Theta: Okay, here's the thing. Ricky is really female. So this shouldn't be /63/. However, because of America's shitty localization skills, they translated the name into a male one and now most people refer to Ricky as male.
I hereby decree that all Ricky /34/ is also /63/ because Ricky doesn't have a definitive gender as defined by both the creators and the fans.
DevilishImmorality: I don't really think the "official" gender of a fictional character should ever be taken into account, for reasons similar to Theta's.
Localization can change *everything* about a character for any or no good reason; look at Samurai Pizza Cats, where most characters are the wrong race and they made everything up on the spot.
NickietheWolf: @Theta: Oh well that makes that bit in the manga a lot less homoerotic.
@DevilishImmorality: Also don't forget German Renamon. *shivers* The voice still creeps me right the fuck out, Der Teufel ist los mit dir, Deutschland?
