So what's going on with Guyver?

>>15289289
Holy shit

>>15289276

Is Guyver just the one series? Or is there a manga I can also read. I have been interested eversince I saw the figma.

There's a manga yeah, but it's impossible to find online after a certain point because a group called Guyver Advocacy has that shit on lockdown. They're the only group that scanlates Guyver and they're really elitist about it.

You have to join their website and formally request a volume from them, then they ask for proof that you bought and own a physical copy of the volume in question, then they send you scanlations with special watermarks embedded so if you try to share or distribute them, they'll know who did it and permanently blacklist you from ever getting scanlations from them again.

They claim it's to enforce supporting the manga and discouraging piracy, but it reeks of pompous egotism. it feels like "you want your precious biotech horror/superhero manga in English? Well then you gotta answer to US!"

>>15289289
That looks odd and amazing...I want this manga to get a second anime adaptation but I know it's so old and niche it's nigh impossible :(

I'll start reading the manga when it's closer to the end.

>>15290555
Is there any particular reason why other groups haven't picked it up themselves?

>>15290565

Probably because they don;t want to deal with whatever shit the other group will end their way and it's generally a rather old series so demand isn't especially high

>>15290565
Old series with small fanbase coupled with how assy Guyver Advocacy are?

They've pretty much driven it into the ground and noone really bothers with Guyver anymore sadly.

>>15290565
Not enough interest I guess. There's oodles of other untranslated manga out there.

>>15289276
>How is this manga still running?
Fans in japan
>What's going on right now?
Don't know. A few elitist asses keep scans to themselves
>I heard that there's some sort of gigantic Kaiju Guyver now?
Really old news, it's the red version of Guyver Gigantic
>Will the anime ever continue?
No

>>15290727
>>15290735
>Ciaran Hillock did a few chapters 2 years ago
>GA pretty much did nothing since 2011
I mean, it's not like Guyver Advocacy has anything else better to do, they got less series to do than many scanlation groups. They shouldn't be dragging on one darned title.

I always lold at people so butthurted about GA not releasing their scanlates. Hahahah, pathetic people.

Back at point. The author is on unexplainable hiatus and it continues for 12 months already.

Where do the "official" releases stop and GA scanlations begin? If it's only a few volumes, I don't think it would be that hard for someone else to pick them up and undermine GA.

Can't somebody just get the scans privately from someone who has bought it and simply typeset it onto the public raws? That way, we'd get it and they wouldn't know who shared it. That's the best option, I'd say.

I find difficult to get updates on how the story is developing in the last three years. Resources only are extremely scarce and avoid "spoilers". Anyone can provide a general synopsis of the latest chapters?

>>15290555
why not just murky up the watermark with more watermarks to the point where they cant recognize any of the identifying info? or just blackbox it

or just proxy up and make some phoney reciepts

>>15291998

I actually plan on doing this at some point when I have the coins and my shit together. Car parts can wait a few months to give Guyver to the world.

If you can do that you would become a hero to the three or four Guyver fans there are

>>15292032

I mean, there was the original three that got smuggled out of Chronos's Japanese base, the 2F clone thing, and I guess you could count the Guyver from millions of years ago that got killed and probably destroyed, maybe that's becoming part of the plot now, the last I saw was pic related. Does anyone have anything later that it?

What does that scanlation group to support official releases?

>>15292035
There may even be 10 of us.

At any rate, yeah, that would be pretty awesome. I keep meaning to get caught up on Guyver, but once I learned how... aggravating... GA folks were being over everything after, like, volume 11 (or 18? it's been a while) or something, I sorta was forced to give up.

>>15295142

I have up to Vol. 29. I don't know where they all came from, but the later volumes look a lot more choppily translated than earlier ones.

>>15295430
From what I heard the later chapters were done via Chinese or something like that.

Who cares what GA thinks? They don't own the series. Besides, they can be shared privately and possibly somebody could just typeset them onto public raws so they don't find out who done it.

>>15295580
>forcing people to pay to read it when any other fanbase doesn't
Sure.

>>15295649

Really, the solution is so simple that I'm surprised that no one's managed to do it already.

I guess because it requires someone to be the fall guy and spend the money on raw Guyver volumes, but if you're a big enough fan that probably isn't that big a deal.

