Can I ask why the news-post says that “Blades” is the correct romanization of the previously thought “Blaze”? Has there been any confirmation from the press release or toys that this is the case? I know “Blaze” is a bit counter-intuitive, but to my knowledge neither the name “Blades” nor “Blaze” has shown up in English in any official capacity...

I'm pretty sure it's an assumption based on all the other riders' names being directly sword-related, and the fact that Blaze for a water-element rider is pretty daft. Don't think there's any official romanisation yet - though even when we do get some I'd take it with a pinch of salt, Bandai/Toei aren't always super consistent or sensible with such things! (Looking at you, Gord Drive...)

Blades is definitely a more LOGICAL thematic rider name when we look at stuff like Saber, Espada, Kenzan, Caliber.
However it kinda makes me feel like the Cross-Z situation if this turns out to be true. クローズ Kurouzu... Kuroz? Claws? Clothes? nope Cross-Z yet the Z at the end is pretty much just for for a visual flare it seems. It doesn't seem to fit with the way the name would read with just the Kana. Blades would be a similar case i feel, since i'm fairly certian Blade is often written Bu Re i Do , WHile what we have for the rider is Bu Re i Zu so the D sound would be rather absent. Also Ending theme? Has it seriously been that long since we've gotten one. I know its been a while but i honestly haven't even realized we've been lacking them. Like i could of swarn we had some during Den-O guess i was mistaken though. |

Indeed considering Blaze is nowhere close to the major attributes he possesses. At first I was thinking, "I don't know where they are going with this but okay, let's wait and see.". But thankfully someone from this community shared with us that Blades is what his name is in English.

I mentioned before that it would have been more convenient to use ヅ (dzu) instead of ズ (zu) but the former is seldom used since there's no auditory distinction between them in Japanese. I speculate that the ending theme is to compensate us for the mysterious lack of one in Lupinranger VS Patranger and maybe to make the Reiwa Rider Era feel more distinguished.
