This episode was truly amazing. There are flashbacks intertwined with the present action, that give a whole new perspective to the harsh battle that Mizu is facing.
Some elements reminded me of the Bride in Kill Bill, of which I'm very fond.
The music elegantly illustrates the beats of the story.
What an emotional rollercoaster neatly packed in a single episode ! A true beauty filled with old school puppets, romance, sadness, sweetness, betrayal, combat, bravery and cowardice. This episode was like a noodle soup where the writer/cook uses only the best ingredients for the broth, noodles and toppings : each bite makes you long for more while being exactly satisfying.
It's rare that I'm afraid to discover the next episodes of a series because I'm enjoying the story so very much.
Blue Eye Samurai is so well written, the action is so visceral, the characters so endearing and true to themselves, that I'm torn between the need to know what is going to happen and the sadness of consuming each episode because it's the last time that I'll be able to discover its beautiful contents for the first time. I guess if Schoppenhauer was alive, he would come up with the accurate german term to express this state of inner turmoil which I feel when finishing an episode and asking myself if I should wait at least 24 hours before watching the next one. Something like Schadenfreudebingewatchoderwarten.
