ALL DERE TYPES LIST

So, I'm compiling a massive list of all the dere archetypes to the best of my knowledge. Why? Because I have no life. If anything is inaccurate or if I'm missing something, let me know. I'll add more and more as I go along. If you have any good examples for a type where characters are concerned, let me know✌

Turning this into an ask meme! Reblog and send an emoji based on what kind of dere you think the person who reblogged this came off as

💢Tsundere- Tsunderes are your archetypal "hard on the outside, soft on the inside" type. At least the classic variety is. Classic tsundere characters tend to start out aloof and avoidant with fiery tempers but over time they will begrudgingly show a gentler, more easily flustered lovestruck side to the right person. There's a second type of tsundere in which the character is sweet, gentle and friendly most of the time but that one person will trigger their fiery temper and that's how you know they love you.

🤫Dandere- Dandere characters tend to start out as someone who is very shy, quiet, asocial and withdrawn. They don't talk all that much and may not show a lot of emotion. However, around the right person they may open up more and show that they are a very friendly, kind, loving person beneath their withdrawn exterior.

❄Kuudere- Kuuderes are oft confused with danderes but they aren't the same thing. A kuudere has an icy demeanor. She is aloof, doesn't show emotion, and possibly pragmatic and very cynical. But if the right person comes along and earns their trust, the ice might just melt and the kuudere in question is revealed to be a very soft, kindhearted gentle person.

🔪Yandere- Ah, now for a scary type. A yandere may often appear sweet, cutesy,loving, and romantic on the surface but if you catch their interest you're FUCKED. Yanderes are extremely jealous, possessive and obsessive of their love interests and will go to any lengths to have them by their side. Those lengths often include kidnapping said love interest, killing their friends and family so they can have the person all to themselves, or at worst killing said love interest because if they can't have them, no one can. There are more benign types of yandere in which said yandere is clearly obsessed but doesn't go much further than stalking or going through their love interest's trash. Creepy still? But mainly harmless.

💕Deredere- A deredere is a character who is sweet, loving, and energetic through and through. There's no guesswork involved with these guys. They typically have quite the bubbly disposition.

👑Himedere- A himedere is like a tsundere or kuudere who demands to be treated as if they were a princess by their love interest. They may or may not be actual royals. They often show a bratty, spoiled, regal, or arrogant disposition and may treat their love interest as one of their "royal subjects" or call them a peasant.

✝️Kamidere- Similar to himedere, except this person wants their love interest to treat them like a God or goddess. They may or may not actually be one. They may demand that their love interest worship them. Also very arrogant individuals.

🩸Yangire- A lot of people confuse yangire and yandere but they are very, very different. A yangire refers to a character who often seems cutesy, sweet, and harmless or maybe even just plain normal (which is indeed genuine) on the surface but it masks a very violent, unhinged side of their personality. Unlike a yandere, this violent side isn't necessarily triggered by romantic love or jealousy (though this isn't to say that a yangire can't fall in love), it could be triggered by lots of different things.

🤬Tsungire- A tsungire is a character who is angry, fiery, hostile, irritable and maybe even arrogant through and through. They are fiery and angry outside, violent inside. They are nearly unapproachable.

🎭Tsunshun- a tsunshun is a character who is irritable, fiery, aloof and hostile inside but actually very sad, depressed and lonely on the inside. It's a "mask" of sorts to hide their sad, vulnerable, sensitive interior.

💧Coodere- hard to find an exact definition on this type, but they appear to be a milder type of kuudere. Instead of being an outright ice queen/king, a coodere might seem kind of distant or aloof, maybe a bit unemotional and laid-back but they conceal a very sweet, friendly lovestruck side and blush easily. They also probably cry a lot.

👍Undere- Undere is a "yes-man" kind of dere. They will probably do whatever their love interest wants and agree with them a lot in order to get closer to them. If I remember correctly, they've probably known their love interest a long time, maybe even their childhood best friend and were most likely closer to them than anyone else but went on unnoticed.

