my hardest redraw yet but looks ok to mr just wanna color it but i would ruin it, what you think guys you like?

That's correct. All of the lost numbers were just failures in reproducing the results, they don't have reduced life spans. Life spans for test type's without completed processing is a few days, but if they had stayed around for the full processing, they could live on until cronos decided to dispose them. Prototype Zoalords less then a few years because their bodies were never truly stable with a fake crystal. On the other hand, they aren't built to dissolve like other Zoanoids, they can be revived in some circumstances. The only other types that die any faster are any rushly processed zoanoids. Those die fast and dissolved because they were rushed jobs, like the Enzyme II's that fought Agito and Murakami, or the Enzyme III's that fought Aptom, Sho, and Agito. They were given only 1 processing and then sent out. I believe Zoanoids are supposed to be processed at least 3 times before they are stable. An example would be Sho's dad. Even if Sho didn't kill him, he would of died because he wasn't finished with his processing treatments.

Just to be clear, lost numbers do not have a limited life span. They are qualified successes, but no hope of duplicated results, correct? I can't recall anyone saying the lost commandos only had a few years to live. Murakami and the other protos only had a short time to live because since they were only practice for Guyot, there was no need to make sure they survived. Same goes for enzyme 1. It was an early design and a flaw with the optimization process that lead to his short life. A scientist told Guyot this and he shrugged it off, saying it didn't matter, it was only a test, and they can fix that issue in the future. I never really thought of the limited life span as a way to control someone. I always viewed it as, they left that part out because the subject in particular, was expendable, and meant to die. (protos) or cronus was doing new optimization tests to create a new breed of zoanoid, and the process was hit and miss. Some made it, some don't. (Guyot told Tetsuro this the first time they met)

In aptom's case, Barcus was meddling with his DNA for various reasons, he hoped to enhance his duplication/imitation powers for the sake of science and Zoanoid development. What Barcus didn't expect was a weakening of the telepathic links to the point that Aptom was completely free. If Aptom had not gained that advantage, he would of probably of continued to serve as Barcus servant and test subject.

lol, we'll find it out eventually. I'm sure people were anxious to find out who Guyver 3 was early on in the manga. I just think Yoshiki is trying to rally his fans.
