Ghirahim Confused for a Female!

[Destiny]

He is a guy, the game informer got it wrong. LORD is strictly masculine, and I'm pretty sure there's a quote that says he's a he.

 

[SinkingBadges]

I have kind of a different viewpoint of Lord Ghirahim. You know, people have compared him to Phi, and if I remember correctly, Phi was said by Nintendo to not be a girl but a spirit who manifests itself in a female form.

I'm thinking that Ghira may be the opposite. Instead, a genderless entity that manifests itself in a male figure.

But I'm probably reading too much into it.

GI probably did get it wrong, but this is just an idea this gave me.

When it comes to specific elements of a series' fiction or lore, Game Informer frequently gets things wrong. They've called Deku Babas "Deku Bobbas" and they called a regular Stalfos in Skyward Sword a "Stalfos Knight", you know despite the fact that in every recent Zelda game normal Stalfos act like that. The Ghirahim thing is either a joke or just another issue like that. But given that they cover video games in their entirety, mistakes make sense and are understandable.

Either way, Ghirahim is in no way female. Absolutely impossible. His voice, when heard in his standard Zelda-style grunt sound effects, is distinctly male. But even aside from that, the only way someone could even remotely suggest Ghirahim is male is if they never really got a close look at him or had no knowledge whatsoever of human anatomy. Male. Not female. Not to be vulgar, but you can even tell he has a package.

Not to be vulgar, but you can even tell he has a package.

Yeah, pretty much every body feature he has is male. I mean, I'm pretty sure his somewhat revealing clothing (the daimond gaps in his white clothing article) doesn't show anything, and, yes, he does appear to have a package, especially at the end of the E3 2011 trailer. (Yeah... That's why I cut that part out in the screenshot I made of him there. :xd

 

[Wolf Sage]

Yes, he's male. His musculature and body type shows it. His behavior may be a tad effeminate, because Miyamoto-senpai wanted him to be the opposite to Ganondorf (in a way).

Game Informer makes those little errors quite often actually. I sometimes browse the magazine and stuff looking for errors when I 'm bored, seriously... :yes:

.......Whatever you do, don't show Locke this thread. Of course, if Locke already viewed this thread, he'll go into a rampage. But yes, he is a boy. That's why he's called Ghirahim.

 

[Agent Spaghetti]

I don't understand why there's even any question in this. Ghirahim is a guy, no doubt about it.

 

[Xinnamin]

Don't really think there is much further to discuss regarding whether or not Ghirahim is a male, as he clearly is, so I'll just merge this thread with an older one that quoted the amusing GameInformer misinformation.

 

[Cuju]

His voice is quite man-like, and he has no breasts, but besides that...

 

[SirenOfTheSea]

Well I don't know alot about Girahim and I know he's a male. When has the series had a female antagonist. Let me list all I can. Vaati, Ganon/dorf, Nightmare, Majora's Mask (unknown gender), and Zant. Majora's Mask is still trying to be figured out so it's an exception.

Uh... there's Veran. Lol. xD But I'm guessing you haven't played the Oracle games since you didn't list Onox, either.

 

[Myriadviper42]

Well, his name is Ghirahim. So I'm guessing he's a he.

 

[myperuba]

Idk if this has been said already as I'm far to lazy to read all the posts....but speaking of Sheikah and the dark tribe, Sheik was a male who was a female. Not that I think that's what Ghirahim is but just throwing that into this is he female discussion. It could be so.

 

[Ventus]

Demon Lord* Ghirahim

Lord is the male equivalent of Lady.
Just like a King is to Queen, Knight to Dame, Prince to Princess, Man to Woman and so on. No way Ghirahim is a girl, but if it so turns out, my mind will equal blown...

 

[Caelus]

It's been confirmed countless times by Nintendo representatives, including Bill Trinen, that Ghirahim is a male. Any speculation of him being a female is either idiotic or a sick joke.

 

[Big Octo]

You should write GameInformer explaining their error. I'm pretty sure many people have done that, but you never know.
