Do you think Crona is a boy or a girl?

This has never been revealed because it's possible to be completely non-gender-specific in Japanese and it kinda bugs me, so I was wondering what people thought. Any ideas? Personally I think he/she is a girl due to pink hair and robe/dress.

I'm pretty confused about it too, but I'm going for girl, even though in her first apperance she stated she gets nervous when conversing with girls... And they seemed to call her a 'he' at first...
But I mean, she does wear a dress, and the little black thing that comes out her back tried to lift it up, didn't it? Plus, chaper 60 she's seen naked holding a towel over her 'breasts'.
I vote female.
Or maybe both male AND female....

Listeno the way Crona talks. Crona never says "ore wa" which is how a male refers to himself.

Ohoho I love this question C: simply because no one really knows the answer to it! I thought that he/she was a boy at first, but now I'm at episode 32, and I'm pretty sure that he/she is a girl. But I agree with the post further up that said that Crona is genderless xD

True but ore is very informal, it's possible that a boy would use boku or watashi as a pronoun. Japanese is too non-specific :P

This thing is 'boku' is hardly ever used by girls. True, it's not impossible just very uncommon for a girl to use 'boku' to refer to herself. It's way more common for males to do so.

But since even the Ohkubo doesn't even know Crona gender. Crona could either be a 'he' or a 'she'.

im not confused im like 99.9999999999% sure "he's" a boy. because in the dub like maybe in the first or second episode that he is introduced somewhere it is stated that heis a boy. and they keep refering to to it sometimes. in little points u dont paay attention to :P

I think Crona is a boy. I have NOT seen Medusa call him her daughter, maybe it was on a fan sub, but I watch the official sub, and it says "he".

Crona is a boy. It honestly doesnt matter if he wears a dress or NOT and who said boys cant hav pink hair!? On the 7th episode we meet Crona and he for one thing sounds like a boy and for another he is scared and doesnt know how to deal with "girls" .
Maka also refers to him as a boy. Everyone else does pretty much as well.
Medusa refers to him as her "son"
mind u i hav no idea wtf they say in the sub versions YOU watch but in the english dub and on the subs I watch they state to Crona as a BOY!
When Ragnarok attempts to lift his "dress" does NOT make him a girl just because he may wear a dress and have pink hair does NOT make him a female.
Okay men wear skirts in Hawaii so does that mean they are Homosexuals does that mean they are undercover females? no it does not.
Even though Homor Simpson wore a Moo Moo didnt change his gender wat so ever.
Homer Simpson wears a sports bra to walk down the stairs...that is pretty um...yeah...STILL CRONA IS NOT HOMER SIMPSON! why am i even typing about homer simpson...?! okay my appinion is that CRONA IS A BOY not a GIRL BOY B-O-Y

Watching Episode 7(English version) now and Maka and soul has said many times than i can count "That Dude","That Guy","Him", or"His". In the subs it's the same refering to crona as a male.

Edit:In the Preview for the next episode on the english track crona said "Do all girls shout this much" O.O

I vote girl. Pinkish-purple hair. Dress-like attire. And "Crona" just sounds like a girl's name. However, in the dub Crona is referred to as a "he", but I heard they made Crona a male by default because he/she is truly genderless.

But I still think girl.

Did you guys even watch Soul Eater? Chrona, despite whatever gender he/she is, is nervous around everyone, because he doesn't know how to 'deal' with it. So, for girls, he/she says "I don't know how to deal with girls.". Chrona is just a nervous person.


Anyways, for me, I don't view Chrona as a boy or girl, and I could care less whichever it is. For me, Chrona is Chrona.. a shy person who is Maka's bestfriend. Boy or girl doesn't change his/her personality. So, I don't care(:
