Fan Nickname / Umineko: When They Cry

aka: Umineko No Naku Koro Ni

• The series itself is sometimes referred to as Sea Cats/Kittens/Kitties, a pun on the Japanese word for black-tailed gull: Umi -> sea, neko -> cat.^*  Has been seen in the upcoming fighting game as a bit of Gratuitous French: "chat de la mer" Numerous characters also have nicknames, which can be found on the character sheet.
  • Also "Trolls Trolling Trolls" or even "Trolls Trolling Trolls Trolling Trolls" for Gambit Pileup, much of which consists of beings screwing with each other For the Evulz.
• Jessica is known to some as Moon-chan, due to her being The Moon in the Tarot deck.
• After her awesome moment in EP2, Rosa is known as Musou Rosa ("musou" meaning "invincible"). This became an Ascended Meme with the Steam release, which awards the achievement "Musou" for finishing episode 2.
  • She's also been given the title of BEST MOM EVER after Beatrice calls her that in the Tea Party of Episode 2.
• Magical Gohda Chef, which derived from misinterpretation of the engrish ''Happy Maria!' song.
• Beatrice is also known as Beatroll, due to one of her expressions looking suspiciously like 4chan's Trollface, and because she trolls Battler. A lot. And since Episode 3, Moetrice.
• Trollkastel. Or, Bernkastroll.
• Borrowing from her previous incarnation, you'll still see Lambdadelta called 34. Or Super Paper.
• Eva-Beatrice is Evatrice. Later used in one of the episode previews for the anime.
• Due to Ronove's callous speech against Beato and good relationship with Battler, he's been frequently called Bronove.
• Featherine Augustus Aurora is Au Au/Auaurora by the fanbase.
  • And apparently canon, as Bern calls her that.
• WILL MOTHERFUCKING WRIGHT
• Lion was called "Zeppeki-san" (Cliff-san) by fans before Episode 7's release, following the train of thought that if Lion were female, her chest must be either bound or, well, flat as a cliffside.
  • And of course, in the "main" universe, Lion was shoved off a cliff, making this nickname rather darkly hilarious in hindsight...
• Natsuhi tends to be given the Affectionate Nickname of "Nappi" by Japanese fans − since "ppi" (っぴ) is the result of contracting "tsuhi" (つひ) in Japanese.
• Rokkenjima Prime is a common term used by fans in order to clarify when they are talking about the events on the real Rokkenjima.
• While the location where Battler fights against witches in battles of logic is presumably called Purgatorio, it's more commonly known as the Meta-World by fans.
• Shkannontrice and Rosatrice for the two main conflicting culprit theories.
• George is un-affectionately called "JOOJI" by some western fans, to go with his Scrappy status.
• The version of Battler from the pachinko game (whose sprites are also featured in the Steam release) is sometimes referred to as "Mexican Battler", due to his oddly dark skin shade.
