One of our former members, Daichi, came to realize that after some research, Denkou is indeed a girl. The confusion came from how all of Denkou's predecessors (i.e. Zero in the 1960's series, Light Ray in the 1980's series) were all male, and a fansub once had Tamao call out upon seeing her, "There...

Genderless. In Japanese you can talk about someone without saying "he" or "she".

As to the topic at hand, I do enjoy when the hero loses, or even dies, sometimes. The thing is, fiction is enjoyable because it makes us feel .

I've seen only...
