After the events of season 2, they grew even closer, with Asami helping Korra recover from mercury poisoning and Korra sending her letters during the three years she spent away from Republic City.
Days after the finale suggested the long fan-desired pairing finally happened- closing on Korra and Asani holding hands and entering the spirit world together - Konietzo and and DiMartino took to their respective Tumblr accounts to discuss the relationship.
Providing they dont kill each other first. 'The Legend of Korra' creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino have confirmed that Korra and Asami ended the series as a couple. But as a plot against not only Republic City but the world is uncovered, theyll have to set aside their differences and work together. Eventually, they became friends and Asami joined Team Avatar, turning into an essential part of the group. Asami is a young heiress looking for answers, Korra is the Avatar and has a really short temper, and Yao is a PI with a dark secret. At first, she and Korra were intimidated by each other’s presence, since Korra also had a crush on Mako. Korra and Asamis relationship is a revolutionary moment of LGBT+ representation in western animation, thus its a treat to have their love captured on this. When she was first introduced in The Legend of Korra, Asami was Mako’s girlfriend and Korra’s romantic rival.
However, although there are romantic undertones to Asami and Korra’s relationship, they never shared an onscreen kiss nor declared their feelings. The last shot of the show has the two girls holding hands and smiling as they step into the portal, in a scene that is reminiscent of Aang and Katara at the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender. At the end of The Legend of Korra, Asami and Korra decide to go on a vacation together in the Spirit World - but they specifically didn't kiss.
