Yeah...DX (deluxe) always used in toys. In Kamen Rider, usually uside for belt, weapon, and collection devices.

I also really like this Rider's suit. Puzzle Gamer may have been my favorite suit in the show so far...if only Para-DX didn't have the alternate Gamer's face on the back of the other's head. That's just so terrible and it looks so terrible. Sigh. Like, ok, that's probably how the toy works. I wish they'd figured out a way to do one of those things where one head is stored in the chest and they flip during mode changing or something. Cause this is just so disappointing.

Hmm....I think the reason why they used two face in one head concept because two mode in Para-DX chest part is connected to gold circle on his back. So in toyline, the gold circle function is to change (spin) his chest parts from fighting to puzzle or puzzle to fighting.

Of course there's the common Japanese usage of DX for video games and toys (in place of deluxe), but someone else suggested that in certain practices, DX is a shorthand medical term for either "disease" or "diagnosis", which got me thinking: what does Para- mean in the same context?
Para- as a medical prefix can mean things like "abnormal", "the involvement of two parts or a pair", or "nearby/adjacent to" as well. Which means Para-DX's name spelling can be considered a multifaceted pun;

-"Nearby-Disease"
-"Abnormal-Diagnosis"
-"Double-Deluxe"
and, of course
-"Paradox"

Hmm...very interesting.

Hmmm...I am really love Para-DX connection to disease and diagnosis things because Ex-Aid series has doctor drama.

YES, I'm being facetious. :P

Hmmm....the Graphite Belt and also Gashacon Bugvisor look like Game Boy Advance. The Rider Gashat always remind me to classical Nintendo cartridge game.

It seems Para-DX's Rider Gauges is on his segmented chest.
