Did we have a color pic of him yet?

[*Jess♥]

I don't think we did. reason i say that is because i don't remember thinking that the light bits between his armour were white.

so this is very cool we know what his colour is now !

wow, I missed out a lot, Apollon's design looks pretty cool. btw how do you pronounce his name anyways? is it like the greek apollo only you include the N? or is it like saying chicken in spanish? A -pollo(chicken)-n

Um... how does that work?

Ah, got it. Hmmm... lots of talking, but a little pay-off at the end...

Could that be in the Temple of Sleep?

How do you download the file. Thanks matsudo

[Super Existence]

Could whoever has successfully downloaded this reupload it to rapid share or sendspace? That Russian site is a joke.

Okay, so Natsuki's alright *whew*, but how did she survive? That's a little vague...

Finally an official color pic for Apollon.

I thought your pronounced the Greek god's name "a pollo" anyway.

Oh, here... in Greek, it is Apollon; "Apollo" is Latin, ie Roman. Since it's Chronos and Zeus and Uranus, we should use the Greek form, I think. "Ah-poll-on"?

"As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague."

I guess that's the connection. We originally assumed it was Apollyon, the Biblical Angel of the Pit who brings destruction in the book of Revelations, but of course that's a different mythology altogether...

alright thank you salkafar.

The last few pages look like Tetsuro and Mizuki were taken to the Sleeping Temple... Does any one else think that Apollon is Imakarum at this point in the story? His name blared in giant, neon letters when I saw the temple setting the Segawas found themselves in.

I love cliff hangers, but Takaya's cliff hangers are starting to kill me T-T

It's nice to finally know that Natsuki's okay, though.

I actually

I actually studied this the other day, can't remember why i was studying it but i found equivalent words for it.

for exampe, 'ro-ruon' is 'roll on'.

in the end i ascertained that it is most likely pronounced with a non extended 'O', emphasised 'L' and flat 'on'.

so sort of like 'a pole on' but more like 'a doll on'.

is interesting but a bit disappointing I wanted to see more of the clash of valkuria vs griselda

[*Jess♥]

hey cannibal thanks for posting it, and great job with the wallpapers!

I love what is going on in this chapter, it looks great to see them together there. that must be asou's house.

that temple at the end looks interesting, but I have to say, comparing it to the pictures we have seen of the sleeping temple on silha... it doesn't look like it to me.

could still be a red herring?

uy perdon

I read this a while back, trying to ascertain if he was supposed to represent apollo or apollon. what i found was that in japanese wikipedia, the katakana for apollon or apollo is different to that used for apollon in guyver. also the kana and kanji for apollon is the same as used to describe abaddon.

so it's not as simple as saying he is apollo or apollon unfortunately.

I wish it were.

I LOVE the new chapter viewer (what do you call it?).

Awesome chapter! Great to see Natsuki still alive and kicking! I'm assuming there will be some sort of rescue mission soon! Or maybe Tetsuro and Mizuki will be processed into Zoalords?

[river_chaos]

Or maybe Tetsuro and Mizuki will be processed into Zoalords?

I was thinking the same thing; that or they'll be used as a bargaining chip to get Sho's cooperation for something. Them being processed into Zoalords will certainly destroy Sho in more ways than one since they're his reason to continue fighting.

So... we're still not sure whether Takaya-san is thinking of the Greek god Apollo or the Biblical demon Apollyon?

Considering the crap Guyot is pulling, creating two new, hostile Zoalords would be a very bad decision on Chronos' part. Also: he didn't quit when his father was processed. Well, he did for a while, but he's older now. I mean, that might just piss him off so much he just goes completely bug-nuts and starts killing Zoalords left and right. And they can't count on Archanfel. Hell, Archanfel might not even be able to defeat Sho if he goes Exceed.

evidence would suggest he is thinking of the biblical figure, but I would point out that while the japanese wikipedia entry for aporuon, does redirect to the abaddon page, the page clearly references the inferred link between aporo-n (apollo) and aporion (apollyon).

my view is that takaya-sensei wants his character to be clearly associated with abaddon, BUT he wants to keep his greek references in tact.

[alkanfel009]

mmm good from this point I would like to believe that Apollyon is a character that has so long on earth as I parese alkanphel and that temple you are mizuky and Tetsuro is a temple completely different from that of alkanphel so I think I, this could be a church during the advent created for developers

well mine is only conjecture
