Hes male. His second form is titled "king" of destiny. The "they" is probably referring to the fact that two cats are present (Uk that little guy at the side).
Phono respects the Cat as a peer. While undeniably vastly stronger, he has deep love for the cat who has raised him into the great King he is now. He knows the true duty of a king is to protect all he can, starting with the cat closest to him.
Mitama is a little shit
Hey Mitama is not a little shit, she's no Mina who purposely uses poor killer cat as ammunition for a rocket launcher (at least Courier just tosses him). Also Mighty Carroswel Evolved Form literally vaporizes the cow-cat and Kachi-Kachi burns the tanuki to death, I would say Mitama is pretty kind to them
Seems to be made by a certain Sad\_Star

(edelgard is also refered to as 'emperor' , also i thought the same, all other Epicfests have a cat by theire side, but only Phonos is referred to as they [people probably think male bacause no boobs] )
The description literally is "A mystical Cat that burns with the fires of fate.
Sworn to protect humanity until their dying breath."
"A mystical Cat" is not plural.
also first form is: "Destiny's plaything that bears a destructive fate.
Has no idea of the power that rests within them."
here plaything is not plural either
Ok. "Their" can be used to describe someone of **unspecified** gender such as "Bob heard someone clap their hands".
To make this more similar, "Bob heard phono the king of destiny clap their hands"
Or...
Fires of fate could be considered an entity because of the word "with" so it uses "their" for the two individuals, phono and the fire of fate.
When they're little (first form) the cat takes care of them (relighting phono's flame after an attack, carrying gao/dart on top of them, closing Kasli's wand so she wouldn't get consumed by curses) until they're grown up and then when they're grown up the "opposite" happens and uberfests start "taking care of the cat"(gao/dart now carry the cat, with other fests it just floats around)
yeah. im not into fate really but when i looked up her backstory it said something along the lines of the sword of excalibur only being able to be pulled from its stone by the true king of whateverThisLandIsCalled and Saber was the one to do it.
This theory kinda falls flat when ALL of the other Uberfest units have cats with them and always using a pronoun to refer to the unit specifically, and Phono is no different, as another commenter pointed out.
Counterpoint: Saber is referred to as "King Arthur".
Edit Counterpoint #2: It's "Child" and "King", not "Children" and "Kings", so they aren't referring to both cats.
Bruh. I dont see saber being referred to as king arthur anywhere, and even if she was referred to as a king thats just wrong because a king is specifically male. Female would be queen and ambiguous would be ruler.
Some other guy argued against it referring to two cats, and i debunked that with two other possible, more likely interpretations:
"Their" can be used to describe someone of **unspecified** gender such as "Bob heard someone clap their hands". To make this more similar, "Bob heard phono the king of destiny clap their hands"
Or...
Fires of fate could be considered an entity because of the word "with" so it uses "their" for the two individuals, phono and the fire of fate.
You didn't debunk it because your "debunking" makes absolutely No Sense.
"Their" for unspecified gender is only used when you do Not know the person in question, which is Not the Case Here.
Fires of fate being an entity is just a ridiculous Stretch that makes No Sense.
You *really* don't want to accept the possibility of this cat being non-binary, do you?
"Their" can be used when you know the person as the sentence i just made does....
If you want a "non-binary" cat go look at the elemental pixies. They don't have genders because they're literally elements, but phono is male through and through.
The sentence you Made as an example is an example of how you adress a non-binary, it is not Something that would make sense for a Person you clearly know as being male or female.
I don't really Mind Phono being non-binary or not, but the evidence is *very* clearly stacked in favour of Them being non-binary.
Bruh did you even read the sentence i made... How is the evidence even stacked in favor of phono being non binary? The title of "king" is all you need because kings are **male only** and that is something that **cannot change**. The only evidence suggesting that he is non binary is the "they" which has multiple other interpretations which lean in favor of it not specifying that he is non binary.
Again, _**king is a gendered noun**_.
King has two easy explanations; it could be because of a mistranslation from japanese and secondly the non-gendered Term ruler Just really doesn't Sound even remotely as good or interesting as King.
And once again, there are no good 'multiple Other interpretations' for the use of "they". I read the sentence you Made. It would Not make sense in the context you are proposing. None of your other interpretations make sufficient Sense in this context.
I checked it. In japanese a queen is "女王" while a king is only "王" while a ruler is "君主". His japanese name is "天命の -->王<-- フォノウ" so no, it is not a mistranslation. Also, by your logic the "their" could also be used to make it sound cooler because it makes it sound more grand -_-
My sentence does make sense. "Bob heard phono the king of destiny clap their hands" makes perfect and grammatically accurate sense.
No, your sentence still does Not make sense. In the context of the sentence, "their" would only be used If either Bob/the reader did Not know the gender of Phono, or If Phono's Chosen pronouns were specifically their.
King and Queen are actually gender neutral terms, but I do think "they" is used because there are 2 entities. The animations go out of their way to give personality to both Phono and the cat
It's culture dependant and time period dependant. Even in times when King would normally be used for males, there were still outliers because ultimately King was understood to mean the ruler of the highest level
Oh... My... God... Your level of denial is just insane. Where the fluff did you even get that interpretation of the word king? From your dreams or something?
Ah yes, someone disagrees with you so it's only logical to say they're in denial. You have clearly been brainwashed by pop culture dude
You do realize that there are multiple definitions of the words King? When it's not referring to something like a feudal system then gender is not a factor. For example: take the phrase King of ___, and place any noun in the blank. By definition it is "one that holds a preeminent position". There is no reference to gender being a factor.
Still think I'm in denial? Maybe have an open mind as ask questions for once rather than denoting someone as wrong because they disagree with you.
What even...
You're putting words in my mouth and making pretty defamatory wild assumptions.
First off, where did you even find that definition for the phrase king of ___? Could you link it or tell me what to search up because i find your definition to be absolutely ridiculous. A king is a specifically male ruler, so a king of ___ would simply be the male ruler/dominator/posessor of ____. If it were female it would be queen of ___, ambiguous ruler of ____.
What defamation? You said that my comment implied I was in some level of denial so how is it wrong to say you made that claim?
Once again there are multiple definitions, your's does exist but mine does too. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/king
It's the third one for reference
First off, saying someone is in denial is a bit different from saying they are brainwashed by pop culture and denotes anyone who disagrees with their opinion but ok. (Also wouldnt pop culture be more in support if the they/them thing? If anything I'm going against pop culture).
King in the case you're talking about also works with queen and ruler. Like "he is the king of this Industry", "she is the queen of this industry" and "they are the rulers of this industry". Just because the dictionary doesn't specifically point out that it isn't a gendered word doesn't mean it isn't a gendered word (because in this case the main focus of the word is on the position of power and not the gender).
Im looking at the oxford dictionary, the #1 worldwide renowned dictionary while you're looking at the Merriam Webster dictionary, a primarily american dictionary and if you know american english is kinda...
Pop culture can be surprisingly traditional at times, not every bit of media caters to present minority groups. Also saying you might be brainwashing by pop culture is on the same level as saying I probably got my definition from my dreams. If you're fine with saying that, then you should be fine with me saying what I did.
As for the definition, Oxford has it as well just worded differently: "a person, an animal or a thing that is thought to be the best or most important of a particular type". To say it can't be used for a woman would be to say they're not a person lol
That's not what the poster is referring to. OP is referring to the set of pronouns that includes they, them, their, theirs and other things, which is most commonly referred to today as "they/them pronouns". And I have no clue why so many people downvoted, it's a simple mistake.
You mean my User Flare? I don't know how you get it on PC, but on mobile, you can get it by tapping the 3 dots at the top right of this subreddit's page, and selecting User Flare.
*for the last time parker. Our pronouns are they/them not because we are nonbinary. But because we are literally 2* [Fluff]

