 * Marsh-Malo - MaloMyotismon/BelialVamdemon from Digimon Adventure 02. So named because of his lackluster performance (mostly standing and ranting without actually doing much) and then his very undignified end.
 * Masaharu is the Fanon name for Matt/Yamato's father. (Turns out he's got an official name, Hiroaki, even though it wasn't used in anything.)
 * Takatomon - Agumon in Digimon Savers, due to being voiced by Brian Beacock, who also voiced Takato in Digimon Tamers. Comes from Guilmon's actual nickname for Takato.
 * Bio Trio - Kouki, Ivan, and Nanami, Kurata's Quirky Miniboss Squad, and fairly popular villains, despite appearing in about three episodes each.
 * Digimon Adventure is often abbreviated "01," to match the second series, Digimon Adventure 02. The "02" is actually short for "2002," the year the story takes place, however, although they probably chose that year because it ended in two. Likewise, Tamers and Frontier are "03" and "04," although this isn't used as often as it used to be, as they're separate continuities from the Adventure-verse.
 * On a similar note, because Digimon Xros Wars the Young Hunters Leaping Through Time is an Overly Long Title, the season is mostly known as either "Hunters" or "Xros Hunters".
 * Footballhead - A derisive nickname for Renamon, whose head (according to said detractors) is shaped like an American football.

 * Veggie - Vegeta.
 * This isn't entirely a fan nickname, though. Ginyu actually refers to him as "Vege-Chan" a few times to taunt him
 * Kushami - Blonde, gun-crazy Lunch. Coined as shorthand by Curtis Hoffmann in his early summaries of manga chapters. It's Japanese for "sneeze," because Lunch changes personalities and hair color whenever she sneezes. Has reached the point where parts of the fandom are convinced that it's actually her name.
 * Mrs. Briefs - For Bulma's mother, since her husband is named Dr. Briefs. However, it is never actually clarified whether "Briefs" is actually a family surname or a given name (especially considering nearly everyone in Dragon Ball has Only One Name).
 * Word of God says that her actual first name is Pansy, which is a pun of panties.
 * Mirai (Trunks) - For Future Trunks, "Mirai Briefs" in some fanfiction when he returns to the normal timeline and lives with the 'other' Trunks. Crosses with Gratuitous Japanese.
 * Ultra-Super-Saiyan (Ussj) - The pumped-up SSJ forms Vegeta and Future Trunks use against Cell, since their actual names are less wieldy.
 * ASS: Used to poke fun at the dub, which calls this form Ascended Super Saiyan.

 * Linkin Ball Z - A DBZ Fan Vid set to Linkin Park. So common they've got a nickname.

 * - Mikado, for those who've read ahead of the anime and know that . Moekado and kado are also quite popular.
 * Masaomi Kida is Brosaomi Kida. Moesaomi also popped up once the show started breaking him.
 * Trollzaya - Izaya, for obvious reasons
 * Shizuo Musou - the Shizuo vs. Vorona warehouse fight in volume 6
 * Tsugaru and Psyche - Shizuo and Izaya as they appear on the series' OST and cover song albums. Often treated as separate characters. Even more often shipped with each other. A new "character", Delic, has also been recently created in this manner with the release of the second half of the Durarara OST.

 * Earth Maiden Arjuna: Captain Planet: The Anime

 * Broskander the Great - Also Zero!Rider, for being Waver's awesome mentor
 * GARserker - for being GAR

 * Fullmetal Alchemist
 * Colonel Clean - Armstrong, as he is both bald and has sparkles that surround him for some gags.

 * SPOILER for chapters 79 and 80 of the manga:
 * Hagaren - The whole series, whose complete Japanese title is Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (The Alchemist of Steel).
 * Ho-Ho Papa - Hohenheim. Came about due to the difficult spelling of his German name. Ironically, in the manga his original name is Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim, but is shortened because the person who named him thought he was too stupid to remember it.
 * That's not correct, after he called him just "Van Hohenheim", dropping the "Theophrastus Bombastus" entirely.
 * Also spelled Hohopapa, and also called simply "Hoho".
 * Note than in Hiromu Arakawa's official Yonkoma for the anime,  calls him "Hoen" (with a long "o"). Possibly, part of the reason why he isn't nicknamed "Hoho" in Japanese is because it actually means something ("cheek" among others) in Japanese.
 * Hoju: . Short for.
 * Moofy -  of the anime had no name in canon for a time, and gained the nickname from his fuffy hair.
 * Mr. Monopoly - Since Brotherhood this is officially the nickname of the Silver Alchemist. The resemblance is uncanny.

