Bolin and Mako’s Childhood Revealed In
The Legend of Korra: “Republic City Hustle”
Nickelodeon has released the first of three video shorts, which give fans a glimpse at Mako and Bolin’s childhood. The Legend of Korra: “Republic City Hustle”, a three-part webisode series, takes place three years before the events of Book 1 of The Legend of Korra and follows Mako and Bolin’s backstory, including how the duo resorts to small time hustling and working with the Triple Threat Triads to place bets for Pro-Bending matches to make ends meet; how Bolin finds Pabu; and how the pair go from a potential life of crime to having an opportunity to train with Pro-Bending legend, Toza.
During the first webisode, The Legend of Korra: “Republic City Hustle Part 1 (Hustle or Get Hustled),” Mako and Bolin enter the crime-ridden underworld of Republic City where you either hustle, or get hustled. The duo set-up a fake robbery of an older woman’s purse to attempt to get a reward from her.
Fans can also logon to Nick.com to play the new Pai Sho ancient game and attempt to be the reigning champion. Beginning August 30, the entire The Legend of Korra series is unlocked and free for fans to catch-up on full episodes of the entire series on Nick.com.
