The only time she was truly freaking happy in the series
I know this scene killed me. The one time she was open and vulnerable ughhh
@@quietmoodmusicthis honestly made me happy that I binge watch sheraseven
I hope Mizu finds happiness again 🥲
I wouldn't say only time. She was happy with that old blacksmith.
@@winterspirit3734I wouldn’t say she was “happy” during her time with Master Eiji either. While she was glad to have a mentor who cared for her, her childhood/adolescence was still filled with vengeance. The entire time she lived with him, she learned swordmaking and swordfighting for the sole purpose of enacting her revenge.
Revenge, because whoever her white father is, he is responsible for r@ping her mother, he is responsible for tainting her “pure” Japanese blood, he is responsible for the fire that killed her mother, he is responsible for her bullying and her inability to fit in and have a place in society.
While not in active danger or distress during her time with Master Eiji, that’s still not a child that I’d consider to be happy.
She was happy, for like five minutes.
Two minutes
Prob lasted longer in bed
two minutes
it's a bit strange on the man's part. He seemed to really like her and not judge her on her mixed race and then all of a sudden turned on her just because she beat him
@@schlechtgut8349 se asusto por su fuerza y habilidad para matar, adema que en esa epoca el machismo era demasiado, no soporto la idea de que su esposa le ganara en una pelea y que casi lo mate jsjsj
This guy only loves mizu if she is still the gentle, obedient wife . When her true fondness and talent is revealed, because he's a jerk and maybe the social gap between men and women at that time, willing to BETRAY and put her on bounty. Truly feel sorry for mizu to love a man like that😢
Yeah it was terrible but true to historical life. I think Tengu would have an easier time embracing her for who she is. It’ll take him a while to get over the fact that Mizu ain’t a man tho 😂
We do not know if that was him or her mother who sold her to the system.
@@HuanLeVuong I think both of them did it, but too shameless to confess.
Haha from bromance to romance 🤭@@quietmoodmusic
I mean shes also a criminal so there is that. Shes brutally beaten and maimed many innocent people on her quest for revenge lol.
They could’ve been such a power couple if he wasn’t butt hurt about losing to her
They would have been theee power couple but his insecurities got the best of him
FRR
I dont think he was insecure
For one, he had to know she
Was a good fighter & was
Quite capable also flip
The genders & you would
See things in a different
Light, the man would
Come off as unihinged
& brutal i think the guy
Just saw something
In her he didnt like
& he was right.
@@elongatedmanforever1252I don't think Misu is "unhinged," exactly. She just wants a sparring partner. An equal. She thought her husband was up to that challenge, and she was wrong.
@@elongatedmanforever1252She’s not “unhinged,” she enjoys sparring! She knew he could defend himself. She wasn’t trying to hurt him at all. She lightly poked at his insecurity, sure, but he had told her that he no longer desired the title, he just wanted to have a happy life with her. If he actually loved and TRUSTED HER, he wouldn’t have called her a monster like that. He would’ve at least tried to talk to her if he felt she took things to far with the open blades. I just think his ego was wounded, and didn’t like that she wasn’t acting like most women of that time period, and it caught him off guard. If he didn’t want to see it, he shouldn’t have asked.
Also, as a woman myself, if the genders were flipped, and me and my husband were play sparring, and we were both skilled at sword fighting, I would think that’s sexy, ngl.
Bro fumbled the most crucial bag in his life.
And died for it. Skill issue
Mizu was happy as a wife. She married a respectful man who never force himself on her. He waited for her to open up and like him. Mizu tried so hard to become a wife and he appreciated it.
It's just sad that he betrayed her.
No doubt this is one of the best episode of the series. It only shows another side of Mizu that we never would have thought. It caught me off guard. Never thought I'll find her so feminine. Having a man as a husband and doing things as a wife.
