Biography

Early Life

Gurd realized he had psychic powers as a kid; he was a real brat, using his powers to lift up girls' skirts and steal whatever toys he wanted.[2]

I likewise became aware of my Time Stop and paralysis abilities when I was a kid. As a result, I was a total brat, lifting up girls' skits whenever I felt like it and stealing all the toys I wanted.
— Gurd

Name and Pronouns

Gurd's name (グルド Gurudo) comes from the English word "yogurt" (ヨーグルト yōguruto).[3]

I thought that I'd name all of Ginyu's underlings after dairy products, and Gurd is taken from yogurt.
Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball Forever

Ginyu (ギニュー Ginyū) is from the Japanese word for cow's milk (牛乳 gyūnyū), Butta (バータ Bāta) from "butter" (バター batā), Reacoom (リクーム Rikūmu) from "cream" (クリーム kurīmu), and Jheese (ジース Jīsu) from "cheese" (チーズ chīzu). Freeza's underlings all take their names from items one might find in a refrigerator.[4]

Gurd uses the masculine first-person pronoun ore (オレ) to refer to himself.[5]