>>15295649
>and possibly somebody could just typeset them onto public raws so they don't find out who done it.
Depending on how they watermark it, it might be quickest to just cut the unwatermarked part from a raw and paste it on the GA release.

>>15295649
>>forcing people to pay to read it when any other fanbase doesn't
>Sure.

With that kind of attitude, you're just proving them right. Reading a published work is not a right, it's a privilege. They're just asking you to support the author.

Is this the case for any other manga out there done via scanlation? I think not.

So, basically, do what you want 'cause a pirate is free?

>Is this the case for any other manga out there done via scanlation? I think not.

It's supposed to be so, and the fact that there are countless pirate groups that distribute them for free doesn't change that fact. Don't get me wrong, I pirate as much content as any other anon here, but you'll never see me bitching about not being able to enjoy my entertainment media because someone who bought it and translated it hasn't uploaded it for everyone. They're in no obligation to give it to anyone, and in fact, they'd be going against the law if they did (even if it's a very poorly enforced one). You're just spoiled by piracy.

See here's the thing as much as I can appreciate the sentiment of support the official release no one in the states has thought about getting an official release here since the early 2000's and the fact is the only way we can get is if a fan base is there is one who will buy it! It does not help anyone who want's it if it is limited to people to buy the Japanese volumes and the fact is a the fanbase best hope relies on a showing a work at it's highest quality I mean come on. When Gundam the origin came out I made sure to buy every release but the only reason I knew it was worth it was because of the scans. The fact is if Guyver is to get any traction it has to come from passionate fans, and right now the only people who are willing to translate it are gatekeeping like no tomorrow.

That's not the point. Are you the same person who always defends GA is Guyver threads on /m/? Why do you keep defending them? If people did this for an actually popular mainstream series, they wouldn't get away with it.

>>15296179
Not an argument.

>>15297269
>rules

Look, regardless of whether GA bought the volumes and translated them is irrelevant, and as long as they're not releasing them to the public it never will be. Everyone angry at them have had a steak dangled in front of their nose and put in a steel cage. It doesn't matter if the steak exists or not, you're never getting it. There's nothing stopping an existing group to buy and translate the series, and if it were more popular, this would already have happened regardless of DA. There is no moral high ground an internet pirate can take in this matter. Suck it up, or get purchasing.

What I'm surprised and slightly upset by is that there isn't a Webtoon-esque online, official, manga database done by JUMP or whoever. Webtoon is in my mind one of the few official manga/anime/etc. services that's better than the fan-run ones, because it's ad free, reliable, and full quality. I don't know how or if Webtoon make money, but as long as I get ToG every Monday, I'm cool with it.
>inb4 personal surveillance botnet

The fact of the matter is that GA is able to get away with what they do solely because Guyver just isn't popular enough to cause an outcry. No one else has decided to translate because there is no one else.

The 38 unique IPs in this thread alone probably cover a very generous portion of the fanbase.

>>15298271
True. Unless we want to commission a group to work on the series or translate from the russian or chinese version

>>15297779
Then what's the point?

>If people did this for an actually popular mainstream series, they wouldn't get away with it.

And what could a lot of internet anons do to them? You mean they won't be able to keep their release to just the people that gives them proof of purchase? Or do you mean that simply other groups would do the job and release it for free for the whole world? In any case, GA doesn't need to "get away" with anything. They're not profitting from this nor making any direct gain. Their rules are simply an informal way to give actual support to the author and the rest of the staff behind the publication of the manga.

BTW, I have never defended GA before. In fact, I haven't even watched or read Guyver. I just happened to enter a thread some time and got to know about GA's case, which caught my interest, so I get in Guyver threads to know about that. I myself have translated and uploaded content illegally for other unpopular franchise. I do it for the people who like it, but I also feel guilty for the staff as I often interact with them through social networks. I love the series, so I don't want to give away its products for free, but I end up doing it regardless, taking into account that the producers practically don't consider the West as a market, so the damage is small as you said. Basically, as a fellow actual supporter of the things I like, I completely understand GA take on the matter so I can't see how anyone would feel like they have any right to shit on them for what they do.

There are russian translations? How far do they go?

