I am a bit puzzled on what to do about Armor Knights. Officially, both male and female are "Armor Knight", with no distinction between genders. The "Heavy Knight" term we use for the male is only used as the class for the Overall in Disgaea 2, D3 onward refers to him as "Armor Knight".

So what's the big deal? Unlike other "gender equivalent" classes, both Armor Knights have the exact same lore and they haven't appeared in a game together, giving the impression that the female class has flat out replaced the male class. I don't know how they match up in terms of stats, but they share at least one Evility as well.

(for the record, the only other class I can think of to be the sole version of a returning class but a different gender than in prior, the Male Samurai, still had different lore and attributes from the female from the get go, and the Lady Samurai reappeared pretty quickly anyway)

So my question: Do we continue to have them separate, or do we treat them as the same class, just with a gender change for DD2 and D5?
