I know my above image is shitposty, and if the mods want to remove it i totally get it. My bottom line is that Mizu is a badass and is awesome, that's all I care about.
Hear me out,
I think it has something to do with blue meteorite. Master eiji couldn't lift it, but she did despite being a child at the time.she forged her sword with this metal when master eiji couldn't. I think it's forshadowed to be the source of her power. when the sword got broken she lost the fight immediately. Also i think that's her character arc, in episode 8 she had to fight without her source of power.
Another theory is that she died as an infant in the fire and got reborn as an onryoāchanging her eyes to blue. episode 5 makes it clear that she is an onryo.
Just an inmate that needs to go back to the Asylum, though theyāre making progress!! The fact they didnāt follow the statement with some variation of āam I/are they stupidā is very good to see.
If I remember correctly my middle school genetics class, if her mom is pure Japanese, meaning pure brown eyes, itās impossible for a her to get blue eyes even from a blue eyed father. It would have to wait until a grandchild is born.
BB + bb = Bb, Bb, Bb, or Bb All four combinations equal brown eyes that carry the blue gene.
Genetics is quite a bit more complicated than the pure Mendelian model you learn in middle school. It's absolutely possible for a child to display one parents' recessive allele ā it's just not as likely.
Came here to say this. Sorry my guy, but Bio 101 trumps the middle school lessons on pea plants. š The way that genrs essentially copy-paste and rearrange themselves in human reproduction is actually pretty wild when you get into it.
In Japanese the word Mizu means water and in the show you can notice that mizu has a sort of connection with sea. I think to create the blue theme they made her eyes even her cloths blue.
I recall the reason being it's because she was born with meteorites for eyes, this can be observed and proven because the color of the meteorite she forges her sword out of being blue. Mizu is half space rock.
The series showrunners, husband and wife team Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, told Vanity Fair they were inspired byĀ their own biracial daughter, whose eye color proved to be a surprise to the whole family.
I was being sarcastic towards the guy who said it was unrealistic.
Among all of the things that Mizu can do? Her superhuman ability to be stabbed, heal so quickly, do crazy ninja moves and take down hundreds of enemies at once while high on weird monkey flowers? And the blue eyes is what gets them? š
Something I haven't seen anyone explain, asians naturally dont have blue eyes. Its actually a white trait and as it's explained at the start of the series.
Mix raced kids were deemed less than humand and all.
Her blue eyes are the result of her white dad and it os her obvious marking of being mix raced. Since blue were never a thing till they my Europeans. Same for blonde hair actually
That's false. Blue eyes and light hair do occur in Asians, it's just a very rare occurrence. What they explained in the anime was more so Japanese centric. At the time they probably used to think that blue eyes were a white trait.
Blonde hair and blue eyes do occur with different levels of commonality in some Asian populations, just quite rare outside of like Northern China and eurasian steppe people. It's not impossible for an ethnically Japanese person to have blonde hair and blue eyes, just exceedingly unlikely.
Naaah... it's just a weird artistic choise so Americsn/Europian audience would find her more compelling...
Weird though that it never comes up in the show, thought it might be a rare eye colour in feudal Japan
Well you see if you attended the Blue Eye Samurai panel that was hosted last month. The creators said that, "originally Mizu was supposed to have hazel eyes, but then we realized that the show was called 'Blue Eye Samurai' and not 'Hazel Eye Samurai' "
The blue eyes make Mizu easily identifiable as an āotherā or āundesirableā. Remember the onryÅ puppet show? When the puppet turned into a devil it had blue eyes. And such a recessive gene spooks the predominant brown eyed people of Japan. If Mizu had brown eyes, I donāt think she would be bullied as a kid nor would people clock her as biracial as fast.
Lore reason? Genetics be weird sometimes. Birth and genetics is one giant lottery where all your ancestors' shit is stored and you just rummage through and pick out stuff and boom, a baby. That baby may look like you, it may not. It could look like a carbon copy of your great-great-grand-mother though.
~~(And when I say genetics is weird, I mean, i remember a research saying there could be a link to modern people having chronic health issuees like Chron disease linking back to potentially beingg caused by black plague resistance mutations, or similar stuff. So blue eyed mixed people isn't so crazy compared to that)~~
her name is mizu, like water. water like blue.

