Have you ever wondered what dere you could be? If you aren’t familiar with the idea of “dere” let me tell you. Dere can be considered “a type” where specific dere characters show affection in different ways. It can also be said that specific deres give different types of reactions when they’re being loved.

Do you sometimes notice how people act like they don’t care but they actually do? We assume that they’re pricks who are just being egotistic. But in reality, they’re actually warm; they just need their time to express their affection. So, the lesson here is, “never judge a book by its cover”.
Well, if you think you’re some type of dere, we will surely help you find out! Let’s expand your knowledge on “deres” if you’re only familiar with “Tsundere” and “Yandere”. Like, come on, this is a whole ‘nother world of terms where you’ll be able to understand yourself and anime characters better! Let’s find out what type of Dere you are by this quiz!
What Type of Dere Are You?
QUIZ
TYPES INCLUDED
There are many types of Dere and you guys can’t even imagine the world of deres! It’s like you find yourself in a new world. Ofcourse, anime world is a new world afterall. It’s interesting to find anime characters like you. In fact, these anime characters possess their own dere types. So, you can resemble them on a whole nother level. Doesn’t this intrigue you?
Even though there are several types of Deres, yet we have included some of the most prominent types of deres. So, these are the types that you need to be familiar with in order to know yourself better and to appear “knowledgeable” in front of your weeb friends. If you know, you know!
We have a list of Deres. For instance, there’s Ahodere, Dandere, Kuudere, Yandere, Tsundere, Deredere, Hiyakasudere, Megadere, and Dorodere. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then scroll down and find out for yourself! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. It’s about time to find yourself!
Ahodere
You better not mix this with “Bakadere” because it’s totally different than that. So, who are Ahoderes? These are the people who are naive when it comes to the feelings of love. If someone shows an interest in them, they get confused. No matter how hard someone loves them, they’re oblivious to their feelings.
Ahodere is a type of dere who are blind to the feelings of love.
Who comes to your mind when you hear this term? For me, it’s Chichi. Chichi from Dragon Ball Z? Does it ring a bell? YES! No matter how much Goku cares for her, she’s still oblivious. These airhead characters show their affectionate side to their love interest without even realizing it. That’s why their love interests tend to act confused and Ahoderes get embarrassed.
But the only problem with this type of dere is that they fail to understand the feelings of others. For instance, someone would show their affection but Ahoderes will think that they’re only being nice.
In short, they just fail to get “the hints”. Until someone confesses and says “I love you” straight to them, Ahoderes wouldn’t understand their feelings. So, if Ahoderes remind you of someone, it is the best time to bravely confess your feelings! And if you’re an Ahodere, pick up hints!
You must never confuse them with Bakadere as sometimes Ahodere become “bakas” and they appear very “Stupid” in a clumsy way. It’s always fun to watch these clumsy characters act in a stupid way around their crushes. Basically, these characters make the anime worth-watching, especially if you can relate to them, this makes things much more interesting.
Dandere
Have you ever met people who are very shy or timid to say anything because they feel like speaking will get them in trouble? Well, Danderes are such characters who are quiet and avoid social interaction a lot. They’re mostly anxious and can’t bear getting misunderstood, so they just prefer not to speak.
Dandere is the type of dere who avoid social interactions because they think they will get in trouble.
They don’t speak to the point of being considered “emotionless”. Why do we think that some people who don’t speak a lot are emotionless? Is it because they aren’t very expressive? It’s because they fear hurting others with their anxiety. I think they’re quite considerate. They just don’t want to hurt others or be misunderstood. Let’s see which anime character is a dandere.
Imagine you’re a huge guy who doesn’t want to hurt anybody and mind your own business but you can’t help but draw attention to yourself. Our one and only athletic boy aka Asahi Azumane went through the same thing. He didn’t even hurt anybody but everybody blamed him for things he didn’t do. It truly broke my heart when he went through situations like these. However, his team believed in him and they got along well. So, at the end, everything worked out for him!
Asahi Azumane from Haikyuu is one such character who fears hurting others. However, he got misunderstood as a bad guy due to his long hair and stature. It was super funny though. In fact, he doesn’t speak a lot and is quite shy as well. Similarly, we have Wendy from Fairy Tail. If you have watched Fairy Tail, you must know how shy Wendy was. So, if you are a Dandere, you can surely relate to these characters.
Kuudere
Next, we have Kuudere. These are the type of people who are calm no matter how intense a situation is. They never panic and I think that is their superpower! Imagine a house is on fire and you are calm. (LOL that didn’t make sense unless 👀) So, Kuuderes never seems to lose their cool. It’s true that they can come off as emotionless too but I would say they’re stoic and do feel emotions like any other human.
Kuudere is the type of dere who is calm and never panics.
Who comes to your mind when you hear “Kuudere”? I would say Tobio Kageyama but then you guys will most prolly diss me because he loses his cool whenever he gets into fights with Hinata. But hey, let’s be real, have you ever seen him panicking really bad? He mostly remains calm and comes up with different strategies to fight the opposing team.
Imagine your best friend gets hurt and you don’t panic. Is that possible? No! Right? Because usually best friends are always there for one another. Our boy Killua from Hunter X Hunter didn’t panic when Gon hurt himself since Killua’s a Kuudere. Kuudere never panic, they’re stoic and calm all the time like “monks”.
Killua Zoldyck from Hunter X Hunter is a good example of a Kuudere. We never really see this boy panicking no matter how intense a situation is. He’s always chill and calm like he’s the coolest. Even when Gon was badly hurt, he did get worried but not to the extent of losing his mind. Instead, he looked for solutions! That’s why he went to his dangerous sister, aka Alluka, to find a solution for Gon.
