Guyver anotomy questions.

[*PrimalNemesis]

I have always wondered this. What exactly is the function of the organic portion of the Guyver armor? The purple tentacle things that ensnare Sho for example. Is it like a second layer of hyper dense alien muscle? How durable is it? Is that the stuff that gives the Guyver it's lifting and punching strength? Also, on the front cover of one of the manga volumes were Sho is tearing a portion of the armor away from his face is that even plausible to do? I mean could Sho really remove a certain piece of the Guyver armor if he really wanted to? These are things that have bugged me for years. I would really appreciate the opinions of the Advocacy on these matters. 

Damn it! I messed up the spelling of anatomy. Oh well. I suppose I can allow myself mistakes from time to time on this. XD

I have no idea about the purple tendrils that seem to wrap up Sho, but I would seriously doubt that Sho can tear a portion of the armour off like that. Not only would it show that the Guyver armour really isn't that strongly put together, but also because it wouldn't make sense - the Guyver armour changes Sho's proportions. It just wouldn't make any sense.

I always assumed that the first cover was just artist liberties. Something cool to look at. As far i can guess, the purple lining could simple be a liner. Sealing the body in a airtight environment. Or it could be a softer armor material. Softer to allow free range of movement while giving full coverage in protection.

since the body is completely remodelled with the guyver equipped, It is not really a covering, rather than it is his new skin.

the skin has softer more flexible parts and harder armour like parts.

the armour probably has some give, but the agility could be severely impaired if he was totally armour.

it also seemingly must act as some kind of a matrix to protect the clothes. this was suggested by what happened to valkyrias clothes. it demonstrates that the armour does something to preserve the clothes and because hers was malfunctioning, the clothes were not preserved and ended up disintegrating.

The guyver is a different shape and size from Shou so those tendril sections are really important to not only preserve his clothes but to also preserve his original body tissues.

in fact, I think it's more accurate to say that those tendril looking parts are the actual guyver and the armour is the shell. essentially, if the armour sections could be removed, the guyver would still be like that underneath.

 

the appearance is quite interesting because when we saw that image of the bioboosted parrot cross with guinea pig, it didn't appear to be all tendrils. so why does this part appear this way all over shou. the control metal must tell it to remain that way, maybe because it is the most economic way to be while allowing safe equip and removal.

i always thought that the clothes data was saved in the control metal. On that thought what would happen to items such a cell phone?

I just remembered something. And i really hate to reference this cause the American movies are... Hardly canon... But in dark hero he was able to stop a bullet with the palm of his hand.

Take that as you will, not every one goes by the movies, for obvious reasons.

does he have armour on his palms in the movies?

 

I don't think a bullet would penetrate the tendrils, I would imagine the impact would be deadened and the bullet might be brought to a stop and just fall.. that's my own feelings.

[lost unit]

It must be really tough, it could regenerate if it broken like when enzyme biten into him he didn't bleed to what i can remember and i bet all the tendrils spread and cover the wound and seal it to repair it from the inside.

 I always sort of figured the tendrils were like chainmail armor for the Guyver and the actual armor itself was like platemail over the chainmail, so the creature could breath and find speed and agility with all the armor on.

 I've also wondered this as well, about Sho removing the portion of the armor off his face, at first I was under the opinion that the Guyver was armor, but the armor was alive. I guess an example would be that it was like the armor of Ironman Sho was simply under the armor. However it was later revealed that it's more of a transformation into a whole new creation and creature. He is not a human wearing armor anymore, he is a human who has transformed into a whole new fighting monster. In that sense I don't think it's really accurate to call the Guyver 'armor'.

 More to ryuki's thought, I believe it is accurate to say that the tendrils are the Guyver creature itself and the plates are protecting it (like in it's sealed form as the Unit-G). I don't know if it has anything to do with preserving clothes or other material, I also believed that it was more of an attachment mechanism, to find a host and dig into it's cells so it could adapt to the hosts vital needs, it would be inseparable. Takaya explains the Guyver itself is in another dimension (atleast the armor is) but what about Sho's DNA? Has the tendrils changed or affected that in anyway? What about the tendrils digging under his skin? Perhaps it's also a way for the armor itself to decode information from it's hosts. There could be many uses for them.

 As far as the bullet hitting the Guyver, I think it would probably happen more so along the lines of the 05 remake when it was shot multiple times in the chest.

Speaking of Enzyme munching off Sho's arm I wonder if Sho had survived that encounter could he have regenerated his lost arm?

[Larz Zahn]

I don't see why not. When enzyme 2 scooped out the Guyvers brain, he grew that back.

It's still an armor as it's impervious to various forms of attack and offers a level of protection. It still has some of the functions of a power suit, however, unlike a power suit, there is no external support structure. The biobooster flesh itself goes into the human body and upgrades it into a battle creature, so the body itself is enhanced so it wont need an external spine for all it's extra strength and durability. The Being can survive massive pressure, impact velocity stress, impacts, powerful shockwaves, various forms of invasive attacks such as cell invasion from Aptom.

Despite corrosive substances including Enzyme blood, Guyver can rapidly halt progress of the attack and start recovery. The Enzyme or hyper would have to constantly add more corrosive to keep it effective.

Battle creatures that can tear apart a car, or even toss one like a ragdoll are almost incapable of harming the guyver other than Hyper, Enzyme, or other specialized units.

Some of you have questioned how the tentacles work, well for starters, it's used to merge with the host, it literally goes into every pore, and every substructure of the body, even altering cells such as muscle and bone to much more dexterous uses.

It can regenerate completely from any damage so long as a cell remains on the control metal. Limbs can regrow into a clone that seeks out the control metal and it's host to merge with the rest of the bioboosted flesh. The Control metal will override the clone in an attempt to merge. Speculation-This could be a good thing, should Sho die and the control metal is cleaned of organic material, the clone might reach it and potentially restore the host thanks to it's saved data.

The Guyver does bleed, but bleeding out is not an issue since animation shows the suit at least stopping the bleeding within a few seconds, even against long gashes and a bitten off arm, even a torn off brain. The only foaming and steaming shown from wounds are the result of the nature of the attack.

Correct me if I am wrong in any of this.
