You probably noticed a huge variety of different characters in the main characters. This is done in order to satisfy the maximum number of viewers, and get more views. Each archetype has its own special designation, and today we will talk about one of them, this tsundere which means you can read a little below. In order not to get lost when watching another Japanese animation, it is better to study in advance all kinds of terms and jargon that these cartoons are so rich in. Therefore, be sure to add our site site to your bookmarks so as not to miss useful information.
However, before you continue, I would like to recommend you a couple of news on the subject of anime slang. For example, what does Kodomo mean, how to understand the word Guro, what is Paizuri, what does Maho-shojo mean, etc.
So let's continue what does tsundere mean? This term is borrowed from Japanese ツンデレ ( tsundere), which in turn comes from the word ツンツン ( tsuntsun), which can be translated as "sharp", "indifferent", "closed".

tsundere- this term in anime refers to a heroine who rushes between two moods - deredere ( yearning for love) and tsuntsun ( irritable and aloof)

What does yandere mean?

This concept was originally used to describe characters who at first revealed themselves with a dark side, but over time showed their soft and vulnerable nature. Over the years, this archetype has been generally associated with a hero who is between two emotional states. The first is usually called Classic tsundere, and second - Modern Tsundere.
The reasons for Tsundere's behavior vary widely, but usually come down to a conflict between their feelings of affection and their reactions to those feelings. The Tsundera archetype is very popular among romance anime creators because the conflicts between two personalities can easily be used to create both drama and comedy.

tsundere(ツンデレ) is a term in otaku-moe anime/manga culture. This is a characteristic characteristic of those who express alternating feelings of hatred and love for a particular character. However, the use of the archetype tsundere expanded beyond its literal definition. Now it generally describes any character whose behavior and character in ordinary life is referred to as the word " tsuntsun", and after a while suddenly changes to " deredere A characteristic feature for them is that they stutter and stutter, and often blush in embarrassment when they challenge their feelings.

Tsundere can be divided into two main categories, depending on their mood:

harsh
(or cun): These characters have a Tsundere by default, and it will take some effort for someone to specifically summon a hidden character - a deredere. The intensity of a tsuntsun can range from simple blunt pessimism (Kagami from Lucky Star) to "I have to look and make my way through life" (Louise from Familiar Zero). It is about how much of a single personality is presented to the public, and what character is hidden inside. If Tsundere is the Rival, then she will most likely be stern and tough.
Tsundere tend to react to the actions of chosen people or an unfavorable scenario. soft side" deredere" usually only manifests when someone has acted in such a way as to summon her. In other cases, people see this character using the side " tsuntsun".

Darling(or Dere): These Tsundere have dederare as their default mood. They are sweet, kind and generous, but they also have a hidden aggressive side.

This concept first appeared in 2002. The archetype was made popular by a computer adaptation of an adventure game video " Kimi ga Nozomu Eien"(Restless Hearts). Since then, a large number of concepts have become popular in anime culture that display traits, attitudes, behaviors or actions that illustrate or are somewhat similar to a character tsundere.
Since this is a slang word, there is no clear definition of its meaning. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately identify characters that fall under the definition of a Tsundere. Usually, the meaning of this term, each author will determine in his own way, which introduces additional confusion and confusion.

However, despite some difficulties, this archetype, and certain details associated with it, continue their victorious march around the world. For example, in Japan, in Akihabara ( quarter in Chiyoda, a special district of Tokyo), the first tsundere cafe opened, and other themed foods are also popular.

After reading this article, you finally figured out what is tsundere, and now you can explain this rather vague term to your friends and family.

Ordinary Japanese schoolboy (JaSh)- He most often wears glasses, and large round or square ones. His appearance is the most standard: dark hair, dark eyes, character - even, age - puberty.

An ordinary Japanese student can be in any genre - shonen, mysticism, harem or fantasy, and what is most offensive for unusual Japanese students is that an ordinary Japanese student is most often the main character. He is forced to save the world, or fight off a crowd of girls drying over him (and what do they find in him?), He can be mega-strong, but he doesn’t look like that - glasses and an even, expressionless character interfere. HE blushes at the sight of women's breasts and stutters when he needs to confess his love.

