Toph and Sokka’s friendship is one of the best friendships that is shown in Avatar. They teased each other, protected each other, and understood each other. They had each other’s backs in every situation.

Of all the people in the Avatar gang, Toph seemed to be the closest with Sokka. He, too, seemed to be the one who understood her the most. Some fans are still of the opinion that she had a crush on him. Well, romantic or not, here's a look at some of the best Toph-Sokka moments from the series.

10 When She Didn't Count Him As A Fighter

When Azula, Ty Lee and, Mai kept tracking the Avatar gang wherever they went, the gang decided it was time to finally face them. Before the fight started, Toph commented that they were three on three and could easily take on Azula’s group.

Sokka, who was the fourth person there, told her that there were four people. She told him she did not count him as he was not a bender. He took this personally and said he could still fight. She teased him back by saying “Okay, three on three plus Sokka.”

9 She Appreciated His Art

In Season 2, the Avatar Gang reached Ba Sing Se in search of Appa. Sokka tried to contribute to the search by making a drawing of Appa to use on "Missing" posters. Everyone started making fun of his drawing and saying it looked nothing like Appa.

Toph, however, told him that the drawing looked just like Appa to her. Sokka began to thank her before he realized that she was making fun of him since she was blind and could not have seen the drawing.

8 When She Genuinely Missed Him

In "Sokka’s Master," when the Avatar Gang was in the Fire Nation, Sokka wanted to learn professional swordsmanship. There, he found a teacher for himself named Piandao. While he was away training for his new skill, the rest of the gang members became bored without his antics.

Toph said that she missed Sokka. When he came back, she turned away and blushed while telling him that she did not care that he was gone. Sokka, however, understood and said he was touched.

7 Their Heart-To-Heart Conversation

After Katara and Toph had a huge fight over Toph scamming Fire Nation citizens, Sokka pulled her aside to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

He opened up to her about Katara and how she had been such a source of strength for him. Toph, too, agreed that Katara was actually not that bad. Neither of them had ever opened up about something like this to anyone else.

6 When He Complained About The Dark

In "The Drill," the Avatar gang devised a plan to get inside the drill. Their plan was to stay hidden underground until the drill came directly above them and then sneak in once it did. Toph made a hole in the ground and everyone jumped in.

When she closed the hole, Sokka complained about how it was so dark in there that he could not see anything, forgetting that Toph was blind. Toph sarcastically shot back saying what a nightmare that must be. He realized his mistake and immediately apologized.

5 When She Almost Crushed Him

In "The Desert," the Avatar gang got attacked by a horde of Buzzard Wasps at night. Since these creatures were flying, Toph could not see where they were, but she was still trying to help.

She threw a huge boulder at one of the creatures and narrowly missed, crushing Sokka underneath it. She apologized to him, and he replied that he would take care of this problem. This indicated that he considered her to be close enough to him for him to not be offended by what she did.

4 The Way She Clung Onto Him

There were several points in the show where Toph sat next to Sokka while they were flying from place to place on Appa. Several times, she clung to him or sat with her arm linked to his arm.

Seeing them sitting together, just chilling as friends and talking, was an endearing sight to see. Scenes like these also helped normalize platonic physical affection between friends of the opposite gender.

3 When He Took Her To Safety

In "The Desert," when Aang found out that the sandbenders had kidnapped Appa and muzzled him, he flew into a rage. He was so angry that he went into the Avatar state, and it looked like he was about to destroy everyone in front of him.

Sand was flying everywhere as Aang rose into the air. Sokka took Toph and ran away from danger. When he saw danger, his first instinct was to save Toph, instead of simply running away to safety.

2 When She Saved Him

In "The Serpent’s Pass," the Avatar gang had to walk on a very narrow and dangerous path to get across. Some Fire Nations soldiers caught wind of their plan and started attacking them.

One of the soldier's attacks caused a huge amount of debris to fall. The debris would have fallen right on top of Sokka and buried him underneath, but Toph deflected it with the use of earthbending.

1 When They Were About To Die

In the final battle against the Fire Nation, Toph and Sokka were on a Fire Nation airship, fighting their army. While deflecting an attack from one of the soldiers, they fell off the side of the airship.

Sokka held on to Toph tightly as she hung in the air. Soon they were surrounded by the Fire Nation soldiers, and it seemed like they were going to be killed. Sokka could have saved himself if he had let go of Toph, but he held on to her and was ready to die with her. Yet, despite everything that happened between them, they still couldn't let go of the awkwardness between them.
