Sorry, I'm frustrated again. I have to write this out.
But let's just like...talk. You and me.
So, Blue Eye Samurai is supposed to be about this strong, undefeatable woman, finding the men who wronged her, struggling with herself and her trauma, and basically becoming a legend, right?
So...tell me, why, we as a fandom decided, that the best person she could end up with, was the guy who told her to kill herself when she was at her lowest, who made her childhood hell, who STILL calls her a dog??
...
Why though? Because he's the only man who was written to be conventionally attractive? So, a jawline is enough to look past clear abuse? Mhm.
"No, bc he changed." ???
The last time they spoke in the first season, (if I remember correctly) ended up with him having a boner, then calling Mizu a demon before storming off.
I don't want to offend people, really, this fandom is lovely but...
I kinda feel like some of y'all only see looks. If Taigen and Ringo would swap roles, I'm sure none of y'all would like the ship anymore.
I'm sorry, really, I'm usually not one to trash ships, but this one is just wrong to me. And the fact that there are clear signs in the show that they wanna make this canon?? Makes me want to drop the whole show.
I know this sounds really dramatic, but this is eating my brain. Like, it genuinely gives me distress when I think about the fact that those two could be canon one day.
Bc I know, the show's creators are a couple. Obvi, they will end up writing a straight couple to win in the end. So this is reason I'm probably not gonna tune in for the second season. I'm afraid shit gets ruined.
(this is also the reason why I've been inactive. kinda lost motivation to write or do work for bes. but i'm on my way to finding motivation and will again.)
(lol.)

My take on Taigen
And his relationship with Mizu
I know that usually I'm not the type to express much opinion on here unless it's about how much I love Mizu, but I feel like I need to get this off my chest.
I truly am a Taizu hater. I usually don't hate ships unless they are problematic in some way, but this one just...irks me.
With Taigen as a character, I have no problem with. He experiences struggles, character growth, and has traits that are likeable to the general public, but when he gets paired with Mizu it really angers me.
Taigen was a big source of suffering for Mizu when she was younger, and I cannot fathom how can people just forget that. But I also know that he had his reasons to do that. He was an average guy with the intention of making it big, so he had to feed the people around him so they could uplift him. Understandable. That's a way someone could make it big.
But we also never heard a proper apology. Should he apologize? No. It wouldn't fit him. He's not someone who apologizes. But to me, without an apology, sexual tention is not enough to see the potential of him being a good partner to Mizu.
He has a similar personality to Mikio, in my opinion at least. He has a big ego, but he becomes very playful when he warms up to someone.
The playfighting they do in that one scene is similar when Mikio rides horses with her while laughing. Taigen and Mizu would end up like Mikio and Mizu did: with a man's wounded ego and Mizu feeling the need to burry a big part of herself.
I feel like from his relationship with Akemi, we could learn a lot from how he would be with a woman. He easily neglects live for the sake of his own ego, and I don't think that would change with Mizu.
Now a couple words on what kind of love Mizu needs:
(In my opinion of course)
She need gentle love, the kind she got from Mama when she was younger. The love she got from Mikio worked for a while, but that's it. She needs to be treated like a child (even if a little bit), because her childhood has been stripped from her. And I think she knows that. She needs her childhood back, but that's not possible because it's already gone. So instead she needs someone who she can protect like she wanted to protect Mama (but failed), and someone who's gentle and caring, and could protect her emotions in return.
Could Taigen do that? No.
Taigen is someone who is needs to be assisted in his dreams. Even if he no longer "wants to be great", he'll still have dreams. He still wants his honor, he still wants that peaceful life he desires to be like how he imagines it. And he needs someone who can assist him, not someone who can build it alongside with him. He's not a team player. The moment he feels like he's dragging someone down, he demands to be left to die, because that's honorable.
I will not start disliking you if you ship Taizu though, I'll just never understand it.
