Some works have titles with multiple meanings that all refer to the content of the work in different and independent ways. Often, one of the two meanings will be obvious at first glance, while the second meaning is more subtle and/or pertains to The Reveal or some other plot twist. The authors are probably very proud of themselves. They are often hard or impossible to translate literally to another language, so translations will frequently use a Completely Different Title. Compare Pun-Based Title (where the titles only sound like other things that refer to the content of the work), Justified Title (where a title that refers to the format of the work also refers to the content in some way) and Multiple Reference Pun (where similar forms of wordplay appear in other facets of the work). A Sub-Trope of Double Meaning. |

Unraveled is ostensibly about Brian David Gilbert unraveling some esoteric aspect of video game lore (such as the logical timeline of the The Legend of Zelda series or determining exactly what Kirby is). It is mostly about Brian's mental state slowly unraveling the deeper he follows his research and conclusions. | |

The original title of The Confines of the Crown, The Royal Trap, refers both to the dangers for those caught up in royal politics and to the Gilded Cage that the royals themselves are forced to live in, but takes on another meaning when you realize that Princess Cassidy was born male, though she identifies as female. This likely wasn't intentional though, as the title change was largely due to wanting to avoid offending anyone who considers "trap" a transgender slur. | |

Watchmen: The phrase "Who watches the watchmen?" can be translated from the original Latin ("Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?") as "who guards the guards?" implying that the superheroes themselves are under attack. But it can also refer to those who watch, implying that someone else is watching them. It's also suggested to mean "Who watches over them?", since they're virtually all horribly broken individuals. Alternately, it can be interpreted as "who polices the police?", referring to the fact that the "heroes" aren't really as heroic as they should be (this was the original meaning of the Latin phrase in context). It also has an entirely different set of layered meanings — Dr. Manhattan was originally a watchmaker, and his ability to see the future implies that everyone and everything in the universe is simply an unwinding clockwork mechanism — a world of mechanical watch-men. The title of Chapter 10 is "Two Riders Were Approaching", a phrase from the Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower". (The line is quoted in full at the chapter's end.) This phrase turns out to have five meanings within the chapter. The initial panels show the president and vice president arriving at the Cheyenne Mountain bunker, first on separate jet planes and then riding separate electric golf carts. In the parallel story line of the "Black Freighter" pirate comic book, the protagonist encounters (and kills) two people riding horses. Two Jehovah's Witnesses riding bicycles stop at the newsstand to buy a newspaper and try to give a tract to the newsvendor. The last few panels show Nite Owl and Rorshach on hover-bikes, approaching Veidt's Antarctic base. When Nite Owl tries to guess the password on Veidt's office computer, it responds to his almost-correct password with "Password incomplete: Do you wish to add rider?" The correct "rider" is the number two. |

The font of the kanji "é”法" (mahou, magic) in Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (Magical Girl Madoka Magica) logo text is heavily stylized, and could be read instead as "廃怯" (hai-kyou, cowardice, hesitation). The title could reasonably be read as "廃怯少女　ã�¾ã�©ã�‹â˜†ãƒžã‚®ã‚«" (Hai-Kyou Shoujo Madoka Magika), or Wavering Girl Madoka Magica in English. This is, if anything, a more accurate description of the series. | |

The title of Over the Garden Wall references how the series is about Wirt and Greg visiting the other, mysterious world that is the Unknown. However, the penultimate episode reveals a much more literal meaning: The brothers went to a cemetery called the "Eternal Garden", climbed over a wall when they thought the police were after them, almost got hit by a train, and then fell into a freezing pond. That is how they got into the Unknown. | |

Abraxas is a Protagonist Title, referring to the two main protagonists' Meaningful Name as a Titan that they gain in Chapter 10. That name in turn refers to the protagonists being a fusion of two beings who embodied multiple opposite concepts to each-other including female/male, good/evil and human/Titan, and have come together to form a single Physical God while making each-other whole: the latter is very important to the duo's character arc over the fic. | |

