Asami Sato’s Act of Forgiveness

Asami Sato's Act of Forgiveness. Asami Sato is a driven inventor, with a successful business. She’s a skilled fighter and the voice of reason for Korra’s Team Avatar. However, there is way more to Asami Sato than just being a support for her team. Her character arc tells us the important lesson of forgiveness. Throughout her tale, there are three different people that Asami has to forgive to grow more confident within herself. Today, we're exploring Asami's character arc more in an in-depth understanding of the act of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is easier said than done for sure. I'm grateful for the Legend of Korra, for having a character that can teach us such an important skill! What other Korra characters should I make a video about? Hope you're having a great day =)

[@AndalusianPhilosopher]

Please make video about Tenzin. He is my favorite.

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

He's on my list of characters to look at for sure. Got to love Tenzin!

[@AndalusianPhilosopher]

@@CinemaOverAnalyzed He is closest to me by personality out of all the characters. And I do feel special connection to him😉🙂

Please make a video about lin beifong. Her character development is interesting

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

Asami was my favorite character and I wish they had more of her and less of some of the other jokey side characters. She was so well written but then just left out or barely there for long stretches.

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

I do wish we saw more of her building up her company in books two and three. However, I still like how they subtly made her more confident as the books went on. In my eyes, she truly is the glue that holds Korra's Team Avatar together.

[@DaimaGokuedits]

Huge facts she deserved more screen time and its unfair her's had be subtracted in favor of the satire characters

[@kevinballerino426]

The theme of Forgiveness continues into the comic “Ruins of the Empire” where Asmai tries to forgive Kuvira for killing her dad. In the end she says that she can’t really forgive her but she’s grateful for Kuviras help and that she’ll try to make an effort. On a personal note I’m not the biggest fan of ROTE, mainly due to Kuviras story. It’s not that Kuvira redemption could of never worked, but if they wanted to go that rout they shouldn’t of had her operating concentration camps and basically make her into hitler.

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

Asami does develop a lot, even if it is subtle. I think that's why I enjoy her character so much! I hope one day she'll be able to forgive Varrick.

[@naturalinstinct4950]

True. Thats a writing mistake. I guess they went into season 4 halfway and then realize they havent made the villain "villainous" enough by having them voicing several actually valid point, but story conventions demand we must take down the villain during a final battle. So they fell back on nazi parrellels

" Yeah well it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission " - Asami; The Aftermath

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

That's some great advice from our dear friend Asami Sato!

[@MishTheMash]

@@CinemaOverAnalyzed First line of Asami is "...Oh no I'm so sorry I didn't see you..."

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

My favorite Asami line has to be "Your a firebender...boil it yourself." Asami could be so sassy at times...haha!

[@SarahGambill-sl9dl]

No.

[@loganrobson8624]

This Girl had literally every reason to become a bad guy. Her mom was killed by benders, Her father tried to kill her and her friends, her boyfriend treated her like crap and was in love with someone else, they break up, get back together, then breakup again because Mako still hasn’t grown a pair, etc. At least she got her happy ending in the end :)

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

You are right, everything works against her. But it is kind of impressive that she isn't tempted by the dark side. She picks her up and works through it.

[@blackfire1402]

Fun fact Asami was originally going to be written as an equalist spy that dates mako to get closer to Korra and get information from her

[@rainbowmane3233]

I want them to do a graphic novel, of Asami’s dad redemption, and the aftermath of learning Amon is a fraud

[@saramcmurtrie3955]

We should of got more of her.

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

Same, but I'm still happy with what we do have. I mean she did get to flip over a fricken motorcycle...that was pretty cool! What do you wish they could have added to her story?

[@zeke2149]

She is so strong and forgiving

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

For sure! I feel like she's a lot stronger than people give her credit for!

[@SarahGambill-sl9dl]

I don't think she is .

[@shiro_the_trap2513]

Never really got around to watching Korra entirely, I more caught bits and pieces of it when it happened to be showing on TV locally. Nice to see you covering it nonetheless though, good analysis ^^

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

It's a great show, that really gets way too much hate. It's a little slow getting into it, but it truly has some interesting characters. The animation is really beautiful as well. If you have some spare time I definitely recommend it! If you have any other shows you would like me to chat about please let me know =)

[@sushibinstwt_]

i love her so much

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

She's such a great character! She may not say all that much throughout the series, but when she speaks up she's a very wise individual. What is your favorite Asami moment?

[@naturalinstinct4950]

I think she's be an overall more interesting character if the creators went with their original idea of "the Equalist spy"

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

I kind of wish they went into the more business side of things with Books 2 through 4.

[@naturalinstinct4950]

@@CinemaOverAnalyzed nah if prefer she were a villain, villain arc is more interesting 😂

[@anigetx5758]

Hey I loved your video and deep dive in to Asami's character, most of the time she's super overlooked but she has so many important lessons that we can all connect with and learn from. At least in my own personal life I know she inspires me after such a tragic life to keep hustling for a brighter tomorrow. Your analysis just gave me even more vision into her character and I really appreciate your work and time for it, thank you for existing and doing what you do.

[@kanalkucker14]

Great video as always!

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@ahmedmaklad6527]

this was done better in the last Airbender when Katara was determined to go after her mother's killer but she realized it wasn't worth it at the end of said episode she forgave Zuko for all the shit he's done

[@johnlawrencemaniquis9174]

Okay, so? No one asked, okay?

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

Both Asami and Katara have some parallels. However, I don't think it's fair to judge that one is better than the other. Both have different personal journeys that help them learn to forgive. That's kind of like comparing apples to oranges.

[@noahcharles2274]

I would love for Asami to have an arc where she has to forgive herself for something like Zuko did (I’m assuming you’ve already seen the the whole ATLA series if you’re watching videos on TLOK but if you haven’t don’t click “Read More” unless you’ve seen ATLA through The Day of Black Sun) after he believed his sister when she pretended to want to take him back to their father with the honor from having eliminated the Avatar.

Why am I crying though?

[@CinemaOverAnalyzed]

I'm not quite sure I know the reason why you would be producing tears. But what I do know is, it's okay to feel overwhelmed or vulnerable. If you feel comfortable sharing, I'm always here to listen! Remember it's important to take time for yourself. Mental health is important and there are people who care! Stay strong and Take care of yourself =)

Tbh I always found Asami uninteresting and boring. But you have given me an understanding of her I never considered. I find your work brilliant and the analysis was well done :)

I can see that. Asami really doesn't say that much throughout the series. However, when she talks there is a lot of wisdom you can draw from it. I'm glad I could help you see Asami from a different perspective =)
