After watching the finale I was thinking that who will be lead the Eark Kingdom since the Earth King and Bosco are MIA.
Then I thought Toph could become the ruler, since the gang is going to split up to help out in the reconstruction of the post war world.
Do you think Toph should be ruler of the Earth Kingdom?

There are probably so many people who are more qualified for it.
Even if the Earth King doesn't take his throne, I'm sure one of the General of 5 could have.

I don't find this likely unless she marries into the royal family of some sorts.

The earth kingdom seems a bit dogmatic and traditional to allow for someone not of royal descent to become the earth king... although maybe the Bei Fong family is distantly related to the royals.
Even so, Toph isn't much into ceremony, and is even less into "rules." She likes fighting and messing with people.
So I don't think it likely.

I also highly doubt it seeing as how she is blind and a ruler needs to be able to read...
I'm gonna change the direction of this thread a bit since the decision is unianimous up to this point. Does the Earth Kingdom even have need of a king? We all know that at one point it had the Earth king, but he was simply a figurehead and after seeing the rest of the earth kingdom I'd wonder if he simply wasn't the leader of Ba Sing Sae and then when Ba Sing Sae was the final city took the title. After all, he's not what most would consider to be king material. He doesn't bend, hes rather cowardly, he isn't the smartest guy we've ever been shown. When we look at the only other civilization that has a single ruler, the fire nation, we find that there is genetics that allow every member of the royal family to be benders, and very skilled ones. It seems highly unlikely that the king of the earth kingdom would be a non-bender who can't defend himself.

I don't think Toph would want the job. She doesn't seem the type, and she doesn't seem to much into politics.
I think the Earth King will go back to Ba Sing Sa, he's had his time to travel, and now the war is over, so I'm sure he'll be back. As for Bumi, he's got Omashu to take care of!

No...at least no until she's older. What? But Zuko is allowed to rule the Fire Nation being so young? And Toph is wiser then him
