Undere is an archetype character in Japanese fictional tales. Generally, dere types in anime and manga are unique ways to categorize different characters into specific terms. It makes the process way easier to understand and links the characters with reality.

Meaning of Undere Type:

An Undere type belongs to the character that often agrees with anything it loves. They try to be much closer to them to flatter their love interest. To do so, they agree with almost everything. “un, un, un!” is generally used in the Undere anime. The expression shows their love interest with no hesitation.

Sakura Haruno from Naruto is an Undere-type character. She always follows Sasuke Uchiha, her love interest. She can do anything to be closer to Sasuke and flatter him. The same goes for Misa Amane from Death Note. She blindly believes Light Yagami and nods at his every word. Thus, many characters in the anime belong to Undere types. Those are listed below,

Conclusion:

There are a few undere types compared to the other dere-type archetypes in Japanese media. As it is a rare anime dere type, the authors use it artfully. They often manipulate these characters to get caught by evil characters. Thus they can do something vulnerable unconsciously. The characters are very much susceptible. Sometimes an Undere can turn into a yandere too. It happens when Undere characters’ feelings go beyond their blind obedience.
