Fan Nickname/Anime/Gundam

    • Gundam X
      • Frosties - Shagia Frost and Olba Frost, The Frost Brothers, Gundam X's duo of villains
      • GARrod Ran - name capitalized for all the awesome things he manages to pull off in-series.
    • G Gundam
    • Gundam Wing
      • The Perfect Soldier - Heero Yuy
      • The Bat-Gundam - The Gundam Deathscythe Hell in Gundam Wing, especially the Endless Waltz version, based on its resemblance to Batman.
      • Not completely widespread but Gundam Wing's Lady Une surely earned the title Schizo Chick, when Saint Une appeared on the scene.
      • Wufail - Wufei Chang, as he isn't exactly popular with the public.
      • Low-Rent Char/Char Fanboy - Zechs Merquise, the most Char-like looking of all of Gundam's Char Expys.
      • Wing Boys - The five main Gundam pilots (Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wu Fei).
    • Turn a Gundam
    • Gundam SEED/Destiny
      • The Druggies - Orga, Shani, and Clotho, the three Alliance Gundam pilots from late in the series; they can fight on the same level as genetically enhanced Coordinators, but require a special drug (with horrible withdrawal symptoms) to do so. Notable for being used as more of a term of affection than derision among the fandom, despite the name's negative connotations. The Japanese equivalent of this nickname is "Baka Trio", from the word for stupid or idiot.
      • The Japanese fans also refer to Sting, Stella, and Auel (the Alliance Gundam pilots from Destiny) as the New Baka Trio; American fans never really gave them a nickname.
      • Jesus Yamato - Kira Yamato as of Gundam SEED Destiny. Given to the character by disgruntled fans who feel that the character was made invincible and given an Omniscient Morality License simply due to being popular with the Japanese audience, or because of the perceived notion that he is series director Mitsuo Fukuda's Marty Stu. Related are the nicknames "Virgin Mary Clyne" or "Virgin Mary 2.0" for Lacus Clyne, for the same reasons as Kira, only with Lacus being accused of writer Chiaki Morosawa's Author Avatar.
      • In the wake of his death, Chairman Durandal acquired the nickname "Space Commie Naraku" due to his striking resemblance to the Big Bad of Inuyasha and the fact that the Destiny Plan is essentially Communism IN SPACE.
    • Gundam 00:
      • Tieria Erde in particular has gained an entire laundry list of nicknames as the series has progressed. Here's just a handful...
        • "Vowels" - The most famous of his nicknames, coined within a few episodes of the series' beginning because... well, look at all the vowels in that name!
        • "Zetsubou-sensei" - because he's voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya, the same seiyuu who voices the famous teacher.
        • "Moeria" - because his fangirls think he's adorable when he's sad.
        • Lockon's Widows - he and Feldt Grace were collectively known as this for a short time, following certain events from near the end of season one.
        • "Titeria" - just look at episode 8 of the second season for all you need to know on this one.
        • "Showels" - for his little bit of fanservice in episode 10 of season two.
      • Team Patrick - Patrick Colasour, resident loser antagonist. Named after the Team Rocket trio from the Pokémon anime.
      • Bad/Evil Amuro - Ribbons Almark, Alejandro Corner's useful and traitorous servant, as a result of being voiced by Tohru Furuya, who played Amuro Ray from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and there's also "Fucking Ribbons" after he reveals himself to be the true big bad and leaves Corner to die as well as many other bastard moves he does henceforth..
        • The writers apparently took this to heart in the movie, which establishes that Aeolia Schenberg was friends with a man named "E.A. Ray", who looks like a brown-haired Ribbons and is most likely Ribbons' genetic source material.
      • Prince Ali - Ali Al-Saachez, since his first name is a popular name for Arabian Nights princes, but most infamously the disguise used by Aladdin in the Disney version: Prince Ali. Thus, there has been some Memetic Mutation replacing Aladdin in his Prince guise with Ali Al-Saachez' face, and they even poke fun with his Image Song: "Prince Ali, Mighty Is He!"
        • Since his death, people have rewritten the meme to "Prince Ali, Mighty Was He." Rest in peace, O lovable bastard.
      • Johann Trinity, the eldest of the Gundam Thrones, is referred to as "Captain Hotpants" for being the leader of the trio and wearing very tight white shorts.
      • Setsuna F Seiei has...
      • "Sousuke" and "Gauron" - Setsuna and Ali, after the Full Metal Panic! characters they are expies of.
      • King Arthur - Saji Crossroad, according to Soul Bro Ryu of the Gundamn! podcast.
      • Papa Bear - Sergei Smirnov, due to his in-series nickname "Wild Bear of Russia". Sometimes called 'Pedo Bear' due to his interactions with teenaged Super Soldier Soma Peries... even though his feelings were obviously fatherly.
        • After he dies, the nickname 'Pedo Bear' is inherited to his now much-reviled son Andrei Smirnov for the latter's affection towards a younger Louise Halevy.
      • Stupid, sexy Lockon!
      • Lockon 2.0 - Lyle dylandy, neil's twin brother
        • "Lecharous Lyle" after events in episodes 3 and 4 in season 2.
      • Doublelujah - (H)Allelujah, due to both personalities being active at once during (H)Alle's Crowning Moment of Awesome in the first season's finale.
      • The Red Ranger - Anew Returner. When the CB members got color-coded outfits in 00 season 2, fans wondered where the "red ranger" was. One eventually showed up. However it was Soma Peries/Mary Parfacy who dons a Red pilot suit and mecha in batttle.
      • The A-LAWS are less affectionately called as the A-HOLES by fans.
        • Also known as A-LOLS.
      • The name 'Bushido Bob' was given to Graham Acre in the mid-series break due to the mask he was seen wearing in the previews for season 2. The authors thought it was either cool or funny because he returned with the name of 'Mr Bushido', with the note "That's what they decided to call me." (It's all your fault!)
        • And because his new mechas, the Masurao, later upgraded to Susanowo, can use the Trans-Am system, it's jokingly called the Trans-GrahAm by fans.
          • One fan-dub of Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer]] even uses this when he activates it clear Setsuna's way to heart of alien ship thats threatening Earth
        • Some less affectionate fans call him "Flag fucker" for his... overly affectionate treatment of the various mecha (mostly Exia).
        • And among those less than fond of his S2 image change described above he's known as "Mr. Bullshito".
      • Blasting Zone - The Trans-Am Raiser.
      • Loli GM - The GN Archer
      • Gundam Lagann - The Seraphim Gundam, because it has a face on it's chest.
      • GN Pixie Dust - GN Particles, self explannatory just by looking at them, and also because they give abilites that are almost Spiral Power level in proportion.
        • Everything except revive the dead. In turn, this gave the main character the nickname "Jesus Setsuna", and it's more than his fighting hax.
        • actually, it revives louise in the closing episodes of S2, after she kicks the bucket from red GN particles that power her fake left arm.
        • Lacus Dust - Referring to the pinkish-red exhaust particles spewed by the Freedom, and later, Strike Freedom.

