Trivia

  • In the popular pixel avatar site Gaia online, there is an obtainable item know as Roto's Hat. This item's first pose allows the avatar of the site to wear a hat identical to that of Gyro's, cleverly name Roto's hat. During a Halloween event on the same site, one of the NPCs is dressed in Gyro's outfit.
  • He is one of the few characters to possess a stand and lose it, others being those implanted with stand discs and Holy Kujo after Dio's death.
  • In Steel Ball Run Vol. 19, he reveals that "Gyro" is just a nickname. His real name is actually Yulius Kaiser Zeppeli, which is apparently pronounced Julius Caesar.
  • In the Italian edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "J.Lo" as a reference to American-Latino singer Jennifer Lopez. This is also a slight pun on the fact that the pronunciations of "Gyro" and "J.Lo" in Japanese are nearly identical.
  • Gyro's racing number is B-636.[1]
  • The first time Gyro and Johnny meet Lucy, he refuses to let her ride with him and states that "no woman (will) ride my horse". Later, he explains that Lady Luck would be jealous if he let "another woman" ride with him.
  • He is one of the few characters to gain more than one Stand in the manga, though it could be seen as evolutionary. The first was Enrico Pucci who possessed a stand that evolved to two other forms. Emporio Alniño could be considered as well, with his dual ownership of Weather Report alongside Burning Down the House.
  • Like his counterparts, he died fighting and protecting the JoJo in the arc he debuted in, though he was a main character who had done so.
    • Gyro is the only Zeppeli to die from the hands of the main antagonist.
  • Gyro appears in the new fighting game All-Star Battle, using his fighting style with his Steel Balls, his Stand and his horse.
  • He's the only Zeppeli that has a Stand.
  • In Jojolion Chapter 2 when Yasuho Hirose and the then-unnamed protagonist enter a hat shop, Gyro's hat can be seen on display behind a replica of Josuke's sailor hat.
