Buuuuuut Vidcom, Explain why dragons can breath fire if they have no chi!!!!Main issue I'm seeing with this move is that bloodbending doesn't work well with other chi.
To understand quite what I'm getting at here, basic bending theory needs to be looked at. Bending is, at its heart, chi exiting the body, guided by physical motions, and incorporating itself into an element. Said element depends on the origin of the chi. It enters the substance and this substance can now be controlled by the bender from where the chi came from.
Waterbending, therefore, is chi going into water. Bloodbending manipulates the water in the body, so is putting chi into another persons body. Now, here's an interesting observation to make.
Gif 1, bloodbending animals:
Notice the motions of the wolves is very smooth and consistent. Little resistance is shown, despite them clearly wanting to.
Gif 2, bloodbending humans:
Korra is twitching extensively, and no motion here is smooth.
Why is this happening? What is the difference between humans and animals when being bloodbent? The answer is surprisingly simple; all humans have chi, no animals do (barring sky bison, dragons and badger moles).
When bloodbending is used on a human body, the bloodbenders chi comes into contact with the chi of the victim, and things go funny. The twitching, jerkiness and resistance are signs of this, as the victims body has a method of opposing the bloodbenders chi; with their own. This is why a lot of a bloodbender's motions are far more rigid and brutal than compared to traditional waterbending; they're using additional force to make their victim do what they want. Psychic bloodbending eliminates this, but requires an extreme iron will and mental strength to execute properly.
Now, levitation cannot use normal bloodbending to fly; the chi would resist itself and they wouldn't be able to move their limbs to bloodbend to make themselves fly. If a psychic bloodbender, the issue seems to be gone since the limb problem is no longer a factor; you don't need to move your arms, so their paralysis isn't a big deal. However, chi resistance is the key part here that makes it impossible.
Now, some may be thinking "but why would a bloodbender's chi resist itself? That makes no sense Vidcom! FOOL! FOOL!" and you may be right. We have no way of knowing to be perfectly honest. However, going from what we know, this hypothesis cannot be rendered correct or invalid.
Thanks for reading!
TL;DR bloodbending makes victim body say NO. could make bloodbender body say no too???
