  1. Unless those heavy metals change shape when the Zoalord transforms, the answer is 'no'. Guyot is almost one-and-a-half times as tall when he changes. Also, would those heavy metals involve his skull? Then again, his head in Zoalord form is pretty small.

  2. Well, no. Thing is, they're still organic. And organic compounds, be they carbon- or silicon-based, just outright can't be so dense that a two-meter-tall man weighs 450 kilograms. Drawing some heat energy from the environment wouldn't cut it, either. E=MC2 means that to gain one kilogram of mass, you'd have to convert the equivalent of a 20 megaton nuclear explosive to matter. I think you'd probably cause a new Ice Age if you turned into a Zoanoid that way.

  3. This is why putting an exact science unto a fictional story isn't always a good thing. The art isn't a mistake it is the data file science doesn't support what Takaya had drawn and intended. In the end you've to leave the world of the Guyver to be it's own little sudo science existence where science fact and fiction mix a little. It's not just Guyver that does this, every comic / movie / story every written does the exact same thing unless it is based on historical fact.

  4. I wouldn't over think it. The guyver isn't an all power omnipotent being if that's what you're thinking. The guyver takes on powers that deal with or are based on powers that focus on the plot and the various tropes, techniques and devices in the fictional narrative of the story. Basically, he's whatever Yoshiki Takaya needs him to be for that chapter. As you read through the manga, you'll notice that the Guyver/Sho will sometimes will be extremely super powered for a while and than he goes through a dry spell for a few chapters. Than you're going to realize that the author hasn't really given much and if you're like me..... you will probably come under the belief that the author, Yoshiki Takaya doesn't know where to take the story or how to end it. But than again does Marvel and DC really have endings? Most comic book heroes don't get one. I'd like to believe that the Guyver in his original armor is probably as physically strong as the Hulk.....and who knows in red Titan mode. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

  5. Again, using Dragonball is a poor source for comparison because they don't care about reality. At the time Goku completed his training with Roshi, he was already faster than most people can see. Physically they push that giant boulder, which was likely a few tons... but then can jump super high? Completely unbalanced as characters. So they might've been similar in pure physical strength at that point, but series like Dragonball rely on plot to determine how powerful someone actually is, or how much damage one can cause. So the scales are completely abnormal. Using Dragonball to compare most things is simply ludicrous in most cases. Even at its earliest forms. And sadly, so is the marvel universe. With all the retcons and depowers, new writers, plots etc... Spider-man can go from lifting a car over his head, to having trouble lifting one in the matter of 12-15 issues depending on what the story calls for. This is a big problem with the "western comics culture" and the way stories are done. A 6 foot tall being lifting 7 tons isn't super weak at all in its own world... But when you compare it to worlds with inconsistent power levels sure, it can look pretty terrible.

  6. Strength in Guyver is really iffy. Take the infamous image of a Gregole on X-day, lifting an Abrams tank - which weighs more than 50 tons - overhead.

  7. Does Barcas even need to eat food? I was always under the impression that Zoalords get all the energy they need to function from their crystals. Though if I had to say, they probably are unaffected.
