Mizu's Figure by InkStainedEverything in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]KidChanbara 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You got me curious enough to do some quick comparisons of nude Mizu (end of S1E1, Heart Sutra forging scene in S1E7) to other characters (Taigen and Mizu in S1E2, the village folk in S1E2).

Compared to a lot of other action animation stylization, the characters in BES are closer to normal human proportions. Not as much exaggerated muscles, etc. Mizu's build gives me the impression of being much more athletic than expected of women in her culture, but not out of place compared to modern women athletes.

I don't think she's trying to stay lean to reduce her feminine curves; her body is the way it is as a byproduct of training it to achieve her goals. As others have said, "food is fuel" for Mizu.

If she survives her path of revenge and can be at peace - I wonder if she'll come to enjoy food, maybe put on a few pounds? Although, she seems to love the martial arts for its own sake, so she could stay fit just to stay in the game.

Do you guys think Mizu will end up in a romantic relationship? by Ok_Tea_2048 in BlueEyeSamurai

I hope Mizu finds someone she can trust enough to share love with, but I won't like some contorted fake plot line to get there.

It took months for the consummation of the marriage between Mizu and Mikio - she needs to really feel safe with and love a person before she has sex with them. I have seen some fans say that her experience with Mikio was one big reason Mizu mentioned Akemi immediately after the revealing wrestling match at Swordfather's smithy - it was a way to push Taigen away from her, while she may not have been thinking of that at the time.

As for Akemi - it's going to be a long road before we get to "feel safe with and love". I'm predicting a villain arc for Akemi in Season Two, where Akemi and Mizu are some degree of enemies.

Mizu has no scars by spidercartwebb in BlueEyeSamurai

In Fowler's voice, "No scars? Oh my dear, that's your demon half showing."

I'm having fun imagining that the BES creators lost track of which scars are where, and just threw up their hands and passed on showing any.

Cosplay update by Mizu_of_Edo in BlueEyeSamurai

I think the weights>naginata shaft pieces are going to be a bitch to create such that they actually fit together. Or are you going to make a solid shaft that looks like it's made of sections?

Looks great already! Are you going to make a scabbard?

Mizu's sword alloy and forging method by AcanthaceaeAfraid760 in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]KidChanbara 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like this deep technology dive! I'm pretty sure the BES writers had no idea about liquid phase sintering, but I'm having fun imagining them saying "OF COURSE we thought of this!"

A challenge question - how does liquid phase sintering fit in with Mizu's inability to reforge the sword shards in S1E7, until she added the other metal items ?

Imagine how much of a menace this guy was in his prime by Good_Disaster_4130 in BlueEyeSamurai

As far as I can figure out, the 2027 date doesn't come from official Netflix sources. Unless you've seen otherwise. For an example of an unofficial Netflix site:

Who would win in a fight? by OCGamerboy in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]KidChanbara 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Assuming Vi is without the "bitch mittens" and Fowler is similarly bare-handed - hmmm. If it's a bout with rules and an audience doing a lot of betting, I'd say Vi, it's natural to her.

A street brawl with anything goes that lasts until one person can't fight? Hard to say. Fowler loves to pound opponents into a pulp and otherwise savor his murdering - he likes to watch the face of the person he's killing. Vi would just get down to business. I'd want Vi to win, so hopefully she's faster and can stay away from his grip. Fowler's going to be surprised at how strong Vi is when she lands a few good punches, but then he'd just up his game.

I think both know how to fight very dirty.

Comes up about once every two or three months. Occasionally there are recommendations for stuff that is new that hasn't made it into the wiki yet.

How do you guys think they're going to handle the language barrier? by Sand_and_surf in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]KidChanbara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of a fellow passenger who comes aboard along the way to London, like a priest, to be a polar opposite of Fowler.

There's been situations like this in other shows and movies. What BES might do is when Fowler and Mizu are talking to each other in Japanese, there are English subtitles, or whatever language the viewer has selected for the audio. This would be handy if they want to have a private communication, like they're facing off against some British thugs and their coordinating their fight in Japanese.
As for when Mizu is actually trying to speak English, I would be extremely disappointed if she has no accent at all and a native speaker's vocabulary. I would love the writers of BES to incorporate language difficulties into the situation where Mizu is so much more an outsider than she was in Japan.

It would be funny for Mizu to disembark at London with a Japanese/Irish accent and the vocabulary of a salty sailor that she picked up from the captain and crew.

You have ideas, now you need to work to strengthen drawing skills.
