You've heard of Clickbait version of your fic titles, now get ready for Anime versions of chapter titles!
If you're an anime fan, chances are you've noticed that anime episode titles tend to follow a... certain format:
[SPOIL]XY064 はフォッコVSマフォクシー!華麗なるパフォーマーバトル!!
Fokko VS Mahoxy! A Splendid Performance Battle!!
XY065 カメール、ライチュウ登場!ヌメイルがんばる!!
Kameil and Raichu Appear! Good Luck Numeil!!
XY066 ミアレシティ捜査線!シトロイド対ブラック・シトロイド!!
The Miare City Investigation! Citroid VS Black Citroid!!
XY067 ミアレジム戦!サトシVSシトロン!!
Miare Gym Battle! Satoshi VS Citron!!
XY068 狙われたメガシンカ!ガブリアスの絆!!
The Coveted Mega Evolution! Gaburias's Bonds!!
XY069 湿地帯の戦い!ヌメルゴン対フラージェス!!
Battle in the Wetlands! Numelgon VS Florges!!
[/SPOIL]
"Exciting Phrase!! And Now Literally What Happens in the Episode?!"
(Seriously pretty much every anime, especially shounen, does this.)
So, have you got any chapters that could do with an over-the-top anime title? Bonus points if you announce it in next-episode-preview format. Bonus-bonus points if you can think of a good Japanese-style portmanteau for your fic title! (First two syllables of the two most significant words is common.)
And if you're not much of an anime fan but you wanna get in on the fun (or if your chapters already have anime-style names), don't forget: 4Kids had its own, completely different flavor of absurd, pun-tastic episode names. Go nuts with Gen 1 Indigo League style titles!
I'll start!
LC Episode 1: "Entei's Desperation! Mysterious Invitation in the Blazing Forest?!"
LC Episode 2: "Captured by the Rocket Gang! Bakphoon to the Rescue?!"
LC Episode 3: "Pikachu VS Strike! Clash of the Experimental Pokemon!!"
LC Episode 4: "Ace Trainer Ajia Appears! Decisive Battle Against the Rocket Executive!!"
LC Episode 5: "Fork in the Path! Will Jade Become a Pokemon Trainer?!"
LC Episode 6: "Crisis Aboard the St. Anne! The Rocket Gang's Explosive Plot?!"
And for a next-episode preview:
Next time! On レッジェクロン! "Heartfelt Emotions! The Future of a Friendship!!" See you all then!
