* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'':
** The main characters of all the games can be collectively referred to as "the dangans".
** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''
*** Noodle Fairy - Mostly Japanese nickname for Kirigiri for a scene where TheStoic girl has a cup of noodles dumped on her head and she doesn't notice until it is pointed out. [[spoiler: In fanart that shows characters "SuperPoweredEvilSide" this is usually [[PokeThePoodle hers]].]]
*** The people at Website/SomethingAwful like to call Hifumi [[SelfDeprecation goon, supergoon, ultragoon, and so-forth.]]
*** "Baseball Bro" for Leon Kuwata. In general, [Title] boy/girl (such as "Heir Boy" for Byakuya, "Swimmer Girl" for Aoi) is often used to refer to the characters, as some fans find the character's titles easier to remember than their names.
*** "Swimboobs" for Aoi. A combo of her title, and the fact that her boobs are rather... big.
*** "Weedman" for Yasuhiro, due to his "stash" line, his not-quite-locs hairstyle, and [[GRatedStoner his general demeanor]].
*** What with the official translation referring to him by his original Japanese name, "Monobear" is this for Monokuma.
*** The game itself has [[http://popular-post-reference.tumblr.com/post/46466310544/vriska-i-feel-bad-for-anyone-who-doesnt-like an avalanche]] of [[http://scotchtapeofficial.tumblr.com/post/49220536923/octoshrimp-you-dont-like-dr-well-just silly nicknames]], caused by the strangeness of its own name. It was a popular meme on Tumblr for a time, but has since died down.
*** Due to his actions in Chapter 2, Byakuya is sometimes dubbed "Super High School Level [[spoiler:Corpse Mover]]." [[spoiler:When the next chapter's victims disappeared from the crime scenes, he was promptly named as a top suspect.]]
*** "Chihirobo" for Alter Ego.
*** The Masked Man has gained the nickname Monoluchador.
*** For a while, Mukuro Ikusaba was referred to as Corpse Warblade more often than by her actual name. [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast It's not hard to see why.]]
*** Mukuro also has the nickname [[spoiler:"Junkuro" for when she's dressing as Junko.]]
*** Chapter 6's reveal of [[spoiler:the world outside the school]]. The fans promptly called it [[spoiler:Monoworld]].
** ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair''
*** Byakuya as he appears in this game is known by fans as "Fat Togami" or "Fatgami", due to how...[[FatBastard different]] he looks from when we last saw him. "Twogami" and "2gami" are also popular, [[spoiler:given how he's someone completely different from the actual Byakuya]]. In this vein "[[spoiler:Fauxgami]]" is also a common name English speakers use when spoilers aren't considered an issue. In Japan, "Tongami" is a very popular nickname for him.
*** Due to his status as a WalkingSpoiler, Izuru Kamukura is affectionately referred to as "Spoiler-kun".
*** Nagito, thanks to his obsession with the concept of hope, is known as "Hopeman".
** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony''
*** The first trial quickly popularized [[spoiler:"Kaedead"]] as one for Kaede Akamatsu, [[spoiler:who turned out to be a DecoyProtagonist and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally killed as the first culprit]].]] She's also sometimes called "Kayayday" because of how the other characters, mostly Kokichi, [[PretentiousPronunciation pronounce her name]] in the English dub.
*** On Website/FourChan, [[spoiler:Korekiyo]] is sometimes called "Tulpaman", due to [[spoiler:him having a split personality based on his dead sister]].

** While officially referred to as "episodes", the individual chapters of each game are almost invariably referred to as "cases" by fans. Additionally, it is very common for episodes to be referred to in a shorthand format indicating the game and case number. For example, "The Stolen Turnabout", the second episode of the third main series game, is often referred to as "case 3-2", or just "3-2".

The shared VA is used for a ShoutOut gag in ''Kanon'' at one point, with Yuuichi suddenly narrating like Kyon out loud.

