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.
• Gyro was able to see Stands before he achieved one of his own. He is the first and so far only Zeppeli to have a Stand.
• 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.
• Like his counterparts in the original timeline, he died fighting, in protecting a JoJo.
• Unlike his original counterparts, he dies when fighting the main antagonist of his arc.
• 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.
• 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.

Quotes

Lesson 1 This section requires expansion. Lesson 2 "Lesson 2: File:Johnny Unmount.png Johnny learning to unmount from his horse for the first time during Lesson 2. Work on those Muscles. For example, if I grab your wrist like this... holding the wrist tightly like this, the muscle automatically knows to bend. The flesh instinctively protects the body by wounding the muscle. That's nature for you." Lesson 3 This section requires expansion. Lesson 4 Pay your Respects. I've got no choice. We're cornered so I have to teach you... First off, Johnny, let me tell you one thing. Starting now, you can only say the words 'There is no way I can do this' four times, and four times only. All right? four times. That's what my father taught me when I was a kid. Long story short, the secret of the Steel Balls is the pursuit for Infinity, that's what my family, the Zeppelis, always strived for... My ancestors attempted to contain the idea of Infinity into the skill of using these Steel Balls for the purpose of medicine and execution...." Lesson 5 "Johnny ! Lesson 5 !... yeah, I'm sure that's what we're on right now: I always tried to take the fastest shortcut in this Steel Ball Run Race, but... 'The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path.' ...It's been true the whole time we've been crossing this continent, and its because of you we were able to take that route..."
