From its immaculate action sequences to a jaw-dropping storyline, the anime of the saga has managed to keep fans constantly at the edge of their sets. And it isn’t just the children who were amazed by the anime: The anime is enough to leave even the adults entertained.
But while the rest of the lore is one thing, there is one specific episode helmed by the showrunners that literally people of all ages could find relatable. And the mastermind co-creators of the 2005 masterpiece, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko seem to have similar thoughts and opinions on that episode, having created the superhit fan-favorite animated series themselves.
TheAvatar: The Last AirbenderEpisode Everyone Could Relate To
While it is indeed true thattheATLAuniversemay seem like child’s play since its storyline surrounds the life of a 12-year-old Aang and his teenage friends Katara and Sokka (among others), there are many aspects of this story that people of all ages can relate to.
The perfect example to explain this statement is the one episode that featured“Aang opening his energetic chakras.”
You Will Never Believe What Bryan Konietzko, Michael DiMartino Did to Get Ba Sing Se Right in Avatar: The Last Airbender
As co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino shared in an interview withHypable, the episodeThe Guruin the 2005 animated series was helmed in such a way that everyone could relate to it.
But why? Because it was“a fairly unfamiliar concept to most Westerners,”as DiMartino explained. And to make it familiar to them so they could understand it, the showrunners were willing toovercome any and every challenge.
Just like how DiMartino shared in the interview:
“The challenge there was to make it not just an educational lesson,”DiMartino said,“but to dramatize it and see how Aang struggles to deal with his past mistakes in order to grow, which is something people of all ages can relate to.”

Moreover, as it turns out, this spiritual concept wasn’t the only one that was added in the series to make it relatable to adults too, forthe showrunners helmed the entire seriesin such a way that could fascinate people of all ages.

According to whatMichael Dante DiMartinoshared during the interview with Hypable:
