Introduction:
Reby is a bad-ass girl with a violent past. She is as unlady-like as possible. Her usual attire is a tight black top with jeans cut off at the thigh. She curses, drinks alcohol, fights and smokes. In short, she is the perfect bad girl for a hormonal young male.
However, I have undeniable evidence that Reby has no interest in men and have some clues pointing to who she fancies. This would require the reader to be familiar with Black Lagoon and Mariasama ga Miteru series specifically the anime versions. (Mariasama ga Miteru is sometimes abbreviated as Marimite.) References will be provided at the end of the post.
- Aim:
To show who Reby is really interested in.
Clue#1 ~ Reby’s relationship with Eda
They drink together and have girl-talks[1]. Although they have been together before, this scene makes the first time they have been alone together, just the two of them. Eda even checks her sexual orientation by asking about her and Rock! When discovered that Reby and Rock are not a couple, this leaves the two of them alone in a hot and steamy church. Things might have went further but they were interrupted by the fugitive forger and subsequently Mister Elvis.
Clue#2 ~ Her previous reincarnation
Reby says “Gokigen” to Dutch when they are on board the torpedo boat[2]. Gokigen is such a classy word from her previous life[3] as Sei. Who? Sei Satou is a lesbian from Marimite who loved a Sister[4,5]! What is the most well-known quote from Marimite? Gokigenyou[6]! Even the official Mariasama ga Miteru website uses this phrase as its domain name.
Conclusion:
Reby is les for Sister Eda. Amen.

If Revy is gay for anyone it’s Balalaika. C’mon, how obvious can it be.

Honestly if Revy is a lesbian i will eat my own shoe, the same reference you mention in clue #1 can be used against it she get up on her heals telling Eda that there is nothing going on between her and Rock. At the end of second barrage she seems to have deep emotional liking toward Rock and wanting to protect him.
To be honest there is only one thing Revy loves and it’s:
her stainless steel 9 mm Beretta M92F “Sword Cutlass Special” pistols

i highly doubt that Revy is a lesbian. in fact, I think the creator knows it would suck a bit for the fans if she was…however. In the last published chapter that i read online (81) Revy tells the now nymphomaniac woman Greenback Jane (yes, she’s back) after Jane brings up Rock, that if she wants someone else that badly that she’ll take his place. That in Prison she became the man and made it so that the other girls (she says dykes) fingers were never enough after an encounter with her. 2 things though. 1. that was prison, i suppose it was easier for her to adjust. 2 is that u can see she’s telling Jane this very close with that sadistic blank-like face she puts on. It quite possibly was just too scare Jane shitless for even mentioning Rock in that way. But I’ll leave that up to you guys
