Fan Nickname/Anime and Manga/Bleach


 * Arrowlad - Uryuu Ishida, for obvious reasons. Also, when his father showed up, fans quickly dubbed the guy Arrowdad.
 * Big McLargeHuge, Thick McRunfast, Dirk Hardpec, etc. - The silent, tall and muscley bodyguard of the princess in the latest filler arc. All MST3K references.
 * Also from the Shusuke Amagai filler arc:
 * Fillergami - derisive term for Shinigami created for the filler.
 * Captain Tuning Fork - The new filler-only captain who wields a secondary weapon. Three guesses what it looks like.
 * And for the Big Bad, for being a ripoff of Aizen. Their first names are even similar: , as well as another "traitor", Kisuke.
 * This making Squad 3 the "Traitor Squad", or Rogue Squadron. That's three captains in a row that turned their backs on Soul Society (though the first didn't have a choice)
 * Captain Bitchninja - Soi Fon, cold and aloof female leader of the ninja Secret Remote Squad.
 * Also Soi Bean.
 * Soi Milk.
 * Soi Vay?
 * Soy Phone
 * Dedede, SOI!
 * Roflcopter
 * Cell Phone?
 * Captain Broken - Sosuke Aizen, for having abilities too powerful for an anime character: for instance, stopping the main character's sword attack with one finger. Also known as "Captain Superman/Evil Superman", as a reference to his invincibility and to his Evil Makeover resembling Clark Kent's switch to Superman (minus the suit).
 * The Other Sasuke - Their first names sound alike and they both betray their people, not to mention being utterly massive Base Breakers.
 * Captain Xanatos: 'Cause he's The Chessmaster.
 * Aizen's strand of hair that isn't pulled back is known as The Bitchcurl.
 * has picked up a few less-than-respectful ones, such as, and
 * And now that
 * As of chapter 415,
 * And now, as of chapter 419,  - Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:  . Less NSFW-ish(and as a result, less common), we have
 * And to get to his Mullet form and Butterflizen form, Aizen is said to have gone through "Gagafication".
 * Captain Consumption (or Captain Tuberculosis) - Ukitake, who coughs quite a bit in his initial appearances.
 * Word of God says he has tuberculosis (Not that this even makes SENSE, what with being a magical ghost and all).
 * Now that we know Sogyo no Kotowari's shikai abilities, Captain NO U seems fitting.
 * Captain Furry - Sajin Komamura. It's actually pretty obvious.
 * AKA Captain Eatyourface (when he used to wear a mask to hide his appearance)
 * Captain Mom - Retsu Unohana. Motherly and soft-spoken, she is like a mother figure to her squad and pretty much everyone in Soul Society. Considering you don't bully her squads constantly, of course.
 * Captain Shota - Toushirou Hitsugaya. Also sometimes called "Captain Jobber", due to the fact that he could never win against truly powerful opponents despite his position, and even against weaker ones he still has to struggle.
 * Lately, Hitsugaya also has a derogatory nickname HitsuFAILya by those who hate him due to his popularity and jobbing, and especially so forumers would escape post modding because there's the word 'gay' amongst his name. $hitsugaya is also good.
 * In a similar vein, some also call him IceFail, in reference to his zanpakuto's relatively ineffective ice attacks.
 * Captain Bankai Whore, since he never bothers with his Shikai, every time after his first fight he uses Bankai. Though this is sometimes also used to refer to Ichigo (minus the "Captain" part, for obvious reason). (Both of them tend to go straight to bankai because their shikais kind of suck.)
 * The Christmas Tree - One of his Bankai's special abilities that he uses to . Guess what it looks like?
 * Less derogatorily, another good nickname in the vein of Captain Shota is "Captain Kid". Bonus points for being one letter short of Captain Kidd.
 * Captain Grumpypants, due to his perpetually grumpy mood.
 * Weak Captain Ed, in a reference to his other character...
 * Vice Captain Jobber - Renji Abarai has often been called this even before Hitsugaya, because he jobs in practically almost every fight he's in, after his first jobbing against Ichigo.
 * Captain Batman: Mayuri, after a recent chapter.
 * Not to be confused with the Goddamn Batman, a name for Emocar's release.
 * Also, captain freakshow
 * AKA "Psychomime"
 * Captain Jigsaw, anyone?
 * Captain Juggalo, also.
 * Clown-face is a rather popular one in the fan fiction community.
 * Captain Lulz: Gin Ichimaru.
 * AKA Captain Rapeface
 * AKA Captain Asshole
 * AKA Captain Smiley (no, not Him)
 * The Other Hazama - Named for the now famous Expy of himself who is currently the God of Trolling.
 * Captain Betterthanu: Byakuya Kuchiki
 * Stevie Wonder: Kaname Tosen
 * Dragon Boobs - Orihime, due to her massive pair of breasts, and that her special power is akin to the most common wish used when using the Dragon Balls: reviving the dead.
