The Legend of Korra
Summary
While inAvatar : The Last Airbender , Aang and the team face off against a number of minor antagonists , but inThe Legend of Korra , there is an emphasison Korra herself , rather than her enemy , which explains why each book has its own set of adversaries to overcome(some of whom return by and by as allies . ) Korra stick to the titular Avatar as she tries to find her place in a existence that seemingly does n’t take the Avatar the same style Aang ’s metre did .
There might besome conflict between Avatar fansas to whether the sequel series populate up to the caliber of the original , but one affair ’s for sure : both series have reasonably fascinating villain . They ca n’t all be legendary in the background of the story , and different villain motivations will for sure appeal to different members of the consultation . As fans revisit the serial on cyclosis platforms and prepare themselves for moreAvatarcontent from Nickelodeon , it ’s clear that Korra ’s villains execute the gamut of how well they play the roles meander for them .
The Legend of Korra is often compared to Avatar : The Last Airbender , but Korra delivers some of the right competitiveness scenes across the show .
Amon’s Lieutenant
Voiced by Lance Henriksen
Unlike the rest of the villains inTheLegend Of Korra , Amon ’s right bridge player does n’t get fleshed out as much , despite his screen time . He is n’t even given a name beyond being consult to as the lieutenant . He does , however , work as a great representation of what the series ' first set of scoundrel are actuate by . They inhabit in a existence where they believe bender have had discriminatory handling .
The Equalists need benders and non - curve ball to be , as their name implies , on equal footing . Amon , and his lieutenant , represent the uttermost version of that point of sight . He ’s a stepping stone for Korra to get to the strong baddie , so he does n’t make as grownup of an impression as others , buthe ’s a open look at what happens when a sinewy mortal tempt the natural process of someone who ’s been consistently denied index .
Desna & Eska
Voiced by Aaron Himelstein and Aubrey Plaza respectively
Desna and Eska , the weirdly identical twins in more than just their appearance , are fun antagonists , but their theatrical role in various events are kept minimal by their father , Unalaq . They are far substantially as sources of funny relief , specially in the manikin of Eska ’s " wooing " of poor Bolin , or Desna ’s cold cynicism and occasionally short temper . Their endeavour at villainy do n’t really exercise out very well for them .
The pair almost come through in killing Korra at one item , at least indirectly , by leaving her in the manpower of an undersea dark flavour . That design , however , does n’t work out , and it ’s ripe that it does n’t sincethey later become chiefs of the Northern Water Tribe and close friends of the Avatar . Korra clearly forgives them for their bad number as they were goaded into their actions by others .
Hiroshi Sato
Voiced by Daniel Dae Kim
Hiroshi was posture after former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt , Japanese industrialist Keita Gotō , and Mitsubishi founder Yatarō Iwasaki . His mustache is based on Iwasaki ’s .
He attempt to help Amon with his gyration , but it is his girl who take him out of the par at the last min . Hiroshi is n’t inherently a bad guy . His past trauma and heartbreak influence him , and he want the macrocosm to be good for his girl . Hiroshi does get the redemption he so urgently needs , though , when he pass away a martyr to protect the United Republic of Nations from Kuvira and her mecha regular army .
Tarrlok
Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker
his lack of noesis about Amon ’s identity show that he still believe in the triumph of commodity over evil
Tarrlok , unfortunately , is 2nd to his old brother in every sense : flex skill , political maneuvering , and personal determination . He ’s beget a snatch of an lower rank building complex when it get to his skills , but he actually does have impressive ascendency over his bending . Of of course , his skills are accompanied by a bit of hypocrisy . He bloodbends Korra even though he explicitly states that he despised using the proficiency as a small fry .
However , his want of knowledge about Amon ’s identity shows that he still believe in the triumph of goodness over iniquity . In other intelligence , Tarrlok is not a vicious fiend but rather a misguided soul who could have benefited enormously from some reasonable parenting and nice theatrical role models . That ’s a common theme in Korra ’s fourth dimension as the Avatar . Many of her enemies are those who start off wanting to change the world for the better but notice themselves taking their approach in an utmost direction .

incarnation : The Last Airbender was the start of a new universe . Here ’s a complete timeline of what chance before Avatar and through Legend of Korra .
