Terminology

Kakarot or Kakarotto? Freeza or Frieza? Mister Satan or Hercu-... Well, okay, there's probably no doubt here. The following article aims to explain why certain names are used in GT Rewritten. However, before we dive into the article, it's important to note that we exclude characters not present in the English alphabet (for example we will use Son Goku instead of Son Gokū) because adding them would be time consuming when writing Chapters and articles, and some fonts might not be compatible with them.

Additionally this article includes a list of the most useful definitions related to the Rewritten project.

It is also worth noting that the Polish version uses completely different terminology. That's because when we were translating the series, we decided to adhere to the popularity of the names used most commonly in the English side of the Fandom with maybe some small exceptions.

Attention! During the preparation for the launch of the series, some names were changed by us midway through. If you encounter a term that, according to this article, falls under the unused names section, please inform us in the comments section on the respective page.

Adopted names

Main Characters
Other Names (Unused)	Adopted Names	Reason For Admission
Son Gokuh, Gokuh, Son Gokuu, Gokuu, Zero	Son Goku, Goku	It's somewhat consistent with the Japanese version and it's popular.
Kakarotto, Cacarrot, Cacarot, Kakarrot	Kakarot	Popularity.
Gill	Giru	Popularity and it sounds better. After all, it's hard to imagine a robot calling out "Gill-Gill"!
Mark, Hercule	Mister Satan, Mr. Satan	Consistency with the Japanese version. "Hercule" is the result of censorship, separating the character from the word "Satan". This is somewhat understandable, as Dragon Ball features scenes where the word "Satan", in reference to the character, is chanted for several minutes, which might have a negative connotation. On the other hand, the name "Mark" comes from sources other than the manga and is not considered canon by GT Rewritten.
Bloomers, Bulma Brief, Blooma, Bulma Briefs	Bulma	Popularity and consistency with the character's shirt in the first chapter of the manga. Meanwhile, the surname "Brief" or "Briefs" is excluded, as the word is only her father's given name, not a surname.
Bura, Bulla, Bulla Brief, Bulla Briefs	Bra	The names in Bulma's family are word plays related to undergarments. The word "Bulla" is the result of censorship to get around the word "bra". Meanwhile the words "Brief" and "Briefs" are incorrectly assumed to be the surnames of Dr. Brief, Bra's grandpa, when in reality "Brief" is just his first name.
Majin Boo, Boo, Mister Boo, Mr. Boo, Djinn Buu	Majin Buu, Buu, Mister Buu, Mr. Buu, Good Buu	Popularity.
Oob	Uub	Consistency with the word "Buu".
Chichi, Chi Chi	Chi-Chi	Popularity.
Gyu Mao, Ox King	Ox-King	Popularity.
Muten Roshi, Kame-Sennin, Master Roshi	Roshi, Turtle Hermit	We don't use "Master Roshi" because it's a pleonasm - it means "Master Master". On the other hand, we consider "Turtle Hermit" a good translation of "Kame-Sennin".
Umigame, Sea Turtle	Turtle	Popularity.
Kuririn, Kurilin, Kulilin	Krillin	Popularity.
Artificial Human Number 18, Artificial Human No. 18, Artificial Human #18, Artificial Human 18, Cyborg Number 18, Cyborg No. 18, Cyborg #18, Cyborg 18, Cyborg Eighteen, Lazuli	Android 18, No. 18, #18, Eighteen	In the case of "Android 18" it's popularity. Meanwhile "Eighteen", "No. 18" and "#18" are easy to use. The name Lazuli, on the other hand, comes from sources not considered canon by GT Rewritten, so we are ruling it out.
Tenshinhan, Ten Shinhan, Ten, Tien Shinhan	Tienshinhan, Tien	Popularity. Meanwhile the fact it's spelled together sits well the author.
Chaozu, Jiaozi	Chiaotzu	Popularity.
Yamucha	Yamcha
Pu'ar, Pu'er, Squeaker, Prudence	Puar
Ulong, Woolong, Mao-Mao, Chester	Oolong
Northern Kaio, North King of Worlds, King of Worlds	King Kai, North Kai
Old God of Kings of Worlds, Elder Kai, Lord of Lords	Old Kai
Kibitoshin, Kibito Shin, Kibitokai, Kaibito, Shibito	Kibito Kai