 * Sexyhobo - Scar. 'Cause he is.
 * Scarbro - Scar's unnamed brother.
 * Shinri-kun or (its anglophone equivalent) Truth-kun -
 * Shota Mcshadowrape -
 * Ninaxander -
 * . Actually used by Ed in-series
 * The Pimp Suit - The pristine white suit Solf J. Kimblee wears. Because of this, he is occasionally known as Pimp!Kimblee. The same suit is actually a tribute to Alex De Large - so Kimblee De Large works well.
 * Smooth Criminal or Terumi have recently surfaced from watching the dub, seeing as how Kimblee is, well, a massive Troll like Terumi,
 * The Eclipse - Berserk reference used by some fans in reference to.
 * "Cyclops Army" for the ravenous, one-eyed Mannequin Soldiers/Doll Soldiers (depending on the translation)
 * "Terminarcher" - In the first anime, Archer, an unpleasant military officer (who only exists in that telling) is made into a suspiciously advanced cyborg after having half his face (or half his head, it's hard to tell) blown off.
 * And by "half his head", we mean "half of his entire body".
 * "The anime" -- If someone refers to "the anime" they're definitely talking about the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime.
 * Gankutsuou
 * Al or Aru: Albert
 * Ed or Edo: Edmond (Dantes) (...how dare you, you philistines!)
 * Gank: the show itself.
 * Getter Robo
 * Batshit Ryoma - Ryoma Nagare, specifically in the OVAs, who takes Hot Bloodedness to the point of certifiable insanity. The Armageddon version is the definitive version, and typically the version people mean by "Batshit Ryouma".
 * Kenny - Mushashi
 * GE - Good Ending
 * Shirou - Utsumi, both for his looks and personality
 * Gintama
 * Oogushi-kun: Hijikata. Actually derived from canon, as Gintoki mistook Hijikata for a boy in a Japanese folktale in an early appearance. The fans later co-opted this long after the gag had passed.
 * Happiness
 * The Haruhi Everyone Forgot - Haruhi Kamisaka: Despite being the main heroine of the show, pretty much no one remembers her or even what the show was about, if it wasn't for Jun's unexpected popularity as a trap on par with Bridget, the show would have pretty much been forgotten by now.
 * Hayate the Combat Butler
 * Hayate the Combat Butt Monkey: pretty self-explanatiory considering how Hayate ends up getting treated most of the time.
 * NOM-NOM-tan: Ayumu Nishizawa, for the fact that she's always seen eating something... sometimes suggestively. Somehow, she's still one of the more "normal" members of the cast.
 * Watanuki vi Britannia: The Puppet Butler voiced by Jun Fukuyama.
 * Given her recent chapters having been possessed by a cat-spirit, Izumi has been dubbed 'Izu-nyan' for her apparent attraction to felines and moe appeal while interacting with them (and a pun on Azusa's nickname).
 * Hellsing
 * Girlycard/Femcard/Lolicard - Alucard in the Hellsing: The Dawn prequel, where, instead of the present-day Badass Longcoat form everyone knows, he looks like an adolescent girl in a pillbox hat.
 * Babycard/Chibicard - Alucard, as he's depicted briefly in flashbacks in volume nine of the manga. As a preteen boy.
 * Bondagecard - Mostly used in the cosplay community, referring to another of Alucard's getups, involving a skintight, dark red, straitjacket-like bodysuit.

