And is the official databook


I'm not saying it is correct, I'm just saying that is the reasoning behind why most people associated Pitou as male before Madhouse took a definative stance in making the character female.

Am I the only person who thinks knuckle and kuwabara, from yu yu hakusho, are the same character? lol oh well. Anyways isn't it possible that Pitou used a conjurers ability to create that big drum thing kite was in?

With Pitou's massive aura and specialist affinity it would be really easy.

That doesn't seem to require really advanced technology...It's essentially just a container holding some preservative. Probably made out of glass and steel. It's quite likely that the ants scavenged it from the faculty.
There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against:
One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong.
Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong.

I agree just pointing out that she could easily make one.

your entire post is probably the most rational and one I could totally accept out of all the debate about Pitou's gender.


They usually are. ;-)

But, like in all matters of discussion, this is seldom realised by *some* posters who have diametrically opposed opinions of it. One ALWAYS have some who will disagree. Which is fine, as long as counterarguments are based on rational reasoning and substantiated with logical arguments.

For those that aren't, I care next to nothing to be honest. I mean, one opinion equals the next, if no valid logical substantiation for it has been given.

Pitou is female I don't get why people think she is male.


Pitou was strongly hinted as a male in the manga, I think even Togashi said so.


As far as I know, he didn't. In fact, this points out that Togashi was deliberately trying to let the gender of Pitou be ambiguous. It would have been very, very easy for him to settle the matter once and for all, from the start: he didn't.

The only time I can recall he made any implied suggestion of the gender of Pitou, was when he described her as a 'mother cat', which would rather indicate her to be female, rather then male.

I've seen the discussion about the male vs female debate a lot before, when the manga came out, and I know of the main argument that it is 'in the databook'. But I have two remarks on that:

1)Firstly, a databook is not the authoritative reference some people seem to think it is. Not all data in a databook is directly derived from the author, nor sanctioned by the mangaka. In essence, it's just a compendium of facts people make of it, and not all of these people have an authorative standing concerning that particular manga. (In fact, in some databooks it has been proven to contain actual mistakes, or things that were disputed by the author him/herself)

In short, there is only one authority that can or may decide or state in any meaningful way, if Pitou is male of female, and that is Togashi himself. If it's clearly indicated in the manga (and not of the scanlator), or whether it's in the databook - as long as he sanctioned that particular fact, doesn't really matter... but has he?

2)In fact, IS it in the databook? While I have seen many claim as such on the internet, everytime I asked to see definite proof (like a scan of that page), I never got anything. A first prerequisite would be to actually have proof it's literally mentionned in there - prefereably with confirmation of an independent person fluent in Japanese -, and secondly, to establish whether or not Togashi supports that particular fact.

To my knowledge, none of that has been done.


Of course, I must note it works both ways (reciprocity): it's NOT because those making the anime (or the subbers of it) have made the decision that Pitou is female, that that is, in fact, a fact. :-)

But the point I'm making is, that Togashi made it rather obvious he wants the gender of Pitou to remain ambiguous, so if some subber or databook-creator wanted to claim Pitou as male or female, in principle, both could be right. But then, seen her demeanour, I find it more natural to go for a female, to be honest.

In some sense, it would have been even better if the anime/subbers/databookguys would have continued in portraying her like Togashi did: with an ambiguous gender. But I guess that's just too difficult, especially in a Western-translated fashion.

Note that if she was male, she would be a tramp. ;-p

I've always thought of Pitou as a male in the manga, but I really wouldn't mind if she's actually a female, since other than Bisuke [and Palm, to an extent], there aren't any other strong girls in this series. On another note, I really like Madhouse's selection of seiyuus; they match their respective characters extremely well.

Knuckle is awesome, keeping up the old school manly man persona :p. It was hilarious when they were all eating lunch and Palm is standing in the back with a knife. Looks like Neferpitou wants to resurrect Kite for another fight, it's like Hisoka's soul mate.

"The fact is, we can't overcome everything with willpower." Thank you Gon, you're one of the few battle shounen MCs that faces reality!

Knuckle's a pretty funny guy. I agree with the comment that he's like a tsundere without the love stuff.

So there are more reinforcements coming. Netero still seems pretty wary, though.

Awwwwn, I wanted to see Netero beat the crap out of some chimera ants :(
They seem to be greatly underestimating the time left before the King birth. To me, he seem pretty close to eclosion.



Neferpitou seem to be doing somekind of crazy scientist experiments. Man, that girl is so wrong :|

Fucking Knuckle xD
That dude is such a big bro. He's the incarnation of the aniki.

Okay okay... I'm totally new to HxH and I'm loving this arc already. It definitely has a AoT feel. Maybe it inspired it?

Anyway, HxH is an amazing show with pretty much no plot holes (comparing other shows). BUT please guys, I might be nitpicking but how on earth can anyone build a bio-lab with only Nen and some books? This is just ridiculous. I know they want to make the Ants scary, but damn no. How smart can you be to produce this crazy amount of electricity from thin air and have that knowledge to use it correctly... It's just wrong... :'p
