Dim... C9 was asking if the species name was pronounced in the anime. You're just making up a pronunciation, as there was no "gon" in the name.

And no, I've checked the entire episode, but the name was not mentioned in any instance. And, unfortunately, I haven't seen Reki on twitter lately, so I haven't been able to ask him about it.