Swing, You Sinners!: "Swing" can mean either "dance", befitting the upbeat, jazzy song number from which the short takes its name, or it can mean "what someone does at the end of a noose", and sure enough there's no shortage of hanging references in regards to poor Bimbo. | |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has a number of meanings, all of which are related to huge spoilers, including those which aren’t revealed until the end of the game. The "V" in V3 is the only time the series has formatted its titles in this way. Most fans will assume it’s merely an addition to differentiate it from the Danganronpa 3 anime series, guessing that the V stands for "version", "video game", or "visual novel". In the game's final chapter, it is revealed that the entire Danganronpa saga up to this point was an in-universe TV show, with each game or anime being a different season broadcasted on live television. V3 was the fifty-third season in-universe, with the "v" being a Roman numeral for 5 (It really ought to be L3 by Roman number conventions, but that would ruin the misdirection). Killing Harmony, which references the Rhythm Game mechanics of the class trials, can also refer to the death of the Decoy Protagonist Kaede Akamatsu. Harmony is a musical term, which can mean two or more pitches sounding in combination. Kaede is a classical pianist who plays her instrument harmoniously. She's also a paragon of good who fosters social harmony among the ultimate students, inspiring them to resist the mastermind’s attempts to divide them against each other. The mastermind eventually realizes that the students are never going to cooperate with the killing game unless Kaede is removed from the picture, so the mastermind kills Rantaro and frames Kaede for it, allowing her to be falsely convicted in the class trial. Her Cruel and Unusual Death, "Der Flohwalzer", involves her being hanged by the neck and used to operate the keys of a giant piano until she dies; this method of execution could be considered a "killing harmony", i.e. a piece of music that kills. Furthermore, if Kaede is the person who preserves harmony between the students and therefore represents the concept of harmony, then by killing her the masterminds succeeds in "killing harmony". The surviving students learn to fear and distrust each other, making it all too easy for the mastermind to manipulate one student or another into committing a murder in each subsequent chapter. Yet another meaning of killing harmony is revealed at the end, when it turns out that the whole killing game is part of an ongoing TV show orchestrated for the entertainment of viewers around the world. World peace has been created through the elimination of war and conflict, so Danganronpa satisfies an otherwise unmet craving for violent thrills and the emotional rollercoaster of hope and despair. The people of the world are living in harmony with each other, but the thing that unites them is their obsessive consumption of this killing game, and they are unanimous in demanding that the protagonists play their parts so that the show will never have to end. |

RENT deals with characters who are trying to get out of paying their rent, and whose lives are torn apart — i.e., rent — by poverty and disease. La Bohème, on which Rent is based, has a similar duality; taken literally, it refers to "The Bohemian (woman)" — i.e. Mimi — and figuratively it refers to "The Bohemian Lifestyle" (referenced in Rent with the song "La Vie Bohème") |

Much Ado About Nothing follows the standard Shakespearean comedy convention of having a self-deprecating title. Additionally, in Shakespeare's day, "nothing" was a double-entendre for female genitalia, and a major part of the plot deals with Hero's virginity. (It's also — and separately — a Pun-Based Title, as "nothing" and "noting" were homonyms to Shakespeare.) | |

Inside Out focuses on five anthropomorphic versions of the basic emotional states of an 11-year old girl named Riley and how their actions within her head project as her behavior externally. When Joy and Sadness become lost within her mind, this creates internal turmoil for Riley as she's having to deal with making a whole new life from scratch after moving to a new town. In her eyes, her world has been "turned inside-out". | |

In season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug, most episodes are named for a concept that relates to a superpower that is used in that episode. In most cases, the word also applies to other events of that episode. For example, the first episode, "Evolution", corresponds to the Rabbit Miraculous and its time-travelling Burrow power, but also to the main villain evolving into a new threat as "Monarch". | |

The r/nosleep story "My boyfriend needs to be drunk in order to have sex with me" is, on the surface, about a trans woman who feels unwanted because of Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and insists that they do it sober, for once. After unenthusiastically complying, the man "...got up from the bed, pulled away the maggots that clung to his flesh, and wiped away the streaks of slime from his belly. He then opened both windows of the bedroom, letting out the miasmal gases." Turns out that the narrator's "transition" was not "male-to-female", but rather "dead-to-living"... | |

When They Cry: Both of the series contains a few. The first and most obvious one is the double meaning of the word ´´cry/naku´´ (both words carry the same meaning), to call and to weep. In other words, the titles can be interpreted either as When The Cicadas/Seagulls Call or When The Cicadas/Seagulls Weep. Another double meaning for Higurashi is that "cicada" (蜩) can also be written as "day-to-day life" (日暮�), and besides the above translation Naku can also be written as "none/nothing". This means that besides When The Cicadas Cry, the title can also be written as "When the day-to-day life is no more". While it is a bit of a stretch Umineko literally means Seacat (Umi-Sea, Neko-Cat) and Schrödinger's Cat is often used in the series to explain the endless possible scenarios of Rokkenjima. So the title can be written as either "When the Seagulls Cry" or "When the cat in the middle of the sea is dead". Which fits surprisingly well with the end of the series where Beatrice's "catbox" is buried at the bottom of the sea. |

The Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood episode "The Shape of This Country" reveals that the entire history of the country of Amestris has been engineered to create and fuel a gigantic transmutation circle at its border. Thus, the country has been "shaped" for an evil plot both figuratively and literally. (This is also a reference back to the very first episode, where McDougal ranted to the Elrics, "Don't you guys understand the shape this country is in?") | |

RWBY: Volume 1 has the two-parter "Black and White", which focuses on Blake and Weiss (who represent those colors as part of the show's use of Colorful Theme Naming) getting into a gigantic argument because they both view the treatment of the Faunus in stark "us versus them" terms and neither will acknowledge that the other has valid points — in other words, they see the issue in black and white. "The Final Word" breaks Volume 8's trend for single-word titles. The episode and volume's final line of dialogue is Cinder telling Ironwood "And that's checkmate", suggesting that the episode's true, hidden title is "Checkmate". |

