Ohh dang!!!

Dude. She didn’t stop at the village. “Largest city in the world.” 😅😅😅😅

​@@MayTheOddsBeInYourFavorGo big or go home right?

in that time period of Japan, a western city as major and influential as London may as well have been like Mordor to them, when you put it like that 😂😂

If this is set in the 1600s, the fire of Japan we see here and the Great Fire of London weren't far apart from each other. No true cause for each fire has really been disclosed so I bet Mizu will cause it in Season 2.

When he said that it gave me full body chills

I love this theory and I hope it happens​@@nocturnalcove9736

@@nocturnalcove9736”no true cause?!” A certain writer, a certain baker, and many historians, not to mention the hordes of yr2 age children who are made to do projects on the Great Fire of London may have opposing words to that…

It's a weird line though. I get wanting to be critical of the actions of Europeans in history but the "That's your white half showing" comment is weird; as if the series hasn't shown Japanese people being cruel, brutal, bigoted and untrustworthy throughout the entire show.

@BingleFlimp I think what it’s trying to imply is that white colonizers were known for killing and burning everything in their paths for the sake of conquest. Japanese were also bad during this time with their xenophobia, but the British were ruthless with their rape and murder all across the world.

@@BingleFlimp Might be on purpose. A nod to the hypocritical mindset the Japanese have against other races. They're "better" while the others are "disgusting monsters", despite being similarly violent. In their eyes, a Japanese person being compared to a White person is an insult. It's an insult Fowler knew would hurt Mizu. The racism and cruel treatment she experienced simply for being half-white is what led her down the path of revenge towards the person who made her this way. She hates her white side, so being compared to the thing you hate the most will surely sting.

All those countless samurai get what they ask for since they were trying to kill her too while is she's out number. only civilian counts

@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2bl Not entirely justifiable from a moral perspective. The samurai hunting her would be fair game, but you can’t claim self defense when you instigate conflict. The samurai defending Fowler die just for being obstacles.

@@GreenBro11 well it's their choice for defending him means they're prepared to kill or die so they aren't considered as innocent victim

@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2bl It’s not about innocence or guilt. Revenge is self motivated. At any point Mizu could make the choice to stop. She even did as a part of her character arc. By continuing to pursue Fowler and the other white men at all costs, she’s also chosen to destroy anything or anyone in her way regardless. By making that choice, and continuing to in every step she takes towards it, every death as a consequence of that was avoidable, whether it’s the innocent people dying it that fire she caused, assassin after her life, or samurai just doing their job. You could make arguments for each individual killing, but that’s also not really the point. Much like Kratos destroying Olympus at some point you have to ask if the revenge was actually worth the cost in lives lost. Most samurai she killed likely had families who are just as justified to seek her out for revenge thus perpetuating a cycle of carnage. I really respect the show for not pulling punches on this too. There’s often temptation to make the protagonist seem like a hero, but Mizu clearly is not.

Oh they will definitely adress it!

Where's that line from ? I have never heard of it

@@selenophile5256The Doom Slayer?

Guts from berserk

Kenneth Branagh did incredible movies, believe me, there's even better stuff of him to watch. It's like calling Christopher Lee's voice acting in the last unicorn the highlight of his entire career.

@@juliawacker Oh I know. He's done a lot. I personally just prefer Voice Acting because when it's done well, you get what Kenneth did for this series.

Kenneth Branagh is amazing in this!

One of the few times where a famous actor disappeared into a animated role. Usually its stunt casting.

Thought it was Brendan Gleeson

Oohhh could Mizu be made responsible behind the Great Fire of London too?

@@furryfury. Wow. Mizu can't catch a break.

@@ryankwon8785 As if that wasn't already a well-established fact by episode 2. 🤣

@@Raiden4019 I will not be surprised if Mizu goes to the Americas.

taking in consideration how season 1 focused only on Fowler, i can see season 2 focusing on Skeffington and season 3 on Routely. Season 2 will probable be focused on London, which makes me wonder if the secondary characters from the first season will still be relevant in some way, or will the series focus on Mizu, Fowler and a new group of characters in London? is also interesting because Mizu will need help to move around, she don't speak the language, she don't know the culture or land, and now fireguns will be a bigger problem. So we have a situation were Fowler become a ally and help her or she need new allies. it will probable see Mizu behavior in a society that is most white people, and where her blue eyes are not what make her different, see how she feel about her "other half" I can easily see Skeffington as a rich businessman that go to japan to build a local structure for his business and once this structure was complete he returned to London. i suspect that Routely will be "the father" the show give to much focus on her blue eyes. so i can see him as the final antagonist in season 3, the question is how they make Japan relevant again, they need Routely going back to japan or something like that, Maybe as a politician trying to start diplomatic talks or something like that?

Well, I got good news for you: There *is* going to be a second season! And from what I read from one article, the husband-and-wife creators are hoping to have four seasons *at minimum!* Granted, I don’t know when the next season will come out or anything like that, nor am I sure what kind of story they’re going to ultimately tell that will need at least four seasons, but it’s exciting nonetheless!