>>15298423
All the way though I think they translate from chinese since the scans look similar to ga

>>15298335

Because Japan is notoriously anti Digital. They will make buy a DVD to watch a full version of a MV and then have the most hardcore anti piracy groups comb through every fansite with a fine comb to the point the only sites left are invite only with harsh requirements.

The passionate fans ARE the ones buying and getting the scanlations through GA. Not to mention discussing the series regularly.

"Casual fans" are the only ones not getting the newest stuff. And random anonymous people on some forum bitching about it aren't fans at all.

The volumes released up to this point were done by these so called "elitists" as well.

Reason likely is because they have said the their new translator would likely quit if the stuff got leaked ( I remember someone saying this before).

So it could just mean no more translated guyver at all for everyone, rather than a small group of fans.

This assumes you have read to the end of Volume 29.

Vol 30 - The Segawa siblings wake up on thew Island of Silha and find that Apollyon has brought them there to take care of a sick Alkanphel/Archanphel.

Agito is shown to have been humbled by Sho's win, and has made graves for all his fallen comrades. Sho has some things to work out, but doesn't blame Agito for what happened.

Sho and Aptom, in their new Guyver Aption form visits the Zoalord Shinn to discuss matters including what they know about Apollyon and Shinn reveals Guyver II F's identity.

Guyver II F is having biological issues, possibly due to the artificial unit.

Vol 31 - Brief backstory of Valkyria/Guyver II F is shown. She is adopted by the Lisker family, and Ozwald seems like a good big brother, until she overhears him and his father calling her and her mother trash. She works hard to become the youngest Chronos Inspector, which shocks both him and his father.

Shinn and Blacus talk, and we fnd out that Sho has offered them a truce for now, which Balcus accepts.

Sho and Aptom search for anything suspicious that could lead them to Guyot or Apollyon and Sho Senses something 400 meters away.

Apollyon attacks Guyots secret base and wants to ask him about something. Guyver Aption interupts allowing Guyot to try and escape. Apollyon attacks and causes a massive forest fire. Guyver Aption uses a wide range freezing ability to stop it, but drains Aptom. Sho continues to chase Apollyon/Guyot in his Gigantic while Aptom recovers below.

Guyver IIF finds Aptom, but remembers somebody freezing some Enzyme 3's in the past and leaves him.

Sho and Apollyon attack Guyot and he falls off a under construction building while engulfed in flames.

Vol 32 - Apollyon and Guyver Gigantic try and corner Guyot, but Guyot has damaged a under construction building. Guyver gigantic goes Exceed mode and turns all the falling steel into a ball of steel to save the neighborhood.

Guyot gets away, and Apollyon is about to leave, but Sho grabs him. Using Li Yentsui's attack, Apollyon cuts off Sho's massive hand and teleports away.

Alkanphel and Tetsuro are playing a Zoanoid fighting game and Mitsuki tells them dinner is ready. They cannot understand "Al" but he seems to appreciate the food. A large crash is heard utside, as the hand of Sho's Exceed form crashes by where the Segawas are on the Island and disintegrates.

The remaining 2 Rogue Zoalords talk about send Guyot more units when their base is rocked by something. Guyver 3 is on a neighboring cliffside and his Libertus are firing at the base. Guyver 3 opens up and fire a megasmasher which causes the entire base to collapse upon itself.

the Zoalord emerge and transform. bald guy turns into a ball, and the other turns into the giant black creature. the ball zoalord goes into it's chest.

Guyver 3 becomes Gigantic Dark, only to have them punch him into the mountainside (see >>15291391 ). However, it is revealed that Sho has passed on he Exceed information to Agito and he becomes "Darkness Exceed".

Agito is attacked by compressed air bombs and the Giant black form seems to be made up of some kind of ash. they attempt to kill him with a gigantic super cell tornado which is destroying mountains... but it suddenly starts to disappear. Agito's hand then bursts through the chest of the Zoalords and grabs the ball zoalord.

>>15291917

The 3 newest chapters -

Agtio explains that while inside the super cell, he used the micro black hole to absorb the super cell completely.

He uses their confusion to get behind them and punch his hand through the chest and grab ahold of the ball Zoalord.

Both Zoalords are kind of panicking and the bal Zoalords air bombs are no longer as potent as they were before. Plus Agito can now sense them. the giant black ash Zoalord attacks with what look like are spikes, but Agito destroys them easily, only to see that the "eye' of the Zoalord is missing... and we see a small version of the Ash Zoalord flying away in is "Human Zoalord form".

