Line 20:
*** However, as of "African Lying Society", Heather and Alejandro are ''both'' tsundere for each other!
*** And finally, it's subverted in the last episode: {{spoiler|Heather's tsun side is real, but [[Manipulative Bitch|it's clearly exaggerated to make way for a fake love confessional.]]}}
* Murderface from ''[[Metalocalypse]]''. Oftentimes he is rude, crude, and disrespectful to his band mates and the world around him, but occasionally becomes emotional and insecure of himself (especially in {{spoiler|Performanceklok}} and {{spoiler|Birthdayface}}). Creator Brendon Small describes Murderface as, "a self-hating bass player [...] thin-skinned and incredibly sensitive and just wants to be accepted constantly but can't get that because he's such a dick and pushes people away".

* Some fans believe that this is the hidden behavior of Trixie Tang toward Timmy Turner in ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]''.
** In fact, in the episode ''Manic Mom-Day'' she truly behaves as a tsundere.
Line 68:
* Velma in ''[[Scooby Doo Mystery Inc]]'' has become this, being sweet and romantic when she's alone with Shaggy but then becoming aloof and irritated when Scooby horns in.
* Zuko from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' is something of a prickly [[Jerkass]] most of the time, but has a soft, dorky center that he pretty much only shows around his [[Sugar and Ice]] girlfriend Mai.
* Duncan from ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' is Tsun-Tsun to nearly everybody, but dere-dere to Gwen and Courtney (untill the third season where he is more Tsun-Tsun to her than anybody else.)
* [[Only Sane Man|Abigail aka Numbuh Five]] from ''[[Kids Next Door]]'' is usually very laidback, but tends to be very "tsun" with the people she loves most, namely [[Official Couple|Numbuh Two]]/[[Pungeon Master|Hoagie]] and [[Arch Enemy|her]] [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry|older]] [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|sister]].
* Non-romantic examples: [[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan|Anne Chan]] is a mild Type B: Her dere-dere side is laid back and a [[Plucky Girl]] and her tsun-tsun is argumentative and competitive (especially around Tom and Alan). Henry is also a mild Type A when it comes to [[Straight Man and Wise Guy|Stanley]].
* Non-romantic example (most of the time): Spinelli from ''[[Recess]]'' is (usually) dere-dere towards the other five main kids, but tsun-tsun to everyone else. Also, she's the most dere-dere with T.J., whom it's hinted she has a crush on...
* ''[[Shuriken School]]'' has the main three female characters being different types:
** [[Badass Bookworm|Okuni]] is a Harsh Type, taking cues from [[Naruto|Sakura]] and [[Ranma ½|Akane]]. She has an ''extremely'' [[Hair-Trigger Temper|short fuse]] mostly triggered by her comrades' stupidity, but she's a kind and reasonable girl when not upset. This is especially evident when around [[The Hero|Eizan]], whom she has a crush on yet vehemently denies it when pointed out.
** [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|Ami]] is a Sweet Type, being usually nice (if vain) yet having a mean streak usually directed at [[Casanova Wannabe|Daisuke]].
** [[Stern Teacher|Kita-sensei]] takes a middle ground to the above two, being a [[Mood Swinger]] who can turn from sweet to harsh at the drop of a hat.
