I'm asking what pronouns Foo Fighters uses for herself, or what other
characters use when referring to him/her in the Japanese version of _JoJo's
Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean_. I am aware that he/she's actually
something like a colony of plankton living inside a woman's corpse, and that
the English version elected to use "they/them", but I want to know what
pronouns are used in the Japanese version.

What pronouns are used to refer to Foo Fighters in the Japanese version of Stone Ocean?


They're called "F・F" which is (obviously) abbreviation of Foo Fighters, or
sometimes called as "あんた" which is colloquial version of "あなた", which means
"you".

As far as I remember, they weren't called with pronouns, though Japanese
fanbase sometimes call them as "she/her", though it's quite rare since we also
usually call them as Foo Fighters or F・F.

Side note: In Japanese, there's no words that's equivalent to "they/them", so
we usually call non-binary people as their name or nickname. So, in this case,
"F・F" is the equivalent word of they/them. That might be the reason that
English version used "they/them" as Foo Fighter's pronouns.
