** {{spoiler|1=The Bloody Habanero/Red Hot-blooded Habanero and The Orange Hokage for Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki, respectively.}}
* In the ''[[One Piece]]'' universe, it seems like everyone with a high bounty acquires such an epithet. Luffy's is "Straw Hat", while his crew mates each get one: "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, "Cat Burglar" Nami, "Devil Child" Nico Robin, "King of the Snipers" Sogeking, "Black Leg" Sanji, "Cyborg" Franky, and "Dead Bones" Brook. (Poor Chopper gets stuck with "The Cotton Candy Lover.") Then you get "Fire Fist" Ace, "Supersonic" Van Auger, "Grim Reaper" Doc Q, and the list goes on. Worth noting, often a character's given name is still widely known and comes after the nickname (as you might have realized by looking at the list), so truly straight examples of the trope a probably rather rare in ''[[One Piece]]''.
** Edward Newgate, better known as "Whitebeard", is [[Badass Grandpa|easily]] the most powerful pirate on the Grand Line. His name is so infamous that his declaring ownership of an island will keep it out of harm's way, something even an alliance with the World Government can't guarantee. {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|Or at least he was.]]}}
** Brook is actually the only one who has referred to himself as "Dead as Bones"; because he was still alive when his bounty was issued, his poster bears the name "Humming Brook". A little less ominous, but we'll see how long that sticks given his new appearance.
