"From scratch" and "reboot" means that they'll start all over again from the beginning. Thunder Cats is an example of this. The original show is from the 80s I think but in the 2000s they "started over" with a new show.

There's a rumor going around that after Omniverse ends, Ben 10 will be rebooted (the whole story will start over) so the series as we know it would officially come to an end. It's only a rumor at this point though.

Then why not say Ben 10 will finish?Or does reboot mean that the whole story will start again but with different animation style? Reboot means everything will start over from the ground up, probably including the animation style as well, but that depends on who they get to work on it.

Basically, if the reboot rumors are true they'll take the entire story that's built up over the years up until now and rewrite it, approaching the characters, story, ideas, etc, in a different way. The entire thing from head to toe would be redone based on how the new crew working on it sees fit.

As such, this current Ben 10 story (everything from the OS to Omniverse that's seen as canon) will come to an end and the reboot would be an entity all on its own. Which is why people aren't too happy about the idea, lol.
