What does Gaim even mean anyway?

Oh no, not that. I meant like how the Beat Riders AS DANCE TEAMS came up with their names. Like, okay, Raid Wild makes sense. Red Hot, okay. Some of these names make sense. Baron as well, Invitto not so much.

But Gaim? "Armored Warrior"? I'm a little skeptical with how "Armored Warrior" applies more to the Rider itself than it does that dance group.

well, at the least, their team logo has a katana going through it, and Kota's team hoodie depicts a samurai on the back

in the theme of the show, "Just Live More", there is a line in the verse that's says "Got it Move". which i think is why Team Gaim is named Team Gaim, because the pronunciation of Gaim(ga-i-mu) mimics the pronunciation of Got it Move. similar to the titles of the OOO insert themes.

Finally, Bravo is spelled with katakana, indicating that it's the English word "bravo".

I think you mean the ITALIAN word "bravo". Not all loan words have to come from English you know. It's also used in French fairly often, which is probably why he chose it.

I'm on the side of translating Kurokage as "Black Shadow". It's a cool name.

Zangetsu is written with 斬 and 月, which don't seem to anything together, but separately, 斬 is "beheading, kill, murder" and is used in words that translate as cutting, slashing, beheading, assaulting with a sword, etc. 月 is "tsuki", which is "moon" (or month, but I doubt it in this case). Depending on how "dark" you want to translate it, I'd use something like "Cutting Moon" or "Killing Moon" as a meaning.
