SK appreciation #4; the war and how good it’s been to us8964 copyright protection256PENANASl87vvlNb2 ç¶å°¼
Can we take a moment to appreciate just how much positive SasuKarin Kishi has managed to sneak in through the course of the war even though:8964 copyright protection256PENANA7U29YTLX92 ç¶å°¼
- Sasuke and Karin were missing for a good chunk of it.
- He is trying to keep Sasuke as mysterious as possible, which means trying to keep his interactions with others ambiguous.
- The focus of the war so far has been on something else entirely (From Obito to Madara to Team 7 to Naruto-and-Sasuke so on so forth)
- In that light: they’ve hardly interacted.
So that despite all that we still got:8964 copyright protection256PENANA135ORuGM7u ç¶å°¼

… To name a few. And I’m leaving out details like their respective returns to the manga being literally one after the other (573 closed with Sasuke, 574 opened with Karin), the reader finding out about her Uzumaki legacy only when Sasuke does and Sasuke’s reaction to it, etc.8964 copyright protection256PENANAhSmeZIC3sH ç¶å°¼
In just a handful of chapters alone Kishi managed to: reintroduce SasuKarin, remind us all of the traits that form their bond, and begin to move it past its status quo. All this while portraying it in a decidedly positive light. So I’d say the war has definitely been pretty good to us so far.8964 copyright protection256PENANAEHU9OLVDWA ç¶å°¼

AND there’s still everything we have to look forward to. Like Sasuke hearing about Karin’s feelings for him, finding out what she means to him, their shared backstory and how Suigetsu knows so much about them and all the good stuff that’s going to come once it’s finally time for Sasuke’s actual “character-development, Nakama-accepting arc”.8964 copyright protection256PENANANQY2AE4OPI ç¶å°¼
