** [[X Men|The X-mansion, Wammy’s School For Gifted Youngsters]] – Wammy's House

Line 130:

** Captain Shikinami - Asuka from ''Rebuild/ Evangelion 2.0'', reflecting her new surname and military rank. Mainly used by [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|those who view her as her own]] [[Replacement Scrappy]].

*** This gets pretty humorous when {{spoiler|she appears in the preview for ''Rebuild 3.0'' with an eye patch. Not one of bandages or anything, but an actual, pirate-style black patch.}}

** ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah, My]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Elder Goddess]]'', and variations.

* ''[[Onani Master Kurosawa]]''

** [[Death Note (Manga)|''Fap Note'']] for the manga itself, as some initial scenes and mannerisms of Kurosawa make it seem like a parody of ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' with fapping.

Line 373:

*** And since they are both [[Determinator|Determinators]], that would technically make them the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Tenacious D's]].

** Fisting - Akainu's main method of attack, which is to, ahem, [[Freud Was Right|penetrate]] people with a lava-coated fist.

** ''[[FUNimation|FUN]] Piece'' - The FUNimation dub, because it brought back the fun of the original series after [[Four Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] [[Macekre|tore it to shreds]].

** Luffyko/Luffiko - [[Gender Bender|Gender-bent]] Luffy, courtesy of an April Fool's Day fake spoiler that sent the [[Internet Backdraft|online One Piece community spinning]].

Line 381:

*** Mansopp - Post time-skip Usopp after losing all the weight and gaining muscle.

*** I believe you mean MANSOPP!

** [[Spell My Name With an S|Zolo]] - Commonly used when discussing things that Zoro did in the 4kids dub as a way of distinguishing him from the original Zoro. For example, "Zolo eats a cookie in the scene where Zoro eats a rice ball".

** [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Zolo]] - Commonly used when discussing things that Zoro did in the 4kids dub as a way of distinguishing him from the original Zoro. For example, "Zolo eats a cookie in the scene where Zoro eats a rice ball".

** [[A Father to His Men|Papabeard]] - Whitebeard because, well, [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|you know...]]

*** {{spoiler|Halfbeard}} - Whitebeard after {{spoiler|Akainu burns half of his face off}}.

Line 418:

** Green-haired [[K-On|Mugi]] or just "Green Mugi" - Hitomi.

*** With the English dub out, this becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], as Mugi and Hitomi are both voiced by Shelby Lindley.

** QB, [[Off Model|Coobie]] - Kyubey.

** QB, [[Off-Model|Coobie]] - Kyubey.

** [[Hidamari Sketch|Chidamari Sketch]] - the entire series. <ref>Chidamari means "puddle of blood." This was originally from ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' when a character jokingly made up as one of the nicknames of the eponymous rental apartment building. This was promptly applied to this series, due to its content and the fact that character designs for this work was made by ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'''s mangaka [[Ume Aoki]].</ref>

** 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 [http://www.pinukim.net/pics/image2_icepops.jpg ice tube popsicle things]).

Line 469:

** 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 Herd|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.

Line 526:

*** Minato himself is [[Death Note (Manga)|L]].

* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''

** Hecate, a female Tomogara, is often called "Orgasm Girl" on Youtube, thanks to a scene of her and [[MacGuffin Girl|Yuuji]]... synchronizing. It sure looked (and sounded) like [[Does This Remind You of Anything|something entirely different...]].

** Darth {{spoiler|Yuji}} for {{spoiler|Yuji}} as [[Big Bad|Snake of the Festival]].

* ''[[Shiki]]''

Line 550:

** 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". [[Spell My Name With an S|As if her name wasn't already confusing enough...]]

** 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". [[Spell My Name With an "S"|As if her name wasn't already confusing enough...]]

** Moenomics - The series as a whole. I mean, look at it! It's got a [[Fetish Fuel|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 [http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/headtilt.jpg 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 [[Better On DVD|corrected on DVD releases]].

** Shaft, used as a verb: Various [[Off-Model]] and [[Placeholder Titles]] from this studio due to schedule issues, which are usually [[Better On DVD|corrected on DVD releases]].

* ''[[Strawberry Panic (Light Novel)|Strawberry Panic]]!''

** StoPani: Short for the title, which is in [[Gratuitous English]]. The O comes from the Japanese pronunciation "sutoroberii panikku".

Line 696:

*** 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 [[Spell My Name With an S|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 [[Blind Idiot Translation|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.

Line 706:

*** 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 (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' and ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|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.

* Anyone named Keiichi, such as the protagonists from ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' and ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|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".
