Describere Gratuitum Latin hic.
Latin carries an implication of importance, classiness and mysticism. Despite being a dead language,note meaning no culture uses it as their native tongue, it retains an association with magic, religion, politics and science. It is the language of those who know secrets and have uncovered ancient mysteries, and creators use it (or something that sounds like it) for those associations.
The Latin Language is still taught and utilized for many people and it's the root of numerous living languages today, making it both accessible for creators/audiences and maintaining the connotations with magic (Stage Magicians using pseudo-Latin incantations like "hocus pocus"), religion (Latin is the official language of the Catholic Church), law and debate (e.g. legal terms such as "habeas corpus" are in Latin, argumentation tropes and logical fallacies have Latin names), schools and school-based organizations choosing a Pretentious Latin Motto, and science (the tradition of Greco-Romanism is most exemplified in the field of taxonomy). As such, many writers are fond of inserting Latin into their stories for any number of reasons. The fact that it may not really fit in or seem out of place isn't really relevant: Frankly, it just sounds cool.
This is a Sub-Trope to Gratuitous Foreign Language, where creators include foreign words (and close-enough foreign words) for a variety of reasons.note Reasons that can include making you sound like a pretentious ass. For help in parsing some of the Latin present in examples, please read the Latin Pronunciation Guide. See also Profound by Pop Song.

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica,Lat.Magical Girl Magician Madoka the terms "Magical Girl" and "Puella Magi" are used interchangeably, for good reason. PuellaLat."a young girl" also may additionally mean "a young slave" due to it being derived from Puerulus. MagiLat."Magician", or, more accurately, as it's a genitive form of the word Magus, "of the magician". can also mean derogatorily, "charlatan", which means "one who deceives". Applying this terminology, the Latin title actually averts Department of Redundancy Department: the real English title to the anime is actually Slave to the Deceiver: Magician Madoka. The Japanese title, however, averts the Latin title altogether*Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, which is elaborated in the anime. See the Main page for that description — the Japanese title offers the similar possibility of interpretation.. Still, either way, it's certainly an example of gratuitous Latin (although Latin isn't the only language this anime brings in, for obvious reasons).
The titles of the series' music are all in Latin as well, although they did screw up one title: "Nux Walpurgis" was probably meant to be "Nox Walpurgis". That one letter is the difference between "Walpurgis Night" (the name of the final and most powerful Witch) and "Walpurgis Nut" (which doesn't make any sense). However, this could possibly be a reference to Homura's witch form, Homulilly being titled "The Nutcracker Witch", as Walpurgis Night was the one witch she could never defeat, or the "nut" she couldn't "crack".

The mission leaders in The Last Hero for some reason put Rincewind in charge of coming up with a motto, which results in morituri nolumus mori: "We who are about to die don't want to."

Don Quixote:
This trope is lampshaded and defined by Cervantes, a Spanish writer in the seventeenth century. At the time, Latin and Greek were languages that must be known by government bureaucrats and any people with literacy pretenses, but certainly there were a lot of books where this trope was not justified.
In the Preface of the Author, Part I, Cervantes attacks authors that want to impress their readers with their knowledge without the appropriate research. Cervantes denounces the inclusion of Latin sentences that seem to be profound (and so impress the readers), but in reality, those Latin sentences were very common and any author of his time could find them with very little effort.
Another example is lampshaded in Part II, chapter LI. Sancho has been made governor of the "Island of Barataria". In the seventeenth century, it was expected that members of the government and the aristocracy would be well educated, and this education included Latin. Don Quixote never uses Latin in his sentences with Sancho because he is not interested in impressing him with his superior knowledge, but he expects that Sancho will learn Latin now that he is a governor:

The Dresden Files mostly has Canis Latinicus in the form of spells and Harry's butchering of the language, but occasionally, there will be a bit of real Latin. Mostly when Michael Carpenter is wielding one of the holy swords. The White Council of wizards uses Latin during formal Council meetings, which mostly serves the purpose of indicating to the reader that it's run by a bunch of very old-fashioned and hidebound people; Harry, as already mentioned, speaks it only poorly. The Canis Latinicus is justified in the text by the fact that picking a magic word to go with a spell forges a link between the two in the caster's mind, so they try to use dead languages, fake languages, or just languages that they don't actually know so that they won't use them in normal life (which could lead to an accidental discharge). Harry uses dog-Latin and some dog-Spanish; other wizards are shown using dog-Sumerian, dog-Egyptian, and dog-Japanese.

