Z (pronounced "Zet", and not "Zee") is a new character in Puyo Puyo Tetris, representing the Tetris world since Tetris itself has no proprietary characters of its own. It is a giant , generic looking robot with a large Z block printed on the front of its body. It is apparently a house keeping robot, but not much is known about it besides this. He has a tendency to act unusually aggressive towards others sometimes, but it seems to be a case of temporary insanity.

Etymology

Z comes from the "Z" shaped block in Tetris. Zet might come from the Russian word for the letter Z, зет, or just be based off of Zed, the way it is spelled and pronounced in English-speaking countries besides America. It also rhymes with the "Teto" in the Japanese spelling of Tetris. The kana "ト(To)" is contained within Tetris. It is also similar to Zeta, the letter in the Greek alphabet that Z is based on the Latin alphabet. Zeta is also used in naming fictional robots, especially within SEGA's own franchises. Zeta also has a value of 7; there are seven Tetris pieces and Zet was the last to be revealed.

Trivia

  • Z is the only Tetris character who is not organic.
    • In fact, Z is the first mechanical character in the entire series.
