I disagree. it's the zoacrystal that makes a zoalord what it is. without the crystal, they are a zoaform plain and simple. it has been made clear that zoaforms are to have a particular lifespan. the ark is to be a multi-generational ship. to suggest that cronos can encode immortality into the genetic information of a zoaform would ruin the integrity of the entire premise. on the other hand, seeing something rapidly degenerate is something we have seen plenty of in Guyver. zoanoids rapidly decompose when they get killed. the boost organism rapidly metabolises the host if the CM is removed. to see a zoalord remain all pristine and fresh when their crystal is removed, would surely be ridiculous. it makes sense to see a form of cellular breakdown occurring. if takaya sensei had not done that, it would have been insulting. the manner of cellular breakdown makes sense too. for a highly optimised and perfectly balanced zoaform, the breakdown would surely be of a normal balanced type. that of natural ageing, albeit in an accelerated form. as for the specifics of why this would occur in this way. aptom has remarked that the zoacrystal protects the integrity of the cells. if the zoalords metabolism is increased to such a high degree, the zoacrystal would protect the integrity of the cells and also provide the increased energy needed. without the additional source of energy, the body would be power hungry and would surely start to breakdown the body materials to provide energy. like starvation. instability of the cells may cause them to lose genetic information while multiplying to maintain health. this would result in rapid ageing. I actually think it's unfair to pick on guyver for using an over-used concept, when in guyver it actually makes sense. it may not make sense in other media, but in the one series where it does actually make sense, i think it should be embraced, not criticised
