!!General




!!Book One



* Asami makes it clear to Mako her problem is not with Korra but with him for keeping secrets from her and not being honest about his feelings.

!!Book Two



* It is made clear at the end of the season that Korra greatly trusts Asami.

!!Book Three

!!! General



** The Book 3 trailer specifically includes Asami carrying an unconscious Korra to safety atop Naga. In light of future events, there's no way that was a coincidence.
** The first episode even has Korra calling Asami a "girlfriend" while Asami is giving her driving lessons. During said ride, Asami lovingly cranes her head to Korra after the "this is nice" line and it's food for thought where [[MomentKiller the moment/conversation could've gone before that damn vine got in the way.]] Also notice during the car ride they were going down a ''straight'' road with Korra’s eyes being enough on the road at a careful speed that she should’ve seen a ''giant spirit vine in the middle of the road'' a ''lot'' sooner than she did with only momentary glances at Asami. DistractedByTheSexy, much?
** As the Book goes on it has shown the two train together and eat side by side at big dinners. Not only that, they become somewhat of a BattleCouple, with Korra praising Asami's genius. There is also the fact that Asami is the one that keeps watch over Korra's body while she is in the spirit world, a task usually reserved for significant others (Aang and Katara, Zaheer and P'Li).
** In "Long Live the Queen", [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/ea1f12bd9e9c277e2cd51c7961bc7d12/tumblr_nh7lptKjao1tjunm1o3_500.gif while Asami is looking over the wrecked airship]], Korra is looking down at Asami. When Asami straightens and turns around, Korra visibly blinks and raises her gaze, giving the impression that she was [[EatingTheEyeCandy absentmindedly ogling]] Asami.
** "Enter The Void":
*** Asami is the only one nodding to Suyin's statement about them following Korra's lead no matter what, does the same angsty slouch against the wall as she did in the sewer in Season 1 compared to the brothers' comic moment and only [[StepfordSmiler smiling]] when seeing Korra off otherwise she looks [[http://lokgifsandmusings.tumblr.com/post/112626103628/you-cant-expect-us-to-sit-by-and-let-zaheer-take miserable for the rest of the episode]].
*** Before Korra goes off to [[spoiler: hand herself over to Zaheer]] Korra and Asami both turn around and, in perfect unison, embrace one another. Considering the fact that [[spoiler: it's very possible that Korra could have, and in fact almost did, die from this exchange]] its very telling that Korra immediately embraces Asami first.
** "Venom of the Red Lotus":
*** In a small moment during the middle of the season finale when [[spoiler: Team Avatar breaks into the Red Lotus hideout to free the captured airbenders and Korra]], Suyin immediately knocks out one of the Red Lotus guards then creates an earthwall to protect the rest of the group from the remaining one. Asami then leaps over the wall, runs up to said guard and [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend violently electrocutes him]] whilst looking [[http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/File:Asami_stuns_a_guard.png incredibly]] [[http://korrasami.tumblr.com/post/106741720540/an-interesting-development-seeing-the-ladies-at pissed off]].
*** When Suyin is drawing the poison out of Korra's body, the screen focuses on Asami -- [[http://www.cap-that.com/korra/313/images/korra3x13_0954.jpg who looks close to tears]] and even more devastated then Mako.
*** The culmination of all the buildup between Korra and Asami's relationship is shown in the season finale, where Asami is fixing up Korra's hair [[spoiler: while the latter is wheelchair bound and recovering from her battle with Zaheer]]. Asami proceeds to take Korra's hand (an act that is almost always a romantic gesture) and tell her that she is there for her in case she ever wants to "talk... or anything". It's around here that people started to seriously wonder if it could happen.
*** It's heavily implied Asami's been Korra's personal caretaker for the last ''two weeks''. Consider all that comes with such an intense job. [[IntimateHealing That means helping with food, dressing, bathing, helping to the bathroom, in and out of her wheelchair, comforting her after the constant nightmares and anything else Korra might need]] and as "Korra Alone" proved, she would've ''happily'' continued to do all this in the South Pole for ''another'' two weeks and more than likely even ''longer'' if she knew how truly [[BrokenBird broken]] Korra was.
* Book 4 continues the trend:
** In "After All These Years", Asami shows no interest in Prince Wu's attempts to flirt with her, but perks up when Mako tells her that Korra would be returning to Republic City that very night.
** "Korra Alone":
*** When Korra is about to leave for the Southern Water Tribe, Asami tenderly lays her hands on Korra's shoulders and asks if she is sure she does not want her to come with her to the Southern Water Tribe. Note that Asami still has her company to run, something she fought tooth and nail to restore and was on the brink of tears over possibly losing as her sub-plot in Season 2, yet she [[FriendOrIdolDecision doesn't hesitate to leave just to be by Korra's side.]]
*** Bolin's letters to Korra are [[PurpleProse overly flowery]] and Mako's letters are [[{{Adorkable}} predictably awkward]]. Asami's, on the other hand, expounds upon how she misses Korra and that things aren't the same without her around, asks how Korra's doing, then finally goes into what she's been up to. Of these three, Asami is the only one Korra writes back to, because she feels the boys just would not understand what she is going through. It may be that Korra simply sees Asami as her closest, most trusted friend, but the subtext is as clear as crystal.
** In "Enemy at the Gates", when Asami is confused and upset over her father's desire to reconnect with her, she ends up going to a park that contains a giant statue of Korra -- perhaps as a way of being closer to her?
** "Reunion":
*** The restaurant scene is just chock full of this, starting with Asami complimenting Korra's hair (complete with blush from the latter) then the two having to awkwardly admit to Mako that Korra actually wrote back to Asami. Even their argument comes across sounding like a lovers' quarrel. Unlike [[HeadbuttingHeroes Mako and Korra arguing as always]], the ''one'' argument that's ''ever'' happened between Korra and Asami stems from Asami's [[AngerBornOfWorry tension from trusting her father again]], but also arguably as much as being without [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Korra]] for three years without being able to comfort each other over their issues.
*** Korra and Asami's hug is more intimate, with the two closer together, than Korra and Mako's hug.
*** There's this line from Mako, which is borderline LampshadeHanging on it all:
----> '''Mako''': What's going on with you two?
*** [[FreezeFrameBonus Blink and you'll miss it]], but when Korra airbends the Krew plus Wu off the train, [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/bc6149b629a553759ad1455dd56cd8c4/tumblr_nh1oudQAtB1tjunm1o3_400.gif she throws her free arm around Asami's waist]]. Also note that Asami immediately figures out what Korra is doing and jumps with her, while Wu and Mako just get bowled over.
*** Korra also helps Asami onto the train when trying to find Wu, making no effort to do the same for Mako.
*** Furthermore, despite being apart for three years, Korra and Asami are in perfect sync with one another, while Mako is a step behind. During the car chase, Korra trusts Asami to know which way to go, while Asami maneuvers the car so Korra can leap to the van without either of them having to say a word. In the FreezeFrameBonus mentioned above, Asami is already getting ready to jump before Korra even says anything.
*** A second FreezeFrameBonus pops up a few minutes later, when Korra, Asami, and Mako have a GroupHug. [[http://i.imgur.com/dHsEtvw.png Asami hugs Korra, then Mako hugs them both with Korra swinging a free arm around him (which she then uses to keep Wu away).]]
*** During the car chase scene, some people have noted that Asami has a new car that is [[http://dongbufeng.net/media/gallery/albums/k407/k407-1015.png dark blue similar to the color that the water tribe]] would use rather than [[http://i.imgur.com/xXPUE.png black like]] [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cp6oJENS1dQ/hqdefault.jpg it was during]] the earlier seasons.
** "Remembrances":
*** Korra and Asami's interaction is straight out of an (admittedly restrained) HurtComfortFic, with Korra being down on herself and Asami trying to cheer her up.

