Well Masakage said he wouldn't be surprised if Kyuemon still had some kind of last resort, from what I understood and remember. If that really means he isn't dead or just that he left something big... who knows.

With Kyuemon, just remember- we never saw the body. And if I know my Sentai tropes, he's still out there somewhere.

I think his plot is not resolved as long as we have no face-off with him and Tsumuji and Yoshitaka.

Was I the only one who thought kyuuemon was a girl first time I saw him?

I did. And lets not forget that Kyuuemon is voiced by a female, so I think that just made people think he was a she.

I think we all thought that. Kyuuemon looks very feminine and as Psycho said, he's voiced by a woman also.

Well, Ryushinmu or whatever the hell the green one was called from Gaim was a chick and had a man voicing her.

That's true. And she didn't look relatively feminine at all.

I also had a hard time determining her gender.
