This practice is commonly seen in [[WidgetSeries Japanese works]] because they use different writing systems and apparently combining kanji or kana letters with an alphabet letter will bring XMakesAnythingCool into a new height. Alphabets are also pronounced in more literal way in Japanese, making it sounded more badass, such as ''Ekkusu'' (X) and ''Zetto'' (Z).
It should be noted that a title ending in roman numerals is not this trope. Nor is a title that just happens to end in a letter, such as ''Malcolm X'' and ''World War Z''. It has to be the sequel or adaptation titles in which the work or franchise with the original title was released first.

Normally, to name [[{{Sequel}} sequels]] you just simply add [[NumberedSequel a number]] or [[WordSequel some words]], so the sequel of ''Foomovie'' will be titled ''Foomovie 2''? Wrong, it's ''Foomovie Z''!
This trope is a title naming convention for sequels, adaptations, or work expansions of a franchise in which they just add a letter or two to set up the name. Sometimes the titles will end in a rather cool sounding letter such as [[XtremeKoolLetterz Z or X]]. The letter sometimes stands for something meaningful and relevant to the plot, or just being thrown at random until [[WordOfGod the creator]] explains what it means.
This practice is commonly seen in [[WidgetSeries Japanese works]] because they use different writing systems and apparently combining kanji or kana letters with an alphabet letter will bring XMakesAnythingCool into a new height. Alphabets are also pronounced in more literal way in Japanese, making it sounded more badass, such as ''Ekkusu'' (X) and ''Zetto'' (Z).
It should be noted that a title ending in roman numerals is not this trope. Nor is a title that just happens to end in a letter, such as ''Malcolm X'' and ''World War Z''. It has to be the sequel or adaptation titles in which the work or franchise with the original title was released first.
In many video game titles, it commonly overlaps with SuperTitle64Advance for the titles that end in "[[Main/NintendoDS DS]]", "[[Main/WiiU U]]" or "[[Main/{{Xbox}} X]]". Related to OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo, XMakesAnythingCool and StoppedNumberingSequels, not to be confused with OneLetterTitle.
