Retronyming is the concept of modifying an object's name because the original name has changed its meaning. When applied to a movie, TV show, video game, etc., it usually consists of adding a "1" after the title of the first part of a series (in the case of Numbered Sequels), or something akin. In Real Life, this often applies to technology that has branched out from a single product. For example, the term "landline phone" didn't need to exist in 1985; there were home phones, work phones, and pay phones, but there was no need to specify that it was a hard-wired connection, because almost nobody knew of any other kind. Happens frequently when Title: The Adaptation is involved. Things designated as "Classic", "Original", "Vanilla" or "1/I" are very common examples. The Original Series is a subtrope. Franchise-Driven Retitling is another subtrope. Also note that when it comes to creative works, this tropes refers to "official" retroactive renaming, not Fan Nicknames for the work. The Other Wiki has an extensive article including a link to a growing list of examples. |

The original English releases of the first four Digimon anime were released under the blanket title Digimon: Digital Monsters, modern rereleases tend to make use of the original Japanese titles Digimon Adventure, Digimon Tamers and Digimon Frontier to differentiate between the alternate continuities. Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 are more likely to be marketed under the old Digimon: Digital Monsters than the latter two series, and in cases where the name Adventure actually is used, 02 isn’t always given a separate title. |

The second Game Boy Advance game in the Fire Emblem series was the first to be released outside Japan. Those releases simply called the game "Fire Emblem" with no subtitle, but more recent Western marketing materials covering the history of the series named it Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, which is a translation of the original Japanese title (Rekka no Ken). | |

In the U.S., the Great Teacher Onizuka series became a huge hit for Tokyopop, the company distributing it. As GTO was a Sequel Series following one of the main characters from Shonan Jun'ai Gumi, when Tokyopop translated the original, it was retitled GTO: The Early Years. Other Japanese adaptations have done similar retronyms, such as its Live-Action Adaptation adding the subtitle Young GTO!. | |

Lampshaded in one of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes. The story takes place in the 1930s depression era, where Grandpa Simpson states that times haven't been this bad since World War I. This leads Lenny to remark why he keeps calling it that, followed by his response "Oh, you'll see!" In a regular episode, during one of his long boring stories, Grandpa explains that they used to call WW1, "International Civil War 2". |

The first major antagonist in the Fist of the North Star manga was Kenshiro's old rival Shin, who engraved the seven scars on Kenshiro's chest and captured his fiancee Yuria. At the time Shin was established to be the sole master of the Nanto Seiken style, much in the same way Kenshiro was the sole successor of Hokuto Shinken, with not a hint of any other students or branches in existence. After Shin was killed off, other practitioners and sects of Nanto Seiken were gradually introduced, with Shin himself being revealed to be just one of the school's six grand masters known as the Nanto Roku Seiken (Six Sacred Fists of Nanto), with the other masters being trained in avian-themed styles (Suich�ken or the Waterfowl style, K�kakuken or the Crimson Crane style, Hakuroken or the White Heron style and H�-�ken or the Phoenix style),note The Last Nanto General, the sixth member, is not trained in a specific style. but Shin's own brand of Nanto Seiken was never given a name in the manga. A 1986 guidebook titled Hokuto no Ken Special: All About The Man eventually revealed that Shin trained in Nanto Koshuken or the "Lone Eagle" style. | |

One of Cracked columnist Winston Rowntree's The 4 Reasons We Fall in Love With a Piece of Pop Culture is that it's "porn", which he defines as any cultural work "that you seek out to animalistically fill a specific need." He runs through a bunch of things jokingly called porn, coining the retronym "Sex Porn" in the process. | |

Likewise, "WrestleMania" can refer to the yearly WWE event; so when talking specifically about the first one, just billed "WrestleMania" at the time, fans and even WWE call it "WrestleMania 1" or "the First WrestleMania". WrestleMania XXX in 2014 was the last one to get a number designation, so now fans have to give each edition one of these as soon as the event is over. |

