In real life, zero is a pretty undesirable number (unless you have zero bad things, which is good). If you have zero money on you, you can't buy anything. If you multiply by zero, you get nothing. If you Divide by Zero, you create a universe-breaking black hole.note Unless you're God, or a Memetic Badass like Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Kenshiro, or Shaggy Rogers. If your friends call you a zero, your friends are jerks. However... if a character in a story is named "Zero", or has "zero" as part of their name, then that character has at least one unique attribute that makes them significantly stand out from everyone else. Often, 'Zero' may simply be used for its convenient Xtreme Kool Letterz. However, there is sometimes justification in that the "zero" model of something may be the prototype — thus, if The Ace is number one, the Phlebotinum Rebel is number zero. The "zero" might be the Super Prototype, Flawed Prototype...or Psycho Prototype. The "zeroth" example of something thus makes a nice candidate for a Sixth Ranger. It may follow the format of a "top ten list," where number one is the best...therefore Zero must be even better. This may also be used in a Tarot Motifs context. As a side note, the name "Cypher" or "Cipher" has the meaning "zero", but is rarely a good or lucky name, for various reasons (for the French-language version, see Le Chiffre). As well, "Rei" means "zero" in Japanese, and (spelled a different way) is also a common name there; thus, it is sometimes used in this sense. Zero may be one of those Names to Run Away from Really Fast. Only tangentially related to The Zeroth Law of Trope Examples. May be good at using the Zeroth Law Rebellion. See also You Are Number 6. Not to be confused with Zorro, despite the spelling (and many other) similarities. The name comes from a Schoolhouse Rock! segment about the number zero. |

Zeromaru, the Veedramon from Digimon V-Tamer 01. "Maru" can mean "zero"; thus the two zeroes in his name, combined with the "ichi" (meaning "one") in his partner Taichi's name, lead to their catchphrase "Our combination is 100 percent!" Furthermore, after first explaining this catchphrase, Lord HolyAngemon notes that zero and one are the basis for binary code and, thus, the Digital World. |

A example from a villain; in Bleach, Yammy reveals that the ranks of the espada go from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10 as previously thought, when he proceeds to grow in immense strength and size as he loses the 1 from his 10 tattoo. (This won't help him, of course, as he is pitted against Kuchiki Byakuya and Zaraki Kenpachi, two of the most badass shinigami.) Bleach also offers us the nihilistic villain Ulqiorra Cifer, who actually seems to work most closely with Yammy. There's also the Cero, a powerful class of energy blast. All the characters who can use itnote (basically all the Menos, Arrancar, and Visored we've met) have some connection to Hollows, so the name is fitting. Another example from the Turn Back The Pendulum Arc: According to Kyoraku, aside from Gotei 13, there is Squad Zero, charged with protecting the Royal Family. This squad is special as its members are retired captains. |

In Ikemen Revolution, one of the characters is named Zero. He doesn't like his name because he thinks it means nothing, but the female main character — who has been saved by him multiple times over and knows that he's an incredibly kind man who devotes himself to protecting others — argues that his name actually stands for limitless possibilities because zero is where all things start from and no thing would be able to exist without it. It's later revealed that he was named Zero because he's an Artificial Human who was called that by his creators who viewed him as nothing more than a tool for their magical research. When he learns about his true nature, he chooses to defy it and embrace the alternative meaning the MC gave to his name instead. | |

Change 123. Motoko, the main character, while normally a rather shy girl, has three distinct personalities, whose names start with 1, 2 and 3 (HiFuMi) and are able to use first class fighting skills. And then there is the (hopefully) last personality, who calls herself Zero, who has all the abilities of the HiFuMis (thus making her most likely the strongest fighter in the whole world), and the urge to kill everyone she sees. | |

There are agents in the James Bond books and films whose numbers start with "00" — indicating their "license to kill". In Casino Royale (2006), it's revealed that to become a Double-0, you need two kills on your record; it's possible the "00" is meant to represent those kills. Inverted with the villain of Casino Royale (2006), Le Chiffre. | |

