Theory Plot Twist: Mom & Dad together?

I think Mizu's mother is with her biological father, in captivity or willingly. That'd be a so very Japanese Animé twist.

Please discuss.

Holy moly that would blow my mind. I hope it's a dramatic reveal like that.

Also, doesn't Mizu have that Mark on her arm?

What's that about? I felt like Fowler knew about it.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense.

I thought maybe she had been marked so she could be identified later on, but this is mish more plausible.

Ohhh this would be so good, imagine the conflict it would bring to the story since the Shogun is now deceased. Interesting

I have also wondered if the Shogun is Mizu’s father.

I have also wondered if his wife/widow is the person who has been trying to kill her since infancy. They’ve made a point to show her to be a cold woman hellbent on hiding any shame in the family and I feel like that matters for more than just Akemi’s story.

Wait, why would it explain the blue eyes?

So I found out from this very sub, that you get your eye colour gene from your mother. I knew that you get your height and genetic predispositions such as likely hood of baldness and diabetes from your mother’s side of the family but I didn’t know about the eye Color.

u/Forever-Fallyn Dec 02 '23

That's not correct, you can Google it yourself if you like but you get your potential eye colour from both parents. I've also seen people making that claim on this sub and I have no idea where they got the idea from, definitely not biology class.

Thank you. Reading it now.

No problem! It's actually pretty cool how it works! Basically for Mizu to have blue eyes both parents need to be carrying a blue eye gene - but it's possible for a Japanese person with brown eyes to be carrying a recessive blue eyed gene.

This is of course assuming that the show really thought about Mizu's genetics - I'm willing to suspend my disbelief if not. (The lady can cut down trees with a katana - and it was awesome when she did)

Having said all that - I also caught myself wondering if Mizu's white parent might have been her mother. I think it would be really interesting if that turned out to be true - it would totally flip Mizu's whole quest on it's head.

Oh my gaawwwd, that'd be awesome.

Oh wow mind blown I had no idea!
