In order to give the dragons Odjn, Dover, and Chetyre their own distinct identity, they were made to speak Russian during cutscenes and were named after the Russian numbers one (****, adeen), two (***, dva), and four (******, chyetirye), respectively. Unlike the protagonists of previous Breath of Fire games, each also named Ryu, the Ryu in this game is a normal human being characterized by Yoshikawa as ``an average person like you might find anywhere'' with his only extraordinary ability being his strong will and sense of justice.
