I know this is bait, but I'm triggered anyway.

Puru

Kamille is moe as fuck. Puru doesn't even look like pedobait at all. She's not moe. She doesn't give off the same kind of "I want to protect her" feeling as Sakura, for example. She's relatively young in comparison to the rest of the cast of ZZ, but that's about it.

Sakura is so moe i could die. the moe was such a flame that you could use your own chest to bake bread like an oven. her papa was a baker, wasn't he? you know it. mahou shoujos' parents are always bakers, although sometimes they're also assassins.

I forget what the term comes from, but the concept (then unnamed) comes from Lum.

He was a college professor, not a baker. Trips checked.

No, Lum is supposed to be the prototype tsundere. Moe actually comes from some Sailor Moon character or something like that.
