Speculative name

I'm gonna thow this on the talk page just so it doesn't get entirely lost.

Dorora's name is a combination of do (ド), meaning hyper/mega/extra with rora (羅), a silk birdcatcher's net which is a reference to the monster's Fourth Dimensional Net ability.

Look, this monster's page was written prior to Dodgy subbing the episode. But the episode is all about these weird 'fourth dimensional warps' and Dorora's final ability (after an unimpressive fight) was a named attack to catch Zone Fighter in a 4th Dimensional net. And if Dorora doesn't mean "hyper/higher(dimensional) net" then I'll eat my hat.

I did also originally include a bit of speculation that 'do' might be a pun on 'double' because this thing is a weird-ass mirror chimera creature, but I think the rushed production really means that the kaiju design just had nothing to do with the episode plot. Cutting that is appropriate but I really think the thing about the net should stay.

Regardless I'm leaving it on the talk page for anyone who finds the information useful in the future. -Deriksmith (talk) 07:52, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
