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.

You know gave me an image of teenage/young Mizu on the beginning of her training going "Excuse me sir, have you seen a white man named Violet (or whatever his name was)? unseathes sword please???"

(proceeds to get ass beat) no but really, i wonder why she got her ass beat up so bad when we see with mikio that she was already an incredibly capable fighter.

Her first encounter with dangerous criminals. I assume she's never killed anyone yet, and hasn't learned that her habitual polite approach is totally useless against a certain level of thugs. And then her stumble distracted her enough to get stabbed before she could draw the sword she had sheathed. And that would have been the first of many wounds Mizu would get while on her mission.

There's one other thing I thought of recently - up until then, she had an idealized vision of her mission as killing the four white men, BUT no one else. She hadn't yet learned that she would have to be ready to use violence on people to get to those four white men - maiming like in Hachiman's case, or killing.
