Character Discussion How is Yamato's Gender seen by Japanese fans/readers

[ZeroesShadow]

Yamato's gender is discussed but
I'm curious as do Japanese fans see Yamato as "trans" or is she considered a woman there as well and all.
So what's it seen over there?

The biggest questions
What is the one piece?
What is a swordsman?
What is Yamatos gender?

 

[Herrera95]

I would bet on saying she is a woman. That's why she was at women cover bikini.

Japan is traditional conservative country. Although One Piece fans there may be different.

 

[Toryu]

A better question, do Japan even has the pronouns movement?

As I recall that is a something the LGBTQ+ is pushing for.

It's there a LGBTQ+ movement on Japan? I always felt like that the movement was a western thing, I don't recall something like that on Japan, who is still is very conservative.

I’ll ask my Japanese cousin

The fact that she is towering, has a cub and horns isn't so cute

Dont focus on details, her pros heavily outweighs the cons.

How many can say they survived being caged, tortured and a murder attempt by the wsc?

Not many, not to mention living a whole life with explosive cuffs on her wrists.

Despite all that, she still loved her father and only stopped doing so after understanding he was serious about killing her.

Kaido put explosive cuffs on his own daughter and dudes in this forum say that he was going easy on her during rooftop fights with a straight face.

Yamato is always about identity, not gender. Oden, not male/female. Proof: if Oden were to be a female, you know what happens.

Kiku : trans
Izo : crossdress
Hiyori : tomboy
Yamato : larper

 

[SatanKingofHell]

It never felt right to me to refer to Yamato as "She". This has nothing to do with Yamato's gender, but instead of Oden's gender. Yamato is trying to perfectly assimilate into his role as Oden. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to refer to Kozuki Oden as "she".

Up until now I've only been using they/them pronouns to refer to Yamato in discussions, but after this realisation I'm confident Yamato should only be called the he/him pronouns in honor of Oden and his sacrifice.

 

[сука]

Japan is one of the normal countries (for the most part) so I imagine they call her a she.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

I don’t care, because Oda clearly doesn’t.

if Oda wants Yamato to be trans, he would have her go seek out Ivankov actually transition.

However that won’t happen because Oda doesn’t really care about developing Yamato as a character. Rather he just uses her for cheap fanservice.

Yamato’s entire character is based off her literally identifying as Oden.

it makes no sense. Either Yamato is shamelessly LARPing as a dude her father brutally murdered, or she is legitimately mentally ill.

He wanted to emphasize what a great and brave guy oden was but the flashback already was enough
