The word is used several times in the original Japanese dialogue of the anime as well as at least once in the English dub, and even flashes across the screen once in [[Layer 07]], misspelled. In the English dub and subtitles, it is sometimes mistranslated as "metamorphosis," or some variation thereof. This might be because "metaphorize" is not a commonly used word in the English language, not even appearing in most dictionaries.

Though it is a verb in English, the word is technically always used as a noun in the Japanese dialogue of the anime, verbized by adding 「する」、the verb meaning ''to do''. To nominalize it in English, one would have to coin a new term, such as ''metaphorysis'' or ''metaphorization''.
