Dr. Cakey Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 It was obviously Xyz from the beginning. As was said, there's no D sound in the Katakana. Xyz = Ekushīzu (エクシーズ)Exceed = Ekushīdo (エクシード) @Darkplant: lolI'm going to resurrect my ancient hunch and say it might be "Excise Summon". EDIT: As I said before, Konami's localization department does not know how to read katakana very well.Evidence(There's some others...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm going to resurrect my ancient hunch and say it might be "Excise Summon".No, it's actually exercise summon. To summon one, you need to do a certain amount of sit ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiithepeople Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Wouldn't it be cool if it was just an "X Summon"? Actually it makes sense, as opposed to "Xyz". X can be a reference to "cross" or multiplication, and the OCG says on every black-card monster "Level 4 monster X2 or something like that.

evilfusion Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I think you have it backwards, since burnpsy says "Exceed" is a mistranslation and Xyz is what it was supposed to be meaning: Konami intentionally named it "Xyz" and the term given in Japanese is "Ekushizu". It seems to be made-up word/term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be made-up word/term.Konami's localization department doesn't get a note saying "sutadasuto means stardust kthxbai". They have to puzzle out what "ekushizu" means, just like the fansubbers. Only they get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
