what if...

[Gazham]

When the host of the guyver unit dies a sudden death in battle, the unit is lost. I think we're all agreed on this fact, judging by previous posts.

But what if the host were to die of old age? I think we touched on disease in a previous post and that it's believed that it would heal/prevent illnesses.

But every creature dies a natural death eventually.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

I know that there are some theories that span from that the Unit suspended or slowed ageing altogether, to the host still ages, but when they bio-boost the armor "resets" them back to the original age in which the host and unit first bonded.

This is one of those "unknowns" of Guyver that basically is impossible to say without Takaya getting involved. There are 2 schools of thought on this and basically the both could be right.

1)      The Unit doesn’t interfere with the host natural systems -> Hence aging isn’t stopped and there is the possibility of the host simply dying of old age while the Guyver armour is in the boost dimension. This is supported somewhat by the fight with Aptom in the comics / manga that the Unit wouldn’t come to help the Host automatically when there is a life threating injury. So the question would be what happens after the hosts death? Does the unit without it’s anchor to the world simply drift in the Boost Dimension or simply reset and return to the world to be there for a new host? Impossible to say as we don’t know.

 

2)      The Unit does interfere with the host natural system -> So in this possibility the Unit does stop / slow down aging. It’s supported by the idea that the Creators / Uranus live a LONG time. So what if the key to that long life is the Unit-G? It is found that humanity might cure aging by changing one DNA key in rats so the possibility of long life without a Guyver Unit is a possibility maybe in our lifetime. So in this fiction to say a Guyver Unit might stop aging isn’t too farfetched given the powers the Unit has. We know when active the Guyver Unit turns organs off and beings in new ones while bio-boosted. The Host is changed by being a Guyver and has growths on their attached to their spine back to communicate with the Unit when it is in the boost dimension. So correcting a slight flaw in a host so it doesn’t age wouldn’t be that hard. But again, this isn’t something Takaya has confirmed in anyway.
