the anime has people say "xyz" like "eck-seize," so maybe it was derived from that

XYZ Summon is stupid because we already have XYZ monsters.

Who's gonna defend the dignity of the VWXYZ line?

Me, of course.

On the other hand, I could totally see YGO naming a villain after the last three letters of the alphabet.

White people capitalize everything in manga.

So Xyz would probably become XYZ in the hit manga series Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.

I'm going to make a deck with all 3 Gadgets and Ultimate Offering and then destroy my opponent with Rank 4 Xyz monsters. No, not the XYZs, the Xyzs. No, Xyzs is not a type of monster, it's a plural of Xyz. No, not XYZ, Xyz!!!

Ugh, I should probably take care of at least a basic analysis of something for work tonight so that I have less to deal with in the morning, but I don't want to, and also I have conflicting information on some aspects of the thing I'm supposed to be analyzing.

The joke is that a YGO manga is unlikely to be a hit save the original series.

I don't know enough about Yu-Gi-Oh to know what that means, but I'm assuming the fans are reaching for a translation that wasn't intended.

Bingo, though as others have pointed out, it sounds just like an exaggerated way of saying Exceed/s, which, to give credit, is an actual loving word.
Also, ZeXal is bad.,Don't watch it.
Also also, The manga get super weird. One of the villains is literally sentient corn.

to be fair, the cards are literally the only thing that matters. so even the anime isn't really a "hit" aside from it crossing over to NA in the first place
