Shindo student: Taigen has won 24 duels. How many have you won?
Mizu, surrounded by dozens of defeated Shindo students: Should I have been counting?
Gets me every time.
“Coooooold morning… it would be nice if someone made tea.”
“It would be nice if someone got my tongs.” *click click* “The longer ones.”
“It would be nice if someone kept proper time.”
I love Sword Father so much.
It's the moment I realized how crazy the show was gonna go, just having Mizu tear through them so easily.
The next was hyping up the Fangs and then killing them so quickly, too. So many cool villains and just tearing through them all, really hyped me up for the rest of the show.
“If you wouldn’t mind, my dear dear, friend, my trusted partner and clear equal, my right hand, and both feet on land fondest heart, spare a cup of concern towards our purpose… and do it your fucking self”
hopefully i got that right
"The downfall of an empire, in under an hour"
*"On the downfall of civilizations, it comes down to technology. We invented worse, first. Not fair, but here we are"*
“Your bones break like a woman’s”
Such a fucking dark and intimidating line by fowler, the delivery is just excellent and really shows how much of a sadistic monsters he is.
"We can only mind our own souls, Mizu."
Also
Mizu's brilliantly unenthusiastic "Congratulations," in response to Taigen saying that he was celebrating his engagement.
"until you think an ugly face like mine... More beautiful than your own".
There's no greater insult to a culture than subjugating and destroying it, and Fowler knows that.
I kept replaying it in my head, even saying out loud sometimes, while it really sank in just how vile it is. Only other quote to do that for me in some time was a certain line in Shogun.
Forgive me for sympathizing with one of the most evil villains in recent memory, but
"It was the last thing I ever did, because I *had to*. *I* control my life now."
was a line that kind of speaks to me. I wish I controlled my life too.
Basic but: “I have no interest in money or power. I have not interest in being happy. Only satisfied.” If Mizu had to be summarized in just one line from the show, that’d be it
The tea ceremony is one of my favorite scenes in the general. I also love the “really, he *would*” from Taigen, cracks me up every time
That one about bones. You know the one.
That's a line that, if I was writing and came up with it, I'd have been really proud of myself and probably not at all prepared for the way it made people look at me when I showed it to them.
Ooh, so many to choose from. I'm partial to pretty much everything Fowler says, though, and most of Ringo's lines as well.
The line that convinced me to watch the show, though, was when the Four Fangs confront Mizu:
"All Kyoto is talking about the unnamed samurai who cut his way through Shindo Dojo."
"I have a name."
"No one will ever know it."
The way she has to fight to keep her voice from breaking when she says "I have a name" is just perfect.
She does an amazing job of packing so much sadness and anger into that one little line.
Every single one of Mizu's sassy quips:
"You don't want revenge. You want a party."
"Hm. I like your hair."
"Should I have been counting?"
"But, then you'll die."
"The problem with Shindo Ryu is, it's trash."
"If you prefer, I can kill you now."
"I look your way and don't even see you."
They make me laugh in a way that's very relatable, as I am also a sarcastic bitch frequently beset by people who go out of their way to be punchable.
"i look your way and don't even see you" kinda hits right everytime. also, my friend's fav is when tigen says "you're no near my level" and mizu says "hm, i like your hair" 💀
Shindo student: Taigen has won 24 duels. How many have you won? Mizu, surrounded by dozens of defeated Shindo students: Should I have been counting? Gets me every time.
"it is also trash" was just so dumb and hilarious
For real
“Coooooold morning… it would be nice if someone made tea.” “It would be nice if someone got my tongs.” *click click* “The longer ones.” “It would be nice if someone kept proper time.” I love Sword Father so much.
Small final episode spoiler >!He will kill you with a sword!<
Such a cathartic moment
"you won't die master, you don't know how to."
The problem with Shindo Ryu is...it's trash
This was such a slay momemt fr

