The Quintessential Quintuplets' types are Onee-san/ara ara, tsundere, kuu/dandere, genki and then what is Itsuki's 'type'?

my guy if multiple people tell you multiple types of tsundere then it's a safe bet to assume she's a tsundere. if you really care then read, if you don't then just accept tsundere

I think anyone knows what type is Itsuki. For me she has the personality of a door.

1 - The 3rd type of 'tsundere' was not a tsundere at all? Note: I never said I didn't accept tsundere. I was just saying that if you say tsundere, then I would like to point out that not everyone I've talked to has the same opinion.

2 - So you're saying Itsuki's type is a 'spoiler' like how some of the genres of Umineko are 'spoilers' ? https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/jxp6en/being_told_the_genre_of_a_movie_may_be_a_spoiler/

So is Nino a tsundere? We just happen to have 2 tsundere quints? Or Nino is, what, straight tsun tsun ?

titodacat said:
she's a tsundere she doesn't show her true feelings the definition of a tsundere. And yes considering it is a romance harem, knowing she's a tsundere would imply that she likes him which could be a spoiler to some. The level of spoiler is no where near the umineko ones, but yes it could be considered a spoiler. She is most like Nino, and they get along by far the most well out of the quints so it isn't surprising that they are both tsunderes

Right thanks. I think I disagree, but you articulated it very generously and very well, so indeed thanks for the clarification.

Re Umineko level: Oh yeah not the Umineko level but that kind (or well 'type' LOL) of spoiler.

Re Umineko genre: Wait wait off-topic - you really consider the genres of Umineko to be spoilers? Well technically that is what the fandom page does, but uggghhhhh it's just so frustrating that they're considered spoilers. I mean those 3 spoiler tag genres are just gonna be revealed after the 1st arc (of either the manga, the anime or the VNs) right?

nino is one of those tsunderes that starts out very tsun but once the confession is done she's just pure dere, itsuki is much more normal aggravatingly stubborn tsundere

titodacat said:
no I don't consider genres specifically spoilers, but I can see why people will. Like say you go from higurashi to umineko, shits wild how fantasy it gets, and knowing the fantasy genre would automatically ruin some of the batshit insane stuff in it. So to answer your question, a spoiler is subjective, but usually genres wouldn't be a spoiler unless it goes in a different direction. Like take games like doki doki lit, going into it expecting horror significantly hurts the experience. It's not to that extreme level but it also isn't exactly like saying cod is a shooter level genre either

Oh wait I forgot also: Let's say fine ok I pretend Itsuki's a tsundere, whether romantic or platonic. (Let's not spoil it for people.)

2 things

1 - Do you think Itsuki is tsundere enough for this to be Itsuki's 'type' the way the other quints have those types?

(I edited my post to say that I have a theory/hypothesis as to what's Itsuki's type. I am extremely confident in my answer, and absolutely no one I've told has disagreed with me. It would help if Itsuki were not tsundere enough. But I believe the theory still holds otherwise. Actually, wondering about what Itsuki's type is is what led me to the think of the theory, but it's not really part of the theory I guess.)

2 - I showed the upper half of the following image https://imgur.com/a/zyufKxW to someone on reddit named SyliciX who told me in response 'Ichika nails the comment 100% about the two.' https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/uka0wm/the_quintessential_quintuplets_types_are_oneesan/i7ynvj4/ Do you disagree with SyliciX ?

3 - Consequently, is Fuutarou a 'tsundere' too or at least a bit of a tsundere in some episodes/chapters? Of course Fuutarou's type isn't tsundere. But for me if someone, not necessarily me, says Ichika nails 100%, then well maybe that someone also thinks Itsuki's type isn't tsundere (even if Itsuki does have some tsundere tendencies).

Aha yes! Thanks! I knew Nino was a tsundere! Omoidoori x3 (Light Yagami) !!!

1 - Is this Lucky Channel segment relevant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JoyuY1i9ys The guy says something about tsundere's original definition as like 'a character who starts off hostile and eventually becomes affectionate' (0:56 - 1:05) but now it's used as 'hostile outside affectionate inside'

2 - This guy k4r6000 on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/uka0wm/comment/i7osp43/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 says Nino is not a tsundere. Do you disagree? I think maybe you'd agree because Nino is Type 3 tsundere where Type 3 is the 'original definition' from the Lucky Channel segment?

This is what k4r6000 says:

> a tsundere is character that flips between mean and nice. And there are generally two main types: 1) A harsh tsundere who is predominantly mean with a sweet side and 2) Soft tsundere who is predominantly nice, but has a harsh side that comes out on occasion. You can probably make the case that Nino is Type 1 and Itsuki is Type 2. The reason I personally don’t think Nino is, is because she doesn’t flip. (...)

Note: as for Type 4 'hostile outside affectionate inside' I think this comprises Types 1 and Types 2 together, i.e. Types 1 and 2 are actually sub-types of Type 4. If I'm right, then let's do away with Type 4 and just focus on Types 1, 2 and 3.

Edit: I should clarify that I've been working on this theory/hypothesis re Itsuki. And I have a very precise answer as to exactly what Itsuki's type is. I'm extremely confident in my answer, and absolutely no one I've told has disagreed with me when I have told them what I think Itsuki's type is. (They mostly just say I don't really have evidence to support it, though they don't have evidence against it. Devil's proof and all.) Hence, I'm asking to see if anyone has any better credible answers.

Under my theory, you can say additionally Itsuki has types eat-suki, tsukkomi, etc. But without my theory, I don't necessarily buy those as Itsuki's types.

---

Ichika - Onee-san/ara ara,
Nino - tsundere (debatable but let's focus on Itsuki please),
Miku - Kuudere s1 and then dandere s2 or something,
Yotsuba - genki
Itsuki - ?

Like, what's 'quintessential' about Itsuki? Everyone keeps telling me to read the manga/watch the movie, but why is Itsuki the only 1 where I have to read the manga/watch the movie just to know what type Itsuki is after 2 seasons already when all the other quints' types are known early in s1?

Is it seriously like (Higurashi/)[Umineko](https://07th-expansion.fandom.com/wiki/Umineko_When_They_Cry_(series)) where some of the [genres are 'spoilers'](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/jxp6en/being_told_the_genre_of_a_movie_may_be_a_spoiler/) ?

I don't think I really buy eat-suki, surrogate mom, diligent, tsukkomi or girl next door. As for tsundere, I've heard conflicting answers: romantic tsundere, platonic tsundere, not a tsundere at all.

I already said I didn't buy eat-suki. But really that's what you're going with? Itsuki is an eat-suki as much as Yotsuba is a genki, Ichika is an onee-san/ara ara, Nino is a tsundere (sort of?), and Miku is a kuudee/dandere?

Who cares what you buy? That's what it is lol. Look at this dude going for his doctorate in waifuoligy. It ain't that deep bro lol.

i’ll just say this: what were you on when you made this? it’s really obvious what their archetypes are. i’ll just list them below, don’t expect me to reply back.

ichika- elder sister (お姉さん)
nino- yandere/kamidere (don’t know where people get tsundere from, she doesn’t have those characteristics put together.)
miku- dandere/kuudere
yotsuba- deredere/bakadere/osananajimi
itsuki- “main heroine”

don’t know how else i could classify them, this is the only way i see fit and my mind can’t be changed.
