Editing Captain Ginyu (section)

== Trivia ==

* '''Name Origin''': Captain Ginyu's name is a pun on "gyūnyū" (牛乳), the Japanese word for dairy milk.
* '''Body Change Technique''': According to his "Character Introduction" in the ''Budokai Tenkaichi'' series, Ginyu has used the Body Change technique numerous times, suggesting that the humanoid form he has in ''Dragon Ball Z'' might not be his original body. Despite this, his appearance in flashbacks as a child and in the afterlife after his death (in both ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''Dragon Ball GT'') matches his well-known horned form.
* '''Conflicting Sources''': There are conflicting sources regarding whether Ginyu's horned form is his original body. Some sources suggest he switched to this body after joining Frieza's army, while others claim it was his original form.
* '''Posing Like a Hero''': In Chi-Chi's commentary in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'', she notes that Ginyu seems to like comic book heroes, which is evident from his frequent posing like a hero.
* '''Voice Actors and Narrators''': In most English dubs of ''Dragon Ball Z'', Captain Ginyu's voice actors also served as series narrators. Dale Kelly was the first narrator in the FUNimation dub before being replaced by Kyle Hebert. Brice Armstrong, who also voiced Ginyu, was the narrator of the original ''Dragon Ball'' anime series.
* '''Voice Consistency''': Despite inhabiting different bodies, Captain Ginyu's original voice is used regardless of the body he possesses, even if it would be logically improbable due to differences in vocal cords. This is consistent in both the original Japanese and English dubs. In ''Dragon Ball Super'', Frieza even notes the difference in voices when Ginyu is in Tagoma's body.
* '''Reaction to Ginyu Force's Death''': Ginyu's reaction to Jeice's report about the deaths of Guldo, Recoome, and Burter differs between the English dubs. In the original Ocean dub, he exclaims, "How could three of the most powerful warriors in the universe be defeated?!" In the FUNimation dub, he says, "How could two of the most powerful warriors in the universe be defeated?!" despite showing all three of them in the visual, likely due to Goku not directly defeating Guldo.
* '''Breaking the Fourth Wall''': In ''Dragon Ball Z Kai'', during the preview for "Surprise! Goku is Ginyu and Ginyu is Goku?!", Ginyu breaks the fourth wall by saying he is taking charge and jokes about changing the series' name to "Ginyu Force Kai."
* '''Appearance in ''Dragon Ball GT''''': In ''Dragon Ball GT'', when Ginyu appears as a ghost in the Other World, he is drawn with white gloves, unlike the black-and-white arm protectors he wore in his humanoid body.
* '''Encounters with Super Saiyan''': Captain Ginyu was the only member of the Ginyu Force to encounter and fight a Super Saiyan (Gohan) during the events of ''Dragon Ball Super''. Ironically, in the ''Xenoverse'' series, Ginyu is also the only member capable of using the Super Saiyan transformation when in Goku's body during a parallel quest.
* '''Final Fate''': Captain Ginyu was the last active member of the Ginyu Force to be killed by Vegeta. He was also the only active member not to die on Namek, as he was killed by Kid Buu on Earth in the anime and later in Tagoma's body by Vegeta in ''Dragon Ball Super''.
* '''Death in Trailer''': Captain Ginyu's death by a close-range ki blast from Vegeta, as seen in ''Dragon Ball Super'', was first depicted in the trailer for ''Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi'', where he was killed while in his primary body.
