Line 11:
If a title appears to be using this trope but the title is not the name of a character (e.g. ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''), see [[I Am Not Shazam]].

Line 51:
* ''[[Mahoutsukai Sally]]'': Sally, the Witch.
* ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' -- but not ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' or ''Mai-HiME Destiny'', for that matter.
** Although the play-on-words gets pretty amusing here: Mai = [[Fiery Redhead|Mai Tokiha]], the main character of [[Mai Hi ME]] (but not [[Mai Otome]] or Destiny), but it also means "dance" (in [[Mai Otome]], the battles are "butou" which can mean "dance", but is written with the kanji for "dance" and "battle", also pronounced "butou"). Hime = Princess, which Mai [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!|kinda acts like]] at first, but it's also [[Weapon of Choice|HiME]] ('''Hi'''ghly advanced '''M'''aterializing '''E'''quipment). Otome = Maiden, which all of the girls in [[Mai Otome]] are (otherwise they [[Virgin Power|lose their abilities]]), but it is also "Otome", which are their [[Fantastic Nuke|titles]]. So, in a way [[Mai Otome]] can also fit this, as the main characters really are "dancing" (as in dance-battles) "Otome" (their title). Of course, "mai" sounds a lot like the [[Gratuitous English|English possessive "my"]] as well, only adding to the [[Hurricane of Puns|carnival]].
