{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s for [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:

* Arrowlad - Uryuu Ishida, for obvious reasons. Also, when his father showed up, fans quickly dubbed the guy Arrow''dad''.
* Big McLargeHuge, Thick McRunfast, Dirk Hardpec, etc. - The silent, tall and muscley bodyguard of the princess in the latest filler arc. All ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' references.
** Also from the Shusuke Amagai filler arc:
*** Fillergami - derisive term for Shinigami created for the filler.
*** Captain Tuning Fork - The new filler-only captain who wields a secondary weapon. Three guesses what it looks like.
*** And for the [[Big Bad]], {{spoiler|Shusuke Amagai - Amagaizen}} for being a ripoff of Aizen. Their ''first names'' are even similar:  {{spoiler|Shusuke and Sosuke}}, as well as another "traitor", Kisuke.
*** This making Squad 3 the "Traitor Squad", or [[Star Wars|Rogue Squadron]]. That's three captains ''in a row'' that turned their backs on Soul Society (though the first didn't have a choice)
* Captain Bitchninja - [[Tsundere|Soi Fon]], [[Emotionless Girl|cold and aloof]] female leader of the <s>ninja</s> Secret Remote Squad.
** Also Soi Bean.
** Soi Milk.
** Soi Vay?
** Soy Phone
**  {{spoiler|Banzooka - Soi Bean's bankai, which is too large and bulky for her to effectively use in combat, but fires one HELL of an attack at range. Said bankai has also been recently referred to as the Stinger Missile due to her bee theme}}
** [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Dedede, SOI!]]
** Roflcopter {{spoiler|SOI SOI SOI SOI!}}
** Cell Phone?
* Captain Broken - Sosuke Aizen, for having abilities too powerful for an anime character: for instance, stopping the main character's sword attack with one finger. Also known as "Captain Superman/Evil Superman", as a reference to his invincibility and to his [[Evil Makeover]] resembling Clark Kent's switch to [[Superman]] (minus the suit).
** The Other [[Naruto|Sasuke]] - Their first names sound alike and they both betray their people, not to mention being utterly massive [[Base Breaker|Base Breakers]].
** Captain [[Xanatos Gambit|Xanatos]]: 'Cause he's [[The Chessmaster]].
** Aizen's strand of hair that isn't pulled back is known as The Bitchcurl.
**  {{spoiler|His evolved form}} has picked up a few less-than-respectful ones, such as  {{spoiler|"Condomman, the Walking Condom, Condom!Aizen, Tube Sock Ninja, Captain Broken Condom"}}, and  {{spoiler|"Grand Dragon" for his resemblance to a Ku Klux Klan member.}}
*** And now that {{spoiler|that form was revealed to be a sort of cocoon that he was in while he completed his transformation, his ''newer'' form has picked up several new names, including "Butterflaizen" and "Captain Mullet"}}
**** As of chapter 415, {{spoiler|"Butterflaizen" seems even more appropriate for his ''newer'' newer form, as he has grown 6 [[Narm|Narmy]] butterfly wings.}}
**** And now, as of chapter 419,  {{spoiler|in a new Hollow-like form with questionable openings all over his body}} - Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:  {{spoiler|Vagizen}}. Less [[NSFW]]-ish(and as a result, less common), we have  {{spoiler|Abominaizen}}
**** And to get to his Mullet form and Butterflizen form, Aizen is said to have gone through "[[Lady Gaga|Gaga]][[Sissy Villain|fication]]".
* Captain Consumption (or Captain Tuberculosis) - Ukitake, who coughs quite a bit in his initial appearances.
** [[Word of God]] says he has tuberculosis (Not that this even makes SENSE, what with being a magical ghost and all).
** Now that we know Sogyo no Kotowari's shikai abilities, Captain NO U seems fitting.
* Captain Furry - [[Big Badass Wolf|Sajin Komamura]]. It's actually pretty obvious.
** AKA Captain Eatyourface (when he used to wear a mask to hide his appearance)
* Captain Mom - [[Team Mom|Retsu Unohana]]. Motherly and soft-spoken, she is like a mother figure to her squad and pretty much everyone in Soul Society. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Considering you don't bully her squads constantly, of course.]]
* Captain Shota - Toushirou Hitsugaya. Also sometimes called "Captain Jobber", due to the fact that he could never win against truly powerful opponents despite his position, and even against weaker ones he still has to struggle.
