Talk:Haruta

Female?
Is it confirmed that Haruta is a female?Ruffy04 15:05, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

not really but im pretty sure haruta is a female only name, i could be wrong of courseBiropg 15:50, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Cuz' Haruta doesn't really look like a female, she/he wears pretty shaggy clothes, so you don't see any 'contures' or 'body-lines', if you know what I mean 83.250.2.60 18:19, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

I do but that doesn't change fact that not all women have feminime body chape, and as for now unlike izou all we curently have to go by for gender with haruta is her name so until othervise proven she should be refered to as a woman. Biropg 22:13, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I disagree that this character is to be refer to as a female even though the character has a "feminine" name.At most the character gender is ambigous.Look at Izou.her face look feminine yet the body got no boobs.I could argue with Haruta too.Oda always potrays female characters with boobs except for children.I think It's best imo that we refer him/her as only "Haruta".218.186.10.237 00:04, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with anonymous.and here are all Haruta’s appearances.

I think we should just decide on one gender for Haruta until proven otherwise. The article looks weird when written gender-neutrally. I say we call Haruta a girl if all we have to go on is her name and a few less than helpful full-body shots.DancePowderer 02:48, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

The article was originally written as if Haruta was female until an unregistered user got to it. Then I looked at the talk page and realized that stating a gender was mostly speculative so I changed it to gender neutral. While it does look a little awkward, some of that awkwardness could be cleaned up with better gender neutral writing and it's better than speculating.Bastian964 04:06, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

A random IP changed everything and didn't even defend it and you're saying you agree with them? SeaTerror 21:07, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

@ SeaTerror: No, I did not agree with them. Did you read the edit history? Answer, no. They changed the article to refer to Haruta as a male, I changed it to be gender neutral after reading the talk page since assigning any gender is speculation. Bastian964 21:36, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so this whole time I totally agreed that Haruta was a girl name, but this argument was getting just a little old so I decided to ask my mom. Who is, by the way, Japanese. She says Haruta is a boy name, the "ta" indicates it's a male. --YazzyDream 21:21, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with you on the fact that Haruta is a boys name. I did a quick search on google and I only found one instance where Haruta was used as a name for a female and a pseudonime at that, Nana Haruta. Personally I'm for writing this gender neutrally but if we pick a gender it should be male because of the name. Bastian964 14:03, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Haruta in "Nana Haruta" is family name. So it does not matter. But as a Japanese, Haruta sounds male name. (春太 haru="spring", ta="thick") --Klobis 09:59, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Special ability?
I do agree that she (yes I said she, she does have a feminine face and no other distinguishing traits) does seem to favor agility, but in episode 463 she's seen using her sword to cut through a marine's metal shield, helmet, and sword all in one swing. Either she's incredibly powerful or has some ability based around that.
