Hi guys! Please give this project some love! :D
You can find more about it here too!
Anime Gender Ratio of Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Male Characters: 168 (roughly)
Female Characters: 42 (including even the minor ones)
That’s what? One to four? Every female character therefore has a harem. Except they don’t. Because five are married, seven if we include mothers who didn’t marry the fathers of their children - and for four of them we never SEE that husband.
42 - 7 = 35.
Which brings us to, roughly, one to five. Bigger harems, right? Wrong. One of the female characters is five years old, and another is ten, maybe twelve… when we hit the Ten Years Later Arc. Let’s not move into pedo territory. Another female character is kinda-sorta in a serious defacto relationship (and due to a curse, they’re both ‘babies’ and can’t do a damn thing with it). A fourth is in a completely dependent relationship, or she literally dies (poor Chrome, missing vital organs), but he only has to commit his mist powers.
31.
We’re still in the roughly one-to-five area though…Now factor in that, actually, SEVENTEEN of these females seem to be manga exclusive, and at least ten of those are (possibly deliberately) badly drawn and likely only exist for a couple of chapters as VERY minor characters.
14.
One female to twelve. Shot up, didn’t it? I admit that I’m rounding, because there are some husbands/brothers/grandpas among all the men, but being old or a sibling to one of the girls doesn’t take a guy out of the running for the others.
Of the fourteen remaining, there are still 3 that are 'game only’.
11.
Three are definitive enemies, and three are acceptable but side-lined characters that aren’t explored much, and two are, I’m pretty sure, actually cyborgs and not really human at all…
11 - 8 = 3
That’s right people!
THREE!
Three romantically unattached female characters (that are over five years old) that actually get something approaching as much screen-time as the guys, that have their characters even vaguely explored - because, often as not, they’re just sitting/standing there, part of the group but NOT DOING ANYTHING!
Please note next that one of these three is “in love with” (and I mean in the unhealthy way, because the way she starts out… yeah, no.) the hero of the show, and the second is said hero’s long-time crush.
So, they’re unavailable as well!
Which just leaves the woman who caught a plane from Italy to Japan as she stalks a guy, who violently poisons people she doesn’t like, and accidentally poisons everyone else because that’s the only way she knows how to cook. Because she’s an ‘assassin’.
So, no women left. At all.
By default, we must then turn to pairing up the men with each other. Now, I’m not going to do the same somewhat-detailed analysis of the male side of things, but that’s because even the villains in this have a good-sized fanbase. Still, if we take the approximate ratio of minor, manga-only, and game-only characters, and transfer across to the men….
Twenty of forty-two… Eighty of one-sixty-eight.
That still leaves eighty-eight men. Okay, let’s take out the same number of married/dead/cursed-to-unavailability/under-five men. Number for number, rather than ratio, because this is much more of a one-for-one thing.
Minus eleven…
77.
There are still SEVENTY-SEVEN SINGLE MEN!
And, I reiterate, NO VIABLE WOMEN LEFT.
Okay… Okay, how about we take out the ‘minor’ and ‘sidelined’ characters? By Ratio, because with these, that will work. Females: five (I’m including the cyborgs) out of forty-two. Males… it’s about 20.
Which still leaves 57.
You know, I was maybe a little generous about the ‘dead’ ones… I’ll round the number down to an even fifty.
That’s still fifty characters without a female option.
50!
No wonder the fandom is rife with gay pairings. I mean, the fandom can feed off not a whole lot to get a viable character, so even adding back in the sidelined females, there’s only six that can maybe go anywhere, really. Unless you feel like exploring the married/de facto/dependent ones as well.
Which still aren’t enough to go around.
I have nothing against same-sex pairings, but all the same, I would like to point out that, seriously, the lack of gender equality and balance in sympathetic characters! I’m also going to point out that, apart from the ‘bad guy’ females, most of what the ‘good guy’ females do is STAY HOME AND COOK!!! IN AN ANIME WHERE THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE MAFIA! ALL THE TIME FIGHTING!
I get it, I do. I did a tiny bit of research on Mafia for a fanfic I’m doing of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Men went out and did the Manly thing of protecting their families - sometimes leaving their families at crucial times to do so. Women stayed home and were protected - generally while being kept oblivious to what their menfolk were up to.
BUT STILL!
I’m also going to stick this in my blog, but that gets posted on Sundays, so… yeah.