Dang girl! My Mizu! 🤣
I'm still skeptical if he was really the one who sold her out. TBQH, her adoptive mom seemed like the more obvious suspect, especially since she needed money to feed her opium addiction.
@@anubis19801it was definitely her "mom." Remember what Fowler said? The whole reason their hut was burnt down when Mizu was a kid was because her "mom" already sold her out once.
I mean, I definitely thought that the adoptive mom/maid burned the hut herself, maybe due to her negligence with the opium pipe.
You need to light the opium pipe, so let’s say she lights the pipe, falls asleep, since opium has relaxant qualities, and she burns the hut down?
After that, and probably because the money she received for taking care of Mizu ran out, she just left her there to suffer
The sad thing is, we will never know if he really betrayed her or if he only succumbed to fear and ran away because of it.
it's a bit strange on the man's part. He seemed to really like her and not judge her on her mixed race and then all of a sudden turned on her just because she beat him
Best episode! The way the story unfolds, at first Miku was the ronin of the puppet story.. midway through she starts to become the bride which ended up being the ronin again. The way this episode was directed is story telling genius!
Yes.. more man than most that walk through madam Kajis doors..
@@shaokhan4421 Well yeah. She had to be like that or she would have been dead a long time ago.
@THeHeadNinjainComics
" Well yeah. She had to be like that or she would have been dead a long time ago"
Like a man hating woman with fantasy of daddy issues
Thats not a great way to start
No, I think she's still the Bride in the end. The Bride who became an Onryo after she was betrayed.
@@ferhog7705yeah she is the bride, however they do want you to think she’s the ronin and he’s the wife for a moment
Like many people in the comments, this was undoubtedly my favorite episode. We all assumed that Mizu had been pursuing her revenge since she was a child, but here……she had a chance……she had a chance for a normal life……she could have been happy……but it all came crashing down around her. Like all great tragic revenge stories (John Wick, Oldboy, Etc.) we all know the hero only has one destination……
She could of still did that, if she
Didnt give up everything to
Nhilism.
im pretty sure that was a dream sequence. her drifting off into a "what could have been if things were different" daydream to cope with the stress of being hurt and also fighting...basically a whole army of soldiers. she single handedly killed more than half of them all by herself...or so I remember. I dont think this actually happened in her life. her mother did die in that fire. and there was nothing mizu could have done about it
@@_.Max.i.mus._finish the series!
@@shaokhan4421 I did? im sure im not wrong...u tell me I guess
@@_.Max.i.mus._ yes, that's exactly how I see it; a "what if" episode. I'm surprised to see many people think that this actually happened in her life. We saw child!Mizu standing in front of her supposed-mother's grave so she couldn't have been with the same woman as an adult. Plus, the ep was told in a parallel manner to the play. For me, it was meant to show how Mizu will never be truly happy because of her revenge. Her revenge follows her, swallows her whole. She can choose to settle down, but deep down she knows that's impossible because at the end of the day, her revenge is what keeps her moving. She is and will always be the ronin.
God this scene wrecks me. It's the first time she's trusting and showing someone else who she truly is, and he completely rejects her and calls her a monster.
It also makes the later scene with Taigen so much more impactful - when they're playfully sparring/wrestling at the Swordmaster's house, and Taigen VERY obviously being attracted to Mizu in that moment - without even being aware she's not a man. She's not yet showing him completely who she is, but he's at least seemingly ready to accept that part of her that her once "husband" so brutally rejected.
It's really sad
There is however a big difference between her sparring with her husband and playfighting with Taigen.
Her husband never consented to sparring with their weapons unsheathed and the risk that entails. She unsheathed her weapon first and in the end held a sharp blade to his throat. This whole interaction seemed to excite her and she kissed him, but to him the violence and threat of injury or death did not seem exciting. Imagine if the roles were reversed. We would probably consider it very reasonable for Mizu to be very upset at having a sharp blade held to her throat by her husband without her consent. This does not justify her husband betraying her, though we will never know if it truly was him or her "mother".
