These two are GAY. They are PARTNERS. They are MARRIED. They decided to team up just so they could make it EVERYONE’S problem. No I do not take criticism.

The scene were Abijah Fowler reveals where he's hidden his guns & kills several dudes for show while telling Heiji the tale of how he nearly starved to death once & had to eat his sister's kidneys was so fucking intense man. Everything is clicking into place Fowler is truly in control of everything, even though he's the guy who isn't at home, the guy who only comes out once a year in the open, the guy who should be in every way overpowered. But he just fucking shoots the guy he suspects was stealing from them and just, like, gives Heiji his soldiers while (I think) subtly threatening him. You can't trick him. And Heiji is just like "oh god not only does this guy drink milk from cows but he's also a fucking cannibal what did I get myself into".

Mizu's attempt at English frills and gentlemanly courtesy

"Only a master could make that cut"

I've seen a few people on Reddit and Youtube talk about how Fowler was supposedly hyped up as a master swordsman and were thus either disappointed by Mizu and Fowler's fight in episode 8 OR they felt it didn't fit Fowler and that he was made OP. Starkly different assessments.

Personally, every scene of or discussing Fowler (namely how Madame Kaji speaks of him) points towards his main assets (combat wise) being strength and brutality.

I personally think Mizu's assumption that only a Master could make that cut makes sense for how Mizu learnt swordplay - namely by practicing what she observed masters of various schools perform for Master Eiji as part of their sword being forged appropriately for how they'd use it. Taigen somewhat challenges Mizu's idea that skill matters most in combat (since her skill and wit is proven effective more often than not) by overpowering Mizu despite using Shindo Ryu (trash technique). Showing that strength can be as important as skill in turning the tide.

The Giant reinforces the power of strength and Mizu's difficulty outperforming it in combat. This is then reinforced by Taigen's comment about The Giant not needing a weapon to kill her (which The Giant almost does in episode 6).

Plus, the Tea Party fight showcases ways Fowler can (and then does) overpower Mizu. Including a chokehold, and even breaking her bones in the same hold as Fowler.

Mizu is literally and figuratively bringing a knife to a gun fight. Fowler doesn't need to have mastered the sword, as Mizu has, to beat Mizu.

Basically, I don't think Mizu's comment about the flower is enough to assume Fowler is a master swordsman. Given that we see him before Mizu does, we see what he is actually like and capable of. That cut was made cleanly because Fowler is both strong and precise. A practiced sadist with two decades of experimentation to hone any method of injury he pleases, not a swordsman.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good Blue Eye Samurai is at avoiding cliches? I 100% - no, 1000% expected Fowler to find out Mizu is a woman through the classic expedient of him ripping her clothes and exposing her breasts - especially since this show doesn’t shy away from nudity. Instead, he pointed out how “his” bones break like a woman’s, and that line was so unexpected and powerful because of course Fowler would know something about women’s bones and the way they break. He’s been doing that for the past 10 years

This show, guys. This show.
