| I think there's some confusion because Eve's the only character whose VA (Hiroki Nanami) is a woman, the rest are all guys. But since it's an anime about boys bands, I just assumed he's a boy as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But generally speaking Eve's gender wasn't stated anywhere (neither anime nor the official site), so if you have any theory/idea of your own, there you go. |

| he's a dude. if it's not addressed, then you can assume that the character's a dude. FishPeople56 said: Is it okay for me to keep saying him? why would it not be ok?! what's he gonna do? jump out of the screen to tell you he's mad?!?!?!? It's a literal drawing, not a person!!! |
| one piece episode 321 15:46 (or 16:33) you're welcome |
| First of all, neither English subs nor how Eve refers to themselves can be used to indicate gender. Lots of Japanese indicatives (what would be he/she, him/her, or his/hers in English) are gender-neutral, and subbers translate it as they/them because they themselves aren't sure of Eve's gender; this in no way indicates that Eve officially uses they/them pronouns or is non binary. As for Eve using "boku", yeah, it is normally mainly used by men in real life, but anime and manga are full of examples of women using boku and sometimes even ore, so it can't be used as a decisive clue either. I think that even though Eve's gender hasn't been explicitly stated, it's safe for now to assume that they are male, since it seems that in this anime all vampires are men; not only because every other vampire character in the show is male, but also because, as you may recall, when Beth tells Ange what he is, Beth says that dhampirs are half human and half vampire, born to a human mother and a vampire father; Beth doesn't say "and viceversa", or anything of the sort, which might indicate that only vampire males can exist in this universe. Ange's particular case seems to support this theory. |
| Elizabeth is male. If you were around for the Visual Kei era, you'll remember that most Visual Kei bands included one member that dressed in female (usually gothic victorian) dresses and acted as the "female" in music videos (most notoriously, Mana-sama). Eve is also male. It's a little discouraging that whoever is doing the subs doesn't know what to do with him on account of his seiyuu being female. His seiyuu said she was excited to voice an ikemen, too. That being said, they're just characters and technically none of them have established genders so you can think of any of them as whatever makes you happy. Who's gonna stop you? Be free, be happy. |

| The only time "they" is used is by the person writing the subs, so it's not canon. As makech17 also mentioned, most visual kei bands had feminine appearances and some of them dressed up as a female (which is why Lost Eden has the same... a bit too eerily similar to all of OZ.). Even my boy Mivavi has done it and Yohio, although not Japanese, is visual kei and has dressed up as a female for some of his songs before. |

| Idk about his canon gender, but I like him/them because hes/theyre so androgynous. Ik about that visual kei crossdressing trend, I just personally wish Eve would be a nonbinary character, Id love that very much.. |
Neither the subtitles, nor Myanimelist character profiles are a reliable source of information to assume Eve's and Beth's gender. I am pretty sure both were intended to be male because
The reason you see both "he" and "they" as Eve's and Beth's pronouns is because there aren't any pronouns used in Japanese, so the interpretation is up to the subber/translator. Using "they" currently is just a nice precaution |