Yandere
Well, well, well, if this isn’t the type we’re all worried about the most! Yanderes are a very dangerous type of dere. They will never want you to be with someone else. They’re very obsessive and possessive. You know how there are some people who tend to get attached with others in a scary way. Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki is the perfect example of a Yandere. I remember she said “I’m crazy!? What’s crazy is this world that won’t let me be with you”
Yandere is the type of dere whose admiration can be only expressed in a possessive way.
So, if you have a Yandere by your side, beware of them. It’s not like they’re THAT dangerous. They will never harm you but sure, they can harm those who try to get closer to you. So, whether you’re a Yandere or you got someone who’s a Yandere, I wish you best of luck 🙌.
Imagine you have a stalker who’s always behind your back. That sounds pretty creepy, right? I mean, your stalker is always behind your back, looking at every move you make. Even when you’re in danger, that stalker comes out of nowhere and saves you. We’re going to talk about someone like that in three…two…one!
Let me give you another example of a Yandere character. Do you guys remember Juvia from Fairy Tail? She was overly obsessed with Gray Fullbuster. She stalked him a lot and always stood behind him. It creeped out the viewers, and imagine how creepy it would have been for “Gray-sama”.
Tsundere
Another popular type of dere includes Tsundere. These people seem to adopt the “I don’t care (but I do)” attitude. They won’t express their emotions, but deep down they are screaming. We know so many tsundere characters, isn’t that right? For instance, Vegeta, Chitoge, Taiga, Rin, and the list goes on. So, who’s a tsundere?
Tsundere is the type of dere who appears stern and cold until they’ve shown their warm side.
If you have a Tsundere by your side, do try to understand them. It’s not like they don’t care. It’s just that they fail to express their emotions sometimes. So, you have to be understanding if you’re dating a Tsundere. If you’re a Tsundere then you should try to understand what your loved ones want from you. I have never seen an uncool Tsundere before, what about you guys?
Tsundere characters have always been portrayed as cool, tough, and self-sufficient. It’s like they’re enough for themselves but deep down they crave the care and affection of others too. But hey, I’m not a Tsundere, I just feel like I understand them. HAHA!
Deredere
Deredere are the most positive type of Dere. They are always happy and cheering everyone around them. You know who came to my mind when I heard Deredere? It was Najimi from Komi-san Can’t Communicate. Although Najimi can also be considered a Bakadere. Anyways, Deredere are always spreading joyfulness around them. No matter how badly life kicks them, they turn into their happy self quickly.
Deredere is the type of dere who’s always super cheerful and happy.
So, if you have a Deredere in your friend group, you’re super lucky to have the “happy energy” surrounding you. Life tends to get hard and you become hopeless, so it is very important to have someone tell you “it’s gonna be alright” by your side. If you are left alone with your negative or mean thoughts, you won’t get anywhere. Be a Deredere in someone’s life or have a Deredere in your life. Do as you please, you’re gonna be alright!
Hiyakasudere
HAHA! Okay okay, let me stop blushing. It’s funny how my heart just raced for Vanessa from Black Clover. Well, you’re right! Vanessa is a Hiyakasudere who acts very ravishing in front of people she admires. You must be wondering what is a Hiyakasudere? Let me tell you!
Hiyakasudere is the type of dere who tend to act very tempting in front of their crushes.
They’re the type of dere who successfully gets what they want. Nobody can stand against their charms. We also have another character who’s known to be Hiyakasudere and he is Osamu Dazai with high self-esteem. HAHA! He’s always speaking like he’s the best (no doubts about that). There’s something about Hiyakasudere which makes them stand out from other deres. For instance, they’re confident and bold. They will straight off tell you what they want without hesitating. So, if you’re a Hiyakasudere, you’re one fine individual! 😜
Megadere
AYYO! Guess who is a Megadere? Yamai from Kom-san Can’t Communicate. So, Megadere are obsessed with their love in a fanboy-ish or fangirl-ish way. For instance, they will follow their fashion sense and will present them as if they’re everything! Do you guys remember the episode where Komi went shopping and Yamai stalked her? She was drooling after seeing different clothes on Komi. So, she’s quite obsessed with Komi. And the thing is that she isn’t even afraid to show her interest in Komi. So, Yamai is a Megadere.
It’s true that if we like someone, we want to copy their fashion sense and put them under a spotlight. So, Megadere types are usually obsessed with their crushs’ fashion sense and they’re known as their top-fans.
Megadere is the type of dere who are obsessed with their crushes in a fanboy-ish or a fangirl-ish way. Megadere are also known to be the extreme types of Deredere. They’re highly expressive and aren’t afraid of getting their feelings acknowledged or noticed by their crushes or the love of their lives. If you got Megadere you know now which character you relate to.
Dorodere
Who is Dorodere? They are very dark and mysterious. They will act like they’re the sweetest people but deep down they hold bad feelings for everyone, including their crushes.
Dorodere is the type of dere who are two-faced. They’re sweet on the outside but mean on the inside.
I would say we all should be aware of like these since they can betray us. It’s true that there are people in this world who would act like they respect you and are sweet to you but deep down, they hold grudges and bad feelings for you. So, it can be quite dangerous. Isn’t that right?
What are some Dorodere anime characters? Let’s find out! Kikyo from InuYasha. OMG! I thought she was the sweetest human being to exist but no! I was wrong! She was a two-faced idiot. There’s Alucard from Hellsing too. And a lot of other characters. I won’t tell you guys about these in much detail since it can ruin some anime for you! So, let’s wrap up for now!
Conclusion
Dere comes from an onomatopoeia meaning “lovestruck”. They are the types who tend to express their feelings in different ways. One can be obsessed with you in an unhealthy way (yandere) and others can be obsessed with you in an inexpressive way. (Tsundere)
