Romaji: Gou-dere) is a term for a character who acts as an overpowering force to give their love interest everything they want even if it means inconveniencing others, but is cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere to their love interest. They have an idealized notion of their love interest, often viewing them as their master, and believe that they are more important than others and deserves to have everything their heart desires no matter the cost. They are fiercely loyal and will stop at absolutely nothing to obtain whatever they want their love interest to have purely out of love for them, even if it means using violence or forcing others to bend to their master's will. Due to their extreme devotion, they will go to unimaginable lengths to give to their love interest whatever they believe is the best for them, often creating uncomfortable and comical situations that can even put the love interest in trouble. They are brazen and unconstrained, never understanding the consequences of their actions, and will do things such as trying to force girls to be in their love interest's harem, overpreparing for basic situations, encouraging their master to take what their heart desires, or using violence to incapacitate anyone who tries to harm their love interest.
However, in contrast to their fierce behavior towards others, when dealing with their love interest directly they act like a regular cute deredere character who loves to cling onto their love interest and be all lovey-dovey and intimate with them. They are someone who is completely open with their feelings and regularly tells their love interest that they love them.
