It's none of them, isn't it?
Yes
Iirc, and i could be wrong, but im pretty sure about these:
Top left astolfo: nonbinary, refers to themselves that way Top middle felix: girl, i remember a scene where she was talking to someone else and this is the impression that was left on me Middle middle rimuru(maybe?): never adresses their gender once afaik so im going to guess non binary, but possibly leaning male
I looked into this a bit more, and it seems its a bit contested, especially because light novel vs anime vs translations both dub and sub.
There's this quote, and there are some other things listed here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=81711&type=att
Fascinating. As someone who only watched the anime, I thought they identified as male. Those scenes mentioned where they identify as female were never shown.
It gets addressed. Hes male not allowed to use his male form, so he's stuck using the female form of a good friend. He changes it to be more masculine one to not be a clone of his dead friend he's borrowing the body form. And he can only change it so much.
So it's stuck in the middle. Basically a flat chested androgynous woman.
But because his new body is a genderless slime. Any human form he takes is basically just cosplay.
Rimaru is basically just doing magical crossdressing cosplay with the modified corpse of a very close friend.
The entire thing has very morbid subtext while also being really sweet.
Rimuru was previously male (before being isekaid) but the humanoid body is copied from a woman, but Rimuru goes by male pronouns (at least in the anime).
Does out side the anime too. There's even a whole thing about him wanting but not allowed to use a male form for reasons.
Nah, it's a mix.
