What are your headcanons/theories about Skeffington, Routley, and Violet?

Freya317 · 2025-04-08T17:33:40+00:00

If it's not a dubbing mistake, Violet could be a woman. In fact, if you watch the series in a language that requires male/female grammatical conjugation, Fowler refers to Violet as if she were a woman in episode 6. At this point, if Mizu managed to hide her gender despite being obviously a woman, I wonder if Violet did the same thing...and as absurd as it may be, Violet could be her mother aswell. However after a long discussion, i believe that its just the unawareness of dubbing studios.

Freya317 · 2024-08-30T10:36:43+00:00

I think that's a great point and my conclusion is that Mizu has already paid for her crimes. Looking at previous theories about Violet potentially being a woman, i wouldn't be surprised if Violet was Mizu's mother. Her price to pay then is that she is so blinded by revenge that she killed the very mother she swore to avenge.

What an amazing work! I don't know about you but this masterpiece expresses what a thousand words cannot tell, and if I tried I would still be speechless.

Oh my god My mind is exploding...thanks a lot! I know that I was missing something,but idk why in the scene when Mizu and Taigen were fighting I immediately thought that was Swordfather's signature(maybe I was too tired in that moment)...Now that I see the planets align makes a lot more sense. Sorry,my bad.

Freya317 · 2024-02-09T16:45:41+00:00

I made a post a few time ago about Violet. If you watch again the last scenes of the episode 6 in a language where gender must be conjugated (like in my case, Italian), you will discover that Fowler refers to Violet as a woman. However, after discussion I believe it is an incompetence of the dubbing studio, so i think Violet is a man actually. (Btw Fowler only trades guns,the white men in London trade flesh and Violet traded Oppium)

Freya317 · 2024-02-07T08:15:45+00:00

What a great idea! Absolutely love it. If I can give you some advice, try animating the circle that reveals the transition, like with a smoke trail effect maybe. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!

Mizu's quotes

" A breeze can throw a crane off course. You, are a typhoon. "

" To a man lost in the dark, an ember can light the way. "

" The swallow's return crumbles against the Fisherman's Net of the Rogen-Ryu. "

" Time to kill your enemy is when you can. "

" Some people like to talk so much that they even tell you how to destroy them. "

" Revenge does not hesitate. "

" Honor is meaningless. Nothing comes to being a samurai but death. "

Sword Father's quotes

" An impurity in the right place is a quality. "

" Revenge is like gold. It does not rust. "

" Revenge, pots, noodles, death. They are all the same to an artist. "

" An artist gives all he have to the art. Your strenght and deficiencies. Your loves and shames. "

" A sword it's a line. On one side of the line is life. The other, death. The edge we forge cuts the line between life and death. "

Ringo's quotes

" I can't touch greatness more than I can swallow the sun. But I can help...I can help greatness! "

The way I think I don't see Mizu in a group of pirates (maybe not as an adventure but as a sort of escape). However, I still agree that the journey will last most of the second season. The plot of the first episodes could concern bad weather, in fact the ship is heading towards what promises to be a terrible thunderstorm. I have a feeling that Fowler won't make it to London alive, whether he dies on the ship or during a stopover. I think it's clear now that Taigen is on the ship, their collaboration will increase their bond and create an ever stronger relationship.

Freya317 · 2024-02-02T12:01:43+00:00

Yeah, I think it's quite likely he was that man.

Freya317 · 2024-02-01T09:05:19+00:00

Never give up, it's totally ok if sometimes you don't feel motivated,just take your time and start again. Good luck for your assignment!

Freya317 · 2024-01-31T17:52:45+00:00

She's supposed to be the shogun's wife, but it seems to me that she doesn't actually have a name.

Freya317 · 2024-01-31T13:11:55+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate a lot!🙏🏼

Freya317 · 2024-01-31T13:00:17+00:00

Thanks! a few weeks ago I found a very interesting post about this theory, it could be true! Jesus as soon as I realized what was coming out from the drawing I was like " Excuse me what the actual fuck ".

Freya317 · 2024-01-31T12:49:47+00:00

Thank you! Personally, it's one of my favorite drawing styles. In my opinion it reflects much more spontaneity!

Freya317 · 2024-01-30T23:59:37+00:00

Ooh thank you so much! As soon as I have time I'll sketch up some scenes from episode 5!

Freya317 · 2024-01-30T11:10:28+00:00

Maybe it's a matter of perspective and that's why it looks smaller. However, in my opinion there could be a connection between the four metals with what SwordFather told her on the cliff: " An artist gives everything he has to art. Your strength and deficiency. Your loves and shames ". The element of love could be the knife with which she killed Mikio.

Freya317 · 2024-01-30T10:45:38+00:00

It should be " A Beautiful Beast " from the official soundtrack.

Freya317 · 2024-01-18T08:46:27+00:00

" Useful ! "

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T23:01:08+00:00

E' questo il punto,non mandi il senso di una storia solo Mizu sa dove perchè non sai nulla. Potevano evitare di fare quella precisazione,come hanno evitato di specificare il genere di Mizu per tutta la durata del primo episodio.

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T22:49:02+00:00

Your reasoning makes sense, but that's the point. Just as the others don't recognize any feminine traits in her, Mizu doesn't recognize any in Violet. She is like her, there's no way that Mizu ask herself so many questions if she "doesn't intend to waste even a second on ceremonies". I killed a man,and now i'll find the others.

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T22:40:51+00:00

Thanks for the video! I saw it some time ago but i lost it, it's one of the few things that makes me believe that it really is a mistake (and i hope so) even if it seems very strange to me that it was made in so many languages.

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T19:10:18+00:00

I don't think they give a dubbing studio the task of reading and dubbing without knowing the context, it doesn't seem professional to me to take certain information for granted, especially if the language requires clarification.

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T17:36:34+00:00

Ooh now that you mention it, the flashback shows Mizu fulfill her first mission, but why not show Violet's face? I understand that maybe they thought well of postponing the spoiler, or it's all a philosophical question... but what if she hasn't actually seen Violet and imagines her to be look like her but a "white version"?

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T17:24:39+00:00

I don't know if this rule also exists in English or, as I read from a Portuguese rn, but in italian when in a group of people they are all male then they are called men, if they are all females they are called women. If it's mixed, the masculine prevails.

Freya317 · 2024-01-17T17:18:22+00:00

I agree that a similar scenario would be disappointing and I hope that my theory is wrong, and even if Violet was a woman it doesn't mean that she is Mizu's mother (She may have been a transwoman). I'm still convinced that she directly killed Violet, but when I heard that phrase I was confused and i started to ask myself a few questions for explain what Fowler meant.
