We may as well occupy ourselves with the question of who the No.1 heroine actually is; let us narrow things down a little to tsundere roles (of the Rie Kugimiya variety) though…
To be more accurate.
Shana and Taiga fit more into the classic tsundere as mentioned by Shiraishi Minoru.
While Louise and Nagi fit into the modern tsundere.
Personally I prefer Shana > Nagi > Taiga > Louise
As you can see, I hate violent women. Louise is a bitch. ZnT should burn in hell.
I-It's not like I expected to see any tsundere posts here, OK!? I w-wanted to vote in the p-p-poll only... O-Only the poll! Though it would have been nice if I actually saw some...
Nagi's the best, but she isn't tsundere. The Palmtop Tiger is a the top tsundere. And she is (barely) tsundere -- with a welcome emphasis on the dere, recently. Shana and Louise are annoying and boring -- especially Louise. I guess you can tell I'm not really a classic tsundere fan.
My vote, Taiga = Shana -> Nagi -> Louise, for basically all of the reasons already mentioned. Toradora's characters feel very much alive, and you will have a wish granted if you touch Taiga :O...ahem, Shana's URUSAI can at times get annoying, but a great character never the less. Nagi...well she's a great otaku hikkikomori, but I just don't find her as great of a character as the other two. Need I say why Louise is at the bottom of my list? LOL
Louise is without a doubt the worst of the four. Tsundere is great and all, but she's simply a sadist, for every one ounce of dere, she delivers seven-fold tsun.
Liking Taiga though, mainly because she doesn't abuse the protagonist every single goddamn scene. There's still a lot of it, but they mitigated the one-sided violence enough as to where it's far more lovable, only a masochist would hang around Louise longer than a week.
And Shana and Nagi are love. Shana luckily evolved past the sadism stage, and Nagi was always great.
I pretty much agree with this. I like the fact that Taiga and Shana developed past mere tsundere. I don't think Nagi really is that tsun tsun though she has tendencies. Louise is just annoying all the way around.
Shana all the way. Nagi is way too much dere, while Louise is far too much tsun for my tastes. That and Shana's tsundere streaks are generally more well done and don't fall prone to becoming overly stupid like they did with Louise or Nagi, but then again, Shana was their predecessor as well so she had quite the lead over them to begin with anyways.
As for Taiga, she is indeed nice, and I would rank her above Nagi and Louise, but she can't compare to Shana at all.
That's like saying ice is what ruins ice cream... and like saying that maid outfits are what ruins the concept of maids... and like saying animation is what ruins anime... and saying that porn is what ruins the internet.
Although taiga fits the tsundere archetype to the bill, she expands tremendously outside of that realm in subsequent episodes, and becomes a far more developed and dimensional character. In many ways she breaks out of her tsundere namesake and becomes a more authentic and real to the viewer. This is in comparison to Louise of course, as Shana is thoroughly well developed as well, but in my honest opinion nowhere as much as Taiga.
Shana=Taiga > Nagi > Louise is my preferred ordered choice.
I predict much trolling on this article~
what better way to portray Taiga as a heroine besides leaving almost no clothing and looking like she's going to be taken right there.

She's wearing lingerie. Who the heck would wear swimsuit and go to the pool/beach with glass higheels..

What the hell? Why aren't you guys choosing Nagi?
Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Valliere will always have a spot on my heart.
Taiga in lingerie with heels, I'd like to see what it'd take to get her in that outfit animated.
I just can't understand how so many people can like those annoying tsundere bitches. especially the Kugimiya Rie ones. her voice makes me cringe.
out of those four, I'll pick Nagi because she annoys me the least.
Not sure how to think of Shana... never watched the anime.... and Loise gives me the shivers.
Between Nagi and Taiga... I think Taiga makes a better Tsunderella. ^^
inb4 'old pun is old' statements.
Why bother picking one if you may have four of them >.<
You're gonna be nothing but a pile of black and blue bruises if you get all four XD
tsudere are phag orz
DAMIT PEOPLE!!!
LOUISE, SHANA, NAGI, AND TAGIA ARE NOT TSUNDERES!!! THEY ARE BITCHES!!!
Kagami (Lucky Star), Rin (Fate Stay Night), Asuna (Negima), THEY are Tsunderes!
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN'Y YOU PEOPLE TELL THE DIFFERENCE!?!?!?!?!?
Cause the characters u state are not godly enough

Taiga! I might get lucky if I touch her...

Actually , kugimiyas best tsundere is Katarigi Yuuhi :p
Actually, Kugyuu's best tsundere act was her first: Cyberdoll May fro Hand Maid May.
Guess it just makes sense that any famous character gets the raves.
rawr! no kagamin :3
and Eri (School Rumble)
>Tsundere
RIN!
>Loli Tsundere
Nagi!
tsundere! tsundere! alert alert!

Agreed.
That's a bit harsh... I love all 4, can't choose.
They are all mai wafus
Louise>Shana>Nagi>Taiga
I haven't seen much of Toradora so I put Taiga last.
I see you're into S&M play.
Taiga and Shana are win tsundere for me lol
For Louise I just love the character but I also like the new anime series Toradora Taiga Aisaka too. I can't choose one T_T.
Taiga is what ruins toradora IMHO.
But what RUNS Toradora????!
That's like saying ice is what ruins ice cream... and like saying that maid outfits are what ruins the concept of maids... and like saying animation is what ruins anime... and saying that porn is what ruins the internet.
that last metaphore was genius
as for the pool, i'd say shana = taiga (like 'em both too much to decide =x)> nagi
can't say anything about louise cuz i never watched zero no tsukaima (thats the anime she's from, right?)
Inko-chan is what ruins Toradora...
Kitamura is what ruins Toradora
This is madness!
Blasphemy!
Taiga for President!!!
Oh man Inko-chan <3 Wish I could agree that Inko-chan ruins Toradora, but alas, I cannot.
THIS
IS
SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Minorin is what ruins Toradora.
THIS IS MADNESS
THIS IS HERESY
ALL CHARACTERS IN TORADORA FUCKING ROCKS. PERIOD. INKO-CHAN IS MADE OF WIN.
THERE, FIXED FOR YOU ALL.
Where's the Shanatan option?
Shana is more hard-core tsundere, I think. Plus she swings a big flaming sword.
Taiga and Nagi = win
Shana and Louise = fail
partly because only the later 2 are tsundere.
Let the fanboyism begin.
Taiga is not tsundere?
Although taiga fits the tsundere archetype to the bill, she expands tremendously outside of that realm in subsequent episodes, and becomes a far more developed and dimensional character. In many ways she breaks out of her tsundere namesake and becomes a more authentic and real to the viewer.

A proper comment that makes complete sense on Sankaku Complex?
Wow.
I have to agree with you entirely, except I think Taiga is a little bit better than Shana.
YOU FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL.
your an idiot how could you NOT love shana-tan!