Kawaii/Kawaii- “cute”, “charming”, “pretty”, “glorious”, “amiable”. In Japanese, "kawaii" can also refer to anything that looks small, sometimes having the double meaning of "adorable" and "small". The word can also be used to describe adults displaying childish or naive behavior.

Bishōjo- a term usually referring to young beautiful girls, more often high school girls. In anime and manga, especially among Western otaku, the term can be used to refer to a stereotypical female character - a beautiful young girl, a plot with such characters, a certain style of portraying such characters.

Moe- kawaii characters that cause not just tenderness, but attraction. The term "Moe" itself means adoration (sometimes in the literal sense of the word), almost fetishization, of something or someone from anime manga games. The moe section includes some types, such as meganekko - girls with glasses, pettanko - characters who make a strong accent (or the emphasis is from the side) on their flat chest, dojikko - clumsy girls, and in general there are countless names of appearance and behavior types.

Bishonen- a word denoting an ideally handsome young man. Outside of Japan, otaku is commonly used to refer to a stereotypical male manga and anime character template that is used primarily in the shojo, shounen-ai, or yaoe genres.

A character that falls under the definition of a bishōnen is usually young, femininely beautiful, and does not have pronounced muscles. Often dresses in underlined elegant and impractical clothes, has hair of an unusual color. The nature of bisyonen can be different depending on the plot of the work.

The bishōnen stereotype is very popular among girls, partly due to the emancipation and identification of a feminine man with a free and independent woman, and partly due to the unique concept of beauty in Japanese culture.

Meganekko is a typical anime girl whose difference is that she wears glasses. Quite often there is such a development: if she switches to contact lenses, then everyone and everyone suddenly realizes her beauty.

Megane-kun(Megane-kun) is a boy with glasses.

Bakunyu(bakunyuu) - a design feature that consists in the fact that the heroine of an anime or manga is depicted with deliberately exaggerated (and often beyond the realities of life) breast sizes. The erotic genres of anime are richest in such artistic techniques.

Maid(maids, meido) - a maid. One of the typical designs for anime heroines, designed to go with the "sexy handmaid" look. This phenomenon eventually became so widespread in the anime industry that entire series devoted entirely to the theme of maids began to appear (for example, He is My Master and Hanaukyo Maids Team), thereby making meido almost a full-fledged subgenre of anime and manga.

Chibi(Chibi) - a style depicting people in a reduced, compared to normal, form. An integral feature of the style is disproportion - an enlarged head and eyes, shortened arms and legs, sometimes without hands and fingers. Drawing the emotions of such characters is also greatly simplified. Chibiks are very similar to children, as a result of which just children are also called chibis.

Kemonomimi(Kemonomimi) - literally "animal ears". A drawing style in which people have ears (sometimes a tail, less often paws, noses, etc.) of a certain animal. For example, Nekomimi is a girl (or guy) with cat ears, Kitsunemimi is with fox ears, etc.

tsundere(Tsundere) - the word comes from tsuntsun (tsuntsun), which means disgust, and deredere (deredere), which means love. Such characters initially appear as unpleasant, often narcissistic and selfish (have you ever seen the so-called “princesses”, ojou-sama, girls from wealthy families in anime) types, but throughout the plot they reveal a “bright”, good side in themselves character, in most cases - under the influence of the object of love. They initially eschew this very object and in every possible way make it clear their disgust for him, but the disguise sooner or later collapses. This is the classic definition of a tsundere. Non-classical tsunderes can be similar to ordinary, unremarkable people, but they give out a type, abruptly losing their temper at the slightest incitement, or upon contact with the notorious object of love.

Maho-shoujo- "Magic Girl" The main plot feature of maho-shojo is the main character - a girl, or a young girl who has some kind of supernatural abilities that she uses to fight evil, protect the Earth, weak and similar actions. Sometimes there are several girls with different abilities and usually working in the same team. The most characteristic representatives of this subgenre of manga and anime are Sailor Moon (the first series where there are several such characters), Cardcaptor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew, Magic Knight Rayearth, Pretty Sammy and Futari wa Pretty Cure . The first mahou shoujo anime series was Mahou Tsukai Sally, released in 1966. Magical girls are also known in Japan as majokko or "witch girls".

