Giaru is based on a pair of interlocking gears, more specifically either {{wp|Gear#Spur|spur}}, {{wp|Gear#Helical|helical}}, or {{wp|Herringbone gear|herringbone gears}}. The Giaru line's shiny coloration may have been based on {{wp|copper}} gears, as their "noses" have turned green as copper does when it is rusted. | |||

Its name is probably derived from ギア ''gia'' (gear). | |||
