"Sunao Heat" (JP) is a term for a character who expresses their love and affection honestly and straightforwardly with an intense passion. They express their feelings enthusiastically and are passionate about love. They are the kind of character who will suddenly burst out into a love confession to their love interest one moment and be deredere towards them the next.

Etymology

Meaning of the Term

Sunao heat (素直ヒート) comes from the words "sunao" (素直), meaning "honest" or "straightforward (upfront about one's feelings)", and "hiito" (ヒート), meaning "heat (an intense and passionate feeling, enthusiasm)". The word "sunao" (素直) itself comes from the word "su" (素), meaning "real feelings" and "nao" (直), meaning "direct or bluntly (being straight to the point)".[1][2]

  • Sunao = Honestly expressing feelings of love
  • Hiito = Intense and passionate feelings

They will honesty express their intense and passionate feelings.

Origin

The archetype was created as a derivative of sunao cool on the Japanese Internet in 2006.[3]

Sunao heat characters are very passionate, especially when it comes to love and their love interest. They are the type who expresses their thoughts towards their love interest honestly and passionately, sometimes overwhelmingly, and may suddenly burst out in a love confession. They express their love and affectionate openly and they love their partner wholeheartedly. They act like a very passionate deredere character.[1]

Differences From Other Archetypes

This type is very similar to megadere (Western) since both types are very open with their affection and give large displays of affection, so many characters will be both types. The main difference is that megadere is more based on fawning over their love interest and admiring them, while sunao heat is about passionately confessing their love.

This type could be seen as a mix of deredere and genkikko since they are openly lovestruck like a deredere character and passionate and enthusiastic like a genkikko.

Their directness and outburst of love is also similar to that of yandere, but yandere also includes downer types so not all yandere are heated. Sunao heat characters also do not act negatively towards others.[1]

It's an archetype that is on the completely opposite end from tsundere.[1]

A type of character who expresses their thoughts honestly and passionately (often in a swelteringly hot manner). They can also be described as a character who is passionate about love. It is not similar to the "sunao cool" type, and is at the opposite end of the spectrum from tsundere. The directness and outburst of love is similar to that of yandere (however, yandere also include downer types, so not all yandere are heated).”
