** The ''[[Love Hina]]'' anime turned this into a running gag, as Naru's simple reprimandings start becoming physically ridiculous. Her tsundere side was, basically, even MORE exaggerated than Akane Tendo's, to the point that ''[[Love Hina]] fans sometimes have to WARN newbies about her''.
*** Certain fans around the internet believe that Naru's anime incarnation actually counts as a "Failed Tsundere", or rather, [[Character Derailment|a failure at trying to be one.]] She's so overly violent to the very extreme ends of Type A, that it's almost impossible for her character to even come to terms with the fact that she has a crush on Keitaro.
** Louise Francoise Leblanc de La Vallière from ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero|Familiar of Zero]]'' takes it [[Up to Eleven]]. Her abuse of Saito becomes so horrible that unlike most other Tsunderes, in the second light novel she actually ''does'' get called out on this when, instead of using her normal whip to "Punish" Saito, she uses an actual ''bullwhip'' to knock out an already battle-weary Saito from the night before. It's understandable why many people have been turned off by the Tsundere as a whole due to characters like her, and why many fans of the Tsundere archetype are ''very'' put off by her.
** In fact, pretty much ''all'' tsundere characters suffer from Character Exaggeration in [[Fan Fiction]] to some extent. Fans will either take her 'tsun' side [[Up to Eleven]] to turn her into a [[Tsundere Sue]] (if genuinely like her character but don't seem to realize the difference between "tsundere" and "raging bitch") or an [[Ax Crazy]] psycho (if they don't like her or want her to [[Die for Our Ship]]), or take her 'dere' side to similar extremes to turn her into a complete saint (usually as a backlash against the former camp). Akane Tendo is the most famous victim of this process, but she's ''far'' from the only one.
* ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'' was also victim of this, due to the [[Galaxy Angel (video game|game]] it was supposed to be based on being repeatedly delayed until it came out only shortly before the first season ''ended''—they didn't have much to go on other than a basic outline because of these problems, and decided to exaggerate all the character personalities for comedy and turn it into a parody to deal with the problem.