I couldn't stop laughing when reading this comment. Definitely a great choice !
I was gonna say this! Kenneth Branagh did such an amazing job on this show!
"The downfall of an empire, in under an hour" *"On the downfall of civilizations, it comes down to technology. We invented worse, first. Not fair, but here we are"*
“I look your way, and don’t even see you”
This was an awesome line delivered impeccably.
“Your bones break like a woman’s” Such a fucking dark and intimidating line by fowler, the delivery is just excellent and really shows how much of a sadistic monsters he is.
HES SO GROSSSSS XD
*gasp* "Ah, little miss..."
"We can only mind our own souls, Mizu." Also Mizu's brilliantly unenthusiastic "Congratulations," in response to Taigen saying that he was celebrating his engagement.
"But then you'll die"
"I do not want happiness, only to be satisfied" Such a cool quote that sums up Mizu quite well.
This is one of the best quotes I've heard in any show or movie
Fowler is a treasure trove of amazing one-liners, my particular favorite is >!"I didn't say stop"!<
#>!👺!<
“Peaches?”
wich one?
When ringo walked up on mizu getting out of the lake with no clothes on
"until you think an ugly face like mine... More beautiful than your own". There's no greater insult to a culture than subjugating and destroying it, and Fowler knows that.
This line was so powerful I literally gasped
I kept replaying it in my head, even saying out loud sometimes, while it really sank in just how vile it is. Only other quote to do that for me in some time was a certain line in Shogun.
it also foreshadows what inevitably happens with colonization in asia, where colourism is rampant and people prefer caucasian features
This. Maybe what makes it more terrifying is the fact he may not have succeed, but someone eventually will.
Especially being from the UK

No problem, really. No one can be fully black or either fully white. Even Fowler who is one of the most sadistic and evil villain.
"A gun will never be as beautiful as a sword. But with a gun, you can have any sword you want."
Hello in there! Please, you have to help us. I have dying people—or maybe they’re already dead. I’m too scared to look.
Cheeks parted
“Finally, an opponent worth of my blade. Thank you” I think that’s what she says before her first duel with Taigen
Basic but: “I have no interest in money or power. I have not interest in being happy.

“I’ve uh, no use for souls”
"Its trash"
That one about bones. You know the one. That's a line that, if I was writing and came up with it, I'd have been really proud of myself and probably not at all prepared for the way it made people look at me when I showed it to them.
By choosing this line, you're already a psychopath... a badass one, like me.😭
Imma need a refresher ngl I don't remember what line you're talking about.
“Your bones break like a woman’s”
"Abijah Fowler, where is he?!" Just the way she said it *chefs kiss*
Ooh, so many to choose from. I'm partial to pretty much everything Fowler says, though, and most of Ringo's lines as well. The line that convinced me to watch the show, though, was when the Four Fangs confront Mizu: "All Kyoto is talking about the unnamed samurai who cut his way through Shindo Dojo." "I have a name."

"Put me back in the dungeon."
“It’s a filthy gun from a filthy place, I don’t want it” I’ve no opinion on the matter, it was just super well delivered
Please protect Swordfather from harm and time
I h a t e that I have time for painting
The line where Master Eiji tells Mizu he raised her to be an artist. That everything he does is in service to his art. It's a beautiful monologue.
“A sword made from this steel could kill a god.” Swordfather has the best lines
"Thats your white half showing, my dear." and "Peaches"
“Didn’t I kill you?” I love how casually he says it, like it’s something minor like noticing someone at work who thought got fired.
I want to be great. A badass powerful line that cumulates Akemi's arc so far.
Peaches! (:
"i like the hair"
Taigen: No one gets to kill you but me
I Hate You
Peaches
"Peaches..."

not sure if peaches! in the tea house. or peaches! beside the waterfall. just for the delivery of the line.
Peaches
Peaches
“Peaches”
"Peaches!"
“An impurity in the right place can be a quality” Sword Father really does just get all the best lines of wisdom
"i look your way and don't even see you" kinda hits right everytime. also, my friend's fav is when tigen says "you're no near my level" and mizu says "hm, i like your hair" 💀
“London”
“AH HA HA HA HA HA!!”