 * Sensei Rapeface - Shido, for obvious reasons.
 * Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
 * K1 or K - Keiichi Maebara. A legitimate translation of his name ("Kei" being the pronounciation for K, and "ichi" translating to "one".) The latter is used in-series as an alternate persona.
 * Cleaver Girl - Rena Ryuugu, for her iconic Weapon of Choice.
 * Droopy, Nurse Droopy, or Droopy-tan - Takano, for her perpetually stoned (and droopy!) appearance.
 * Mr. Delicious - Kuraudo Ooishi, because of his name's closeness to oishii, which means "delicious". His appearance and drawl don't hurt, either.
 * Shmion - The collective name for the Sonozaki identical twins, Mion and Shion, due to being Creepy Twins with a tendency to Twin Switch, including
 * That Psycho Yandere Chick Who Tortures Everyone - Shion as a result of the events of the Cotton Drifting/Eye Opening arcs. Influenced by Never Live It Down.
 * Ika Musume
 * Tako-Musume - The mysterious Tanabe Kozue, who's only appeared once. She wears a conspicuous hat, understands Ika-Musume a little too well... and has Japanese initials that spell tako, meaning "octopus". Hmmmmmmm...
 * Inuyasha
 * Fluffy or Fluffy-sama - Sesshoumaru; sometimes lengthened to "Fluffy the Terrible", mostly thanks to the fluffy white fur that hangs over his shoulder and trails behind him (itself referred to in Japanese as "mokomoko-san"). Likewise, his recently-revealed unnamed mother has quickly gained the moniker "Fluffette". She is also known as Sessh-mom, for obvious reasons.
 * Super Shredder - Naraku in his final form, as he resembles the likewise final form of Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is considered nigh-invincible.
 * Inutaisho - Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father; a corruption or mishearing of "Inu no Taisho," which is the character's title and means "leader of the dogs."
 * Also, Inu-papa.
 * Occasionally, Inuyasha's father will be referred to as Touga, after a temporary name he received during production of the third movie. It was never made canon, but for some fans it's the closest he's ever come to getting a real name.
 * And KagoMama or HiguMama or Mama-san for Kagome's unfortuneately unnamed mother.
 * Sota, Kagome's younger brother, is also sometimes jokingly referred to as "Soda".
 * Kanokon
 * Shouta - Kouta, for being a helpless little shota who is constantly being jumped by the sexually-aggressive foxgirl, Chizuru.
 * But only in the anime.
 * Kanon
 * Kyonichi/Kyuuichi - Yuuichi, for having similar looks/personality and the same seiyuu as Kyon of The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. The shared VA is used for a Shout-Out gag in Kanon at one point, with Yuuichi suddenly narrating like Kyon out loud.
 * Lies. He did that in the original Visual Novel as well, which was made in the late 90's.
 * Boring Germans in Space - Legend of Galactic Heroes, due to one of the sides having noticeable Germanic influence and the fact that some anime fans find it painfully slow-paced.
 * Legend of Germanic Heroes after said Germanic influences.
 * Katekyo Hitman Reborn
 * Reporn-the series itself or the eponymous character.
 * Tuna-Tsuna. Apparently the cast is very fishy, since we also have Squalo(Italian for "Shark"), "Octupus Head"(Ryohei's Canon Nickname for Gokudera), and of course Yamamoto's sushi restaurant.
 * Vongola is Italian for "Clam"
 * Mukurou- A "u" is added to differentiate between the two.
 * Let's not forget the number/letter code. Usually used for shipping. Example: 5927. D18.
 * 27-Tsuna. Used in canon sometimes. "Tsu" means "2" in Japanese, and "nana" means "7"
 * 59-Gokudera. "Go" means "5" and "ku" is a pronounciation of "9"
 * 80-Yamamoto.
 * 18-Hibari.
 * D-Dino.
 * X-Xanxus.
 * 100-Byakuran.
 * 69-Mukuro.
 * 96-Chrome. For obvious reasons.
 * S-Squalo.
 * Don't go thinking that these are all of them. The Reborn Wiki has an extensive list if you get confused.
 * Pineapple-head for Mukuro and/or Chrome, because of their hairstyle. Also "nappo" (Japanese word for pineapple), and "Mini-nappo" for Chrome. Also in Fandom, Mukuro is "Perverted Pineapple" for obvious reasons concerning Tsuna and everybody else he's ever attacked. His assigned number does not help either.
 * Used by Flan... Mukuro does NOT like it.
 * The Fans started calling Hibari's bird "Hibird", which was brought to the manga itself. Even lampshaded by Tsuna.

Tsuna "Who would name it that?!""

"Sheryl Nome: "My chest isn't the same as yours, mine brings people hopes and dreams.""

 * Kirby of the Stars
 * Jecra - Knuckle Joe's father, who is currently unnamed. Popular to the point that many think that's his actual name.
 * Señor Noodlearms - Meta Knight, because of the Spanish accent the dub gave him and his oddly thin arms.
 * Bouncy Tiff - From an episode where a bunch of perverted otaku parodies made an anime with a rather... adult version of the character Tiff.

 * Macross Frontier
 * Alto-hime, Sakura-hime, Hime-sama - Alto Saotome, in reference to his roles as a Kabuki actor and the fact that he really does look like a princess.

 * Hopes and Dreams - Seriously, you need to keep abreast of Sheryl Nome's nicknames.


 * Despairs and Nightmares -
 * Machida - any nameless grunt who does something badass (retroactively appiled to every macross series before frontier), stems from episode 14 when a NUNS pilot referred to on the radio as Machida takes out two red vajra, showcasing the VF-171 in battroid form (the only time we see the standard 171 use a mode other than its plane form), its 7 barrel gunpod and pin-point barrier punch.
 * Creepy Leon - Leon Mishima.

 * The White Devil - Takamachi Nanoha herself; sweet, friendly, and very firm believer in vicious asskickings for the sake of love and justice. So named after a scene where an enemy calls her a devil, and she agrees that she is if that is what works. This is combined with her wearing all white, her proficiency at blowing things up that would make a Humongous Mecha proud, and the fact that the original Gundam was nicknamed the White Devil in Mobile Suit Gundam.
 * We also have the "White Devil Incident", where one of her students suffers from a Heroic BSOD and attacks her for real during training. Looking very disappointed, she catches said student's Energy Weapon, then blasts her into submission without even using her Device. People started using the nickname seriously after this.

