OK, let's see...from the top:
1. The physical description.
2. The name "King". It's wordplay, and could apply to either Jadeite or
Haruka (Shitennou, Ten'ou).
3. King's presence at what is VERY obviously Mugen Gakuen.
4. The fact that at no point in the *narrative text* is a gender identifier
EVER used for King. The characters refer to Haruka as "Mr. King", and the
"Mr." appeared EXACTLY once in narrative during the introduction--from
Mina's POV, which discredits it as narrative perspective. Everywhere else
King has ever appeared, absolutely no gender-specific pronouns have been
used. You don't go to that kind of trouble unless you're being sneaky, which
is usually a dead giveaway.