** Super Objection - The '''''Objection!''''' at the very end of ''Trials and Tribulations'', when [[spoiler:Mia's ghost appears next to Phoenix when he calls Godot out]].
** "Toasterface" for Godot, because of his visor's slight resemblance to one.
** ''Key Lady'' was in use for Kay Faraday, before her English name was revealed. Also, Jacques Portsman was often called "''Dennis''" because it sounds similar to "Tennis", in order to go with the series' {{Punny Name}}s.
** [[MemeticBadass Detective Tyrell Badd]] has been affectionately nicknamed Detective [[IncrediblyLamePun Baddass]], 'cause, you know... He's badass.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''
** K1 or K - Keiichi Maebara. A legitimate translation of his name ("Kei" being the pronounciation for K, and "ichi" translating to "one".) The latter is used in-series as an alternate persona.
** Cleaver Girl - Rena Ryuugu, for her iconic WeaponOfChoice.
** Droopy, Nurse Droopy, or Droopy-tan - Takano, for her perpetually stoned (and droopy!) appearance.
** Mr. Delicious - Kuraudo Ooishi, because of his name's closeness to ''oishii'', which means "delicious". His appearance and drawl don't hurt, either.
** Shmion - The collective name for the Sonozaki identical twins, Mion and Shion, due to being CreepyTwins with a tendency to TwinSwitch, including [[spoiler:an unintended ''permanent'' switch when they were younger. So Shion is really ''Mion'', and when she's pretending to be Mion, she's actually acting like Shion! At one point even ''Shmion'' gets confused about who she is, although she was under a lot of stress at the time, what with all the killing.]]

* ''VisualNovel/{{Morenatsu}}''

** [[spoiler: Option B]] - Shin's [[BadEnding worst]] [[DownerEnding ending]], [[spoiler: which involves Hiroyuki raping Shin, and is named for the choices that crop up late in the route that can trigger it.]] Thankfully, it's easily avoidable.
** Orange - Soutarou, due to , well.. his orange fur.
** Sotato - Soutarou again, after a bizarre [[RougeAnglesOfSatin misspelling]] in the translation patch during his and Kyouji's [[BeachEpisode beach scene.]]
* ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''
** Nice Boat - Name for series itself. Just before the planned airing, a RL murder occurred in Japan and it was decided that the murder in the last episode hit a bit too close to home thus it was replaced by a place-holder program titled "Nice Boat". Perhaps by coincidence, the final scene shows Kotonoha on her private boat, [[spoiler:cradling Makoto's severed head]].
* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''
** "The Gland", "The Tohno Gland": fan-explanation for Shiki's ability to attract [[ChickMagnet any female, any species.]] It's pheremones.
** Miss Blue (or [[TheRedBaron THE Blue]]), Magic Gunner: Aoko, whose first name means "Blue Child" in Japanese. Naturally, her hair is ''red''.
*** Possibly as an extension of the fact that [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai her sister]] is canonically nicknamed "Red", or "Dirty Red"....[[BerserkButton only not to her face]].
*** Actually, Aoko's natural hair color is Brown. Ironically enough, Touko's (The above-mentioned sister) original hair color is ''Blue''... which she also dyed Red. (Seems that ItRunsInTheFamily.) And her name means "Bitter Orange Child." [[DysfunctionalFamily Feel free to get confused.]]
** Sensei: Shiki Tohno's nickname for Aoko.
** Brainwasher Detective: Hisui, from one of the Bad Endings in Kagetsu Tohya, Tsukihime's "sequel." Her line, "Anata '''wa''' hannin desu!" ("You are the criminal!") was misprinted in the game as "Anata '''wo''' hannin desu!" ("You, become the criminal!") and the developers liked it so much, "Brainwasher Detective Hisui-chan" was born.
** Red Lion, [[spoiler: Crimson Red Vermillion: Kouma Kishima]] in Kagetsu Tohya.
** Satsujinki: Nickname for Shiki Tohno, whose Mystic Eyes of Death Perception [[spoiler: might become so powerful that he's forced to keep himself blinded once his glasses won't work, in the part joke, possibly-canon "Tsukihime 2: The Dark Six."]]
** Broomstick Girl Magical Amber, Mister Chin, Aproned Devil, Thieving Cat: All four of these are for Kohaku. There's also a fifth nickname occasionally given to her: [[spoiler: Nanaya... but only after she loses her memory after nearly killing herself in her path in Tsukihime.]]
** The Serpent of Akasha: [[spoiler: Michael Roa Valdamjong.]]
** Capslock-kun: [[spoiler: SHIKI. The * REAL* SHIKI, not the fake one who took over his name and identity... AKA Shiki Nanaya.]]
** Sacchin, [[spoiler: Badluck Vampire]]: Yumizuka Satsuki. The latter nickname only applies to her [[spoiler: after she becomes a vampire]] during the Far-Side paths of the game. Bonus: When that happens, she gains [[spoiler: CuteLittleFangs]].
** The Russian fandom also gives you "Vugluskr" for Nrvnsqr. [[DontExplainTheJoke "Vugluskr" is a word from a particular obscene Russian joke about bestiality]].
** Arcade Bumstead/Atari Dumbledore: Arcueid Brunestud.
