Blue Eye Samurai 1x2 FULL LENGTH Reaction | An Unexpected Element

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Honor in America is abstract, we're a young multi-cultural country. For a Samurai it's strict and defined by tradition and the Bushido code. It's very hard for a peasant to be a samurai as lineage is very important and Taigen isn't just a good samurai; he's a master. When Mizu beat him she took his honor; when she cut off his topknot (a symbol of status that peasants can't wear) she literally and metamorphically reduced him to a peasant. Akemi was delusional that they could still get married and Taigen knew he needed to regain his honor. No way would her father let her marry a commoner who had no wealth or lineage and was now disgraced. He had to get his honor back for her, his job, and future. Long-winded I know, but all this to say it's a very complex topic that the writers appear to be very informed about. imo they're doing a great job defining the motivations that characters from that time period would have. One of the many reasons I love this show. btw, you mentioned how cool the symbols were on the backs of the 4 Fangs - that's a crest or mon. Usually it's a family symbol, in their case it might be their master's mon.

I definitely thought that Mizu meeting the Four Fangs would be closer to the end of the season.....

Really late to the conversation, but I didn't see anyone answer your question about the smithing process. Back in my younger days, I thought of traveling to Japan to apprentice to a sword maker. Then I learned that being Korean would uh...be problematic...with the more traditional Japanese swordsmiths, but I still remember some things from doing my study and research. But...aaaanyway, hah. Yes, when the sword is quenched, a clay mixture is applied to the steel at different thicknesses that varies the rate of cooling. Because the clay is thicker along the spine, the steel cools more slowly, which causes the spine to contract more than the edge, giving it that distinctive curve. (This also makes the steel harder along the spine and relatively softer along the edge.) Also, the border formed by the two thicknesses of clay is called the "hamon", and the patterns were distinct to each swordsmith/school. The more complicated the pattern, the more advanced the smith, and the creation of the hamon is considered an art form itself.
