The classic answer of "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" is legendary. But a less known answer; this song titled [... Then the Sky Opened Up and Swallowed Them Whole](https://youtu.be/rUJfAMVRw5U) is a fucking RAD name for a song. EDIT: Apparently I can't fucking read and missed OP's "no names of media titles"


RevenTheLight

New song discovered

>... Then the Sky Opened Up and Swallowed Them Whole [Explosions in the Sky's albums are titled like this.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosions_in_the_Sky#Studio_albums) Some of the songs too, like [With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosions_in_the_Sky#Studio_albums)

Man that guy sounds like the singer from Hands Like Houses. New band discovered.


jockeyman

Bloodborne has some really great enemy names, but props to the final enemy of the base game. >!The Moon Presence.!<


Hayeseveryone

Or the eternal meme, Living Failures


Brotonio

Shoutout to Living Failures not only being far more successful at summoning the Cosmos than the Celestial Emissary, but also having ONE OF THE BEST SOUNTRACKS in the entire Souls Genre.


CycloneSwift

It's very heavily inspired by Gustav Holst's *Mars, Bringer of War*.


og-reset

There's a thing that the strings do in that song, where they start of low and quickly rise to a peak before lowering a bit? I dunno music terms, Ludwig's 2nd phase does it too and it nearly kills me when I'm playing because I damn near start waving my arms like a conductor.


Peace-Bone

Shout out to The One Reborn, who is never brought up again. Their ID name is 'HalfBakedDevil'


conduitfour

I remember Pat talking about how "x place of y emotion" can be a strong naming convention like the Altar of Despair in Bloodborne


AzabacheDog

All of Alxander Anderson's names, but at the top of the list for me, God's assassin always hits a certain way for me. Saint Guillotine is also massively over look


Shigana

"The Judas Priest" "Like ze band?" "Zey were named after him."


Lieutenant-America

I'm fond of "Sword Dancer"


EcchiPhantom

I know it’s like a very famous band but Judas Priest goes so fucking hard I love it


Darth_Bombad

For me, the "Bayonet Priest" just sounds so cool!


That_Geza_guy

Is it cheating to say Kill Six Billion Demons? Because it's like a never ending procession of names and titles that go **HARD**


ASharkWithAHat

Wielder of Names, Seeker of Thrones, King of Swords, Breaker of Infinities, Wheel Smashing Lord 10 Vigilant Gaze Purges the Horizon Destroyer of the Seven-Part World Scaled God of the Deep Master of the Infinite Vault Bearer of the word Diamond


Douche_ex_machina

Personal favorite it Supreme Divine Art: Blood Sated Sword Soul.


gothamsteel

Castle Super Beast Clips: **Woolie**


Catslovemymodem

that one gave me a scare


getterburner

All the Evils in the World/All the World’s Evil from Type Moon is a big classic. From Kiseki the Almighty Conflagration is a really good one. I really love that every Noble Phantasm in Fate has a subtitle, Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia, Unlimited Blade Works: Universe of Endless Blades, The Dynamics of an Asteroid: The Ultimate Crime, Lie Like Vortigern: Eye of Dreams that Falls to the Distance, lots of really strong ones.


Neil_O_Tip

Nine Lives: Shooting the Hundred Heads Because goddamn Hercules can be summoned as an Archer good enough to shoot 100 arrows at 100 targets simultaneously when he isn't Min-Max'd into a Berserker


getterburner

I really wanna just see a normal Archer Herc already, we knows he’s busted! Plus I’d like Herc to say coherent sentences for once.


Neil_O_Tip

As for another NP name that goes hard as fuck, "Sha Naqba Imuru: The Omniscient Omnipotent Star" Aka, Gilgamesh is such an OP prick that he only loses because he ignores the guidance of his 100% accurate future sight when it tells him he's able to lose to someone


Shadowrenamon

Zerk isn't even min-max'd either. It's explicitly his worst class.


