Calling all Blue Eye Samurai fans Mizu’s journey of revenge is not over yet. Netflix has given us an official teaser trailer for the second season of the series. Spoiler warning, for anyone who has not seen the series.
For those who don’t know, Blue Eye Samurai is a story that follows a woman named Mizu, a mixed raced swordsman who is on a quest for revenge. She seeks the deaths of four white men who had entered Japan illegally. Born into the world with blue eyes she is mocked and shunned by the people of Japan in the Edo period. One of the men that Mizu intends to kill is her father, the same man that left her with the same blue eyes that her people despise.
In the teaser, we are given a glimpse into the events of what happened at the end of the first season. She had cornered one of the white men known as Abijah Fowler. As she was about to kill him, he decided that in order to save his life he would offer a location to one of the white men that Mizu seeks to kill. Mizu would have to leave Japan and set sail to London. The teaser shows Mizu on a boat during a raging storm and we see that her vendetta towards the white men will not be deterred. Near the end of teaser we see that Mizu has washed ashore but we do not get to see where she has landed because she has been held at sword point by someone unknown.
The cast consists of Maya Erskine (Smurfs, Sacramento), George Takei (Star Trek: Khan, Star Wars: Visions), Masi Oka (Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, Bullet Train), Brenda Song (Running Point, Operation Taco Gary’s), Darren Barnet (Chicago Med, Chicago P.D.), Randall Park (Among Us, The Audacity), Kenneth Branagh (Maverick: The Epic Adventures of David Lean, Atonement), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Junction, NCIS: Los Angeles), Gedde Watanabe (Ultraman: Rising, Kung Fu Panda 4), Patrick Gallagher (The Lincoln Lawyer, Tracker), Eric Bauza (Coyote vs. Acme, Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian), Clyde Kusatsu (A Man on the Inside, Site), and Ming-Na Wen (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Tether).
