With Aang outed as the Avatar, he quickly draws a peanut gallery of female fans that at once tests his monkliness and Katara’s patience. Faith comes and goes, but the reminders do help.
In an interesting aside, the village begin to take better care of the Kiyoshi statue once Aang appears. When the three travellers are threatened with being fed to the Unagi, Aang reveals that he is the Avatar and they are welcomed with open arms. Sokka can’t believe his luck in being captured by a squad of girls, having earlier made a somewhat chauvinistic comment to his sister about men being ultimately built for war better than their female counterparts. Terrified, the Avatar races back to land – with the use of the Hanna Barbera running sound effect! – only for him and his friends to be captured by the Kyoshi Warriors, a gang of fan-wielding, geisha-esque fighters.
So while trying to impress Katara – first with a trick involving some marbles and Airbending, then with riding the Elephant Koi – he finds himself under attack from the Unagi, a massive sea serpent with some temper. The reason: riding an Elephant Koi! Despite all protestations from his friends, that Aang sure loves to rodeo pretty much every mystical character there is.* As the episode opens, Aang is, yet again, eager to hold up arriving at the North Pole with a quick stop off on an Earth Kingdom settlement called Kyoshi Island, an island that has kept mostly out of the way of the ongoing war.
