* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Regardless of his rough edges, Mako loves Bolin, and he's [[Undying Loyalty|fiercely loyal]] and ''very'' protective of him. He willingly took (and presently still does take) most burdens and responsibilities of their living conditions. He also sheltered his brother from the harsh realities and darker nature of their environment, which led to Bolin's current naiveté and dependency. Both siblings have such an immense, strong bond, actually, that [[Heroic Sacrifice|neither would second guess giving their lives for one another]] despite their clashes.

** It also serves as a [[Green Eyed Epiphany]]. It's implied that whatever he's feeling for Korra has been suppressed, and for good reason (his brother and Asami are core cases). It isn't until Bolin takes his interest for her ''seriously'' that Mako begins to confront what he's been denying. And he still attempted to deny it for most of episode five.

And emphasizing that dating a team mate is a bad idea. Of course, this doesn't deter Bolin at all, and it could be said that a part of Mako ''was'' looking out for him in some way.

** "And The Winner Is..." had him step in defense of Korra during a round with the Wolfbats, attempting to block a three-on-one attack that almost knocked them both out the ring. He also shows concern about her going after Amon and the Equalists, telling her to be careful. Once she comes out of that fight unscathed, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he runs up to her fretfully and gives her a hug, glad to see she's okay]]. He's certainly very protective about people he cares about.
