Tsundere/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

** Courtney also is a good example, although she can be somewhat nice, henceforth why she's also listed in Type B. She instantly takes a loathing for Duncan, yet she ends up [[Sleep Cute|falling asleep next to him]] in the Sucky Outdoors, and then kisses him in Basic Straining. After that, the tsundere aspect is greatly diminished after Courtney's Total Drama Action [[Took a Level in Jerkass|taking a level in jerkass.]]Then the Thundere act is compeletely dropped in ''World Tour'. She actually becomes more of a Yandere as an example of [[Derailing Love Interests]] so the writers can pair Duncan with Gwen.

*** Heather during ''World Tour'' is a perfect example of the Type A, going for the cold shoulder and insults towards Alejandro. She's even denying she likes him to Chef, and then stating in another (empty) confessional that he's "just ''so... perfect'''!"

*** 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 ~~Odd Parents~~]]''.

* 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.

* This was the personality given to Zelda in the animated ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|Legend of Zelda]]'', although usually only when dealing with [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Link]].

* [[Cute Monster Girl]] Callie Maggotbone on ''[[Ugly Americans]]'' is a ''chaotic'' type A.

** Shes working on it

* Ren from ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' is one towards his best friend and [[Ho Yay|life partner]] Stimpy. Less so in the first episodes, where apart from Ren's occasional and usually justified insults, the vitriolic part of their relationship is barely visible. But, oddly for tsunderes, his positive/neutral attitude goes downhill as episodes pass. In ''Adult Party Cartoon'', [[Flanderization|he turns into a]] [[Complete Monster]] (at least, in some episodes, where it was intended as [[Rule of Funny]], but turned out very much [[Dude, Not Funny]]). His tsundere behaviour towards Stimpy varies between [[Domestic Abuse]] and [[I Shall Taunt You]], with only the latter receiving any noticeable reaction. In earlier seasons, he used to have [[Cry Cute]] breakdowns fairly often, with Stimpy as his shoulder to cry on--in "Son Of Stimpy" and "The Big Shot" it's also very obviously portrayed that he cares deeply for the moronic cat, which is the "dere" side of his personality.

* Vanessa Warfield from [[~~MASK~~]] towards Brad Turner in the second season.

* Vanessa Warfield from [[M.A.S.K.]] towards Brad Turner in the second season.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Stealing First Base". Bart falls in love with Nikki, a girl in another fourth grade class. She's definitely a '''Type A'''. She goes from being upset because he stole a kiss from her, to wanting to be his girlfriend. He still can't figure her out by the end of the episode (though Bart did cry out, "I love you!" to her as she left).

** Bart actually got this a couple of times. When he ends up in Juvie, he becomes the target of a tough girl who may or may not like him. Bart is as confused by this girl as he was by Nikki, though this one is more (physically) painful.

* Heloise from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' goes from tsun to dere when Jimmy shows up...and then to [[Yandere]] when her [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealousy]] gets the better of her.

* Megara from [[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]] is such a defining textbook example that her song from the film ("I Won't Say I'm in Love") has more or less become the official anthem of every type-A Tsundere ever. And Youtube is rife with fanmade music videos to prove it.

* Megara from [[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]] is such a defining textbook example that her song from the film ("I Won't Say I'm in Love") has more or less become the official anthem of every type-A Tsundere ever. And Youtube is rife with fanmade music videos to prove it.

* Lily from ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'' must have the diaphram of ten lions and threatens physical pain not just on her target of affection Mikey but on the rest of the cast as well. Only once in a full moon does she admit that Mikey's sweet.

* Candace of [[Phineas and Ferb]] has some aspects of this. Most noticeable in "Split Personality", in which she's split into pure Tsun Tsun and pure Dere Dere duplicates.

Line 37:

{{quote|'''Leela''': "Look, Fry is very sweet. I love his boyish charm but hate his childishness!" }}

* A rare male example: [[The Mean Brit|Kyle]] from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' qualifies. While usually dismissing the titular duo's pushy friendliness with [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]], he has occasionally shown to crave their friendship in reality, most prominently in the episode "Sigmund the Sorcerer".

