Taigen questioning his sexuality: ''Why do I get weak in the knees for a dude who took my topknot?''

when he said "no one gets to kill you but me" that was really sweet ngl

I'm completely fine with Mizu not ending up with anyone romantically, but if she did, Taigen would be the best match i think. He accepts her entirely, and nothing beats a good enemies to lovers story

“No one gets to kill you but m-✋💥” KILLS ME every time 😭😭😭

It's rare that I like romantic relationships in fiction, but dammit do the Enemies to Lovers and "No one gets to kill you but me" tropes REALLY hit my niche right in the bullseye

Blue eye samurai is such a masterpiece

Literally when I first saw (adult) Taigen, the amount of Zuko-coded vibes in was getting off this man were off the charts 😂

I really love that little parallel between Mizu and Taigen wrestling vs Mizu and Mikkio (her late husband) sparring, you can tell that those friendly matches are Mizu's way of courtship and unlike Mikkio who felt threaten by his wife being physically stronger than him, Taigen is clearly attracted to the idea of Mizu being better than him even if he doesn't want to admit it, it really shows that they are made for each other and I really hope they are endgame because Mizu deserves someone who can love her for who she is

I really love the second time they wrestled and Taigen had his little oopsies moment, since it showed that he himself has grown feelings that his body can't deny. It's an attraction born from seeing Mizu throughout the journey and growing out of the prejudice he held against her as a child, and it's a culmination of him truly knowing her for both her charm (steadfast, skillful and decidedly beautiful) and her flaws (her short fuse, cold temper, her lack of honor befitting the traditional samurai). He's definitely one of the most important catalyst for Mizu to finally forge herself into the perfect blade, balanced and appreciated for who she is.

The thing I like about it is that they actually were enemies. So many enemies to lovers tropes skip the enemies part and just pretend for a bit but nobody actually believes it.

Enemies to lovers can be one of the best love stories.

They give off so much Mulan/Shang and Zuko/Katara vibes 🥹🥰😭 the child in me is so happy right now!! always love an enemies to allies to friends to hopefully lovers trope 🫶🏼

This show really captivated me, I’m always nit picking shows and wishing they were better some how, but this show really blew me away. I love the protagonist, she’s everything I want to be, fierce and ferocious. She’s got a ton of flaws and but she’s unapologetic and fearless.

I loved that scene where Mizo pins him down and straddles him sm because it paralleled the one with her ex-husband perfectly! But while her ex felt emasculated and threatened by her skills and romantic/sexual dominance, Taigen got aroused and didn't flip out even in that embarrassing situation with whom he perceives to be another man (and his enemy!)! Glorious! Loved it and I shipped it from that moment on.

Mikio rejected Mizu as a 'devil' after he found out about her swordsmanship skills, so it was a nice contrast to have someone that has learned to truly appreciate her strengths. Mizu and Taigen are truly great foils for each other. I usually don't enjoy shipping characters together in serious shows like this, but this show did it so well that I honestly didn't see it coming... but once it happened, it made perfect sense. It feels natural.

Theres always that pinned down scene where the tension rises tenfold. Always that brief glance at each others lips before their eyes. And the sudden shy away and awkwardness after. Ugh, i love those scenes.

It was giving Shang/Mulan vibes 😂 Except Mizu is far superior with a sword. And I liked how Mizu tells Akemi that she had all that she wanted but still wants trash 🤣🤣🤣

He doesn't know he is a she, no one does except her servant. Great series can't wait for part two.

I absolutely adore Mizu, she reminds me so much of Neytiri. She is raw, feral, fearless, smart, strong and unapologetic.

A lot a show fandoms talk about enemies to lovers, but rarely does a show actually go through with it.

Rather than a mere expression of affection, it's a profound connection of human souls, delving into the comprehension of thoughts. Mizu may not possess the same external charm as Teigen's princess, yet her soul and character exude an inspiration so profound and profound that it transcends mere physical beauty, making it more captivating than appearance alone.

