YOKAI: Since you hate men, please make me your shiki. Hey, Nanase.
TAKUMA: You're popular as usual.
NANASE: For God's sake... They're all fooling around, just because Matoba isn't here. They may be imitating women, but they are all bothersome monsters.
βVolume 21, Special 17.
It's funny that sometimes I think saying Nanase is canonically a lesbian is reading too much into it given the only evidence we have is One scene that's just subtext and coding (and okay her wearing that suit, that's a very soft butch gay suit. And then there's her fascination for Reiko but I don't think that really counts, and that's mostly developed in the anime sadly), but then I reread that moment from Special 17 and I'm like. umm. Midorikawa what was the purpose of that scene if not to tell us she is Very Gay lmao
I just love the implication that apparently Nanase being a lesbian is such a widely known fact within the exorcist community that yokai literally take the appeareance of women to flirt with her. Like okay. Even Takuma coments that she's "popular as usual," which granted he's just teasing her about the yokai flirting with her here but still. What's your history Miss Nanase π Do you think when she was young she was a ladykiller who went around seducing all the female exorcists so that's why she has that reputation lol
Also I'm kind of mad about how the official English translation did that specific scene:
YOKAI: We don't like men. Won't you please make me your servant? C'mon, Nanase.
Like. At least they still come off as flirting with her, and yes, the original Japanese can be a little ambiguous β but honestly that's pretty clear the yokai are not talking about themselves but that they're talking about Nanase.
YOKAI: η·γ―ε«γγͺγγ γγ
γ γγγγ
εΌγ«γγ¦γγγγ
γγδΈη¬
"Otoko wa kirai nandayou" make little sense to translate it as "WE don't like men"... They're clearly talking about Nanase disliking men here, especially within the scene's context given what Nanase says next? She basically states that those yokai took the appearance of women to "fool around [with her]," so what would be the point of doing this if not because Nanase "hate men"?
It pisses me off a little, like c'mon. I don't really think it was deliberate but that's still annoying because it does somewhat change the gay subtext. At least recently they still kept Shinobu's flirting with women intact so I hope that was still some unintentional mistake on their part but well.
I hope the new anime season adapt this scene properly too and that the sub/dub don't mess it up (the anime do tend to give Nanase a lot of screentime so I'm curious about how they'll adapt this tbh.)

Propaganda under the cut
Eileen
Eileen is an assassin whose sworn duty is to dispose of other hunters that have been corrupted by their lust for blood.
She won the Old Woman Tourney from the Elderly Tourney.
Nanase
she's old she's catty and sarcastic she casually uses yokai as bait or blackmail material she picks fights with teenagers on behalf of her teen/twenty-something exorcist boss. she often wears suits in a series where other women are always in skirts or kimono and yokai disguise themselves as beautiful women to try to get her favor; she ignores them bc its her worldview that you shouldnt let yourself be soft enough to be fooled by anything. she is sick as hell <3

it's thinking about nanase hours...how does she feel surrounded by all these children. her 22-year-old boss who she watched grow up. natori who "comes running" when she teases him and is "such a child". natsume who is a literal teenager. even the one-eyed youkai is "immature like a child." i think maybe she needs to expand her social circle. take some community college classes with the retirees or something. poor gal is comparing everyone to children because it's her only frame of reference.