Many of the incantations and exorcisms in Supernatural are in Latin, due mainly to Latin being the language of magic and religion.

Discworld often has Latin sprinkled about, usually in situations where people are trying to sound pretentious. Examples include the City Watch's motto (Fabricati Diem, PvncLat. which is supposed to mean "Make My Day, Punk", but is actually just gibberish) to a joke played by the Unseen University's wizards on a foreign diplomat by awarding him an honorary doctorate in "Adamus cum Flabello Dulci"Lat.Sweet Fanny Adams.
Bugarup U's motto "Nullus Anxietas" isn't even trying. Also, written over the secret students' entrance is "Nulli Sheilae Sanguinae"Lat.No Bloody Shelias.
The mission leaders in The Last Hero for some reason put Rincewind in charge of coming up with a motto, which results in morituri nolumus mori: "We who are about to die don't want to." Vetinari decides to keep it, reasoning it's actually a fitting description of a dangerous mission to stop an Earth-Shattering Kaboom.
At Moist's trial in Making Money, Vetinari mentions several Latatian law maxims, including volenti non fit injuria and quia ego sum dico. The first is a perfectly recognizable legal doctrine, the second is a more specific doctrine only really aplicable to Vetinari.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2:
Dracul and a Brotherhood of Light paladin chanted a prayer in Latin during the tutorial, creating a massive shockwave that wiped out both the Brotherhood and Castlevania.
The Revelations DLC introduces the Forbidden Wing, which was where Dracul lost his mind after he returned from killing the Forgotten One in the first game. The walls are full of Latin and Romanian writings in blood.

In the Ace Combat series:
The final mission of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies features the song Megalith-Agnus Dei as the soundtrack for destroying the Megalith superweapon*Which appears to simply be a heavily-fortified ICBM base.. The track takes lyrics from three texts from funeral Masses: the sequence "Dies Irae" ("Rex tremendae majestatis...") the form of "Agnus Dei" formerly sung in funerals ("Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem") and the communion verse "Lux Aeterna" ("Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es")
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War's final mission theme, fittingly named The Unsung War, is also in Latin. This time the lyrics are a vulgate translation of the Razgriz poem that recurrently appears through the game, with a lot of repetitions.
The Ominous Latin Chanting in Release which plays during the final mission of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon contains lyrics taken directly from the Latin hymn, Dies Irae.

Marathon:
In the first game, the level "Welcome to the Revolution" has a secret terminal message with Tycho speaking to Durandal in Latin.
In the second game, Durandal has some fun with this: after killing his greatest enemy, he carves the following epitaph into a moon: "Fatum Iustum Stultorum" ("The Just Fate of Fools"; in other words, "These idiots got what was coming to them.")
Both the main games and the many fan-made scenarios have several levels with gratuitous Latin names; in addition to the aforementioned "Fatum Iustum Stultorum", there's "Ingue Ferroque" (a slight misspelling of "Igni Ferroque" or "Igne Ferroque"), "Ex Cathedra", "Ne Cede Malis", "Ex Justicia Mortis", etc.
These games have so much of this trope that we've given the series its own page. And Game Mods for the series, following Bungie's example, have enough Latin to have gotten their own page.

