What happens to a hosts clothes?

[Aranor]

Just curious. When a unit first bonds with a host it is thought the control medal records everything about the host. Not being developed for humans the unit does not know the difference between host and non host. So, hy does the unit not regenerate the hosts clothes? One could say the materials are not organic but most clothing material is, or originates from. One could say it is not living organic material but neither are hair or finger/toenails or teeth. I have thought abuot the space which nerves reach but again the hair and nails thing. I have thought that perhaps the unit can sense and read a hosts aura and utilises that field as the extend of what is host and non host but clothes come pretty close to flesh and I believe would violate that. So I guess the better question is, why are hosts clothes, upon bonding, not recorded as host material?

[Juggernought]

Hair and nails are naturally produced by the hosts bodies so the unit would recognize it as being part of the organic human function. Clothes is just material, nothing that will benefit the unit and ultimately, non essential for host survival. In seeing that the unit is basically a parasite it probably analysed the clothes and realized it was inorganic anyway and just left it alone and only bonded to the body of the host.

[Aranor]

I don't know. Zeo arued that the unit should not be able to distinguish cancer as being extractable material. Upon bonding the unit should not know the difference. And if it did, the hosts clothes should be discarded each time the armor is donned.

[Juggernought]

It could also be possible that the clothes just don't matter. The organisms are inside the host anyway and to connect it to the armor it could be plausible that they could fit right through the microscopic holes of the fabric.

[Aranor]

The same could be said for hair, flesh, fat, nails, boogers. The organism does not know what is human and what is not when it bonds to a person. Perhaps later on it does we don't know.

[Juggernought]

But those are naturally made by a human's body. All the unit senses is that the human is sentient, which means it has the brain capacity for a good merging and it adapts itself to the physiology of the host. Everything on the human body operates, grows and functions as normal only at an optimum and constant healthy and battle ready state. No it doesn't know what is human and what isn't until it has bonded with one and becomes a part of the human body. Then it really knows and can differentiate between what belongs and what doesn't.

Plus I like to imagine the possibility of the unit clearing your sinuses upon activation

But honestly, I have a hard time imagining the guyver unit, being an advanced genetic machine, not being able to tell the difference between boogers and a finger.

As far as the clothes go, unless the unit is actually bonded to a pair of Fruit of the Loom undies I can't see how it could regenerate them at all really.

[Aranor]

I know clothes are not alive. Or at least none I know of. But at one time the materials in them were. Those that have not been altered by chemical means should still have some of the DNA in them from when they were being nourished. As for it not being able to regenerate clothes, it should also not be able to regenerate hair that is six inches long. A person should emerge bald. Fingernails should be short as well. Eye lashes, other hair......

[W'Kar]

Hair has DNA.

[*zeo]

Besides a lot of modern clothing is composed of synthetic materials and not just chemically treated. And DNA breaks down quickly if not preserved.

Detergent and Bleech are not DNA's friend

As for Hair and Nails, just like the scars, the unit simply restores them to the state they were in at the time of bonding. The Unit records far more than just DNA.

Not to mention our DNA contains far more information about us than you would think.

Average body hair length for example is actually part of your DNA, just like all animals our hair gets shed at specific lengths. Only our head hair really grows continuously without much shedding, at least normally.

Just like our DNA determines how tall we grow, etc.

Add that all life generates bio-energy fields that take the form and pattern of our physical form means there are other ways for the Unit to take a snap shot of the host physical form.

Hair length, scar patterns, etc can all be viewed as energy patterns and energy levels which the unit can replicate exactly when regenerating a host.

But cloths, being dead, don't produce such energy fields. They are just raw material and without a pattern to draw upon to regenerate them then the unit will have a tough time recreating them.

So in most cases the cloths get destroyed when the area they are contained is destroyed, though given time the unit does seem capable of limited regeneration of cloths but that may be due more to the host unit mental link than the unit actually doing it on its own as there are times when the host is seen with different cloths after deactivating the unit.

[Aranor]

And that was the answer I was looking for. So basically one should presume that the control medal can record similar fields/images kinda like a Kirlean photograph? Not sure if I spelled his name right. And a lot more than just the paths nerves take?

[W'Kar]

When a host appears out of bio-boost with different clothes I think it's very likely an artist oversight.

When a host appears out of bio-boost with different clothes I think it's very likely an artist oversight.

Unless the Unit responds to the host will, it is presumed that Sho was wearing his normal street cloths beneath the Chronos Soldier Uniform. So it could be the Unit just responded to the host self image mindset and destroyed just the outer clothing and left his street cloths alone.

After all not only do we have to explain how and why the unit preserves the cloths but also how much it will tolerate, as some cloths are thicker than others.

But that's just me speculating a possible answer.

[W'Kar]

Possibly. Though I find it far more likely it is merely artistic oversight. Mistakes happen.

Afterall, would you want to wear pants, shirt, socks, shoes and everything and THEN put on a Chronos uniform on top of that? That almost sounds ridiculous.

[*zeo]

Not if you want to look like an adult instead of a punk teenager trying to sneak into a top secret Chronos facility, Sho needed padding

[W'Kar]

LOL! Yeah, possibly. Doubtful, but possibly.

Though a sock in the pants should have worked fine!
