Though Aang is also gone, his lasting role as the Avatar, and his surviving children, give him more of a presence than Sokka, who seemingly did not have any of the latter. The show also never provides Sokka with any adult long-term romantic relationships, further limiting the number of characters who could uphold his legacy for the new generation of heroes.
Immediately after the end of the war and Zuko's coronation, Sokka played a role in the Harmony Restoration Movement, aiming to rid the Earth Kingdom of forced Fire Nation settlements. Though he initially chose to help Toph at her newly opened metalbending school, he eventually joined the rest of the team in the Battle for Yu Dao, in which the Earth Kingdom attempted to forcibly remove a Fire Nation colony that had long integrated into Earth Kingdom society and wanted to stay.
Along the way, Sokka helped Zuko look for his mother Ursa, helping his friend to recover her stolen identity from the Mother of Faces, and supported Aang in facing off against the ancient spirit Old Iron. Returning home to the Southern Water Tribe, Sokka faced off against Gilak, a former ally of his father, who was attempting to rid the Southern Water Tribe of the influence from the Northern Water Tribe by making inroads in the South to tap a source of oil. The conflict went so far that Gilak even captured Earth King Kuei to exchange for Sokka's father, who was in favor of working with the North.
Led by Sokka, the team managed to defeat Gilak, although his message continued to resonate, leading to the conflict that would become the Water Tribe Civil War. Without him, they were bored, lost, unable to decide what to do, could not remember what they needed to do, and were being tortured by Katara's horrible jokes, to the point where Aang admitted, "I guess the jokes don't run in the family", much to her chagrin.
Sokka showed a remarkable talent for poetry. When he stumbled into a poetry reading, he went toe-to-toe with the instructor in a haiku contest and held his own and nearly won. However, his hubris got the best of him, and he was viciously thrown out for accidentally adding an extra syllable to the end of a haiku, where he subsequently renounced his short-lived love for poetry.
He emotionally defended his "artwork", which was still met with more laughter from his peers. While training to be a soldier for the Southern Water Tribe, Sokka became proficient in a variety of weapons, the most noticeable being his trademark boomerang, with which he has shown impressive accuracy even from a blindspot by determining the enemy's line of fire. His arsenal also included clubs, [10] a machete, [37] spears, [10] and a meteorite iron sword.
Sokka was formally trained in swordsmanship , revealing the serious side of his personality. Wishing to contribute more to his team in actual combat, Sokka decided to learn the art of swordsmanship, wielding a Jian sword. Under the tutelage of the Fire Nation swordmaster Piandao, Sokka underwent various activities, including sparring matches with the butler Fat to hone his swordwielding skills and arts such as painting, calligraphy, and rock gardening to sharpen his mind.
Eventually, when instructed to make his own sword, he used fragments of a meteorite that fell the night before to collect the metal needed to forge his blade. The blade retained an unusual all-black appearance and was able to slice through the toughest materials, such as steel.
He defeated them by drawing his boomerang and throwing it at the first firebender, knocking him out, and proceeding to kick his sword into the air, catching it and throwing it to slice through the platform on which the other firebender was standing.
However, he lost both items in the process. More examples were present in his training with Piandao. Sokka became an advanced swordsman rapidly, besting Piandao's servant, Fat, in just a couple of days.
He also managed to gain a firm grasp on blacksmithing in that short time, as he forged his own sword [13] and later a suit of armor for Appa. He "stamped his identity" on a page by applying ink to his face and rolling it across the paper after he was informed that he got a little of it on him while thinking. During the rock gardening exercise, he "manipulated the terrain to his advantage" by rolling boulders and relocating moss to make a sort of lounge chair in the shade, thus appealing to his love of relaxation.
Training himself from a young age to be a warrior capable of defending his village, Sokka was always reasonably adept in a physical fight though initially unrefined and preferring to use weapons. After being humiliated by Suki in front of the Kyoshi Warriors, he humbled himself and requested to be trained by her. In a reasonably short period of time, Sokka improved enough to be able to physically defend himself from Suki and knock her on the ground in a friendly sparring session.
However, at a later point, he sarcastically quipped that he was a "ranged chi blocker" before using his boomerang. Jackson Rathbone as Sokka. Avatar Wiki Explore. Latest news. Netflix adaptation Feature film Film transcript Film cast Film production crew.
