She concludes by stating, clear and simple, that she will crush anybody who tries to interfere. She declares her intentions in the middle of Republic City during the coronation of the very king she's supposed to restore to power, with the eyes of the world press on her and the assembled leaders of the world seated behind her.

Kuvira's refusal to hand over control of the Earth Kingdom is an Untwist, but the sheer brazenness of her actions is spectacular.

That moment when you realize that Toph is living out her 'golden years' in a haunted swamp no assisted living for this woman!.

She can pick out trace amounts of poison metal in Korra's body that both Korra and Suyin missed. Considering how badass both her daughters are, that says a lot about how powerful Toph has become since we last saw her.

Toph says that neither of her daughters picked up metalbending all that well.

When you just look at the new city, it makes you want to just get up and move there.

How Republic City has progressed in only three years the citizens and spirits now live in harmony.

When Kai is pushed off Lefty, and realizes that his flight suit is torn (making it nearly impossible for him to regain control and sending him spiraling), Opal makes an amazing dive after him, catching his arm on the torn side so the two of them can glide together and correct course.

According to Word of God, Asami was the one to design them.

The airbending flying suits takes the best part of the staff and incorporates it into a functional uniform which gives the user complete freedom of movement without sacrificing their ability to fly.

In roughly three years, Kuvira went From Nobody to Nightmare, changing from the captain of the guard for a metalbending city to one of the most famous/infamous people in the entire world.

Kai: Hey, if it counts for anything, I think you made the right decision. Only when his people are sure to starve does he finally give in.

The Governor of the State of Yi straight up refused Kuvira's offer (and it's implied that he had refused several times before) because he refused to compromise on his principles in the face of a woman whom he considered a conqueror and a warlord.

Then she convinces all of them to join her army while reiterating that she's the one trying to save the Earth Kingdom. Taking out a gang of bandits almost twenty strong with nothing more than metalbent manacles and some effortless dodging is impressive.

Though she may be the Big Bad of this Book, you have to hand it to Kuvira.

Kai and Opal effortlessly defeating a gang of thugs in Yi, Kai airbending their car hard enough to flip it then Opal catching them with airbending as they're flung from the seats.

In the three years since the events of Book 3, Asami has spurred Future Industries into making a rail line that connects the United Republic of Nations with the still fractured Earth Kingdom so that supplies can be moved to still recovering areas with greater ease and safety.
