Guyver

Finally in my possession! There are already a number of small things I dislike about it... Minor things that you'd think on such an expensive figure would be dealt with... Things I could forgive on a $300 figure of this size. Frankly, I don't think it was ever going to be "worth" the price they charged. Though it didn't have a specific limited number like the Prime 1 statues... This is still very limited. So I guess it's still nice to say I have one at the lowest price it ever will be. Though, to be fair, it was at least cheaper than what I paid for my BFC Max Imakarum... So I guess perspective is one thing...

Hi folks, does anyone have scans of (or can scan) "Around the Guyver World", the lore and comics featured in the manuals of the original Bio Fighter Collection vinyl kits? They're the last major bit of Guyver media with important lore that I've never fully seen online. I've found a handful of scans on MyFigureCollection, and two of the manuals scanned on an old Japanese website, but we're missing a lot. Major segments include "Chronos Report with Masaki Murakami" (of which excerpts from 5 articles have been translated and included in the Master Files) which features major background lore and events for Chronos as well as Murakami himself, and "新・戦え! ガイバー野郎", a silly …

I'm re-reading the manga after more than a decade and have a few questions that I'm curious if people have any answers/theories for as I'm not sure the manga has any answers. I'm only up to chapter 140 or so (Agito is setting fire to Waferdanos and Sho just learned how to save Aptom from Cabraal's control. Where did the Zoa-crystals come from? In Chapter 80, Balcus says the crystals were by "cleaving and cultivating one of Archanfel's Zoa-crystals" into the 11. I didn't think (but didn't really give an in-depth look) that Archanfel's battle form was any different in the flashback with the creators than it did in present day (as in, he didn't seem to have additional c…

Thought you might want to see this...

I'm not usually one to copy/paste content, but I just came across this on another site.... Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guyver/s/ZxD1i0Ce3M

An interview was posted with Yoshiki Takaya, Max Watanabe and Yoshihito Kobayashi about the upcoming (very expensive) 1/6th scale Guyver 1 figure. https://animageplus.jp/articles/detail/54325/1/1/1 Nothing is said about the manga sadly. During the interview, even Takaya thinks it might be a bit too expensive... But the idea that Max Watanabe wants to make figures from Dark Hero of the Guyver and Guyver Zoanoid? That is a pretty neat!

Surprised no one has posted this yet but I just became aware of this book: https://thatdomobrien.wordpress.com/budget-biomorphs/ No release date yet but sounds like it will be exciting with never before seen photos and artwork/storyboards.

Happy X-Day everyone! It is the anniversary of the day our great and beloved Leaders of Cronos brought down the corrupt World of the past, and shone their light upon us to show us the way! Truly, we have never been so blessed to have such Divine beings watch over and protect us from ourselves! Let's give praise to our glorious Leaders, who rid the world of Hunger, War and the differences in society that kept us from coming together, and finally show that we are of one people! - This statement is approved by the Cronos Corpo…

Not quite what I was expecting "In the thrilling conclusion of the Guyver manga, it is revealed that Apollon, the enigmatic antagonist, is none other than Sho Fukamachi's long-lost twin brother, separated at birth due to a complex experiment gone awry. The brothers' destinies intertwine as they confront the truth behind their origins and the origin of the Guyver technology. United by their shared bloodline, Sho and Apollon work together to uncover the dark secrets of Chronos and its insidious plans. Along the way, they forge a powerful bond as siblings, learning to harness the full potential of the Guyver suits. The final battle sees them facing off against a co…

Images from https://www.patreon.com/papsikels/ Note these are STL files, so unless you've experince or know someone who can 3d print for you I do not recommend you buy into the Patreon. Note 2: If you're reading this after August 2023 then you've missed the Patreon month for them. It is still possible to get the STL files but they'll not be at a discount.

