Gyro Zeppeli (ジャイロ・ツェペリ, Jairo Tseperi) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
Shin-ichiro Miki reprises his role from the original All-Star Battle. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Gyro were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Gyro has 900 health and uses the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) Battle Style, which allows him to freely mount and dismount his horse, Valkyrie, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. Gyro primarily uses his Steel Balls to attack with the Spin technique, though he is also capable of utilizing the Scan (スキャン, Sukyan) ability. Additionally, in his Great Heat Attack, he is able to briefly manifest Ball Breaker.
As a Steel Ball Run character, three parts of the Saint's Corpse will slowly appear on the ground as Gyro fights. He can pick up these parts to receive progressively better blessings that can boost his performance in combat. If Gyro battles Johnny Joestar, Diego Brando, Parallel World Diego, Funny Valentine, or another Gyro, both combatants will have to fight over the same three parts.

Command List
Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle
General Changes
- Skills that use Steel Balls decrease the Spin Gauge less than they did in All-Star Battle.
- The Spin Gauge naturally depletes significantly slower than it did in All-Star Battle.
- If Gyro is hit while a Steel Ball is out, the Steel Ball will now no longer hit the opponent when it returns. The only exception to this is the "Scan" skill and only in the circumstance that the returning Steel Ball is one that was spinning across the ground and never hit the opponent when initially thrown.

Special Interactions
- When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Gyro's face contorts similarly to when he uses Spin to deflect Fritz von Stroheim's bullets.[4]
- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Gyro makes a mocking expression while putting both his hands near his face, as he does when gripping his hair while telling a joke to Johnny.[5]
- When hit by Gyro's Great Heat Attack, "Ball Breaker", Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Ball Breaker to penetrate and fly through the dimensional wall. Ball Breaker then zooms past Valentine and D4C's face before violently exploding in a blast of Complete Golden Spin Energy.
- When summoned as an Assist by Johnny Joestar, Gyro calls out his ally's name.
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Gyro has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

- “Right, here goes! (よし、行くぜ!)”—Default dialogue
- “Okay, you just stop there. Don't come any closer! (よォーーーし、そこでとまれェェーーーッ。 それ以上こっちに近づくなッ!)”—Gyro Zeppeli (Player 1)“What the-- me?! Is this the President's trickery at work?! (オレがいるぞ!? まさか…大統領の能力か!?)”—Gyro Zeppeli (Player 2)
- “What do you want to say here? If you're gonna give me a piece of your mind, do it! (何が言いたいんだ? 偉そうにオレに意見をたれるんならハッキリ言え!)”—Gyro Zeppeli“You are the inheritor! You have to starve if you want to win. Starve nobly! (君は『受け継いだ人間』だ! 「飢えなきゃ」勝てない。 気高く「飢え」なくては!)”
-
“Hey, what gives? (おい、どういう事だい………?)”—Gyro Zeppeli
- “You have to let a horse run free. Let it go where it wants, as if it's thanking the land and sky for letting it be born here. (馬自身が「良い」と思うように走らせろ… 馬自身が………この大地と空の
下 に生まれて来た事を 感謝するように…)”—Gyro Zeppeli“In the battle to come... just one misstep... a single misstep will decide the victor. And I'm not just talking about us. (ここから先は……戦局でいう所の…「一手」だな… 「一手」見誤った者の敗北という事か…… ジャイロ、おまえの方か…わたしの方ではない がな…………)”

- “This is your fault... Coming up to me like some kind of creeper! (お前さんが悪いんだぜ… 怪しいカッコして近づいてくるんだからな)”—Gyro Zeppeli (Player 1)“You mean this ISN'T one of the President's tricks?! (これは大統領の能力ではないのか…?)”—Gyro Zeppeli (Player 2)
- “Maybe you're right... you gotta starve for it! (おまえさんの言うとおりかも… 「飢える必要あり」………か………)”—Gyro Zeppeli“Just keep growing stronger... It'll be the inheritors like you who win in the end. (…少しずつ「生長」すればいいじゃあないか… そうすれば……最後で勝つのは、 君のような「受け継いだ」人間なのに………)”
- “Flaws don't need to be fixed. (
クセなんて直さなくていい )”—Gyro Zeppeli“And what if I told you? You wouldn't be able to change your flaws... Or your fate. (教えたところでどうなる? クセは直らない……宿命のようにな)” - “This is it! The Steel Ball behind 250 years of Zeppeli family history! (これが! ツェペリ一族250年の「鉄球」だぜ!)”—Gyro Zeppeli

- “Your name must be whack-a-mole, because I want to stomp your silly looking head down! (変な頭だ、踏みつけてやりたいね…)”—Gyro Zeppeli, insulting Josuke Higashikata's hair

Commemorative Giveaway

In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Gyro, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny Joestar respectively.
The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and lasted until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
- Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
- Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway.
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[7]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of July 2023. The gifts were delivered in mid-August 2023.[7]
