[Product] BB-91 Ray Gil 100RSF
I just ran through dozens of astrological databases and translators. The modern constellation on the box's corner seems to be representative of the Carina. Carina was part of the, now defunct, constellation Argo (Navis). It represents the keel of the boat. (If you are familiar with The Argonautika, this should sound familiar.)
With the help of translators, I was able to discover traces of Argo and Keel within the Japanese characters. Keel seems to loosely translate to dragon bone, or bony dragon? (In the tale of the Argonauts, Jason encounters a serpent whose teeth give rise to an army of skeletal soldiers and a dragon also fits in this whole mess.)
Argo Navis and its components
It's interesting to note that Pyxis was once associated with Argo.
(All of this back and forth research has taken me several hours... Someone, please confirm this.)

I can confirm with a one-hundred-percent certainty. The kanji that is written above the name of the character, 'Argo Gracy' or something, is exactly the name of the Carina constellation in Japanese.
However, the name of this Beyblade is really with a strong 'g', but at the same time, Rock Giraffe is supposed to be pronounced with a strong 'g' as well ... I suppose I could change it to "Geel" ?

It's your call, Boss Lady. I'm just glad to finally know what the carp this is supposed to be. This has to be the most misleading design and name. It's back story is more convoluted than Giraffe's...
I'm still kinda confused. So is it a dragon or a serpent?

It's a keel.
WHAT? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE! It shows a dragon on the face. How can it be part of a boat?
The employees at Takara tomy have obviously gone nuts.
why is everyone hating on rsf , it can be used as a substitute for rf or cs
Seriously, nobody knows of drekars ?

For me it is obvious why there is a dragon, and how it could be related to a keel.

Agh, I forgot to mention it or the figureheads found on the bows of ships.

Hah, that makes sense. Totally forgot about Viking ships.
OFF TOPIC?: Who owns Ray Gill in the manga? Is he Norwegian?
It's already been posted.

Picture from HK site again. The face looks ...
We didn't see RSF iirc.
Ooh, RSF. I still don't think this part will see much use though.