I've checked around a bit, and I can't find any definitive frame from the manga that shows exactly what happened to guyver 2's medal after being ejected from the suit. A lot of the earlier manga pages were pretty loose with details on smaller things like that, but... ...the animations don't explicitly show what happens, either. I always assumed it was destroyed by Sho's mega smasher, but we know later on that the guyver control medals can survive a mega smasher easily(to the point where Sho is vaporized, but his control medal isn't even singed). So what happened to it? It should be mostly intact, somewhere. It feels like Chronos would have looked for it at the s…

In my opinion I feel like it's not a bad story and setting. Young boy obtains great powers, gets thrown into a terrifying world of monsters and evil rulers, etc. It's not a deep thought, provoking story that redefines anything, but it's sure as hell fun! Even the publisher of Dragon Ball stated that there is nothing special about the story. Just characters fighting and getting stronger. Was it the gore and violence? Plenty of successful anime and manga have gore.

That right folks! Kadokawa is releasing a new Guyver artbook, that is up for pre-order on their official site, with a release date in July. Their official site in purely in Japanese, so I will keep this updated if someone finds an easier place to pre-order.

Found this on YouTube, anyone else see this?

Hello y’all. Been a big fan of your scanlations, bern a fan from days long ago when by miraculous luck I found a site that gave detailed synopsis of everything cut off from me. First the anime ended. Then the series halted. The 05 reboot was meh and I was 2x past it with the scans you guys do by then. Its one of my childhood favorites next to Vampire Hunter D 85. I’m requesting volume 32 scans. I picked up the Japanese graphic novel in a shop in NY a few years ago but was too lazy to go through the effort of posting it. I’m ready now. A true fan since the vhs days with the US Rendition dub. Got all 3 of the last pre-Figma Max Factory Guyver 1-3 figures and an Aptom C…

Is all lost with the Guyver?

Once again Max Watanabe comes through and posted an image of himself and Yoshiki Takaya. Though Takaya looks very different compared to all his previous photos. Here is to hoping that his weight loss was on purpose and not because of something serious!

Is the Omega Blast the last form of Aptom?! Personally I think "YES": It came to my mind the citation "I am the ALPHA and the OMEGA" which translated means "I am the BEGINNING and the END", we can translate OMEGA like "LAST / FINAL / ULTIMATE" so we obtain (Aptom Omega Blast Form = Aptom Last Explosive Form). I may be wrong, what do you think?

Here I write fan versions of Guyver anime adaptations. Please don't take this too seriously.

Finally got some shelf holders to compensate for the size of the Sanken Gigantic figures, so now I have a shelf to put my newer BFC figures.

Pre-order is up! https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/figma-guyver-1-ultimate-edition-10337 Just saw this image, and it seems to be legit. Guyver 1 is getting a what looks like, a completely new Figma release. Kind of makes sense when you compare the quality of the two Female Guyver 2's and Guyver 3... the original Guyver 1 Figma was pretty poor in comparison. The two big difference seems to be the megasmasher area of the chest and the head. No longer has the figma joint sticking out like a sore thumb, but the additional ab piece has been removed. The head proportions also seem to be improved. Much smaller eyes than the original figma. *EDIT* …

All of Archanfel's zoalords serving under him are male. Why did he only choose men?

Since Max just posted another tweet about the 1/6th scale Guyver 1 figure, I thought I would start a thread compiling older and new tweets from him regarding the Guyver figures. As of July 4, 2022, this is the latest: Max Watanabe has posted another tweet with someone air brushing the 1/6 scale Guyver 1 Figure. As well as a note about his "60th birthday Celebration" https://twitter.com/MAXWATANABE/status/1543840932394504192?s=20&t=6nhO7g1TPUWej1VP5fR0_g

So I went over and contacted Viz about whether they still have the rights to Guyver. Although I didn't get a definitive answer I made some progress. Thanks for writing in! Unfortunately, VIZ no longer publishes Bio Booster Armor Guyver. If you'd like to suggest Guyver to be published again in the future, we are currently accepting series suggestions over on our contact page here: https://www.viz.com/company-contact Simply select "Series Suggestion" from the drop down menu and you will be brought to a form where you can suggest any series you’d love to see VIZ publish! So I'm guessing they do? Either way I'm going put in a request via the link under Ser…

Ol' UnknownGuyver here. Long time Japan-Legend. Can someone get me up to date what is happening with Guyver post book 32?