** Lately, Hitsugaya also has a derogatory nickname HitsuFAILya by those who hate him due to his popularity and jobbing, and especially so forumers would escape post modding because there's the word 'gay' amongst his name. $hitsugaya is also good.
*** In a similar vein, some also call him IceFail, in reference to his zanpakuto's relatively ineffective ice attacks.
*** ''Captain Bankai Whore'', since he never bothers with his Shikai, every time after his first fight he uses Bankai. Though this is sometimes also used to refer to Ichigo (minus the "Captain" part, for obvious reason). (Both of them tend to go straight to bankai because their shikais kind of suck.)
*** The Christmas Tree - One of his Bankai's special abilities that he uses to {{spoiler|freeze Harribel}}. Guess what it looks like?
*** Less derogatorily, another good nickname in the vein of Captain Shota is "Captain Kid". Bonus points for being one letter short of [[Pirate|Captain Kidd]].
*** Captain Grumpypants, due to his perpetually grumpy mood.
*** Weak Captain Ed, in a reference to his ''[[Romi Park|other]]'' [[Fullmetal Alchemist|character]]...
* Vice Captain Jobber - Renji Abarai has often been called this even before Hitsugaya, because [[The Worf Effect|he jobs in practically almost every fight he's in]], after his first jobbing against Ichigo.
* Captain Batman: Mayuri, after a [[Batman Gambit|recent chapter]].
** Not to be confused with the Goddamn Batman, a name for Emocar's release.
** Also, captain freakshow
** AKA "Psychomime"
** Captain [[Saw|Jigsaw]], anyone?
** Captain Juggalo, also.
** Clown-face is a rather popular one in the fan fiction community.
* Captain [[For the Evulz|Lulz]]: Gin Ichimaru.
** AKA Captain Rapeface
** AKA Captain Asshole
** AKA Captain Smiley (no, not [[Comic Jumper|Him]])
** The Other [[BlazBlue|Hazama]] - Named for the now famous [[Expy]] of himself who is currently the God of Trolling.<ref>Both characters are voiced by [[Doug Erholtz]] in their respective English dubs, albeit Doug only took over temporarily for Erik Davies.</ref>
* Captain Betterthanu: Byakuya Kuchiki
* [[Stevie Wonder]]: Kaname Tosen
* Dragon Boobs - Orihime, due to her massive pair of breasts, and that her special power is akin to the most common wish used when using the [[Dragon Ball|Dragon Balls]]: reviving the dead.
** Whorihime - derisive nickname for Orihime, principally from those who do not like either [[The Scrappy|her character]] or [[Die for Our Ship|her choice of love interests]] and fixate on her big breasts to insult her.
** Orihime In The Way, because her last name, Inoue, almost sounds like "in the way", due to her being in the way of fights that she would lose and would otherwise allow her comrades to win.
* Namek - Soul Society, to people that view it as a [[Plot Tumor]]. In "honor" of the setting of the long, long Frieza arc in ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z''. Usage: "Are they still on Namek?"
** In the same vein, Hueco Mundo, better known as Mexico. "They still stuck in Mexico?" This lost some of its power when the story shifted to the {{spoiler|Fake Karakura}} arc, although Ichigo and his friends are still inside "Mexico". Both have lost their luster due to the fact that the heroes are no longer in either dimensions in canon.
* Plotkai - Any [[New Powers as the Plot Demands|new plot power]] that appears. It's also applied to any <s>[[Ass Pull]] on the show</s> plot twist the user is dissatisfied.
* Old Man Genocide - Captain Yamamoto, for his role in the destruction of both the Quincy and the Bount.
** Also "Captain Triggerhappy".
** Captain "TREASON!", for his completely illogical decisions for damning someone. He actually doesn't use the word often, but fans have exaggerated it.
* Shirosaki - Ichigo's inner hollow. "Shirosaki" is a play on the black/white symbolism (Kuro means black, Shiro means white), as he looks almost exactly like Ichigo, only in negative. In the English-fandom he's known as Wichigo/Hichigo ('''w'''hite/'''h'''ollow). There are also alternate fan nicknames for this: Ogihci ('Ichigo' spelled backwards), "Hollowichi", or even "our DLHF" ([[Chronicles of Narnia|Dear Little Hollow Friend]]).