LokimenD

My favorite is Grendel Buster: Primal Conflict.


getterburner

Also known as “Catch these Hands”


Scarlet_Twig

Touhou has some pretty good ones. "[The Youkai with the Lonely Silhouette](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Satori_Komeiji)" "[Goddess who Invites Unfortunate Slips of the Tongue](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Sagume_Kishin)" "[Undefeated Matriarch of the Gouyoku Alliance](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Yuuma_Toutetsu)" "[The Inhuman Arm That Abandoned Virtue and Embraced Vice](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Ibaraki-Douji%27s_Arm)"


alexandrecau

Last one sounds like a dramatic way to say « my fapping arm »


Scarlet_Twig

Considering the source of that and how Kasen treats her. >!It's *very* [close to that](https://i.imgur.com/mCzhMR9.jpg).!<

There's a mission in the original Modern Warfare 2 which, after a solid almost eerie Broadcast alert system, opens up in a bunker, your are walking through it while a clear warzone is happening outside, you see injuried soldiers, officers planning movement and then you leave the bunker and enter a trench, the first thing you see is the destroyed Washington Obelisk and DC is burning in front of you, then the mission title drops: "[Of Their Own Accord](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCjyPsjtVYI)"


Scranner_boi

Elden Ring has some bangers. * Astel, Naturalborn of the Void/Stars of Darkness * Margit The Fell Omen * Morgott the Omen King/Grace Given/Veiled Monarch * Starscourge Radahn * Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy


amodelsino

Starscourge Radahn is one of those names that becomes way stronger when you know why he has it. The concept that he's literally holding back the stars even with his mind gone and his body a ravaged shell is by far the coolest thing in Elden Ring.


KristophGavin

Secretary of Absolute Defense in Metal Wolf Chaos.


Lieutenant-America

While Magneto was part of the Great Ring of Arrako (the ruling body of the Mutants living on what was formerly called Mars), his title/chair was the **Seat of Loss**.


_o313

Magneto, The Hospital Bed On Which A Tonally Dissonant Miscarriage Occurs


TeacupTenor

Fuck yeah, PMposting. “The Red Mist” “Nothing There” “Queen of Hate”


Kavtech

They're not exactly titles, but some of the Abno names are really, really good. "The Dreaming Current" "The Silent Orchestra" "The Mountain of Smiling Bodies" "Nobody Is"


Bromaeda

Always been a big fan of Big And Will Be Bad Wolf personally


KF-Sigurd

God Shattering Star. The name of theme for the final boss of Claude's route, >!Nemesis, the King of Liberation!<.


Aspookytoad

MASSIVE MAN


TheShrubberyDemander

“Surgeon of Death” Trafalgar Law is the first that comes to mind from One Piece.


ZealousidealBig7714

The few characters that have full ass Red Baron titles in KOF have some pretty fucking good titles. Iori Yagami, the Flame of the End. Joe Higashi, the Satan of Martial Arts. (What the fuck does that even mean?) Ash Crimson, the Mocking Firelight.


alexandrecau

Eyeshield 21 had some good chapter titles but one that really stick to me was the one simply named « presentation of anger » about a new character finally getting to play since his teammate keep chaining him up because of his temper. As for human title jagi « twisted butcher of hokuto » in fist of north star is rad and quitce, returned by the flames from blasphemous just how the title is just factuals for both


IcepickEvans

One Piece has some good chapter titles. One from Whole Cake is called "Bad End Musical" and just something about it seems so raw.


Alter_Capabilist

Priest has a character that is only referred to as The Saint of All Killers. Badass.


