Imagine the millions of shekels Oda is throwing away if he makes Imu a man. If he makes her a tanned, big-titted woman with a psychotic element but who also does cutesy things sometimes, the merchandise - especially hot-glueable figurines - will fly off the shelves and the shekels will fly into his pockets. That, above all else, is why you should expect Imu to be a woman.