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series was originally referred to as just Spider-Man during its original 2003 release. The exact Character Title was already used across different media. Therefore, it had gone through various nicknames like "MTV's Spider-Man", "Spider-Man 2003", or "Spider-Man Animated Series" by the Annie Awards. It wasn't until the 2004 home release that it was officially referred to by its current title retroactively. It slightly differs the series' name from its similarly-named '90s predecessor Spider-Man: The Animated Series. | |

In the first Kamen Rider TV series, Takeshi Hong� was not known as Kamen Rider No. 1 until Kamen Rider No. 2 (Hayato Ichimonji) was introduced. The 1979 series, simply titled Kamen Rider (as was the main hero Hiroshi Tsukaba) was originally going to be a Continuity Reboot; after that plan was scrapped, the previous Kamen Riders showed up to help out and they gave Hiroshi the sobriquet "Skyrider". The show itself kept its name for the initial TV run, but reruns and home releases renamed it New Kamen Rider. This title was changed again to Kamen Rider Skyrider to avoid confusion with the movie Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue (the Japanese word for "new" is also "Shin"). As for Hiroshi himself, these days he tends to just be called "Skyrider", as opposed to "Kamen Rider Skyrider" or anything like that. And on the subject of Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue, the "Prologue" gained new weight in distinguishing it from the 2023 film Shin Kamen Rider, named as such because it's part of the Shin Japan Heroes Universe. The earlier TV shows in the franchise became known as the "Showa Kamen Rider Series" in 2001 when Kamen Rider Kuuga kicked off a new series of shows dubbed the "Heisei Kamen Rider Series". |

The original Megazord from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers later became known as the "Dino Megazord" to distinguish it from all the other Megazords in the Power Rangers series, although the name was mainly used for the 2010 reissue of the toy. In France, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was broadcast as just "Power Rangers" back in the franchise's early days, forcing Netflix France to add "Mighty Morphin" to the title as a distinguishing subtitle. |

The Japanese subtitle of Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, Ora no Gohan o Kaese! ("Return My Gohan!"), wasn't used until the film's home video release. Many of Toei's initial film versions of their popular tokusatsu and anime franchises often got new titles when further film versions of the same franchises were made. In-Universe, Super Saiyan 2 wasn't named until chapter 474 of the manga, 64 chapters after it first debuted and 109 Chapters after the concept was first mentioned. Until then, it was generally referred to as "beyond Super Saiyan", which didn't do much to distinguish it from the "jacked up" form of Super Saiyan 1, Ascended Super Saiyan. |

EarthBound (1994) (Mother 2) was the first game in the Mother series to get an American release, although a prototype for an unreleased localization of the original Mother eventually surfaced titled "Earth Bound" (note the space). When said prototype was eventually released as a ROM image online, some fans created hack that changed the title to EarthBound Zero, a title most fans used to refer to hack and prototype alike. It was eventually released as EarthBound Beginnings on the Wii U Virtual Console (with the title screen just saying "Earth Bound"). | |

When Goodson-Todman brought The Price Is Right back for syndication and CBS in 1972, it had the word "New" affixed to the title to distinguish it from the Bill Cullen show. The word "New" was dropped in June of 1973, yet the 1994 syndicated edition used "New" in listings for the show as it was horse of a different color in contrast to the daytime show. | |

Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 are more likely to be marketed under the old Digimon: Digital Monsters than the latter two series, and in cases where the name Adventure actually is used, 02 isn’t always given a separate title. | |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998) goes by The Powerpuff Girls Classic on video streaming sites like Hulu, to distinguish it from the 2016 reboot. Fellow Cartoon Network series Ben 10 similarly goes by Ben 10 Classic thanks to its 2016 reboot, with it and its three sequels being referred to as the "classic continuity". |

The very first Sin City story was titled just that... Sin City. The series caught on, resulting in future stories containing secondary titles (i.e. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For). Even when the original story was first collected in a trade paperback format, it retained its original title. Word of God gave it the nickname The Hard Goodbye and that's what Fanon called it when discussing this particular story. When the movie came out, the collected editions added this title. Likewise, this particular sequence in the movie shares the same title. It resulted in a slightly awkward line, however. Every story name drops its own title but this one never contained the line "the hard goodbye" since that wasn't its original name. The line was added to the dialogue in the movie. | |

