    I always thought the way Alluka's hair was cut was weird, in those choppy layers. Then I took a closer look at her hair in the manga, and came to the conclusion that her hair is matted/in dreadlocks due to neglect. In the manga, each uneven, thick lock of hair is defined, and her hair isn't shiny like other black-haired characters. It makes me really mad when I think of Illumi's shiny, flowing hair.

    You don’t get dreads by neglecting your hair…? I’m confused, you have to care for dreads, they’re a selected hair style, do some hair types resemble dreads if they’re left alone…? Like do they twist, and get styled…?

    @@plaguedfrost1753 A similar process can happen, yes, but obviously it's not styled on purpose or cared for when it happens due to neglect. I've seen people's hair develop little mats that resemble dreadlocks due to lack of care (say, at the base of the neck where it's hard to reach). If it's the whole head it's normally one big mat, but maybe in Alluka's case someone tried to detangle it and that's why it's in a bunch of thick strands instead. In my original comment, I wasn't sure exactly what word to use, because "mat" implies one big one and "dreadlock" implies styling. That's why I used both words, to try to describe the situation better. Sorry if it was unclear or the wrong description.

    @@kidkakashi623 bruh the example in the video was a five year old. She's 10. It's scientifically proven that you can sense your gender at 3 years old already. Kids make differences between girls and boys at kindergarden already. You're telling me people don't have a gender until they're 18 or what lmao. When I was in kindergarden, the gender roles where CLEAR. Girls had to wear pink and boys blue. Girls played with dolls and boys with cars. (i don't support gender roles but this is an example of how kids already identify with genders). At 10 or even younger you ALREADY develop childhood crushes. Now, if you're a guy, you played with cars or boy-ish toys and if you're a girl you played with dolls or girly toys. You felt some kind of disgust or rejection towards the toys of the opposite gender and noone would catch you playing with those cause it was embarrassing. You didn't want people to see you as a different gender. Now imagine, if you felt the exact kind of way but with the toys that are assigned to YOUR current gender. What if you didn't want to play with boy toys or wear boy-ish clothes because you didn't want people to see you as a boy but rather as a girl? That's completely possible and happens more often than you think. It's fucking traumatic for the child to always be referred to as the wrong gender. And no, the kids don't just "choose" to be another gender because people educate them on transgender people. If you're transgender, you'll notice something is wrong with your gender, even without knowing what it is you're feeling. Now do I think we should give children hormones at a young age? No and the reason is that childrens bodies don't differ as much from the opposite gender. Until puberty, every child looks practically the same. The only way to identify their gender is to dress them in a girly or boy-ish way. So if your son wants to wear a dress cause he feels more comfortable in it FUCKING LET HIM. No, it won't "confuse" him. It will only traumatize him if you tell him that what he wears is wrong and force him to wear with sth else or play with sth else. Just. Be a decent person and a good parent and try not to ruin your child so that it doesn't end up like many lgbtq+ teens who don't get acceptance from their parents and end up with suicidal thoughts. Please, if you're gonna have kids, accept them the way they are and don't traumatize them, or just don't have kids, thank you.

    It should be noted that the Kakin Empire's weird tradition is explained clearly as soon as it is introduced, whereas the Zoldyck family's language is never explained. I really have no clue about Kalluto's gender (it's possible they're a he who likes crossdressing or historical dressing like Kikyo, given that a furisode wasn't gendered a few hundred years ago) but I do believe that Alluka's trans. That's the easiest explanation. Abusive family says "little brother," supportive family says "little sister." Could it be explained by a different theory? Sure, but it feels sort of like an excuse to keep a series non-queer to me. Love the video though!

    I came here because when I saw Killua stand up for Alluka, saying she was a girl, after everyone else in the family using masculine pronouns and gendered terms to refer to her, I freaked out? I thought I was misled by thinking it was a subtext for her being transgender, but now I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Overall, even if it's not explicitly said, transgender people can still identify themselves and relate to her story, and I think it's beautiful. This anime really is something

    I didn't know Kurapika's gender was ambiguous. I always thought he was a guy from the get go, even with his speech which came across as polite and neutral at best. I thought Kalluto was a girl originally, until later on. Alluka I thought was a girl since Killua referred to her as such and with the way she dressed. Of course with Kalluto and Alluka, for me, I know them more so through the manga because I've only seen the 1999 version and don't care much for the 2011 version. I will attempt to go back to it after my rewatch of the 1999 version and just start 2011 at the Chimera Ant Arc. With Alluka, I've never heard her speak to make assumptions.

