When asked "Who's the best 'Tsundere' character" in an annual Japanese poll that received 1272 responses, the top 3 ranked tsundere characters were:>1st PlaceNino Nakano (5toubun)>2nd PlaceUnited Kingdom (Axis Powers Hetalia)>3rd PlaceKarane Inda (100 Kanojo)Source: https://animeanime.jp/article/2025/01/11/88682.html
Disclaimer: I used MTL>In third place was Inda Karane from "100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Love You ." Her approval rating was about 4 percent, the same as last year.>The top tsundere characters were ranked, with comments such as "The classic tsundere heroine born in the Reiwa era! She loves Rentarou more than anyone else, but acts tsundere to hide it," and "The representative tsundere from '100 Kano'. Her name comes from the tsundere line, 'It's not like...' (dakara ne), and her hairstyle is the symbol of tsundere characters, twin tails. She's the very definition of tsundere." The second season of the anime will begin airing on January 12th.
>In second place is the United Kingdom from "Hetalia: Axis Powers ." With a support rate of about 5 percent, it has moved up from fourth place last year>Another point is that other characters also recognize him as a tsundere, with comments such as "I was blown away by his typical tsundere lines, such as 'Don't get the wrong idea' and 'It's not for your sake.' England is a tsundere gentleman," "The combination of a tsundere and a sarcastic person is precious," and "I laughed when Japan said, 'England's tsundere circuitry is complicated and mysterious.'" He is also the only male character in the top 10.
>First place went to Nakano Nino from "The Quintessential Quintuplets ." With a support rate of about 18 percent, she was at the top for the fourth consecutive year.>Readers have commented that it's cute how, although she was trying to drive Fuutarou away, her hostility fades with each episode. I also like how she changes the way she calls him, from Uesugi at first to Fuutarou, and then to Fu-kun, and that she's a classic tsundere! At first she was so mean to Fuutarou, but by the end she was all lovey-dovey. Her image of her has changed 180 degrees. Another popular point is that you can enjoy watching her change in each series, with one reader saying, "In the first season she's more tsun, but from the second season onwards she's more dere. Both Ninos are very charming."

>>275181055>Santa NinoUhh. Did you meant to name that file "Saint Nino"?
>>275181484no, it's kind of a pun (about Niña, Pinta and Santa María)
Yotsuba bros, our response?
>>275181551Oh, alright then.
>>275176210>Bestno being compared to 2 literal whos
>>275181578The poll is full of literal whos, most likely just some obscure poll that this n*nokek decided to bot like with that garbage daily chapter poll back in 2020.
>>275176648Steins;Gate is garbage.
They still exist?Usually I just see some soft, fat, bimbo that's a little socially awkward.
>>275181585Yeah! Avast ye landlubbers! Grab yer hats and prepare to be raided by the tempestuous queen of tsun!

>>275184881Jesus Christ, Japs still have shit taste.
>>275184935So what's your top 3 tsunderes then, wiseguy?
>>275176397>no Atarujapan has fallen
>>275185883>AtaruWho?
To me, tsundere requires a clear progression of hatred to falling the hardest in extreme love, but embarrassed all along the way.
>>275185786Kurisu is the only good tsundere mentioned in this thread.
>>275185786KirinoArianeYui
>>275176210Karane is my wife
>>275185883Ataru from Urusei Yatsuru? Does he really count as a tsundere? Honestly though all of Rumiko's tsun characters suck, especially Akane.
>>275179270except by her sister lmao
>>275176246Karane my beloved. She will even tsun oxygen.
Germany is way cuter than UK, Nips always had shit taste in Hetalia characters
>>275178916Reddit Gate was never that popular in Japan
>>275189661>11th highest selling VN of all timelook how hard this lil bro is trying
>>275181644MEMEPLETS compared to one of the strongest series in relation to staying power and popularity in their home country is funny. In 2006 the author of the shitty harem manga was probably still sucking his momma's tits
>>275189940>VNNiche of the niche, japanese people read manga and watch anime sometimes but VNs are exclusive to the dirtiest otakus.