The art style is just superb. The choreography too.

I loved how their relationship actually felt natural in its growth. I can’t wait to see where their relationship goes in another season.

The love story I didn’t know I needed. I hated Taligen so much and now I’m crushing like an adolescent girl. I need season 2. I need them to finish this story…like he said “We’re not done yet.”

I wanted to hate taigen for how he treated mizu at first. But I grew to luv his character n started shipping him with mizu. Their chemistry is undeniable. I'm rooting for them n also I luv how they give Shang n Mulan vibes. Like bro still don't know that's a whole chick yet still caught feeling.

The Virgin Mikio: betrays Mizu after losing to the hottest sparring match ever The Chad Taigen: gets double bricked up after being pinned by Mizu

When the spark between them began to show I was like “OOP??” I didn’t see it coming! But man do I love it, nothing gets me more than a “nobody gets to kill you but me” mutual admiration dynamic💖

Enemies to lovers is the best trope 100% Also I've been loving this show so far the story and animation style is superb

I was a little skeptical about watching this one, but as soon as I started I was mesmerized! There is not a dull moment in this anime.

From the time of calling her a "dog" to acknowledging that she is better than even him. It was captivating to see him gain humility than greatness. From hating to absolutely growing to love Taigen and his character arc in the first season. I'm excited to see what's going to happen next. I'm alright with these two not being in a relationship anytime soon. Their dynamic in the beginning felt like two souls connecting to each other and both growing to respect each other. They are tied together. This is only the beginning of a love story. They are far from over.

I loved the fact that taigen endured so much pain and didn’t eat Mizu out, and I also love it when he says “he deserves better than you”. I think it really shows his deep appreciation and awe that he feels for her, also his feelings for her, that he doesn’t admit to lol.

when i say "enemies to lovers" this is exactly what i mean, good god. the editing was phenomenal and ngl it made my heart beat LOLLL

Just finished watching this on Netflix. Brilliant story, fantastic animation, looking forward to another season! Thanks for this video!

Not only do they both have stubborn souls and are samurai. With great chemistry. But it is just so great and cute that the swords that best suits them are the swords that come from the most disappointing time from the other's life. The meteorite sword that appeared when taigen was about to kill mizu and the broken blade of mizu not only because it was a failure and it broke but also because she essentially armed another victimizer.

Just finished this show i didnt see mizu and taigen relationship as a romance more of a very strong warrior bond. Which is sometimes also a love. This show was vicously satisfying. The adult version of so many shows i love. Cant wait for season 2

Bottom line, the show's amazing. But then they added enemies to lovers and I died of happiness. It's ridiculously phenomenal.

I finished all episodes in one day This is a masterpiece, animation , story everything Can’t wait for the season 2

Ok so now I have to wait for Arcane AND Blue Eye Samurai season 2, it is pure torture

Mizu such a great character, love her ❤

I’m so glad others loved their development too!! I’d hoped to see Taigen learn Mizu’s true gender, but hopefully that’ll come soon in the second season I’m already desperate and hoping for!!!

My honor can still be restored, it’s giving Zuko

Mulan and Shang walked so Taigen and Mizu run

I never saw any romance between them, but the whole "nobody gets to kill you but me" thing was wholesome in its own unique way.

There were many incredible emotional bits in this story, but the one that hit me the most was when at the Fowler lair he was about to kill Taigen and Mizu remembered how she wronged Ringo and Akemi and chose to save what's dear instead of destroying what she abhors. That put tears in my eyes.

This antagonistic Mulan/Shang dynamic is what made me watch the show. And now I’m rewatching this edit after finishing the show.

I’m sorry I’m so late, this is so, amazing. Felt like I watched a whole lifetime in the span of minutes… the characters story, and plot so interesting within the scope of history. Duels, Honor and the patience and skills, “only I get to kill him.” Well, nothings more honorable then friendship… and more so, lovers.