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is sometimes referred to as "Jak One". This is derived from the legacy skins of Jak in Jak X: Combat Racing, where the Jak II and Jak 3 versions of him are named after the games they appear in, with TPL Jak being called "Jak One". This establishes a Running Gag where the main sequels are all numbered differently, using a word, a Roman numeral and an Arabic number. | |

The "Combat Evolved" in Halo: Combat Evolved was originally a Tag Line tacked on by Executive Meddling much to the displeasure of Bungie, who internally called the game just "Halo" (as stated in a retrospective Edge article) and left the title as such on the main menu, the spine on the keep case, and the instruction manual. By the time 343 Industries took over the Halo series, "Combat Evolved" turned out to be highly convenient in distinguishing this first game from the series itself so it got promoted to official subtitle in rereleases (case in point: the interface of the Compilation Re-release The Master Chief Collection always calls the game "Halo: Combat Evolved" instead of "Halo".). | |

Star Trek: The Original Series has only ever been referred as just Star Trek in its own title sequence. The Original Series became a commercial moniker once Star Trek: The Next Generation came out, and the various tie-ins, encyclopedias, technical manuals, chronologies, series bibles, Fan Speak, etc tend to refer to the different shows by a three letter acronym for ease of discussion, with The Original Series being (TOS), The Next Generation being (TNG) and followed by (DS9), (VOY), (ENT) and so on. Some level of distinguishing was required in fandom much earlier when Star Trek: The Animated Series came out in 1973, and this series is now also retronymed as TAS in line with the others. Routine distinction of TOS as such would likely have intensified if Star Trek: Phase II had gone to series (would fans have referred to it as Phase I?) instead of becoming the first movie. As it turned out the universal use of The Original Series and TOS was not a thing until 1987 and the widespread use of the handy TNG abbreviation, whereupon TOS very quickly arose as a deliberate backwards emulation. |

The first game in the Command & Conquer series was given the subtitle "Tiberian Dawn" after the release of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, to help differentiate them from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert sub-series — though some of the documents on the official disc already referred to "Tiberian Dawn", suggesting it may have been an internal project name that got promoted to subtitle later on. | |

In-universe inversion: in A Song of Ice and Fire, reigning monarchs in Westeros not named after an ancestor are optimistically styled "the First of His Name" (as in, "King Robert Baratheon, the First of His Name") under the assumption that their dynasty will both continue to rule and name future monarchs after them. It's not looking good for either Robert or his "sons", Kings Joffrey and Tommen of the Houses Lannister and Baratheon, the First of Their Respective Names, to be commemorated this way. | |

Final Fantasy: The original game was initially called just Final Fantasy, but remakes of it change the title to Final Fantasy I. Final Fantasy Adventure was remade for the Game Boy Advance under the title Sword of Mana in order to fit with the other World of Mana games. Over a decade after that, it received another Updated Re-release on iOS, Android and Play Station Vita, this time bearing the title Adventures of Mana. |

The original The Legend of Zelda, originally a Famicom Disk System title, was re-released in Japan as a regular cartridge under the title of Zelda no Densetsu 1. However, the game itself had already referred to itself with the "1" in the ending sequence of the second quest. | |

Within the Ultra Series, the Ultraman from Return of Ultraman was given several nicknames, such as the "New Ultraman" or "Ultraman the 2nd", to distinguish him from the original Ultraman (who, as an aside, has no official distinctive name to this day, forcing fans to label him with nicknames along the lines of "the original Ultraman") until he was officially named "Ultraman Jack" in the 1984 Ultraman Zoffy movie. | |

This wiki sometimes uses retronyms to disambiguate the first work of a series from the series itself as a whole (since, if the series doesn't have enough different media for a Franchise page, they'll both be placed under the media tab) if there were no subtitles to be used. Those have become Artifact Titles for the most part, but the URL still shows an "1" (Arabic) or "I" (Roman) at the end no matter what (a few others, like Crash Bandicoot (1996) and Ratchet & Clank (2002), use their release year instead). Examples of "1" include: Ant-Man Assassin's Creed Back to the Future Etrian Odyssey Ghost Recon Iron Man Kingdom Hearts The Legend of Zelda Mario Party Mass Effect Mega Man Metroid Quake Resident Evil Sonic the Hedgehog Star Fox Street Fighter Super Mario Bros.