>>15298271
it's really weird too considering Guyver used to be fairly popular here in the US

>>15306174

Eh... Not really.

From my experience, Guyver is one of the those series that got released here early and passed around. A lot of 30+ year old anime fans remember the name, or the gore/action of the 12 ep OAV or even more rarely the "Out of Control" movie.

The first live action movie was exploitation of a license and the second was more of some of the studio being fans of the series and wanted to do something better.

But when ADV decided to help fund a new anime, they were likely made up of 30+ year old fans who remembered the series somewhat fondly. Shame is, it doesn't age very well overall... And while the 2005 Anime did some good things, it did nothing to be memorable.

It needed the violent and gory action that the 12 part OAV had ( that the manga doesn't). But it instead to most, it was a fairly bland "Hero gets power to fight monsters" series that ADV was trying to push hard.

And that is the biggest issue with a series like this... It needs a catch to grab peoples attention, so maybe then they can see the plot of the series and get into that, rather than just the one thing.

So, while I love Guyver because I have read into the plot and like the story and characters... a lot of random people will just look at one episode, or volume and not care... And the fact it is a 30 year old manga that is still going, makes it a daunting task with no clear pay off yet.

>>15306205
This series, with the first movie, is what got me into anime. I've always had a soft spot for it, and it makes me sad that it always seems to be ignored and/or forgotten.

How come hardly anyone likes Guyver? Seems weird that something without anything offensively bad about it has such a small fanbase despite the cool suit designs easily grabbing someone's attention. Did that first live action movie really destroy its reputation in the west that much?

Guyver is generally well-beloved by oldfags whose experience with anime/manga doesn't go past the mid-90s, but even then they're generally only aware of the 1989 OVA.

Even the 2005 anime, which was more of a traditionally "anime" series, passed under people's radars.

Regarding old Guyver reception in the circles I ran in around the mid-late90s it seemed to be very well-liked by comics nerds as much as the waps. Like lots of the comics stores would have a GK or two of some Zoanoids if not a decent selection, as much as cool monster kits as Japanese stuff.

>>15311217
Forget it- even if they pick up where Viz left off, that's still 25 volumes they'd have to translate and print, and there just isn't that kind of demand out there to justify the cost.

Even if GA claims to be enforcing support for the official release, all their policy does is prevent newcomers and casual fans from discovering or properly getting into the series. All of the animated adaptations of the series and the official English translations of the manga end on massive cliffhangers. Anyone wanting more but not sure if they want to commit is going to find it prohibitively difficult, either by learning Japanese or spending some large amount of money.

So does a Guyver user NEED to say "Guyver" or "Bio-Boost" or whatever in order to call the armor, or do they just need to will it to happen? I figure the Guyver users (Sho in particular) just shout something to make their transformations more dramatic.

Those were released before the lockdown- originally, they were publically released (up to chapter 188), then they made you buy the actual volumes in order to get the watermarked translation, then someone threatened legal action, and that's when they went into current lockdown.

How many chapter are we behind?

Because it's not as popular as you may think. That's why.

Guyver started out as "Kamen Rider" and is now "Devilman".

>>15325168

You don't see new people really getting into Bubblegum Crisis or Guyver though. Most of their fans are pushing 35 nowadays. It's mostly because nothing from either franchise has been officially released outside of Japan in years, but still. It's hard for a big surge in fans to occur when they have to go way out of their way to see stuff.

Mutronics is painfully corny and is basically the TMNT live action show with a Guyver skin. Not even Mark Hamill could save this one from shit like the rapping nigger-Gremlin "Zoanoid."

Dark Hero is also pretty corny, but the fights are pretty well done and at least they tried to stick closer to the source material. Guyver Zoanoid is a neat design. Points for watching pre-Metal Gear David Hayter try to act.

>>15331161
How did those suits even happen? Low-budget movies usually can't adapt a license without flubbing or ignoring the original designs entirely, and usually make their suits out of foam and duct tape, making it look shit and impossible to move in... yet Guyver gets a fairly accurate suit, with all the random weapons showing up, and it moves well enough for a guy to run around kicking other suited people in it for two movies.

