I agree. I personally don't really feel as if there is a lack of female characters in the series since the ones who are in the manga are so well written and deep. Plus there are also many male characters who died like Mado, Yamori, the Bin Brothers, Gagi and Guge, probably Koma and so on. Ishida could have created males characters for the roles of Hairu and Matsumae. They would have filled the role just as well. In that way we would have had two more male characters killed off but we wouldn't have seen two strong women fighting each Others and showing their strength. We would have had the cliche figures of the prodigy Young boy who is too hotblooded and the prideful knight of the family who of course had to be male. I liked the fact that the two strongest warriors of each side were women and that they had leadership skills and were the one in charge. Better have two good female characters who died rather than a Group of useless female characters who survive by doing nothing and who have no characterization at all.
