Romaji: Hinedere) is a term for a character who has a nihilistic world view and at first appears to have a very negative, apathethic, and cynical personality, but is actually very cute, affectionate, and deredere. They are someone who has been wronged by the world somehow in the past causing them to create a cold-hearted and apathetic facade to hide their sensitive and caring feelings. They will get easily annoyed by other people and prefer to be alone out of fear of getting hurt again. They have distorted ways of thinking, often in ways that aren't based on fact or reality, thinking everything is pointless, including love, or that everyone who tries to be nice to them has some kind of an agenda. However, after spending time with their love interest they will start to realize that their way of thinking is wrong. Their love interest will show them that there is more to life and that there is someone who truly loves and cares about them. They will start to enjoy spending time together with them, completely letting go of their past beliefs and revealing the caring and sensitive personality that was hidden underneath their cold-hearted facade. They will start being more openly loving and affectionate towards their love interest and doing things that they previously thought were pointless, such as going on dates or spending time alone together.

NARUTO
Even if I must take the Devil's Fruit, I must gain power. I am an avenger. —Sasuke Uchiha, from NARUTO: Shippuuden
I will acknowledge that you are strong. Because... you are someone who knows the same pain of loneliness that I do. And... that pain makes a person stronger. —Sasuke Uchiha to Naruto Uzumaki, during their final battle from NARUTO: Shippuuden
Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica
Kindness sometimes leads to even greater tragedy. —Homura Akemi, from Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica
A person becomes naïve if they're too kind. Careless if they're too bold. And no matter how hard you try to protect others, there's no gratitude. Those who can't comprehend such things aren't fit to be Magical Girls. —Homura Akemi, from Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica
This world isn't worth saving. Tragedy and sadness will never truly disappear. —Homura Akemi, from Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.
Yui: "Oh, Hiki... S-So... What do you think?" Hachiman: "It it looked even the least bit bad on you, I'd tell you. I was so prepared to make fun on you, too. Too bad I can't." Yui: "Huh? Um... Oh! You could just give me an honest compliment, jerk!" Komachi: "Onii-chan is such a hinedere..." Hachiman: "Don't call me weird, made-up words." —Komachi Hikigaya about Hachiman Hikigaya, from Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.
Fake people have image to maintain, real people just don't care. —Hachiman Hikigaya, from Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.
I hate nice girls. Just by exchanging greetings with them will get them on your mind. Start texting each other, and your heart will be set a flutter. If they call you, you're done for. Enjoy staring at your logs and grinning like a fool. However, I won't be fooled again. That's what your kind calls kindness. If you are nice to me, you're also nice to others. I always end up nearly forgetting that. Reality is cruel, so I'm sure lies are a form of kindness. Thus, I say kindness itself is also a lie. I always ended up with these expectations. And I always ended up with these misunderstandings. And before I knew it, I stopped hoping. A highly-trained loner is once bitten, twice shy. As a veteran on this battlefield of life, I've gotten used to losing. That's why I will always... hate nice girls. —Hachiman Hikigaya, from Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.