The playfight with Taigen on the other hand was just that, playing. No sharp weapons, no risk of injury or death. Of course the whole interaction ended up being a lot more positive because of it.
@@masterfreeman117 oh we know he betrayed her. He saw her surrounded by men wanting to hurt her and turned his back on her only to come back AFTER she had saved herself.
That's betrayal enough.
He is a coward.
You're talking about threats of violence as if he wasn't a samurai that was used to seeing knives and blood. He just couldn't handle seeing his wife like that. That is all. You cannot tell me he actually thought she'd hurt him. Why would she? He was the only one at the time that knew her complete truth. She opened up to him completely because he asked her to.
@@ceciliai.ogwude2845 He either betrayed her by selling her out or he succumbed to fear by running away. If it is the latter then perhaps he did come back with the intention of helping her, but he was simply too late.
We as the audience will never know.
He asked her to spar with him, but he also asked her to stop and she refused and unsheathed her blade.
Do you really think that full contact sparring with sharp blades without body armor is not very risky?
It does not matter if no one actually wants to hurt the other in such a scenario, there is still a serious risk.
There is a reason that real life practitioners of Sword Fighting almost never fight unarmored and with sharp swords. Usually they wear protection and their swords are dulled or made of wood.
Him calling her a monster was wrong and running away instead of helping Mizu was also the wrong choice.
However, I have the strong feeling that if we had a scene where for example Taigen and Mizu sparred and Mizu told Taigen to stop, Taigen refused and in the end he somehow managed hold a sharp blade to her throat (I am saying somehow because we all know that Mizu is better with the sword than Taigen) and Mizu becomes angry and says something extremely hurtful because of it, then we would all agree that at least some of the blame lies with Taigen.
it's a bit strange on the man's part. He seemed to really like her and not judge her on her mixed race and then all of a sudden turned on her just because she beat him
This was the best episode of the season. I wont spoil it but the way they were able to tell 3 tales that was both entertaining and pivotal to understanding her character. Fantastic
It was actually three tales. The beginning puppet show, Miezu's past flashbacks, and the fight she was having in present day.
@@Kyjohnson1500 OH yeah you right. That makes it even more impressive!!
The whole parallels between 3 stories was amazing
A three plan: past, present and the theatrical elaboration, all at once
it's a bit strange on the man's part. He seemed to really like her and not judge her on her mixed race and then all of a sudden turned on her just because she beat him
0:37 idk about mikio but this ENTIRE fight sequence alone wouldve made me fold so hard😩his loss man
Totally. A shame really.
I would have been inside of her with that sword against my neck, and she would have been pregnant about 3 seconds later.
If a woman holding a sword to your neck can make you "fold" then buddy you have birds for brains
@@MayArif-hv1cgidk man, it was kinda hot
@@johnoparinde2682 them birds be chirping, flying, pinching worms and dancing
I think he cared for her, but his pride was stronger than his love. He couldn't stand it that she was better then him, stronger than him. His manhood was threatened when she showed that she could easily beat his ass, so he walked away. Mizu deserved better.
She's water. He's not even stone.
Very valid reason for him not to. The relationship wouldn't last.
She shouldn’t have said he has no backbone for a situation where he lost everything he had lol. Funny how all the comments just interpret it as fragile male ego, completely discounting the stuff she said before beating him and purposely trying to humiliate him.
@@dogestranding5047
She was shit talking him like any sparring buddy would. She was treating him as an equal, rather than holding back to protect his male pride. When she realized he is actually skilled, she stopped holding back and used provocative language to get him to fight her for real. Him getting provoked to fight back is not where his male ego got the best of him. The part where he sucks is when he lost and acted like a sore loser afterwards.
@@mugen3603Precisely said!
This was one of the few times she genuinely had fun. She thought someone was finally able to accept the "whole" her.
I’ll honestly fall in love with a woman like her.