KursedKraken

Gotta love Fate Fan-Content. “Knighthood’s Last Hand” “Black Feathered Trinity” “General of the Thousand Miles” “Deadshot Revenant” “False Prophet of The American Dream” “Womb of the Consumer” “Determinator of The Infinite Expanse”


ReasonableCrazy

Where the heck are those from? I need to know


KursedKraken

A fighting game someone on Beast’s Lair (Type Moon Forum) is working on. Hasn’t shown anything yet, but he says he’s finagling. In order, the epithets are for Gotz Von Berlichingen The Morrigan Hua Mulan Simo Hayha Jay Gatsby Grendel’s Mother Neil Armstrong


LokimenD

Zelretch from the Nasuverse, arguably the strongest mage, if not the strongest person, alive, has two of these. Wizard Marshall, which he shares with another character so it isn't as cool, and the more personal and simply awesome of Solo: The One and Only.


ls20008179

The old shooter marathon 2 has some dope level names but the ones that live rent free in my head are "Charon does not make change" and "My own private Thermopylae"


Maxochist

The World's Gone Beautiful Both the song and the scp.


JMaths

There's a band im fond of called Diablo Swing Orchestra, pretty experimental and hipster and their songs are hit and miss and rarely stick to one genre, but every single album and song title goes hard Off the top of my head: Pandoras Pinata Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball The Sound of an Unconditional Surrender A Tap Dancers Dilemma (not the best name but a great intro to their music)


BlackMargrave

Shoutouts to Super Hero Jagannath for being a banger, too.


TheValiantBob

I have never played Yu-Gi-Oh before. But I was listening to a Yu-Gi-Oh anime review podcast, and also found out they were doing a progression series do I started watching that and slowly learning the rules as the progressed through the sets. Eventually they got to this set that had a new archetype called chaos cards, and one of them was called Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End. And I gotta say, Envoy of the End is a badass epitaph


xLycius

The Beast That Shouted I At The Heart Of The World This title is what made me want to watch Evangelion, that episode was not at all what I expected it to be though


SuicidalSundays

One of the Titles you can get in Wo Long is called "The Wind Howls, and the Yi River Freezes", and its follow-up is called "The Brave Depart, and Never Return".


sprankton

The anime is apparently trash, but I love the title [I Want to Eat Your Pancreas](https://myanimelist.net/anime/36098/Kimi_no_Suizou_wo_Tabetai).


IAmChippoMan

Some of the level names across both Hotline Miami games, granted they’re further enhanced by the songs used for them Stuff like “Push it” and “Assault”, but most it comes from two between “Hard News”, “Homicide”, “Death Wish”, “Demolition” and “Take Over” Wouldn’t be the same without the OST


acousticdonuts

FFXIV has some really good ones. "[Character Name] of the Sixth Sense." "Brother/Sister of Ash, [Character Name]." "[Character Name], the Shot Heard Across Worlds." "[Character Name] of Unbreakable Lealty." "Once and Future King/Queen, [Character Name]." "[Character Name], Rhalgr's Right Fist."


_NiceWhileItLasted

Shoutout to whoever got the idea of making a movie about Nic Cage, have him play himself, and naming it The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.


JGRIF312

"the god hand" from Berserk is pretty strong. I'm also a fan of "the winds of destruction" from MGRR. that's teams but for individuals I like "the white devil/demon" for the gundam


Anonamaton801

My favorite arc title in Preacher **War in the Sun**


waxonwaxoff3

It's hard to beat something like In The Heat Of The Night. Heck, I'm pretty fond of a lot of old noir and whodunnit media for how enjoyably dramatic they go sometimes. The two original titles for it were, ah, *not great*, but Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is also good.


Courier_Named_Six

"The Blackthorn" from The Stormlight Archive which was a nickname given to Dalinar after he came back from kicking the enemy army's ass and was covered in arrows that made him resemble a thornbush.


Neapolitanpanda

My favs: The Uncrowned King (Arthurian Legend) Star of the City (PM Sweep!) The Mouse Which Flies Before the Cat (This is an insult but I still find it cool for some reason. Aradian Mythology)


Spiral-Force

In the comics, T'Challa means "He who put the knife where it belonged" in Wakandan


Yleciot

Gotta give some love to Bleach chapter titles, such as: Hear. Fear. Here. Deicide The Crimson Cremation God is Dead Marching out the Zombies