 * Whorihime - derisive nickname for Orihime, principally from those who do not like either her character or her choice of love interests and fixate on her big breasts to insult her.
 * Orihime In The Way, because her last name, Inoue, almost sounds like "in the way", due to her being in the way of fights that she would lose and would otherwise allow her comrades to win.
 * Namek - Soul Society, to people that view it as a Plot Tumor. In "honor" of the setting of the long, long Frieza arc in Dragonball Z. Usage: "Are they still on Namek?"
 * In the same vein, Hueco Mundo, better known as Mexico. "They still stuck in Mexico?" This lost some of its power when the story shifted to the arc, although Ichigo and his friends are still inside "Mexico". Both have lost their luster due to the fact that the heroes are no longer in either dimensions in canon.
 * Plotkai - Any new plot power that appears. It's also applied to any Ass Pull on the show plot twist the user is dissatisfied.
 * Old Man Genocide - Captain Yamamoto, for his role in the destruction of both the Quincy and the Bount.
 * Also "Captain Triggerhappy".
 * Captain "TREASON!", for his completely illogical decisions for damning someone. He actually doesn't use the word often, but fans have exaggerated it.
 * Shirosaki - Ichigo's inner hollow. "Shirosaki" is a play on the black/white symbolism (Kuro means black, Shiro means white), as he looks almost exactly like Ichigo, only in negative. In the English-fandom he's known as Wichigo/Hichigo (white/hollow). There are also alternate fan nicknames for this: Ogihci ('Ichigo' spelled backwards), "Hollowichi", or even "our DLHF" (Dear Little Hollow Friend).
 * Titty Kubo, Kubo Tits, Beaucoup Titties, Kubo Titties, etc - Tite Kubo. One look at Rangiku Matsumoto (or half the women in the cast) should tell you why.
 * "HAG" (Hot Arrancar Girl) - Before Tia Harribel's name was revealed, she was known to many as this.
 * Before she transformed the nickname was Underboob.
 * Or Halle Berry.
 * The Saddest Clown in the World/Mexico- Ulquiorra Cifer, a stoic Arrancar whose Facial Markings, Perpetual Frown and chalk-white skin make him look like a crying, whiteface clown.
 * Ulq[Insert Random gibberish here] - because some people don't like trying to spell his name.
 * Ulqiblahblah - For The Stoic, he sure does talk a lot.
 * "Emo Clown" is another popular one.
 * Also, "Emocar" (his facial markings bear a resemblance to emo makeup).
 * Emospada. Hell, anything with 'emo' in it tends to work.
 * Alky Whora. Just because.
 * L-quiorra, because he looks and acts like L from Death Note.
 * He is also known as Ukelala.
 * Likewise 'Uke-orra'.. and his release mode is 'ULK SMASH!'
 * In a similar vein, "Arrancat" or "Grimmkitty" for Grimmjow (his zanpakuto is a panther form).
 * It becomes more obvious where the nickname comes from when he releases  No amount of deliberate sword names can save him from it.
 * He's also CAPTAIN PLANET! And you'd better protect the environment, or he'll F-beep-ing kill you! CAPTAIN PLANET!
 * Aaroniero Arruruerie has quite a few nicknames, since the alternative is to type that ridiculous name out. "Rufflecar" is a Portmanteau of "Ruffles" and "Arrancar", based on his very ...well, ruffly clothes. is also sometimes used, since Aaroniero takes on the appearance and mannerisms of  Lastly,
 * Habeñero, because why the hell not? (It sounds like Habenero)
 * Zomari has a few nicknames, too. The most common one is "Shaq Fu", since he looks like Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal. Alternatively, there's a variation of "Las Noches" that uses... a different n-word. Three guesses where that nickname came from (hint: it starts with "4" and ends with "chan").
 * Sizzle - Szayel. Or, as this troper's mom calls him, "Pinkie" or "Pink-haired geek". Also, Brocon of fail.
 * Also, Pinkyspada.
 * Barragan's name is often abbreviated as Barry.
 * Bitchfitcar or Tantrumcar - Name given to him after in Chapter 370.
 * Also from Chapter 370 we have . Another name that would work is "".
 * Also Skull Knight when he first showed his true form although this was more joking ("Skull Knight is that you?")
 * And Skeletor, for the same reason.
 * QUALITY - The heavily Off Model animation found in Filler arcs.
 * RAEPFACE - Any Off Model and creepy looking face, especially those made by [[media:1569wee.jpg|Ikkaku]] or Gin.
 * "THIS IS MY FILLER FACE! -insert goofy narmic face here-
 * The Bancouch - Aizen's ridiculously large couch.