Good for you. But it wasnt like that at that time, or at least it wasnt the rule
It was so refreshing seeing her actually, genuinely happy. Even more surprising that she didn't actually mind being a wife.
I knew it would end horribly because, well, we never see her husband in the show, but damn. I expected him to get killed or something, but the betrayal was wayyy more brutal.
Can't wait for season 2
I went in this series with no context, just a clip of Mizu and Taigen, my dad wanted to watch it too since he loves samurai movies and it was such a pleasant surprise. The story and the art, stunning. By the end my mom had joined and was at the edge of her seat. Let's hope for the rest seasons!
So happy to read your comment. Im amazed to see parents enjoying animated series.
You're brave! I would feel very awkward watching with parents during explicit sex scenes. It was too much for me alone, even tho Im an adult :'D
Episode 2 must have been a strange experience
what about the sex scenes? hello
@@qweraws6829 as an artist i've had to draw thousands of naked ppl, there was a silence the first time ngl but then i thought it would only be weird if i made it weird and then ended up cracking jokes with both of them about it
“You Are A Monster”
COWAAAAAAAAAAARD. She belongs in Valhalla. IN THE HALLS OF ODIN. Cause She’s a TRUE WARRIOR.
What is supposed to be a playful duel became nearly fatal when Mizu unsheathed her sword. She literally put the blade on his neck. I love the scene because it is vague as to what Mizio actually thought of Mizu when he said "monster." Either she went too far with the duel or his pride is hurt because he lost to a woman.
@@ryankwon8785 So predictable. That Coward. Even though he ASKED to see this side of her
@@ryankwon8785 Me personally... I think it's a mixture of both. But I do lean further to the "She went too far" category.
@@TheHeadNinjainComics I don’t think Mizio betrayed Mitzu because he left to get his sword and he literally put his sword down in an attempt to calm her down. A betrayer would have watched the event afar and get out of dodge after Mizu killed all the soldiers.
A true Valkyrie indeed
No doubt the best episode of the series , the way those bunraku puppets bought the story to life is just amazing plus the synchronizing narrative recitation.......give us season 2 already
This series is soo awesome! I was glued to each episode...the theme though was very adult also, but the dialog was excellent!! Tho i have one episode left. I hope "The Blue Eye Samurai" survives, i need a season 2!! Thanks Netflix
Man this the only time we get to see Mizu Happy for once and ofc like all things good it getaway ruined by something evil
I know right PAIN
Yep it was always someone
Else not her own doing
Tells me whats to come
In the future.
He was insecure and she emasculated him.. she will meet someone better
@@shaokhan4421
He sensed darkness in her
It wasnt insecurity, he knew
She was good with a sword.
He wanted to tame her like those wild horses. He was afraid since he couldn't do that.
Episode 5 of Blue Eye is hands down some of the best television cinema that I've seen in a long while. Everything about it was perfect; from the pacing, the storytelling, the choreography. Three different tales woven flawlessly into one within a 40 minute time span. What a masterclass.
This episode is, imo, was the best in the entire series. Not was the animation and action choreography stellar, but it also worked wonderfully as a exposition episode. It showed that Mizu is not the cold, bloodthirsty beast everyone thinks she is. Rather, she was a woman that, above anything else, wanted to be loved. Not just for the gentle, demure wife/daughter everyone WANTED her to be, but for ALL of her, her blue eyes and warrior spirit included. Neither her husband or her mother could love her for who she was, and that opened a gaping wound in her so deep it never fully healed. A gaping wound Mizu convinced herself could only be filled with the blood of her enemies. No wonder she adopted the persona of a monster. If you’re told all your life that you’re a demon, than that’s what you’re going to be, unless you make the choice to be something more. Im glad she made that choice by the end of the show. 10/10 series, can’t wait for season 2!
I cringed when he pushed her away after she was so happy. He could’ve learned a lot from her
Same. He fumbled it big time.
