One of the rules of this forum is that the OP must give their thought first on whatever topic they create. So what about you? What are your favorite tsunderes and why?

oh.
right, sorry.

1. Taiga Aisaka (Toradora!) : How she really changed at the end of the series.
2. Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate) : She is just so freaking smart? right.
3. Shana (Shakugan no Shana) : She won Yuuji's heart, and she is just too cute when she's angry over something. enough said.
4. Kyou Fujibayashi (Clannad) : How she is overwhelmingly strong and good at pitching.
5. Shimada Minami (Baka to Test) : She is from Germany. (?)

Hmmm, I would have to say...

Evangeline A.K. McDowell (Negima!): C'mon, evil vampire magi chick that is out to drain the hero dry, maniacal cackle and all. It's hard to top that.

Princess Mina Tepes (DitVB): Cold, manipulative, aggressive, ingenious, and a vampire. Apparently I have a thing for bossy vampires.

Chicka Ogiue (Genshiken): To be honest with you, she comes pretty close to my "ideal woman" status. Just needs to learn martial arts so I'd have a training partner. BUT, her attitude, reactions, and eventual revelations and vulnerability, totally speak of tsundere to me, particularly as the series progresses.

(I don't actually provide evidence for it, I guess, but I'd rather not give much away about these characters, y'know?)

1)Helga G. Pataki (Hey Arnold!).
Also a fine yandere as well, come to think of it. The first for many in my generation, I'd wager.

2)Vegeta (Dragonball Z).
Even after all those arguments and fights, he still made up with Goku.

Also "became one with him" as well. On multiple occasions.

Shows many tsundere traits in regards towards his son and Bulma, as well.

3) Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile). Stereotypical abusive tsundere or not, still a pretty cool guy.

4) Akiha (Tsukihime).
A dignified lady with a troublesome brother. As well as troublesome maids, complexes, blood, and generally everything else. Still totally manages to keep from getting too hot-headed, most of the time.

Ah, I ran out. Oh well. 4 is fine, right?

Hitagi Senjogahara (Bakemonogatari)- Abusive both verbally and physically though she makes up for for it by being absurdly clever with her many biting insults and the fact that the one receiving them spoiler[is her boyfriend so she obviously loves him.].

Kaname Chidori (Full Metal Panic)- Nice for the most part but definitely has a temper especially when it comes to Souske and his over-protection and wanton destruction of property.

....that's all I that came to mind at the moment. I'm not really a fan of the character type so I don't have lots of favorites in the category. I may add more if they come to me though.

everyone seems to have the same reason. tsundere's charm can't be explained with words.
or maybe not.

I'm not a fan of tsundere just for its own sake, but I do favor some over others.

I loved Kaname in FMP Fumoffu; she was hilarious. Less in the second raid.
The Sanjiyan, Pai's alternate personality in 3x3 eyes will always be a top tsundere for me since that was one of the first manga I read.
Fujiko of the Lupin III franchise might be my favorite of all. I love how crafty she is, and how she can perfectly manipulate Lupin by pretending to seduce him, then dropping him in the gutter the second she gets the info she was after. In fact, she's so good at pulling Lupin's strings that she gets him to forgive her every time she double crosses him.
