Many posts say that Gusini participated in the Croco-Avian Wars. The Croco-Avian Wars are popular, non-canonical events in the Italian brainrot universe that are said to be between the bird and crocodilian characters. As a YouTube video by meGAME explains, Bombombini Gusini played a major role in the wars:
- During the first war, Bombombini Gusini betrayed his brother, Bombardiro Crocodilo, and switched sides to fight for the birds. However, the birds lost the first war.
- During the second war, Bombombini Gusini received weapon upgrades from Lirilì Larilà, an elephant character. This gave Gusini a leg up in the war against the crocodiles. However, Lirilì Larilà was killed, which caused Gusini to lose his upgrades. This allowed Crocodilo to attack and kill his brother.
