1. The name of Lucy's less psychotic alter
ego in the splendid anime Elfen Lied. After Lucy is shot in the head with an anti-
tank rifle she develops a childlike personality, and for the most part of the anime can only say the word "Nyuu". This
single-word vocabulary leads the male lead (Kouta) to give her the name Nyuu.
2. A nonsense word in Japanese, though phonetically it sounds the same as the Japanese word for "
Milk".
(Note: the Japanese equivalent of 'meow' is 'nya'. Due to the similar spellings, 'nyuu' is frequently mistaken for being synonymous with 'nya'. The
two are not interchangeable.)
1. With a fantastic body, childlike
kindness, and an oddly raging lebido, Nyuu is
almost cute enough to make you forget that she spends her
down time ripping peoples' arms out of their sockets.
2. Nyuu. Nyuu, Nyuu. Nyuu? Nyuu!
