JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3 Game)
Gyro Zeppeli is one of the first four characters announced for the game, the other being: Jotaro, Wamuu, & Joseph Joestar (Part II)
Trivia
- The likely namesake for his given name is the gyroball baseball pitch, a difficult throw popular in Japanese baseball circles.
- In Steel Ball Run Vol. 19, he reveals that "Gyro" is just a nickname. His real name is Julius Caesar Zeppeli, which like latin he pronounces "Yulius Kaiser".
- Gyro's racing number is B-636.[1]
- Gyro was able to see Stands before he achieved one of his own.
- 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". He later 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 Alnino could be considered as well, with his dual ownership of Weather Report alongside Burning Down the House.
- 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.
- Gyro is the only Zeppeli that has a Stand.
- Like his counterparts in the original timeline, he died fighting, in protecting a JoJo.
- Gyro is the only Zeppeli to die at the hands of the main antagonist.
- 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.
- In the Italian edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "J.Lo", in 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 almost identical.
- Gyro appears in the new fighting game All-Star Battle, using his fighting style with his Steel Balls, his Stand and his horse.
- 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.
- In Platinum Games' Jack Cayman series (MadWorld and Anarchy Reigns), the Black(er) Baron character's design contains a direct reference to Gyro, possesing his segmented facial hair and letters on his teeth (DEATH WATCH in MadWord, and FUCK YOU in Anarchy Reigns). Each game has a scene with the Baron smiling to show off his teeth, in a manner very reminiscent of Gyro's smile.
