A Living Contradiction

- I’m not the child you once knew.

mizu is a trans man who is wrestling with what it means to be a half-white man when he loathes and fears the white man who created him all while he attempts to find a foothold in the hyper-masculine world of samurai

mizu is a nonbinary biracial person who lives between the lines of society in all possible ways and is at constant war with the conflicting sides of themself and seeks some way to find a sense of being whole

mizu is all of them. mizu is a marginalized person and a fucking badass who a lot of people are going to relate to and see themselves reflected within and while it appears the show is going with the first option I don't think it's wrong for anyone to use the lens of the show to explore their own identity or to feel empowered
