I find it funny. ToQger ascent on the Q. So Does the mean Nihon will spell it with a Q too?

I wouldn't be adverse to it. There are a lot of times when a k sounds are romanized as q. Like Quina from Dragon's Dogma is spelled Kina in Japanese, I think.

I'm sorry, but ToQger just sounds stupid. Tokyuuger just sounds more appealing to spell and look at.

Well, I think technically they sound the same, that's the point.

I'm not sure how I feel about the full word, even capitalized the Q and the g look odd next to each other. But I really love it as shorthand for their designations, like ToQ-1. Probably that's just me.

You understand they sound the same, right? Like literally it's exactly the same.

However if TVN goes Tokyuuger it won't make sense with the TQG all over the place.

Technically, neither "Tokkyuuger" nor "ToQger" are wrong. "Tokkyuu" is a Japanese word which means "limited express train" (a train that is faster than an express train), while the heroes' belts do say "TQG", so the "ToQger" spelling isn't baseless.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me either way. I don't mind if someone refers to Kamen Rider W as "W" or "Double" (to be honest, I tend to bounce between both spellings) or Kamen Rider Faiz as "Faiz", "555", "Phi's", "Φ's" or any other spelling you may get from "Faizu". I'm leaning more towards "Tokkyuuger" since I do find "ToQger" to be somewhat funny looking. But that's just my preference.
