Tsundere or Not: Suzumiya Haruhi

Welcome! This is the seventh Tsundere or Not, a series of interactive threads where all club members are invited to evaluate our favorite tsundere characters. In every thread, you decide the character's level of tsundere-ness and give them a score in the poll rating meter. In scale of 1 to 5, rate them according to what you’ve learned in the anime, manga, novel, etc.

Prior to voting please understand the meaning of tsundere. As you know, the term became broader over time and used more arbitrarily by fans on the internet. There are various qualities and characteristics that define a character to be recognized as one, and some of those are listed in this thread. The simple definition of tsundere is available on our club page but you can read further at the Wikipedia entry.

If you don't recognize the character presented, do say so or simply skip the thread. Hopefully you might recognize her better someday and check back on this poll. Just click on the "View Results” link if you want to see the result without voting.

1.5-2
So 2.

Lots of tsun-tsun in the anime, not so many dere-dere events but if there were some, they were great. So she gets a solid 4 from me. Oharuhi-sama~ xP

Lots of Tsuntsun, few deredere, and she is tsuntsun happy when she's excited about something that popped into her mind :D I say she's a 4

It's still along way if not ending exclusive, seeing God being deredere to Kyon IMO =.='

I love her deredere side, the few times they showed it in the anime, and there's some better examples in the light novels, but I feel like she doesn't really have a tsuntsun side. It's more like a... just flat out crazy side with a little deredere mixed in every once in a while. I'm not sure what you'd classify her as. I wouldn't classify her as a tsundere though. So I give her a 2.

Even in the novels, deredere is hard to come by. Most people would say she is but I would say she isn't.

I'd give God a 5 ofc.

I totally give Haruhi a 5. Ridiculously tsuntsun, and while her deredere moments may be few and far between, they're very memorable... the "Someday in the Rain" episode and the scene where she hides from a storm in a cave with Kyon being particularly notable.

Besides, there's something so gratifying about imagining God as a perfect tsundere. XD

I don't really think she fits, I can't help feeling that she's a little more original than that. Yeah, she's a little cold, but the contrast that makes a full tsundere isn't really there. So a 2 for her.

Her deredere with Kyon is pretty sweet to watch and her tsuntsun with the SOS dan is cool too. 5

Now this is a tough one because I've seen the anime and read all the light novel (vol. 1-9) and so far she's shown mostly her tsun-tsun side. She certainly has a dere-dere side but it can be incredibly hard to comprehend, and so far she's done well to hide whether she has any feelings towards Kyon (>_<)? So it's a 3!

i agree with most people here, a lot of tsun tsun appearances, but her deredere side is mostly not shown. 4 for me

Real tsundere. 5

3.
She phails at her DereDere side.

school example, 5

Haruhi has those moments where she cares or she wants to help out but most of the time she's in tsuntsun mode. How should I put this, her intent is okay but her methods to do so pretty much suck for everyone around her. I'd give her a 3. It would be a 2 but she does have her redeeming moments.

If Haruhi wants something, Haruhi gets something.

Translated that means she isn't tsundere. Not much anyway. A shy 2/5 from me.

There's something about her, that's tsundere. However, she's mostly tsuntsun, and that's not overly "dissipated", I believe. There are some (cute ^^) deredere-moments, so I'd give her a 3.

She may be a great example but she is not always Tsundere so 4

Not very much, I give her 3.

this one should be hot
the greatest female character all time beeing classified

personally I'd say something in the middle
she didn't had much deredere after all

I accidentally voted 5!!! >_<;; I meant 3.

She's so tsun it hurts. You almost NEVER see her character deredere, which is unfortunate.

3 she is more tsuntsun

Sometimes displays the traits, 4~

4
it's not a totally tsundere but she's considerably

She's very much a tsundere for me so I give her a 5.

THIS.

She's more tsuntsun than deredere, but she gets a 4 for being god.

3 at most, methinks

I think rather than being a tsundere, shes just a brat.

definite tsundere
5

I think she isn't 100% tsundere :P

Tsuntsun = 5/5
Deredere = 3/5

= 4/5

She is a tsunderee add herr :)

She isn't tsundere like at all so I gave 2.

hmmmm id say shes a 3

I'll give her a 3, mind you I haven't read the novels.
Though not the epitome of tsunderes, she does exhibit strong tsundere behavior. Her tsuntsun side is her most prominent through out the series, there's no point giving specific examples. As for her deredere side, During episode 14 when she lent Kyon her cardigan and her selfless contributions to ENOZ are strong examples.

I'd say 4, she cheats when she doesn't get her way and recreates the world

3...I think she is,,but somehow not...

3 - Somewhat a tsundere

shes just tsuntsun imo, dont recall every seeing a real deredere moment from her, so i gave her a 3

5

kidding right? 5

you have to look closely at the little things, like when she ties her hair up or when she gets jealous of Sasaki

Considerably a tsundere - she possess the traits but not always giving the impression 4

2

she is not tsundere, people nowadays dont know what it means to be one

Fail

Lol, who's failing now. >D

3/5 Not quite enough dere moments.

She's just overly excited about things, not necessarily tsundere.
