Since Jet is most likely an animation nod to Cowboy Bebop, name obviously, but instead he looks like Spike, complete with "cigarette" wheat straw it's appropriate to keep his "death" ambiguous.
If you've watched the series, you'll get the really cool, clever Easter Egg. Jet insisted to Katara that he would be all right, but Toph sensed that he was lying. Smellerbee remained by Jet's side, crying, while Longshot notched an arrow and aimed it at the entrance of the room, ready to prevent any more attacks.
Jet subsequently died from his serious internal injuries. Bryan and Mike explained in the commentary for "The Ember Island Players" that Nickelodeon was against showing kids being fatally wounded or outright killed, especially by a violent attack. It also could not be revealed during the rest of the story, so Toph sensing that Jet was lying about how he would be okay was how they chose to confirm it for the viewers.

Valorum k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Ram Ram Few shows have been successful as Avatar: The Last Airbender at pushing the boundaries of children's television.
At every turn, Avatar made strides in storytelling, animation and, especially, subject matter. Most children's shows, to this day, struggle with subject of death and how to meaningfully integrate it into the story without upending the tone.
When it came to killing off the character Jet in Avatar 's second season, the creators managed to pull off such a feat, but the result was so ambiguous it left some fans scratching their heads. The death is a tragic moment built up throughout the first and second seasons. When Aang and his friends meet Jet and his band of Freedom Fighters, the rogue proved charming, capable and confident in a way that quickly endeared him to the heroes. But just beneath the surface was the dark heart of a revenge-obsessed boy orphaned by the Fire Nation.
The Gaang saved an innocent village from Jet's wrath and then parted ways with him. Jet features much more heavily in the show's second season, where he ventures to the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se to start a new life. Jet's old obsessions quickly return when he comes to suspect Zuko and Iroh of secretly being Firebenders. However, his determination to prove their true identities leads only to his capture by the Dai Li, the city's secret police, and their leader Long Feng, the sinister power behind the Earth Kingdom's throne.
At one point in the fight, Jet took out a soldier Sokka was fighting, and told him that he had to be quicker when Sokka protested. When the fight ended, the two groups introduced themselves to each other. Katara became infatuated with the charismatic rogue and Aang was happy to make new friends, but Sokka did not like him. The Duke found barrels full of blasting jelly and Pipsqueak found crates filled with jelly candy, both of which Jet called great scores and advised his group not to get the two mixed up.
He invited Aang, Sokka, and Katara to dinner at his tree house. At dinner, Jet gave a humorous account of the battle to his followers. Sokka stopped Jet from unjustly hurting an old man. The following morning, Jet invited Team Avatar to stay with him a while and help liberate the valley. Katara and Aang wanted to accept, but Sokka insisted that they should continue to the North Pole.
However, Jet invited Sokka to go with him on a scouting mission, to which Sokka reluctantly agreed. Sokka, Jet, Pipsqueak, and Smellerbee waited in trees alongside a road. Eventually, an old Fire Nation civilian came walking toward the village.
Jet and the fighters ambushed the man while Sokka watched in shock. Jet cruelly interrogated the old man and was about to hurt him when Sokka stopped him. He objected to the poor treatment of harmless civilians, but Jet said that it must be done. The Freedom Fighters robbed the old man and left, Sokka reluctantly going with them. Sokka told his friends of the incident and accused Jet of robbery. Jet pointed out to Aang and Katara that the old man was Fire Nation and revealed a poison knife that the old man supposedly had on him.
While Sokka remained convinced that Jet was a thug, Katara and Aang were convinced by him and decided to stay. That night, Jet and the Freedom Fighters went to the dam overlooking the village of Gaipan to discuss their plan to destroy it, ridding the valley of the Fire Nation.
When The Duke initially objected to killing the innocent people in the town, Jet told him that it had to be done to get rid of the Fire Nation's forces.
Smellerbee discovered Sokka eavesdropping on them. Sokka was horrified by Jet's plan, but Jet tried to convince him that it was the right thing to do. Sokka was adamant, and Jet reluctantly ordered Smellerbee and Pipsqueak to restrain him. After Aang and Katara learned of his true plans, Jet battled the Avatar. In the morning, Jet met Aang and Katara, who did not know about his plan to destroy the dam. They apologized for Sokka's behavior, but Jet told them that he already apologized and that he was on a mission to help the Freedom Fighters.
Jet convinced the two of them that the Fire Nation was planning to burn the forest and he needed their help. He took Aang and Katara to the river and told them to use their waterbending on underground geysers to flood the river. He left to help the others set up the blasting jelly on the dam. Aang and Katara finished their task earlier than expected and went to find Jet. When they got to a cliff, they discovered Jet's plan to destroy the dam. Aang was about to go to stop him, but Jet swooped out of a tree and stole Aang's glider.
Jet tried to convince Aang and Katara that he was doing the right thing, but a heartbroken Katara attacked him with water. Aang tried to get his glider back, but Jet defended himself with his hook swords and jumped into the trees. A fight ensued across the treetops between Aang and Jet. Jet eventually got out of the trees and damaged Aang's glider, but Katara caught him off guard and froze him in ice.
Jet whistled a signal to his group, while Aang and Katara watched helplessly as the dam was destroyed and Gaipan was flooded. Katara angrily accused Jet of mass murder, but Jet defiantly told them that the sacrifices were necessary to ensure the safety of the valley. Suddenly, Sokka flew in and revealed that he had gotten away and warned the villagers of Jet's attack, and that they were all safe.
Jet angrily called Sokka a traitor, but Sokka calmly replied that Jet was the traitor for not protecting innocent people. Jet made one last plea to Katara, but she coldly said goodbye. The group flew off, leaving Jet frozen and defeated. Jet introduced himself and his group to Zuko and Iroh on an Earth Kingdom ferry. Among the many passengers were Zuko and Iroh. Shortly after the boat took off, he overheard Zuko complaining about the disgusting food ; he offered to help Zuko steal better food from the captain, who ate like a "king".
Zuko and the Freedom Fighters successfully stole the captain's food supply and gave it out to the passengers. Jet admitted to Zuko and Iroh that he did terrible things in his past that he was not proud of, but that was why he and his Freedom Fighters were going to Ba Sing Se to make amends, and get a second chance. Iroh contemplated his decision, believing that people deserve second chances and could change their lives if they wanted. Jet later talked to Zuko alone, telling him that when he first saw his scar he realized that he was an outcast like himself.
Jet stated that they should watch out for each other, because no one else would.
