Deidara...boy or girl?

Postby Heart of Sword » Thu Sep 21, 2006 7:27 pm

So...I think Deidara's a guy, but some people say he's a girl.

What are your opinions? :P

MOD EDIT: The answer to this question is yes. Inequivocably.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

The only Deidara I can think of is the character from Naruto

and that one is a male.

Which is odd cause at first I thought it was a girl XD

Deidara is male...

A few early scanlations made an error and translated him as female.

I dunno, but apparently Deidara looks like an "Image hosted by Tripod" icon.

Indeed, he does Kae. Though I'm thus supposing that the blue dot represents his masculinity and the green one... uh...



But yeah, he's a dude. =p

Deidara sounds like a girl's name to me, but I don't watch Naruto, so I can't really comment here. XD;

The picture's fixed, sorry. XD And yes, Deidara is from Naruto.

The thing is, there are people 100% convinced he's a girl, and others are 100% convinced he's a guy..... And I think he's cute.

So this could be a major problem. XD;;;

Looks like a guy to me, although the name does sound like a girl. I've only seen a few eps of Naruto, so I can't really give a solid opinion.

According to wikipedia:

Due to the Japanese language's sparse use of third person pronouns, translators have to use their own ideas of Deidara's gender to make sentences flow smoothly. This has caused a lot of confusion, since both "he" and "she" are used to refer to Deidara. However, Deidara speaks of himself using male pronouns and has been given a very deep, male voice in the anime.

The combination of the feminine name with the hairstyle, non-gender specific features, and nailpolish is enough to throw anyone off, imo. XD

This confused me for quite a while while reading the manga. (I have no tv on which to watch the show and can't download it, so there was no help on that front.) I think the revelation that Deidara is indeed male came while looking through Naruto fanart. lol

I've edited the initial post to cut down on the number of people who post to answer the question again. Discuss this subject (not sure how much you can do there) if you like, but otherwise let it die.