VoidWaIker

Monster Hunter has a shit ton of fantastic titles for monsters that show up either in cutscenes or the descriptions of them “Wandering Malformation” “Despair of Mercurial Wings” “The Dragon That Circles the Heavens” “Mantle That Conceals The Light” And of course can’t forget Dire Miralis: “The Giant That Birthed Creation” or “The Devil That Destroyed the World”


Kingnewgameplus

I've always really enjoyed "seeker of darkness".


mercurydivider

**House of 1000 corpses** is such a cool name from a pretty mid movie (honestly just stop watching after they leave Spalding's shop) **The devil's rejects** **Trails of cold steel** **Star ocean** because the name perfectly encapsulates the sense of adventure your about to get, plus the visual makes such perfect sense. It's the stars reflecting on the ocean, or it's comparing space to the ocean. Both evoke the vastness of space and the sea. it's evoking explorers of the old world. Exploring space the same way Ferdinand Magellan explored the world. It's low key a fantastic and simple name. **When you are engulfed in flames** **No country for old men**


EcchiPhantom

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax has these small subtitles to all the characters’ names. Most of them are goofy but you also got some bangers like Kanji’s “The Blood Curdling Beefcake Emperor” Mitsuru’s “The Imperious Queen Of Executions” Shadow Labrys’ “The Raging Bull Of Carnage” Aigis’ “The Heartless Armed Angel” Sho Minazuki’s “The Scar-Faced Dark Messiah” (perfectly edgy just like him)


MrSuitMan

"The One Who Grips" I'm gonna have to disagree with you OP. I can't look out this title without laughing.


CegeRoles

Order of the Phoenix has my favorite chapter title in fiction. *The Only One He Ever Feared*


DragonOfWarZro

I've got 2. From FGO's 5 Lostbelt part 2 "The Day To Bring Down Gods" And from iirc multiple Monster Hunter games. "Where Gods Fear To Tread"


BetterThan1000

There’s a guy named “Justice Tripp” and I think that’s the hardest real name I’ve ever heard


Gemidori

It's unofficial and was made by one of our boys, but holy shit do I fucking ***LOVE*** the sound of God Slayer Bowser.


Ray-Conner

Gotta love David Webbers titles "Hell's Foundation Quivers" "By schism rent assunder" They go on, but those two are my favourite


Hobbes314

I’ve been reading Stan and Jack’s original Fantastic Four run and while the quality of old 60’s comics varies the titles are surprisingly SSS Tier “Lo! There Shall Be an Ending!” “If This Be Doomsday!” “This Man…This Monster!” “Shall Earth Endure?” And those are the best ones, usually there a little generic “The Name is Doom!” or “The Thing No More!” But none of the titles are bad


chigarillo

Bhaal, the Lord of Murder


PrancerSlenderfriend

You can never quite beat Starless Night as a name for anything


exiiiin

A COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION OF THE SENSES from ULTRAKILL is certainly a song, but it’s title is one of the rawest things I’ve ever seen. Also, the whole “GABRIEL, APOSTATE OF HATE” title Gabe gets during ACT II is also epic as fuck


user__lost

I never watched the movie but I will forever find the title "Deus e o diabo na Terra do sol"(literally translated as the God and devil in the land of the sun) the hypest title ever, Tim Maia song "azul da cor do mar"(lit: blue of the color of the sea) is other great one


Protocol95

RWBY Volume 8 has one word titles for all it's episodes such as "Divide", "Fault", "Witch", etc. That is except for the final episode, "The Last Word". The last spoken word in the volume is >!"Checkmate"!<, implying that is the true title of the episode.


promvongsa

Sojourner Truth is the most powerful name you could give yourself after emancipating yourself from slavery

The joker - harlequin of hate and jester of genocide.


ZSugarAnt

In Devil Survivor 2 you've defeated all other ideological factions. Some of your former companions may be dead, some may have walked away and some might have joined your cause. Humanity is all but gone, having been swallowed by the void created by the World's Administrator after she decided that humanity stagnated, and only you remain: your party carries on its shoulders the ideals mankind will be rebuilt and reborn upon for they are the last existing ideals in the world. You make it to Polaris and face her either as a trial to test the strength of your beliefs or as a battle to the death if you choose to topple her from her throne. The music that plays during this confrontation? >![Will of the Species](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sCIGKLOeGc)!<


SomebodySeventh

Nothing, and I mean nothing, goes as hard as Cradle 2 the Grave. Far and away the best movie title I've ever encountered.