Virtue's Last Reward has a number of examples:
Phi's brooch says Elapsam semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere (Not even Jupiter can reclaim a lost opportunity.)
Also spoken by Phi: "Acta est fabula, plaudite!" (The play has ended, applaud!)
On the tombstone in the garden: Tu fui, ego eris. (What you are, I was; what I am, you will be.) An English variation is also found in the security room's computer: "I was you; you will be me."
Memento mori (Remember death) is part of the message on the wall of the Floor B warehouse.
The journal found in the Laboratory is entirely written in Latin. Most of the characters can't read it, but Phi is able to translate one important passage.

Terra Ignota: Latin is the official language of the Masonic Empire, per the ancient and mythical aura they try to project of themselves. While everyone in the setting is some level of polylingual, only Latin is presented without Translation Convention, meaning there are sometimes entire dialogues and occasionally paragraphs written entirely in Latin (with translations tacked on in parentheses). The reason it's written this way is complicated and has to do with the Framing Device and it being considered impolite for non-Masons to know Latin. Masonic Latin is said to have been simplified and made more regular to make it easier to speak, while conversely J.E.D.D. Mason chooses to speak it in its full, antiquated form — though the only way you'd tell either of these things is if you're as fluent in Latin as the author.

Top Secret!: While Nick Rivers is in prison, he's taken out of his cell and led to an execution room by a priest speaking common Latin phrases such as "corpus delicti" and "quid pro quo".

Gratuitous Latin is in widespread usage in The Mortal Instruments. Partly justified in that Idris is located in Western Europe and has been around since the Middle Ages, when Latin was still the common language of the educated class in that region. Sometimes abused by Shadowhunters as part of their smug routine. Ominous Latin Chanting is also popular.

In The Space Trilogy of C. S. Lewis, the character of Merlin speaks only in Latin. Because Lewis was a brilliant Latinist, it's all correct.

In Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, Lacrimosa, means "weeping" or "tearful" in Latin and is a discrete part in a requiem, and is derived from the title of The Virgin Mary, "Our Lady of Sorrows".

Disney Ducks Comic Universe:
In Carl Barks' classic "The Golden Helmet", Donald Duck runs afowl of a dubious lawyer who goes around spouting mock Latin phrases like "Flickus flackus fumlidium" (allegedly meaning "Can you prove that [my client] isn't who he claims to be?") At the end of the story Huey declares that they have had enough nonsense, to which Dewey answers with the obvious affirmative "Yeppus yappus youbettus!"
Later Don Rosa wrote a sequel, "The Lost Charts of Columbus", where Donald finally got the chance to tell the lawyer and his client "Aqua concus dipporum" ("Go soak your head").

The Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook Libris Mortis is a double subversion: it looks fine to the layman. But the community calls it the "Book of Bad Latin" because they assume it's supposed to mean Book of the Dead (which should be Liber Mortis). But it's not: the book's introduction makes it clear that it's intended to mean From the Books of the Dead, so the ablative plural "libris" is actually not wrong, making the title a fine Latin phrase meaning "(from) the books of death". ("From the books of the dead" would be Libris Mortuorum.)

Progressbar 95: You can find a Latin directory with a Codex file in ProgressDOS, which is all in Latin as you'd expect. To access it, you need to type in a code which can be found in a readme.txt file, which has the "lorem ipsum" text and the code written in Latin numbers (for example, Duo Unus Septem). The game gives you "MMMMM punctorum" for figuring it out.

Miles Hendon pulls something similar on a prison guard in The Prince and the Pauper to help King Edward VI (at the time believed to be a pauper boy named Tom Canty; the two looked exactly the same) escape from entering a common jail. The guard had just bought a pig from a poor woman for eightpence, when it was really valued at three shillings and eightpence, with the threat of arrest if she did not sell (she had said under oath in the courtroom that it was worth eightpence to avoid having the prince hang for its theft, which he did not commit), and Hendon says that what the officer did was a capital crime legally called "Non compos mentis lex talionis sic transit gloria mundi." Translated into English "Not of sound mind, law of retaliation, thus passes worldly glory." He goes on to explain that the guard's actions were considered as "constructive barratry What it meansBarratry is bringing lawsuits repeatedly to make a profit or, more frequently, to harass someone misprision of treasonWhat it meansBasically, knowing that someone’s plotting or committing treason, but not reporting it to the authorities malfeasance in officeWhat it meansCommitting an unlawful act in an official capacity, and it affecting official duties; since the guard basically blackmailed the woman, this one definitely applies here, ad hominem expurgatis in statu quo.Translated"Purging/cleansing to the man in the state in which things are"

