Subsequent to the latest Namco Taiko Blog from which one of the addition was a complete YMY-only challenge in Ranking Dojo Gaiden,YMY herself (@yyyamamo) has retweeted the announcement tweet, while adding a bit of lore of her creation:
"Speaking of, since we haven't talked of the etymology for ザストゥール from ザストゥールの魔導書 so here are a few words. The origin can be found from Hastur from Cthulhu Mythos, which from a certain source it is also denoted as "Xastur" and changing into such pronunciation."そういえば「ザストゥールの魔導書」の「ザストゥール」の語源について話したことがなかったで話してみようかなと。元々はクトゥルフ神話に出てくる「ハスター(Hastur)」からですがどこかの解説に「Xastur」とも記載しているのを見て、「ザストゥール」と発音を変えたのが名の由来です。— 山本由貴子/やまもまや (@yyyamamo) November 2, 2017
With respect to her reveal, we will also change our denotation accordingly:
ザストゥールの魔導書 Zastohl no Madousho → Xastur no Madousho
