Blue Eye Samurai: regarding Mizu’s “plot armour” or her “ridiculously over-powered” abilities.
“Mizu is way too overpowered, it doesn’t make sense.”
I feel like a lot of people don’t realize just how much the mind over matter mentality plays a roll in Mizu’s “abilities”. Mizu isn’t the best because she’s physically the strongest, or had the best training, or the most experience, or whatever. Mizu is the best because she has single-minded focus and immense tenacity that borders on psychotic due to how intensely dedicated to revenge she has been for almost all of her life. All the years she spent training, all the time she spends taking out enemies, she is being driven by single minded focus and iron willed determination that never wavers. She has been sharpening and honing not just her body, but her mind, for exactly this. She has dedicated her entire life to her quest for vengeance, and in her own words, there is no room in it for anything else.
People also seem to be making a lot of assumptions about what kind of training and how much training Mizu has or has not had. As the audience, we’ve only been shown bits and pieces of Mizu’s past, which includes her experience learning martial arts. Asking shit like “how is she so good with a sword if she’s only self taught?” is like asking “how can she read and write if Master Eiji is blind?”. The answer is that Mizu has obviously learnt these things from more than one source, but documenting her entire education in detail doesn’t exactly serve a purpose to the narrative. We are explicitly shown in one of Mizu’s flashbacks that she’s been practicing with a wooden sparring sword since she was very young. It’s actually her child self that we see in that brief particular flashback. Not her teen/tween self, her child self. She’s also following the movements and instructions of an older man that is clearly a skilled samurai or warrior of some kind based on context (which y’all love to ignore). Besides, who else would want/need a sword from a master sword-maker besides an expert swordsman? How many skilled fighters from all over Japan have come to Master Eiji’s forge hoping for a blade, and wait with nothing better to do but train while their blade is being made? How many of them have divulged information about certain fighting styles (like Shindo-Ryu, which Mizu was familiar with despite never having been to the dojo before). Or practiced around her and with her? We are clearly shown through Mizu’s flashbacks that receiving training from a visiting client has not been unusual for her throughout her apprenticeship with Master Eiji, and her little spar with Blood Soaked Chiaki was no one time event. Yet Mizu is never given the benefit of the doubt by the audience, despite context clues indicating that she should be.

Taigen and food :)
One of the most interesting things mentioned by the creators of BES is how they wanted Mizu and Taigen to be opposites in many aspects, finding in each other what they lack themselves.
This contrast is also reflected in how they enjoy food.
If you rewatch the series closely, you'll notice that Mizu hardly enjoys food. For her, eating is simply a necessity to survive. She always eats quickly, without enjoying the moment or showing any interest.
The only time we learn about her culinary preferences is when Mikio mentions that she likes dried mackerel.
Perhaps in her happier days, Mizu allowed herself to enjoy food more, but it seems to be another pleasure she now denies herself.
This contrasts greatly with Taigen, who has several interactions where it's clear he thoroughly enjoys food:
-In his first appearance as an adult, in the exchange he has with Akemi, he brings her a candy.
-Upon finding out that he is engaged to Akemi, he goes to celebrate at the brothel with his friends, having a grand banquet.
-When he sees Ringo cooking, he shows interest in what he is cooking and even starts to smell the ingredients.
-Later, after spending a few days with Ringo and Mizu, we know he loves Ringo's food so much that he wants to hire him in his kitchens. He happily shares this while eating an onigiri made by Ringo.
-When he meets with Heiji, even in serius situation, he can't resist trying the bean cakes, keeping the tray on his lap.
-When Mizu and he are at the Sword Father's house, he brings her some gyoza to cheer her up, wanting to share something he enjoys with her.
I think Taigen has a lot to learn from Mizu, but this ability to enjoy the little things in life is something Mizu should learn from him.
It's true that Taigen is an idiot, but I find this trait of his quite charming and positive. I believe it brings out the best in him, as he initially judged Mizu for scavenging in his trash for food, but ended up sharing with her his favorite from Kohama.
