** Drrr - for the series in general; a nickname by both the fans and the animation department.

* ''Anime/RinneNoLagrange'': [[RecycledInSpace Space]] [[Anime/TigerAndBunny Kotetsu]] - Villagiulio

** Jobberhan - Gohan whenever he suffers particularly humiliating defeats. Derived from the name "Jobberseid", which was used by [[Franchise/TheDCU DC]] fans to describe [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] before ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', in which he would be beaten by characters that logicially shouldn't be able to.

* ''Manga/KimiNoIruMachi'': "A Town Where You '''RAGE'''" - In reference to the fan reactions toward the manga's output since the start of the likely-will-be infamous Tokyo Arc.

** Chris Yukine is "Zenbu" thanks to her S1 battle songs
** Tsubasa Kazanari is "Sakimori", "Sword", "Wing", [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs "Swordwing"]]
** Kirika and Shirabe are "[=DMJii=]", combining Kirika's design similarities with the [[Franchise/YuGiOh Dark Magician Girl]], Shirabe's [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud "jiii~" staring sound effect]], and [[TheDividual their general tendency of always being together and refered to as a single entity]]
** Hibiki's dad is ironically called "topdad", also because it took a while during the third season's airing for his name to be properly revealed (it's Akira Tachibana, by the way).
** "Jobber Red" for Noble Red, the villain trio of XV, for never heavily challenging the heroes.

** Ultra-Super-Saiyan (Ussj) - The pumped-up SSJ forms Vegeta and Future Trunks use against Cell, since their actual names are less wieldy.

** Atrum Galliasta from [[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks the TV adaptation]] of Unlimited Blade Works has been dubbed Atomic Gatorade.
** [[Literature/FateZero The prequel]] earned Creator/GenUrobuchi the nickname [[DarkerAndEdgier Urobutcher]]. In fairness, the background of Fate/stay night [[ForegoneConclusion required for]] Fate/Zero to have a largely unhappy end, but, uh, it didn't strictly ''have'' to be quite so grimdark.

** Thanks to being voiced by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu in the anime, Papa Shirogane is called [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure "Papa DIO"]]. Jokes about Shirogane being related to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Giorno]] popped up as well. A TranslationTrainwreck of chapter 159 also resulted in him being called "Daddy in the East", while the second season of the anime earned him "Daddy Dio" as a pun on the opening song.

*** Said little girl, Suou, has been dubbed "[[MarySue Mary Suou]]" by certain fans who [[ReplacementScrappy would prefer to watch Hei kicking ass instead]]. [[invoked]]

* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
** On Website/{{Tumblr}} some fans have taken to referring to the main character as "Cone".
** The titular character Conan is often referred in Chinese fan circles as the "elementary school {{Shinigami}}" due to his [[MysteryMagnet uncanny ability to attract murder cases]] wherever he goes.
** [[spoiler:Scar Akai]]: The term was adopted to refer to [[spoiler:the fake Akai Shuuichi, due to the fake having a large burn scar on his face.]]
** Unknown Child, Mysterious Child, etc.: Various takes on this name are used to refer to a child living with [[spoiler:Sera Masumi]] due to a lack of information regarding said child, including no officially revealed name.

** To differentiate ''DigimonAdventure2020'' from the original ''Adventure,'' the show is often abbreviated to ''Digimon 2020'' or ''Adventure 2020.'' Detractors of the series use the : in its name and simply call it ''Colon.''

** This likewise is applied to other characters with dark sides (Yami Bakura, Yami Malik), to the point where it's common {{Fanon}}. In addition, the conventional {{Fanon}} shorthand is that Yami Bakura is "Bakura," Normal Bakura is "Ryou" (which is his given name) Yami Marik is "Marik," and Normal Marik is "Malik." This is so pervasive in {{Ficdom}} that some people don't even realize how ''weird'' it is to have Ryou [[FanDumb address his yami by his own family name, or for his father to accept it as a given name for said yami.]]

** "Fre nda" for Frenda Seivelun, who [[spoiler:had been killed by being sliced in half]].
