Top 10 Types of "Deres" In Anime

Dere is a term used to describe certain types of females in anime.

The Top Ten
  1. Tsundere

    A character who alternates between being harsh or hostile and being caring or affectionate.

    I also really don't like pettanko who dislike their flat chest and harass others because of it, especially when some large-breasted victims of their outbursts are unhappy with having big ones. It's actually pretty common for large-breasted women to hate their breasts and want reductions, despite what anime may want to make you believe!

    Pettanko are so blessed IMO. There should be more proud flat characters, especially adults, as animated media and dolls make it look as if flat women don't exist!

    So, if you want to win your crush's heart, be harsh on them, and it can develop your feelings. Do you want to be a tsundere? It's simple. Always be harsh. Say "BAKA!" a lot. Never be sad or quiet because your crush might think that you've changed.

    If your crush gives you something, pretend not to care and say, "I have SOOO many like this at home. Don't give me this kind of thing again, BAKA!" Tsundere is also cute to me, but I'm not a tsundere. I'm more like a dandere. I'm shy, which makes it a little hard for me to make friends.

  2. Kuudere

    A character who maintains a calm, emotionless, and stoic demeanor.

    Kuudere means: starts uninterested but turns love-struck later. A Kuudere starts cold, distant, and uninterested, and doesn't pay any attention to potential love interests but eventually becomes love-struck.

    It's kind of like me. I'm shy at first, but I'll open up to you if I get to know you.

    Kuuderes are cold to their love interests until they get close to them, at which point they open up.

  3. Yandere

    A character who shows obsessive affection that can escalate into violent behavior.

    As someone who often listens to Yandere boys' ASMR, I just had to vote for this. I don't like Yandere girls (Yuno is scary), but Yandere boys are life. I want one...

    Cute and friendly on the outside, but if you mess with the one they love, they will turn intense quickly.

    Sweet and kawaii on the outside, but actually evil and a killer on the inside. Don't mess with them.

  4. Dandere

    A character who is quiet, reserved, and socially withdrawn until they open up.

    Dandere is sweet, kind, and energetic. This is what I'd personally want the most in a person.

    I especially like when they're sweet.

  5. Deredere

    A character who is consistently cheerful, loving, and energetic.

    I took the quiz, and apparently, this is me. Maybe a little bit of Tsundere is added in.

    Literally me, no quiz-taking needed. I just know.

    Cute and friendly inside and out!

  6. Kamidere

    A character who behaves arrogantly with a god-complex attitude.

    They believe they are God and should be worshiped and treated like a god. They are also highly arrogant and proud and aren't afraid to speak their minds and show everyone how right they are.

  7. Himedere

    A character who expects to be treated like royalty regardless of status.

    Basically, a Himedere is like a Tsundere or a Kuudere but too princess-like to fit into any category. She either treats her love interest as if she needs to be cared for or as if he is a prince.

    Treat her with respect! She deserves every last bit of it!

  8. Undere

    A character who agrees to everything a loved one says or asks.

    An Undere will say yes to everything her love interest says and agrees with all of their opinions.

    "Do you like socks?" "YES! Yes, I do!"

  9. Mayadere

    A character who starts as an antagonist but may switch sides due to affection.

    Mayaderes are possibly very sweet. Though they are feared antagonists, they turn their back on the evil side for their loved one, who is most likely on the good side. So basically, they fight for their loved ones.

    They can also have any kind of personality, so they can be a Mayadere while having the personality of a Tsundere. BOOM SHAKALAKA!

    -A random person who is weird

  10. Dorodere

    A character who appears sweet but secretly harbors dark thoughts or feelings.

    A Dorodere is sweet, innocent, and loving on the outside, almost like a Yandere. On the inside, they are mentally unstable and usually have very interesting backstories. They are extremely creepy on the inside.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Amadere

    A character archetype in anime and manga known for being exceptionally sweet, nurturing, and affectionate, often acting as a reliable, gentle partner who spoils their love interest. These characters are soft-spoken, mature, and focused on taking care of their partner, often cooking or cleaning for them

  13. ?

    Nyandere

    A character who incorporates cat-like traits, such as saying "nya" in their speech.

    A Nyandere is pretty much like a Neko. A Nyandere may be a girl who starts acting like a cat when "dere," displaying traits like fangs or cat ears, even if not literal but just drawn. Alternatively, it could be a girl who acts composed but becomes "dere" when she sees a cat.

    She may also be a Tsundere with cat ears or even an actual cat (or anthropomorphic catgirl) that's "dere" for her owner. They often add "nyan" in their sentences and might even be Nekojin.

  14. The Contenders
  15. Tsukidere

    A character who expresses affection through pranks or playful teasing.

    A Tsukidere is a type of person who is a mix of different personalities and stereotypes all in one. However, they usually bring out at least one of these traits at a time. These types are considered the most mentally unstable because of this. They are mostly viewed as "dark," which is why they are called Tsukidere. "Tsuki" is another word for moon.

  16. Bakadere

    A character who acts clumsy or foolish despite being well-meaning.

  17. Kanedere

    A character motivated by money and wealth in their relationships.

  18. Sadodere

    A character who enjoys teasing or causing pain to someone they like.

    IZAYA ORIHARA! He is basically the first person to pop up in my brain every single time I hear the word Sadodere. That's why I like Sadodere characters because Izaya is my favorite character forever.

    I also like characters that are somewhat cruel and enjoy manipulating people both socially and emotionally. They play with every character in the show behind the scenes and are hands down the most interesting characters.

    Basically, a type of dere where the character uses and manipulates other characters for their own enjoyment.

  19. Noradere

    A character who acts normally at first but can shift unpredictably in personality or behavior.

  20. Hajidere

    A character who becomes extremely shy and embarrassed around their crush.

    I'm apparently one of them. The happy anxiety when your crush is in your presence is almost unbearable!

    Similar to Danderes, except they only become shy and easily flustered around their love interest.

  21. Byoukidere

    A character who is physically ill or weak, often bedridden.

  22. Bodere

    A character who stammers or stutters due to shyness around others.

  23. Gundere

    A character associated with or obsessed with guns and weaponry.

  24. Utsudere

    A character who displays depressive tendencies or persistent sadness.

    Not to be confused with Shundere. An Utsudere refers to a character who is often sad and depressed. They are not as sad as the Shundere, but are still very similar. Utsuderes have a reason to be depressed.

  25. Shundere

    A character who appears gloomy, melancholic, or withdrawn.

    Someone who is often sad and gloomy until they meet the person they love.

    That sounds bittersweet. I want to see more of those.

  26. Thugdere

    A character who behaves with a delinquent or gangster-like attitude while hiding affection.

    Thugdere is when someone often mistreats their lover, normally physically harming them without a reason, but can also be quite affectionate toward them. The "thugness" is often a way they hide their sweet, caring, and loving side, which they may often think makes them look weak or foolish. Not to be confused with Tsunderes who have to be spoken to first.