Very good points!
my absolute otp is 1859 and there’s, like,,,,, not enough about them tbh and im here screaming into the void “SHIP HIBAGOKU YOU COWARDS” im empty inside
ok but they actually have an interesting dynamic that can go so many ways. you have the fact that gokudera is ready to meet hib in the pit 24/7 365 and hib just keeps having to bat him away like a cat annoyed by an angry bumblebee ?? you also have that entire scene in the kokuyo arc where gokudera not only saved hib from his cell by blowing it up but also Unleashed Him (which gokudera does w/ yama and lambo too like this kid knows how his friends work it’s hilarious) and then hib paid him back by giving him a lift thus starting their stupid chain of IOU’s that persists thru the entire series. also the fact that uri likes hanging out w/ hib (and inside dryers lmfao) and box weapons are reflections of their user’s personalities ?? like it’s such a quirky ship v meme but also kinda cute !?!?!
I have seen the light
ns: K-KARMA!!!
ka: what? i’m just planning ahead.
ns: YOU’RE NOT HELPING, AKABANE!!
Caution: Rare-pairs are NOT a safe thing to feed your fic. It will consume them and grow uncontrollably.
SO I HAVE COME TO REALIZE.
trying to find content for your rarepair like
ATRE AKIBA REBORN STORE OPENED AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS
AAAAAAAAAH! NEW GUARDIAN FRIENDSHIP MIX-UPS! GIMMEEEEEEEE! (But where are Chrome, Lambo and Ryohei?)
Also, I WAS RIGHT ABOUT TSUNA BEING A MIDGET COMPARED TO THE REST! @i-w-p-chan SEE THIS? I'M SO EXCITED!
when your only contribution to a fandom is to write rarepair fanfic that caters to your own incredibly specific tastes
yea i p much started shipping 2040 cause they’re the 2 girls in the simon famiglia…but….who cares they still have a better relationship than julie and adel. julie and adel’s relationship is fucking terrible and straight people r wild when they try to portray relationships like that as endearing in any way.
wait ppl ship julie and adel????? fckn wild
i am not sure if they do, i hope not!!!! ahhHHH!! there’s prbly people out there that do though bc the ship is canon??? ew… i was specifically thinking of amano putting them in a relationship even though julie is disgusting, somehow relationships like that seem to make it into a lot of popular media…where the boy is absolutely nasty but the girl is a blushy mess around him and they try to portray that as “romantic”. it’s nasty, and frankly, i am not here for it. it’s not cute, it’s awful and encourages girls to pursue toxic relationships when it’s not made clear that it’s a bad relationship.
@princebel @otaku-alert You know what’s funny? I totally agree with you guys, but that’s also why I actually do ship Julie and Adel. Out of sheer fucking spite. If canon wasn’t gonna do right by Adel, then I’m going to fix it. By myself if I have to.
It began with the breasts. Yes. The breasts. I was annoyed by how gigantic they were, but really happy that she had a jacket on that went up to her neck, like, that’s okay, still giant breasts, but there are girls who have giant breasts, and this case wasn’t overly sexualized.
UNTIL Simon island. With every scene that zipper went lower and lower until it was UNDERNEATH her breasts, and I was about to explode with anger when I went: Nope.
Nope. Never. Headcanon: Adel likes breasts. Doesn’t matter what sexuality she is, even if she’s straight, she can love them for the round aesthetic. Adel loves breasts, including her own, and that’s why the cleavage is gigantic.
I had to, for my own sanity.
And then... It spiralled out of control. Seriously, it gets weird here. Anyway, I was reading the last parts, about Julie and Adel, and it made me angry again, but I was done being angry about Adel because Adel’s my girl and I wasn’t gonna take that bullshit about my favourite character in canon.
So I turned it around. Sure, Julie was still flirty, but no cheater, and he and Adel would totally talk about breasts. (Also, the weirdest of all: Julie with illusionary breasts. Because Adel likes breasts and Julie likes breasts and if Adel is possibly straight- which, once again, she doesn’t have to be- and can love breasts and love having breasts, then so can Julie. I’m done with gender restricting this stuff)
Um. This is such a long post, but whenever I think: I would never ship that my mind just automatically goes: Let’s find a way you would ship it out of spite.
(also, I’ve never shipped 2040 before- mainly because my Shittopi-chan characterizations are all over the place- but it’s really cute? Thanks for giving me a new ship!)
Okay, so I just discovered your blog and it is SO AWESOME! Like, you made me ship todomomo and gave me all these Momo Jirou friendship feels, take responsbility! My fangirl heart can't take this! TAT (You're really cool, okay?!)
Thanks! The same happened to me a few weeks ago, which resulted in this Todomomo pit I am in now.
This is a good pit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It definitely is! I saw some stuff for it before, but it never really clicked, but your art and headcanons just went BOOM: notification, new ship acquired!
whats ur favorite girl+girl ship in khr lads
Kyoko/Chrome!
Me: I wanna write a khr fic. There will probably be a pairing. I should pick now. Hmm… which one should I write?