Attack on Titan: Episode 78, "Two Brothers," can either refer to Eren and Zeke or Colt and Falco, since both pairs of brothers play significant roles in the episode. The original Japanese title of the series, Shingeki no Kyojin, can be read as either "Attacking Titans" or "[the] Attack Titan." Initially, it seems that it reads as the former, as the story deals with humanity's war against the titans, but later on, it is revealed that the name of Eren Yeager's titan is called the "Attack Titan." This detail was Lost in Translation and makes the twist more difficult to anticipate. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Japanese title for the first movie, Death and Rebirth, is written as "シト新生" (Shi to Shinsei). The first two characters, written in katakana, can either stand for "æ»ã�¨" (shi to, "death and," as in the English title) or "使徒" (shito, "apostle," the term used in the original Japanese to refer to the Angels). A similar pun was employed for the title of episode 24, "最後ã�®ã‚·è€…" (Saigo no Shisha), which can be read as "The Final Messenger" or "The Final Casualty" depending on what kanji is used for "shi". On top of that, "シ者" looks like "渚" (Nagisa — as in Kaworu's last name). This sums up the plot of the episode, which is that Kaworu turns out to be the final Angel, and dies. Also, the word " Angel" can mean "Messenger." Its English title, "The Last Cometh," can refer to either the final Child or the final Angel. They're the same person, after all. The final episode of the series is called, "The Beast that Shouted Ai at the Heart of the World." Obviously it's a pun on a Harlan Ellison story ("The Beast that Shouted 'Love'..." — ai means "love"), but it sounds like "The Beast that Shouted 'I'..." As in, "I am an individual!" |

Virtue's Last Reward refers to the general theme of the game about how showing virtue is neither good or bad. It means both "virtue leads to your death", as in the phrase "he was led to his last reward", but also can be interpreted as "virtue will give you a last reward", as in if you're virtuous you will succeed. This double meaning title was made for the English version to replicate the double meaning of the Japanese title, Zennin Shib� Desu. Although it's literal translation is "Good People Die", it can also be alternatively read to mean something along the lines of "I want to be a good person." | |

Kyubey rebelling against Madokami? Homura rebelling against her imprisonment? The girls rebelling against Homura's attempt to destroy herself and the labyrinth to save them? Homura rebelling against Madokami? The implied eventual rebellion to Homura's new world order? Urobuchi rebelling against people wanting a happier ending? It's anyone's guess, but it's probably meant to be at least a few of these things. | |

Homestuck: The central game of the comic has Titles for players that grant them certain powers. The titles have non-literal meanings to them (Prince effectively means Destroyer, Light mainly means Chance), and your main power is linked to Sburb's interpretation of the Title. However, if a Title can have a literal meaning, Sburb has a chance of granting you that too (a Seer of Mind can see imaginary friends) or giving you a fate that literally interprets your Title (the Thief of Light blinded someone). Certain major animation pages have names that can be applied to a number of different things that happen on the same animation. "Enter," the end of Act 3, involves John entering his first Gate, Rose entering Sburb, and Jade entering the time capsule lotus room and finding her own copies of the game. |

The movie Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure is titled Tous à l'Ouest : Une aventure de Lucky Luke in the original French. It means "Everybody Heads West", which describes correctly the plot of the characters traveling toward the West coast of America, but this is also a slang term that can mean "everybody's crazy!" Which is again not too far from the truth. | |

Conveniently, the title fit with the comic's numerous separate irregularly-updated storylines...until the comic ended, and the website switched to hosting weekly blog posts, which the author lampshaded as making it neither irregular nor a webcomic. | |

The Order of the Stick has several for its strip titles. For example, "Telling Lies" refers to both Haley's potion-enhanced bluff ability letting her tell any lie and have it be believed, and to the fact that (since the potion doesn't work when she tells the truth) the specific lies she tells reveal her true feelings to the readers (i.e. her lies are telling, in the "revealing" sense). To be exact, the fact that she is shown to be using the potion's effects when she tells her father that he raised her well, and didn't screw her up emotionally, shows us what she really thinks about him. | |

Both of the series contains a few. The first and most obvious one is the double meaning of the word ´´cry/naku´´ (both words carry the same meaning), to call and to weep. In other words, the titles can be interpreted either as When The Cicadas/Seagulls Call or When The Cicadas/Seagulls Weep. | |

Iron and Wine's extended narrative song "The Trapeze Swinger" is named for a recurring symbol in the song that relates back to the title in varying ways. At various points, it refers to the protagonist's memory of visiting the circus as a child and being entranced by a trapeze artist (symbolizing his lost childhood innocence), to the precarious nature of his relationship with his beloved (with their relationship referred to as a "trapeze act" at one point), and to the precarious nature of life itself (when, in the end, it's revealed that the protagonist has been Dead All Along, and narrating the song from the afterlife). | |