In the fourth episode of Umineko: When They Cry when Kanon grabs the bill-hooked cleaver on the wall and begins to talk (yell) to Kinzo and Beatrice (both of which aren't really there...we think) he says that he's "the Zero on (their) roulette." Jokingly enough, his resemblance to Lelouch in his introduction made this much less serious than it should have been. He then gets stabbed in the chest. | |

Comic books numbered "zero" are very common. It's a very old idea, dating back to the days of underground comics, and probably reached its pinnacle in Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, where every comic book from DC at the time got an issue #0. Marvel eventually outdid them by having every comic in their lineup have a #-1 (that's negative one) issue. | |

Kirby Antagonistic video game example: the Eldritch Abomination True Final Boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3, the core of all Dark Matter, is called Zero. It subsequently reincarnates as 02 (pronounced "Zero Two") in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Dark Nebula from Kirby: Squeak Squad was called Dark Zero in Japan. It's said to be made of Dark Matter, but any further connection to Zero and 02 is unknown. The trend continues with Void Termina/Nil Ende from Kirby Star Allies. When its core is faced during Soul Melter EX in the 4.0 update, it drops the "Termina/Ende" part of the name. |

The ARC-V manga takes this one step further with Reiji's deck being completely themed around zero, mostly by reducing opposing monsters' DEF to 0, and has many cards that follow this naming scheme. Then there's his ultimate card, "GO-D/D/D God Zero King, Zero God Reiji"note "Go! - D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage" in the TCG, a monster with 0 ATK and DEF, a Pendulum Scale of 0, and various effects to reduce the opponents' field, hand, Graveyard, and even Life Points to 0. | |

The first Gundam to appear in Gundam 00 is the 0 Gundam. The second season brings us the 00 Gundam itself, possessing the 0 Gundam's GN Drive. The titular Gundam also have a catalyst unit, the 0-Raiser. If the 00 Gundam and 0-Raiser combine, they'll form the 00 Raiser, a mecha whose abilities are never seen before with any of the Gundams that appeared before it. The full designation of the 00 Gundam is GN-0000 00 Gundam. And of course, it gets crazier when GNT-0000 00 Qan(T) comes up... |

Rei Ayanami, pilot of EVA unit 00 in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Her given name can mean "zero" when written in kanji. Aside from the connection to her EVA, this may also be connected to her development as a representation of Hideaki Anno's unconscious. | |

Final Fantasy XIV introduces a voidsent named Zero in patch 6.2. She actually declines to give her real name, considering it irrelevant. Y'shtola dubs her 'Zero,' which the voidsent thinks appropriately means 'nothing,' but Y'shtola's real meaning was that it signifies a beginning. The voidsent doesn't really care either way, so "Zero" it is. This is eventually used to convince Zero to help the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, since she accepted the name (tersely or otherwise), so Zero owes them a debt, and Zero hates owing people a debt. | |

Sifr Fran from My-Otome 0~S.ifr~ OVA, has the double whammy of a meaningful name and prequel name. (Note that the first trailers had the title rendered as "Mai-Otome Sifl" before they got around to fixing it. "Sifr" means "zero" in Arabic, and is the origin of words for "cipher" and "digit" in some languages.) | |

Played for laughs in a Popeye episode. Popeye parodies the masked hero Zorro, but instead calls himself Zero and draws the number instead of the letter Z with his sword (thus the Mark of Zero). Also done as a subversion in a Rocky and Bullwinkle story arc, about a masked antagonist who calls himself Zero and defaces all the buildings in a sleepy town with zeroes. | |

Awfully subverted in one of the Mazinger Z spin-offs. Mazinger Zero is what Mazinger-Z may potentially become: an Eldritch Abomination. It happened in the spin-off, after Kouji crossed the Despair Event Horizon. He got in Mazinger-Z and fought like a relentless, raging The Berserker, fueling Mazinger's consciousness with a stream of negative emotions -rage, grief, despair, bitterness, pain-, until Mazinger-Z awoke, turned into a demon. The results were...not pretty. | |

