  The fact that they were able to improve on the Rock Lee moment by making the weights double up as a weapon change was just amazing.

  I just loved that they avoided that thing where a katana blade cutting bullets in half. Instead, Mizu's sword shatters when she tried to block Abija's gunshot.

  This series deserves so much more popularity. Everything from the characters to the soundtrack was amazing

  So here’s a cool thing; Mizu’s sword is largely made of Iridium, a metal that can be found in meteors, it could probably make a really sharp blade, but it’s brittle and hard to work with.. Which is why Swordfather says her sword broke because it was too pure, and needed ‘New steel’. It was made with too much Iridium and not enough iron to be a truly strong sword.<br><br>There’s a metaphor there I think.

  As an Irish man watching this series, I was impressed by the accurate historical background of Abijah Fowler. Specifically in episode 7 when he talks about the famine linked to the colonial war between Britain and Ireland. Its honesty so refreshing to watch a show with so much research and passion put in to it!

  &quot;he will kill you with a sword&quot; is by far one of my favorite moments in this show...the fact that Taigen&apos;s holding Shindo up by his severed wrist as he kills him too is just 👌

  Mizu’s quick recovery time is absolutely inaccurate BUT…I personally liked to think that her body becomes more than human because of her rage. That sheer force of screaming, seething anger that spikes into a shriek of adrenaline shooting super human strength beyond her already incredible talents. THAT is the demon inside of her, doing inhuman feats that most people only do in a flash of once in a lifetime death threats. The “mom trapped in a burning car” type super strength. But she has nurtured and lived on top of that rage, it has been her subsistence. The initial stabbing that left her crawling towards her mother on the bridge—that was before she tapped into this well of rage. It was after becoming the onryo that she would be able to tap into this simmering hate in her stomach.

  I love Fowler&apos;s monologue while he was assembling a rifle, talking about his childhood &amp; why he is now who he is, and I especially love how he said a gun will never be as beautiful as a sword but with a gun you can take whatever sword you want

  Taigen pulled a Zuko, he just needs to go around screaming HONOORRRR and he&apos;ll finish the transformation (he even got a &quot;scar&quot; out of losing his honor, aka his hair).<br>Oh and he also pulled a blue spirit move, by saving Mizu to then challenge her (bc he&apos;s the only one that gets to kill her lmao)

  What I <b>especially</b> loved about 06 is that it starts out with Mizu ninja-invading the fortress with stealth, and it almost <b>immediately</b> goes wrong and becomes a disaster. <br><br>Also drug monkeys. The prisoner &quot;zombies&quot; and the &quot;demon&quot; boss are because Mizu is hallucinating hard after getting a facefull of Fowler&apos;s experimental pixie dust. <br><br>I felt so bad for that kitchen staff.

  This was already a 100% excellent show and then... episode 5... and Mikio... and the show completely levelled up in such satisfying and devastating and cathartic ways. So hard to express how brilliant and subversive and fully realised this show is. It could have been straight up revenge porn and instead we get this utterly beautiful and tragic and at time uplifting story about people railing against their restrictive &nbsp;social roles and their own flawed emotions. Incredible series.

  One detail to Mizu&apos;s character that I love and often goes overlooked is that the scarf itself (and to a lesser extent the binder she wears) can signify healing, as bandages. On the neck specifically that implies Mizu&apos;s head or mind is disconnected from the rest of her body. In accord with your points about her motivations for revenge, she already considers herself dead and that&apos;s baked into her character design. Only in the instances when her scarf is gone does she acknowledge her own life as something of value, like when she reforges her sword naked or the very end of the last episode.