It can refer to the appearance of the moon during a lunar eclipse which occurs in the film. It also can be interpreted as embracing both Chinese and Canadian culture given the symbolism of the colour red to both countries. | |

In Skyhold Academy Yearbook, the installment called Disorienuptials falls into this (along with being a One-Word Title and a Portmantitle). The main focus of the plot is a wedding (hence the nuptials), which gets kickstarted by one character having his wisdom teeth removed and making a Wacky Marriage Proposal while recovering from sedation (hence the disorient). However, it's hinted throughout the narrative that there's a secondary plan in the works, and the audience doesn't find out what it is until most of the characters do. It's a surprise wedding for another couple. | |

Lucky Luke: Lucky Luke: Ballad of the Daltons: The title alludes to the Framing Device of the narrator singing a ballad about the Dalton brothers, but in French its homophone "Balade" means "taking a stroll", which is more or less what the Daltons are doing — taking a stroll out of jail before being dragged back. The movie Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure is titled Tous à l'Ouest : Une aventure de Lucky Luke in the original French. It means "Everybody Heads West", which describes correctly the plot of the characters traveling toward the West coast of America, but this is also a slang term that can mean "everybody's crazy!" Which is again not too far from the truth. |

On the face of it, this refers to the Puppeteer Parasite alien species which appears among humanity and begins to prey on humans.

However, there are multiple other characters in the story who the moniker of "weak hero" could be applied to, the two most notable being Eugene (Gray's first ally who can't fight at all but nevertheless heroically supports him) and Stephen (who defies his bullies for the sole purpose of protecting his friend, a scene the author has admitted was inspiration for the webtoon's title). | |

Berserk: The Conviction Arc (æ–罪篇 or Danzai hen) is a Story Arc named after the Tower of Conviction in St. Albion, which is a place where sinners are punished. Throughout this Arc, Guts comes into conflict with Knight Templar antagonists including the Holy Iron Chain Knights and Bishop Mozgus who are on a crusade to stamp out witchcraft and heresy, so that the title refers to how they "convict" and punish anyone who disagrees with their dogma. Translating danzai as "conviction" gives it a second meaning in English, since "a conviction" is also a strongly held belief like religion or a reason to fight. In the case of Guts, he gets a What the Hell, Hero? about running away from his responsibility for Casca and reaches a new conviction that he’ll rescue her no matter what it takes. Meanwhile, antagonist Farnese experiences a Heel Realization and crisis of faith, which is resolved when she quits the Church and decides to follow Guts. Volume 16, episode 111, "Monster" ("Kaibutsu") involves Nominal Hero Guts confronting a literal monster in the form of the insectoid Apostle Rosine, but at this moment the title is more befitting of Guts himself in a He Who Fights Monsters way. After letting Rosine's fake elf children swarm and bite him, he deliberately jumps through a fire in order to kill them and then douses himself by cutting open one of the cocoons in which her kidnapped children are reborn as monsters. He stands before Rosine with blood and organs dripping off him, giving a Kubrick Stare with one demonic-looking eye, while gnawing on the intestine of one of the creatures with his teeth. Even the bloodthirsty Rosine is as shocked as she is angered, asking, "Are you really human? What the hell are you?!". |

Spirit of Justice has a number of meanings. The most obvious one is the metaphorical spirit of justice that the characters are attempting to uphold. 'Spirit' can be taken literally as well though, as spirits of the departed play a vital role in the game's story. Take that a big further, and the title can also refer to the spirit of Jove Justice, which becomes a vital element in the game's finale. Furthermore, "Spirit of Justice" is also the name of the Lady Justice statue in the Department of Justice Headquarters in Washington D.C. | |

Steven Universe: "The Return": Lapis and Peridot are returning to both Earth and the show as a whole. And while we hadn't seen Jasper before, it later turned out that she was returning to her birthplace. "Cry for Help": Peridot's distress signal to Homeworld, but also both Pearl and Amethyst's unhealthy feeling that they can't manage without Garnet. "Lars' Head": The continuing emotional growth of Lars, but also the dimensional portal in his hair. "Can't Go Back": Lapis doesn't think she can return to Earth, but also, the following episode reveals that Steven's dream represents Pink Diamond's "no turning back" decision. "The Question" is both a Cross-Referenced Title to "The Answer", in that Ruby questions why she and Sapphire stayed fused as Garnet just because Rose told them to, but also refers to her asking Sapphire to marry her. "Reunited" has three different meanings: Ruby and Sapphire reuniting as Garnet, Lapis returning to Earth and joining the Crystal Gems, and Blue and Yellow Diamond believing they have reunited with Pink. "Escapism" refers to both Steven and Connie's desire to escape Homeworld, as expressed in the titular song and the fact that the episode serves as a breather (though not an entirely peaceful one) from the serious plot at hand. |

In Romulan the title Solaere ssiun Hnaifv'daenn literally means "Aid to the Needy". This obviously refers primarily to the ch'M'R Aen'rhien's humanitarian mission to deliver vaccines and antiviral drugs to the planet Glintara, but it could also refer to Jaleh Khoroushi needing companionship as the Token Human on a Romulan ship (a need filled by Tovan tr'Khev). | |

