Neo Zx-tole surviving a double mega smasher!

[Guest]

I am pretty sure I have seen this mentioned in a previous topic, however I can't remember the explanation being that clear, so here goes my question.

How is it that in the manga books Neo Zx-tole was able to survive a double mega smasher from Guyver 3? Yet in earlier books, Guyver 3 fired a single mega smasher blast at Gyou. As a result Gyou was quite badly injured, but Zx tole who took a double blast, seemed to emerge without a scratch!

This seems a bit odd to me. I can imagine that both Zx-tole and Gyuo have force shields, but I would expect Gyou's to be more powerful as he is a zoalord, a superior creation. Even if Zx-tole had been reprocessed, he's still only a hyper zoanoid, or maybe a slightly more powerful lost number zoanoid.

But even as a lost number I would expect him to have a weaker force shield than Gyou! Come to think of it, I can't even remember seeing Neo Zx-tole using a force shield in the Books!?! OH MAN Someone please help, explain!

As I understand it a Neo-Zektoll is as powerful as a Gigaintic Guyver. Furthermore N-Zektoll came after the apperance GG 1 as a response to the power that a GG represents. Also you have to remember Zoalords control Zoanoids Mentally. However Lost Number are harder to control, but you also have to remember that Zoanoids are genetically programed with loyalty and obedience to Zoalords so even though some Zoalords are weaker than a Neo Zektoll they do not worry about it's loyalty to them.

Really? I've always thought that a Gigantic Guyver could whup a Neo-Zektoll, well a Neo-Zektole could give a good fight at best but I'm sure it would eventually get beaten done by a GG.

What? Some Zoalords are weaker than Zoanoids!? I find that hard to believe but if it's true which Zoalords are that weak? I know their abilites vary but I've never thought that even a Neo Hyper Zoanoid could be tougher.

I haven't read the comic ( or seen the pictures) I've always thought that Neo Zektole survived because he activated a energy shield that was very powerful (that's what I read) and I always thought that Guyot got injured because it was after he got a blast in the face from Murakami's crystal. So I think the blast helped unbalance him and stopped him from creating his shield (or at least fully charging it. Trust me: a energy blast in the face will often screw you up for a while)

True, Gyou did receive a blast in the face from Murakami, however in the viz comic book translation Gyou himself stated that his forceshield even at full power was not enough to entirely withstand even one half of the guyvers mega smasher power!

I do agree with you about the whole Zoalord subject though. There is no way even a Neo hyper zoanoid is as powerful as a zoalord or gigantic guyver!

By the way Weltall2, Neo Zx-toll appeared before the gigantic guyver. I believe the purpose behind his reprocessing was to bring his abilities upto and beyond aptoms.

Correct 8rucel33, Neo Zektole was created before the appearance of the Gigantic and was made mainly to counter Aptom, being immune to absorbsion, etc.

Though quite powerful Neo Zektole was not as powerful as a Zoalord. Neither was he equal to a Gigantic as he was fairly easily defeated by GG1 in the Manga.

The fact he withstood G3's Mega Smashers should not come as too great a surprise, remember Neo Zektole was probably one of the most durable characters in the Manga. Consider the triple defense layer of energy shield, adaptive armour, and energy absorbsion. The adaptive armor alone can withstand multiple direct hits from a pressure cannon, which even a zoalord without their shielding would be vulnerable to. Not to mention one of the enhancements given to Neo Zektole was rapid regeneration.

Zoalords are powerful but aside from physical strength and raw power their battle forms aren't the most durable in the Manga. They rely heavily on their shields and don't regenerate quickly. Remember most Zoalords were created before the Hypers Zoanoids so their battle form was created more for power than durability.

Besides Zoalords are the generals of the Zoanoid army so they were never intended for more than an occassional battle. So are more firepower than defense.

As ll, to add to why he surived the full power megasmasher... He also had some sort of shield erected, to dissapate (sp) the energy away from his body. He wasn't shielding himself like Guyot tried to do, just pushing the energy away from him, allowing it to travel it's course, just in a slightly alterted direction.

Aptom also used this same technique while he and Guyver 3 were fighting the Enzyme 3's ( although Aptom, being less durable, lost his arms, and legs which were melted off due to him holding the Enzyme 3's in place.

Thanks for the explanation guys, that all makes good sense!

Just to elaborate a bit more..

(as i skimmed through all my books last night and don't want that to be wasted )

Gyuo was hit by only one megasmasher, true, but before that he was

1)distracted by the melting enzyme 2s

2)hit in the eyes by murakamis most powerful blast

3)being temporarily blind and completely off guard

in contrast neo zxtole knew exactly what was coming his way and had chance to prepare himself completely.

also while searching through i did notice that gyro seems to be a very weak zoalord. he got kicked around quite a bit by murakami, and agitos pressure cannon completely pulverised his chest. even normal zxtole could withstand that.