In the background of Sword of the Stars, Latin has become one of humanity's main languages. This is mostly due to the Catholic Church becoming the dominant religion on Earth and its colonies (but not the only one). In The Deacon's Tale novel (which features a lot of gratuitous Latin and few translations), the Pope has enough power to threaten the Director of SolForce, the most powerful man in human space. The protagonist of the novel is a Chinese man who is in charge of one of SolForce's intelligence branches but who is secretly a Catholic deacon (it's kinda frowned upon to serve two masters).

In Gargoyles, all the mortal spells were in Latin. Because anything said in Latin sounds profound and Ominous. Word of God says that the book containing most of those spells was written by a magus working for Emperor Augustus; naturally, Latin was his first language.*Word of God also adds that any language can be used for magic, provided the spell is composed by a magus and pronounced correctly. Indeed, in the show some are in Hebrew and at least one is cast in English.

Final Fantasy XV, God, just, Final Fantasy XV. If there was ever an example of using Latin just for Latin's sake, this game provides it (it even manages to provide some Aerith and Bob moments thanks to characters named "Cindy" or "Dave" in the first chapter alone contrasted against the backdrop of the fancy Latin names).
The protagonist, Noctis Lucis Caelum, "Sky of the Night Light"
His father, King Regis Lucis Caelum, "Sky of the King's Light". That's right, the king's name is "King".
His buddy, Ignis Scientia, "Fire Knowledge".
His other buddy, Gladiolus Amicitia, "Little Sword Friendship". What kind of parent names their son "Little sword"?
His third buddy, Prompto Argentum "Silver for the quick man", an obvious attempt at translating "quicksilver".
His fiancée, Lunafreya, "Moon Lady", the last word being Gratuitous Old Norse. (In Japanese, her name is Lunafrena, which roughly means 'bridles of the moon', or more poetically, 'guides of the moon'.) Lunafreya's brother (and no friend of Noctis') is called Ravus Nox Fleuret, 'Tawny Night Fencing Foil' (although 'fleuret' is French).
Noctis's mentor, Cor Leonis "Lion's heart", is the first one to be grammatically correct.
XV doesn't stop at personal names. The heroes' country is named Lucis ('light'), and Lunafreya's home is called Tenebrae ('darkness'). The bad guy nation and the Precursors, on the other hand, are both Norse: Niflheim and Solheim (which is a surname meaning 'home of the sun').

In Julius Caesar, when the title character has been stabbed to death by the conspirators, his dying words are: "Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!" This particular line has been quoted and paraphrased by innumerable authors, even though most historians from Suetonius believe that if the historical Julius Caesar said anything at this point, he would have spoken it in Greek.

Star Trek: The Original Series: The title of the famous episode "Arena" literally means "sand" or "powder" in Latin, and gained its present meaning because of the sand sprinkled on the floor before a gladiator fight to give them traction. But apparently the title wasn't intended to be taken this way, even though it works, and just referred to... an arena.

In The Elder Scrolls, the Imperials (Cyrodiil's native race of Men) are heavily influenced by Ancient Rome. Most have Latin-sounding names and Latin sounding words (real or otherwise) permeate through their culture. Early in the series, the Imperials had two distinct sub-cultures: the Colovians (hearty highland folk) and the Nibenese (cosmopolitan heartlanders), with this trope only applying to the Colovians. By the time of Oblivion, this separation was almost entirely dropped, with the Imperials drawing heavily from ancient Rome.

