So I've been doing yet another anime tournament with male tsundere for the past few months. It is setup like a bracket system and characters from My Story are in here as well. It's already December 2020 and, wow this crazy year went by so fast! We're down to our two finalists, Syaoran Li vs Taro Hachuu! Below is the bracket. Sorry if the words are small and blurry!
Characters
Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Syaoran is a distant relative of Clow Reed and member of the Li clan sorcerers from Hong Kong, he first appears as a rival of Sakura intending to collect the Clow Cards. While cold, emotionless, and critical at first, Syaoran warms up to Sakura's sweetness, soft-feelings and kind heart and shows his sweet soft side and falls in love with Sakura. While initially confused about her feelings, Sakura realizes she truly loves Syaoran in return.
VS
Taro Hachuu (My Story)
Taro initially is bad-tempered, feisty, and competitive particularly with his childhood friend Nina Moriko. While Taro and Nina argue a lot at first, the two develop strong feelings for each other, despite many obstacles. Taro has suffered the loss of his father while Nina has suffered the loss of both parents and both realize how much they need each other and no longer sad, lonely, or depressed, and are happy and stronger by each other's side.
The Winner
And the winner is...
Taro Hachuu |
Taro is the definition of what a male tsundere is. This was a very difficult choice as I could see either Syaoran Li or Taro Hachuu being the victor. While Taro can be short-tempered and fiesty at first he shows kindness as he grows and matures. Taro and Nina initially argue a lot but show romantic feelings for each other. They bond over feelings of grief and sadness but also happiness and joy. Taro and Nina realize they both need each other and are happier and stronger together.
Final Overview
If you have someone who you think should be an honorable mention, please comment! Also, read Rounds 1, 2, and 3 if you haven't already. I will be getting to more of My Story.