* Think one male tsundere is rare? How about ''two'' of them put into the same environment? [[Boisterous Bruiser|Buck Tuddrussel]] and [[Robot Buddy|Larry 3000]] from ''[[Time Squad]]'' refer to each other with great amounts of disdain in their default tsun mood, but if placed in a proper situation, can be nice, open and protective over each other (though they are never at the same time). This is more prominent with Larry, who is not subject to [[Testosterone Poisoning]].

* Sarah from [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd & Eddy]]. It's hard to tell, because she's almost always in tsun-mode - occasionally going full-blown [[Ax Crazy]] - but she does have her occasional dere moments, mostly toward [[Camp Gay|Jimmy]].

Line 47:

* Wilma Flintstone from ''[[The Flintstones]]'' is a good example of a type B. She's all [[Yamato Nadeshiko|sweetness and light]] until her husband Fred goes from [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] to [[Jerkass]]. ''The Flintstones'' are probably a good example of what happens when a pair with [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] eventually gets their act together and finally [[Cannot Spit It Out|Spit It Out]].

* Then there's Annabelle, the angelic whippet from ''All Dogs Go to Heaven''. "Touch that watch and you can never go back...I SAID '''TOUCH THAT WATCH AND YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!'''"

* Mitsuki from ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', for Mikey. She is soft, dependent, shy, and kind the point where nobody else acknowledges her and they often forget her name, but in one episode it's revealed that {{spoiler|she used to be a secret agent before breaking into show business and can injure nearly anyone if need be}}.

* Courtney from ''[[Total Drama Island]]''. Generally polite if bossy, but if you get her mad, she gets bitchy and violent, especially around Duncan, as she shows her Tsun by refusing to admit she likes him.

{{quote|'''Duncan:''' ''(with his and Courtney's fake antlers stuck together)'' What can I say, the girl can't keep her antlers off me.

Line 53:

* Kuki aka Numbuh 3 from ''[[Kids Next Door]]'' is [[Kawaiiko|EXTREMELY cute and sweet]]... but she's very, ''very'' obstinate and prone to mood swings, especially when [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|arguing with]] [[Puppy Love|Wally aka Numbuh 4]].

* Frankie from ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' is very warm and nurturing towards the imaginary friends, but doesn't take too kindly to Mr. Herriman's pestering or Bloo's madness.

* Maurecia from [[Wayside]] is a [[Genki Girl]] who is extremely friendly and liked by everyone in Wayside School. And she expresses her [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited love]] for Todd by hitting him, ''constantly''.

* June from ''[[~~Ka Blam~~!]]'' is usually sweet and laid-back. However, when something bad happens (like Henry giving her crap or something won't go her way), she's pretty tough.

* June from ''[[KaBlam!]]'' is usually sweet and laid-back. However, when something bad happens (like Henry giving her crap or something won't go her way), she's pretty tough.

* By contrast to the obvious Type A William Murderface, [[Metalocalypse|Toki Wartooth]] is a Type B tsundere, usually being the nicest guy in the band, and treats every band member with a calm attitude... Except Skwisgaar, to whom he is specifically tsun towards. Still, it is pretty obvious that he does have a crush on him. Yes, [[Ho Yay|a male tsundere having the hots for another male character]].

* Giggles, of ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' infamy. While normally one of the sweetest and most social members of the cast, she absolutely [[Berserk Button|flips her shit whenever she sees someone harming the environment.]]

* Yo from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' is a [[Genki Girl]] with [[Love Makes You Crazy|obsessive tendencies towards the latter protagonist]] by default. Occasionally, especially when dealing with Fanboy, she will switch into tsun mode and become much less pleasant.

* Fluttershy from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|the fourth generation of My Little Pony]], especially in her relationship to animals. Often, she's very kind and sweet to them, acting as a [[Friend to All Living Things]]. But if the animals endanger her friends or make her feel unloved, she will ''flip.''