      • SoMarie -Soma Peries/Marie Parfacy, a portmanteau nickname.
      • Darth Louise - Louise Halevy in season 2, due to having a Red Right Hand (well... left hand in her case, but still) quantum brainwaves, mostly answering only to Ribbons, and other similarities between her and Lord Vader.
      • Gundam DD - The entire series in a whole for having many busty women.
      • Nena 2 - Meena Carmine, for having her name remain unrevealed for serveral months and for being Nena's Identical Stranger.
      • Corner's Counterattack - The hilarious film within a film shown at the beginning of Gundam 00 a Wakening of The Trailblazer. The fact that the asteroid base shown bears an uncanny resemblance to Axis does not help.
      • China Bitch - Wang Liu Mei, the Chinese Smug Snake who was quite unpleasant and whose attitude throughout the series was "I want the world to change, but I don't care who does it." Occasionally called China Tits because, like almost every other female in the series, she was large-breasted.
      • Nu Exia - The 00 QAN[T], due to its design, right down to the "funnels".
      • Hank Hercules - Pang Hercury; this was the translation that at least one fansub used, and it stuck around for a while due to being a prime example of Awesome McCoolname.

      • Commander McAwesome - Daguza Mackle
      • Kobe Byalant - The RX-160S Byalant Custom in OVA 4; despite being an outdated Titans design, it more than holds its own against a multitude of Sleeves and Zeon Remnant suits, simultaneously.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
      • Mega Man - Frite Asuno, based on the design of his pilot suit.
      • Cult of Graham - the sinister guys in black robes that appear in Ep.5, as their leader wears a mask almost identical to one worn by Graham Acre (aka Mister Bushido) in 00 S2.
