Oops! The multiverse opened up!
Iโve always been a fan of Avatar : The Last Airbender before Iโd stumble in the world of Yugioh Zexal & srlsly, sometimes I find so many similarities between these two that a crossover au is rlly possible. The characters for instance bears striking similarities. So here it is:
What couldโve been if Yugioh Zexal characters got transported/reincarnated into the ATLA universe.

Starting off with these two extremely sassy and savage teens. Both share the same sadist, cruel, psychopaths who deeply yearns for their fatherโs approval & love. Only, Azula led onto her despair whereas Thomas was redeemed & was able to got what he wanted.

Both were the eldest amongst their siblings & both always shared this stoic, steely look onto their eyes not to mention theyโve both come from very influential families & liked to act cold but is deep down caring & protective onto their loved ones.

In contrast to Mai & Quinton, Ty Lee & Trey were both the youngest on their siblings. Both were cheerful but hides deep sadness from within. Both were also similar into achieving their goals to make a difference for their family. Ty Lee wants to make her own mark as she grew up looking exactly the same as her sisters & her talent in circus were her only chance of shining on her own while Trey duels Yuma even if it cost him his crest to prove that he can bring his family back. Both were successful in achieving their own aspirations though.

Now with the fathers on both sides. Ozai is known to be the โworst father in the history of fathersโ as said by his son, Zuko as Ozai were a cold, sadist, power seeking & manipulative father onto his sons, heck, he even banished her wife & his son when he gets in his way. This didnโt really were the same with Vetrix. Vetrix, although manipulative & sometimes tends to be sadistic, had a perfect reason to be in this way, he is vengeful because his family is torn apart & although he used his sons as pawns, he did regretted it & seek redemption. If thereโs a huge similarity between the two, itโs their antagonistic acts but what sets them apart is how they viewed their families. Vetrix got redeemed & lived a happy life with his sons while Ozai, like his daughter Azula were thrown in jail for their sins.

These two, although supporting characters, almost have no difference apart. Meng loved Aang the way Cathy loved Yuma. Both were always supportive of their lovers even if itโs unrequited type of love.

These two shitheads characteristics almost falls in the exact way. Sokka, in his younger years yearned to be one of the greatest warriors in their tribe, Flip on the other side, yearned to make friends by dueling. Both failed miserably by then but as time passes by, these weaknesses both made them reach their truest friends that will stick to them till the end. Not to mention both shares the same attitude of being the comic relief of their own respective bands. Both also shares this whimsical witty attitude that often led them to trouble.

If Zuko were a firebender, Shark was on the opposite using his water deck. However both of these two shared the same trait of being โIโm never happyโ with a plastered frown or sneer onto their face. Like others, family were the ones who fuel their goals. Zuko yearned for his redemption as the banished prince while Shark wants to avenge her sister making them act like b**tch boss to everyone but deep down their kind, shy beings who get all dorky around their friends. Just like Zuko with the gaang & Shark with Yuma & company.

The main characterโs emotional support person, the titular โmom friendโ, the fierce female in the group of her boy friends, the primary friend of the MC; I could go on and on for the list but the main point is that both served & acts as the one female who encompass everyone while going onto their journey. Not to mention both Katara & Kotori shares being the focal love interest of both MC as it has been canon that Aang loved Katara by those kisses although it was much subtle with Tori & Yuma as friends but come on, it was evident in the way they blushes everytime.

The main characters for both series. These two shares almost all the same characteristics that a protagonist should have. Even their goal lies the same. To bring peace and friendship in their own ways. Whatโs more, both goes onto many duels/encounters & made new friends along the way that only strengthens their beliefs into achieving their utmost goal to which both did at the end. Now intriguing enough, it is funny to think that both of these shows ended with a shared stark resemblance: Aang shared the last moments of the series while standing in a balcony enjoying the view with all of his friends while the sun sets whereas it was canonically parallel with Yuma flying with all his friends enjoying theirselves also, while the sun sets onto Heartland as the series finale.

As if all those canon parallel isnโt enough, these three ladies & gentlemen poses the same way from the youngest to the oldest. Also Iโd like to point out that I could definitely see the Arclights reborn genderbent now, being these ladies above. As their characteristics is just too perfect with each other. With all that power & sass together combined make them so a deadly, fearsome group.
Now, what Iโve done above is basically a canon crossover parallel ๐
to each respective characters of both shows; that perfectly resembles & act the same way. I also lowkey hoped ๐ค๐ปthat if you havenโt watched ATLA still, I suggest you better do cause itโs a great show just like Zexal ๐ฅฐ
Note: I didnโt paid much attention to the elements that theyโll have/part of but more of their humane characteristics. I believe the idea of to which element theyโll lie was free as the imagination of the readers (on how theyโll perceive them) but for me their traits was much more important as it defines who they were.