* Titty Kubo, Kubo Tits, Beaucoup Titties, Kubo Titties, etc - Tite Kubo. One look at Rangiku Matsumoto (or half the women in the cast) should tell you why.
* "HAG" ('''H'''ot '''A'''rrancar '''G'''irl) - Before Tia Harribel's name was revealed, she was known to many as this.
** Before she transformed the nickname was Underboob.
** Or Halle Berry.
* The Saddest Clown in the World/Mexico- Ulquiorra Cifer, a [[The Stoic|stoic]] Arrancar whose [[Facial Markings]], [[Perpetual Frowner|Perpetual Frown]] and chalk-white skin make him look like a crying, whiteface clown.
** Ulq[Insert Random gibberish here] - because some people don't like trying to spell his name.
** Ulqiblahblah - For [[The Stoic]], he sure does talk a lot.
** "Emo Clown" is another popular one.
** Also, "Emocar" (his facial markings bear a resemblance to emo makeup).
** Emospada. Hell, anything with 'emo' in it tends to work.
** Alky Whora. Just because.
** L-quiorra, because he looks and acts like L from [[Death Note]].
** [http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_bleach He is also known as Ukelala].
** Likewise '[[Uke]]-orra'.. and his release mode is [[The Hulk|'ULK SMASH!']]
* In a similar vein, "Arrancat" or "Grimmkitty" for Grimmjow (his zanpakuto is a panther form).
** It becomes more obvious where the nickname comes from when he releases  {{spoiler|and his power upgrade includes a tail and pointy elf/cat ears.}} No amount of [[Meaningful Name|deliberate sword names]] can save him from it.
*** He's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcPav2zMiFI CAPTAIN PLANET!] And you'd better protect the environment, or he'll F-beep-ing kill you! [[Robot Chicken|CAPTAIN PLANET!]]
* Aaroniero Arruruerie has quite a few nicknames, since the alternative is to type that ridiculous name out. "Rufflecar" is a [[Portmanteau]] of "Ruffles" and "Arrancar", based on his very ...well, ''ruffly'' clothes. {{spoiler|"Kaiencar"}} is also sometimes used, since Aaroniero takes on the appearance and mannerisms of {{spoiler|deceased character Kaien Shiba.}} Lastly, {{spoiler|when he [[One-Winged Angel|unsheathed his ''zanpakutou'' and revealed his true form]], he was gifted with the fan nickname [[Cosmic Horror|"Cthulhucar"]], for [[Self Explanatory|fairly obvious reasons]].}}
** Habeñero, because why the hell not? (It ''sounds'' like Habenero)
* Zomari has a few nicknames, too. The most common one is "Shaq Fu", since he looks like Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal. Alternatively, there's a variation of "Las Noches" that uses... a different n-word. Three guesses where that nickname came from (hint: it starts with "4" and ends with "chan").
* Sizzle - Szayel. Or, as this troper's mom calls him, "Pinkie" or "Pink-haired geek". Also, Brocon of fail.
** Also, Pinkyspada.
* Barragan's name is often abbreviated as Barry.
** Bitchfitcar or Tantrumcar - Name given to him after {{spoiler|his tantrums before he dies}} in Chapter 370.
** Also from Chapter 370 we have {{spoiler|Godcar, after he said he was once the God-King of Hueco Mundo}}. Another name that would work is "{{spoiler|Barragod}}".
** Also [[Berserk|Skull Knight]] when he first showed his true form although this was more joking ("Skull Knight is that you?")
*** And [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|Skeletor]], for the same reason.
* [[Off-Model]] - The heavily [[Off-Model]] animation found in [[Filler]] arcs.
** RAEPFACE - Any [[Off-Model]] and [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy]] looking face, especially those made by [[media:1569wee.jpg|Ikkaku]] or Gin.
** "THIS IS MY ''FILLER'' FACE! -insert goofy narmic face here-
* The Bancouch - Aizen's ridiculously large couch.
** The Couch Behind The Man
* Cherry blossom petals [[Of Doom]], or "Death of a thousand paper cuts" - Byakuya Kuchiki's ''shikai'' and ''bankai'', due to the fact that it's a perfectly accurate description.
