"I can never say what I want to say."

"It's been like this for a while now. I try to say something but all I get are the wrong words - the wrong words or the exact opposite words from what I mean. I try to correct myself and that only makes it worse. I lose track of what I was trying to say to begin with. It's like I'm split in two and playing tag with myself. One half is chasing the other half. The other me has the right words, but this me can't catch her."

I did study Japanese for a few years, and I can confirm that in the panels you shared Koko did not refer to Senju with any pronouns, just her name, and did not use any other gendered words, so all the speech bubbles in those pages are perfectly gender neutral. Which, even if it probably isn't the case, would be just too funny to interpret as "i have no clue, so let's be safe here."

However it wouldn't have been too outrageous if Koko thought her a guy, since she has shown a certain tendency to present ambiguous or male. For instance, in the infamous toy Concorde scene, tiny Senju yells sometjing like "I wanna play too", and Takeomi immediately chastises her saying it's "unladylike". That's because she used a pronoun for *I* that is both a masculine word and one considered rude.

So, in summary: Koko used gwnder neutral language but Senju is probably referred to as a male more often than not.

P.S. in the Spanish version, the Concorde scene gets lost in translation and is rather sexist anyway, so the original meaning was dismissed and Takeomi's nagging was translated as something like: "stop yelling like a wild animal!"

Oh thanks!!! Ngl I put those on there thinking someone else may know. It is funny to imagine Koko using her name just to make sure he doesn't accidentally get anything wrong though. If he did get it wrong then I kinda feel like Takeomi would be more offended then Senju and if Senju did get annoyed I think it would be more over her assuming Koko said that because he thinks girls can't fight rather then her appearance.

#oh I didn't know that about the Spanish version either! The English one has a little explanation as to what's going on and that she used the #wrong word #tokyo revengers #tokrev #tokyo rev #tokyo revengers spoilers

Saying "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less" is now a crime punishable by two weeks in the salt mines.

Seriously, why would you think that's what the phrase is?! Like, I understand mishearing it at first, but listen to the words coming out of your own mouth. They don't make sense that way. It's so fucking annoying when people do this, and then inist that they're right and argue with you about it.

I had an ex like that. There's a reason that being Dear Leader is such a high-commitment job that it doesn't allow me time for a man (sips vodka smugly).

When I was at a speech and debate tournament and someone called the events “Flavors of speech and debate”. So they asked me “What flavor of speech and debate do you do?”

Should I make it a series of stuff I hear at Speech and Debate tournaments?

Yes