I would have taken her last name after this. Anyone talks shit can answer to her.
he a fool for that. Mizu is heaven sent.
Woman put a naked blade to her husband's throat in a spar. Yes, he shouldn't have continued after she threw him the sword, but who wouldn't be scared and angry after almost dying to a horny woman.
He did nothing wrong, unless yall have a problem with consensual engagements.
I am Japanese. Sorry for the poor English.
Historically, Japan had many female samurai.
There was a woman who played an active role in protecting her lord on the battlefield.
Tomoe Gozen, which served Yoshinaka Kiso during the Heian period, is especially famous.
During the Warring States period, there were examples of women samurai corps fighting on the battlefield.
In the Edo period, samurai women protected themselves and their masters.
It is common sense to carry a small knife. The main weapon used by women is the naginata.
Women of samurai families always practiced the naginata.
In the samurai family
The husband is the master of his wife. Therefore, a wife has a duty to protect her husband.
The master of MIzu is Mikio, and the husband discovers that he has a strong wife.
Mikio should be happy.
But Mikio was angry.
I think it was because the way her practiced was disrespectful.
This is fascinating - thank you for the info 😊Your English is great, by the way!
Thank you for the history lesson. And you're English is fine. I know it's tough being bilingual sometimes. But keep it up😊
She was so beautiful and graceful when fighting! I'd just stare in awe with my mouth open, no wonder Taigen started to question his sexuality a bit.
I guess when facing something great, you realize your own scope. And he couldn't take it.
I think we can all agree that this is the worst fumbling of the baddest lady ever.
Why??
he didn’t deserve her
What was meant to be a playful duel took a dangerously serious turn when Mizu unsheathed her sword, bringing the blade dangerously close to his neck. I find this scene intriguing due to the ambiguity surrounding Mizio's reaction when he referred to Mizu as a "monster." It's unclear whether this was because she had taken the duel too far or whether his pride was wounded by losing to a woman. Additionally, Mizu didn't hold back in delivering an insult to Mizio by suggesting that he had lost his honor as a samurai during the duel. Furthermore, it's worth noting that Mizu betrayed herself, as exemplified by the puppet show where the ronin character, played by Mizu, exhibited a disturbing level of psychosis by murdering his wife and child for perceived betrayal. Mizu's portrayal of both the ronin and the wife in the puppet show may hint at a deeper layer of her character. We also have to notice Mizio did not have his sword with him before he "ran away on his horse" and he appeared when he got the sword after Mizu defeated the soldiers.
I was looking for this type of comment, this show has so many details! in this scene alone a lot is communicated in the subtle facial expressions and as you said, Mizu’s behavior appears as sparring at first but then goes too far and isn’t received well. Did he say they should stop because he saw how intense she was becoming? Or was it because he was afraid of that behavior coming from a woman, his wife? It’s fascinatingly ambiguous.
When she tosses him the sword you can see that he starts fighting back with anger, like maybe he was trying to actually hit her.
He was a jerk for saying what he did but she kinda doesn’t have self restraint here. She was so excited to be herself again that she got a little carried away.
This scene and the Ronin killing his wife and child very nicely foreshadows the character growth later on.
I'd say it's a bit of both.
I believe Mizu didn't meant to belittle him. Unfortunately the life she had basically left her with barely ANY social skills to hold back on saying hurtful things. She grew up being taunted and ridiculed by everyone save Swordfather, and even him had a mischievous (but harmless) edge to him where he constantly poked fun at her. The same goes for her self-restraint; this is the first time she's actually swordfighting after practicing for years, so she wanted to show-off to someone she wanted to consider (and be considered by as) an equal and went a bit overboard. The poor woman only knows two modes: Bullied & Submissive or Killer Mode, with the sparks of warm human being shining in the middle.
Still, his entire reaction was disproportional and pathetic. Whether or not he sold her out, he went and sold the horses in a fit of pique, then ran away when she was in danger.