The finale of the first season of Yellowjackets is titled "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi," which translates as "Thus passes worldly glory," or alternatively, "Thus Passes the Glory of the World." Wikipedia explains that the phrase was once used in Papal coronation ceremonies and is intended to serve as a reminder of the transitory nature of life and early honors. The season finale has not yet aired, but this doesn't sound good for the Yellowjackets.

In the Final Fantasy series:
Final Fantasy VII: "One-Winged Angel", Sephiroth's theme lyrics are mostly lifted from Carmina Burana, which is a good source of this sort of thing:
The opening theme of Final Fantasy VIII, "Liberi Fatali" ("Fated Children," though more properly it should be "Liberi Fatales"). Additionally, all of the paintings in the art gallery in Ultimecia's castle have Latin titles which are part of a minor sidequest.
Dissidia Final Fantasy uses the trope multiple times. Dissidia itself is derived from the Latin word for discord. The prequel is called Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy, where in 012 is officially pronounced "Duodecim", which is Latin for twelve. The prequel's final secret character, Feral Chaos has Latin names for his HP attacks, such as Deus Iratus*Angered God, Ventus Irae*Wind of Wrath, and Lux Magnus*Great Light, should be "Lux Magna," as "lux" is feminine. This also applies to his EX Burst: Regnum Dei*Kingdom of God and its followup: Nex Ultimus*Final Slaughter, should be "Nex Ultima," as "nex" is feminine.
Final Fantasy XIII: Ragnarok de Dies Irae
Final Fantasy XV, God, just, Final Fantasy XV. If there was ever an example of using Latin just for Latin's sake, this game provides it (it even manages to provide some Aerith and Bob moments thanks to characters named "Cindy" or "Dave" in the first chapter alone contrasted against the backdrop of the fancy Latin names).
The protagonist, Noctis Lucis Caelum, "Sky of the Night Light"
His father, King Regis Lucis Caelum, "Sky of the King's Light". That's right, the king's name is "King".
His buddy, Ignis Scientia, "Fire Knowledge".
His other buddy, Gladiolus Amicitia, "Little Sword Friendship". What kind of parent names their son "Little sword"?
His third buddy, Prompto Argentum "Silver for the quick man", an obvious attempt at translating "quicksilver".
His fiancée, Lunafreya, "Moon Lady", the last word being Gratuitous Old Norse. (In Japanese, her name is Lunafrena, which roughly means 'bridles of the moon', or more poetically, 'guides of the moon'.) Lunafreya's brother (and no friend of Noctis') is called Ravus Nox Fleuret, 'Tawny Night Fencing Foil' (although 'fleuret' is French).
Noctis's mentor, Cor Leonis "Lion's heart", is the first one to be grammatically correct.
XV doesn't stop at personal names. The heroes' country is named Lucis ('light'), and Lunafreya's home is called Tenebrae ('darkness'). The bad guy nation and the Precursors, on the other hand, are both Norse: Niflheim and Solheim (which is a surname meaning 'home of the sun').

The Legend of Total Drama Island has two notable examples:
The story quotes several verses from the Latin poem "Dies Irae", in both Latin and English, when Chris plays the "Dies Irae" section of Verdi's Requiem "at cabin-shaking volume" for the first wakeup call.
Ezekiel sings Andrew Lloyd Webber's setting of the "Pie Jesu" (also a standard part of a requiem) when a certain contestant leaves the island, and his team later makes it a regular part of the elimination ceremony.

The Hunger Games has a Latin motif for the central Capitol of Panem. All the characters associated with the main city have Latin first names, usually appropriate to their role, including Coriolanus Snow and Seneca Crane. "Panem" itself is explicitly from the motto "Panem et Circenses", "Bread and Circuses", the central theme of the trilogy.

The 2003 MTV Movie Awards' parody of The Matrix Reloaded has the Architect (Will Ferrell) constantly saying "ergo" ("therefore"), along with "concordantly" and "vis-á-vis" (French for "face-to-face"), as he speaks to Neo, noting at one point "You know what? I have no idea what the hell I am saying. I just thought it would make me sound cool."