** The Most Fabulous Weapon Ever: when used, it shoots '''pink flowers''' at you, while he tries to look as stylish as possible.
* Soul Penis - the Zanpakutou. (Snickers were heard throughout the Soul Society when Ichigo was described as having a zanpakutou as long as he was tall and lacking in impulse control.)
** And remember kids, never judge a man by the size of his... sword.
** And then there's the [http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18700000/Mayuri-Kurotsuchi-bleach-anime-18745504-1395-2041.jpg manner] in which Mayuri carries around ''his'' zanpakutou.
* Spooncar - The arrancar Nnoitra Jiruga, due to his enormous oval-shaped collar. Hoody is also appropriate.
* Pumpkincar - The arrancar Zommari Leroux, because his released form looks like a giant pumpkin with eyes.
* Papagami- {{spoiler|Kurosaki Isshin}}, for obvious reasons.
** The fan fiction community seems to like calling him goat-chin or goat-face.
* Lolinette - Lilinette, Stark's half-dressed little girl fraccion.
* Superchunky - The giant one-eyed hollow that appears at the end of the Soul Society arc and {{spoiler|follows Wonderweiss into Fake Karakura Town.}} Taken from the name of the chapter in which the latter happens, "Superchunky from Hell." Its real name is "Fura".
* Captain Pedosmile - Gin Ichimaru. Ikkaku and Kenpachi too, giving [[Unfortunate Implications]] about their division...
** Especially when you take that squad's Vice Captain into account...
* Rogue Captains - Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tousen.
*** Also referred to as The Traitor Triumvirate.
*** Or the "Bad-Eyesight-Trio". Because, you know, one has glasses(and destroys those dramatically), one never opens his eyes and one's blind...
* Karakuri Town - {{spoiler|The fake Karakura town that Aizen invaded}}.
* The Pimpcoat - Ichigo's Bankai outfit.
* Butler-kun - [[Battle Butler|Sasakibe Choujirou]], Captain Yamamoto's lieutenant.
* Afro-san - Zennosuke Kurumadani. Bonus points for this actually being started by the manga itself and catching on with the fans (Keigo uses it).
** Also Afrogami.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|De-armed]] - What Ichigo does to Yammy after the titanic arrancar obliterates Chad.
** Also [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Diss-Armed]], as a combination retaliation and insult.
** Speaking of Yammy, we have {{spoiler|Yammyzilla, for his gigantic released form}}.
* [[Angels Pose|Ichigo's Angels]] - The opening for seasons 11 and 12, using Shojo S by Scandal, specifically Matsumoto, Orihime, and Rukia. Many have also compared them to [[James Bond|Bond girls]] since the OP is a lot like a typical opening for those movies.
* Captain Calvinball -  {{spoiler|Kyoraku's zanpakuto's [[Combo-Platter Powers]], it's not a genuine example of the trope, but the nickname has stuck.}}
** Speaking of which, [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Kyoraku, King of Games]].
** And [[Chivalrous Pervert|Captain Grab-@$$.]]
* Ichigo's  {{spoiler|resurrection}} in Chapter 350 is sometimes (incorrectly) called "Vasto Lorde Ichigo". Other names include "Mullet Hollow", "Bull Ichigo", "Demon Ichigo" and "Hell Knight Ichigo".
** Also "Super Hollow Ichigo", seeing how his hair grew real long, like Goku when he goes SSJ3.
** As of Chapter 420  {{spoiler|Ichigetsu or Getsugo seem appropriate, or even Ichi'''god'''}}
** Also the Hollow Cow.
** His constant upgrading power instead of dying led to Ichigo being called "Holy Lord Ichigo."
** Also called Scarmask: named after the chapter where the concept art for his superhollow form was the featured cover.
** "Ichithing" seems to be very popular in forums.
* Robo-hime or Mecha-hime: Orihime's [[Cloudcuckoolander|"Future Self"]].
** [[Tekken|Alisa Bosconovitch]] for that same reason, who is pretty much Orihime's future self.
* [[Kamen Rider]] girl: The vizard Mashiro, because her entire design is an [[Homage]] to ''[[Kamen Rider]]''.
* [[Sarcasm Mode|"Main Characters"]]: [[Out of Focus|Chad and Uryu]]
** Poor Chad: Not the character, but the treatment of him, especially in the filler
* Arrankid: Wonderweiss Margera.
