Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Chiemi Serizawa, the heroine from ''VisualNovel/RagingLoop'' due to her immature nature. The protagonist Haruaki takes it UpToEleven sometimes by mixing First and Third person ''in the same sentence''.

* Angie in ''VisualNovel/ShikkokuNoSharnoth'', which is kind of odd considering it takes place in UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain. Ah well.
* Chigara from ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'' is an inconsistent example. Sometimes she’ll talk normally, and at other times she’ll refer to herself in the third person. It’s more prevalent in the second game than in the first, and it seems to be a reflection of the intimacy between her and her LoveInterest Kayto Shields (as she sometimes calls herself “your Chigara” when speaking to him).

* Rizu in ''VisualNovel/AProfile''. At one point Masayuki is worried for her when she uses the more standard "[[{{UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns}} atashi]]" to refer to herself.
* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo's'' Misha plays with this trope a lot. She sometimes uses what sounds like third person speech, but it's because she's voicing Shizune's signs. She also inverts the trope by speaking in first person for a third person. Lastly, she's not above lampshading it either, which is justified when it's to make clear who's actually speaking.