Major Zero from the Metal Gear games — he's your commander in the third game, and was the original leader of the Patriots, making him the closest thing the series has to an overall Big Bad. He also uses the alias Cipher when he recruits Zadornov and Paz to spy on Big Boss, who by this time had left the Patriots, in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. However, it is revealed in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain that he became The Atoner when he realised how wrong his plans for peace and order have gone. It helps that he is betrayed by his subordinate Skull Face. So in the end, Zero is not really the overall Big Bad of the series, just another misguided Well-Intentioned Extremist who ultimately tried to and even somewhat succeeded in fixing his mistakes. | |

In the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues, one of the Mad Scientists you meet is Dr. 0, who is mistakenly called Dr. O by his compatriots. You can help him settle this by telling him to use a slashed zero. With the Math Wrath perk, you can also convince him that zero is an awesome number due to its ability to reduce anything it multiplies by into zero, which leads him to declare himself "Destroyer of Numbers". | |

DC's New 52 arc Forever Evil (2013) uses this trope as part of their reimagining of the origin of Bizarro. A global power failure brought on by the Crime Syndicate forced Lex Luthor to prematurely end an experiment of his to create a clone comprised of human and Kryptonian DNA, labeled Subject B-Zero. Luthor referred to B-Zero as 'creature' for most of the arc, but, in time, grew to care for him. | |

In Comics' Greatest World, there's a superhero that literally is called "Hero Zero". In this comic a young boy named David MacRae comes across a space crystal which latches on to his chest. The crystal allowed David to turn into a hero from space known as Hero Zero. As the website ComicVine describes him, he's a cross between Iron Man and Ultraman, since his power suit is similar to the former but he can grow his size and fight against giant monsters as the latter. Even he has a crossover issue in he fights against Godzilla noneless. | |

The patient zero identified in the AIDS epidemic was Gaetan Dugas, a French-Canadian flight attendant whose sexual history connected him to many early AIDS patients. Dugas's identity was made public in Randy Shilts's chronicle of the epidemic And the Band Played On but the author of the study that identified Dugas later repudiated the methodology behind it and the way Shilts reported it. Additionally a man died in 1969 of complications of AIDS, disproving Dugas as the disease's initiating vector. | |

In The Venture Brothers, a character named "Zero" arises, who serves not only as the Big Bad of the episode, but he turns out to be Scott Hall/Number 1, a henchman from a previous episode. Thus, while he may not be a hero, he survives not only being a henchman in a superhero/villain world, whose death is portented and lampshaded, but FIGHTING BROCK SAMPSON, which counts as a superpower in its own right. Then he DIES in his next appearance because he can't get over getting his ass kicked by BROCK FREAKING SAMPSON. One quick arm break and neck snap and he's back to being just another dead henchman. | |

Gundam Wing has Wing Gundam Zero, the Mid-Season Upgrade slash Super Prototype; it also bears the unit code XXXG-00W0. It and the Epyon have the so-called ZERO System (Short for Zoning and Emotional Range Omitted), which enhances the pilot's abilities tenfold at the price of making him psychotic. The pilot of Wing Zero, Heero Yuy, is also an example, being the "zero" in the numerical theme naming. SD Gundam Force has its expy named Zero, the Winged Knight of Lacroa. The first Gundam to appear in Gundam 00 is the 0 Gundam. The second season brings us the 00 Gundam itself, possessing the 0 Gundam's GN Drive. The titular Gundam also have a catalyst unit, the 0-Raiser. If the 00 Gundam and 0-Raiser combine, they'll form the 00 Raiser, a mecha whose abilities are never seen before with any of the Gundams that appeared before it. The full designation of the 00 Gundam is GN-0000 00 Gundam. And of course, it gets crazier when GNT-0000 00 Qan(T) comes up... The Unicorn Gundam's official designation is RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. |

