Kuja...Female? - Page 3

August 30, 2007, 5:05 PM

I highly doubt that Kuja was originally female in the Japanese version. He is clearly male, even the FMV's showed that. He has no boobage at all.

Also, I give you this: http://www.tagalog-dictionary.com/cg...arch.pl?s=kuya

KUYA means "older brother" in Filipino. KUJA might be pronounced "Koo-jah" with a harsh "j", or "Koo-yah" with a soft "j", like the Filipino word. I think this is pretty obvious that Kuja was always Zidane's "older brother".

The fact is if there was any truth in the rumour there'd be some info on Wikipedia about it or something. But there's nothing as far as I can see. It's just a rumour and I don't see anything to back it up.

For Christ's sake, i can't believe this thread is still going. Kuja being a girl is a RUMOR, there is absolutely no proof supporting it.

Haha, i was going to say the exact thing but you beat me to it. And before any of you go "well mebbeh he's one of those small chested girls", NO. He's a man. And chicks almost always have HUGE boobs in anything Japanese. And look at the Amano drawing of Kuja, there is plainly no boobage there.

And before you people say "BUT HE LOOKS LIKE A GRL IN AMANO'S PIC", well duh he does. Everyone looks like a girl in Amano's drawings, including Zidane.

And for those of you who say he has a girl's body...um...SO WHAT? That doesn't mean shit. As a matter of fact, MY figure is like that of a girl. I'm not bulging with muscles, i have a slightly toned but slender stomach, and the rest of me is the same way. That doesn't make me a girl, it's called having a different body type. Ask me for a picture if you don't believe that a guy can have a girl's physique and i'll gladly take one.

If anyone can actually come up with the slightest shred of proof indicating that Kuja is a girl i will be happy to rethink my position, but so far all this amounts to is an inane rumor likely started by some homophobic twats who couldn't handle a male character not being macho and eating 1/3 pound hamburgers and pumping iron.

I highly doubt that dear. It's my native language and I don't see either of them having any particular Filipino characteristics. I think Kuja came from the japanese word for peacock "kujaku". not to mention he looks like a bird and is pretty though.

Yes, bashing whoever it was who initially came up with this unfounded rumor, i have no idea who it is, it's just general bashing. I'd never even heard this rumor until i saw this thread...so either it's relatively new, or very few people bother to even spread it since there's nothing supporting it.

The peacock meaning makes alot more sense, since Kuja is really feathery and such <.<

Kuja is 100% male no doubt about it. like some people said: in the Japanese Culture men who are girlish looking is wildly popular with girls. so...lets just let rumors be rumors ok?

Tetra Master, chill out. VR is just stating his opinions. He's not flaming, trolling, or anything else. I understand you're upset he is disagreeing with your opinion but there's nothing wrong with that. Knock it off.

Wikipedia LINKS the sources. Reliable sources such as creator interviews, IGN, game quotes, and even the Square website!

It's called Bishounen and is extremely common in Japanese culture. It's the concept of a man's attractiveness/beauty going beyond a gender distinction.

Gee, remember the time when everyone though Deidara from Naruto was a female? Nope, fans thought wrong.

Oh and yeah, wow, Kuja has HUGE boobs:

As "Final Fantasy fans" wouldn't we have known about Kuja being a female in the Japanese version anyways? Word spreads fast. The issue would appear in Wikipedia and FFIX fan sites.

That picture reminds me that Kuja is being voiced in the Japanese version of Dissidia by the same person who voiced Kaworu Nagisa in Evangelion (ie a man). Hopefully that will put a final nail in the coffin of any argument that the Japanese intended Kuja to be female.
