Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Toph mentions the worst thing about being disguised is they don't get the hero worship anymore and she misses the love, to which Sokka grumbles, "Boo-hoo, poor heroes." Then, as Sokka says, "It's just, all you guys can do this awesome bending stuff," the triangular emblem on Aang's red "headband" has vanished, and in the next shot, it reappears. (00:03:35)

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Piandao tells Sokka that creativity, versatility, and intelligence define a great swordsman, he holds out Sokka's sheathed sword with its hilt at Piandao's right hand. However, in the next shot facing Sokka, the sword in its scabbard now lies on Piandao's hands the opposite way, with its hilt at Piandao's left hand. The position of Piandao's hands and thumbs changes as well, between shots. (00:17:25)

The Drill - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Katara is trying to heal the wounded earthbender, she gives Sokka the idea to take down The Drill from the inside. Sokka then stops her from saying anything while she is sitting down, and she is wearing her necklace. When she stands up in that same shot, the necklace is gone, like they forgot to animate it.

Bitter Work - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Iroh draws the symbols of the Four Nations in the sand, there is grass on the left side of the Earth symbol in the close ups. In the shots that show all four symbols, the grass is gone. (00:14:25)

The Avatar and the Firelord - S3-E6

Question: At the end of Sozin's story, he says that he wiped out the Airtemple, and we see one burning. But it isn't one of the four they visited during the three seasons. The Western Airtemple hangs from the cliff, the Northern and Southern both are on one solitary peak and it doesn't have the distinctive bridges of the Eastern Airtemple. Is it ever explained or shown which one it is in Sozin's story?

Friso94

Chosen answer: When Sozin says "So I wiped out the Air Temples," we are indeed seeing the three mountains of the Eastern Air Temple burning, with the two bridges being gone in this shot (S3-E6). This does conflict a bit with the image we see of the Eastern Air Temple, with the two bridges intact, when Aang and Appa fly to that Air Temple seeking Guru Pathik (S2-E19). This may possibly be considered a mistake, but the fact is that when we are seeing the burning of the Eastern Air Temple it's from the point of view of Zuko, who is merely reading from Sozin's autobiographical account, and envisioning everything he's reading, which in his mind includes the bridges having been destroyed.