>>15331187
>>15331208

Oh and just to clear things up... the Chapters on the site are slightly mixed up.

184 - No title given - is the first chapter of volume 30

185 - is from the monthly manga chapters numbers and are actually from book 29 and is chapter 179

186 - Is the proper 3rd chapter of book 30... Somehow whomever uploaded that, skipped the actual manga version of 185 ( which is where we find out that Agito has kind of changed and has been humbled. Also, more naked Shizu.)

I would have liked to see some of the other, more exotic weapons like the Sonic Busters, but I imagine budget was a pretty big factor, hence why they stuck mostly to martial arts wirework and the blades aside from the big climactic Mega Smasher.

I also much prefer the suit from the second movie. The one from the first is a decent attempt, but has some issues.

>>15331466

Completely unknowable overall with the current knowledge of Alkanphels powers and if his current weakened body would effect the overall outcome.

But to speculate, since the unit boosts a normal human "the perfect weapon" by about 100 times, and the Gigantic further boosts it 10-20 times, and it was made to "fight Alkanphel"... Guyver Alkanphel, if the unit worked and bio-boosted the same way, would be something along the lines of 1000-2000x a Guyver's power.

I doubt it would actually boost THAT much, as he is not actually human, but made a leader of... But that would be the basic math.

ie, in his normal Zoalord form, with his shields at full power and severely injured, he shattered a planetoid that was bigger than the moon.

So... freakishly powerful.

I know it's been 20+ years and the original staff are all doing different things, but I really wish VIZ would pick this series back up and publish all of it.

I've been following Guyver since it first released in the US and it's always so frustrating that the VIZ never continued it. I own both the graphics and the original chapter format comics and they both end in the same place. I did start reading the manga online buy again, GA is a piece and won't let you read anything past a certain volume without jumping through unnecessary hoops...

Look on the left side of the inner circle. There's a little nick. It's not as dramatic as Lisker's massive dent, but it's there.

The Figma of the more pinkish II-F shows a scratch across the Metal. The purple one doesn't. I think the colors are backwards though, because the one from the OVA, which should have the damage, is clearly purple and the one in the manga is always shown as pink.

It's artificial, made by Chronos using data from the original Guyver II. It has similar problems to a damaged unit because it was made with incomplete data, though.

Valkyria can only use it for so long before it starts shorting out on her, especially if she overuses the suit's weaponry. It's apparently also killing her. It also shreds anything she's wearing when she activates it, though that's just fanservice.

No, they're right. Manga 2F, the pink one, has a straight line across the metal, not a scratch, to show that it's artificial. OVA 2F, the purple one, showed no real damage on the metal aside from the tiny chip you see in >>15333444, which the figure lacks. They're otherwise identical, but the OVA version was an exclusive/EX release.

Don't all the Guyvers do that?

Just boosting? No, just hers. Though the Gs don't regen your clothes -or anything in your pockets- if you take damage (or have the control medal removed).

>>15334891

There's a pretty explicit shot of one of the tendrils slowly approaching her ass, as well. It cuts away right before insertion, but it's clear what's happening.

>>15333414
to be honest, after gigantic's debut there's not that many fucked up stuff to guaranteed censoring, and since the killed zoanoids are monster-like, there's nothing to take out. as for the nude instances, there's like what? 4 or 5 moments around the unadapted 20 volumes, and almost all of them are shizu in a tube. the manga is pretty tame for anime titties, which is surprising considering who's the author.

>>15335261
>and since the killed zoanoids are monster-like, there's nothing to take out
Im pretty sure they censor that nowadays too, especially if the monsters are closer to a humanoid shape. You're right about the later volumes though, powerlevels go absurdly high, everyone that dies just turns to dust

That is the main question... If it were to function exactly the same, it'd be way too crazy. Chances are it wouldn't... but would still be a large boost in power.

Technically they aren't different at all. The only difference that was noted, was in the books that came with the 200% TV series original DVDs, and that was that Sho and Liskers units became more "defensive" while Agito's is an "Offensive"...

Which has only come up with a few small differences:

- HF Swords - Agito has 4, while Sho/Lisker/Valkyria have 2... and as a Gigantic he has 6 while Sho retains 2.

- Sonic Busters - In Gigantic form, he has 5, while Sho has 4.