Friends are just a crutch for the weak. —Hiei, from Yu☆Yu☆Hakusho
Detective, don't waste your time trying to change their minds. Fight by their meaningless rules and you'll be pulled down with them.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
My style is that I hate everything, especially new kids. —Mandy, from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
I'm leaving for school now, mother. In my absence, I expect my clothes washed, ironed and pressed, my room cleaned, Saliva bathed, my socks color-coordinated, my goth metal posters framed, the house remodeled, the toilet spit-shined, my room painted black, my knives polished and my secret mutant army released into the streets of Endsville. All done by hand. —Mandy, from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Love is for the weak-minded. —Mandy, from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Quotes from Video Games & Visual Novels[]

My soul corrupted by vengeance, hath endured torment, to find the end of my journey in my own salvation... and your eternal slumber... —Genesis Rhapsodos, before his final battle against Zack Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Fire Emblem
Yes, the blood of Loptous' scions flows in my veins, but there is so much more to me than that. My Loptrian heritage is that of Saint Maera, a man who fought for the rights of the people. And more importantly, I am the one true heir to the Crusader Fjalar, Loptous' sworn enemy. I will change this world for the better. Under my rule, humanity shall be free from the pain of prejudice, tyranny and oppression! What a pity it is, that Sigurd must die, but alas, all things require sacrifice. —Arvis, from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu
At long last... Seliph. I must commend your courage, boy. But courage cannot save you now. Not since your dear departed father have I seen such a pathetic worm... My flames shall purge you from this world! —Arvis, from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu
You can't possibly consider fighting without my genius at your side! —Lute, from Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki
You have nothing to worry about. There's no one better than me! —Lute, from Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki
Oh, that's the Demon King, isn't it? Yes, I've read all about him. —Lute, from Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki
Hate... That I could understand. This was denial. They made me feel like I wasn't supposed to exist at all. That my simply being alive was an affront to the world. That was how the beasts treated me. And I hated them for it. It sat in my heart like a lead bar. Like a glacier. —Soren, from Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki
Genshin Impact
Everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
There's no such thing as pure freedom in this world. Even the wind cannot blow on forever. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
There's no need to exchange pleasantries. It's rather pathetic to force a conversation just to occupy silence. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Sometimes it's you using them, other times it's them using you. Most human relationships are this way... certainly all the stable ones are. That's how it was between me and the Fatui, and also between each of the Harbingers. So as long as you have some value to offer, nobody will ever abandon you. —Scaramouche, from Genshin Impact
You're so happy just to see the sun again? How childish. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Fundamentally speaking, there's little difference between snow and rain, yet people lavish praise only upon the former... Fate can be truly arbitrary. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Do you know why I'm so fond of tea? When I drank tea for the first time, all I tasted was bitterness. No matter how much I tried to drink, there was no sign of any kind of sweet aftertaste. At that time, I was sitting awkwardly by some bladesmiths. I was ignorant about the conventions for human conversation and their ways of life. Someone poured out a cup for me, and for lack of anything else to do, I accepted it. Ended up downing one cup, then another, and then another... Hahaha... Now that I think back on it, they probably thought I genuinely liked to drink the stuff. (...) ...And now that I've had a taste of just about every flavor in this world, I've found that actually... bitterness is the one I like best. Spices are just added extras to mask a bland base, and all sweetness does is make the ugly truth easier to stomach... But bitterness is the true flavor of life. Raw and unadulterated. I don't care for dressing things up to make them more palatable. Life is about learning to handle the truth. Bitterness is what it is. It doesn't change because of what comes before or after it. There's no need to kid yourself into thinking that a bitter cup of tea will have a sweet aftertaste. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Finally, another boring day is drawing to a close. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Hobbies? Those are for idle bodies who have the free time to think about such things. Do I look like I have any interest in distractions? —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
Her Royal Highness the Tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. Too gentle, in fact, and that's why she had to harden herself. Likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. —Tartaglia about Tsaritsa, from Genshin Impact
Listen disciple, if you've got a problem you can't handle, then I'm the one for the job. But if you're looking for prayer, you'd better find some other Sister ...Huh? You're not a disciple? —Rosaria, from Genshin Impact
What's weird about a Sister without reverence for the gods? There are hunters who don't eat pork, and fisherman who don't eat fish, aren't there? Just because you do something doesn't mean you love to do it. That's how every job goes. —Rosaria, from Genshin Impact
Everything is negotiable, except overtime. —Rosaria, from Genshin Impact
Pray. Not for the gods, nor the betterment of others... but for yourself. —Rosaria, from Genshin Impact
Honkai Star Rail (spoilers)
Did you come here of your own volition, or was it fate? —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Hasten — we've hardly any time left to say farewell. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Existence is fleeting as the dawn's dew, destined for oblivion. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
On the still waters of oblivion, I guide the wandering souls. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
All will eventually rest upon the earth... —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
This haven of memories, every touch, every moment is like a thorned rose... —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Our journey begins anew. Life passes like a fleeting rain, eventually merging with the ground. May our next encounter be... under a clear sky. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Lone voyagers in the cosmos are driven by two desires: to tread in the trails of the past, and to forge their own way. But under THEIR scrutiny... most end up adhering to the former. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Dreams, in essence, are meaningless. Their purpose is painted by the backdrop of life. Yet, if that backdrop is "emptiness"... then dreams are reduced to colorless, hollow shells. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Black holes aren't spectacular, nor are they fierce. They're silent, like a lone, forlorn gaze watching over you and me... and then gently they consume everything, bestowing a frigid, silent embrace. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
"To cross the same river twice" ...Hardly a hardship. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Never turn back — the path behind is gone. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
The distant vistas are hazy... but must surely hold beauty. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Another blank canvas. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Even before the abyss of a black hole... we still have a choice. —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
...That is enough. Before they vanish completely... I will reach the (Device) Nihility's end (IX). —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Acheron: ...
