*** Rinkane Jail. It may be based on "reincarnation", or the word "rinkan" which means "grand, splendid building". It is hopefully ''NOT'' based on the other, differently spelled "rinkan" which means "gangrape", or the [[http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Gurren%20Lagann/Gurren<!-- 20Lagann20-%2020%20-%20Large%2005.jpg cockblock jokes will never end]]. -->

* ''[[Tsukihime (Visual Novel)|Tsukihime]]'''s badass Tohno Shiki becomes the [[Future Badass]] Satsujinki, whose [[Evil Eye|mystic eyes]] have gone out of control, forcing him to cover them with bandages, and past physical limitations surpassed. Satsujinki means something around "bloodthirsty murderer" (quite ironic considering his personality, but somehow fitting) except it has part of his name replacing the kanji, making it roughly equivalent to "Shikiller." Fans prefer "Satsujinki."

* ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'': Chika's name is said in the manga to mean "a thousand good things" or "honorable mention" or even "the sound a light switch makes", but another couple of more fitting meanings is "wisdom" or "intelligence". She's certainly one of the more studious and sensible of the group, and less likely to fall for Miu's claims than, say, Matsuri. Speaking of Miu, the manga says her name means "beautiful wings", but another meaning is "beautiful feather"... which is interesting considering that the example she gives of something that makes her happy is "making Chika collapse from laughter."
