“	Nyo-ho!	„
	~ Gyro's famous catchphrase

“	The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path.	„
	~ Gyro Zeppeli.

“	This job is my duty... and that will never change... It hasn't in the past and it won't change from here on. But I just want consent! I want to make this duty the pride of my heart! Guilty or innocent! There needs to be consent! Pride and honor cannot exist without consent! I will put my life on the line for pride and honor. Isn't there a way? Not all laws are justice! I cannot agree with putting that boy to death!	„
	~ Gyro Zeppeli about Marco's execution

“	Johnny! Lesson 5!... yeah… I’m sure that’s what we’re on now. The next one’s lesson 5! I always tried to take the fastest shortcut in this Steel Ball Run race, but, “the shortest route was a detour. It was the detour that was our shortest path”. It’s been true the whole time we’ve been crossing this continent. And because of you, we were able to take that route.	„
	~ Gyro's last words
