The machinations in the Shogun's palace were breathtaking. It was like this isn't Mizu's story anymore. Just turn it over to Azumi and let her wrangle her way through the machiavellian plotting. The plot twist of someone close to her being involved in Fowler's schemes was shocking but somehow not too surprising.
Mizu enters the story like a hurricane and wreaks havoc on Edo. It's bold of the writers to depict their heroine as such a destructive force. Just for her personal sense of vengeance?
We even get more backstory on Fowler, to understand his evil. Doesn't excuse it, but offers context.
I loved the ending, but I'm seeing this series after the renewal for season 2 has already been announced so there's no threat of the series ending on a cliffhanger. They have really opened this story up to becoming truly epic.
I'm getting a feeling that Mizu might discover some rather unexpected things about her true parentage. One thing's for sure, none of the four men she's targeted for death will turn out to be her father. That is way too expected for this series.
This show is all about overturning gender expectations and ironically, Mizu has some gender expectations of her own that might get overturned. And I'll just leave it at that.
