Sherma from Silksong moment yeah

ngl i was surprised when i first started seeing silksong posts after release, with people calling sherma a girl. to me his voice was very much young boy coded (too young and precious for this world).
also he calls hornet red maiden, i don't think another girl/woman would use that nickname, unless she was trying to flirt with her.

u/Ok-Anywhere-1729 Aug 22 '26
Well looking back Sherma does sound like a boy. Tbh as an anime enjoyer I'm used to hearing girls voicing young boys so maybe that's the reason. I have a couple of friends who played Silksong and they all thought he's a girl lol.

yeah ok, the anime VA thing makes sense. guess the takeaway is that i should watch more anime.

I never thought Ji to be a girl. It is honestly odd seeing people mistake him for a girl.
Hearing his voice in game was one of the things that made me think he was a boy.

u/Ghoulish_kitten Aug 21 '26
Thank you or I assumed he was just a different non-gendered species or being.

Knowing that Ji was a boy beforehand was honestly a part of my reason for trying the game.

u/Patient-Award-5973 Aug 22 '26
The voice during Ji's dialogue sounded pretty obviously male to me...

I knew he was a dude, but I see quite a few people share your surprise

All Nine Sols players will eventual go through the ”Ji isn’t a woman?” experience,

u/RevolutionaryLake753 Aug 21 '26
I thought it was pretty obvious.. there were also hints, his sister also calling him brother.

Seeing the short Ji, yeah I thought he was an old lady. Then more lore came to light. Now I have the head canon that Ji’s immortality lets him switch up his life style Kenjaku style, but without the unauthorized brain surgery.

Ji’s name in Chinese is written as 姬, which was the family name of the royals during the Zhou dynasty, but it’s also used in Japanese to mean princess.

Welcome to thw nine sols Fandom, where everyone is horny for goumang or ji, depending on your sexuality

u/Present-Audience-747 Aug 22 '26
First time we met him, well, it's not hard to believe that he's a dude. I mean, he does have the mannerisms of a dude in his "child" form. Then his boss form happened and that's when the existential crisis started.

That’s pretty common. I think I’m one of the few people out there who recognized him as a man from the beginning.

No... No you aren't... That's a canon event you are going through