Doctor Who episodes from 1963-1989 are now frequently referred to as "classic" Doctor Who, to differentiate from the revival since 2005. Lampshaded in "Twice Upon a Time". One of the guest characters is a time-displaced World War I captain. At one point, the Doctor calls him "an officer from World War I", to which the captain immediately questions the "I" only to be replied "spoilers". It took a while for fans to figure out what to call the reboot pilot movie starring Paul McGann (at least when small children were around): its only title on screen was Doctor Who, creating a need for a means of distinguishing it from the 1963-89 series and other Who properties, and producer Philip Segal did not help matters by grudgingly suggesting that if fans really wanted a name for it they could use "The Enemy Within" (which no one did). Eventually everyone settled on calling it Doctor Who: The TV Movie, and it is now so marketed (though the title sequence still has only Doctor Who). |

Some level of distinguishing was required in fandom much earlier when Star Trek: The Animated Series came out in 1973, and this series is now also retronymed as TAS in line with the others. Routine distinction of TOS as such would likely have intensified if Star Trek: Phase II had gone to series (would fans have referred to it as Phase I?) instead of becoming the first movie. As it turned out the universal use of The Original Series and TOS was not a thing until 1987 and the widespread use of the handy TNG abbreviation, whereupon TOS very quickly arose as a deliberate backwards emulation. | |

This is quite common when it comes to reality TV shows getting more seasons, usually this is just done by putting a '1' on the end (like The Amazing Race), but certain shows have done differently to match later season themes, usually by adding the place onto the end where the show was filmed. The first season of Survivor has since been named Survivor: Borneo. The first season of The Real World has since been renamed The Real World: New York. |

Warrior Cats: The first series was called simply Warriors (or Warrior Cats, depending on where you live). After several other subseries came out, all under the same series name (e.g. "Warriors: The New Prophecy"), fans started calling the first series "The Original Series" or "The First Arc". It was later officially rebranded as The Prophecies Begin, though the fan-nicknames are used just as often. The manga trilogy featuring Graystripe originally didn't have a trilogy name (such as "Ravenpaw's Path", etc) like the others - the volumes were just titled "Warriors: The Lost Warrior" and so forth, which caused a lot of confusion. The boxed set of the three, and later the full-color re-release, named the trilogy Graystripe's Adventure. |

2021's Dune is a weird example in that it has Dune: Part One as title, but only in the ending cards. While it was publicly known that it would cover only about half of the book, it was probably a marketing decision to keep it as just Dune. Since Dune: Part Two has come out, the first film tends to be referred to more and more as Dune: Part One. | |

The 1979 series, simply titled Kamen Rider (as was the main hero Hiroshi Tsukaba) was originally going to be a Continuity Reboot; after that plan was scrapped, the previous Kamen Riders showed up to help out and they gave Hiroshi the sobriquet "Skyrider". The show itself kept its name for the initial TV run, but reruns and home releases renamed it New Kamen Rider. This title was changed again to Kamen Rider Skyrider to avoid confusion with the movie Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue (the Japanese word for "new" is also "Shin"). As for Hiroshi himself, these days he tends to just be called "Skyrider", as opposed to "Kamen Rider Skyrider" or anything like that. And on the subject of Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue, the "Prologue" gained new weight in distinguishing it from the 2023 film Shin Kamen Rider, named as such because it's part of the Shin Japan Heroes Universe. | |

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5 was renamed to Maximum Tune 5 (no "Wangan Midnight" part) for the North American release. Within the game, prior Maximum Tune games are renamed in the same format (as shown in soundtrack labels) despite having been released in the region with the Wangan Midnight parts of their respective titles intact, and Wangan Midnight R gets renamed to just Midnight R. | |

Starship Troopers has Rico's narration call military sailors on the ocean "wet navy", to disambiguate them from the Space Navy that operates the starships; other SF authors have used this as well. No term is established for what ordinary ground soldiers are called to separate them from mobile infantry. "Sitting ducks" comes to mind. | |