Loved this vid but it's missing the bit where Taigen offers to sacrifice himself to let Mizu use him as a meatshield. Even when he still hates her at this point, he respects her a lot.

Marvel needs to take some lessons. This is how to write a strong female protagonist and there was so much character development throughout

"No one gets to kill you..." *slap* lmao

i am rooting for them and may both be blessed T-T

I feel like this is the series I've been yearning for way before it existed. The animation is breathtaking. The characters seem so interesting, with depth and development. The story seems intriguing! I can't wait to get my homework done so I can watch this over the Christmas break, and I expect it to be a masterpiece!

The way he was looking at his lips and then his beautiful blue eyes!!🥺🥺

"it's your fight so it's mine" 😭❤️

6:21 The slap heard around the world. Laid that man out.

This show was so fucking amazing. 10/10 Me and my boyfriend binged it and were enamoured with it. Really hope it gets picked up again and we get more seasons.

I was really surprised seeing a Samurai story showing bisexual love between the main characters, women's power, and.... so much male nudes (a lot more penises than vaginas). This rarely happens in blood-gore + action-packed stories, which typically put focus on straight male-oriented contents. This display of diversity made me wonder, who directed this show? Couldn't be a straight man right? And bingo, I knew it! The director is called Jane Wu, a very talented woman! A great decision, what a breath of fresh air with such theme.

the rewatchability of this video is insane (or its just my hyperfixation idk)

-Stop this isn't your fight. -It's your fight, so it is mine. Like damn 😳😌🫠

So at this moment (they’re wrestling and Mizu sits on top of taigen as the tension builds) and all the way till the end of season 1, taigen still thinks Mizu is a man 🫢

I love how Taigen later on becomes less of a brat ngl

After watching the show, I come back here almost every day, to watch your little masterpiece. I saw it on my recommended videos, and got curious about these characters. Your video made me watch such an amazing show the way no other trailer could've. Your music choice is amazing. The way you let Mizu and Taigen's story unfold, the progression of their characters, the subltety of some of the scenes that only made sense when you edit them together. I hope you make more for Season 2 eventually. Definitely subscribing! 😊

One of the best Animation stories I have viewed in years, the story line was captivating, the animation was fantastic, the creators should get an Oscar for their achievements. I would say Bravo and a job well done to all those involved in it's production.

What’s really interesting is that Taigen fell for Mizu without knowing that she’s a girl.

9:32 I like Taigen's look so much. He looks at Mizu almost tenderly...

Amazing! What an honor. Thank you for sharing our work and making such an engaging piece.

Этот сериал поистине шедевр!У них такая сильная химия!!!Надеюсь что будет и 2 и 3 и 4 сезон !!!!!

Man, we're gonna need a second season, this show is absolutely AMAZING!

NAH THE WAY SHE SAT DOWN ON TOP OF HIM IS CRAZY

LMAOOOOOOOOO That hair cut she gave him did him so dirty

For me the whole show was a perfect mix of Samurai Jack, Mulan and the Witcher. Different elements from those shows/movie intertwined in one. Oh and i have a crush on Taigen... and Mizu

At first I was hoping for an enemies to lovers between mini and the princess but her ally ship with taigenwas so good. No matter what he had mizus back because of the battle but I think somewhere they became friends also love the interesting feelings of Taligent falling or at the least feeling aroused by mizu who he knew as a man especially after them clarifiying that bisexuality does in fact exist in this world and it’s just an act. Ugh this show is so freaking good and such a gem . Amazing story amazing characters and amazing female characters! Both presented in masculinity, feminists, in betweeen, and neither at all. It just came out but I can’t wait for season 2

Such a great edit, I loved that you inserted the images of what was being narrated at the same time. It really shows their relationship development

Once again your amazing edits will make me watch a new show. Truly beautiful tribute and I already love these two

Thanks to this stunning video, I actually started and binged the show last night 😂 I did stop myself from watching this video through since I knew it was going to be amazing and didnt want to spoil the dynamic for myself. Thank you for this beauty! ❤

They had me at hello when he said, "I am owed my honor" and she said "then TAKE IT!" 🥰 fantastic watch from beginning to end!