 * The Couch Behind The Man
 * Cherry blossom petals Of Doom, or "Death of a thousand paper cuts" - Byakuya Kuchiki's shikai and bankai, due to the fact that it's a perfectly accurate description.
 * The Most Fabulous Weapon Ever: when used, it shoots pink flowers at you, while he tries to look as stylish as possible.
 * Soul Penis - the Zanpakutou. (Snickers were heard throughout the Soul Society when Ichigo was described as having a zanpakutou as long as he was tall and lacking in impulse control.)
 * And remember kids, never judge a man by the size of his... sword.
 * And then there's the manner in which Mayuri carries around his zanpakutou.
 * Spooncar - The arrancar Nnoitra Jiruga, due to his enormous oval-shaped collar. Hoody is also appropriate.
 * Pumpkincar - The arrancar Zommari Leroux, because his released form looks like a giant pumpkin with eyes.
 * Papagami-, for obvious reasons.
 * The fan fiction community seems to like calling him goat-chin or goat-face.
 * Lolinette - Lilinette, Stark's half-dressed little girl fraccion.
 * Superchunky - The giant one-eyed hollow that appears at the end of the Soul Society arc and Taken from the name of the chapter in which the latter happens, "Superchunky from Hell." Its real name is "Fura".
 * Captain Pedosmile - Gin Ichimaru. Ikkaku and Kenpachi too, giving Unfortunate Implications about their division...
 * Especially when you take that squad's Vice Captain into account...
 * Rogue Captains - Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tousen.
 * Also referred to as The Traitor Triumvirate.
 * Or the "Bad-Eyesight-Trio". Because, you know, one has glasses(and destroys those dramatically), one never opens his eyes and one's blind...
 * Karakuri Town -.
 * The Pimpcoat - Ichigo's Bankai outfit.
 * Butler-kun - Sasakibe Choujirou, Captain Yamamoto's lieutenant.
 * Afro-san - Zennosuke Kurumadani. Bonus points for this actually being started by the manga itself and catching on with the fans (Keigo uses it).
 * Also Afrogami.
 * De-armed - What Ichigo does to Yammy after the titanic arrancar obliterates Chad.
 * Also Diss-Armed, as a combination retaliation and insult.
 * Speaking of Yammy, we have.
 * Ichigo's Angels - The opening for seasons 11 and 12, using Shojo S by Scandal, specifically Matsumoto, Orihime, and Rukia. Many have also compared them to Bond girls since the OP is a lot like a typical opening for those movies.
 * Captain Calvinball -
 * Speaking of which, Kyoraku, King of Games.
 * And Captain Grab-@$.
 * Ichigo's  in Chapter 350 is sometimes (incorrectly) called "Vasto Lorde Ichigo". Other names include "Mullet Hollow", "Bull Ichigo", "Demon Ichigo" and "Hell Knight Ichigo".
 * Also "Super Hollow Ichigo", seeing how his hair grew real long, like Goku when he goes SSJ3.

 * Robo-hime or Mecha-hime: Orihime's "Future Self".

 * "Main Characters": Chad and Uryu
 * Poor Chad: Not the character, but the treatment of him, especially in the filler
 * Arrankid: Wonderweiss Margera.
 * Bam Margera.
 * And from his, we also have BAMF Margera.
 * Thunderthighs/Thundertheiss: His resurreccion.
 * Wondy, Wonderbread
 * For Tousen's
 * Say it with me now... 'Heeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeee! Heeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'
 * Sogy-chan and Koto-chan: The twin spirits of Captain Ukitake's zanpakutou Sogyo no Kotowari. Which one's which is anybody's guess.
 * Finger Cannon: Whatever it was that used to send   flying off through 3 buildings. Seen here.
 * It should be called the F*** YOU Cannon. Because he uses THAT finger.
 * George is the name of, due to a lack of any other sensical thing working.
 * Zanbyakuya: Used derisively for, which bears a striking resemblance to the 6th Division Captain.
 * Pin Cushion: Momo Hinamori between Aizen's Reveal and when Hitsugaya, mostly a joke by fans with a dark humorish outlook.
 * Shikon no Tama (or Philosopher's Stone): the Hougyokou.
 * Alternately, the "Hoagie". (Mmm, deli sandwiches of cosmic power...)
 * Ramen Aizen: Ginjou, from when all we knew about him was that he looked like Aizen in smug mode and that he was carrying a bowl of ramen around for no apparent reason.

 * Bitchgami and Shrimpgami - Shino and Yuki, the two Shinigamis who show up in 480. Shino is Bitchgami due to her massive Tsundereness; Yuki is Shrimpgami because of his Shrinking Violet and Butt Monkey traits.
 * Alternatively, those who don't like using Bitchgami refer to Shino as Tsungami instead.
 * From Game FAQs comes Kenpachi the Bloodedge because his English voice actor quit and was replaced by Ragna's VA.