*** It's worth noting that the reason Asami says she brought tea is because she thought Korra might be cold. However not only is Korra from the Southern Water Tribe (AKA one of the coldest places on earth) she can also manipulate fire and the air around her so she wouldn't be bothered by the weather. Therefore it's pretty obvious that the tea is just pretext in order for Asami to see how Korra is doing.

*** It's worth noting that the reason Asami says she brought tea is because she thought Korra might be cold. However not only is Korra from the Southern Water Tribe (AKA one of the coldest places on earth) she can also manipulate fire and the air around her so she wouldn't be bothered by the weather. Therefore it's pretty obvious that the tea is just pretext in order for Asami to see how Korra is doing.

Asami's, on the other hand, expounds upon how she misses Korra and that things aren't the same without her around, asks how Korra's doing, then finally goes into what she's been up to. Of these three, Asami is the only one Korra writes back to, because she feels the boys just would not understand what she is going through. It may be that Korra simply sees Asami as her closest, most trusted friend, but the subtext is as clear as crystal.

** The Book 3 trailer specifically includes Asami carrying an unconscious Korra to safety atop Naga. In light of future events, there's no way that was a coincidence.



*** When Suyin is drawing the poison out of Korra's body the screen focuses on Asami [[http://www.cap-that.com/korra/313/images/korra3x13_0954.jpg who looks close to tears]] and even more devastated then Mako.
*** The culmination of all the buildup between Korra & Asami's relationship is shown in the season finale, where Asami is fixing up Korra's hair [[spoiler: while the latter is wheelchair bound and recovering from her battle with Zaheer.]] Asami proceeds to take Korra's hand, (an act that has almost always as a romantic gesture), and tell her that she is there for her in case she ever wants to "talk... or anything".

* In Book 2 when Varrick suggests that Asami smuggle weapons to the Southern Water Tribe to help fight against the Northern Water Tribe Asami agrees without hesitation as this will both help Korra and to save her company from bankruptcy. In contrast, [[spoiler: Mako tells Raiko that Korra intends to go behind his back and get the United Republic Army to help fight against the Northern Water Tribe thus hindering Korra's efforts to help her family which leads to their first breakup.]] While this is not quite a shipping moment it does show how far Asami is willing to go to help Korra, adding in a war that the United Republic has stated that it wants nothing to do with, while [[spoiler: Mako takes Raiko's side and tries to keep the United Republic out of the war.]]

* In Book 1, many see the scene in which Korra rides in Asami's race car as very shippy. More so the scenes before and after where after bonding, Korra removes the one insult ("prissy") she had used to describe Asami. On Asami's part there is her trying her dead best to become friends with Korra, and even after everything bad that happens to her, because of her friendship with Korra, Asami still states that she likes Korra.