Ghazan
Voiced by Peter Giles
At this point in the subsequence series , The Legend of Korravillains take a turn towards the dark side , with Ghazan and his terrific lavabending lead the electric charge . He is n’t as focused as a scoundrel as Zaheer , as dexterous as Ming - Hua , or as explosive as P’Li , but he is the only Red Lotus penis who does n’t get discomfited or emphasise out if events are n’t drop dead according to program . He remains relatively calm even while do deadly destruction .
Ghazan is not dismissive of talent either , even from someone he ascertain as an opposition . This is evident when he congratulatesBolin for his foray into lavabending(before asking him to employ it in a death match , of course ) . All in all , Ghazan is a hearty B+ of a villain for Korra and her group of friends .
Ming-Hua
Voiced by Grey DeLisle
Ming - Hua is a enchant persona , being the only person with a impairment in the enfranchisement since Toph in the originalAvatar : The Last Airbenderseries , but she never let it to hold her back from being an exciting adversary . She and her water tentacles are much invincible , making herone of the strongest waterbenders of all time . Ming - Hua uses her waterbending as a true extension service of herself , and it ’s telling to determine . She employ water in place of her arms with a serious amount of control .
More importantly , Ming - Hua does n’t see the difference between armed combatants and civilian when she ’s let looseon the world and is as probable to slay either of them in cold rakehell — if she ’s in the mood for it . She ’s one of the most dangerousLegend Of Korravillains for the entire streak of the series .
Amon
Voiced by Steven Blum
The master opposer ofLegend of Korra’s"Book One : Air , " Amon , aka Noatak , is an irresistibly powerful bender , especially due tohis life-threatening unbending ability . He can actually take away a curve ’s power to use their gifts by block off their chakra pathways . Although extremely protective of his sibling when young , Yakone ’s manipulations have warped Amon ’s mind into something gruesome and unfathomable .
Amon is redoubtable for none of these reason , however , but rather because of how easily he is able to amass a cult fall out of anti - bending " revolutionist , " and for his star part in many of Korra ’s nightmare . In the first season of the show , he is the source of many of the traumatic experience that Korra fit through . He ’s able to turn nearly the total world against benders with his grandiosity , showing that a convincing line and the proper amount of charisma can be enough to turn average mass into scoundrel .
P’Li
Voiced by Kristy Wu
She does n’t have the time nor the interestingness in the portion of those who do n’t refer her
The floor of P’Li is a lamentable one , because her destruction also ends one of the ( surprisingly ) healthiest relationship register in the serial . No matter how tough the going gets , she and Zaheer always keep their promise to one another . However , this blind loyalty is quite a abrupt thorn in the Avatar ’s side , because P’Li ’s combustionbending is nearly impossible to plow with straits - on .
She does n’t have the time nor the sake in the fortune of those who do n’t concern her , which is basically everyone except her lover and her two friends — but mostly her buff . Her devotion to the Red Lotus ' cause is level and would have continued if Suyin Beifong had n’t come up with her whiz gambit at the last second to take out one of the most formidableLegend of Korravillains .
Unalaq
Voiced by Adrian LaTourelle
When it comes to going up against Korra , Unalaq has a chip of an edge over her compare to the other villains . While Amon might get in her principal , Unalaq is family . The fact that Unalaq is Korra ’s paternal uncle makes it all the more difficult for her not to trust him ; he brainwashes her to the point that she justify his vociferous calumny of her own pappa , Tonraq , trust it to be an acceptable departure in the large oscilloscope of affair .
Unalaq is so focussed on what he need that he fuses withthe original duskiness spirit , Vaatu , to produce one of the strongest villain inThe Legend of Korra . Korra is unable to win this battle alone ; it takes a merge effort from everyone — Tenzin , Jinora , Mako , Bolin , Asami , even Eska and Desna — for her to take UnaVaatu down .
All of the women of The Legend of Korra are all unbelievably powerful , carousal or not . However , some woman are even stronger than others .
Vaatu
Voiced by Jonathan Adams
Without swarthiness , light does n’t have any signification . Those who have live darkness apprise the ignitor even more . As such , Vaatu ’s stead in the world is inevitable . He ’s one of the oldest spirits in beingness . As the spirit of darkness and chaos , he is n’t inherently malefic , but his nature is disorderly . His desire to work chaos to the world and snuff out the spark completely is what ultimately motivates his actions when he convey Unalaq on his side .
One could make the logical argument that without the chaos brought into the mortal earth by the spirit at the very start of the Avatar line , there would be no baddie in the enfranchisement at all . He ’s not just a thorn in Avatar Korra ’s side , but a powerful force that nearly ends the entire world as she knows it .
