Amon själv är en kraftfull blodbender
Som sådan kunde han använda sin egen blodböjningsförmåga för att motstå Tarrloks försök att blodbenta honom. Faktum är att han var kraftigare än Tarrlok, vilket framgår av hans förmåga att enkelt blodbenta Tarrlok tillbaka när de var barn:Tarrlok: I'm Amon's brother. [Korra gasps. Cut to the camera panning across the bay of Republic City and a view of Aang Memorial Island with the bay shrouded in fog. Voice-over.]
Tarrlok: Amon is from the Northern Water Tribe. [Cut to inside Tarrlok's cell looking outward at Mako and Korra.] He's a waterbender and a bloodbender, [Frontal shot of Tarrlok as he lifts his head up.] Just like I was.
Korra [Surprised]: What?
[Korra and an equally shocked Mako glance at each other and back at Tarrlok. Mako takes a step forward to Tarrlok's cell.]
Mako: Did you know this all along?
Tarrlok: [Cut to Tarrlok.] No, [Bends his head down.] not until after he captured me.
[Camera cuts to a side-view of the entire scene.]
Korra: How did your brother end up becoming Amon?

Yakone: Noatak, go! [Noatak inhales, and Tarrlok struggles against the bloodbending. Tarrlok falls to his knees, and Noatak narrows his eyes, making him lean back.] Excellent. [Noatak bows to his father and frees Tarrlok.] Tarrlok, your turn.
