-Hayate was in a coma from being nearly killed by an energy blast from one of the strongest ninjas in their village. Getting captured while you're comatose doesn't take away points from masculinity.
-I'll give you those outfits. But he's also worn Black Trenchcoats, Bluejean vests and pants, Badass Ninja suits
without flower patterns on them and business suits with
CAPES. He's definitely had some outfits that take away from his masculinity but he definitely got some points with his good outfits too.
- Hayate never boned Hitomi, but who said anything about Ein?
Just looked him up,
NO.
Some of his outfits are less than masculine, never did I get a stripper/gay vibe from Ein.
A no nonsense Karate fighter/instructor who enjoys combat and trying to get his memory back is fine as a personality, it's basically no different from Rig's fake amnesiac persona.
If personality has anything to do with being effeminate, Ein's does nothing to suggest that.