  • @EmmaBGames
    @EmmaBGames3 жыл бұрын

    I always perceived Kalluto as a boy; I perceived the situation as Kalluto being a young man forced to wear feminine clothes to please his mother as she never gave birth to a girl...and the little girl that she did have ended up being too dangerous to play dress-up with anyway; it would be quite distressing for Killua's mother, I believe to be told that she does, in fact, have a daughter only to have that stripped away from her again. You can see when the boys were younger they were all treated seemingly equally by their mother, but Alluka does have long hair for 'Mummy to play with;' take away the precious baby who indulges her, and then she takes it out on Kalluto. I think Kalluto realizes now the advantage he has as an assassin being so beautiful and uses his trauma to further his career and become more powerful and more skilled in that art of assassination. Ultimately for him, he is a boy turning into a man...he is just in a dress whilst he does it. I think that is powerful; clothes themselves are not gendered, but rather the perception of them is based on societal gender representations. Alluka I always thought of as a transgender girl, and even then I use he/him pronouns to refer to Alluka but say things like "such a pretty girl!" and I think that is because I understood the intentions behind the Japanese pronoun usage much more. eg. "He is such a pretty girl. I love Alluka. Nanika is such a good girl too, she is so pure." If I did that in English to an English speaking Trans person it would be inappropriate, but that is how the language is perceived in this case to refer to Alluka /Nanika within the Japanese context...it just doesn't translate over to English.

    That's how I viewed Kalluto too. I always assumed that he dressed feminine because their mother wanted a daughter. As for Alluka, I just figured she was a girl, but because of how powerful she was, her mother didn't want to deal with her for whatever reason (Nanika)...but, I've never heard Alluka speak to assume anything otherwise. I've only watched the 1999 version of the series since I couldn't get into the 2011 series and don't plan to until I finish rewatching the 1999 series after 20 years (lol) and just start the 2011 series at the Chimera Ant arc since the 1999 version wasn't able to adapt that. My exposure to Alluka has been in the manga and I've never read it in Japanese, only English.

    I'm currently rewatching the series because all of the dub episodes are on Netflix. When I originally watched the anime, I started the series in dub, but had to move to sub halfway through because the dub wasn't finished. When I originally watched this, I actually assumed there was just translation issues because I've seen it in plenty of other anime (I watched on some random website, so the translation was never always the same). Because of this I just assumed she was a girl and that the translation was confusing for some reason.

Even if a character is just a "blip" in the anime or manga they are (more often than not) pretty memorable. That's the point he wants you to think about. You are supposed to enjoy these characters for their individuality and uniqueness. They are 100% themselves and that's all that matters. I wish people would keep words out of yoshi's mouth.

    I just rewatched that scene-- Morel says the word "aniki" (big brother) in reference to Illumi, but never references Alluka. Killua only even calls Alluka by her name while talking to Morel. In the manga, their conversation about Illumi wanting to kill Alluka isn't shown, but Morel's reaction is "Your brother?!?" probably referencing Illumi (as in "Your brother is hunting your little sister?!?") although I couldn't find this scene in Japanese to clarify.

Whereas Alluka definitely does not identify as male, but since nobody really gives a shit about her feelings they never attempted to acknowledge this beyond I guess giving her girlier clothes.

I always thought Alluka keeps silent about it because even Killua is not completely right in regards to it. I could understand that very well. Because if the onlyone being supportive, didn't fully understand it, it might be difficult to bring up. Or maybe Alluka isn't sure about it yet. Regarding to the youngest sibling, I never even thought of him not being a boy. Dresses don't make gender, afterall. Even if I am not fully convinced yet, of Alluka being a girl - your video is great! I also didn't realise, that Kurapika's gender was supposed to be a mystery...thank you for sharing! =D

But then when they reffered to kalluto as he/brother even though she looks like a girl and wears girl's clothes, I don't see why they would call her a he, so I thought maybe the zoldyck family like to reffer to all of their children as males maybe because they valuate strength and males are the strongest gender so that could be the reason. Or just they are transgenders but they kept reffuring to them with the gender they were born with. Togashi really likes to make the gender of his characters unclear.

    if alluka is transgender or non-binary, i think the dysphoria would've kicked in after allluka was locked in basment for god knows how long.

    She's not, it's merely a translation issue. Why would the Zoldyck family refer to her as a boy while also buying her dresses and dolls. They consider her to be a "it", but she is biologically a girl so they bought her girl things.

    Welp, not all gay people say trans rights anyways. I've met plenty of gay transphobes.

    I love Hunter x Hunter! And Killua is my farvorite character! I did realy like it how Killua bold saves Gon's life and saves Alluka from there parents and also befriending Nanika. I mostly believe Killua's point by Alluka is a girl. But next too calling Alluka him or son by the family, Killua's mom and dad did cal Alluka it in the anime a view times? The it is mostly too that Alluka is posset by Nanika wear the name it is from? Just like that the Chimera ant's are call't it? The Chimera ant's are also trans-gender and wear in the anime call't him/she. But in the sub or manga it? So i belief Alluka is trans-gender by having Nanika? Alluka as a girl, Nanika as a him/she or it? I heard that Kalluto is a boy. That Killua's mom always want it a daughter and stuff. And thats why he wears dose Japanse inspire clothes?
