Kawasara moments in TBV so far
follow this post for more updates
The conflict from TBV Chapter 4 where Kawaki promises to off himself after defeating Boruto and Sarada vows to prevent him from sacrificing either of them. The only thing we know is that Sarada doesn't like this plan of Kawaki killing Boruto: The reason is not explicitly stated by Ikemoto still and as readers, we are filling the blanks for Ikemoto.
2. Not really a kawasara crumb but that Kawaki (again) comments on Boruto's appearance asking if he has been adopted by the Uchiha Clan (Ch 3 TBV.) I guess you do take note of the appearance of someone you seeing after 3 years but a fangirl can dream lmao.
3. Sarada's injury in Ch13 after Jura leaves with Hidari's Soul Bulb. Kawaki is focusing on her and the injury. Honestly over here, its that Kawaki was behind Sarada while Konohamaru checked the damage on her, he glances behind from the corner of his eye when Boruto regains consciousness. Which means before Boruto came to, his focus was entirely on Sarada. Even based on the tilt of his head, you can guess that he was fully facing Sarada's back.
He humors Sarada too with her incessant demands, "yeah yeah, I know. I'll save him too, don't worry." Like he knows that Boruto needs to die and honestly if he wanted, he could have let him die and get what he want. But he's probably following Shikamaru's protocols, and needs Boruto for more information. We get a crumb here though with Kawaki acknowledging Sarada's demands again <3 He listens to her, your honour.
4. Kawaki's reaction to when Sarada collapses and Boruto reaches to save her. Kawaki on the ground looking bewildered in chapter 32. Kawaki was stunned when it happened. He asks what happened to Sarada; Boruto tells him she is unconscious and not responding. That's also when Kawaki grimaces and ups his output level way beyond what Amado would have recommended. Honestly, he didn't need to, I agree. Staying calm and composed and taking over Sarada's role instead with Daemon would have been sufficient and he would have done exactly that if he didn't care about what happened to Sarada. He would have reacted the way he shrunk the clawmarks on one of the jounins outside Konoha. He didn't. Kawaki (king of idgaf and indifference) lets his emotions get better of him, ups his output, firing almost blindly and overheats in the process.
5. Kawaki telling Hima he's okay to instead check on Sarada who's bleeding from her eyes (chapter 33). In the first panel the location of everyone is revealed. Kawaki is to the bottom right; ShikaCho to the middle right, Himawari in between of ShikaCho and Kawaki and running towards Kawaki; Sarada is to the bottom left.
Himawari runs when Kawaki collapses but Kawaki tells instead to care about Sarada. Even judging from his head tilt, when Himawari approaches him, he is not looking at her, who would be arriving from his right, he is looking a little to his left at Sarada, where Boruto brought her down.
I personally like how the panels are arranged in the below photo: while Kawaki is actually looking to his right at the hoards of Mamushi heading towards Eida with Konohamaru and Himawari looking in the same direction as him, and focus on Sarada's circumstance. The arrangement of the panels are in such a way that it feels like Kawaki is looking at Sarada's face from afar with Konohamaru and Himawari by her side but far away from him. Kinda poetic with a dash of angst. The way he tries to keep far away from both Hima and Sarada, by pushing Himawari away, and standing behind Sarada in the second example, away from their viewpoint. Not exactly ship moment, but can be seen as a crumb: a look into what Kawaki does to adjust to becoming the Hokage's real son.
All these moments being initiated by Kawaki makes it more special as Ootsutsuki are immune to both Omnipotence and Charm, so Kawaki being caring towards Sarada in his own idgaf tsundere way, is charming in a sense. (I don't believe Sarada is immune but I will explain that theory in another post)
One of the most popular takes with regards to KawaSara is that both of them hate each other post omnipotence and Kawaki killing Sarada in one of the other timelines that we managed to avoid. While many fans believe as a result that there's no salvaging for this relationship, Kawaki's limitless patience and concern towards Sarada in the above examples cannot be ignored and still speaks of potential for this pairing.
Will update via reblogs as we get more and more kawasara moments.