😜Bakadere- bakaderes are very childish, ditzy, silly and naive types. They're also pretty immature even though they tend to be quite kind. They pretty much act like a little kid when it comes to love and handle it quite amateurly.

😷Byoukidere- A byoukidere usually is very kind, sweet, and helpful and reserved in love but they always have some kind of terminal illness or are severely disabled in some way. They may want to experience true love before they pass away.

😊Bodere- a bodere is like a fusion of a tsundere and a dandere. They are often shy, easily embarrassed and easily flustered around the person they like and will lash out in order to hide their shyness

😒Darudere - Daruderes come off as bored and apathetic to basically everything. They may be entirely anhedonic for the most part....until that special person enters the picture and livens up their life. They usually end up a bit more cheerful around this person and showing a sweeter side that is more interested in life.

😞Shuundere- Shuunderes are very sad, isolated, depressed, lonely and unmotivated. They may be suicidal. Their love interest may be able to help them open up and cheer up. There's also a second type of shuundere that hides their sadness behind a cheerful facade and only those who get close enough to them see how sad they are deep down.

😳Hajidere- hajideres are a lot like danderes but there are a couple of key differences. They will be very easily flustered, bashful, and nervous around their crush to the EXTREME. They might even faint. However, unlike their cousin the dandere, they act pretty normal around everyone else.

😤Hinedere- hinederes have a cold, extremely cynical, pessimistic, harsh disposition. They probably have severe trust issues and may or may not be kind of arrogant. But towards the right person they will open up and show a bit of a kinder side and mellow out somewhat. These types have probably gone through a lot of trauma.

🤑Kanedere-Kanederes are essentially gold diggers and attracted exclusively to those with lots of money and a high social standing.

👿Mayadere- a mayadere refers to a character who starts out as the villain and probably will try to kill the protagonist but they end up falling for the protagonist and switching sides. They may still remain dangerous and unpredictable though!

🐈Nyandere-a nyandere is a type of character who shows a lot of cat-like attributes and behavior. They may or may not be tsundere, much like an actual cat and may or may not be a catgirl/catboy

🤴Oujidere-This is more or less the male equivalent of a himedere. He wants to be treated as a prince by the one he loves, and may want them to "serve" him. They are typically very regal, refined, and have a very dignified bearing. They may or may not actually be a prince. Alternatively there's a more benign variant in which they may be like a prince in a chivalrous sense, viewing themselves as a knight from a fairytale and have an always-save-the-girl/guy-complex. The second type is usually quite protective.

😏Sadodere- A sadodere is a sadistic, cruel, manipulative kind of person who lacks empathy and gets off on toying with their love interests feelings. They may be known for being a tease. They also enjoy humiliating their love interest and may hurt them physically and emotionally.

🚫Devidere- a devidere is the type of character who will try and ignore their crush in a feeble attempt to make their crush jealous or pay attention to them

😍Megadere - a megadere is like a benign variant of a yandere. These characters are typically very cute, upbeat, and sweet but will develop an extremely obsessive fixation on a person and fawn over them the way a fanboy/girl fawns over a celebrity. Are they obsessive and prone to jealousy? Why yes, but unlike the yandere it takes a more benign form such as obsessively mooning over them or stalking. They usually do not get the guy/girl but this isn't always the case.

😌Oujodere-an oujodere is very prim and proper, ladylike, calm and mature. They are gentle and calm. They are also very compassionate but they'll outright shower their love interest in their love

☯️Dorodere- Doroderes seem cute, sweet and innocent on the outside but on the inside are deeply emotionally disturbed. They bear similar thought patterns and tendencies to yanderes/yangires/sadoderes but will not typically act on such thoughts. They may have issues that cause this kind of behavior and their disturbed side will slowly be revealed to those who become close to them. An individual may not always be a dorodere may not always be a dorodere but may develop those qualities over time due to trauma or being raised around violent individuals. They tend to be very unpredictable.

