| | Excel Saga |
 | | Excel Saga manga are based on the dojinshi comic Municipal Force Daitenzin, also by Rikudo Koshi, who notes in an interview with ADV (included in volume four of the DVD release) that he created Excel Saga as a way to explore Excel's character in a way he had not in Daitenzin. |
 | | Similarly, the American English translation of the manga to refer to Menchi as "Mince," although ADV retained the Japanese "Menchi," which is itself a pun on Menchi's role and existence, since her name is Japanese for "Mincemeat." Gojo Shioji, Gojou, Shiouji, Gojyou Shiouji are both acceptable and frequent transliterations of Dr. Shiouji's name. |
 | | And while Rikudo Koshi is the more precise transliteration for the original author's name, ADV and VIZ adopted "Rikdo" for their purposes, presumably because its English reading would be closer to the Japanese pronunciation of his name. |
