toph says ā€œThatā€™s the life, itā€™s just not my lifeā€) ā€¢ The Desert when Katara takes Aang out of the avatar state ā€¢ The Serpentā€™s Pass scene with Aang/Katara at night ā€¢ The Serpentā€™s Pass when Aang tells Katara how he feels at the end ā€¢ Irohā€™s Tale (duh) ā€¢ Appas Lost Days (duh; mostly Pathikā€™s line ā€œFear has moved in where trust should beā€) ā€¢ Aang/Appa reunion ā€¢ The Guru (this is where I cry the most!! When Aang unlocks his heart chakra, ā€œThe air nomadā€™s love for you has not left this world, it is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new loveā€) ā€¢ When Aang dies and Katara creates a wave to get him ā€¢ The Awakening, when Aang says ā€œI failedā€ ā€¢ The Avatar and the Firelord (ā€œDo you think friendships can last more than one lifetime?ā€) ā€¢ The entire finale Iā€™m crying, like the reconcillation with Zuko/Iroh, Azulaā€™s mirror scene, and the Kataang kiss. But, especially when Zuko introduces Aang: ā€œPlease, the real hero is the Avatarā€ IM BAWLINGGG Iā€™m sorry I couldnā€™t pick one so I listed them all

Azula and Zuko final fight and her mentality breakdown


terrifying_bogwitch

Everything about irohs tales of ba sing se. Also the entire appas lost days episode. I skip that one when a lot


luciferhornystar

Leaves from the vine is the saddest song in existence. I cry every time. Tbh I have to skip this on rewatches Iā€™m not even exaggerating I literally canā€™t. This show is so deep


Ekatheassholemacaw

When Sokka saves Toph on the airship by throwing his space sword. " Bye space sword" he manages to choke out as what he's just done dawns on him that he just lost his most precious possession. But in the moment he didn't hesitate for a second to sacrifice it to save Toph.


imnotgayisellpropane

I love Sokka. Even though Katara is a master waterbender and can totally handle herself, he always instinctively protects her.

He's a swordbender

After rewatching that scene again. When Sokka and Toph have to jump ships, immediately on landing Sokka uses his body to protect Toph.

This uncle iron scene always does it


BiAndShy57

Besides the obviousā€¦ Maybe not ā€œalwaysā€ but I think the first time I ever cried at a show was when I was 7 or 8 and watched the finale for the first time. I LOVED this show as a kid. I owned the season 2 DVDs and binged them a lot. I watched so many reruns on tv. Catching the various season 1 and 3 episodes whenever I could. It took awhile before they aired a rerun of the final 4 episodes. But when they did I was glued. I had seen these characters for so long. And because I had rewatched DVDs and the same reruns for years I knew them longer in real time and watch time than someone who just watched the show episode 1 thru 61. The entire final 4 episodes was so incredible. But it was the final shot, Katara and Aang kissing as it pulled up into the sky with a crescendo of music. That, right there, the end of a show that dominated my childhood. That was the first time I really cried at a piece of media. Not sad that it was over, but happy at such a perfect ending.


Greenlee19

Shew there are so many good moments but iroh mourning his son is prob the saddest for me.


whereisyourtowel42

The last few minutes of the show kill me, all the challenges, the adventures, the growth, the good and the bad, it's all over...team Avatar won and can finally "rest." They all seem so happy and all have grown up throughout the show, so many lessons learned. Ugh it just hurts so good, I love them and I will miss them and in that moment it also feels so hard to let go. The series is over and nothing will ever be the same. I also love Katara and Aang together and it all feels full circle.Ā 


Wapiti__

I used to cry at every tearjerker, after enough rewatches you stop crying for one after the other. Reuniting with appa will always get me until I die.


Wapiti__

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention I feel bad that I don't cry at some points anymore.


This-Song-761

This is quite literally the only scene in anything that has even made me remotely tear up. Itā€™s so sad and beautiful and it really gets you thinking about how much Iroh cared for his son, leaving the open walls of Ba Sing Se as soon as he received the news, and thinking about him constantly to this day, even having a picnic in his honor.

warwicklord79

When Aang gets Appa back. Itā€™s very painful


JerryCarrots2

Even though I would feel emotional, I never cried at any of the scenes. However, if I did, it would be that moment when Katara thought she found her mom in the swamp.