🤪Ahodere- a whole ass idiot over here. They're not like bakaderes because they lack the naive aspect. They are often very boisterous, constantly messing up, and very oblivious to displays of love but are actually very sweet people, especially once the dumbass figures out the person they like likes them too. Ahoderes are usually boys and usually paired with tsunderes

💋Teasedere- a teasedere is very flirtatious and playful and mischievous. They're probably a trickster type. They are quite caring but may purposely annoy or tease their love interest to get a rise out of them.

👊Thugdere: thugderes are brash, rude, tough and probably involved in criminal activities. They get into a lot of fights and probably have a bad reputation and are known as someone you don't want to mess with but show a very kind, affectionate and loyal side towards their friends and partner.

💚Goudere: this one is a little harder to define but the general consensus seems to be that a goudere is "an unstoppable force that does whatever she pleases for her master, out of live for her master". Gouderes are most likely more boisterous than yanderes despite the similarities to them. She will do whatever she deems is best for her master....whether he wants her to do it or not. She lacks the possessiveness of a yandere because she would willingly and forcefully make a harem for her master.

💔Usodere: seems sweet and innocent on the outside but is actually a compulsive liar

👹Onidere: Variant of tsundere. They possess incredible destructive power and are actually demons. Most people don't dare go near them but they are kind and gentle towards those they love. Monsterfuckers eat your heart out!

👰Kekkondere: This kind of character wants to marry their love interest right away. From the moment they meet them, they've decided their future with that person. Falls in love quickly, may go yandere if their advances are rejected.

💤Nemuidere: this kind of character is someone who sleeps a lot. They don't have much interest in anything other than napping and are known to be quite laconic. They are usually very intelligent. The right person, of course, may motivate them to take more of an interest in life.

📣Uzadere: Oft confused with bakadere and ahodere. These characters are very loud, boisterous, annoying, and probably not very smart but sweet and well intentioned.

🏋️‍♂️Kiredere: This is an extremely harsh variant of tsundere. They act a lot like an overzealous personal trainer to their love interest and tend to yell at them a lot. But it's all because secretly they care deeply for the person and snark at them in the name of personal improvement and wanting to bring out the best in their love interest

😩Masodere: Thiskind of character complements a sadodere perfectly. They have a strong attraction to humiliation, pain, and manipulation and would get off on their love interest treating them in such a way.

Dere Type Enneagram Correlations Part 1 - Tsundere and Yandere

I’ve been using a website called Personality Database. It is a community where users get to vote and discuss the MBTI and Enneagram for each person or character. The MBTI, Enneagram, and other personality models with the most votes will result in their personality types being displayed on each profile.

Today, I’m going to take a look at some of the popular Tsundere and Yandere characters in anime/manga and find out where the connection lies in their enneagram and tritype. I'm going to link the resources for both enneagram and dere types at the end of the page.

What is an Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a framework that offers in-depth insight to individuals, groups and collectives. There are nine main Enneagram types, 18 wings, and three centers of intelligence. The Enneagram offers a rich map to personal development from an open systems perspective.

NOTICE - I'm going to separate the two subtypes of Tsundere, considering there is a notable difference between the two.

Tsundere Type A (Harsh Type)

Common

Type 8, Type 6, Type 3

Uncommon

Type 1, Type 4, Type 7

Rare

Type 5, Type 2, Type 9

Tsundere Type B (Sweet Type)

Common

Type 2, Type 1, Type 6

Uncommon

Type 4, Type 9, Type 3

What happened? Why did you delete your Personality Database account?

PDB doesn’t really do it for me. I could try some other media that revolves around typology but for now, I’m just gonna focus on the archetypes in anime and save the MBTI & Enneagram stuff for later when I learn more about it.

The Two Iconic Yandegires

“Yandegire, also known as Yandeguire, is a rare type of personality and very hard to find in medias. The definition of the name is the combination of the name Yandere and Yangire.” - The Evil Wiki

Yandegires are the characters who are willing to commit atrocities if someone comes in between them and their beloved, much like a Yandere. However, sometimes they’ll become violent purely out of trauma or for other non-love related reasons, like a Yangire. Living with the two anime archetypes is what makes Yandegire characters far more chaotic and dangerous.