Frozen co-director Chris Buck mentioned in an interview that the title was chosen because it described the film on two levels. On the literal level, it describes the ice-covered landscape that the story took place in. On a more symbolic level, it describes the relationship of the two sisters, which is "frozen in the film when they were little girls". Additionally, it also refers to the loss of warmth of feeling and being stunned or chilled with fear (or shock), something that the sisters experience during the film. | |

Pacific Overtures is about the opening of Japan to Western trade — hence, "Pacific Overtures", since Japan is in the Pacific Ocean and an overture is a piece of music (ironically, Pacific Overtures lacks an actual overture). But the title also means 'peaceful initiatives', and was supposedly Commodore Perry's actual description of the American's efforts to persuade the Japanese to open up to trade with them. | |

Frequent in The Infinity Series: Ever17: Refers to both Blick Winkel mistaking all the events for occurring in 2017, as well as Tsugumi's Curé Virus stopping her aging at physically 17 years old. Remember11: Though the number in the title initially looks like 11, it can also refer to 2 (1+1) or 3 (11 read as a binary number). This, (along with the logo of the game being three interlocked rings) hint that the game is about looking past first assumptions. 12Riven: The subtitle, Ψ-Climinal of Integral can be read two ways due to the Japanese L/R confusion. Psych Liminal (probably alluding to the alternate dimension) or Psi Criminal (alluding to the criminals using PSI abilities). |

The final episode of Death Note's Animated Adaptation is titled "New World". It's also the climatic end in which the stakes are at their highest: will the New World be the perfect crime-free utopia Light is trying to create in his image, or will it be one newly freed from Light and the Death Note users' reign of terror? The title of the second movie is "The Last Name." It could refer to Light's struggle to find out L's last name in order to kill him, since L's real name is L Lawliet, but it also could refer to whose name will be the last one written in the Death Note. |

Star Wars Resistance: In "The Triple Dark", the title phrase has several meanings: First, a "triple dark" is a phrase used on the Colossus to describe a low-visibility storm, which pirates like Kragan and his band use to hide in when they attack the station. It also fits how the First Order, who are revealed to be behind Kragan's attack in this episode, are preparing to surprise-attack the New Republic, and (almost) no one suspects a thing. | |

The Musical of Musicals: The Musical! uses this trope for two of its five segments: The Rodgers and Hammerstein parody is entitled "Corn!", because it takes place among the cornfields of Kansas and because of its old-fashioned, hokey, corny sentimentality. The Stephen Sondheim parody is called "A Little Complex", achieving a rare triple meaning: it takes place in a little apartment complex, everyone has a little psychological complex, and the music itself is a little complex (i.e., complicated). |

Ex Machina has a few examples: The first storyline is titled "The First Hundred Days". It refers both to an old rule about politics (that a politician's first 100 days in office are the most crucial), and to the protagonist Mitchell Hundred's first days as Mayor of New York City. The "Smoke Smoke" story arc is both about Mitchell getting dragged into a debate over legalizing marijuana in New York City, and about the New York Police Department investigating a string of crimes seemingly committed by a rogue firefighter. It also ends with the revelation that Mitchell secretly smokes marijuana to cope with the stressful side effects of his powers. |

The title of One Piece itself. While it refers to the treasure of "One Piece" mentioned by Gol D. Roger at the very beginning of the story, it also refers to the absolutely brutal world everyone lives in and the various pirate crews' hopeful efforts in making it to the desired treasure in one piece. |

The title of Dominoes could refer to two things: a hobby game in which small tiles called dominoes are set up in long lines at regular intervals so that when pushed, the preceeding domino knocks the following domino over, which knocks over the subsequent behind it—a game often used as physical allegory for cumulative cause-and-effect chains, from which the name of such circumstances derives (a "domino effect") as well as the concept of Disaster Dominoes. It could also refer to Domino Masks, the type of masks commonly worn by superheroes in comics and cartoons, and the type of masks specifically worn by the morally questionable Super Team in-story. Fitting for a Super Fic with themes of secrecy, deception, and the far-reaching consequences that result. | |

For example, episode 1442 is called "Not to Scale", and is about them preparing a battle map for the next game session (where the figures may not be to scale) and Ben warning Pete about attending a high school concert (where the singers will probably be out of tune). | |

The Fairly OddParents!: "Hare Raiser" revolves around a monstrous rabbit, so it's a pun on "hair raiser". However, this is a Stealth Pun for the episode's ending, where the hare was only being scary so it could get food for its babies; it's a hare raising its children! | |

Twice Upon an Age is a series of fanfics set in an Alternate Universe where there are two Inquisitors - a female human and a male elf. The series title refers to the fact that there are two Inquisitors, of course; but it also refers to the fact that, in the series backstory, there are two Heroes of Ferelden, who were also a female human and a male elf.note It Makes Sense in Context - the author likes playing human females in the DA games and wrote the series as a gift for her best friend, who likes playing male elves. | |

