...that the Guyver unit can regenerate the host at a cellular level? Why take such a bold gamble, when if it had gone wrong he was effectively handing the unit to Kronos on a silver plate and destroying a valuable ally in the process?

I don't know, there must have been better options than killing Sho and handing the Control Metal to Chronos. Case in point, they're both able to infiltrate Relic's Point to rescue Sho's dad. Agito could've used a similar strategy to get Sho inside Chronos Japan's HQ. Yes, but again: he was on a clock. Chronos was moving, and moving fast, and he didn't know his capabilities nearly as well as he does now. I mean, this was, what, days? Weeks after he became a Guyver? He couldn't have spent much time bioboosted. Transforming is a pretty explosive process, and he must have assumed that Chronos was keeping a look-out in the area for just that. Plus he was the son of the area manager! He couldn't very well sneak out, bio-boost and work out for a bit in the back yard. And would he have gotten Sho to trust him? Without revealing who he really was? "We must sneak into Chronos Headquarters together, Guyver One." Sho might have gone for it, but maybe not. Better not to give him the option. Say that it would have failed, and Chronos had obtained the control medal. They still did not possess bio-booster organism samples, unless they got some from Guyver-2 (actually I guess they must have, otherwise they could not have created Guyver 2-F's unit - but that success was years away), and Agito did not know about Guyot's plan either. In any event, it would have bought him time. In a pinch, he could have attempted to destroy Chronos Japan from within in under an hour. After all, he was surprised that Guyot was able to resist him in human form... and there were no Zoanoids besides Enzyme who could defeat him. As said, Guyver-1 was expendable... indeed, a possible threat, as he did turn out to be. After Chronos Japan was destroyed, he went out of his way to get Sho as an ally. But not before. So he was really very much playing chess. He must have felt really shocked when the pawn upgraded so fast.

Bale as best batman? debatable, Best Bruce Wayne on the other hand most definitely, I have not been a fan a of Batman since Dark Knight for some reason the over saturation of the character and the glorification of him just got me tired overall, I missed it when he was not a big Mary Sue and was actually human but that is just me. Bale did a fine Job but I could never get over his Batman voice, never could take him seriously and Dark Knight Rises did not help when they butchered my favorite Batman Villain. As for Ben Affleck, I will reserve my judgment until I see him in action, it all depends on the script, his role as Daredevil hurt cause of the script he was given and did the best he could do with what he had, now even if he nails it in Batman v. Superman it does not guarantee that the movie will be good, from the moment they announced it I have been very worried cause honestly it just feels like they are trying to play catch up with Marvel instead of doing their own thing but who knows? I might be wrong, we will see when the movie releases eventually.

I don't know, there must have been better options than killing Sho and handing the Control Metal to Chronos.Case in point, they're both able to infiltrate Relic's Point to rescue Sho's dad. Agito could've used a similar strategy to get Sho inside Chronos Japan's HQ. I'm sure there were better options. But Sho was and still is an expendable asset to Agito. Agito doesn't give a damn about Sho, what so ever. When he knew Cronos was on to Sho, he used him as a smoke screen. While Cronos was after Sho, Agito used every opportunity to go about his agenda while Richard and Barcas used their resources to attack Sho. Than, Agito's plans reach a brick wall. Cronos was going to find out that he was a Guyver when they examined him, that and Richard and Barcas already knew. So this pushed him to value Sho in other ways. But when the Gigantic came into the picture. Agito realized, Sho was expendable once again. Agito than tries to kill Guyver 1, because Agito's expendable asset,Sho realizes that fighting along side with Agito hasn't exactly been good for his health. So there's that. Agito just see's Sho as a tool, a pawn. So what ever he can get out of him, whether the plan is good or bad and causes Sho to die....well....Agito could care less. He has the Dark Gigantic, Shizu and the Libertus, and the Zeus Thunderbolt. He didn't think he needed Guyver 1, until Sho ascended it it Gigantic Red Exceed. As for Relic's Point, well they didn't have much of a point there but to work together. Agito was out of options. The point is. Agito could care less whether Sho's control medal falls into the hands of Cronos. A basic Guyver couldn't take down a Agito while he's in the Dark Gigantic. It'd be no challenge and he could destroy it easily just like Sho punched out Guyver 2. Its not a threat to him. An experienced Guyver would have to learn how to summon a Gigantic.

Sho was only a pawn to Agito. He knew because of the data based on Guyver 2 that Cronos scientists had collected. It probably didn't matter whether Cronos, or Richard in that case had the unit or not. They now have the technology to clone or make Guyver units. But they haven't managed to perfect the technology of it as Valcuria or Guyver 2 F can't keep it engaged for long periods of time.

I am going to guess that there might have been talk about it, or at least putting the characters in a fighting game or something back in 2005... But games take a lot of time, and the 2005 tv series was not the hit that they wanted. But Guyver is an old "classic" by some standards. Surely still has some popularity, right? I mean, for example, take a game called Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (which was actually brought over here). It has old Tatsunoko anime characters thrown in with Capcom characters... Including an old favorite of mine, Tekkaman Blade... but ALSO including the original Tekkaman as well. You'd think, "Hey, Guyver is just as old, and even had a new series, why not add him? or do something similar?" Probably all due to character rights. Blade was probably thrown in there because of his rights already being owned by the big parent company who was teaming with Capcom. Guyver's videogame rights are probably not part of a big parent company, and would require purchasing of the rights to be used in something. Now this could be as simple as "Too much money" or "Another company is sitting on the rights". Could be any number of reasons. Other than the fact, the Guyver never really was all that popular of a franchise to begin with.

He didn't think of Sho as an ally. At all. For the longest time. It was only recently in the Manga that he realized how bad he had gotten. He used Sho as a test bed for all the Guyvers abilities. Letting him take all the damage, and get in all the danger. With Agito's plans, if the Unit had only reformed itself as a unit, he probably put himself in a place where he could reacquire the unit if that were the case. Turns out, it reforms the host too. So he gained some temporary help, until he too betrays them later.

*edit* Apparently it DOES exist. ------------ This is why the Manga Entertainment DVDs from a few years back, have 2 different versions of the last episode. Back in the day, they only dubbed the censored/cut version, and never did the uncut episode. So when they did a dual language release, they specifically added the uncut Japanese subbed version. It is only 20 seconds of footage that was removed though.

I'm still surprised there hasn't been a Guyver video-game yet. There have been far more obscure anime/manga series given the video-game treatment, and you'd think that The Guyver would be geared for some hack n' slash action. It's not like it doesn't have a cult fandom in the West.
