What is Gire?

The suffix gire ギレ is sometimes added to these personality words instead of dere デレ.

The word gire comes from the verb kireru キレる, which means "to snap" or “be mad”. To lose your patience. To be done with. To have had the last drop. To burst with anger. To get the last string holding your anger down cut. That's what kireru means.

The gire versions of personalities often have nothing to do with love or romance at all. They just lean towards aggressive, abusive or violent behavior.

For now there are three gire types found on multiple sites, and I’ll start from the most well known.

Yangire

Example - Kurumi Tokisaki from Date A Live

Yangire (also referred to "Cute and Psycho") is a Japanese term used to refer to normal people who suddenly become violent, sometimes due to a past trauma. Yangires are very similar to Yanderes, both are people who suffer from personality disorder and can easily become violent and extremely dangerous. However, Yangires are far, far more chaotic and they can be much worse than Yanderes.

A Yangire is character whom snaps suddenly out jealousy, irritation or similar. Unlike a Yandere, they are not motivated by the love of another, in other words, a Yandere acts only with the love of another person, while a Yangire is kind of free spirit and would commit atrocities randomly by their own will.

Tsungire

Example - Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia

A tsungire ツンギレ character is a tsundere devoid of love and filled with rage.

This means an annoyed character that won't say "w-w-why would I do that for you? baka something-kun!" and will instead say "Why would I do that for you? Fuck off, you imbecile. Talk to me again and I'll make you regret being born into your pathetic life."

Because of this, tsungire characters are pretty much unapproachable. And if you're smart and value your life, you wouldn't approach them not even with a ten foot pole.

A tsungire character doesn't need to be in love with any character or even interested romantically.

Kuugire

Example - Rachel “Ray” Gardner from Angels of Death

Kuugire (ク ー ギ レ) - from the English cool, and kireru "cruel, prone to violence" is another subtype of kuudere characters, whose character, with the further development of the plot, reveals not a loving and caring, but a cruel side. Kuugire may have sadistic personality traits and a passion for destruction, or treat people with contempt and without any sympathy, but at the same time they act detached, coldly, prudently, without showing their emotions and their attitude to what is happening around them.

Kuugire differ from yangire as such by the absence of sudden mood swings. Kuugire characters are almost always antagonists and/or negative characters. Characters who kill against their will and feel compassion for their victims do not belong to the kuugire category.
