Does Sho's body grow when he exceeds or only the gigantic's body? I've heard about all the complications between volume and surface area which limits human body growth.

If Sho's body had grown that large, it should be difficult even to stand. Then again the Gigantic should have no problem supporting his weight either.

 

I don't think Sho's body retains it's standard human compisition in Exceed form or even Gigantus form since we know that in regular Guyver form the body is heavily altered while transformed.  So I assume similar alterations occure in the other forms as well.

We did see his arm severed recently. Didn't seem to have bone, just a flesh. I think the Gigantic Armor Exceed in the very least is like an insect in that it's an exoskeleton over muscle but no bones. 

I think that his body size stays the same, like when guyver goes gigantic, it's just an exo skeleton, the gigantic expands to the exceed.

Considering that the exceed control metal grows as well likely that everything inside is new, otherwise it would be just the standard gigantic inside the head of the exceed.

in terms of the gigantic point for point the standard armour cant really fit inside of it perfectly and reach the end of the limbs, Guyvers arms would just about reach the elbow

and even though we see gigantic perfectly wrapping around the Guyver something must happen to the Guyver for the two to meld that way.

In the gigantic dark fight at the base of the fossilised relic we saw his leg get severed and inside was meat not the standard Guyver armour.

Since the standard Guyver unit modifies its host's biology perhaps the Gigantic armor may be able to do the same. The Gigantic armor was created from the remains of the relic, so it seems to be more than just an exoskeleton. The way it acts it seems to have more in common with a typical Guyver unit. This is just speculation, but some consideration may be warranted.  

I guess it's all speculation, unless we get a data file or Yoshiki decides to give out some details

btw When XD's hand was severed Tecuro said something like: XD's body made by materializing the energy from other dimension and because of that Sho's physical body did not received any damage.

Ya know, I wonder about the whole body modifying thing. I know that the official Guyver anatomy says it does change the hosts inside. But, as far as the 2 anime series are concerned, and what I've read of the manga, not all mind you, so correct me if I'm wrong, but we never really see that part of Guyver mentioned or shown in any media.

From what I've always seen across the years, the Guyver is treated like a literal living armor. Has the body changing ever played a factor in the manga? Again I haven't read them all. But every time we see Sho transform, and the normal armor into Gigantic and then XD, it all just looks like regular armor wrapping around something.

That said, I think it would be a little....much if Sho was actually 50m in XD. The regular Gigantic armor is pretty much a power up mode for the normal Guyver, armor for armor, and then that extra armor grows.

To me, I've looked at the XD form more like a giant mecha being piloted by the normal standard Guyver. A giant exoskeleton.

But that's me, I'm just going by what I see presented in the manga and anime.

I was actually quite surprised to know that the Guyver changes the hosts insides. Before I discovered that, my only access to Guyver was the OVA, live action movies, and anime series, which just pretty much ignored all that. Especially the movies, since the whole armor storage is handled differently in those.

I always thought when the Exceed grows.....he's more of a passenger. Much like Rahxephon or Gundam. Just my thoughts though.

From what I remember, the G Unit's organism fuses with all human cells, either it be bone, skin, or nails. From there it reinforces and infuses the cells with bio energy, preserves DNA from damage and speeds up metabolism. In this way a single cell is able to regenerate rapidly without problem for regeneration, and the organisms allows the fused cell to further add enhancements for durability and power. 

It's not exactly sound science, but it does help explain several of the Guyver abilities. Of course, how an alien unit can instantly bond and unbound from trillions of human cells is absurd. If your wondering, the average human body is 70 trillion, 1 trillion per kg.
