Rule 63: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', as a series where gender is essentially an arbitrary distinction, actually has official art fulfilling this rule.

* [http://rule63.paheal.net/post/view/3949?search=Seto_Kaiba This] from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' fandom. [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|"There are no women in Yu-Gi-Oh..."]]

** Jonouchi's [http://yamitomangaka.deviantart.com/#/d45zfpo been treated like this as well] (link SFW).

** A canonical example would be the Dark Magician Girl that appeared in the Battle City arc.

** Let's not forget [[The Hero]] himself: [http://rule63.paheal.net/_images/4295d13b24dc75c9d251ee7140718de4/3218%20-%20Yami_Yugi%20Yu-Gi-Oh%20Yugi_Muto.jpg]{{Dead link}}

* ''[[Naruto]]'' examples:

** The title character's sexy jutsu is based on this. "Naruko" is considered an entirely separate character by many fans.

* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' does the gender inverting in one of its specials seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSMtWykUq8 here on youtube], including an awesome male Balalaika (and Eda looking an awful lot like the cowboy mercenary she had a [[Gun Kata]] duel with). Hilarity bonus also runs for the [[Creepy Twins]]. The best part is that, in spite of having their genders swapped, the characters ''still have the same voice actors'', who make ''no attempt to sound more gender appropriate''.

* ''[[Baccano!]]'' character Claire Stanfield has a sadly feminine name,right? [https://web.archive.org/web/20150501051728/http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=14534972&type=scroll Here], the name fits the character better. Fem!Graham is on that page, too, as is [[Femme Fatale|Chane]] [[Cute Mute|Laforet]] as a [[Sharp-Dressed Man|well dressed]], [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] [[Bishonen]]. [[Mr. Fanservice|*Dreamy sigh*]]. Curiously, Ladd Russo and Christopher are on that page too, but they're completely unaffected.

** Maybe she's just wondering [[Fridge Logic|why she got her leg back]]?

* It's true: even the most [[Testosterone Poisoning|MANLY OF MEN]] is not immune to this. Cower in fear before [http://rule63.paheal.net/post/view/12537?search=kamina female Kamina]. [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Yes, that one]]. The scary bit? Even in female form he's more manly than most men!

** And just that little extra: [http://rule63.paheal.net/_images/c3f989c138395dce5cb22dd8f134fa7e/7008%20-%20cosplay%20gundam%20gundam_00%20madhatter_hello%20Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann%20Tieria_Erde%20Yoko_Littner.png R63-Tieria cosplaying as]{{Dead link}} [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Yoko]].

* The title character of [[Ranma ½]] is an canonical [[Gender Bender]], being cursed to change into a sexy, female version of himself on contact with cold water, because he was once tossed into a cursed spring in a training session by his idiot father. While obviously a "real" aspect of the Ranma character, fandom has taken the concept even farther, naming the female side of him "Ranko" and making her an actual character in countless fan works, ([[Rule 34|many of them extremely NSFW]]).

 

== Literature ==

* The [[Dougal Dixon]] book ''[[Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future]]'', a book infamous for blatant examples of [[Body Horror]] and [[Nightmare Fuel]] [http://rule63.paheal.net/post/view/22113 is no exception].

 

* ''[[Superjail]]'' has an episode where female versions of the entire cast appear, complete with a female-to-male transgender to compliment Alice and a lesbian couple in the place of the gay couple in SJ.

* ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' will prove this rule disturbingly true for Flippy with a simple [[Deviant ART]] search. Although, use caution with that one, because it's usually not a female version of Flippy they're making, it's their [[Copy Cat Sue|own characters]] and a separate entity that's basically just if they made Flippy as a girl and then ship them with the ''real'' Flippy.

* Given the high female-to-male character ratio on ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', it was probably only a matter of time before male versions of the six main characters came out. A fan artist named [http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/ Trotsworth] has probably the most famous examples. There's even fics about it, such as [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/story-63rd-rune.html The 63rd Rune] and [[On A Cross And Arrow]].

* "Neutopia", the seventh season premiere for ''[[Futurama]]'', features [[Gender Bender]] versions of each character. The episode even lampshades this trope when a calendar of the sex-changed characters makes a huge profit due to the "creepy fans" of Planet Express.
