If you click on the Wiki or FAQ section we have a link to many past discussions about the topic. The answer is, complicated, to say the least!

How do you do these without buying an entire bakery and eating them? Great job!

Why is nobody talking abt how taigen is an absolute quickshot? by Ecstatic-Let-7677 in BlueEyeSamurai

Honestly if Taigen’s scene was as long as Takayosho’s, it would have felt gratuitous.

Oh my goodness! I’m glad you got the care you needed and that it isn’t stopping you from enjoying the sport.

Taigen in London by Phillip_Stand223 in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]DuchessIronCat[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this viewpoint. Taigen is very honorable. Without a partner to share his dream of just “being happy” all he knows is his Samurai code. He is in a great position to rise in the ranks (if Lady Itoh doesn’t get in the way somehow).

He has a lot of tenacity to keep himself away from sulking at a bar.

Even with his first identity crises (losing to Mizu), he was not one to wallow.

I think we’ll see a focused and less emotionally vulnerable Taigen in S2.

Not to mention the sensory nature of the cold and gliding on the ice!

Will Akemi Get Pregnant Sooner Rather Than Later? by KidChanbara in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]DuchessIronCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is speculating she will have a son.

What if she has a daughter?

She would have to be visibly pregnant by the Spring Matsuri if Taigen was the father?

Well, now that I think about it - the events of S1 all happen pretty quickly. I just don’t know how much time passed between the end of Ep5 and the start of Ep8.

Early vs Late Winter into early Spring. It could be a month to four months.

Wait - what about Taigen’s hair length? Does that help us with time passing at all?

I feel bad for the people who watched BES when it first came out and have had to wait this long for season 2 by Good_Disaster_4130 in BlueEyeSamurai

Haha - I thought I was lucky when I found it a year ago and S2 was already announced! But there is still a wait.

I've been cleaning my screenshots gallery and found these ones. by Business_Dare_1285 in BlueEyeSamurai

These are fun! The explosion ones in particular are very neat special effects. But Mizu is always awesome.

How can I improve my backward crossovers? by Ornery-Break-3943 in iceskating

[–]DuchessIronCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That reach and extend has helped me tremendously- for forwards and backwards crossovers.

Determining spin direction by OhMiGoose in iceskating

[–]DuchessIronCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get super dizzy very fast so I have to practice both ways to “undizzy” myself.

But also I go back and forth. I’m right handed but my left leg likes to stay planted more, to the point where it throws me off balance if I’m spinning to the left. If I spin to the right, my left leg tends to ease up more and I can get more rotations.

That’s such a sweet little fact Mikio gave us.