 * Similarly, her Catch Phrase "Full power!" can be also interpreted to mean "Total destruction!"
 * Some fans have been known to refer to her as "Sailor Beamspam".
 * Cardiche, aka the Fatemobile - Fate Testarossa-Harlaown's black convertible in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, So named because its black coloration and yellow hubcaps gives it a more than passing resemblance to Fate's Intelligent Device Bardiche. Unusual, because Fate's powers already allow her to travel quickly and because it wasn't an actual Testarossa.
 * Ditto Hückebikes, the Cool Bikes that the members of the Hückebein family ride in Force.
 * "Befriending" - Yes, the trope of Defeat Means Friendship has been given a nickname, due to it being the primary way Nanoha makes her friends. Used in a sentence; "She befriended the crap out of them."

 * Etnagito - Agito, for her resemblance to Etna of Disgaea.

 * Deus Ex Maskina - The Wolkenritters' Mysterious Protector in A's.
 * Emoha - The movie manga version (which is a different continity from the movie itself) of Nanoha has this nickname. Due to her emo scream in the first chapter. The fifth chapter gives her a good reason to be emo.
 * Ginga Drill Break(er), for Ginga Nakajima, due to an attack she uses that's reminiscent of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
 * Heavyarms-tan - Arnage of Huckebein, due to.

 * Mahou Sensei Negima
 * KFC - Alberio Imma, who entered a tournament under the name of "Kuneru/Ku Nel (Colonel) Sanders."
 * Lieutenant - Setsuna, who often serves as Negi's Lancer.

 * The nickname for the dark Ash in the 13th movie, as of now, is Zash (or Zatoshi), a pun on the (running) title of the movie.
 * Ashachu/Satochu - Nickname for Ash as a Pikachu. Despite only appearing for less than the time of one episode, he has a huge fanbase.
 * Nugai - The name given to Shinji (Paul in the US dub) due to the fact that his name wasn't given when he was revealed to the fans. Pun on the term "New Guy."

 * Guitar Ninjas - The second season, coined by an Image Macro review comparing it to such.
 * Puella Magi Madoka Magica
 * Homerun-chan - Homura. It was coined in /a/, but quickly gained popularity in Japan as well.
 * Alternatively, "Homuhomu." This name may have reached Ascended Meme status - one of the items in the Special Edition of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable is literally called the "HomuHomu Handkerchief". Interestingly, the source of the nickname appears to come from the Cypher Language in Episode 3.

 * Unlimited Bazooka Works - Homura's More Dakka version.

 * Chidamari Sketch - the entire series.
 * Condom-chan - Kyouko, the long red-haired girl in the intro because of the... thing she has in her mouth. (Which seems to actually be one of those ice tube popsicle things).

 * - Madoka after.
 * Also.