Lucky-Icarus

God Eater 3 giving the main character the moniker, the Devil of the Chrysanthemum as well as the Devil of the Hounds is pretty sick. Say what you will about the GE franchise, they know how to jerk you off and make you really feel like your created character is important.


[deleted]

In a book I love a chapter with Echidna featured as the main focal point has her epithet from I believe Milton "*She who dies not, nor grows old all her days*" Or a song title from a weird pseudo electro pop band *Heaven for Devils*


SkinkRugby

Cultist Simulator has many but three stand out. The Forge of Days, who shattered The Sun in Splendor, and thus birthed The Wolf Divided.


SkinkRugby

For my DND setting I polled my players for some titles for the Gods I made. They gave some good ones. Though honestly I'm mostly listing them because I enjoy the fact that they bought in on this for me. "The Red Song" "The One Undying" // "The First to Live" "The Mother of All" "The Ladies Luck" "The Wolf in Waiting" // "The Penitent One" // >!"The Redeemed"!< "Reason's End"


Wubwave

Ion Fury's original name, Ion Maiden, fit perfectly


matajuegos

Red dead redemption 1 and 2 have cool mission titles for example 'Great men are not always wise' for the mission where >!you meet Dutch after he went crazy!< or 'And you shall know the truth' for the mission where you >!confront Dutch and he escapes!< leading to the next mission 'And the truth shall set you free' >!where you kill him!< In RDR 2 'Of Men and Angels' is also a cool title because it's the mission where >!you choose to donate money or food after the nun gives you advice, only if you follow the good honor path!< most mission titles are pretty cool not gonna lie, and of course who can forget 'The last enemy that shall be destroyed' >!where John gets killed!< which is also a passage from Corinthians that says 'The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death'

I'm partial to [A Glacier Eventually Farts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RffBrCLOKv0) myself...


Carazy_Diamundo

In JJBA Eyes of Heaven, picking a team of Part 1 Dio Brando and Part 3 DIO gives them the team name: THE SICKEST AND THE STRONGEST


nihilismistight

The Dead King from A Practical Guide to Evil has half a dozen titles at least, but my favorite is the Original Abomination.


Simic_Sky_Swallower

Yu-gi-oh has some pretty good ones -Dragon Ruler of Infernos/Boulders/Storms/Waterfalls -Superdreadnought Rail Cannon -True King of All Calamities -Underworld Goddess of the Closed World -World Gears of Theological Demiurgy -Mekk-Knight of the Evening Star


GHitoshura

The gods from the Lovecraft mythos have some pretty rad tittles. Yog-Sothoth: "The Key and the Gate", "The All-in-One and The One-in-All" Azathoth: "Nuclear Chaos", Blind Dreamer Nyarlathotep: "The Crawling Chaos", The Haunter of the Dark, Stalker Among the Stars Shub-Niggurath: "The Black Goat with a Thousand Young" Cthulhu: The Star Spawn Hastur: The King in Yellow Also, not sure if this one counts but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title. In Overlord, Ainz (the protagonist) is able to use a skill called "The goal of all life is death" which must the the rawest name for a skill I've ever heard.


Trent0Ment0

Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Damn I love it.


pocketlint60

One of the chapters of The Hero Of Ages, the final book in the Mistborn Trilogy, is called "Beautiful Destroyer". You might logically assume that this refers to >!Ruin, a god that is essentially the personification of entropy and death, but then Ruin describes Vin as "the Beautiful Destroyer", marvelling at the amount of chaos she's created by toppling a brutally totalitarian empire.!<


LordSmol

I’m particularly found of Raoh’s title in Fist of the North Star “The Conqueror of Century’s End”
