Do avatars reincarnate?

Do avatars reincarnate?

Upon death, the Avatar Spirit causes the Avatar to reincarnate into the next nation, dictated by the cyclic order: fire, air, water, and earth.

How long does it take for the Avatar to reincarnate?

It can take from moments to years. For example I read somewhere that Korra was born the moment Aang died, so that's just super quick reincarnation. However, Avatar Kyoshi wasn't born until two years after Avatar Kuruk died (if I remember correctly) so I guess it all just depends.

What is the Avatar cycle in Avatar?

• The Avatar Cycle is the process of the reincarnation of the Avatar Spirit into a human. As soon as one Avatar dies, another one is born as the spiritual reincarnation of the preceding Avatars. The nation that the Avatar is born into is determined by the nation of the previous Avatar. The cycle goes: Water, Earth, Fire, Air.

Is the Avatar cycle broken?

• The reincarnation cycle can only be broken if the Avatar is killed while in the Avatar State , Raava is removed from the Avatar and destroyed, or the Avatar Spirit is compromised by a spiritual infection.

Can the Dark Avatar reincarnate?

• The Dark Avatar could, in theory, reincarnate... however when Korra killed them, she killed Vaatu as well. Which is like what would happen if the Avatar dies in the Avatar State, so therefore he could not reincarnate after that battle.