There is also a similar subgenre maho shonen ("boy magicians"), where similar lines are used, with a changed gender orientation, that is, the main character is a young man (as an example, one can name "DNAngel"), however, it is much less often used as the main storyline. lines.

It is also necessary to distinguish the maho-shojo genre from the subgenre maho kanojo (“magic girlfriend”), where the main character is a boy or a young man whose girl has supernatural abilities.

yandere(Yandere) - short for yanderu deredere, "yandere" means, to be as precise as possible, "sick" (on the head). In general, "crazy (th) deredere." I’ll ask you to immediately understand that it’s not hysterical (th), but crazy (th)! These are different things.

Actually, the essence of the yandere lies in excessive attachment to the object of love, reaching fanaticism. So to speak, the reverse side of the tsundere. Such characters in their normal state (in the classical definition) are quite cute and indistinguishable from deredere, but when they try to entangle them in romance, they begin to go crazy, pursue the object of love and be jealous of him/her for everything that moves. Well, of course, try to please him / her in everything. In general, classic yandere are paranoid sticks. And do not let Yami-sama try to change them - in their classic definition, they will immediately pull their hands to sharp objects.

The non-classical definition of a yandere is a little (or a lot) crazy deredere. They may consider themselves non-humans, behave in a strange way, but it all revolves around the opposite sex. If a girl shies away from guys and does not miss a chance to beat them in self-defense, then this is also a yandere.

tsunaho(Tsunaho), alternatively called tsunbaka (Tsunbaka) or more neutrally - tsundoji (Tsundoji), is a special kind of tsundere, which can be briefly described as "tsundere poseur". This type is really trying to be bad, but due to the innate clumsiness and stupidity, he always confuses everything, drops things and generally behaves more than comically. It's not good, of course, to laugh at other people's problems, but there's nothing you can do about it, really.

Zuntere(Tsuntere) is a more overt form of tsundere. "Tereru", tereru means "shy". In other words, a tsundere, which (and sometimes, and which!) Can't be cold until the very end and no, no, yes, it will give out your feelings. It happens because the type has shyness enough to open the deredere side.

Tsundora(Tsundora) literally means "tundra", which is with snow and forest. This is a more closed and negative type of character, inhospitable, like a tundra. Awakening the deredere side of this type is very, very difficult.

Tsungire(Tsungire) - an even more dangerous type of tsundere, called by analogy with "kireru" (kireru), which means - a short circuit. It is dangerous because if you do not bring it to the tsuntsun side, then you are better off. Because if you bring it, it can break loose and make a tantrum. They should not be confused with the subsequent type of yandere, because hysteria and half-wit are two different things. Opening the dereder side of this type is not difficult - you just need to calmly do it without unnecessary movements, and then the problems will go away by themselves. If you do not do this - the hysteria is guaranteed. Sekai from School Days fits the description even though she is larger than a yangire.

tsuntsun(Tsuntsun) in this interpretation will mean an uncommunicative misanthrope who is not really going to become kind. Such characters rarely come across, but, which is typical, all villains who have not gone over to the side of good (Lawful - Neutral - Chaotic Evil) fall under the definition with amazing accuracy.

Deredere(Deredere) respectively will mean a kind and sweet character, a little modest and moderately optimistic. There are many of them, at least one bishojo game will have one like this. Yes, and among the guys such a dime a dozen. You just have to be careful in the classification, or you will be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a slow type or the same tsundere.

Couderet(Kuudere), which is an abbreviated anglicism cool deredere (cool meaning "cool") - this is not such an old word, meaning a cold-blooded and indifferent type. Have you ever seen characters sitting with a book in the corner, not communicating with anyone, or vice versa, inserting their weighty “fi” into everything that is happening around them, and always in the right place? This is what kudere is. Often smart (although due to the characteristics of the type, they are not very - but only because they suffer from chronic laziness) and the deredere side is revealed only if such a character likes you. Again, this type is not devoid of emotions, but it firmly holds them in itself and does not show them outwardly. However, if these fetters are loosened, the coudere may burst into tears or laugh quite calmly. Couderé is often painted with blue hair, this is a kind of stamp.