Hatoful Boyfriend: "Hato" is apparently the word for "Dove", and it is a game where most characters are doves. "Hatoful" is one way to say "Heartful" in Japanese, and it's also a play on "Hurtful". Its sequel Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star came out around and initially seems to be Christmas-themed. The eponymous Holiday Star doesn't appear until somewhere in February in-game and doesn't have anything to do with any specific holiday — it's 'holiday' in the sense of leaving your life and responsibilities behind. |

Oshi no Ko: The common way to read the title is "The girl (idol) I support", referring to Ai. However, at the end of the first chapter, it's clear that the other intended reading is "The children of the girl I support", referring to Ai's children, Aqua and Ruby. The Indonesian release of the Oshi no Ko manga does a similar thing by including the subtitle "Anak Idola", which can be translated as either "Child Idol" (referring to Ai, an idol who was 16 at the beginning of the story) or "Child(ren) of the Idol" (referring to Aqua and Ruby). |

The title of Walrusguy's Youtube Poop "The Only Mama Luigi Poop Anyone Has Ever Made" is both a hyperbolic sarcasm (Mama Luigi was a very popular poop source at the time) and a reference to the fact that while normally Walrusguy uses Mama Luigi to disguise Doctor Rabbit poops, "The Only..." was an actual Mama Luigi poop. | |

Ingrid Michaelson's song "The Chain", in which the act of taking the chain off of the door is about making up with her ex and letting him back into her home/life.

TV Tropes: There are some Trope Names that have double meanings: Like Is, Like, a Comma: In the days before punctuated titles were allowed, this could be parsed as either "The word 'like' functions as a comma" or as a Self-Demonstrating Article ("'Like' is, like, a comma!") The current punctuation establishes the second interpretation as correct. Money for Nothing: It can parsed as "money gotten without effort" and "money that has no use". Most examples have both true at the same time. As noted in the trope description, Last-Second Chance could be parsed as either "a chance (at redemption) offered at the last second" or "the final possible offer of a second chance for the character," both of which neatly sum up the description when taken together. However, this depends on disregarding the hyphen, which allows only the first meaning. The Scrappy: while Scrappy-Doo is the Trope Namer, it can also be interpreted as "character the audience wants the creators to scrap". Thememobile can be read as either "Theme-mobile" or "The me-mobile," both of which describe the trope. Nothing Is Scarier could be phrased as "Nothing is Scarier... than not knowing" or "...not being shown something". It could also be literal as in Nothing (instead of having something there) is Scarier. Hell Is That Noise can be read as either "the hell is that noise?" or "that noise is hell". |

Zero Escape: The title of the franchise refers to the central antagonistic "Zero" figures, and also means that there's no escape. Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has its title commonly shortened to 999. This shortened title conveys the urgency of the situation the characters have found themselves in, as "999" is one of the most commonly used emergency telephone numbers (alongside 911 and 112). The long version of the title also has a double-meaning that counts as a major spoiler: there are doors labeled with numbers 1 to 9, and every number is used at least once, but there are multiple "nine" doors encountered at the end. Virtue's Last Reward refers to the general theme of the game about how showing virtue is neither good or bad. It means both "virtue leads to your death", as in the phrase "he was led to his last reward", but also can be interpreted as "virtue will give you a last reward", as in if you're virtuous you will succeed. This double meaning title was made for the English version to replicate the double meaning of the Japanese title, Zennin Shib� Desu. Although it's literal translation is "Good People Die", it can also be alternatively read to mean something along the lines of "I want to be a good person." |

SpongeBob SquarePants has a couple of these: "Walking Small" refers to SpongeBob's incapability of walking tall, as well as Plankton's small size. "Idiot Box" revolves around SpongeBob and Patrick buying a television (sometimes called an idiot box in pejorative slang) just to give it to Squidward because they just want to play in the box, as two idiots would. "Can You Spare A Dime?" refers to Squidward's poverty, as well as Mr. Krabs actual missing dime. "Chocolate With Nuts" refers to SpongeBob and Patrick selling chocolate "with or without nuts", as well as them being the nuts themselves. "Rock Bottom" refers to being in a situation where it couldn't be any worse, such as being stuck in a deep ocean trench (itself literally called Rock Bottom). "Potato Puff" is a quadruple meaning title, referring to both the potato that Mrs. Puff replaces herself with, and her becoming a couch potato without needing to watch SpongeBob. It's also a pun on a food, "potato puffs", and a species of fish called the potato puffer. "Slimy Dancing" is about Squidward entering a dance contest. The title refers to both him being a squid (and squids are slimy), and the fact that he uses dishonest (i.e. slimy) tactics to cheat and win. "Blackened Sponge". SpongeBob gets a black eye, but it can also be a pun on SpongeBob fearing that his reputation will be "blackened", since he got the black eye in a really embarrassing incident and keeps making up stories to cover the truth. |