"The Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses" Damien Sandow uses an elbow drop called the Cubito Aequet. WWE claims that it means "Elbow of disdain." The problem is that it actually translates to "Elbow of distain," meaning to "sully" or "discolor," which makes no sense in this context. The correct version would be Cubito Fastidia.

Fangame Genius: The Transgression has the Lemurians, who formed around the time of Rome and their terminology is derived from it. As with most modern people, they often aren't very good at speaking it...most of the time. In the case of PLPKBs (Proper Latin Plural Knowing Bastards), this means they are very old or obsessive enough to teach themselves the language, which, when dealing with a Mad Scientist, should probably set off danger sirens in the minds of their opponents.

Many of the magic spells used on Buffy the Vampire Slayer happen to be in Latin. Evidently one of the more challenging things for Alyson Hannigan was memorizing all of the Latin that the writers kept flinging at her. In the final season, Willow stops halfway through a spell and shouts "Screw it! I suck at Latin, OK?! and proceeds to make the spell work in English by pure force of will. Andrew also displays a knowledge of Latin several times in the show and comics.

Subverted in F.A.T.A.L., which was kind enough to provide a translation for its pretentious Latin. Usually, this was some kind of crude sexual doggerel. The Latin is also often wrong. On the other hand, at least one part seems to be quoting (or paraphrasing) the crude sexual doggerel of Catullus (a real Roman poet) - see Catullus 16 on Wikipedia for info on that (NSFW text there though).

Arknights: The nation of Laterano is heavily associated with Latin, being the Vatican's Fantasy Counterpart Culture.
One of Exusiai's skill activation quotes in the Japaanese voiceover is "Deo volente!"note God willing!
Fiammetta's skill names in the English localization are all in Latin.note "Provocate" - "You Must Overcome", "Paenitete" - "You Must Repent", and "Reponite" - "You Must Repay".
In "Guide Ahead", Laterano street names are in Latin, and dead Laterano citizens are interred at the Ecclesia Requietumnote Church of Requiem. Several characters are also seen speaking Latin, implying that the official Laterano language is Latin or a variant of it. It even extends to the names of all the generic enemies fought in the event.
When facing off against Andoain at the end of the event, Fiammetta exclaims "Pedicabo ego te et irrumabo!"note From Catullus 16 and roughly translates to "I will sodomize and face-fuck you"
The trend continues with "Hortus de Escapismo"note Garden of Escapism. The event takes place in the Sanctinamilum Ambrosiinote Ambrose Monastery and two of its debut operators are Executor the Ex Foederenote from the covenant and Spurianote feminine singular of spurio i.e. "illegitimate" or "false".

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
The spells and attack names that aren't in Japanese are generally in Latin, sometimes Greek (and once or twice Sanskrit). As an example, the incantation for one of Negi's favorite attack spells:
The English translation of the manga uses the Latin subtitle "Magister Negi Magi," with magister magi having a rather convenient double meaning as either "magic teacher" or "master of magic" — both of which describe him quite well.(Amusingly, it is also exactly the double meaning implicit in the original Japanese word "Sensei".)

Dissidia Final Fantasy uses the trope multiple times. Dissidia itself is derived from the Latin word for discord. The prequel is called Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy, where in 012 is officially pronounced "Duodecim", which is Latin for twelve. The prequel's final secret character, Feral Chaos has Latin names for his HP attacks, such as Deus Iratus*Angered God, Ventus Irae*Wind of Wrath, and Lux Magnus*Great Light, should be "Lux Magna," as "lux" is feminine. This also applies to his EX Burst: Regnum Dei*Kingdom of God and its followup: Nex Ultimus*Final Slaughter, should be "Nex Ultima," as "nex" is feminine.

