English looks cool to them?
Think of all the 20 year olds who get kanji tattoos because it's "deep". Strange writing has always been facinating to people of any culture.

The unknown is always more mystical-seeming. And that tends to be things that are foreign. Be mystified by the mysterious Orient~

There's also speculation that the name is a reference to ZX.
Huh. I didn't realize the Japanese were on the Spectrum. (Though that would certainly explain some things :P )

The V2 is to be anal about the name of the next Build form.

Speaking of being anal, does anyone know what Cross-Z is supposed to mean? Maybe cross is representative of a letter like XZ or +Z or tZ? It's not like there's crosses in the dragon design. I'd understand if it were something descriptive of the dragon, but it just appears totally random?

It'd be like Goku being named Z for the series Dragonball Z.

Edit: I still wonder if they originally meant Claws...

^ they're probably going for ClawZ instead of ClawS for that cool random Z effect

Dude, just scroll up the thread. It's not like you have to sift through a billion posts. Don't be lazy.

In toy packaging, a weapon has the name Beat Closer though despite "Closer" having the same kana as Cross-Z.

Hahahaha. So every episode thread is going to have someone complaining about it being Closer rather than Crosser as well as the Stark thing as well.

But Luna, John Toei Bandai who is completely fluent in English meant for it to be Closer I don't why everyone keeps denying it!

I agreee, since for those who saw the raw had heard the weapon announcement had it more with "L" part saying as well as the profile for Blood Stalk in the first part of the episode in English.

I was being sarcastic. It literally doesn't matter. You're arguing for the replacement of a letter that technically doesn't exist in the Japanese language for a children's cartoon that is a glorified toy commercial for names of characters or weapons. None of it should ruin your immersion.
