#netflix #samurai #anime Blue Eye Samurai is an Canadian-American adult animated action streaming television series created and written by husband and wife team Michael Green and Amber Noizumi.
Fun Fact: Mizu was attacked and hit with a hallucinogenic substance shortly before this scene, and so she's basically tripping balls this entire fight.
I love how despite Mizu being a total badass, the show goes out of it's way to remind us that she is still a human being as she gets her ass kicked a lot.
@@Delibean21 They already did that with Castlevania, The Dragon Prince, Hilda, Blood of Zeus, and Arcane. Blue Eye Samurai is just another great addition.
I don't listen to Metallica but I remember the song from watching Zombieland a lot, and when I heard the instrumental in the beginning of this episode I was like "no fucking way they're playing For Whom The Bell Tolls".
The writers really blew a big fat load on this miniboss fight. I love it. You don't have to reinvent the wheel in originality. Just do the well trodden path thing and do it right.
As someone who went to pharmacy school, I'll say, this flower doesn't really exist, or at least not quite like it's depicted in the show. There are plenty of flowers with hallucinogenic effects, but generally, you would need to drink a tea made with them to get such effects. Theoretically, a ground up root powder could maybe work in the manner shown, but the person would have to inhale right as it was blown at them. Even then, the dose would vary wildly, depending on how much was inhaled and the individual potency of each root used. The closest thing in real life would be various types of Datura plants, also commonly called Angel's Trumpet, Devil's Trumpet, Thorneapple, and Jimsonweed. If you're interested in learning more, just search/wiki that term "Datura" or "Tropane Alkaloids".
@@dark2023-1lovesoni Thanks because I originally wondered if the flower was based on a real flower that indicated another form of illegal trade Abijah Fowler had or if the flower in the episode was entirely representative of what Mizu saw at that time of the episode.
In response to the first reply here, I would like to theorize that maybe it is a mixture of drugs? I'm not a pharmacist, but I would like to ask if that will work?
Conceptual Problem is: Mizu would be dead as soon as she gets catched by this giant or Fouler. I get it, they prob didnt have the budget to turn this into Quality fight- choreographies like Naruto Shippuden or Kill Bill. I liked the Series very much - just this detail annoys me
Well, every protagonist in every action movie/series in history would be dead at least ten times over if we went with 100% realism. But then, it would be boring.
if we were going with realism the show would have ended at episode one after her fingers got bitten off by that one monk who she thought she could throw by the jaw.
I agree. It doesn’t matter who you are. You can’t take on a group of samurai on your own, doesn’t matter who you are how long you trained for, you’re dead. But realism was thrown out the window long ago
I mean you can find relatevely realistic fights scenes in some movies (which does not necessarily mean better scenes), but then you're citing Naruto and Kill Bill ? The action in these ten times as outlandish as Blue Eye Samurai !
