If Im Not Great Then What Am I

Come on... it's only one drink.

ねえ、一杯だけ

shoutout to taigen for being the most expressive character in the entire show.

you will never not know whatever the hell he is feeling or thinking at the moment because he will literally tell you (either very earnestly like when he traumadumps to mizu or very sarcastically which is the other 99% of the time he talks to mizu) or you will see it plain as day on his face.

this is the textbook definition of a man wearing his heart on his sleeve. look in the dictionary for what a "simple man" means and you will find taigen's face there.

like once you cut through the massive ego and pompousness he uses to mask his own insecurities and traumas, he is literally just some guy. he's not evil or stupid. not super kind or super smart either. an asshole but not the worst there is. he's incredibly skilled but he's not the strongest ever or even the most skilled. he is literally! just a guy!

y'all can hate him all you want but let's be real, taigen is actually the most relatable character out of everyone. like this man is POOR, he is PATHETIC, he is COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME, and most of all he is OBSESSED WITH MIZU. if that shit ain't relatable idk what is.

post-revenge arc, mizu and ringo living in a cabin near the town. since she is 'available' for a duel to the death, taigen challenges her again and mizu accepts as she promised. problem is, they can't settle on a date and keep delaying it for stupidest reasons .d

ringo is going to try a new soba recipe for dinner and of course he'll need both sides' opinions. what if mizu's opinion is biased? they can't trust taigen's pricky ass too.

mizu said if taigen will come here and linger everyday, he better be useful and talk less. so he collects woods, helps mizu for training, chops onions for ringo (which ended up being a mini-duel between him and mizu because ringo deserves the best chopped onions from the best samurai). but taigen is not stupid, he isn't going to fall for mizu's 'make taigen exhausted-slash him easily' plan. it won't be a fair fight. taigen has to rest and mizu should help him, she is responsible after all.

as the weather gets warmer, rumors of a big festival spread. ringo is so excited, talks non-stop about how much him and his master will have fun but taigen doesn't agree. he bets joining a festival with mizu is like carrying a heavy rock around while you are trying to enjoy your trip. mizu isn't obsessed with honour unlike taigen but she can't let that slide too. she will show him that she knows how to have fun, even more than him. they'll kill each other after the festival then.

(spoiler: they won't)
