Kuudere: Difference between revisions

** Japan is most likely one too. He [[Perpetual Frowner|shows little emotion on his face]], he remains [[The Stoic|relatively stoic]] [[That Makes Me Feel Angry|even when angry]], and he's pretty much the epitome of [[Inscrutable Oriental]] overall... but he genuinely cares for his friends and tries his best to get along with them even when they confuse or baffle him, and you get the feeling that his excessive politeness and seeming indifference at times are more a product of him not quite knowing how to deal with others with personalities vastly different from his own than him being condescending or disdainful toward them. Not to mention him maintaining close relationships with both America, in spite of his [[Idiot Hero|often patience-testing]] [[Large Ham|personality]], and Greece, with whom he shares a [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|love of cats]].

* Shizuru Kuwabara from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.

* [[Dark Magical Girl]] Fate, particularly during season 1 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. Later seasons has her "dere" part coming out more, with the "cool" part being reserved for combat.

** Quite a few [[Dark Magical Girl]]s could probably qualify for this trope.

* Erza Scarlet from ''[[Fairy Tail]]''.

* A literal Ice Princess, Mizore from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]''. Very stoic and emotionless unless the situation demands it. If she becomes emotional, she either considers you a close friend or you're about to get your ass handed to you. (Outside of the Flower Offering arc, where it came in the form of an emotional breakdown.)

* Trip/Shooti from ''[[Pokémon|Pokémon Best Wishes]]'' is a huge type 3 Kuudere. Seems to be a [[Jerkass]] until you realize that he does have a heart in recent episodes where he helps Ash move the Venipede to a safer location. The minute Ash tries to congratulate him, Trip instantly avoids eye contact. Later appearances tone down his [[Jerkass]] attitude before it's completely a [[Jerkass Facade]] that is more annoyed at Ash than anything else. Recent appearances have him ignore Ash when he could clearly see Ash through his camera. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Cue Ash's expression of shock of being ignored.]]

* Homura Akemi from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' is a big example of a Type 2 Kuudere. When we first meet her, she acts quite cold, and is very cynical in regards to being a [[Magical Girl]]. But as the series goes on and the [[Awful Truth]]s about actually being a magical girl come out and we get more emotional reactions from her, it becomes quite clear that she's in this to protect Madoka. And then comes [[Origins Issue|episode 10]], where we find out just ''WHY'' Homura is this way. [[Broken Bird|Dear]] [[Tear Jerker|God]], [[The Woobie|Homura...]]