The thing about Agito's Gigantic, is that it is mearly a copy of Sho's. If he had really tried, he probably could have come up with something different, but his control medal already had the information in it from using Sho's... but it only has the info of the powers he had used.

At the end of their fight in book 28, Sho transfers the Exceed and Gravity Implosion/Micro Black Hole information to Agito ( instead of stepping on him like a bug).

So Agito's Exceed is exactly the same as Sho's... Except we do not know if Sho has any other secret powers he hasn't consciously unlocked yet.

The best past of the Mega Smasher is how tearing open the pecs exposes all that slimy fleshy shit. The Guyvers have pretty good healing factors, so it's no big deal for them ultimately, but it looks like it's not -meant- to open up like that. It's an interesting detail.

The Guyver isn't exactly a suit, but it isn't exactly a bodily transformation either, kind of sitting in the middle. I've always found that really cool and I can't quite think of anything else that does quite the same thing. Maybe Marvel's symbiotes?

They threw a lot of money at the first 6 episodes of the OAV ( the second 6 were definitely lacking).

So it got great animation and music.

It's definitely part of the reason people remember it.

One of the things I liked about the 2005 anime was that it gave Lisker more time to do stuff. I know one of the big regrets Takaya had about the character was that he was killed off too quickly, so it was nice to see him stick around and be a threat longer than a single fight Sho only won through sheer luck.

Why do you people like Guvyer so much again? It's not THAT good.

>>15341727
I'm a huge sucker for sci-fi and Guyver is unique in blending flesh and tech, there's not much similar stuff out there

>>15341784

I like the setting and concept a lot. Like >>15341784, I'm a big fan of this sort of body horror biotech stuff.

>>15290555
If they are being that retarded, why don't they just pool money to pay for distribution rights and sell/publish the goddamned thing?

>>15342286

Because

>They claim it's to enforce supporting the manga and discouraging piracy, but it reeks of pompous egotism.

They don't care about making sure fans support Takaya so much as they do making sure you know they're the ones making you do it.

>>15342286
Because it's really just that easy of course.

Born yesterday were you?

I'm no fan of their system, but people making this comment always makes me roll my eyes.

>>15342286
>>15342345

And even if it were easy, there are numerous reasons why it would be STUPID to do.

1. They release the book - Some Anon scans and releases it anyway because the whole argument here is that people want it for free anyway. A lot of money wasted.

2. Assuming that dd happen, they would have to try and shut down all illegally hosted versions anyway and be a huge pain in the ass... More than people think they are already.

3. Not that popular of a series. There is no way they would ever make any money on it, and would be taking massive losses with every issue printed.

Just would not make any sense.

>>15331580
The armor freeing a human from the mind control had huge implication's. If it could free a human then it was probably cappable of releasing Zoanoids/Zoalords too and that put them on edge. Then you have Alkanphel arguing with them which he shouldnt have been able to do and by that point i'd imagine alot of 'rethinking' started up with regards to the whole project.

>>15342374
Was there ever any side material or such that elaborates more on the symbiote in the guyver unit?

While I don't entirely agree with Guyver Advocacy's way of doing things, I think it's at least understandable. The only reason they went into "lockdown mode" is because some asshole reported them to kadokawa shoten, and then kadokawa shoten threatened to take them down. So we should be blaming the asshole that reported them for this, not GA themselves

>>15342906

I've never heard of this whole GA thing happening with any other series, though. Guyver is the only manga I know of that only has one English scanlation group and the only one period that's so tightassed about it. I know there's some kind of unspoken rule among translators about not "stepping on toes," but you'd think there would be at least one other English language group out there.

>>15342959
Apparently mecha in general isn't that popular in the west and Guyver is pretty niche subgenre of it, so its not that strange

>>15342959
Only big series have more than one group working on them, moron.

We're actually lucky we got anything at all after Guyver-I, much less the two versions of II-F and now Guyver-III coming up in July.

Apparently, prototypes of Guyver-II, Gigantic, Gigantic Dark, ZX-Tole, and Murakami and Guyot's Zoalord forms also exist, but have yet to be produced.

>>15347461

Source?

Because that just seems like fan speculation.

I mean I know Max Watanabe is best friends with Takaya, but so far nothing about any further figmas after Guyver III has been mentioned.