Kamen Rider Zero-One. The name is in part a reference to binary code, as the series revolves around robotics and artificial intelligence. |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: The Big Bad Leo Akaba's given name can be translated as "Zero King". It doubles as Family Theme Naming as his son's given name, Reiji, can be translated as "Zero Child". It goes further than with The Reveal: it turns out the eponymous Big Good of the series is named Ray which in Japanese is written just like "Zero"; in fact the plan to bring her back to life is called Revival Zero. The ARC-V manga takes this one step further with Reiji's deck being completely themed around zero, mostly by reducing opposing monsters' DEF to 0, and has many cards that follow this naming scheme. Then there's his ultimate card, "GO-D/D/D God Zero King, Zero God Reiji"note "Go! - D/D/D Divine Zero King Rage" in the TCG, a monster with 0 ATK and DEF, a Pendulum Scale of 0, and various effects to reduce the opponents' field, hand, Graveyard, and even Life Points to 0. |

The Familiar of Zero: Louise, the titular Zero is a Double Subversion. Her nickname comes from her apparently non-existent magical prowess, and nothing about her implies any level of other distinction... until it turns out that her inability to cast any normal spell properly comes from her alignment with the forgotten branch of "void magic" — which, needless to say, includes some insanely powerful combat spells. Some joke her nickname actually comes from her bust size. Don't tease her about this. Saito's Gunship Rescue moment with a World War II Zero aircraft. |

In The King of Fighters, there are two bosses who go by the name Zero. The Zero you fight in 2000 is a traitorous clone who tries using a Kill Sat to take over NESTS. He gets blasted with his own satellite by Kula and is ultimately killed by Whip, but succeeds in nuking Southtown (although Kula destroys the Zero Cannon before it can be used to cause any more damage). You fight the real Zero in 2001. Turns out he's actually an old man who prefers a fair fight. So he calls upon 3 strikers - a boss from a previous game, a Ninja, and a black mountain lion-to assist him in fighting you because he's a sub-boss. He dies in the end too. Both are capable of producing black holes. | |

Black Zero is an alternate, evil version of Superboy who kicked his super ass all around the court when they met. (Not to be confused with the later "evil alternate Superboy" Superboy-Prime.) And who took his codename from the Kryptonian suicidal cult/terrorist group who started a chain reaction in Krypton's core that, a few thousand years later, would make it blow up. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Colony 0, while nominally a Kevesi colony, does not directly participate in the Forever War against Agnian colonies. Rather, under the direction of Consul F, its soldiers work behind the scenes as a black ops unit on behalf of Moebius, to perpetuate the war and frustrate attempts by either side to gain any meaningful advantage over one another. Moreover, unlike the other 'official' colonies, the soldiers of Colony 0 don't operate from a dedicated Ferronis, but pilot Ferrons with dedicated Flame Clocks that synchronise with their own life force, enabling them to increase their power output at the cost of their own flames. Between this and their Ferrons' cloaking technology, they're suited to carry out assassination and espionage tasks while remaining hidden from the war's direct participants. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Big Bad of the final season, Darkness, uses a deck of darkness. His two key cards are Zero and Infinity. A more generic example of the trope is that any high-Level monster with 0 ATK will undoubtedly be far more destructive than the powerhouse monsters. The Big Bad of the third season, Yubel being the most obvious example, as they and their two evolutions have all 0 ATK and DEF, a hard to destroy and "reflect" damage on the opponent. |

One Piece: Within the organization of bounty hunters known as Baroque Works, male members use numbers as their codenames, and the lower the number, the stronger the agent in question is. The organization's leader is Crocodile, a.k.a. "Mr. 0", and he is the most dangerous antagonist of the Baroque Works saga. Bartholomew "Tyrant" Kuma is a cyborg labelled as PX-0, and he serves as the prototype and likeness for the robotic Pacifistas. A less villainous example is Vinsmoke Reiju (Rei meaning zero in Japanese), the eldest of Vinsmoke Judge's five children. The quintuplets — with the exception of Sanji (san meaning three) — are Tyke Bombs who were genetically modified before birth to become Super Soldiers, with Ichiji (ichi = one), Niji (ni = two), and Yonji (yon = four) being remorseless sociopaths at Judge's behest. Rei, however, still retains her humanity, and is disgusted by her family's vile actions and Lack of Empathy. Whereas Judge and the other siblings mercilessly abused Sanji for being the only one to be born entirely normal and thus "weak", she is the only one to actually care for him. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: The Stand of main protagonist Giorno Giovanna, named Gold Experience, undergoes a transformation into a Requiem form. Its main ability is an extension of Gold Experience's base ability, Life-Giver, entitled Return to Zero, which results in any action done by an opponent being reset to its base state, in essence, "zero", while the opponent still remembers having done such an action after it was erased from existence. Such an ability is used to defeat the main antagonist, Diavolo. | |

