To put it simply, I support SasuKarin because I believe the two fit each other better than anyone else (of the opposite sex) can. It’s the first time that a girl steps by Sasuke's side to behave as his equal, and that on this shared ground Sasuke is so receptive. Not only that, but they’re good for each other; their usual dynamic was never detrimental to their respective character growths, behavior, or objectives. If anything, their presence in each other’s lives had a positive effect on each of them; Sasuke acted on this back in 414 (with Karin included as part of his team), 415 (with Karin singled out) and even in 619 (the first time he was humble enough to apologize to someone)—heck, one could say he acted on this even back when they met in the Forest of Death, as she got such a warm smile out of him. And Karin has been demonstrating as much all along since we now know the desire to see him smile again was the fuel behind her drive all along.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8UcLGTPrK

Karin’s love for Sasuke has never been portrayed as negative, either; not even once. And as previously mentioned, Sasuke has displayed a noteworthy partiality to her—which Tobi himself later confirms by calling her Sasuke’s ‘favorite’—that guaranteed his usual (aka pre-changed-dark-Sasuke) treatment of her was never prejudicial to her or their dynamic. The lack of negative traits (in their usual dynamic. I will touch ‘changed Sasuke’ later) is only natural because, as previously stated, their bond is built on a healthy foundation; that of mutual acknowledgment, trust, and respect. It also helps that both are quite authoritative, so neither takes a submissive role when it comes to the other.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8cWanyE6u

It has a lot of potential for the future. It also has a lot of potential for canonization because it goes hand in hand with a lot of themes and patterns that Kishimoto has portrayed as positive in the past; not to mention that they’ve gotten a considerable amount of substance, both subtle and not-so-subtle. And most importantly, from both ends.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciPygyNJHp
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cwFGgHUk8
Like I mentioned before, it does not matter that said mutuality is not romantic in nature as of yet; the simple fact that there are mutual respect, acknowledgment, and care is great enough, especially considering just how complicated Sasuke is as a character when it comes to bonding with (and acknowledging) others and that he tends to have this sort of bond with males rather than women. Plus, they have gone through similar experiences of loss, so it’s safe to assume there’s an understanding between them, too. As such, their bond does have all the right bases and foundations to take the next natural step once they’re both ready for it.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnBo1zTNCm
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG9Zu1FAbD
I think Kishimoto has done a nice job with them, all things considered. While their bond had already reached a certain stage by the time Karin was introduced to us, Kishimoto progressively showed different sides of it to us. Plus, he gave Karin’s character some needed originality; he's doing his best to make her as unique as he can (the biting being a prime example) and to make her approach to Sasuke (and her feelings for him) be completely different from those of other female characters in the past (no, really. when has a girl ever been tsundere over him?) to the point Sasuke himself considers she isn't easy to handle.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AD3eBfYqf

The only negativity actually came during the arc Sasuke went Dark, which says a lot because it took him undergoing a radical change for the worse—forsaking his usual nature and becoming unlike the Sasuke Karin has always known—for there to be any in the pairing. Yet, Karin once again demonstrated that Sasuke does not negatively affect her character, as she was able to show her trademark self-respect once more and say that it was enough, despite her feelings for him and continued to give him a hard time even after his apology to her.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW5O2CAxKF

… And, well, for those who care about power-levels, the descendants of the Uzumaki/Uchiha union would have access to both, yin and yang chakra. So they would be very well-rounded shinobi, to say the least. And this is without getting into the symbolical meaning an Uchiha/Uzumaki union would encompass.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwQdfy3xta
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR59ABqLsl
These two simply are a perfect match, no matter from which side you look at it.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxmwwtVYMz
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz332IbohP
Kishimoto has made them as such. And there must be a reason for that; a reason that I’m hoping will be the one this manifesto alludes to. It’s just a matter of seeing where he takes them from here on out.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsPgAZ01Fv
738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ03atf83hZ
Conclusion? In their usual dynamic, SasuKarin is a healthy relationship where their interactions pose no negative influence on either of them, for both parties actually receive and give. Plus, they also make an excellent match, not only personality-wise but also as a team. They getting together is a likely outcome for both of them and there are moments (and overall thematic patterns) supporting this.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JQzyJBaLh
