Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy your unedited access to my detailed analysis of Bocchi the Rock Episode 5. The show continues to get more and more wholesome, beautiful, and heartwarming :')

WHAT AN AUDITION THAT WAS!

The word (for Frieren, Serie, and Big Sis) is “tsundere”. I have no clue as to how to pronounce it…😉 As a totally solo-shy musician in high school, I’m really enjoying this series – actually watching it for the first time with you in these unedited posts, and glad of that, since otherwise all those crazy wonderful changes of animation/style/perspective that are over in 1.5 seconds would go by much too fast for me! Thanks so much for doing this one.

I know, the devils in the details for real with this show especially! As you can tell, how much I grew fond of this show already. Glad to have taken a break from heavy shows 🤣

Frieren is more Kuudere imho.

The episode title “Flightless Fish” made me think of the book “The Tao of Pooh” where they use the Winnie the Pooh song “Cottleston Pie” to demonstrate the Taoist principle of Inner Nature. “Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fly can’t bird, but a bird can fly. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fish can’t whistle and neither can I. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, Why does a chicken? I don’t know why. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.” It’s Pooh pondering why things are the way they are and deciding that sometimes things just are the way they are so stop overthinking it. Inner Nature is the big theme of this episode. Unless it’s a flying fish, “flightless” is part of the Inner Nature of a fish - it cannot and does not need explaining. A fish can’t impress others by being a bird. It needs to be itself. Bocchi finally showed her Inner Nature. And that allowed Kessoku Band to show who they really are. Ryo and Nijika noticed, and so did the manager. Bocchi is always worried about being something that she is not - like a “flightless fish.” But when she allows her Inner Nature to show, we get to see how a fish can “fly” through the water.

Oh WOW. This is amazing reference and explanations. I think you’re spot on, the show is even deeper than I already thought highly of

Levanah

Ah, another word to learn! 😊 Now that I've googled it, yes, I agree with you. Thanks!

And thanks for the shout-out to Tao of Pooh! One of my favorites since high school.

I agree so strongly with the feeling of a motivation feeling stronger or more concrete when it is linked to a group for my personal life. For example, I love team sports and can exercise for hours in a team. However, send me to the gym alone and I'll get hardly anything done. Maybe it's because when I'm in a team I get distracted from the exhaustion? Not entirely sure. Otherwise, in team sports I work hard because I know that the better I am, the better the team is and that really helps. Anyways, thanks for listening to my yap

Always love these reactions, even though I've rewatched BTR for about 20+ times now, I still can't wait for the next one.

And you're a pro yapper, I learn a lot of things every video🫡

nonononono tsundere is someone who can't say their true feelings, so they say the opposite of what they are feeling. The answer is kuudere

nik

You're thinking of a Kuudere. Frieren is a Kuudere. Kuudere (クーデレ) is a "dere" architype that represents a really cold-seeming person. Someone who doesn't really say their true feelings and end up seeming very cold and distant. The word derives from the english word "Cool" クール. The sister here is different to Frieren though. The sister here is just a Tsundere (ツンデレ). That dere architype is just someone who says the opposite of what they truly feel. For example, they will say they hate you when they love you. Kuuderes don't say either. They just stay chill lol

Levanah

As I said to Krisko94, I agree about Frieren being kuudere, now that I know the word. Thanks for the detailed linguistic breakdown in your other comment. Always something to learn.

Levanah

And to bring in yet another anime Benoit is reacting to, would you call Mao-Mao a Tsundere?

Psychotherapist Reacts

From the definitions mentioned above, doesn’t seem like it - she’s quite honest and speaks truthfully

Levanah

w/r/t Mao-Mao, I actually meant to say “Kuudere” in my comment above, but now that I think about it, I agree, she’s neither.

nik

I've watched only the first season of apothecary diaries. From what I know of MaoMao, she's neither a tsundere nor a kuudere. Although she exhibits some Tsundere traits in the way she treats Jingshi.
