Hello Catsi, good to see you again. That aside I think you misread me. Did I say that SK is all over or that it is a ship sinking? I do not think I did. I was pointing out the facts of the pairing. Sasuke treated Karin decently showed concern over her pre Summit Arc. Plus they had more screen time than most couples in the manga. That's good. BUT, again I am saying that he did try to kill her and besides that fact that she not Sakura in terms of appearance, fan girling is fan girling. Let me address both points, and make it clear I am not against the pairing but am saying that it should be handled as logically as we handle NS. First, Sasuke tried to kill Karin, and we attribute that fact that we say He tried to kill Sakura. We say that Sasuke trying to kill Sakura is detrimental in the development in their relationship should it be pursued. So with this in mind We could say the same about Karin. Sasuke trying to kill her does not leave a good imprint of their bond does it? The only difference is she was acting like it was all water under the bridge, Sakura not so much, reason being that Karin still thinks that Sasuke is a cool looking, handsome and genius guy. *Note* Sakura liked Sasuke for these reasons as well, but She became aware of his obsession for revenge and did not want him to leave, and at the same time she was aware of Naruto's hardships, and insecurities, and became more protective and caring towards him. Karin still adores Sasuke for his appearance but does she know him on the inside? Does she know of the pain of losing his family? Does she know of the revenge that has taken hold in his being, or the heartbreak of knowing Itachi's true motives? Well maybe but she has yet to express them on panel if that is the case. Point is NS is like that. We like them because of that, so if we support NS based on those reasons, then I say we should see SK the same way. Otherwise, we might as well accept NH and SS for no reason other than the fact that they exist. Am I saying I don't like SK and am dogging on it? No. I am only reasoning it out the same way I would reason out NS because I like SK and would regard it like NS. talking out the pros and cons For instance I would say NS' main problem is that they try to keep each other from being hurt a little too much they may lie and keep the truth from each other because they do not want to see each other sad. Cute and Considerate, but It still does not change the problem and it is better to face the problem together. But that is my stance on it because Japanese culture dictates dignity and not troubling others with you problems, man or woman, but I believe that it helps to be more open about it. So I'm not saying I don't want SK, I'm am saying the facts that I hold to NS.
