* ShesAManInJapan: A complicated case -- while a mistranslation in the script led to Hun being portrayed as a female in the English dub, he's not referred to with any gendered pronouns aside from those used collectively with Attila (e.g. "those guys"). The Brazilian dub refers to him with female pronouns, and the European Portuguese dub gives him a traditionally female name.
