Is Mizu from ‘Blue Eye Samurai’ gay?
Blue Eye Samurai may not acquire gotten the hype it deserved when Netflix silently dropped season 1, but now that its popularity is increasing, people acquire questions.
The animated series follows Mizu, an experienced sword-fighter on a bloody quest for revenge. To fulfill her goal, though, she must hide her accurate identity, and most of all, her blue eyes. Naturally, the intriguing premise has gotten many folks talking, and as more and more dive into the story, some questions start arising. One of the most asked, though, pertains to the main character’s sexual orientation.
It’s straightforward to see where this question comes from. Mizu dresses in men’s clothes and portrays herself as one, which in addition to her cold, calculating, and dismissive personality, has led some viewers to wonder if she’s homosexual. While it’s understandable for people to wonder about a character’s sexuality, it’s also important to notice that this is a question based on stereotypes, which could be harmful if we were talking about a real person, instead of a pretend character.

Just wanted to share this:
Reader surprising Mizu by complimenting her eyes, but Thomas O’Mallley words (from The Aristocats, or you might be more familiar with the audio from TikTok):“Why, your eyes are like sapphires sparkling so bright. They make the morning radiant and light.”
Like, Reader sees Mizu’s eyes for the first time and their eyes widen in shock while Mizu just stares. Then Reader says “Your eyes-” and Mizu glares at first, already assuming that Reader will insult her appreciate most people normally would when they see the paint of her eyes, but becomes surprised when Reader finishes with “-are appreciate sapphires so luminous. They make the morning radiant and light.” in an awe tone rather than one of fright.
Note: not sure if Edo Japan know what sapphires look like, but this would be considered fiction anyway.
There should be a name for American shows that are informed by anime style but American tropes. After watching Blue Eye Samurai, I think they should be called “Blue Eye Anime.”
Let’s see, who else do we toss in there? How about Afro Samurai? Yeah, it fits, too. And what about Avatar: The Last Airbender? Or The Legend of Korra?
We can figure this out sometime later. Let me know what you think.
While I didn’t care for the plot of Blue Eye Samurai, it did look superb , and it’s June, Gay Pride Month, and time to talk about gender- and gender-role-bending characters. And whatever else Mizu is … immortal for one, able to metamorphose themself from master swordsmith to master sword fighter for another … they are a gender bender, a transvestite (at least).
The plan of a female donning a man’s clothes and pretending to be a man goes way back, and I do mean way back. History is full of examples of women who dressed as men in order to be allowed to fight for their countries that predate animation, US or Japan. And once you get to the advent of animation, well, Bugs Bunny several times dressed as a woman.
Bugs be hip, but more commonly we see women dressing as men. Sure. Tell me

People in the homosexual community fighting over what Mizu’s pronouns are is the ideal example of how label discourse is dumb.
Mizu is both a man and a chick you freaks, the whole show of being queer is creature something that cannot be defined. By forcing ourselves to only look at gender through rigid labels you are using transphobic logic. If you truly consider gender is a construct then you’ll understand that identity is fluid, always.
Also so ironic considering how often bisexual and genderfluid people are told they’re bewildered because they need to “pick a side” yet this identical rhetoric is being repeated by queer folks over this show.
Mizu is a powerful female protagonist and powerful gay visibility. You are not disparaging either representation by deciding to agree on a set of pronouns. Mizu’s identity, in my notion, is what being queer feels like. To love differently, to hate and be hated differently, a living example of what living life outside of societal expectations looks like. We cherish and hate like him because we are him. There are no wrong answers to who or what she is becau
