Loud Last Name

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Like the First Name Ultimatum and Full Name Ultimatum, it is used when a character is angry at another character, but is either not on a First-Name Basis with them or simply never uses their first name.

If the characters are on First-Name Basis, this means the one being shouted at is in big trouble, but sometimes it's just Played for Laughs.

Formerly known as 'Last Name Ultimatum'

Examples of Loud Last Name include:


Anime & Manga

  • In Slam Dunk, whenever any player gets mad at another character, namely -
  • In K-On!, when Azusa can't stop laughing at Ritsu being cast as Juliet in a school play, Ritsu exclaims an annoyed "Nakano!", while putting her in a chokehold. The girls are all on First-Name Basis with each other, and this rare instance of last name only use is Played for Laughs.
