i think because he is capable of taking bending powers away, he is somewhat immune to bending internally
kinda like Blackbeard (if you watch one piece) where his devil fruit power can null logia's abilities if his Dark power touches them.

First, I don't think Amon is 'energybending'. The only person we've seen do that is the Avatar, and the technique Amon is using doesn't produce the telltale glow. Instead, I believe he is using a different technique more akin to hypnosis. It is important to note that when he takes a person's bending away, he presses the center of their forehead, the location of the body's 6th chakra, the Light chakra. Remember, this chakra deals with insight and is blocked by illusion. More specifically, the ones we tell ourselves. Meaning, hypnosis could fall within the category of 'an illusion we tell ourselves'. What Amon is doing is implanting the suggestion that the person can no longer bend. They now subconsciously believe they cannot, and therefore lose the ability. They still can use it, but the mental block is preventing it from manifesting. Like when Zuko was torn up over his internal conflict and lost his firebending.

Your point makes a lot of sense but I don't think they would go into that much depth. I think a lot of the younger audience wouldn't understand that.

To be honest I haven't theorized much about Amon's identity. I just think of him as Amon. Who he is under the mask doesn't feel that important to me, unlike say Tobi in Naruto who's identity has to be important. The mask could simply just be a way to stay anonymous in order to keep himself safe.

not my point just an idea i came across on the internet,

but i did find it funny no glow and he is touching different spots then aang , aang even glowed when he took the water bending from that blood bender dude

for a long time i thought amon was just chi blocking then killing them off screen meh

if one person gets there bending back it will be a blow to his credibility and the movement

I think the whole Amon and Tarlock are the same person.
Korra did not saw the encounter, just heard it.
imo he played the 2 man show within Korra's ear shot.

I am pulling this shit out of my ass.
I have no evidence to prove this theory.

i highly doubt this as episode 9 both amon and tarlock are in the same room
although i'm interested to find out how amon wasn't really effected by the blood bending much

Episodes 11 and 12 will air together as the season finale so 2 weeks left.
I wonder how long we will have to wait for season 2 :/ and I really hope season 1 ends in a cliffhanger or something that will make me want more even if I will have to wait.


i have no doubt in my mind they will reveal amon at the end of season 1

i would assume because he's an energy bender.... i think aang broke the blood bending the same way

well aang's airbending arrow glows when he does that, and so does his eyes... amon hides every part of his body so we can't see the glow.

i like the 6th chakra theory though. we'll have to wait and see...but when he took bending away from the triple triad leader, he didn't look at him, so i don't see how hypnosis will work

watch amon be tarlocks dad previous generation evil to give experience to the new generation hero :P

but yeah he prolly resist it by either having blocked certain of his chi points or he's an actual bender himself :P

speculation ofc random ones at that just saw the thread and i missed a ton of episodes watch like 1-2 and then the 9th