Dandera(Dandere) - abbreviated danmari deredere, which means "shy / th deredere." Danmari itself means "silence", but the reasons for the silence of the dandere are different from those of the kuudere. Dandere is silent only because he is shy. Yes, this is a type of sociophobes who are closed in themselves only because they are shy, but would like to be sociable. Usually, upon contact with a certain character, for the most part - with an object of love, they become quite ordinary derederes, but even in this case, stiffness and shyness will remain. But do not think that a dandere cannot be angered, no - if you do this, you can even regret it, since the accumulated emotions can go wrong and with unpredictable consequences.

Yangir(Yangire) is built by analogy with tsungire. But here hysteria is superimposed on half-wittedness, and it turns out walking Armageddon. Senseless and merciless maniacs who can turn their minds absolutely from scratch. Characters such as often yandere come with a dark past. But if you try hard, you can endure communication with such a type, only the game in this case is not worth the candle, and it is nowhere easier to close such a type. It's best not to touch it at all.

In general, by the same analogy, one can observe the yanbaku, which will do everything awry. But that's a little non-canonical. However, who cares about the canons?

genki(Genki) are optimistic and hyperactive characters. As a rule, they are the center of the company, make friends quickly, are extroverts and again are divided into two branches. The first type of genk is a more or less quick-witted type, we will simply call them "smart genks", who, in addition to being hyperactive, manage to think at the speed of action. And as for the second type, we will call them “tanks-genks”, then you have all seen them - these are crazy clumps of energy blowing everything in a row. However, tanka-genks do not always have to be really idiots, some of them have a very good mind, but they just think, to put it mildly, especially.

They just grab their heads, trying to somehow classify anime characters by personality type. However, this occupation is difficult, and in some places even ungrateful. Therefore, on our favorite site, the site, we decided to make a selection of the most frequently encountered characters. Do not forget to bookmark us, because we will have a lot more sensible information. Today we will talk about another character, which is called Deredere which means you will read below.
However, before you continue, I would like to advise you to read a couple of other news on the subject of anime slang. For example, what does Yuri mean, how to understand the word Moe, what is the difference between Sam, Sam, Kun and Chan, what is Kamikoros, etc.
So let's continue what does deredere mean?

Dendera- this is a sweet, kind character, moderately optimistic and modest.

Deredere is a hero who is completely kind, happy and energetic. Regardless of what happened, they are able to return to their cheerful self very quickly.

In other words, a character who is Deredere, a very sweet and energetic person whose archetype is centered around their love for one character. This distinguishes them from other archetypes such as Tsundere or Yandere. When they are truly in love with someone, they are still able to develop their personality characteristics apart from their adoration, and direct their activities in a different direction. For example, a Yandere character will still be able to perform actions that are completely selfish in nature. In their love, they are able to do something that can harm anyone who comes close to their loved one, or even kidnap him so that only they get it.

Similar heroes are a dime a dozen in any in any anime. In addition, this type of personality is quite common in male characters. Although, you still need to be careful about the classification, or otherwise, you may be in for a rather unpleasant surprise in the form of Yandere or Tsundere.

However, do not worry too much, because for now Dendera will be happy, he will not raise "kipish" around him. In the end, this hero becomes a "vanilla" option, which, by the way, is not so bad. After all, there is nothing better than a sweet girl in love who tries her best to be close to her loved one. And most importantly, it is also pleasant for the viewer to realize that she will not suddenly turn into a cold-blooded killer who will cut everyone to pieces. As a result, direct and honest relationships remain, colored with a veil of romantic emotions and feelings.

By the way, this is the only type that does not have a prefix to the base root " Dere".
There are other archetypes that follow the same naming convention like Dandere, Yandere, or Kudere. They are well known to anyone who has watched anime for a while. The type we are studying today is less well known and is called Deredere. The term is so odd that it looks more like a spelling mistake than a word used to describe a character. After all, the logic behind the name Tsundere or Kudere is that it thus identifies the character with a romantic component. Therefore, Kudere will mean a character who is in love with the protagonist, but at the same time can do bold and risky things.

By reading this article, you have learned what does deredere mean anime, and you will no longer get into trouble if you stumble upon this word again.

!Some characters combine several types of character at once.

The type of character is not always immediately clear.

Contrary to popular belief, the classification of character types does not apply only to female characters. Yes, there are MOEs for boys too!

