Tanya, the protagonist of Saga of Tanya the Evil, usually shows her leader-like side as a squad leader, and her quick mind allows her to act as a strategist. When it comes to battle, her achievements are unparalleled and immeasurable. However, Tanya is still a little girl, not even 10 years old. Many people may have forgotten, so I'll say it again: she is a little girl!!! The more you watch the anime, the more you will see that even though she doesn't seem like a little girl, there are definitely scenes where she looks like a little girl. We'll introduce you to some of those little girl-like scenes.
Tanya's Exaggeratedly Little Girlish Look
We pledge to wage war fairly and honorably in accordance with international law. Warning, we are about to attack military facilities.
Tanya launches a surprise attack on an enemy arsenal during the Battle of Dacia. In order to comply with international agreements, she declares war. Her childlike voice at the time, shocking everyone around her, makes for a truly brilliant start.
What a brilliant idea! If she'd left it to someone else, the surprise attack would have been pointless. And her first appearance as a little girl is irresistible.
Just changing the tone of your voice can really change the impression. It was a scene I wanted to watch dozens of times.
Even though it's war, the enemy's relaxed expressions make them think it's just a little girl playing a prank, and it becomes clear that the plan was a great success.
Tanya, who just woke up, behaves like a little girl and is adorable.
In Episode 4 of the anime, we can see Tanya's little girl-like face as she wakes up, along with her little girl-like voice saying "fuwaaa." The sight of Tanya wrapped in slightly oversized pure white pajamas is so cute it's almost impossible to forget that this is a war anime.
Tanya is a young girl, so she can't reach books that are up high.
It's very young girl-like that she can't reach a book that's not particularly high up in the War College library, even when she stretches her neck. Trying to reach it without relying on anyone is so Tanya-like. Tanya's childhood was a blessing, as she was able to connect with Zettour by having him retrieve the book that hadn't reached him.
Tanya looks adorable sitting in a child's chair at the dinner table.
When dining with superiors, the military tables are not designed for children. The tables and chairs are too big for Tanya, so she sits in a small child's chair.
Tanya is a young girl, so it makes sense that she'd be sitting in a child's chair, but the composition of a young girl and a child's chair, despite the serious nature of the conversation, is somehow surreal, funny, and cute. No matter how well she did at military school or how successful she was in the war, there seems to be a common perception that she is still a young girl. It seems like they have trouble knowing how to handle her.
Even during the strategy meeting, Tanya is adorable, explaining things while trying not to reach her limits.
The scene during the strategy meeting where Tanya uses a ballpoint pen to explain her goals is just as childish as the one in the library. Why is this out-of-reach situation so adorable? However, I think it would be nice if someone helped her or provided a step stool for her.
Summary
Tanya's childlike side was evident in this scene.
Even though she spoke like an adult, she was still treated like a child within the military, which was somehow endearing. But inside, he's an old man.
