why guyver changed colour.

[lost unit]

I not sure if this topic has been covered when guyver one turned into gigantic guyver why did his Armour turn yellow? and when guyver three changed into gigantic dark he stayed the same color just darker.

The reason i ask this is that im painting both models guyver two and gigantic guyver and both yellows seem the same.

This asks the question if guyver two had become a gigantic would he of been dark blue or female guyver turned gigantic would turn out to be what ?

 

Any logic on this guys.

Host personality? That's been the speculation on why each individual Guyver armor had a different color and some appearance differences. Sho's basic armor is a bluish color/appears least threatening because of his usually anti-violence personality. Lisker was stuck up and cocky, hence his armor color was gold, and his face had asymmetrical features because of the control medal being damaged, and how his cockiness and vanity would be his undoing. Agito has a dark personality and rarely if ever holds back in fights, hence his armor is dark in color (almost black) and more menacing/intimidating in appearance (spikes on head alongside the "antenna", two sonic blades per arm vs one, he also activated his Guyver unit on purpose).

As for the gigantic armors, again, Agito's gigantic armor is dark in color and more menacing in appearance because of his personality, and Sho's gigantic armor is gold because of his desire to battle evil.

I can't tell you why Val's armor is violet in color and why Gigantic Exceed is red, but I suspect it's because of Val having a similar personality to Lisker (purple has royal/regal connotations), and red might symbolize the true might of the Guyver units' potential power as far as Sho has conjured up, and why now Chronos has every right to fear for their lives if they dare commit evil and Sho is in a position to confront them.

Hope that this might help, but I'm not 100% sure if this is fully the case.

Takaya did say the color was partially based on the host. But if you look at the case of Guyver I, he had no idea or preconceptions of the guyver unit, and it ended up the exact same color as the Guyver Unit. Even in the OVa and anime remakes, it was the same color scheme as Sho's Unit, and you can see Liskar and Agito's unit before activation aslo being Sho's color scheme. 

On the other hand we did see Guyver 0 come out with a green color, not sure if her knew what the unit was before activating it. But something had to of influenced the color, and it might of been any factor in personality or views of the unit.

Takaya did say the color was partially based on the host.

 

Where and when did he say this?

We can speculate all we want, but in the end, I think the initial reason for the different colours of all Guyvers (0, 1, 2, 2F, 3) was to have a bit of variety and so that you could tell them apart (like most other series which have multiple characters in some kind of suit/armour).

 

As for why the Gigantic is yellow and not blue... Well, that's when Takaya might have come up with his 'second' reason - host personality.

[*V Guyver]

It was quoted in an interview by one of the UK based Guyver fansites. Not even sure if the site is still up, guyver.uk or something like that. 

[Aether]

maybe the yellow/ mustard /gold colour had some  something to do with the relic ship material Sho used to construct the Gigantic?....

 

also I reckon the Exceed is red because its working at full capacity- imagine the strain on something inputting so much power into a system and it not just exploding!!!

 

I say full capacity... but I still think Sho is going to grow the unit even more someday i.e expand the  XD to fight the Ark someday - now that would be BIG!

[*guyverfan]

im glad this has come up, 'cause it brings up something i was thinking about alittle while ago.

 

if the colours represent the hosts personality at time of activation. then, does this mean that lisker was thinking about having more power to defend and protect himself,friends and family from others at the time he activated his unit. since sho was thinking of these things in the crystalis and both gigantic1 and lisker share the same colour?

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

I seem to remember hearing a long time ago that The Gigantic is yellow because one of Takaya's assistants made an error with the colour. Don't know how accurate it was though. 
If Guyvers are coloured by personality, then it would maybe make sense for Sho's Gigantic to be yellow because of the fact that it was made in confidence of being able to defeat Zoalords (more specifically, Alky).

Instead of just growing bigger, I think it would be more cool if he could transform.  You know, perhaps grow wings.  Become more like an angel.  Maybe turn his legs into more of a long dragon like tail, serpentine and spiked in nature, with frequency blades emanating forth; it's tip encrusted with the crystalline Perl of laser.

[Aether]

well I would agree a change in form would be welcome for the XD XXL , but I wouldn't like to see it diverge too much from the original or Gigantic /XD design, its just too cool!!

The Guyver Gigantic being yellow was either an assistant, or someone from the production side of things.

 

I do remember that it was an accident though.

[Guyver0]

Actually if I remember correctly, Takaya based the color scheme off of the color of auras.  The pale blue that is Guyver 1 usually represents indecisiveness/neutrality, gold or yellow that is Guyver 2 I think represents divinity; like he was actually comparing himself to something akin to a god, and Guyver 3's black/dark purple I believe represents malice.

 

Guyver Gigantic was an error, but it could work in the sense that Sho is thinking the Gigantic to be some sort of divine power whereas Gigantic Dark just further represents Agito's malice.  Finally the red for Gigantic XD represents just raw power.

[Larz Zahn]

Which would make me wonder, would Agito's Guyver change if he has a serious change of heart? like if a guy who is a mass murdering psycho gets a Guyver and its color is dark our even black with sharp edges, then hr gets a change of heart never wants to kill again an all that, would his Guyver color and theme alert to fit his new.... Aura?

[*V Guyver]

I think the color is permentant. Kinda like some genetic marker for the unit after bonding. it's possible the creators had that purposely for some practical reason. If zoalords had a color thing auro after becoming zoalords, his colors would of acted off like warning signs to the other council members. 

[*ScottmanXIII]

This may be a cold thread now but after reading I found it quite an interesting topic so I hope you don't mind if I add in.

In the case of the XD I think red signifys warning and danger to those who oppose - so don't mess with me!

[TheAptomStrain]

I never looked at the Gigantic's color scheme as yellow but as an aged white or ivory. While the Gigantic Dark is Black. I think of it like the Mrk. II from Zeta Gundam. The Heroic A.E.U.G. version is white while the villanous Titans version is Black. Not saying Agito is flat out evil but you get the gist. There's a reason Exceed is red, google search "Law of Chromatic Superiority". The same could be said about Aptom while he was decidingly monstrous in appearance while he was a villain of the villains, when he got absorbed ZX-Tole's leg he gained the insectoid face (mark of his new found heroic nature) and a dark color scheme to signify his anti-heroic nature, While he was under Khan's control he reverted back to the monstrous face that composite form and trinity blast had. Omega Blast has a baby blue color schemes along with the insectoid face to complete the anti-hero to full blown hero turn.
