Just a wild guess, but it occured to me that the rumored line "if Gavv is soft, Zeztz is hard" could refer to their personalities, with Zeztz not showing as much emotion, holding people at more of a distance, or even being more ruthless to his enemies compared to Shouma who is such a sweetheart. I wouldn't want him to be a total jerk or for the story to get overly grimdark, but a protagonist like that could be interesting!

If so, I assume we'll get someone similar to Takumi/Faiz or Hoeru/Gozyu Wolf personality-wise. I do wonder if it may also be referring to its costume aesthetics, Gavv being soft like gummies while Zeztz is more "edgy" for a lack of better words.

In the case of Zeztz, I am sure that the connection with insects will be to one degree or another. That is, it is impossible to say his name, so that it does not turn out to be buzzing.

If it helps, I pronounce it as "Zettz" based on how the katakana is written.

On another note, apparently, both Satoshi Jinbo (who played Prof. Kagawa/Alternative Zero in Ryuki) and Kaba-chan (who played Yu the donut shop owner in Wizard) appeared on an episode of Gaki No Tsukai and got Thai-kicked by Naoki Tanaka (who played Herlock Sholmes in the Lupinranger vs Patranger summer movie). For those not in the know, Tanaka is a comedian who is a regular cast member on Gaki no Tsukai, and pre-pandemic would always get literally kicked in the buttocks by a legit muay thai practitioner whenever the show did their "Do Not Laugh 24 Hours" year-end specials, thus the term Thai kick.
