Pansear is based on a monkey and a flame. It, along with its two contemporaries, seem to inspired by the three wise monkeys motif; with its hand by its ear, Pansear represents “hear no evil”.
Pansear may be a combination of Pan (the genus of Chimpanzees), sear, and ear. Ear may relate to the “three wise monkeys” motif of the elemental monkeys. It may also be a play on pan searing.
Baoppu may be a combination of 爆 bào (Chinese for burst/explode), バースト bāsuto (burst), and ape.