Very interesting take about Mizu screwing over herself. Ig she needed to know right time right place.
I felt like if she stopped when she got hold of both weapons and he said it was enough, he would have been able to digest what just happened and probably ask her about it later. But then she pulled a low blow on his dignity then pulled a blade to his throat. I'm sure back then putting a blade to someone would have been an equivalent of putting a loaded gun at their head. Then she kissed him right after. I would have been freaked out or scared. Unnerved at the least. Supposed to be loving partners. Would have made me thought, "This girl crazy. "
By the time the Ronin murders the wife and children Mizu is already the dancing Bride in the puppet show. Mizio murders the wife and the child by fleeing when Mizu is in danger and killing her "Mom".
It's so beautifully animated, great voice acting and I really felt for Mizu given she was betrayed by her husband
Yep nothing to do with her actions
Shes the real victim here.
@@elongatedmanforever1252 i mean the show made the fact that she herself is a horrible person pretty clear.
@@trashman8080 She was a on a one-woman revenge against those raped her mother and brough weapons and opium to Japan
@@trashman8080Right In the first episode she leaves mother and child to freeze to death. How messed up is that?

IF she could've stopped after he said "that's enough" they might've had a chance, not saying Mikio was in the right but Mizu is also at fault for not holding back when he was obviously not in the mood to spar with naked blades.
I think he was done as a warrior, honestly. Whatever got him disgraced was enough for him to get sent into the countryside in a nice house, but his lord no longer trusted him at his side. He had no battle spirit left...otherwise he would have charged down that hill when he saw his wife encircled by murderers.
He asked for her to show him what she truly was. She showed him a warrior. Something that he wasn't anymore. And that realization broke him. She essentially cracked his self image in a single moment.
1:31 This little grin makes me sad because Mizu looks so uncharacteristically... innocent. You can *tell* she would never actually hurt Mikio, but the guy just couldn't see it, giving Mizu yet another reason to think being vulnerable/herself is not worth it.
This is an absolute master piece. Its not just the animation but it's just the idea of how colonization and racial hybridization could affect somebody. This ideas are still commonly found in today's society and they imbed the series with the ideas that were true to life. I know its a fiction but I can't deny that there is a sense of reality thay can be found in thr series...
As recently as the Korean War children of American GIs and Korean women were murdered for their parentage.
Incredible story telling in this episode, The ending where she becomes the blue eyed demon (I forget the correct spelling of the name, Onyro? I think?) is just amazing. I also love to see her actually being feminine, as weird as that sounds? She’s just so pretty with her hair down and her makeup.

Of the show.
this scene was one of the absolute best ones in the show, so happy you guys uploaded it to yt so I can rewatch it with ease.
Their love seemed so genuine. Very heartbreaking for it to end in utter disaster.
This is my favorite sequence of the season. It was flawless.
This show is so great at picking up and following it's own themes.. her relationship with her husband is later mirrored and contrasted with taigen. He starts off similar as the husband, calling her a monster for shattering his fragile ego but later admires her for her strength.
Ngl with how Mikio adviced Mizu on the naginata, I expected Mizu to suddenly pull a RWBY and turn her katana into a naginata. And she actually did it. That was such a cool scene.
I am getting Mulan animated movie vibes.
Same
Horny and older Mulan😅
🎯
Except it's Japan 🗾 not China 😅
It's going to be better than mulan
Perhaps the best episode of the season!
Such a wonderful series!
Can't wait for season 2!!!
Both are in the wrong but Mizu to a lesser degree. She poked at this man's insecurity, about his title and status that she knew meant a great deal to him and didn't stop when he asked her to, going as far as to put a blade to his neck, guess she went a bit overboard with her excitement.
He however, shouldn't had called her a monster and then literally went and turn her in like that from just this one event.