 * Moemura/Megahomu - Homura

 * The Nerima Wrecking Crew - Ranma and the other martial artists in the main cast.
 * The fanfiction Spoiled Brats takes this to its logical conclusion by including a scene with a sign reading: "This residence has been proudly repaired by the Nerima Repair Crew. When they knock it down, we'll put it back up again."
 * Passion Spice - Catch-all term for the various magical/chemical gimmicks used in the course of the series to attempt to woo Ranma (or somebody else). Gets seriously abused in fandom. Comes from a Fanfic written in the 1990s (possibly by Caroline "Kunoichi" Seawright) but has since entered Ranma Fanon as a stock device.
 * MADMs or Martial Arts Death Machines - Explicitly, the high-powered martial artists in the series, due to the insane amount of damage they can dish out, insane amount of damage they can absorb without injury, astonishing speed (past the speed of sound in some cases), and, naturally, staggering combat skills. Differs from Nerima Wrecking Crew in that the latter can potentially include any character involved in the mayhem; MADMs tend to include only the more "serious" combatants. Of course, precisely "who" those characters are isn't agreed on, but a general consensus would be (of the main characters) the Old Masters and Miniature Senior Citizens Cologne and Happosai, Ranma Saotome, Ryôga Hibiki, and Mousse. They also might add either or both of Shampoo and Ukyô Kuonji to the selection, as both girls have pulled off feats that are even more impressive than Akane Tendô, though less impressive than those of the guys. Of the various temporary challengers, you have Herb, Mint and Lime of the Musk, as well as Ryû Kumon and, in the anime, Princes Kirin and Tôma.
 * Ranko - Any version of Female!Ranma that is separate from Male!Ranma, usually an Opposite Sex Clone. Named after the alias Ranma used when he was hiding himself from his mother.
 * Some fanfic writers even use "Ranko" simply for girl-type Ranma, instead of the more often seen "Ranma-chan" or "Onna-Ranma".
 * Revolutionary Girl Utena
 * The Cocktower - The tower that Akio lives and keeps his planetarium at; so named due to its overtly phallic appearance.
 * The End of Utena - The Movie, for being like another famous Mind Screw anime movie.
 * Gacktio - Akio in the movie, since he looks and acts more like a pop star than the Magnificent Bastard he was in the TV series.
 * The Utena Car and/or The Utena Mobile - Fairly self-explanatory, if you've seen The Movie.
 * Also, the Akio Car, with its white, easily cleanable leather seating....
 * Rosario to Vampire
 * Daddy Starbucks - The still unseen and unnamed father of Moka and her three sisters, for the Theme Naming he decided to give to his daughters.
 * Rinne no Lagrange
 * Space Kotetsu - Villagiulio
 * Rozen Maiden
 * Desu - Suiseiseki, so nicknamed by 4Chan for her habit of using the copula at the end of every sentence.
 * And Souseiseki is known as Boku.
 * Also, Boatlights.
 * Bananas - Kirakishou, both due in part to her batshit spooky nature and a fanart in which she was depicted cramming the fruit messily into her face.
 * Junk-chan - Suigintou, so nicknamed for her insistence on telling the other Maidens that "[she is] NOT JUNK" despite her freakish-looking wings.
 * Rurouni Kenshin
 * Butt-bow - the Giant Waist Ribbon that Aoshi and Misao wear.
 * Ruro-Ken - Fan shorthand for the series title.
 * Kenshin-gumi - The regulars at the Kamiya Kasshin dojo (after The Shinsengumi, the elite feudal police squad of which rival swordsman Hajime Saitou was part before the establishment of the Meiji government)--Yahiko even makes a mention of this nickname early on in the series.
 * Super Horse - the horse from the Filler episode where he makes a series of spectacular Horse Jumps that would make a motorcycle jealous.
 * Super Tuberculosis - the mysterious disease that causes  to have the Incurable Cough of Death, complete with Blood From the Mouth. (Epileptic Trees say its syphillis, for extra hilarity.)
 * Yoda the Manslayer - Kenshin, because of how he talks in the dub.
 * Sailor Moon
 * The Four Generals - The "Four Heavenly Kings", the original Quirky Miniboss Squad. Arose from a mistranslation from the early days of the internet, and is incredibly persistent to this day, despite the fact that the correct translation is more common now. There are many fan names like this.
 * The Pink Spore (a.k.a. Chibi-Useless, Yam-Head) - Chibi-Usa/Rini. Actually used in the dub, later co-opted as a genuine insult by detractors.
 * Sailor Hot Topic - Kuroki Mio from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, for her over-the-top Perky Goth attire in the OVA.
 * "Inner Senshi" and "Outer Senshi" - Fandom terms to describe the major cast division via analogy with the planets. The series never specifically uses the terms, especially because Jupiter is included in the former so they can have a Five-Man Band. Much debate can be had from these terms, especially because the series does in fact give names to two of the groups, and the latter group of four is actually called the "Senshi of the Outer Solar System".
 * Outer Senshi makes sense as it's simpler to Say Outer Senshi then "Outer Solar System Senshi". The Musicals give the inners the title of "Innner Solar System Warriors" but their offiical title outside that is "Four Soldiers of the Guardian Gods", hence the use of "Guardian Senshi" by some fans.
 * Asteroid Senshi/Asteroid Quartet/Amazon Senshi: Another name resulting from a fan mistranslation of the Sailor Quartet, who the Amazoness Quartet eventually become in the manga. Since they're only seen and called by name once, many fans had no idea they had a name and coined "Asteroid Senshi" because the four girls are named after prominent asteroids in the solar system.
