Tsundere/Analysis: Difference between revisions

 

# '''[[Kuudere|The Cold Shoulder]]:''' In employing this tactic, the tsundere resolves to not give the man in question the time of day. If she does talk to him, responses will be monosyllabic. Pointedly ignoring him in conversation and disdainful looks round out the total freeze that she will lay on the hapless fellow. Example of a tsundere who favors this tactic: ''[[Genshiken]]''{{'}}s Chika Ogiue. If the Tsundere uses these tactics exclusively, she might be labeled a [[Kuudere]] ("cool-dere").

# '''[[I Shall Taunt You|The Taunt]]:''' Not as common a tactic, but effective in its own right, is for the tsundere to constantly belittle the love interest with insults and putdowns. Favorite expressions include "[[Baka]]!", and "Urusai!" ("Shut up!"). A Tsundere who knows the guy's point of pride will not hesitate to insult him on that account, and when this tactic is employed nothing the guy can do will be good enough to impress her. If they have [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], [[Volleying Insults]] often occur. This kind of tsundere might be vulnerable to a [["Shut Up" Kiss]]. Example of a tsundere who favors this tactic: ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''{{'}}s Asuka Langley Soryuu. If the belittling is limited to [[Deadpan Snarker|witty snark]] without blatant insults, then she might be included in the [[Kuudere]] subtype.

# '''Tyrannical Rule:''' While the above three forms of hostile behavior can be the result of anything, from [[No Social Skills]], to awkwardly expressed emotions, sometimes it's made clear that they are just a bossy type of person, who likes to ''dominate'' their partner, like a slave-owner. A common trait among [[Shana Clone]]s.
