Whoever you ship Mizu with, it is ultimately gay as fuck.

Mizu and Akemi? That's just two angry wlw's haunted by the image of one another who have been pushed into different but mirroring paths that will one day intertwine, and their anger and regret will balloon into a terrifying clash. Violent? Yes. Passionate? Extremely. Sexual Tension? Nuclear-level.

Mizu and Taigen? Mizu didn't really mind the other acts of sex in Madame Kaji's brothel until she got to the dudes fuckin, and her immediate thought was how close Taigen and his lips were during their tumble in their duel. It's very clear Mizu sees her relationship with Taigen as homoerotic, and has shown some interest in it. That's just trans masc x bottom bi, baby.

Mizu, Taigen and Akemi?

So. Fucking. G A Y.

There ain't no cis-het reading of Blue Eye Samurai, bucko. This shit's the purest crystal queer in the market. It ain't cloudy. It ain't distilled.

This show is raw, uncut Mizumphetamine. Mizu is the chemicals injected into the water that's making the freaking fags frogs gay.

Mizu's the baddest bitch around. Be in awe of this undying fuck's energy. She is 2023's top bitch magnet. She doesn't get bitches. She pins them down, strikes the fear of her in them, and wields a fucking sword made to slaughter the heavens.

mizu: ...

taigen: my dad used to beat me up

Taigen is so funny. Like literally he hates Mizu so much. Calls him a dog, wants to kill him for taking his honor and being better than him. But also follows him into certain death and says “hey!!! Hey hey!!! We have a contract!! Only I’M allowed to kill you!!! So I’m going to stay by your side and protect you because we have a DEAL!!!!”

second episode of the series and they start with akemi narrating taigen's imaginary rematch with mizu WHILE LITERALLY HAVING SEX WITH HIM? HER FIRST TIME AND SHE SPENDS IT TALKING ABOUT A DUDE SHE HADN'T EVEN LAID HER EYES ON? AND SHE DESCRIBES THE EYES AND SWORDS IN UNNECCESSARY DETAIL TOO? "HIS EYES LIKE TWO ANGRY WAVES IN A STORM"? "THEY TRY TO SUCK YOU IN"?

AND SHE DOES NOT EVEN FUCKING APPEAR TO ENJOY IT? HER FIRST TIME WITH A DUDE SHE GENUINELY LOVES? WHOM SHE WANTED TO MARRY? NOT A SECOND TO CUDDLE AFTERWARDS?

ALL OF THAT TO TAIGEN SAY NO AND LEAVE HER???????

akemi i'm so sorry. you are so much better than me, i would've kicked taigen in the nuts

[hauntingsofhouses]

the duality of mizu and taigen is what gets me so bad. not duality as in how contrasting they are as individuals. because as i've said before they're both incredibly similar actually; both their flaws are rooted in the way their self-hatred manifests by compelling them to behave cruelly to others. however their personalities and worldviews contrast; mizu is quiet/reserved and individualistic while taigen is loud/dramatic and collectivist.

but here in this specific context, what i'm referring to when i say "duality," is the duality inherent to their relationship and how they relate to one another and have this twisted hate-love with each other.

the way they both confuse love with violence. because violence is the only thing the both of them have ever known.

taigen's obsession to kill her is twisted with his attraction to her. his possessiveness over her death morphs into protectiveness.

mizu's first spark of desire for him ignites when he is actively aggressive, hitting her in her freshly-healed wounds.

they bond over a near-death experience in the chasm. they see themselves in each other through their shared passion for swordsmanship—their shared skill in taking lives. taigen sacrifices himself for her constantly and mizu saves him every time. they hate each other but wordlessly and effortlessly synchronise to fight against common enemies (okiyama the giant; the archers; fowler).

defence and violence; affection and aggression. for these two they might as well be the same thing. and looking at their childhoods you don't have to wonder why. both of them were abused as children. both of them have been fighting tooth-and-nail all their lives. all they've ever known is violence and cruelty, and learning to enact those things themselves so they can pave their way through the world, even if it leaves piles of dead behind them.

they both want softness though. they both want happiness. taigen says as much at the end of the season, and for mizu, it's an integral part of her entire arc of wanting peace, happiness, and love.

and again that's part of the duality i'm getting at. they're well trained killers, but they both just want a life of peace and joy. they're so bad for each other but they're perfect for each other. they hate each other but they love each other. they're an intrinsic part of each other's lives. dare i bring up the concept of a red string of fate? a string they both constantly gnaw on and wish to strangle each other with?

THIS MF GOT NERD NECK SYNDROME 💀💀

[localflesheater]

The face of a man who needs to get fucked in the ass

[messy-skeleton]

I just want to share my thoughts on the switch of places of akemi and taigen

when we see them at first akemi is fighting for their engagement with all she's got because nothing matters beyond being with the man she loves

in contrast taigen is celebrating entering a noble family and increasing his value as a man and a samurai (the reason he got this engagement in the first place)

after the duel with mizu and taigen has his hair cut off the only thing he can think about is what he lost - his honour

meanwhile akemi is trying to convince him it doesn't matter and that them being together is more important (even losing her virginity to him - which was a bold move for the time)

she makes him the center of the whole sexual experience and ignores her shame in the name of their relationship just for him to get up and leave (dick move btw)

jump to the last few episodes

akemi has spent this entire time trying to find him and then se actually ends up finding herself

she discovers how she can rise in the society she lives in and take control of her destiny instead of being passed around from being owned by one man to the other

she's literally gaslight gatekeeper girlboss if it were a person

and taigen has spent this time growing as a person and unlearning his prejudice and pride

he admitted that mizu is better than him, he sees the errors of his way and he just wants akemi back

he realized how much he loves her and just wants to see her again

and then the last confrontation

this all converges on the bridge with the best fukcing exchange ever

taigen says "I don't need to be great I just want to be happy"

that shows how his values changed and how everything he was fighting for is meaningless if he's not happy

if akemi is not in his life

and she answers "I want to be great"

she found herself, she sees the way to make her life matter in a way it never had before

she's finally taking control of her destiny

and then they part ways

that is just so masterfully written and such a tragic love story

I don't think its a love story anymore because they're not the same people they were when they fell

to be honest I don't think taigen actually loved her at first, more like they both loved the idea of each other

taigen saw her as a nice girl that was a ticket to a better life and akemi saw him the same way

I'm just so obsessed with them

blue eye samurai theme moments that go hard

mizu (early show): i don't care about happiness. i only care about revenge.

mizu (season finale): taigen isn't a good man, but he could be a great one.

taigen (to akemi, season finale): i don't want to be great, i just want to be happy.