The protagonist Lelouch of Code Geass uses the alias Zero while working to obliterate the Britannian empire and build a new world in its place. It makes sense once you learn that Britannia names conquered areas and people with numbers (Ex: Area 11 and Elevens), so Zero signifies both his rebellion and his secret oppressed royal lineage. If one notices, on top of Lelouch's alter-ego naming, anything that associates with him on some personal level in the rebellions will have "Zero" in the title. The Order of Black Knights has the Unit Zero, Zero's Personal Guard (of sorts) that is composed of Kallen as its leader among other pilots, and, there's the Type 0/0A Shinkiro, Zero's personal KMF, with its Structural Phase Transition Cannon...Er, "Zero Beam". However, The Type 0/0A Shinkiro was made AFTER the Type 02 Guren. And the Type 03, 04, and 05. And made using the prototype Druid System computer in the Gawain. So it's not even remotely a prototype. In R2 episode 21, Lelouch becomes emperor of Britannia, and awards his best friend Suzaku the custom rank "Knight of Zero" as part of an inside joke for the people who know his dual identities. He creates this title as the highest knightly position, whereas the previously highest was the Knight of One. And then Suzaku drops the "Knight of" bit. In Nightmare of Nunally, Nunnally's Geass is known as "The Zero." Which makes things die. As well, her alter-ego/contractor is called "Nemo", which means no one, fitting with her brother's theme. |

Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy VII, the Bahamut ZERO summon is the strongest of the three versions of Bahamut, and the second-strongest summon altogether. Zeromus in Final Fantasy IV and the Ivalice games. The whole of Class 0, Party in My Pocket protagonists in Final Fantasy Type-0. As a team of elite hidden Child Soldiers, they robbed the title of top students of Class One. Final Fantasy XIV introduces a voidsent named Zero in patch 6.2. She actually declines to give her real name, considering it irrelevant. Y'shtola dubs her 'Zero,' which the voidsent thinks appropriately means 'nothing,' but Y'shtola's real meaning was that it signifies a beginning. The voidsent doesn't really care either way, so "Zero" it is. This is eventually used to convince Zero to help the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, since she accepted the name (tersely or otherwise), so Zero owes them a debt, and Zero hates owing people a debt. |

In Magic: The Gathering, many of the game breakers from the base set (dual lands, moxes, Black Lotus) cost zero mana. For that matter, cards that have an alternate cost (in effect costing zero mana) are generally Game Breakers, as is Lotus Petal, a toned down version of Black Lotus. Affinity decks relied on artifact lands (zero cost) and cards which got cheaper as you played more artifacts (sometimes down to zero). The latest of these zero mana cards are Mox Opal (a legendary mox which gives you a mana of any color, if you have two other artifacts in play) and Memnite (a free 1/1), which also combine well. | |

The Japanese tend to do this in titles of prequels, especially for video games: Ace Combat Zero, Street Fighter Zero, Resident Evil 0, Yakuza 0. Metroid: Zero Mission averts this, however, as it is not a prequel but a remake of the first game. Similarly, the Silent Hill prequel was called Silent Hill Zero in Japan, and Silent Hill: Origins (with a zero instead of an O) elsewhere in the world. Interestingly, the player character of Ace Combat Zero has the codename Cipher, but rather than being bad luck, he actually managed to avert several apocalypses. Well, he was bad luck for everyone he met, friend and foe. |

In Loveless, a series chock full of meaningful pair names, there are two teams called Zero — one whose members are both boys, and one who are both girls. They are called the Zero series because they are Artificial Humans who cannot feel pain, and, in theory, are undefeatable - but the creation process denies them the individuality of a unique name, and everyone so altered will always be named Zero. | |

