> Ah, alright, so basically, "Japan isn't progressive, therefore trans characters don't exist in Japanese media", flawless logic, I'm sure you also think Lily Hoshikawa is a trap and Grell Sutcliff is a gay cis man.

Oh for sure not. While I'm not caught up on ZLS and the show Grell is from, the stuff that was said in Zombieland Saga is just a bonafide fact. Lily Hoshikawa is trans and there's no case against that.

Luka, on the other hand, doesn't really have a case saying he *is*, and I feel you're ignoring the in-universe explanation here. Luka uses a strictly masculine way of referring to himself, even when the biology says otherwise. If we're gonna go by overanalysis, that would be an indication of dysphoria over being female.

I'm also gonna re-iterate the fact that Steins;Gate 0's anime adaptation included a "but he's a guy" joke that wasn't present in the Visual Novel. And as I've reiterated so many other times, the character song (sung in-character by the voice actress, intending to portray Luka's feelings in a song), literally states that Luka couldn't give a damn about his gender. He just wants to be together with the person that saved him, and the person he loves, that being Okabe.