 * Silver Imperium Plot Device: The Ginzuishou/Silver Imperium Crystal, due to its Deus Ex Machina abilities.
 * Official Energy Source of the Negaverse: Naru Osaka/Molly Baker, who seems to be attacked by the bad guys an awful lot.
 * AKA Youma Bait #1. Youma Bait is the derogatory nickname for the youma victims, and Naru is regarded as being the one who attracts them the most.
 * Sailor Not-A-Planet-Anymore: Sailor Pluto, due to a fall in the planetary rank.
 * Sailor X: Sailor Pluto, to those who still want to accept her as a Sol Senshi after Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet.
 * Also applies to Sailor Chi from the manga. X is the greek symbol for Chi.
 * Saiunkoku Monogatari
 * Drunken Master - Eigetsu, for spoileriffic reasons.
 * Vegetable-flute-guy - Lan Ryuuren, after his trade late-series trademark flute. Made of radish.
 * Chunky - Shunki.
 * Saiyuki
 * The Kougaiji-ikkou and the Konzen-ikkou - Names for two of the three primary foursomes, by reference to the canonical Sanzo-ikkou ("Sanzo's travel partners").
 * Pippi - So named because of the way her braids stick out. The bossy youkai girl Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai live with (and are kinda employed by) after her village's Bedouin Rescue Service saves them. She and Goku seemed to have a thing, so certain fans desperately hope the fact that she has No Name Given means she isn't important. Barring that, there are epileptic saplings that Goku only liked her because her attitude reminded him of Sanzo, or the way a few wisps of her hair fall in her face subconsciously reminded him of his platonic Forgotten Childhood Friend, Nataku, because Het Is Ew.
 * Saki
 * Kyaputen - Mihoko. Though, to be fair, all of Kazekoshi's mahjong team call her that.
 * Nodotits - Nodoka, because... yeah.
 * Tacololi, Taco-tan, or simply Tacos - Yuki, because she really likes tacos.
 * Wahaha - Satomi.
 * WAI WAI - The first ending of the series because, well, just listen to it!
 * Sakura Taisen
 * Parigumi - The members of the Paris-based branch of the Teikokukagekidan Hanagumi found in the third and fourth OVA series. This is more likely a back-formation based on "Hanagumi" than a direct application of this trope.
 * Samurai Champloo
 * Majin Fuu- a pun on a fat Dragon Ball character (Majin Buu)- it references the times where Fuu eats so much that she swells up like a balloon.
 * S-Cry-ed
 * Pansy Man - Used to refer to Tachibana, whose Alter, while potentially very versatile and awesome, is terribly downgraded because he only ever fights with it with or next to the two major badasses of the show.
 * Shattered Sword of Balls - Tachibana's, mentioned above, Alter, called "Eternity Eight." One of the things he likes to do with it in combat is form the eight little balls into a sword-like weapon. Unfortunately, when fighting the protagonist, this sword gets punched through and shattered very often. This leads to the, at least in the subbed version, line, "You broke my balls!!!" It gets even worse when this leads him to go on a pity trip about how his girlfriend won't like him anymore.
 * Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei
 * Abuse-tan = Abiru Kobushi. The name is a play on her name as well as the fact that she is allegedly a victim of domestic abuse as she is always covered in bandages.
 * Anony-tan = Meru Otonashi. She is called that because she likes to text abusive messages much like Anonymous (4chan) is known to do.
 * Despair-sensei = Nozomu Itoshiki. This guy is super negative and always seem to find some sort of strange excuse to want to make himself taller.
 * Evil-tan = Mayo Mitama. This is because not only does she look evil, she does evil things (like blowing up houses and stabbing puppies) and gets away with it.
 * Hikkikomori-tan = Kiri Komori. Because she is a Hikkikomori (social recluse) after all.
 * Ji-tan = Matoi Tsunetsuki, the resident stalker. The Ji is a Japanese onomatopoeia sound for staring, which Matoi does a lot (at Nozomu).
 * "Making Yourself Taller" = Fan term for Suicide by Hanging, which was derived from Fuura's tendency to put a positive spin on Nozomu Itoshiki's attempts at suicide.
 * Opti-Miss = Kafuka Fuura. She has this disturbing ability to come up with positive explanations for anything that should have a negative connotation to it.
 * Perfect-tan = Kitsu Chiri. She demands that everything must be done properly and has an obsession with having everything equal.
 * Schizo-tan = Kaere Kimura due to her split personalities.
 * Slash-tan = Harumi Fujiyoshi because she is the show's resident yaoi fangirl.
 * Stick-dog = The term for the at least Once Per Episode appearance of a dog with a stick poking out of its butt. This phenomenon is caused by Evil-tan.
 * Waifu-tan = Manami Okusa. This is because she is married to an older man despite being only a highschool student.
 * When you consider that the actual names of the characters (with the exception of Kafuka's name) are all thematic (in Japanese, that is) to the characters' personalities, such fan nicknaming could even be considered redundant.
 * "Falcon kick" - Maria's signature move
 * "Super Chiri" - Used to describe an incident from an episode of Zoku wherein Chiri became very tall and fought off an alien invasion.
 * School Days
 * Nice Boat - Name for series itself. Just before the planned airing, a RL murder occurred in Japan and it was decided that the murder in the last episode hit a bit too close to home thus it was replaced by a place-holder program titled "Nice Boat". Perhaps by coincidence, the final scene shows Kotonoha on her private boat,.

 * Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo
 * Leloupard - Leopard (voiced by Jun "Lelouch" Fukuyama)
 * Soaring Cake Girl - The series proper.
 * Soukou no Strain
 * Dead-tan - Sara, thanks to a certain scene in episode 3 where she has to wear a sign around her neck that reads "DEAD".
 * Loli - Lottie Gelh, due to her flat chest and the sound of her name.
 * Rozen Mecha - the show, in reference to Rozen Maiden.
 * Soul Eater
 * Waffles -- Gopher. Somebody on one of the communities mentioned the multilingual pun, and now...there's 4koma where Gopher is played by a waffle. (Does this make any pairing involving Waffles a Cargo Ship?)
 * Sousei no Aquarion
 * Getter Ripoff - The eponymous Humongous Mecha, due to having the exact same transformation/combination scheme as Getter Robo.
 * Spice and Wolf
 * Korbo - Holo, due to a scene in the anime where we see her name on paper in such sloppy handwriting that it can be read as "Korbo". As if her name wasn't already confusing enough...
 * Moenomics - The series as a whole. I mean, look at it! It's got a Fox-girl and there's a whole bunch of stuff about economics. Makes perfect sense, to this troper.
 * Studio Shaft
 * Shaft Tilt - Curious head tilt/neck twist/AsideGlance combo that would result in Real Life humans breaking their necks; common in Studio Shaft Anime.
 * Shaft, used as a verb: Various Off-Model and Placeholder Titles from this studio due to schedule issues, which are usually corrected on DVD releases.