Someone stated that Fowler’s the kind of person who suffered so much and so he decides that everyone else will suffer so he won’t ever feel that way again

The music building up to the line also makes the delivery so much better

That’s one of my favorite moments of hers, along with her grilling of him afterwards.

Fuck it guns

She will use gun

Or maybe use some European weapons

as of now she doesn't even speak english. Fowler gotta give her lessons from the prison on the ship, lol

Fowler did say “That’s your “white” path showing” maybe she’ll start using gun and other Western tactics while loosing her own way on her path of revenge.

Yes I want to know about episode 2, who's the man who can't kill her, I thought we will met him in season 2 and will help her, but too bad, hope season 2 can show who is he

Honestly i saw from an artists that pointed out that her mother could possibly be The Shongun´s Wife aka the Empress from the Ito clan HAS A VERY SHARP AND STRICKING similar facial features to Mizu same for her younger son, wich brings in the real question of, what if her mother was a powerful or important figure? WHAT IF SHE ISNT REALLY DEAD and equally asked for Mizu´s execution and to never show her existance ever came to happen, what if possibly neither of her possible father´s have came to know of her existance until probably a little later and maybe requested to know where are her weabouts to eithe rpossibly hide her or kill her? Fowler specifically said that Mizu´s fake mother aka the maid who was hired to hide her, so its more possible her mother demanded to kill her as an infant while her father probably wasnt aware of her existance until later on.

"Gotta get back, back to Japan Blue Eye Samurai!" Still working on the theme song remix

So did eye . Is gonna be quit weird to see another place with different peaple and places . Jesus I’m chilled up just thinking about it lol 😅

I'd like it is one was a complex and close to sympathetic villain. Did shitty things in his youth and now deeply regrets it. I like moustache twirling cartoonish villains as much as the next man but a bit or moral complexity would be nice.

think about it, great fire of Edo happens only 9 years before the London fire, great chance for symbolism.

I did think about it, but came to the conclusion that mizu being in london(the west in general) for nearly a decade made no sense. And she'd have learnt restraint when it came to fire. But, since I'm not the show's creator your theory may very well happen

I was checking dates out of curiosity. If the timeline lines up to history's and the last episode of this season is in 6th of March 1657 (the date of the Great Edo Fire) and we assume the trip to Britain is going to take around 9-10 months, Mizu might arrive in early-to-mid 1658, the year of of Oliver Cromwell's death and close to the ultimate downfall of Cromwell's protectorate in the middle of 1659. Coincidentally when Oliver Cromwell died there was a gigantic storm/hurricane in England, so that might as well be the climax of next season if they want something to match the fire.

wow now im really hyped whats gonna be s2’s storyline honestly

But lets all not forget Mizu has a duel to finish with Taigen

Admittedly Fowler did also just say that Mizu's mother is dead, but who knows.

@@pokimanefartcompilation He most likely lied in order to keep away those important detail to hide it from her to win him some time in order to stay alive.

@@TheSwanqueenAndTheEldricth perhaps

I'm gonna be stuck on "London..."

As evil as he is, I can’t lie I found myself happy to see him on her boat lol

​@@davidkimpton6775 Fowler is the kinda guy you love to hate. He may be a bastard but he just steals every scene he's in.

It really doesn't help that japanese loved making their houses out of paper.

The whole lousy country's made of paper and balsa wood. Gotta find me a book of matches. -Cotton Hill

That would make sense narratively, but Skeffington could still carry the recessive blue eye gene and have dark eyes. That said, I hope the show, unlike the characters, will be aware of the fact that, outside of extremely rare cases where pure-blooded Asians have blue eyes, in order for Mizu to be born with blue eyes, both of her parents should have the recessive gene. Her mother is most likely also mixed-race

​​@@stellapolaris9511it's super rare for Asians to have blue eyes without any white admixture. Most do not have white in them,; they were not enslaved and mixed like the African Americans & Caribbeans. That's why it's more common to see half blacks with blue eyes then half Asians

@@stellapolaris9511 I feel like there’s gonna be a plot twist where her father ends up being a decent guy and more complex shit happened.

@@DnzjsjdkI really don’t think that’s going to happen. These men all entered Japan with plans of colonization. They knew exactly what they were doing

@@Dnzjsjdkthat would never happen he is literally business partners with colonialists

Good point

Men of culture we met agian😁

you have some fine taste good sir 😊

I wanna be her

I'd be curious of that too. Somehow I have a feeling she won't face the same type of discrimination she did in Japan. (Atleast not as violent or intolerant).

@@DH-jy9tr exactly, probably be a crisis of faith seeing how things are there vs back home. Wonder when Season 2 is coming out btw?

@mikefrassetti737 Same...hopefully this year, but probably not till quite late; if even then.

I was wondering if she'll be looked at for being somewhere that's currently isolating themselves from the world. I feel it would be a better twist if her real father is actually a decent guy and not just another villain to kill.

@@zionleach3001 Right? Definitely would like to see that happen

she killed Violet. he was one of four white men

👁️👄👁️ no, now u got me thinking it

Ey r u reading any fanfics

@@ThelVadlee THERES FANFICS😳

@@dinobiatch2322 I don’t know , I’m too chicken to look rn but I’ll hit u up when I find a good one haha 🤣

What the fuck are you saying

Mizu killed Violet, the first one, before the start of the show

Caricatures? Or reality?