They both loved each other and all of this could have been avoided if they had just given each other time to cool off and then talk it out like a real couple. I'm still not sure if the mother is involved with this but Mikio shouldn't have half-assed his way into a shitty final decision like that. But then again this was Edo Japan 😂
I think the mom handed her in cause how else did she get her money for her “medicine” and her husband did seem a little surprised when he saw the guards
Most of the people are empathizing with Mizu. I also agree that she is more morally correct in this situation. BUT I have seen men, who had the gender roles and expectations of society pounded into them. If a woman, who is supposed to be inferior than them, surpasses them, it's considered a great shame. It gives them a massive inferiority complex. Also, as they lived together, he was constantly reminded of that loss. Imagine constantly living with someone who does everything better than you and shows it off without any regards for the feelings of the of the other person.Before long, their minds would be poisoned with bitterness towards their own inability. I think we need to rectify society first, so that men and women are seen as equals. Then men would be able to take the loss just as casually.
@@parijatpathak1849Well he knew who she was. It's sad that Mizu was herself for 5 minutes and he got so butt hurt.
@@Frostbitemlp well don't forget that he was shown holding a sword up seemingly approaching Mizu from behind after she killed the guards. That whole part is intentionally ambiguous as to who betrayed Mizu to show the point in her life where she chose to give up on a happy life as she knew eventually everyone would one day betray her.
Fragile male ego did her in. 😔
This show is so excellent. It is so satisfying when excellent writing undergirds amazing characters and they execute phenomenal action… and then it all looks utterly gorgeous as well.
This was such a great episode the best one of a great series
Everything about this animation is perfectly gorgeous from characters, storyline, and fight scenes. WE all need and want a second season PLEASE!!!
To quote a man of culture “I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass”

Hmm I know they're releasing scenes for promo but I'm glad i avoided this clip. Made the conflict between them more wrenching as i watched it unfold. This episode really had me clenching my chest crawling up my wall and screaming to the void ASEUHGSBBDU. Mizu and Mikio WERE happy together...until walls crumbled and shit went downhill real bad.
Agree, it also remarkable that the show runner / producer understand the nuances between the social status of men and women in 17th century in Japan. She thought she was understood, she thought she could trust the man she loves...Heart breaking....
@@marcuschen2087 tough to watch honestly

She did go too far with a sword.
This is why she belongs with Taigen, someone who can match her energy.
Yes with someone who isn't afraid to say you're then me and not feel bad
I really enjoyed the story telling in this episode! Brilliant work!
This episode is a masterpiece
Well.... We love us a strong woman.
Yes.
I prefer good characters instead.
@@LoKaioh
Wut??
Strong never crossed my mind more like awful
Cuck
My guy fumbled the baddest girl he could ever possibly have.
This episode is truly a masterpiece
This guy has the award for the biggest fumble of all time. Seriously all because he couldn’t handle being with a bad bitch.
For her, it was just a game. For him, it was wrecking everything he is, was, and wanted to be.
I hope they add some backstory of someone training her, because its pretty hard believe you can get that good when no one is teaching you, you're just making it up as you go along.
This show is completely masterpiece and this episode is their head ✨
Important note. After Mizu insulted him, she tossed him HER blade. The blade SHE made, and considered "the soul of a samurai". She was literally giving him her heart and soul in that moment. Symbolically she's seeing if he can handle her, all of her, her blade, her heart and soul. Can he fight with her as an equal? Or will he faulter, unable to handle her blade/her soul. That final kiss was her showing her love and full respect. She saw it as he handled her blade well, and therefore was worthy of her heart and soul. But then he had to be a butt hurt prideful jerk and betray her like that. That look of deviation after he pushed her off was so sad!
Damn!!! I can't wait.
Can’t wait to watch this
Es Oichi.....
Volvió para quedarse.....
La reina 👑 samurai.....
My experience with life love:
1. "I want to know you. Show me who you really are. Be yourself."
