What is Opera's gender.

 

[Hekoo]

Iruma is TALLER than me by 1cm and I'm sadly a adult. What's up with that LMAO now I feel super tiny what. :'D

 

[oofed22]

when is irumean will appear again @_@
really waiting for his show time, fr

 

[1meem1]

@cat_of _culture : it's either nonbinary(pronounce seem to be they/them) or it's a hive mine of Opera's and gender is still unknown(either way irrelevant)

@JFkeinK
Irumeanie.

Spoiler

See Chapter 194.

@Nintendude1997
You were right, by the way. The world really wasn’t.

 

[JFkeinK]

@Koni
Thanks for reminding when I had the thought about this.^^

 

[Nintendude1997]

@Koni
It's amazing that you and @sleepii remembered this exchange 2 months ago. It's like the Author herself read the forums to give us exactly what we needed.

Opera got a hold of Iruma's phone just to mess with Kallego. LMAO

Edit: Wait, I thought Opera is a guy for sure. He looks like a guy, he acts like a guy.
Did the author explicitly say something like "Opera could be a girl, or a guy. What do you guys think?" Or something along those lines?

Opera's gender isn't confirmed so technically you can call them whatever you like but in a chapter Iruma asked their gender they asked him to guess he said Female and they walked away
Iruma asked what it was but Opera said whatever you prefer
But everyone refers to Opera by they/them

 

[deleted-user-c8404fe3ca]

@HeyHeyWhat We never really knew, by their body shape most (me included) assume he is a man, but there are many details like they using the neutral pronoun and other little things that made this not be certain.

My sincere opinion... i think the author is just having fun messing with his readers, one way or another just see Opera as you like because i guarantee you the author won't give an answer.

The author is a woman

 

[WalkingTargetPractice]

The fuck is the point of hiding opera's gender? Not like it's ever going to be important.

Opera most likely doesnt identify as one.

 

[WalkingTargetPractice]

Wait a minute, why in the Opera page she is being referred as they?

Opera doesnt have an official gender and most likely doesnt go by any gender pronouns

They're demons, some demons might not have a gender. And if you're wondering howed they reproduce, they're demons.

"Dislikes: being called Alice"
...if you know, you know.

@cat_of _culture : it's either nonbinary(pronounce seem to be they/them) or it's a hive mine of Opera's and gender is still unknown(either way irrelevant)

Opera is explicitly defined as non-binary in one bonus thing that wasn't translated for whatever reason.

 

[Thrembs]

I remembered that the author was a planning or currently making Kalego Gaiden though without specific date of release. There is a possibility that Opera's gender will be revealed there...maybe?
Hope it will be finished soon. There will probably be young Kalego, Balam and Opera

It's been revealed as "IDGAF".

To the people malding over Opera being called Non-Binary: shut the fuck up snowflakes. The author has not made a definitive statement on their gender identity, and people can interoperate that however they want.

The author has stated that Opera is non-binary.
It's in another character bio.
Cope harder.

Most of the time when characters dress like a man but has ambiguous gender, they turn out to be girls, at least in my experience with anime/manga/WN/LN

Not the case this time 🤷‍♀️

totally here for non-binary Opera, even if it’s just a placeholder since we don’t know their gender.

No placeholder. Just doesn't give a fuck.

Why Opera is described as "they" and not him or her?

See above.

I like how Clara and Alice are complementary colors. It really suits them.



Also Opera is not non-binary. That's just dumb. Don't project your own standards onto a fictional character meant to be mysterious by their nature.

Explicitly, officially stated as non-binary.
This is the most wokest manga to ever exist. Why are you here?

opera is a non-binary character confirmed??

Yes.

Opera is not a non-binary character afaik, is just the gender hasn't been revealed, it may be revealed later as part of a joke, or just keep hidden indefinitely as part of the character.

I don't care about the gender stuff (to each their own), but the use of they/their/them, makes the reading of some parts awkward or even confusing (since these have plural forms). Reworking the sentence or addressing the character by name should be a better option I think, and if you ought to default to something, there are other pronouns less prone to confusion like "xe".

Wait, how is a neopronoun LESS confusing?! That's not something most people have ever done (use or read them in context). If the translators did that I'd raise and eyebrow and keep reading, but... Huh?

Ahhh, was hoping for a formal reveal of Opera's gender, but they're leaving it ambiguous, eh? It's Crona all over again!

See above.

I can safely say, after five years, I am in the loop, but thanks for keeping me updated.
