Etymology

The Han character in the Japanese name of Gif Jinryu, (Aoi), means blue. 'Gif' may be derived from gift, given that Gif Jinryu was at first distributed only as a gift for having nine stickers on the BakuThlon Cards.

Trivia

  • Gif Jinryu is one of the only four BakuTech Bakugan that is capable of speaking in Anime. The others are Dagger Odos, Seis Tavanel and DraThron.
  • Gif Jinryu was once named Azure Dragon Type (青龍タイプ, Seiryū Taipu?) tentatively when it is released as BTC-63.[1]
  • Gif Jinryu was shown in three variations in the anime series
    • The initial form when Tatsuma received the Bakugan from Master Shimo shows Gif Jinryu equipping the same Normal Cross as the Blue Blaze Flare Dragaon. This version was not released as a standalone product although it can be made with the Gif Jinryu from PROM-01 and the Cross Parts from BCV-20.
    • The upgraded form after Tatsuma received the metallic silver Normal Crosses from Harou Kido. This version is the one from PROM-01.
    • In the nineteenth episode of the second season of the anime series; Gif Jinryu was granted by Quilt an upgrade. It thereby "evolved" to its BTC-63 version that has dark blue and predominant gold motifs.
  • Even though the PROM-01 version has green eyes; Gif Jinryu actually has red eyes in all its forms in the anime series.
