Violet's death & Mizu's self-hatred.
I don't know if someone already noticed or analyzed this before, but I'm going to talk about it anyway.
As we know, Mizu killed one white "man" before the current events of the show.
It was first mentioned in episode 3, in the meeting with Heiji Shindo.
Mizu confidently says that currently there are 3 white men in Japan, which implies that she was already able to get to one of them.
So from that moment on we are sure she got to kill and get her revenge on one white man, but we don't know anything about how she was able to find them and who they were yet.
This changes at the end of episode 6 though.
When Mizu finally gets to face Fowler in the castle where he was hiding.
After Fowler takes over Mizu, he mentions a certain "Violet", to be precise, he states that "something happened to old Violet" and "was that you?â is the question he asks right after since he understands how dedicated Mizu is to her revenge.
(little note: in other languages Fowler refers to Violet with the âshe/herâ pronouns)
Thanks to that we know that the white "man" Mizu killed might be a woman, an old white woman named Violet.
Let's go back to episode 2, before the Four Fangs get to Mizu, she has a strange âvisionâ of her killing her older self, well at least thatâs what I thought at first due to the missing information.
That, in fact, is not a âvisionâ but a flashback.
A flashback to when Mizu killed Violet.
What we can see is Mizu breaking through what seems to be a house, approaching an old woman sitting on a couch.
Now, the question is, why does she have Mizuâs face?
The answer is quite easy:Â Mizuâs self-hatred.
Mizu repudiates her white âhalfâ, so deeply that she feels a strong desire to eradicate it from herself.
That leads Mizu to subconsciously switch Violetâs face with her own. As if part of her âimpureâ blood gets purified whenever she takes away the life of a white man she swore to get revenge on, because theyâre actually the ones who made her, in everyoneâs and, as a consequence, even in her own eyes, a monster.
Lastly I want to add that this is just MY theory, what I stated might not be totally correct. (if you think differently Iâd love to see your theory in the comments, Iâm curious to know what do you think of the âflashback/visionâ Mizu had)
Okay soo, this was all. I honestly canât wait to know more of Mizuâs past in season 2.
