Armin Arlert is one of the main character in a famous anime Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). And I can't believe how people are still confused on Armin's gender. If you search in Google "Armin Arlert Gender" this is what it gives you,
This is what making people more confused. If you want to know the truth behind that Google answer, just read up to the last part. And by the fact that Armin's true gender is MALE is a big confusion. Because whether you believe it or not, there are people who still believe that Armin is a Girl. There are so many proof in anime and statements from the staffs. That's what I'll show you later but men it's very funny. How can they still believe this myth when it's really obvious that Armin is male.
If you want proof that justify my claim then read this.
The Use of "Boku"
This one should be already a huge proof that Armin is a male. Unfortunately not all people doesn't really know what it really implies. He uses distinctive Japanese language for male which is the "boku". It is a pronoun that mostly used by males and sometimes females (but most of them are traps). By far it is one of the most convincing proof.
Armin's Physical Appearance
It's true that Armin got a face of a female. He even used once as a double for History (and maybe contributes to more confusion). But his build is clearly male. Just look at the part where he obtained the power of Colossal Titan. I won't be taking the breast removal claim because it will be hilarious. And by the fact that his full body build is already shown in anime but people still believes that he is a girl is a big shock for me.
Isayama Confirmed it in an Interview
Another solid proof and if people still got confused by this, it would be funny (and stupid). In the 3:09 part of the video a fan asked question to the author of Attack on Titan. She asked which is the real gender of Armin. And Isayama answered "o toko" which clearly means "Man". (won't believe me? use Google translate)
Armin is a Male Name
It isn't a solid proof but it's worth mentioning. I know there are people with whose name sounds exactly opposite with their gender. But if we believe that Attack on Titan uses name which sound exactly like the gender of its character, then it's easy to assume that Armin is a male.
The way this confusion is circulating up to now is hilarious. This issue all started on an interview to Hajime Isayama, where he is asked "Out of all woman in 104th, who is Mikasa closest to?" He answered "Armin". That's where the issue started to explode in Twitter where people actually believes it's all true (well it came from the creator itself). But men, Isayama just want to troll us all and it's meant to be a joke. And to think that his voice actor is a female that's why he sounds more feminine, got the fans really believes that claims. I think Google should fix this result because it's very misleading and inaccurate. Cheer up Armin and Annie shippers. Because your ship can actually sail and it's very awesome. I just hope that people will fix this misunderstanding because almost majority of people still believe this myth.
HAHAHAHA search tabs are funny. But he looked more like Erwin's style at the final season
