Tyranno full body

The Tyranno (チラノ) is one of the main antagonists of Genshi Shonen Ryu. It is a carnivorous one-eyed Tyrannosaurus that terrorized many lives during the prehistoric times, mercilessly destroying anything or anyone in its' path.

Appearance[]

Tyranno is a large obese brown Tyrannosaurus with one good eye and a blind eye. His arms are very small but he is very strong.

Anime[]

For some the Tyranno is revered as a god, while many others feared it as a demon; it's terrible cry is enough to scare away any living being. Due to it's massive size and brute strength, the Tyranno is nearly impossible to defeat as no other living being was powerful enough to challenge it, making it the most dominant predator that roamed the prehistoric lands. The Tyranno lost it's eye during a confrontation with Kiba, who had been hunting the Tyranno endlessly ever since it killed his family and tribe.

Names in other languages[]

  • Swedish - Chirano
  • Finnish - Girano/Kerano
  • Hungarian - Siránó (until episode 4), Tirannusz (after episode 4)
  • Italian - Tirano

Manga[]

The Tyranno's role in the manga is almost similar to its' anime counterpart, though it appears much less compared to the anime. Like the anime, the Tyranno was about to devour the infant Ryu, only for the latter to be rescued by Kitty. The dinosaur continued pursuing them until the two were finally able to successfully evade it. The Tyranno later appeared again several years later, attacking the Big Horn tribe when they were about to execute Ryu and Ran. It devoured Kitty and massacred all the tribesmen, leaving Ryu, Ran, Yamu and an elderly woman as the sole survivors. Ryu and Ran later encountered the Tyranno again in the middle of a storm, though they were able to evade it by swimming through the rapids. The Tyranno appeared several times in Kiba's flashback, where like the anime it was responsible for killing Kiba's family and tribesmen.

Trivia[]

  • Tyranno's roar seems to be a reused roar from Gamera.
  • The Tyranno's relation with Kiba is very reminiscent of Captain Ahab and Moby Dick, the titular whale from the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.
  • Unlike a real Tyrannosaurus, Tyranno is shown to be able to use his arms, notably he can face his hands downwards, which is a common portrayal of dinosaur-hands even today, but impossible to do in reality for this position would break the wrists.
  • Tyranno is really similar with Akakabuto, the main antagonist from the story Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin. They both terrorize by killing and destroying. In addition, they lost their eye to their worst enemy, Tyranno for Kiba, and Akakabuto for Gohee Takeda.
  • Tyranno's stance and shape is outdated by modern standards: he stands almost upright with his tail nearly touching the ground, even while walking, which was the assumed posture for all dinosaurs at the time.
