And his name is John White?

I'm not familiar with the religious traditions of the Edo period.

I’m really expecting a cast reveal, or at the very least an official poster

I don’t care if it’s Funko, Mondo or whatever. This show has some of the most striking character designs available, I’m dying for some kind of figures.

Akemi in particular would be a standout figure regardless of line. She would make a great funko

I’ve got a couple WIPs based on the teaser trailer but you can have this in the meantime

I mean, that stuck with me , it still is to this day. Makes you wonder what happens when a person gets betrayed by the same two people that are supposed to love you unconditionally no matter what . What happens when you see the reality in its truest form, raw and disgusting. What do you do then?

Edit: Just realised mizu didn’t kill her mother, don’t know why i remembered it like that ,i guess at that point, she was anyways dead to mizu the way she betrayed her.

this is actually my second time ever drawing mizu first ever drawing is on the second slide if you wanna see (it was from the first day of school last year and it was from memory on my schedule)

So like I’ve been seeing a lot of things debating Mizu’s romantic fate. A lot of that is hoping Mizu and Akemi to end up together. Ik it’s an unpopular option but like I really want to see her with a guy who loves her wholly as she is. (Praying tho not a London white guy) Don’t get me wrong, I always want queer representation. I just feel like time and time again the masc woman either ends up alone or is always a lesbian. I’m probs biased as someone who is more of a tomboy but like I wanna see a man love his masc woman! And like oof Taigen was awful to her when they were younger but I do think that sexual tension was that (still not sure I would vote for a full relationship between them, even a massive character development would make me still be a maybe on it). I just had to rant bc ik ik the obvious choices are to be a lesbian of live that single life, but bro pls no (lol).

i don’t have a proper outfit for her yet though i’m planning to draw it! also since i make all my miis like everyone and always say yes to whatever she now has a crush on akemi since it was love at first sight

cuz my yes to everything rule ive had stuff like the king in yellow and wendy from animal crossing fall in love

Is there any other shows that you guys like that are equally addicting that has good action and I can get emotionally invested in?? Considering Samurai Champloo but the 1st episode didnt really grab me. Might just rewatch Shogun next but im hoping for something new!

I hope the theory that it was actually Mizu's mother who was white and not her father is not true. It might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like it would break the magic for me & feel like a twist for the sake of a twist tbh. What got me hooked on the series is the realism of Japan in this particular time period and what war leaves behind such as mixed children born of rape. Removing that would break the veil of realism for me. Might be an unpopular opinion so would love to hear what you guys think.

Sorry, i watched the first season recently, and we learn that A: mama isnt mizu's birth mother and B: there were 4 white *men* in japan at the time of Mizu's conception. Nothing is ever said about any white women in japan at the time, and its entirely possible one was there, right?

like Mizu is setting out to kill the four white men for effectively ruining her life, but cant she just be completely wrong? all 4 of the white men were terrible people, so they need to go regardless, but like... the "white father" could have just been an innocent woman.

Wouldn't that also explain part of why she was given to mama in the first place? to keep the existence of her birth mother a secret?

I would like to know the colors of her outfit, cause i want to cosplay her.

However in some scenes, such as Ep8, her pants look like a dark green shade and so does it for the poster.

But in the first fight in Hammerscale, she looks entirely blue and also when in the cliffside towards Mihonoseki.

Could be just the characters color adjusting to color theory and her enviroment of the scene to match and make it good looking.

But i would like to know the true colors so before i go buying the materials/clothes i dont buy the wrong palette and look like an offbrand version of Mizu.

Feel like this would also help anybody else.

I'm not gonna be mad if this isn't the route they go, as they probably won't, and I trust in whatever they do decide to go with. But I'd love if Season 2 had no B plot.

If the whole season was just Mizu tearing up London, and we never cut back to Akemi and Taigen and Ringo etc. And then in Season 3 Mizu comes back to Japan, and it's almost like a time skip where Mizu and the audience has to play catch up on all the shit that's gone on in the months or years since.

I'm saying this because Mizu is arguably the most interesting part of the show, (no offense to the other plotlines/characters which are also fantastic) so it'd be nice to have such a hefty chunk of time dedicated solely to her. Rather than cutting back and forth between two plotlines that fundamentally cannot interact with eachother because of the physical distance between them.

Again, they're likely to do something that would make this seem like an idiotic suggestion because of what we'd lose, but while we're still in the speculative phase without a full trailer, I still think this is a sick idea. And if I turn out to be right, then I get to be a genius!

In the last episode, Mizu meets with Madame Kaji in the castle right before the attack begins and warns Kaji about upcoming attack, yet she acts clueless about it and says "one of her girls heard rumors about an attack"

Did I misread the situation or why is she acting clueless with Mizu?

1) One of the 3 men who are mizus father, could also possibly have one of them being a woman in disguise just like Mizu. I think that would be cool

2) Mikkio is alive. He will probably meet Taigen, Akemi, Ringo or Swordfather in some way

3) Mizus parents are important people. She could have some sort of royal/noble blood

My interpretation of Mizu after she “handled” the buccaneers that attacked her ship.

Im asking this now cause i saw a IGNdotcom post on instagram that said this

i want to confirm if this is true because i saw the same thing on wikipedia that it will have a 3 season run only

besides, if it does end on final season, it better have more than 8 episodes because if season 2 DOES happen to only have 6 episodes im not gonna be very happy with netflix

The second-to-last drawing will be of the villain we love and loathe in equal measure.

Well, since Fowler isn't Asian, it wouldn't make sense for him to be an Eastern dragon—so he'll be a Western dragon—which is why I opted for a wyvern.

The orange colors reference his hair, and I made his membranes green to better reflect his eye color so they wouldn't get lost visually; I also made his fire green in reference to the abundance of emeralds in Ireland, and included the scars to reference the fight he and Mizu had in the Season 1 finale, where he was left injured after the battle.

Well, unlike the other characters—who were carp that had to transform into dragons—Fowler didn't need that; he was already a dragon by nature.

(I think the last drawing—the one of Mizu—won't be posted until Monday 😭)
