Dere Battle 2009 ~ A battle between Tsun VS Yan VS Dan VS Kuu Dere
 

SWEET a link to a Indonesian Chat Room.
Awesome, I am just gonna go talk gibberish and pretend to blend in

I don't know what Kuudere is supposed to mean, but it sounds damn cute.

*snatches Fate and walks away...slowly.*

Kuudere mean Cool + deredere:heh:

Wish there was some English explanation about how to vote, and when do you know your vote counted.

lol i kinda lol'd at a few classifications, but uhm

Eve is a Dandere and Yami is a tsundere? they are pretty much identical characters, and i find Yami more of a Dandere then a tsundere if i am thinking of what dandere means correctly <_>

and lol @ Nanoha Takamichi (Mahou Shojo Lyrical Nanoha) - Yandere

for one her last name is spelt wrong i believe and lolwut @ yandere <_>

Really wish I could vote... only i don't understand the language.... :p

So I tried to vote...and failed horrible.

I require a explanation here.

What does Tsundere, Yandere, Dandere, and Kuudere mean?

It should be noted that some yandere are discutable.

Yandere's motive for her "yan" mode (anger, harming someone or killing someone) is triggered by her sentiments toward her love interest. For anyone else who snapped for another motive, "yangire" is a more appropriate term.



Rena: Her killing spree in the last arc of S1 is triggered by self-defense and the feeling that she is protecting her family (the murders of Rina and Satoko's uncle, the first was done as self-defense, and the uncle was killed because he had to be eliminated so he would stop harassing her father). Yandere? No. Yangire. Yes.



Shion Sonozaki: She have gone that way because of Satoshi. Definitely a yandere.

Nanoha, definitely yangire. Her white devil mode was triggered by disappointment toward Teana.

Okay. So what is Dandere and Kuudere?

I hope this will help you.

Personally, my favorite modes are yandere and kuudere. I have gotten sick of tsundere.

Okay. Thanks

Huh... a LOT of characters "dere" titles are very debatable:

-Ayase Yue: she isn't "dead silent" or so. She often discusses with Paru and Honya. But she indeed keep a stoic expression most of the tume. Kuudere would largely be more logical here.

-Aoi Sena: she is definitely a Tsundere, not kuudere. She keeps a cold and aggressive behaviour and speech towards people and "warms up" for few stuff, such like her usual popice etc. It is even more noticeable in the game.

-Sonozaki Mion: none of the aforementioned dere.

-Eve (Black Cat) and Yami (To-Love-ru): both are almost the same, and they have hardly any issue in term of discussing or cold behaviour. Both should be Kuudere instead.

-Melissa Mao: absolutely none of the aforementioned dere. She is playful, often chatting with Tessa, Sousuke, Kurz, Kaname etc. Very easy going but serious at times. She is more normal than any "flip/dual" type.

-Miyazaki Miyako: none of the aforementioned type. Miyako is originally violent and often in bad mood. But here dere is only to prevent Dan to realize her true personality. Even if she isn't faking her feelings, her sugar behaviour isn't a switch, but rather a specific pattern for Dan only. So she it not a yandere (since she doesn't go batshit crazy for dan's sake) nor Tsundere.

-Ryuuguu Rena: as explained by Sheba, not a yandere. Yangire instead (and even that might be debatable considering the reason behind that).

-Nagi and Horo: these are peculiar, but I can't call them kuudere because of their overly friendly, but get sharp and blunt with their "god" side. They are a very peculiar type of Tsundere instead (Deretsun might be better to call that). They are certainly not Kuudere.

-Miyazaki Nodoka: err. no, just no. She is simply your usual "shy" type of girl, who has hard time to talk with people that she isn't accustomed to. The rest of the time, she is basically your staple nervous girl, but certainly not mute or void of emotions.

-Ichinose Kotomi: Kotomi is not the kind of expressionless and/or mute character. Rather, she is plainly a "my pace character" that is hard to follow because they are usually a bit "odd" with some quircks. Well, it is debatable.

-Shindo Chihiro: see Nodoka's decription

-Miyamura Miyako: heck no, she isn't a tsundere at all. She is basically assaulting Hiro. She is basically the genki and straightforward girl, with some unsecure feelings shown much later for obvious reason. Nowhere close to tsundere.


More characters are debatable (such like Ryougi Shiki, Azaka, etc) but the one mentioned really need a fix.
Oh and yeah, Nanoha's "yandere" meme is not exactly funny anymore...

Wow, this is weird yet unique at the same time.

Nanoha didn't snap in that scene. She was showing Teana what happens when you do something stupid in battle. Let's not forget Teana was freaking out at that point as well, preparing another attack. Nanoha didn't hurt Teana, and was careful to stop her fall. Her actions showed she was in complete control of the situation, even if she may have dealt with it a bit harshly. Unfortunately, the animation work was sub-par for StrikerS, and Nanoha's expression in that scene didn't really fit. This is a case of poor animation leading to fanon overtaking the actual canon. Neither yandere nor yangire fits Nanoha.

How about "Goddere"? Kyouka Midarezaki should have something to say...

Man, I really wish this contest included manga characters. Yuno would slaughter everyone, bad pun intended. :heh:

But yeah, I do not agree with some of the above categorizations. Nanoha is not a yandere.

And Anya isn't an anything-dere. She may be quiet and everything required for Dan-dere, but she's not the "dere" part. She's basically an unemotional brick. D=

Well, I voted earlier today for Kallen. And just now for Saber (Timezone change is win)