2. *Remove some psychological defenses and act naturally. *
3. "You are a [insert separating moniker]."
Opening up to people is dangerous...you might learn something about yourself. And when people open up to you, it's natural to want to reciprocate...but there's no saying they'll like what they learn about themselves any better.
@@dustinjones7458 what's your solution? Should I lie or shut up?
@@coffeebreakhero3743 Wisdom is earned by failure. Growth comes with pain. Love and suffer. Love and suffer.
I mean, in my own perspective, both of them are wrong in some way or another. The Ronin might had been in love with her, but when Mizu showed her true face, he backstabbed her as if all of that are just a mare illusion, instead of convincing her bride to overcome her hatred and selfish behaviour. He literally broke all the trust that Mizu had built upon him. He obviously wrong here and he's more than deserve to get killed.
How about Mizu? Well, I cannot blame her for her hatred. She's the victim of the world that she lived in. But she never let left behind her ego and vengaence even after the fact she already had a peaceful live. She's basically ignoring all the luxury of peaceful and happy live that were given to her for a mare vengeance.
This scene is actually deeper than we thought. In reality, love isn't built just by accepting weaknesses and ugliness of other, but also to move aside the traits that the other part dislike about you and made you unacceptable to him/her. It is how it is. Love can only be built by the equal effort of to sides. It's not only about loving, but also about how to get yourself loved.
She isn't really wrong she might have went a bit too far with unsheathing the blades tho
I mean it's not like she chose to become a peaceful housewife
Training montage begins!
I mean at this point in the series you know its a flashback and thus gonna get shattered at some point but I could not help but hope for her happiness that has to be a credit to how well this series was made
Binged watching this during last weeken... I'd say this episodes 5 is the best of all
We need the second season asap pls
She's got some pretty slick moves, I'll give her that. Awesome animation work.
I honestly can’t decide on who turned in Mizu. However, both her husband and her mother left her for dead and made her think she was a monster. No one can deny that they both betrayed her.
This is the best fight scene i feel it was the only one where she could truly be herself. She was so happy and elegant.
Damn, that was intense. I will admit that she might have gone to far with blade to the throat at the end, but it was incredible nonetheless
This looks really good, beautiful animation.
Its meh.
@@elongatedmanforever1252You really set out to rain on peoples parade dont you? Leaving a negative comment on every post. If this show is sub par to you, then you are in for a world of disappointment
@@angryvigilante9018
I find this show to be style over
Substance & it really isnt
all that great the story is
Like most of woke hollywood
strong invincible female lead
Who is great until the end
& of vourse the villain had
To be a white male who
is irredemable.
I need 15 more season of this show
that ending of the scene hurt me more than I would have expected...
Ready part was fire like jawan saying ready
I’m…Looking forward for this.
This already looks good.
this hits so deep!!!!
Looks awesome
Me personally I would not have it if someone called me a monster 🤣
Even if someone unsheathed their blade and put it on your neck to end the duel with a smiling, excited face.
Lol she just kills him
"Unseath it...show me your blade."
Me fr: *turned on and afraid*
One of the best and saddest episodes.
She was playing with him - the lips were inches close, she was smiling - and that scared him😢
The difference between how this dude reacted to being beaten by mizu compared to how taigen was lmao
This episode was deep and really showed us who Mizu really is and her motivation. It was never about her mother.
Him- "DeMoN"
Me- "HAWT"
Hehe I'm with you 😍😍
1:39 Still a better love story than Twilight.
It isn’t a love story, he called her a monster, because she’s half Japanese.
better my as*
This was worst than Twilight
@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2bl It’s not going to be a love story, it’s a revenge story.
@@rileyduncan3927 No because she kissed him without consent she sexualy assaulted him ... she is gross
@@LoKaioh It didn’t look like Sexually assault to me.
She was too good for him
面白かった！
シーズン2楽しみにしてます！
Mizu is so awesome
HE FUMBLED SO HARD