Warhammer 40,000 features Cypher, an enigmatic member of the Fallen (Dark Angels Space Marines who turned to Chaos during the Horus Heresy) whose motives and ultimate allegiance is unclear. Though he ostensibly works for Chaos, including the closest thing the series has to a Big Bad in Abaddon the Despoiler, his actions often result in the Imperium growing in strength, suggesting that he may not be quite what he appears. | |

The character Zero from Beetle Bailey averts the trope. He's nothing more or less than The Ditz, and it seems likely that the reason for his name is that "zero" is his IQ. He's also from near the very beginning of the comic's run, when Beetle was a college student (before he enlisted). "Zero" was an...endearing term older students had for the freshmen who they forced to do demeaning and degrading tasks to earn the approval of their betters. And now you know...the true story. Also, the protagonist itself in Brazil, where he's known as "Recruta Zero" (Recruit zero; Zero is known there as Dentinho, "little tooth"). |

Rei Kiriyama from March Comes in Like a Lion uses the kanji for zero and nothingness. This case is subverted in the sense that this hasn't been played for the Rule of Cool. The story has yet to tell his parents' reasons for giving him the name. In fact, it just gives Kyoko more fuel to taunt him with. | |

Last Res0rt contains a 0 in its name, and uses "Mind the Zero" as a tagline in places (to help remind people that they need to type it with a '0' in the URL, natch).

Japanese-American prison chaplain Ray Mukada from Oz, one of the closest things to a hero you're likely to find there.

The title comes from the Schoolhouse Rock! song, "My Hero, Zero", in which the literal number zero is a hero. The song mostly concerns itself with 0's use as a placeholder in large numbers ("Place three zeros after any number, and you've multiplied that number by one thousand"), rather than with the mathematical concept of zero as the additive identity and the multiplicative...uh...zero-izer. | |

Rurouni Kenshin: Saitou's "Gatotsu Zero" attack. His normal Gatotsu attack required momentum (from running, jumping, etc.) to give it power.

The name is appropriate for a host of reasons: he knows nothing about his past, his best friend is X (making the classic "X and O"), and his ultimate role in the first game is a kamikaze attack (see Real Life for why that's significant). It's also a good name for a character who dies every other game. Keiji Inafune, father of the franchise, wanted Zero to be the main character. Capcom only made him change his mind, though he knew before even talking to them that just bringing Zero up as the new Mega Man and flying in the face of the blue bomber tradition would fail, so he let a co-worker design the expy to be the main guy while pitching Zero as secondary but all along intending to make him the Ensemble Dark Horse and future main guy. It worked. Blues/Proto Man in the original Mega Man series has the codename DLN-000. Justified as he's the prototype of Mega Man. In Mega Man ZX, Master Albert's body is revealed as a decoy after Prometheus destroys it. Albert then appears in his "true" body, and telling his codename, DAN-000 "The Original". As of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Zero shares an English voice actor with… Zero. Zero also appears in a Gaiden Game from the alternate timeline of Mega Man Battle Network, taking the form of, most appropriately, the Zero virus. Ironically, this version of Zero has a more robotic appearance than the Reploid original. |

In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, the characters are all kidnapped by someone who calls themselves Zero, to participate in the Nonary Game. The nine players are numbered one through nine, while Zero is the mastermind behind it all. With the release of the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward, the series has been renamed Zero Escape; the second game removes most of the numerical motif but keeps the mastermind's name Zero. Yet another Zero is the main antagonist of the third game, Zero Time Dilemma. | |

Zeroro from Sgt. Frog became quite the badass assassin before he became an invader. However, he changed his name to Dororo after coming to Earth to get rid of that hateful moniker. Oddly, the dog he did Ninja training with was named Zeroyasha. | |

When the ROM image of the complete-but-unreleased English translation to MOTHER was leaked, it was dubbed EarthBound Zero◊, to avoid confusion with the sequel. As you can tell by the redirect, however, MOTHER was eventually officially localised as EarthBound Beginnings. | |

Subverted in X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Agent Zero, a rather two-dimensional throwaway villain. (He dies painfully.) To be fair, he's actually pretty dangerous — if you don't have a skeleton made of adamantium and the original Healing Factor. | |