Doctor Myu, Dr. Myu, Myu, Doctor Mu, Dr. Mu, Mu	Doctor Myuu, Dr. Myuu, Myuu	Popularity.
Don Kia	Don Kee	Popularity.
Redict	Ledgic	Popularity and sits well with the author. Moreover, the original reference to the word "credit" has lost its meaning because in GT Rewritten, Ledgic is much less associated with Imecka, the Planet of Merchants.
Lena, Lene, Leing, Laine	Leena	Popularity.
Zunama, Zuunama, Zunnama, Sunama	Zoonama	Popularity.
Domat	Doma	Consistency with the Japanese version and popularity.
Mutchi, Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy	Mutchy, Priest Mutchy, Father Mutchy	In case of "Mutchy" it's popularity. Additionally we have to note that, unlike in the original, Mutchy isn't a cardinal in GT Rewritten, but just a normal priest.
Muuma	Mouma	Popularity.
General Rildo, Rildo, General Rilld, Rilld, General Rild, Rild, General Rhildo, Rhildo, General Lock	General Rilldo, Rilldo	Maintaining the reference to the word "drill". Additionally leaving the letter "o", in our opinion, retains this name's pleasant sound.
Commander Neji, Neji	Commander Nezi, Nezi	Consistency with the Japanese version and popularity.
Veis	Bizu
Nutt, Nate	Natt
Libito	Ribet

Shenlong, Shen Long, Eternal Dragon, Dragon God	Shenron
Lunch	Launch
Panchi, Pantie, Panchy, Bikini	Bulma's mother, Bulma's mom	Bulma's mother was never named in the original Dragon Ball series. The name "Panchy" and its derivatives come from the guidebook not recognized by Rewritten, while "Bikini" originates from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - a game that is not a part of Rewritten's canon.
Karin, Senpyou, Hermit Meow-ster, Cat Hermit	Korin	Popularity.

The name Lapis, on the other hand, comes from materials not considered canon by GT Rewritten, so we are ruling it out.
Artificial Human Number 16, Artificial Human No. 16, Artificial Human #16, Artificial Human 16, Cyborg Number 16, Cyborg No. 16, Cyborg #16, Cyborg 16, Cyborg Sixteen, Gevo, Gebo	Android 16, No. 16, #16, Sixteen	Consistency with "Android 18", "No. 18", "#18" and "Eighteen".

Definitions

Term		Definition
Fandom, Wikia, Project's Wiki		The official encyclopedia covering everything found in GT Rewritten. It operates the same way as most other fan wikis, allowing anyone to edit most of its pages. It mainly targets Polish readers, because it's almost entirely in Polish, however it allows to add articles in other languages.
Chapter		The word "Chapter" with capital "C" refers to the chapters of Dragon Ball GT Rewritten.
Act		The "Acts" in Rewritten are segments of a larger Chapter, dividing it into several pages. This allows for better pacing when reading the series. Despite having their own subtitles, they are still narratively connected to the larger Chapter they are a part of. Each Act has navigation links to the previous ones. So, Act I of a given Chapter won't have such navigation, Act II will link to Act I, and Act III will link to the previous two.
Part		Parts serve almost the same function as Acts. What sets them apart is that all Parts divide the Chapter on the same page. Acts, on the other hand, divide the Chapter into several pages. Additionally, Parts have a message at the end - "END OF PART X", and on the respective page, there will be links to each of them.
Supplement		An additional Act or Part related to a given Chapter, but to a lesser extent than the ones mentioned above.
Module		A piece of a Chapter located between two "* * *".
Navigation		An element of the official "Rewritten" project site that navigates to: Chapters, Acts, Parts, Supplements, lists, to the top of the page, to the bottom of the page, and to other pages, both within the "Rewritten" project and others. It's usually found at the beginning or end of a page, but in the case of Acts, it may also appear somewhere in the middle.
Annotation		A pop-up with additional information. It often contains tips and further clarifications on certain information. An example of an Annotation can be found by hovering over ^***.

Highly recommended!