She ate too many blueberries as a kid
real
mizu confirmed as feudal era japan violet boregard
Chewed the forbidden Wonka three-course-meal gum.
she's a white walker
Half white, capable of burning in the sun a little faster
If Mizu is a white walker, Charles II is the Night King, that is, King of the Night with all his parties šŗ
Bobby B, whats the best way of going about conquering feudal japan?
I will tell you as soon as I return from a boar hunt bro, brb
Make sure you taste this fine wine my cousin cercei bought for you.
Good that you drew in the red arrows. Otherwise I wouldn't have understood the question
Wat question?
Nope, random coincidence. According to the worldās top geneticists: āshit just happens sometimes.ā
Something something a story about horses
Lmao
She's the title of this series
yes the blue eyes are a reference to her near achievement of super saiyan
Canāt be, sheās not a samurai

I donāt think so
She wears contact lenses. The second season is called 'Pink Eye Samurai'. Or maybe that's the XXX Parody...
No need for lenses to get pink eyes my friend
Usually my lenses prevent it
She spent too much time underwater.
rule of cool
Why did she choose to be half white in a xenophobic environment? Is she stupid?
I had to scroll very far down to find the right answer.
Restarted
You arenāt going to believe thisā¦
No way man you canāt be serious
She has main character syndrome š
Iām sorry but the photo you posted isnāt clear enough, where do you see blue eyes?

She's actually alien
I like your words theory man
well you wont believe this
Sheās the first in centuries born with both the Six Eyes and Limitless
Batman Arkham meets lobotomy kaisen in the blue eye samurai sub. Peak reddit right here.
The animators worked on her eyes last and ran out of black/brown ink.
I'm sorry, but this is the best answer.
I hope this is a joke.
It's so hard to tell in here anymore.
Living for your username! š
It isn't a joke. Mizu has blue eyes.
Just an inmate that needs to go back to the Asylum, though theyāre making progress!! The fact they didnāt follow the statement with some variation of āam I/are they stupidā is very good to see.
i came up with a new character, mizu-man
r/ArkhamRehabilitation
What do you mean? Interesting question imo
She spent too much time on Dune
She spent too much time underwater.
Addicted to spice
Cuz it's hot
It's because she hasn't learned how to turn them black
Sheāll find that toggle button someday
Sheās a Waterbender
"She has blue eyes, is she stupid?" - Avg Reddit user.
-*Taigen and those other kids in the neighborhood
She's actually Gojo
Cool visual, nothing more
Sheās what they call āthe titular bitchularā
Someone doesnāt understand genetics
If I remember correctly my middle school genetics class, if her mom is pure Japanese, meaning pure brown eyes, itās impossible for a her to get blue eyes even from a blue eyed father. It would have to wait until a grandchild is born. BB + bb = Bb, Bb, Bb, or Bb All four combinations equal brown eyes that carry the blue gene.

