It's called BlasTOISE in English because it sounds better than "Blastle" or "Blasturtle".
In Japanese, it's called Kamex, which is derived from "kame", the Japanese word for turtle/tortoise. Japs don't even differentiate turtles and tortoises.

Not necessarily.
If it lives in water even just sometimes, it's a turtle.
If it stays on land all the time, it's a tortoise.

That's not even how that expression goes, are you ten?
>>28467235
They aren't actually turtles. Those are terrapins. You can tell based on the legs/feet. Turtles have flippers while terrapins have feet with claws.