Aventurine: Nihility... is it?
Acheron: Perhaps to you, I am just an Emanator who's hiding her identity, but... The (Nihility) sleeping and shapeless (IX) never glance at anyone. THEY have no face, no form, and even less of a will to speak... The Nihility envelops everyone equally. Only some who have gone under THEIR shadow can go farther, tainting themselves with more Nihility... That's all.
Aventurine: That's all... My friend, you really leave me at a loss for words. So... Is this my final destination, the land of the dead?
Acheron: This is all but a fleeting dream, one of the thousands of manifestations of IX... Under the watchful eye of Nihility, we momentarily linger here, before moving on to our own paths.
It is pointless to discuss "what-ifs." You have won. Your prize is an entry ticket into that deep sea. And after this, whether you can return from the abyss... is another gamble of yours. ...Have you never wavered? —Acheron, from Honkai Star Rail
Aventurine: ...Before we part, can you answer one more question? As someone who has traveled on that road, can you tell me... Why are we born into this world if it's just to die?
Acheron: I don't think this, and never have. Nor do you.
Aventurine: But the Nihility envelops you and I... and everyone.
Acheron: And because of that, it's pointless.
Aventurine: — But it is still there. If the dice of fate are always weighted, then that is our destiny. Why then... do we struggle against it?
Acheron: ...My answer might not be able to resolve your confusion, because it has been with you throughout your journey, and is already a part of your life. But you said, "Sleep is the rehearsal of death," so why does life sleep? Because we are not ready to welcome death. So you can definitely understand, why we want to be prepared. Even if the ending has been predetermined, that's fine. There are countless things that humans cannot change. But before the end, there are many things that humans can do while on their journey. And because of this, the "end" will thus reveal a completely different meaning. Take a good look at your pocket. Your friend has already given you the answer. ...Good luck.

This is absurd. Then I shall make you see... That your hopes are nothing. Nothing but a mere illusion! —Zexion, to Riku before their battle from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
What is he? No one has ever worn the darkness the same way he does! That's impossible! —Zexion, from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
Pokémon
... ...Humph! He claims to be the Elder but he's weak. It stands to reason. I'd never lose to fools who babble about being nice to Pokémon. I only care about strong Pokémon that can win. I really couldn't care less about weak Pokémon. —Silver to Gold near Olivine City, from Pokémon: Gold, Silver & Crystal
Humph! What are you doing falling into a hole? Some genius you are! Serves you right! —Silver to Gold, from Pokémon: Crystal
...... ...... ...... ...Oh, it's you. You wanted to get stronger, so you came for the legendary Pokémon that's supposed to be here. That's your story, right? Well, that's not going to happen. Because I'm going to get it! I'm going to be the world's greatest trainer, so a legendary Pokémon would be perfect for me. ...Well, anyway. I'm getting tired of having a wimp like you always showing up. —Silver, from Pokémon: Gold & Silver
...Humph! This is why I hate battling wimps. There's no challenge in it. —Silver to Gold, from Pokémon: Gold, Silver & Crystal
... Didn't I tell you that I was going to destroy Team Rocket? ...Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used dragon Pokémon? My Pokémon were no match at all. I don't care that I lost. I can beat him by getting stronger Pokémon. It's what he said that bothers me... He told me that I don't love and trust my Pokémon enough. I'm furious that I lost to a bleeding heart like him. ...Humph! I don't have the time for the likes of you!" —Silver to Gold, from Pokémon: Crystal
