Was that first glance truly a gay little moment between Mizu and Akemi, or was she actually surprised (maybe even a little jealous?) that femininity could even look like that? Lavish, spoiled, seemingly loved or at least, something to be desired. I think it's pretty sure that she does not grasp how Akemi's life is a prison just as much as hers. That much is clear in their dialogues and her behavior towards her.

What if that dialogue (you, magical forest creature spoiling your good chances at a good life etc etc) was actually lowkey jealousy? of a life she herself would never get to experience as a woman? of being allowed to be a woman AND have a chance at happiness?

#am I crazy?#I don't think Mizu is transmasc #they made it pretty specific in that 'I had to be' answer when she was asked if she WANTED to be a man #(and I'm saying this as a trans person so put down the guns before you reply to this please)#and she likely has a bunch of trauma from her ''mother'' forcing her to grow up as a boy instead of a girl #wondering what her life could've looked like otherwise #I think that resentment towards her blue eyes and white father isn't only about death and grief and all that it could also be #because of how she was stripped of her identity as a girl-woman from day 1 to stay ALIVE #we'll see in the 2nd season probably #someone said in London it'll probably be the first time she's seen as japanese #and I'd go as far as saying #the first time they may not even treat her as a man too #with how often asian men are feminized and disrespected in general around that time period...#Blue Eye Samurai #Mizu BES #Mizu Blue Eye Samurai
