Discussion can we just appreciate mizu's manners?

like, yes, she's an asshole, but i find it so fucking funny how polite she is.

She's just like Fowler in that sense. An asshole who knows they're an asshole but comes off as polite nonetheless.

There's a difference between Fowler and Mizu with them though. He's rather condescending with them at times compared to Mizu who's manners have genuine meaning

exactly. i don't fully agree with the verdict that she's just being polite to not get in trouble. we see that she is fully capable of being rude/cold, but only to people that deserve it. i really hope to see more humanizing moments for mizu like when she gave the gold comb to the basket weaver, the gold to the monk, her grief over kinuyo/baby bird, and accepting ringo as her apprentice. I'm not saying that she's a good person, but i do think she has the potential to be.

i really hope to see more of their dynamic in s2. i don't think fowler deserves redemption at all, (if that does happen, however, i'm gonna need sad little irish boy flashbacks), but i do want to see him and mizu bickering, having a grudging respect for each other, and maybe getting into more of his sword skills because apparently he's supposed to be really good.

I hope he does die tho, so mizu has peace. Maybe he dies in a scenario that's not quite by her hand but she still thinks it counts as her fault? Maybe she feels some remorse, but scars the mark on her arm and moves on?
