I'm not going to fight this change, but I wanted to let you know that I'm the original person who changed the B-Rabbit's full name to Bloody Black Rabbit, as well as the reason why I previously decided to do this. I actually only did it as an attempt to stay consistent with official English releases of the manga; the Yen Press English release translates the B-Rabbit's full name using Bloody rather than Bloodstained. I did notice that several online translations used Bloodstained instead, but because I have no knowledge of Japanese myself, I decided to trust who I assume are professional translators. Again, I am not going to revert these changes, as you seem to have background knowledge of Japanese that validates the change to Bloodstained. I just wanted to let you know of this in case it changes anything.
Just a heads up, I'm going to be changing the B-Rabbit's full name back to "Bloodstained Black Rabbit," rather than "Bloody." Not only do all the translations I've seen use "Bloodstained," but "Bloody" has... connotations that the name is not supposed to have, depending on what kind of English the reader speaks. It's also just incorrect. In Japanese, the full name is Chizome no Kuro Usagi, literally "Black Rabbit of Blood-dye" (for another example, Aizome means "Blue dye"). I understand the change from dye to stain, because the two are roughly synonymous and the English-speaking world doesn't say "blood dyed" when something is colored by blood, but "Bloody" is objectively less correct of a translation.
