Of course, there's a difference between jerking it over a corpse and romancing a ghost who has a physical body and can age/eat/probably reproduce.

The difference is consent.

I did say that it still implied semen, so I wasn't completely dismissing it. cool

In Layman's term Yumichika says Giselle has that undeniable smell of Dude, and Yumichika would know the smell of dude being the clean freak among the 11th.

Really the Framing of the scene pretty much says Yumichika is right and Giselle's reaction reinforces that. Kubo has a distinct way he rights women when their femininity is questioned

How many people were confident that Shutara was male because of her name and slightly androgynous face? Exactly.

Remember when we mentioned how the final arc has Kubo bucking traditions left and right, with people losing if they explain their abilities first (among other things)? Kubo choosing Giselle not to freak out like Hiyori is another such a tradition breaker. tongue

Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't suspect that Giselle is male, but an angry face alone shouldn't serve as confirmation until Giselle either addresses it herself or Kubo mentions it in a databook.

The problem is more that there are these things called gender issues that we should be careful about, even for a fictional character.surprised It's pretty obvious that Yumichika guessed right (though the way he guessed it is questionnable), but it also seems pretty obvious that Giselle considers themself a girl, so… until we have further details, it's probably wiser to keep a status quo for now.

I fail to see how thinking Giselle was a male would make people raise fear over their own sexuality. Yumichika may spend alot of time around men and would recognize the scent, but it doesn't always mean it would linger on everyone.

I'll just wait for the offical status (rather its from Giselle or one of her friends, the databooks, etc.). It still seems more like an insult on her for not being stock woman rather than being male or just to bait her into screwing up since she seems to use that as her main ploy

Regardless of whether or not you believe him, Yumichika's comment was portrayed as comedy more than anything else. I doubt Kubo would bust out gender identity issues as something to laugh at.

People expect a very specific kind of gender reveal.

They expect a protagonist to grab a handful of dong and fake boob, not just sit back and go 'you smell like man smell.'

They expect some proactive offensive groping.

By the way, who else is surprised at the FemRitters (including Bambietta) having so much screen time compared to the average Sternritter?

I never said I don't like admitting (hell, Poison is the perfect example that this effect can be subtle as hell). I laugh it off later. I just doubt Giselle (a femenine name) would be male just from an off-comment from a guy who talks about beauty as much as Yumichika does.

[up] I think Kubo just likes their antics enough to keep them around just a bit longer. Better than Gremmy

[up] X10 Which was spilt due to a neutral noun... I'm using Kubo's known framing devices and writing habits. Something he hasn't gotten over.

Baseless Assumption, which you are throwing up as a hypothetical to strengthen your point.

Ironically this would makes sense in hindsight

Giselle constant insensitivity, the fact It acts smitten with Candice and points out Her supposed promiscuity.

Its lack of a developed female form, its outfit strategically hides the cleavage and extends over the hip/groin section when even Lilotto's hips are on display.

Liltotto also lacks a distinct female form. As does Shutara. And Rukia tongue

Again, we can't assume Giselle is male because some other dude said so. Mashiro once said Harribel died, and for the longest time, many people believed her. Take what Yumichika says with a grain of salt.

All the "trap" comments are starting to be grating as it is demeaning to the trans and queer community.

Why Kubo. Why......

And this is coming from a guy who cross-ships Poison and Bridget and has a friend whose leaning towards tran. I'm not the biggest expert but considering Kubo's use of wordplay, its actually one way to keep the jokes he uses so far alive (hell remember Yoruichi and Unohana also speak in terms normally used for males, Yoruichi takes it a step further by sounding like a male in cat form). That and basically trying to troll people into thinking they fell for a trap is really making it more insulting than comical...

Wait... are we the Giselles and you the Yumichika?

Although yes, if Giselle gets confirmed as trans, that could turn the page into a warzone. Tactical mod strikes would be probably needed.

Yeah, I found it comedic. What of it?waii

Anyway, a big part of why I keep saying we should wait it out is because of the Flame War that would erupt from it.

Now, here's a better topic. Why is Bambietta still in possession of her bombs if she was killed? Yhwach is supposed to get those bombs if she really has died.

[up][up][up][up] That would make sense I suppose. Notice how most of the killed Stern Ritter were oblitherated (Mask, As Nodt, Royd) or left to be slithered apart (Cang Du, possibly BG 9). I guess unless they were completely killed and or oblitherated the power returns to Yhwach. My other geuss is that because her body is still there, it may inhabit it somehow or split to where it may not be as powerful.

Or Yhwach just got half of it or something. It will probably be revealed next chapter.

Also everyone, stop with the hate/jokes about trans people.