The dude gives Zuko vibes

Those eyes are so pretty😮

This show was so good!

Taigen + Mizu will be the Katara + Zuko that we never got

Mizu is AMAZING!

Its been so long since i Bingewatched a show entirely. This did the job. So good

Thanks for this! It helped me to want to see this amazing show that I might have written off otherwise! I literally paused this video to go watch it and came back after binging it! I really hope we get a second season for these two!

Your editing skills are really great and everything is beautiful. It invites me to a fascinating world. Sending hugs and love from Japan.

i get goosebumps all over from this, very romantic in the making...

I can definitely see these two end up together. Known each other since childhood, started off as enemies, growing close as friends...until love finally sneaks up on them. And now...they can't see their lives without each other in it.

"Are they lovers?" "Worse"

I still remembered from the first trailer that she gave him a massive bold spot😭

Ppl are forgetting!!!! - tiagen saw most fight the four fangs he know how strong most is and still didn’t kill her when she fainted his face faltered!! - they have an argument but he admires how skilled she is and he’s upset about it because he’s still an asshole. - when they go to the tea meet up ( trap) he tells mizu : use my BODY as a shield. He went all this way to find mizu and chose to sacrifice himself for mizu!!! - after they work together they compliment each other ( he enjoys mizu company but is too stubborn to admit it or realize just how much he likes it) - when he wakes up he’s mad but wondering how mizu thought he was horable and fit to have her ( FIRST SWORD EVER MADE ) and her letter!!!! - Taigen get brutally TORTURED and doesn’t say ONE thing about mizu even the smallest thing!!. He stayed shut and mentioned mizu deserves better. ( this is when i started seeing him differently bc i hated him) - Mizu was wearing his scarf the whole time this means she stole it when she hit him unconscious and wanted to remember him before she went on her suicidal mission. She fines him and he acts as anANCHOR for her since drug poisoning it’s making her falter. - mizu conquers some serious stretch carrying them both up the wall and doesn’t let him slip through her fingers. - when taigen is back in the village he drops a rock and is seen reliving his awful actions/ inexcusable. I think this is when he realizes how much of a dick and entitled prick he’s been all these years. He hated living in the village and wanted other ppl specifically mizu to feel below him.( this does NOT excuse his actions) but when he gets tortured he get every bit of hurt he gave mizu and TAKES it because he feels he deserves it. This is when his character changes, mizu has sparked awareness in him and makes him want to change and be a BETTER MAN. - when mizu blade breaks and she gets shot taigen gets a rush of adrenaline to STILL fight for her even thought he’s on the brink of DEATH. ( ik he wants to be the one who “ kills her” but that’s bullshit and he did this out of pure care). Mizu sees he’s about to get beaten again but she stops the fight completely ( going against everything for taigen) stoping the fight when she’s so close to killing her target, the only thing she’s worked for. But saves taigen and herself. - after she wakes up she looks for him and then asks about his health ( this is when I started seeing her care for him as well) he wakes up and they have some small talk again ( HISTORY ). This is when taigen thanks her for saving his life and mizu says he doesn’t owe her anything. This is SO big bc I think this is when she completely forgives him after seeing how he got tortured. Taigen is also shocked and this picks at his resolve having to hear mizu doesn’t want anything from her bully and “ enemy”. Taigen then does small acts of SERVICE ( a love language) he gives her their home town food and realizes how much he doesn’t want to isolate her anymore !!!!. He then praises mizu and encourages her to follows her mission. Then they have that scenes and it’s the only time in the whole show that PRESENT mizu is GENUINELY HAPPY and giddy. And taigen’s feelings and body betray him as his little friends makes an appearance. This is when I think mizu wanted to tell him no confess to him that she’s a girl….hes the o my person she was willing to tell. ( rings found out/ she never planned for that ) but she doesn’t her wall as are still up and strong as ever and she talks about akemi. - Mizu is watching two men having sexual scenes and she is instantly thinking and reapplying a memory of taigen and her. ( it’s so obvious here/ shes attracted to him and she obviously cares for him since she almost revealed her secret.) but then again she shuts the door and ignore her feelings. -when Mizu is fighting Fowler taigen show up for her AGAIN it’s like this invisible strand that connect them and he’s always willingly there for her. He declares that her fight is his and that he willing to be there. What more evidence do you guys need!! This was for all of the haters because I was a hater also but you also have to think about the culture and time period. Things back then were very very strict and different. Taigen did everything to leave his town and become a samurai / someone of power and he knows having feelings for a man is not a good thing for people to know so as much as he likes mizu hes still a man of “ honor” and tries to make it work with akemi. But that doesn’t end well. So I think he needs to sit with himself and really for for that he wants, which is to be happy and if you have been paying attention to this show you can remember when mizu talked at the tea meeting about how she doesn’t care about power or money. Neither does taigen anymore. Mizu says she doesn’t care about happiness but that’s because it’s been stripped form her and she’s scared to get hurt again. I think they have helped each other in a lot of ways and now that they both have grown into adult and have grown with each other I think they are great for each other. Mizu makes him question everything and himself and makes him want to be better without her doing anything. He sees how great she is and it just makes himself want to change. Taigen challenges her and shows her you can always find love again and people who truly care about you. She’s always been alone but he’s very stubborn in not doing that. Okay I’m down I could go one but nobody will read it then. Classic Shang and mulan!!!!

