Strike Zan, no Laser.
Zan seems to be the new hip word for weaponry...

What exactly is the definintion of Zan? I assume in this context it's meant to be interpreted as Slash, so it's Strike Slash Claw...........doesn't sound so bad in full english, wonder why they mixed the English and Japanese?? *shrugs*. I |

I personally think it's from zanbatou, a type of sword...doesn't make much sense for the claws, granted, but it sure does for Leoblaze's Zan Blade...

Zanbatou is a giant type of sword- Sagara Sanosuke uses one in the Rurouni Kenshin Manga/TV Anime, (Hence his nickname, Zanzo, or something like that-I don't feel like looking it up right now) and they are somewhat similar to a few of the swords Nightmare uses in Soul Calibur 2. Just so you know  |

Yup a Zanbatou is a really big sword but usually written in Kanji, Zan on WW is written in Kana, I guess it's because it's with a bunch of english words. I think in this context Slash would make the most sense. Like how Zankuu means "Slashing Air", Gokou Zan would be "Five Light Slash" etc. I can't think of any Zan related term more appropiate than slash, Slash Blade for Leo and Strike Slash Claw works for me ;D But then again my Japanese is pretty limited not to mention pretty bad too  |

Slash, huh? Hmm..I supposed it could be mixed up a bit into "Slashing Claw Strike!" Zan, of course, sounds cooler just because anything in Japanese sounds cooler (Turtle School Wave, anybody?).
I guess TOMY decided that the Laser Blade tech had run it's course and needed an upgrade. That gives me an idea for a custom...

Well just to add my input, in Zoids Versus 2 you can equip the Snipe Master with "Zan Smashers".
It basically charges the claws with some green light, which when used on and enemy shocks them with electricity. It's powerful enough to knock a zoid down too... don't know if it's the same as the Falcon's Zan Claws, but it seems pretty similar.