** [[Jackass|Bam Margera]].
** And from his {{spoiler|surprise takedown of Ukitake}}, we also have [[Not-So-Harmless Villain|BAMF Margera]].
** Thunderthighs/Thundertheiss: His resurreccion.
** Wondy, Wonderbread
*  {{spoiler|Tousenfly:}} For Tousen's  {{spoiler|Resurreccion, even though it's supposed to be a cricket.}}
** [[The Fly|Say it with me now... 'Heeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeee! Heeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!']]
* Sogy-chan and Koto-chan: The twin spirits of Captain Ukitake's zanpakutou Sogyo no Kotowari. Which one's which is anybody's guess.
* Finger Cannon: Whatever it was that {{spoiler|Isshin}} used to send  {{spoiler|Aizen}} [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|flying off through 3 buildings.]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100726220128/http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/398/18/ Seen here.]
** It should be called the F*** YOU Cannon. [[Flipping the Bird|Because he uses THAT finger.]]
* George is the name of  {{spoiler|the fused Tensa Zangetsu and Super Hollow Ichigo}}, due to a lack of any other sensical thing working.
** {{spoiler|Tensa Hichigetsu? Or just Hichigetsu for short.}}
* Zanbyakuya: Used derisively for  {{spoiler|Tensa Zangetsu's Inner World form}}, which bears a striking resemblance to the 6th Division Captain.
* Pin Cushion: Momo Hinamori between Aizen's Reveal and when Hitsugaya  {{spoiler|stabs her from behind under a illusion of Aizen in chapter 392}}, mostly a joke by fans with a [[Black Comedy|dark]] humorish outlook.
* [[Inuyasha|Shikon no Tama]] (or [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Philosopher's Stone]]): [[MacGuffin|the Hougyokou]].
** Alternately, the "Hoagie". (Mmm, deli sandwiches of cosmic power...)
* Ramen Aizen: Ginjou, from when all we knew about him was that he looked like Aizen in smug mode and that he was carrying a bowl of ramen around for no apparent reason.
** Also anything with one of those two in it. Aizen Jr, New Aizen, Ramen boy.
** Slickback, because of his hairstyle.
* Bookman: Tsukishima.
**  {{spoiler|Now also known as [[Facebook]], for all the friends he's made.}}
** This troper has heard some refer  {{spoiler|to Tsukishima's ability as "CHUCK NORRIS' FACEBOOK!" because he doesn't friend request you it's a demand you can't decline or ignore.}}
** Also, Shuu-chan.
** And [[Troll|Trollishima]] for all the times he trolled Ichigo and his friends.  {{spoiler|Eventually becomes [[Not Funny Anymore]] when his trolling reaches [[Mind Rape]] levels.}}
** And  {{spoiler|Captain Fanfiction, since his special ability is rewrites history as his own self-insert fanfic}}
** Don't forget...  {{spoiler|Captain Retcon!}}
*** But he's [[Insistent Terminology|not a captain.]] He is, however, a nigh- [[Almighty Janitor|Almighty Librarian.]]
* Pwning Festival: {{spoiler|Aizen single handedly defeating the remaining Captains and Vizards}}
* Kinky Boots: Jackie and her power from dirtiness Fullbring "Dirty Boots". You ''know'' you were thinking it.
* Bitchgami and Shrimpgami - Shino and Yuki, the two Shinigamis who show up in 480. Shino is Bitchgami due to her massive [[Tsundere|Tsundereness]]; Yuki is Shrimpgami because of his [[Shrinking Violet]] and [[Butt Monkey]] traits.
** Alternatively, those who don't like using [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Bitchgami]] refer to Shino as [[Tsundere|Tsungami]] instead.
* From [[GameFAQs]] comes Kenpachi [[BlazBlue|the Bloodedge]] because his English voice actor quit and was replaced by Ragna's [[Patrick Seitz|VA]].
* Due to the likeness the Vandenreich have to [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Nazis]], some people have started calling their [[Final Solution|operation]] in Hueco Mundo "The Hollowcaust".
** And for their leader, due to his [[Only Six Faces|resemblence to]] Zangetsu and Kenpachi, "Zanpachi."
** The group itself have been called the "Vandenazis".
** or Vandershit
* Nnoitra Gilga: Pedospoon. Yes, really.