This was such an epic story, I binged this whole serie in 2 days. Loved it. These 2 had amazing developement.

Just when I think every possible great story has already been told...there comes this ❤

Thank you so much! I just finished binging the series and needed this so badly....Great editing!

6:19 THAT SLAP WAS PERSONAL 😭😭✋

Amazing edit and this is also amazing I hope the second season comes out

I loved it when Mizsu pushed Tiagen away during her and the giant fight in episode 6 (I'm sure that was the episode) she's quite hot as a samurai but the animation on the fighting was top notch and it's best show Netflix has green-lit since Big Mouth (sorry controversial subject I know as I'm obsessed with that show)

I find it hilarious that Taigen lost his hair of honour because he didn't treated Mizu with respect and honour, but after he realized that Mizu is just a skilled person with a kind heart his bald spot disappeared. Nice journey to show how he developed

Habe gestern die gesamte Staffel und heute die gesamte Staffel nochmal gesehen, sie ist Episch.❤❤❤❤ Das Video ist wunderschön zusammengestellt. Die beiden sind ein Traum und ich hoffe sie kommen am Ende doch zusammen ❤Würde es ihnen beiden Wünschen, denn sie haben dann nach einem langen steinigen Weg ihr Glück verdient. ❤❤❤ Hoffe wir bekommen in 2. STAFFEL mehr von den beiden zu sehen❤ Wenn denn eine geplant ist. Wäre schade😢 Dieses Video ist wunderschön. Vielen Dank !

I like Taigen because he is the stereotypical dumb strong man, but he is very honorable and good, there is some beauty in that. And I just like her, because... I don't know, is she?? She is a strong and cold woman, what more can I ask for?

"nothing comes from being a samurai but death" that hits hard, kinda as if nothing comes from a toxic relationship but trauma kinda shit, that hit hard..

Wow this is insane i love the series itself TQSM for uploading only their scenes i love them so much and i wouln't mind if they become a lovers/couple if they have another season in mind ❤❤❤

Ngl at first the animation looked odd but it now reminds me of a painting in a way. I love Mizu’s character the beginning, middle and ending.
