Bloodbending isn't for people like Katara. Even though she's strong her heart isn't in battle. The only reason she's learned to fight is to help Aang, plus she's crying at the end of the episode. Imagine how horrible it would be to have that much power. I've been talking about how cool it would be, but think of how scared the people around you would become. You could control them, and they know it. And if you're cruel, you could rip the water from there body, and just kill them that way. Bloodbending should have been kept with Hama till she died. However, it will come in handy, but I don't see Katara using it willingly. She doesn't like it. So there's my two cents.
her.. heart isn't in battle? Are you joking? She's all about fighting. ("I don't wanna heal, I wanna
fight!") She's proven herself to bully people right and left in service of good, and never think twice about it. She just doesn't ever truly hurt anyone.
I agree with you that she doesn't want to bloodbend, because she's not cruel. And she won't want to do it.. but she will, and I don't think she'll angst too much over it, because she'll be as ethical as possible, and she'll do everything she can not to hurt someone with it.
Yes she was crying.. because she was forced to learn and do something horribly dangerous and she's equating herself with Hama and wondering if this skill will change her into someone horrible. I don't think, however, that you can say that she's not into battle, or that she's only fighting to help Aang.
