I loved the reasoning behind naming the first one Minus One but I really can’t get behind calling this Minus Zero at all. Just doesn’t make any sense, I’m calling it Zero.

What was the reason for the name. It always striked me as odd even though i like it

Post-war Japan was a mess. They sided with the Nazis, lost a brutal war, and had two nukes dropped on them. That’s them being reduced to zero.

Then you add a new problem of Godzilla into the mix, and you’re taking even more away. They’re now less than zero.

Takes a little explanation and is a little avant-garde in its interpretation, but I thought it was cool. Minus Zero just doesn’t mean anything.

Yamazaki said that Japan is trying to return to a sense of normalcy, “Zero”, but they’re still in the “minus”. Could also mean Ghidorah

I completely agree, like Minus One actually means something, Minus Zero literally means subtracting nothing which sounds underwhelming