El Goonish Shive The "New and Old Flames" arc title seems to refer both to past and present love interests, as well as fire-based enemies. The "Sister 3" chapter "An Unkindness" was an unintentional example, although the author admits it worked out quite well. The chapter involves an interaction between Adrian Raven and his mother Pandora. The author claimed that he planned on naming the chapter after whatever you call a group of ravens. He was thrilled to end up with a title that also reflected the less-than-friendly nature of the two Ravens. |

Welcome to Night Vale: The title of "Past Time" has a triple-meaning. It refers to the ghost Lucia recounting her death in the distant past, to baseball ("America's pastime"), and to Lucia's insistence that it's "past time" to stop the strangers. "Big Sister" introduces Hadassah McDaniels, who is Hiram's big sister — both in the sense of being older, and literally being extremely large. "All Right" refers both to the the viewer's desire to believe everything is alright, and to the fact that if you listen with headphones, the audio for the episode is directed almost exclusively towards the right ear. |

The "V" in V3 is the only time the series has formatted its titles in this way. Most fans will assume it’s merely an addition to differentiate it from the Danganronpa 3 anime series, guessing that the V stands for "version", "video game", or "visual novel". In the game's final chapter, it is revealed that the entire Danganronpa saga up to this point was an in-universe TV show, with each game or anime being a different season broadcasted on live television. V3 was the fifty-third season in-universe, with the "v" being a Roman numeral for 5 (It really ought to be L3 by Roman number conventions, but that would ruin the misdirection). | |

The infamous "The Mean 6" refers to the mean clones of the mane ponies made by Chrysalis, but it can also refer to the real ponies thinking their friends have become mean out of nowhere due to both groups intertwining in various situations, resulting in a feud. The 2-part ninth season opener "The Beginning of the End" refers to Celestia and Luna announcing their retirement from the throne and making Twilight their successor, and the fact said 2-parter is the beginning of the final season. |

Sloan's 2020 single "Silence Trumps Lies": Since the band themselves have described it as being about "the importance of listening", the title can be read as "silence wins out over lies". However, with a slight change of punctuation, the title becomes an imperative sentence: "silence Trump's lies". | |

Genesis: "Snowbound" from ...And Then There Were Three.... The title refers to being snowbound (as in, trapped inside by snow) and... well, hiding a dismembered body inside a snowman, which is what the song is actually about. Their 1977 live album Seconds Out may have a double or even triple meaning. Second live album out since their formation (Genesis Live came out in early 1973), second of the "classic" five-member Genesis lineup to leave (first Peter Gabriel, then guitarist Steve Hackett), and a boxing term where the boxers' crew members are asked to leave at the end of a round, making way for the next round (possibly a reference to the band feeling the live album marked the end of an era for them). |

Kamp Koral: "Painting with Squidward" is about Squidward teaching his cabinmates how to draw, paint, and sculpt. It also references the end of the episode, where the winner of the art contest ends up being Squidward squished into a frame: a literal painting with him. "The Taste of Defeat". The plot revolve around Plankton losing his customers to Narlene and her new restaurant, but it also serves as a bit of Foreshadowing to what ultimately brings Plankton's customers back: Narlene cooks the food with her feet, horrifying the people who ate there. |

In Hong Kong, South Park was retitled as Nanfang Sijianke, or South Park's Four Slackers; it also sounds an awful lot like The Four Musketeers. The title of two-part episode "Cartoon Wars" can refer to the rivalry among South Park, The Simpsons and Family Guy, and to the protests sparked by the Danish newspaper cartoons about Muhammad. Of course, both themes are touched in the episode. The episode "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" could be referring to the scene where the fictional Jesse Jackson asks Randy Marsh to "apologize" by Literal Ass-Kissing, or it could be interpreted as an apology to the real-life Jesse Jackson for that scene and the constant use of the N-word. |

Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger (RWBY & Star Wars): The title of the third chapter is "Victory", referring to how Nihilus and the Revanchists won a battle during the Mandalorian Wars in a flashback, and how Jaune defeats Cardin during their sparring match at the end of the chapter. Chapter 17 is titled "Legends", which, aside from referencing the chapter being a Flashback Episode, is also a nod to the first half of the chapter that covers Nihilus's history in the Star Wars Legends continuity. |