My Heart: *glows* All27. Guardians27. G27. 7227. 1827. X27.
My Muse: *slams hands on table* Screw that.
Me: *curious* What do you have in mind?
My Heart: *depressed* Why…
My Muse: You better start on 0027 and 001827 ASAP.
Me: *cracks knuckles* Okay.
My Heart: *does a 180* YES! MY BABIES! 0027 AND 001827 FTW!
My favourite Noragami ship is handsdown non-sexual but romantic YatoHiyoriYukine.
when you see fanart of your otp
For the character-ask post: Enma, please! I'm curious!
my dude no need to say please lmao I’d answer anyways
Enma:
(I love 0027 SO MUCH)
There does exist a poly ships for Enma- @i-w-p-chan has the best poly ship for Enma EVER! 002718 and it is marvelous!
And on the precious- How can I not agree when there’s stuff like this:
Thank you for the entertaining answer!
*breaks down door* DID SOMEONE MENTION 0027, THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE?
001827: you’d think Hibari in a three-way relationship with two fluff balls/little animals would be more popular but apparently not.
And this is why we created the 0027 Population Project. Our Feelings Cannot Be Contained. (and then I began to sing in my head: ‘’Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep, it’s time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap! It’s time to try defying gravity, I think I’ll try defying gravity, and you can’t pull me down!’’ and knew I’d gone down to the deepest level of shipping Hell, because Wicked is Holy).
I'm going wild and asking about the ships for G.
Surprisingly, for such a wild ask, I actually have thought about G and ships before? Like, (to my eternal surprise with my ever growing list of unposted and in-progress AU’s) I even have some posted!
And this wasn’t included in the ask list, but if G had a child? I know most people write dad!G for Gokudera, and I like that, it’s cute, but what I REALLY want to see (and probably eventually will write if no on else will, because that’s how more than half my fics started XD) is dad!G for Bianchi.
breathe, me, breathe.
I need more GMafia in my life.
(now i really want to write a fic about: G and Ricardo bonding over how exasperating their fanclubs (a.k.a the mafia) are. with Ricardo The Oblivious™ not recognizing the fanclub as a fanclub. and G being an Expert at dealing with his fans.)
Do I need to call the CPR expert?
ME TOO TAT
I would LOVE that fic! (G going all: ‘’Young grasshopper,’’ on Ricardo and Giotto hearing about the Fandom Lessons and freaking out, because: ‘’That’s MY SON you’re stealing, G!’’ And nobody brings up the fact that Ricardo techically raised himself and his cousin, instead of his cousin him).
For the character ask: I know your absolute Brotp for Gokudera, but I'm curious about the rest!
damn
caught between a rock and a hard place…
Gokudera isn’t a character I thought about in terms of shipping a lot, so my answers are going to be wild ‘things I may look into’ and ‘possibilities’. if I have an answer, that is.
*one hour later*: *screams* why is this so difficult?!
NOTP: don’t think I have one for him.
BROTP: 5927 yesh. also, 5986 (because bonding over Tsuna. 5986 are the founders of his fanclub)
OTP: this is very difficult since I don’t really get enthusiastic about shipping him with others in a romantic sense (read: I don’t have one ^^;)
Second choice pairing: same as above ^^;
Fluffy pairing: I’ll… go with 5927, even though I ship it as a platonic ship rather than a romantic one.
Angsty pairing: D: do I have to pick one? can’t Gokudera be in a happy ship?
Favorite poly ship: maaaaaaaybe 275980? maaaaaaybe…
Weirdest pairing: what… which pairing would qualify as weird? I can’t think of normal pairing for him let alone a weird one… hmmm, maybe Rica59? it’s the weirdest one that popped into my head and I’m in a phase of experimenting with Rica-ships, so yeah.
(that was highly uninformative)
It’s interesting, actually! Because unlike my asexual!Bianchi hc’s (like seriously, I love RebornBianchi, but I ESPECIALLY love RebornBianchi were it could be romantic, but also could be platonic and they’re just really close and it’s really up to the reader to decide what it is), I’ve never hc’d Gokudera as asexual. I have considered aromantic!Gokudera, though, because he’s usually such a gray area when it comes to shipping.
Like, I love a good YamamotoGokudera fic from time to time, but Gokudera never really stuck into a pairing for me. It’s just looking from story to story if I want anything like that with him. Even in my (WIP and unposted- I’m talking about Growing Galaxies) soulmate AU Gokudera’s soulmates are both platonic. Not that that has to mean anything in that universe- both of Hibari’s soulmates are platonic too, yet he has a romantic relationship.
I do have may BROTP’s for him, even family!TP’s, but Gokudera doesn’t fit into a box, not even if it’s a nice and romantic box.
