I think Sho's conditions for losing the first Enzyme battle should be considered differently depending on which media of the Guyver we're watching. In the manga, only Tetsuro is watching the battle and, as far as Sho is concerned, he doesn't need to worry too much about Tetsuro because Enzyme only wants Sho. Sho's arm is bitten off only because a Cronos soldier apprehending Tetsuro distracts Sho into looking away from Enzyme. In the 12-part OVA, Enzyme seems to show some kind of super speed which allows him to bite his arm off. In the TV series, Sho just doesn't seem to be taking the fight very seriously and loses his arm very unceremoniously... (let's not get started on this version of the fight). In all medias, the loss of Sho's arm is pretty much the turning point of the fight and is followed by him getting impaled. It's pretty hard to say exactly what he did wrong/how he could've won unless you specify which media you're talking about! I would definitely say that just watching the 12-part OVA, Enzyme looks to be much stronger than presented in the other incarnations, as if there really was no hope for Sho to win. In the others it just seems that unforunate circumstances led to the fight being in Enzyme's favour

In the time Shin was found - "370 years ago", so around 1630 - Armenia was pretty much a waste land, crushed between the Persians and the Ottoman empire. ...actually, that makes sense, a young man having grown up in the middle of a constant state of war.