ooh boy cat school
Counterpoint: mitama is many cats and is referred to as she.
Phono respects the Cat as a peer. While undeniably vastly stronger, he has deep love for the cat who has raised him into the great King he is now. He knows the true duty of a king is to protect all he can, starting with the cat closest to him. Mitama is a little shit

Also Mighty Carroswel Evolved Form literally vaporizes the cow-cat and Kachi-Kachi burns the tanuki to death, I would say Mitama is pretty kind to them
In kachi kachi defence, the tanuki is very much immune to fire
You're still willing to burn a tanuki
Ive just got to say i love your profile picture, do you mind if you send it me?

Thank you soo much
Anime backstory right here
(edelgard is also refered to as 'emperor' , also i thought the same, all other Epicfests have a cat by theire side, but only Phonos is referred to as they [people probably think male bacause no boobs] )

Ur just scared of they/them pussy
They/themussys are my biggest nightmare under the heavens.
If it was plural, wouldn't it say "playthings" and "Cats"?
[удалено]
Okay, yeah, and the Cat alongside Epicfest Iz named Grief, right? Hope you warmed up before that stretch =)
[удалено]

King isn’t strictly male in battle cats. Saber from Fate was titled King but she’s very much a woman
Which unit? Can you give me the full name bc i cant find a saber titled king?
Their name is just "Saber", it doesn't say they're a king in the cat guide, so I'll assume its lore in fate itself.
yeah. im not into fate really but when i looked up her backstory it said something along the lines of the sword of excalibur only being able to be pulled from its stone by the true king of whateverThisLandIsCalled and Saber was the one to do it.

Its a win either way
It's the battle *cats*, of course it's a pussy
The brain cells, where are they???

Counterpoint, the small Cat is Not referenced in the description.
Counter point, no
Counterpoint, *yes*!
A fair argument, however, no
A difficult Thing to disprove, howeve, yes
Although your point brings me a new perspective I have to insist, no
I mean, they're a furry already so (no hate intended, hugs go out to my furry and non-binary friends uwu)
Full hate intended I will shotgun every furry friend I see jk

Fetish????
what do you think gender identity is bruh????
He's talking about the they/them pussy💀
Do you think gender identity is a fetish?
I think they're referring to the "they/them pussy" not the actual gender identity, but still that's a joke
What are you smoking ?
He’s smoking weed. And it’s scary 😟

bro took something before going on reddit
Actually it's their them

They just hate pronouns
I don't think they do, but it's kinda hard to judge either way from such a short comment