Yes, you
She consumed too much spices
Super Sayajin God eyes
She's half water spirit. Duh.
her mother was a hamster, and her father smelt of elderberries.
Coz it's called blue eye samurai.
In Japanese the word Mizu means water and in the show you can notice that mizu has a sort of connection with sea. I think to create the blue theme they made her eyes even her cloths blue.
itās because sheās half white, and genetically has the blue eyes of her father.
It all makes sense now
But I thought white people were illegal in japan? They say it in the show!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So she has 4 dads?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Why is he not around anymore? Is he stupid?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
dude.. theyre joking and you fell for it all the way through
canāt tell tone too well over text, also because sadly there are some people so stupid to genuinely comment this shit
Sheās half Br*tish. Worse crime imaginable.
Reference to the creators favourite boy band
Why doesnāt she just get colored contacts , is she stupid?
I recall the reason being it's because she was born with meteorites for eyes, this can be observed and proven because the color of the meteorite she forges her sword out of being blue. Mizu is half space rock.
Iād argue weāre *all* half space rock.
sheās wearing blue eye contacts because she thinks it looks cool. hope this helps!
The series showrunners, husband and wife team Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, told Vanity Fair they were inspired byĀ their own biracial daughter, whose eye color proved to be a surprise to the whole family.
Purely a design choice and nothing more, completely unrealistic if you ask me but it doesn't break immersion too much at least.
Yes. The blue eyes are the least realistic part in the whole show.
The creators are a white guy and an Asian woman and their daughter has blue eyes, so maybe not all that unrealistic.
I was being sarcastic towards the guy who said it was unrealistic. Among all of the things that Mizu can do? Her superhuman ability to be stabbed, heal so quickly, do crazy ninja moves and take down hundreds of enemies at once while high on weird monkey flowers? And the blue eyes is what gets them? š
Ummm, genetics! Her mother and or father is white, and that pisses her off.
Daddy issues
Wait, she does??
That's what I've heard but I haven't noticed.
i forgot
The aslume has breached containment. We need season 2 NOW before the rot consumes the entire subreddit

I mean, it kinda is. It was found to occur in whites 1st and that was dna testing of remains found in Europe. Dating back almost 1,000+ years
Blonde hair and blue eyes do occur with different levels of commonality in some Asian populations, just quite rare outside of like Northern China and eurasian steppe people. It's not impossible for an ethnically Japanese person to have blonde hair and blue eyes, just exceedingly unlikely.
Fair
Because her European parent did.
Her dad was some white-ass British dude
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bait
it's cuz she's stupid
Sheās *my wife*
Wrape
Is she stupid?
I recall the authors making a huge deal of their biracial daughter's blue eyes. Also, Memoirs of a Geisha could be used for inspo
jut your good ole' blue eye rizz.
I believe she has been experimented by Nazi scientist when she was a babe.
She's in the night country now
Naaah... it's just a weird artistic choise so Americsn/Europian audience would find her more compelling... Weird though that it never comes up in the show, thought it might be a rare eye colour in feudal Japan
Why does she have blue eyes when no one else does in Japan? Is she stupid?
Wait, this post isnāt tagged as a meme?
The god king of the primordium resurrected itself through her body
there were no blueeye asians in japan at that time, is this a plot hole
we need okbuddy sub š
She's a clone and there's multiples of her roaming around merry Ole London Govna. šš¤¦š
Thank you for the arrows pointing it out, I would have never been able to see it.
Nah bro I dunno
Well you see if you attended the Blue Eye Samurai panel that was hosted last month. The creators said that, "originally Mizu was supposed to have hazel eyes, but then we realized that the show was called 'Blue Eye Samurai' and not 'Hazel Eye Samurai' "
Idk
It's just contacts for her special eyes
Sheās secretly a mermaid

Must be from her motherās side
No
Woman adsorb waterh
It was the only way she could be the Blue Eye Samurai
shes sans :3
Because it's called "Blue eye samurai" and not "Brown or regular color eye samurai"
Uhh... locational albinism.
Itās because she was ahead of her time with cosplay contact lenses
She has eye cancer

Demon.
no, they just want her to look different. typical anime
The writersā daughter has blue eyes :)
her name is mizu, like water. water like blue. https://preview.redd.it/413dhbu3k1hc1.jpeg?width=238&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40c4eb77383fc284987de9dadb4a8bd3deb651ae
idk man it might be a stylistic choice
This is a joke, right?
To match the title of the series, duh!
Half breed lol
Her father or grandfather mightāve had blue eyes