The Transformers (Marvel): Optimus Prime was the only character of the first few years to have a Latin name - which made him stick out, being the leader and all. According to Bob Budiansky, Optimus was also one of the only characters he didn't name. Apparently, Hasbro was fond of the convention, and would often request "Optimus-style" names, which often ventured into Canis Latinicus territory (Bruticus, Fortress Maximus, Ultra Magnus...). It still seems to be a popular way to make a character pop out; about half the Thirteen have Latin-sounding names.

Event Horizon: The captain of the Event Horizon signs off his logs with Latin phrases. We learn this after we learn that the only transmission from the ship since it reappears appears to be garbled, but with "save me" spoken in Latin amid the static, and the reasonable assumption is that the captain spoke this as well. He did. However, the static distorts the message, so we only later learn that he's actually saying "Save yourself from Hell."

Kingdom Hearts series has a surprising lack of use of Gratuitous Latin, especially in contrast to its creator's frequent use for its sister series. The series mainly employs Gratuitous Italian, which is significantly less pretentious (though to untrained eyes both languages look alike). Nevertheless, this trope is still present: the protagonists of Birth By Sleep, for example, are named Ventus ("Wind"), Terra ("Earth", though this word has a feminine gender), and Aqua ("Water"), all of whom are named to fit the Theme Naming of Sora ("Sky"), Riku ("Land"), and Kairi ("kai" being an Alternate Character Reading of æµ· "sea"), respectively, which are in Japanese. Plus Vanitas ("Emptiness"note This naming has a clever use of wordplay in Japanese and Latin. In Japanese, "Sora" can both mean "Sky" and "Vacuum", which very much fits Vanitas as he's basically a black-haired Sora. Plus, Vanitas sounds similar to Ventus, whom he was created from.).
There's also the recurring special attack Ars Arcanum, which simply means (loosely) "Secret Technique". In the Japanese version, it's known as "Last Arcanum" (lit. Last Secret), which combines this trope with Gratuitous English.
Also from Birth By Sleep is Ars Solum (lit. "Solo Technique"; known as "Solo Arcanum"note Which literally means "Solo Secret". in the Japanese version), a command that only Terra can use.
Kingdom Hearts III has a world named Scala ad Caelum (literally "stairway to heaven"), but also a game-within-a-game named Verum Rexnote Grammar note: it should be grammatically Verus Rex; "verum" is neuter while "rex" is masculine and another world named "Quadratum" (literally "Square" in Latin).

Octopath Traveler: The hidden Sorcerer job has a three-hit, Ao E ability for every element, all named in Latin. Unfortunately, the English dub pronunciations of the Sorcerer's spells are incorrect due to a mispronunciation of the infinitive. Take Ignis Ardere, which is pronounced by the actors as "ah-dare", when the -re is a syllable of its own, meaning it should be "ah-dare-ay".

Justified (and Truth in Television) in that the parish churches are naturally full of ancient monuments and memorials; the Anglican and Roman Catholic clergy are expected to know Latin (and Gratuitous Greek) as a matter of course; many of the major characters, including the Duke of Taunton, Professor the Baroness Lacy, HH the Nawab of Hubli, and Sir Thomas Douty, all went through the public schools and Oxbridge; and the archaeologists, epigraphers, and historians on the local Big Dig team, digging up medieval remains and Roman villas in the countryside, have to have Latin at their fingertips as a job prerequisite. Because Smart People Know Latin.

Vampire: The Requiem has a lot of terminology either directly imported from, or inspired by Latin, presumably related to the fact that vampire society is static, at best. Although justified, it is still amusing that Ancilla, a word used to refer to "middle-aged" vampires, translates quite readily as "slave woman."
Fangame Genius: The Transgression has the Lemurians, who formed around the time of Rome and their terminology is derived from it. As with most modern people, they often aren't very good at speaking it...most of the time. In the case of PLPKBs (Proper Latin Plural Knowing Bastards), this means they are very old or obsessive enough to teach themselves the language, which, when dealing with a Mad Scientist, should probably set off danger sirens in the minds of their opponents.
