Despite having the least developed friendship out of the core Krew up to this point, Korra and Asami have only 3 more interactions than Korra and Mako during Book 3, though a few of theirs are considerably longer than many of the Korra-Mako interactions (the car conversation, the fight scene in “The Earth Queen,” “Long Live the Queen”)

“The Stakeout” was strong in both Korra-Mako and Korra-Asami interaction, as was “Reunion” (otherwise known as the episode that confused the hell out of shippers due to the fact that there was just as much Makorra material as there was Korrasami)

Korra and Asami had more direct interaction than Korra and Mako in Book 3 (largely because both parties were MIA in separate places for two episodes), while Korra and Mako had more direct interaction than Korra and Asami in Book 4.

The last episode to focus on the relationship between Korra and Asami is “Long Live the Queen,” in Book 3. The last episode to focus on the relationship between Korra and Mako is “Beyond the Wilds,” in Book 4.

The events of “Long Live the Queen” are directly related to Mako ordering Asami to take Korra while he and Bolin held off Ghazan and Ming-Hua. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to argue that particular interaction as a romantic one, as Mako told Asami to take Korra and go (as opposed to Asami volunteering), and Asami is a non-bender with good self-defense skills and fighting abilities while Ghazan and Ming-Hua were extremely skilled bending masters with their own specialized sub-bending abilities. It screams horribly practical more than anything else.

Mako and Korra had nearly twice as many interactions during Book 4 as Korra and Asami did (32 vs. 17). I don’t know how much more screentime they got, since someone has not put together a video showcasing the Korra-Mako interactions (unlike the person who very helpfully compiled this video all of the Korra-Asami interactions).

Despite being the final book, Korra and Asami have only 17 total interations in Book 4, 4 of which are indirect (conversations about Korra/Asami, the letters). This is less interaction than Mako and Korra had in Book 3 (17 vs. 22), widely considered to be the least Korra-Mako heavy season.

Korra and Asami do not talk directly to each other after “Remembrances” before the last two minutes of the finale. Mako and Korra get nearly the entire episode directly after “Remembrances” of direct interaction with each other (“Beyond the Wilds”).

Both Mako and Asami argue with Korra during “Reunion.” Mako apologizes (indirectly, but within Korra’s hearing and smiling at her), Asami does not beyond saying “there’s bound to be an adjustment period.” In fact, it is actually Korra who apologizes, despite not instigating the argument.

We have three Korrasami hugs and two handholds (“Venom of the Red Lotus” and “The Last Stand”). We have four Makorra hugs (one of which was a “Fire Ferrets” hug) and several shoulder touches.

I have already discussed the differences in how Mako and Asami talk about Korra during “Remembrances.”

We get very little verbal discussion of Korra’s feelings for either Mako or Asami.

Bolin and Asami, whose friendship recieved major screentime during Book 2, had two to three conversations post-Book 2 and one hug. We did not get to see their reunion in Book 4. Nor do we get to see any major conversation between Korra and Bolin in Book 4 save for the brief “Fire Ferrets” moment at the beginning of “Beyond the Wilds.”

Mako and Asami maintained a good and healthy relationship post-Book 2 and are shown as remaining good friends, even if they don’t get to spend much time together

Asami is not present for the culmination of Korra’s spiritual and mental recovery in “Beyond the Wilds.” Mako, however, is.

Korra is not present for Asami’s initial interactions with her father and attempted restoration of their relationship. Actually, no one seems to be with Asami at this point.

Neither Asami nor Mako is mentioned at all in “The Calling.”

Side note: Asami’s actions towards Korra are largely consistent with her characterization throughout the series as a sweet, compassionate, caring person that is also independent and unafraid to stand up for what she believes in. None of her actions towards Korra are inconsistent with her character as a whole except for two scenes: the finale (during which both Korra and Asami were out of character for most of their conversation). Of course, those two scenes also happen to comprise two of the three non-ambiguous romance scenes (the other is the blush in “Reunion,” which I’m counting even though Korra has blushed out of embarrassment or because of a compliment before when the interaction was non-romantic).

Basically, Asami acted the same way towards Korra as she did towards the majority of all other decent characters most of the time (save annoying ones like Varrick and Wu), specifically Mako and Bolin. It is difficult to differentiate between normal Asami behavior and romantic behavior towards Korra.

Oh please I am well versed in what Korrasami shippers will say and they are wrong.Outside of long live the queen they did not have much time to themselves only a driving scene and collecting the each queens taxes Korra had more important scenes with Mako in book books 3 and 4 and in book 3 when Korra was in danger all the emphases when to Mako.There is no evidence Korra wanted Asami to be there since she gives Asami a dirty look when she offers to go to the South pole but she always when to Mako or Tenzin when she wanted comfort ikkinthekitsune.tumblr.com/pos… Asami has nothing like this and even in reunions Korra actively goes to hug Mako not stand still like she did with Asami.Korra wrote one letter to Asami judging from the fact she did not know Korra could go back into the Avatar state.That line is taken out of context by you korrasami shippers here is that full conversation transcript from avatar spirit.So can you go into the Avatar State again?I was worried when you told me you couldn't.Wait.When did she tell you she couldn't?What's going on with you two?I wrote to Asami while I was away. I asked her not to tell you. I'm sorry.Well, why didn't you ever write to me? Or Bolin?I don't know.I guess I didn't know what to say.A "hello" would have been nice.Mako, if it makes you feel any better, she didn't write me either.Why would she...Never mind.I'm sorry I didn't stay in touch, but I'm back now. And I want to know everything about what's been going on with you two.Well, I kind of have some big news.I went to visit my father for the first time. He'd been writing me letters and I guess I finally felt ready to try and forgive him.You sure you can trust him? He might just be manipulating you again.You think I don't know what my own father is capable of?!Yes Asami brought twa to Korra but it did no go nor does anything she does here help Korra it was Tenzin that cheered here up funny enough Mako went on for ten miunites about how great Korra was.As an added bonus she never shows attraction to Asami like Mako ikkinthekitsune.tumblr.com/pos… This person has more detalisEven in book 3 and 4 Mako stil had more important moments with Korra then Asami. fantastic-nonsense.tumblr.com/…
