Battle of Two Swords

Gakupo does NOT have two swords... but I wanted to give him two, so ha! Anyways, everyone can tell this is male, right? For some reason, my sister and her friends see this and say 'MALE' but when I show them the chibi version, they all scream 'FEMALE!'... YOU CAN'T SAY HE'S ONE GENDER THEN SAY HE'S ANOTHER!!!