Ace Attorney: The case title "Turnabout Goodbyes" from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney also has several meaning. It refers to both the fact that Manfred von Karma is saying "goodbye" to the DL-6 Incident (due to the Statute of Limitations) as well as how it refers to how Phoenix has to say goodbye to Maya at the end of the case. It could also refer to how Miles Edgeworth is saying goodbye in way to his past perfectionist self. The title of the episode "Rise from the Ashes" could be referring to the fact that Edgeworth rises up from his past, and the fact that a Phoenix is said in legend to be reborn from ashes, which is a metaphor for how Phoenix Wright comes back from a hopeless trial. It can also refer to the SL-9 Incident, a two year old closed case that is reinvestigated (metaphorically rising from its ashes), as finding the truth behind it becomes crucial to solving the current case. Also done with "Bridge to the Turnabout". Not only is it referring to the literal bridge that plays a big part in the case but it also refers to the fact that the case "bridges" all of the games plot lines and how the events are a "bridge" that leads to the end turnabout. It could also be referring to the fact that it "bridges" Mia's trial with Phoenix's giving them an overall resolution. "Farewell, My Turnabout". It refers to both how Phoenix's client is guilty yet he is forced to defend him so it's like he is saying goodbye to him having a turnabout and how Phoenix feels he does not deserve to be a lawyer anymore because he is defending a murderer. The title of Dual Destinies, has many meanings. It can refer to: Apollo & Clay, Athena & Blackquill, Phoenix & Blackquill, Phoenix & Edgeworth, Means & Courte, Tenma & Kybui, Nine Tales Vale & Tenma Town, Blackquill & Aura and Aura & Metis. If you extend the title a little bit, it can also refer to Hugh & Robin & Juniper. It could be used to refer to just Hugh & Robin too, who both initially follow two very different creeds, but ultimately end up in the same place. "The Cosmic Turnabout" both refers to the themes of space through the episode, particularly the fact the victim had just reached his dream of becoming an astronaut, but can also refer to the fact that the victim, who's Apollo's friend, has been killed, and is now in the "cosmos". This double meaning is even more blatant in the Japanese version, where the title literally translates to "The Turnabout That Became a Star". "Turnabout for Tomorrow": Prosecutor Blackquill is to be executed the following day so you're trying to find the truth behind UR-1 by then for a stay of execution. Plus finding out the truth of UR-1 will also dispel the dark age of the law, to bring light for the future. Spirit of Justice has a number of meanings. The most obvious one is the metaphorical spirit of justice that the characters are attempting to uphold. 'Spirit' can be taken literally as well though, as spirits of the departed play a vital role in the game's story. Take that a big further, and the title can also refer to the spirit of Jove Justice, which becomes a vital element in the game's finale. Furthermore, "Spirit of Justice" is also the name of the Lady Justice statue in the Department of Justice Headquarters in Washington D.C. There are three different characters that "Turnabout Time Traveler" could be referring to: Ellen Wyatt, who was made to believe she had traveled back in time; Sorin Sprocket, who has anterograde amnesia, and thus can't form any new memories past the crash that killed his sister; and Pierce Nichody, who blames Sorin for his fiancee's death and is unable to move on from it. |

Urusei Yatsura: "Urusei" is a misspelling/mispronounciation of "urusai", which usually means "loud", or "annoying", or "obnoxious" and is also used to tell people to "shut up". "Yatsura" is a pejorative way of referring to a group of people. Also, while most of the name is written in hiragana, the kanji for "star" is used for the "sei" in the title, referring to Lum, an alien being who is one of the main characters. Thus, the title can be translated as "Those Annoying Aliens", or "Those Obnoxious Aliens". | |

Dr. STONE: In an early chapter, Senku refers to soap as "the stone of life, Doctor Stone", since hygene is super-important for staving off disease. The title can also refer to Senku himself, since he's the smartest person in the "Stone World". A third meaning is added later on: though the apocalypse was caused by all humanity being turned to stone, the process has important benefits — curing the petrification can heal conditions that are beyond even modern medical science, like severed limbs or clinical braindeath. | |

Martian Successor Nadesico (Kidou Senkan Nadesico, literally "Mobile Battleship Nadesico"): "Kidou Senkan" is similar sounding to "Kidou Senshi" referencing the use of Humongous Mecha in the show. "Senkan Nadesico" (or "Nadeshiko") is a double pun that references both Uchuu Senkan Yamato, and the Japanese concept of Yamato Nadeshiko. This multi-layered, multiple reference pun is likely the reason why ADV Films released it as "Martian Successor Nadesico" in North America. | |

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has its title commonly shortened to 999. This shortened title conveys the urgency of the situation the characters have found themselves in, as "999" is one of the most commonly used emergency telephone numbers (alongside 911 and 112). The long version of the title also has a double-meaning that counts as a major spoiler: there are doors labeled with numbers 1 to 9, and every number is used at least once, but there are multiple "nine" doors encountered at the end. | |

The Japanese title of Haré+Guu, Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu, is a rather elaborate pun that can be read several different ways, due to different readings of some of the words: In the Jungle was Always Hare but then came Guu The Jungle was Always Nice, Then Came Guu The Jungle Is Always Sunny or Hungry And the most obscure, a pun on a common phrase in Japanese weather forecasts: The Jungle Is Always Clear, With A Chance of Showers The Jungle is Always Clear, With Scattered Guu |

The "Hayop Ka!" of the not-for-children Hayop Ka!: The Nimfa Dimaano Story is Filipino for "You Animal!". In addition to the film being set in a world of animals, it indicates the particularly wild and scandalous nature of the titular protagonist. | |