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Caricatures.

@tacebellrehabI’m sure we’ll see how she killed Violet eventually, maybe in a flashback.

He was likely the opium dealer

@@HiIThinkImRealmaybe she got the tinted glasses from him

@@layer_drawz496 Oh, that’s an interesting thought. We never saw how she got them.

@@HiIThinkImReal that is the thing, we already see that, ( ok now maybe i am confused and wrong about that). But Violet was the person in charge of the opio trading, and Mizu kill Violet some point between the end of her married life and the first episode. Violet is normally a female name, and in one of Mizu's nighmare/flashback we see a scene of Mizu killing a blond woman, is very short and quick, we only see the Blond Woman making a surprise face, before she was killed by Mizu. so i know Violet was supose to be a man, that is why Mizu is hunting the white man, because they can be her father, so why kill a white woman? because 1-this woman is the one seeling opio and destroying lifes, she is also in a way responsable for her "mother" selling her out to get money for opio 2-Mizu already decide to kill the 4, she was already there, she probable only find Violet was a woman once she see Violet face to face

… sounds more like you’re insecure to be frank

In a more dark sense I think he gets off in torturing and offing women.....like how he said this keeps on getting better...

Considering he sired enough children that their bodies could positively _litter_ the tunnels leading into his castle, I sincerely doubt that he took no pleasure in bedding women.

what?? at that point he knew she was a girl

NEEEEEEEERD

🤓

They're actually speaking Japanese. Them speaking English is for us, the audience.

@@terenceangelo8714 i wonder why an actor from BELFAST would voice a northern irish accent🤪

@@terenceangelo8714 … unless Mizu can’t speak to anyone in London next season (instead of magically knowing english)…. until then, I’m not buying that logic🤣

CobraKai is hardly the most realistic or accurate to real life fighting either. Sure there's some main character plot armor but what IP besides One Punch Man does not include it? I thought they incorporated more realism than prior samurai/kung fu animes--fighters get winded & tired while guns actually kill. She's the certifiable psychopathic Jason Voorhees of "samurai" & gone "mind over matter" with hate, revenge & anger keeping her body alive & mostly functional. Not the healthiest situation but it makes for an interesting & fun show.

I don’t understand why people complain about stuff like this when the shows goal obviously isn’t to be completely realistic.. I mean a magic meteor fell from the sky and mizu turned it into a sword did you really think the fight sequences would be entirely realistic after that? And they need to show her recovery quickly so the plot doesn’t slow down

@@vi-ys1ul Just my critique. Besides the sword it doesn’t really have a fantasy element to it. But even with fantastical combat (without superpowers), you need to keep it grounded, find the balance. I just think they put her in way too many situations where she was ambushed, stabbed, or guys 5 times her size got a hold of her. It can get to a point where you ruin the villains because they just seem inept rather than threatening. I still really liked the show, but I think a number of combat situations could have been written better.

@@cobrakaiX you don't watch much anime, cartoons, film, or TV do you?

@@shawnvogt888 oh christ here we go. Yes i do why? You like everything you watch? Never thought something could have been done better in a show you like?

I mean it’s accurate. Japan was very isolationist and did not trust foreigners.

@@arandomperson5434 sure but it's the White guy saying it. It seems like a trope of sorts. As in big evil White man trope.

The Japanese people in this show can be evil and terrible as well. Even Mizu is pretty evil. When she gets to Europe trust me when I say there will be good and bad Europeans. The show is too nuanced to fall into “white bad not white good”. It’s a historical drama, everyone is pretty evil compared to modern day morals. The only two morally good characters are Ringo and the sword smith.

@@twistedpaperclip5929 my point isn't that the Japanese are racist to Whites this is yeolde Japan of course they are. My point is that the White character looks at a huge fire killing tens of thousands that was accidental and then says to mizu "that's your White side" it's a bit of a trope.

It was obviously sarcastic and in a mocking way. Fowler is well aware of the Japanese's views on white people, and especially Mizu's own disgust and hatred for her white heritage, so it make sense for Fowler to poke at that side of her.

You are upset that the people from the 17th century were racist?

I guess that part is a little too much but the show was pretty good too

Historically acurate

So you‘re denying history? Are you saying that colonialism was/IS actually good?😂

@@shepardcommander5174 I think their issue was the implication that being white automatically makes you more likely to be callous and selfish.

The West came to Japan, what about this was bullshit? They didn't like another as nations lmao...

Lol NO not when she needed it

Uhhh we must have different definitions of loyal lol. A loyal significant other doesn't turn their back when their partner is in danger. And they most certainly don't get butthurt/threatened when said partner is better than them.

@@errolpletcher9186 Yes ı didnt remember when ı was writing .HE is son of a bitch

​@@errolpletcher9186 Facts, but it just be like that in Feudal Japan, so I was wondering if they were gonna make Mikio the same way.

1. Sold her horse. 2. Called her a monster and pushed her away. 3. Abandoned her when her life was in danger. What a "loyal" husband. 😂