>>15333075
It just made me wonder if the same thing happens to Sho's butthole.

>>15347461

Those were other, older Max Factory figures from years ago. The only confirmed Figma coming out any time soon is Guyver III.

Probably, doesn't the Guyver do some drastic things to your physiology whenever you put it on? >>15343314
>The lungs are degenerated during bio-boosting

>>15351438

Lungs are inefficient and take up too much room. Needs space for more organic laser emitters.

>>15351438
Degenerated has such a negative connotation,i'd say it make it obsolete

>>15351973

Except they are straight up "degenerated." As in the bio-booster breaks down the user's lungs to make room for the Mega Smasher organs. An active Guyver doesn't have lungs at all. That thing with the tubes is what they breathe from.

>>15339820
Imagine an EVA with a Guyver Unit!

>>15352433
Doesn't it say the respiratory organ is in the neck?

>>15352488
It does have a new set of lungs, and the neck part is a secondary lung.

>>15352471
It could probably bond with an angel, but are the EVAs really living things? Guyver is a symbiote after all and i imagine it needs a consciousness to control it

>>15352497
I really like this kind of stuff, even the digestive system degenerates. Is the picture legit or is it fan-made?

Not really. Agito gets fucked by a Hyper Zoanoid impaling him through the chest and blowing up one of his Mega Smashers at one point, but aside from being down one Mega Smasher, the most he gets is really fatigued. It completely heals up within a couple of hours.

Guyvers are designed to keep going as long as the Control Metal is active and where it should be. Even if the user is unconscious (or lacking most of their head), the Guyver can hold its own for a while.

>>15352564

This company called Cinemaquette is doing a 1:3 scale Guyver Zoanoid statue. They're only doing one run of 300 and they're going for like $2000 though.

They've also done a 1:1 scale bust of the Dark Hero Guyver suit and a prop replica of the inactive Unit.

>>15353124
I wonder how a Guyver Zoanoid would look like with Takaya drawing it

>>15353261

Basically Guyver-III, I'm sure. Guyver Zoanoid's basic deal is Guyver-II, but his appearance was mostly based on Guyver-III.

>>15352665

Closer to Devilman, like >>15352731 said.

The anime is total shit. It cuts so much out and the pacing is fucked. If you're gonna check out Zetman, read the manga.

What happened to Guyver-0's unit? The manga shows us that someone used the unit remover on him not long after his rampage and it returned to his dormant/inactive state. They found I, II, and III at Relic's Point and state that they're the only three true Guyver units on Earth, but who's to say there aren't more somewhere?

>>15295734
There are raws, in japanese, the only market that matters. Making 200 dudes worldwide buy the compilations is less than 1% of the first week sales.
If people knew it existed there would be a chance of getting an american release, but most aren't aware that it's still going.

If they wanted to help they could charge to get the scans and use that money to promote it or something, not making sure people won't know it's a thing.

As far as we know, it was likely taken back by the Creators. Since they were able to send Alkanphel the remover as they did, they could very likely have taken the unit back in a similar fashion.

As for if there are more units... There is only 3 known relic sites on Earth so far in the manga:

1. Arizona - Fossilized. Only the Control Spheres survived.

2. Mount Minikami - Was alive, but now destroyed. Where the known units came from.

3. China - Not shown yet, but noted to have been fossilized as well. Don't know if this has been simply forgotten, or if Takaya is planning something ( likely planning... He had the Dragonlord hinted back in book 9)

But that certainly would not stop him for adding more... But it is likely that he is winding down the manga for the finale, so it is unlikely he would extend the story that way.

+ points for using one of my fan art pics for posting though!

>>15352665

Less likely the transforming hero vs monsters bit, and more likely the aspect that is mixed in with politics and an "Evil Corporation" aspect.

And yeah, Zet does remind people of Murakami's Proto-Zoalord form.

>>15361371

I've heard rumors that the current arc will probably be the last considering each "arc" seems to be about eight or nine volumes. (1-8 are intro/Relic's Point, 9-16 are post X-Day, 17-25 are Rescue Aptom, and now we'll probably go to 34-35 before it ends)

It's hard to tell though between the frequent hiatuses and GA's bullshit. I couldn't even tell you when the latest chapter came out. It could be anywhere from weeks to years ago.