 * "Stopan" - short for "Sutoraiku Pantsu", not to be confused with "Stopani"
 * Super Dimension Fortress Macross
 * "Hory Froating Head-sama", for series head honcho Shoji Kawamori no less. This one originated on the Macross World message boards, thanks to a gag picture sent from AnimEigo celebrating the completion of the remastering of Macross -- it was of a couple of AnimEigo staffers holding up one of the DVDs as an oversized head of Kawamori looked on, wreathed in a halo.
 * Suzumiya Haruhi
 * LOL-fang-tan - Tsuruya-san, by combination of the nicknames "LOL-tan" and "Fang-tan", inspired by her two most prominent attributes.

 * Superhero Saturday - Saturday, the day the show aired during its original run.

 * "Book Travels" ("hon no tabibito") and "Hat travels" to shorten out the title
 * Chichi Kitsune or just Chichi for Tamamonomae: she's a buxom fox spirit who speaks with a Kansai dialect. ("Chichi" is Kansai way of saying "chest" or "breasts", and is even called upon by another Kansai-speaking character, Ken-chan, in the anime)
 * Yotsubato!
 * 404 Girl - Yotsuba, from her appearance in 4chan's 404 Not Found page.
 * Although people who refer to her as such on 4chan are usually branded as noobs/idiots.
 * Dotty - Yotsuba's occasional unnamed playmate with dot eyes
 * Yu-Gi-Oh!
 * Season 0 or The Shadow Games - Name often given to the Toei anime version, which is called simply Yu-Gi-Oh!. (The anime most Americans know as Yu-Gi-Oh! is called Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan.)
 * Minigoth - Yuugi Motou
 * Yami - Yugi's "other self", the Egyptian Pharaoh. Oddly enough, the English dub also uses this term and "Big Yugi" for the implied distinction, although canonically, it probably shouldn't be used.
 * This likewise is applied to other characters with dark sides (Yami Bakura, Yami Malik), to the point where it's common Fanon. In addition, the conventional Fanon shorthand is that Yami Bakura is "Bakura," Normal Bakura is "Ryou" (which is his given name) Yami Marik is "Marik," and Normal Marik is "Malik." This is so pervasive in Ficdom that some people don't even realize how weird it is to have Ryou address his yami by his own family name, or for his father to accept it as a given name for said yami.
 * On top of those, we've got 'Kura, Akefia, Tzroku, Mariku, etc etc etc... It seems everyone has their own personal favorite.
 * Furthermore, many fan circles will refer to the omote/surface personalities as "Hikari", which means light and contrasts to the "Yami" term.
 * For those who like to give their favorite characters actual names, we have Florence and Melvin.
 * Cabbage - Toei version of Seto Kaiba. Just look at his green hair and you'll know why.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
 * Ass-ter Phoenix: Nickname for Edo by people dissatisfied with his being renamed for the dub.
 * Owlhead: Yuuki Juudai/Jaden, for obvious reasons.
 * Jellyfish, also for his hair. Add Yuusei as Crabhead and Yuugi as Starfish and the invertebrate trio is complete.
 * Fianceshipping - The pairing of Judai/Jaden and Asuka/Alexis, named after a Japanese episode in which if Judai won a duel against a tennis player, he'd become Asuka's fiance. He, of course, won but is too airheaded to know what a fiance means. There are also innumerable other names for pairings like this in the fandom.
 * Principal Awesomebrows - The GX manga's Principal Mackenzie, due to his rather prominent eyebrows.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
 * JACK ATLAS - When Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds was first announced and well into its airing schedule, for unknown reasons the fandom spelled his name in all capital letters. That fad has mostly died out now, though.
 * The trend has resurfaced, along with the new nickname ATLAS PUNCH, thanks to his recent tendency to go around and punch someone's lights out Once Per Episode.
 * D-Carly - Name used referring to Carly Nagisa while she's.
 * Crabhead: Yusei. There's about a bazillion fanarts for it.
 * Yousay: A phonetic English spelling of Yusei's name. Occasionaly expanded to Whodo Yousay. Lampshaded in the third season when an insert song is called Yousay.
 * Dr. Fudo has a lot of these since his on-screen debut:
 * Daddy Fudo
 * Papa Fudo
 * Fudo-papa
 * Crabhead Sr.
 * Emo Crabhead
 * Plot Device Dragon (PDD): Crimson Dragon, because it literally is a plot device.
 * Rexposition: Named for Rex Godwin's expositions about the plot.
 * Rainbow Road: For the special kinds of roads dueled on in episode 26 and 64. A name taken from the Mario Cart series's track.
 * Little Penis: An alternate legitimate translation for Aslla Piscu, even though the intended translation was Little Crow.
 * Oxymoron Dragon: Savior Red Demon's Dragon, because its an oxymoron in itself.
 * Haranimation: For the animation done by Kennichi O'Hara.
 * Mini-D: Nickname for Sly prior to his official debut due to his resemblance to Divine.
 * Dark Glass: The blue-haired, left-handed D-Wheeler who teaches Yusei Accel Synchro. An in series nickname Also called Racer X.
 * Robot Shrimp/Robofetus: For the robot thing seen in episode 93 and the fourth opening.
 * Jack's Wheel of Fortune is starting to be called the Wheel of Misfortune because he crashes or falls off his bike far more then any other duelist in the series. People now have running bets on how long it will take him to injure himself again.
 * Yuusei is now called "Hobosei" because of his outfit in Episode 116.
 * The show itself is
 * Sentou Yousei Yukikaze: Brokeback Air Force, due to the pretty intense Ho Yay between the two main characters.
 * Zoids
 * Many of the Zoids themselves are referred to with shortened or cutsie-fied versions of their official names - Gilvader = Gilvy, Gojulas Giga = Giggles, and so on. Gildragon - a white/blue/gold recolor of the black/pink/purple Gilvader - is referred to as Gildy, or as Mrs. Gilvader due to its "prettier" color scheme.
 * Besides the obvious "Gungy", the Gungyalado is also known as "Trogdor" after the Homestar Runner chracter that it resembles.
 * Whitz Tiger Imitate, a recolor of the Whitz Tiger molded in a cheddary orange, is nicknamed Cheese Whitz after the Kraft imitation food product.
 * On a related note, the sword-armed Savinga included with the Rez Tiger earned the nickname "Sporkvinga"
 * While Western release names are often used, the Merda is almost invariably referred to by its UK-release name, "Hellrunner", even in reference to Japanese versions. This could be because nobody can actually agree on the proper transliteration of its name (Merda/Merder/Mardar/Muda/etc.) and might also confuse it with the similarily-named Malder. (Or because it's uncomfortably close to the word for "shit" in several Romance languages.) The English-language version of Zoids Saga 2 actually used that name... though that translation was full of other bizarre moments.
 * The Holotech series (a line of kits cast in translucent plastic) had its own nicknaming convention: the Holotech versions of Zaber Fang, Raynos and Spinosapper became Holokitty, Holobirdy and Holosapper respectively. The Holotech version of Warshark, whose Japanese name is Wardick, is called Holodick (a play on Star Trek's Holodeck) or Holothingy.
 * The Murasame Liger earned the nickname "Lump Liger" amongst the model-building sections of the community due to the fact that the model came mostly pre-built -- ie, a Lump. The Hayate Liger (based on the same frame) was nicknamed "Brick Liger" becuse of its bright red colour - and the fact that the toy ended up looking like a brick.
 * The Gairyuki ended up as "Gary". The later Gairyuki Shin was often referred to as "Gary Shin", while its new Raiden support unit was called... Spork.
 * Due to a ridiculous number of customized Zoids based on the Geno Saurer and Geno Breaker appearing in the GBA game Zoids Saga -- as well as in fanfiction and online RPGs -- all of which share the "Geno" prefix, any such custom is referred to (in some circles, anyway) as a Genothingy.
 * The last four episodes of the first anime series, Chaotic Century, were known among fans as the Final Four (presumably after a sports term). During its initial run on Cartoon Network, the series abruptly cut off just before the airing of these episodes and started over from the beginning; when this second run reached the cut-off point of the first run, the network aired the last episodes in a two-hour block, explicitly referring to them as the Final Four.
 * Zoids New Century Zero:
 * The Berserk Fury's trademark spinning claw weapons are often called "eggbeaters". Its name is also often shortened to "BF".
 * In-series, the Zaber Fangs, formerly known as the Tigers Team, are referred to as the "Fuzzy Pandas", as Bit doesn't think they're worth the threatening name. This is directly responsible for their last loss in the series.
 * Go Nagai has often been referred to in certain circles as "Uncle Go". The same goes for Ken Ishikawa, but less often.
 * Anyone named Keiichi, such as the protagonists from Ah! My Goddess and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, will often be referred in the show and by some fans as K1, which would still be pronounced as Keiichi in Japanese.
 * The Keiichi in Ah! My Goddess did, at least once, wear a jacket with "K1" monogrammed on it.
 * "Sentai Filmworks/Section 23 Films" was the result of ADV Films divesting its assets. Because of this, the new entity is often called "Neo-ADV", or sometimes "Zombie-ADV".