Main character types:

1. Tsundere (ツンデレ). The word comes from tsuntsun (ツンツン), which means disgust, and deredere (デレデレ), which means falling in love. One of the most beloved otaku type of characters, often moei (more on that below). These characters are often at first harmful and narcissistic, sometimes even unpleasant personalities (more than half of the girls with rich parents, for example), but in the process of plot development it always turns out that many good qualities are hidden under the harmfulness. Most often they appear when the character is in love. At the same time, the very object of their love is rejected by them, but in the end they have to admit their feelings.
There are also several subspecies of the tsundere:

Tsunaho (ツンアホ), alternatively called tsunbaka (ツンばか) or more neutrally tsundoji (ツンドジ)
These characters really want to appear bad, but because of clumsiness, and often narrow-mindedness, they always confuse everything, drop things, fall themselves and generally behave comically.

Tsuntere (ツン照れ) is a more open (and moe-like) tsundere. "Tereru", tereru (照れる) means "shy". That is, a tsundere who tries to appear cold and unapproachable, but due to his own shyness (and moe) sometimes gives out real feelings. Thus, it becomes clear that the character is actually a deredere.

Tsundora (ツンドラ) literally means "tundra". This is the most reserved and gloomy type.
character, ice. It is very difficult to force such a character to show his "deredere-I".

Tsungire (ツン切れ) is the most dangerous type of tsundere, named after "kireru" (kireru, 切れる) - short circuit. If you make this character angry, then ... better not. At first glance, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish a tsungire from a yandere, but a flash of rage and madness are still different things.

2. Kuudere (くーデレ), comes from English cool and Japanese deredere, a word called cold-blooded and indifferent characters. Often they sit somewhere far away from the rest with a book and do not communicate with anyone. Often they can be distinguished by blue hair, but not always. So, the couderes are silent, but only because they do not want to talk to anyone, because of their arrogance.

3. Dandere (ダンデレ) - abbreviated danmari deredere (だんまりデレデレ), which means "shy/th deredere". Danmari (だんまり) means "silence", but the dandere is silent not because he (or she) wants to, but because he is terribly shy. These are real sociophobes, closed and distrustful. Most often, the "deredere-ya" is revealed upon contact with the object of love.

4. Yandere (ヤンデレ) - short for yanderu deredere (病んでるデレデレ), "yandere" (病んでる) means "sick". In short, this is a crazy "deredere". Yandere characters are as popular with otaku as tsundere.
Yandere are attached to the object of their love very strongly, to the point of idolatry. These are typical fans (and fangirls). In their normal state, yanderes are indistinguishable from derederes, but when they fall in love, they turn into psychos, and you should not get in their way at this moment, because they often pick up sharp objects.

5. Yangire (ヤン切れ) - A subspecies of the yandere, they are both insane and short-tempered. Such a character, in order to become a maniac, usually does not need a special reason in the form of love. Often they have some dark, unpleasant secret from the past hiding in their closet.

6. Genki (元気) - optimistic, always happy and hyperactive
characters. Such a character is the "soul" of the company.
There are two types of genks - smart and not so smart. Smart genks think as fast as they act. Characters of the second type are also energetic, but at the same time they often do comical follies.

Oh yes, MOE!

The word "moe" (萌え) means "sprout", meaning a fragile girl who needs (and wants to!) take care of.
The word in culture means a fetish of appearance/behavior. All the character stereotypes described above also refer to the concept of "moe". For a long time it was believed (and is still often considered) that only girls can be moei. But! Moe can be a guy, although much less often. Isn't Italy-kun from Hetalia an example of this?
Moekko (萌え娘) is a girl with moei features. Moekko are again of several types.
Meganekko (メガネっ娘) is a girl with glasses.
Bokukko (ぼく娘) is an energetic tomboy.
Pettanko (ぺったんこ) is a child girl with a flat chest, which she usually suffers a lot from. Well, or not suffer.
Bakunyu (爆乳) - a girl with large breasts, the object of pettanko envy.
Dojikko (ドジ娘) is a clumsy girl.

Hello everyone, I want to tell you about all types of trees, there are only 18 of them. I’m sure that most of them didn’t even suspect that there were so many of them. I immediately say almost all the terms in the list are universal, some of them simply don’t fit the type of male because they are not often found, but the fact remains fact.