Adding Kyo Sohma as the Tsundere King instead and that would be my list.

Yuno still scares me in my sleep.

[animearchetypes]

Hello. I was wondering what kind of dere I come off ass? I'm a sad but silly kind of guy with hardcore anxiety and depression. I usually fall for people I'm already friends with. But because I don't want to make things weird I'll try to hide that I like them. I become kind of awkward and flustered. I might distance myself and become sad and jealous if they find someone else. I take a while to open up to people. I'm also known to be oblivious to romantic advances so i think no one likes me😅

The closest dere type would probably be a Shundere. There are shunderes who show how they feel, and there are also shunderes who come off as derederes to hide their feelings such as what you described there. Either way, I hope you find the one person who can help you feel safe and accepted.

I’ve seen a relative scarcity of video game dere types on the Internet. Do you have any standout examples?

There aren’t necessarily any deres that exclusively revolve around video games, but there is The Dere Types Wiki, which help provide sources of video game characters who meet the criteria for a certain dere type if you want to check that out. Also if you want, you can check out my analysis on the most well known video game character, Ayano Aishi from Yandere Simulator: https://anime-archetypes.tumblr.com/post/620737525112258560/analyzing-ayano-aishi-is-she-a-yandere

What Dere is Yato from Noragami? By the way thanks for adding me on Personality Database! (It's Lazarheart). 😃

Thank you for adding me back. And don’t worry, I’ll get to Yato by making a separate post called Anime Archetypes in Noragami, so stay tuned!

[animearchetypes]

what is a hiyakasudere

Hiyakasudere is another term for Teasedere. It describes characters who love to tease their love interest. They’re a playful lighthearted version of a Sadodere, except they would never go far as to sabotage or make other characters suffer. Takumi Usui from Maid-Sama is a good example of this dere type, but Takagi from Teasing Master Takagi-San is an embodiment of this archetype.

My Return and Reviewing ‘Yandere’ Characters with the Yandere Checklist

Hello followers. I apologize for my absence. I was working from home which has prevented me from answering your questions.

To make up for my absence, I have found a yandere checklist online and will be reviewing the on characters who are presumed to be a yandere. I will be trying them out now with a new hashtag called Yandere Checklist Reviews, so it’s going to be another series.

I’ve will be using the Yandere Wiki and The Dere Types Wiki for character resources. Until then, stay safe.

[animearchetypes]

All deres have or have had a love interest, or someone they are/were romantically attracted to. In my opinion, as a blog dedicated to all the dere types, there are two questions what will determine the characters’ Dere Type.

How to they react when they’re in love?

What were they like before they fell in love?

Because falling in love can really change fictional characters just as long as they’re written well.

Sorry for the out of topic question, but do you think other dere types can not be platonic, too?

Hey there anon, Kai here to answer.

This is a bit out of our “area of expertise” but our personal opinion on this is “to a certain degree” Yanderes are a unique dere type in that it’s really centered all around having an s/o and their love of their s/o; which is why we’re strict when it comes to the type of loves.

Other dere types are reactionary though. By default, they already “act” a certain way with other people. People already know a tsundere or kuudere by their “tsun” part or their “kuu” part. The dere part is only revealed to their love interests, typically. Compared to a yandere, they won’t “act” like a yandere unless they have a love interest. The best way to think about the other dere types is this example: Imagine a quiet kid (a kuudere). People know them to be quite and interact as such. But with friends, they’re a lot more open but these type of people tend to treat a s/o more specially and showing sides they wouldn’t show a friend. This is why I say “to a certain degree”. The other dere types are more heavy-handed personalities and as such, their personalities represent how they handle friendships. But at the end of the day, they are archetypes more geared toward romances. “This person acts like this with other people but only with me do they act sweet” type of nonsense. In a way, yanderes and the other dere types are an apple and oranges case. Sure they’re all fruits but an apple is an apple and an orange is an orange. 

I hope this wasn’t too confusing!
