looks like fillers stopped and then started again. episodes 243-256 are proper story line, obtaining them now. should be interesting for a while. can't even remember what happened last though.

that looks really sweet! I would watch it for sure, but I have a hard enough time watching drama at an hour long. I end up watching anime and tokusatsu because it is half an hour. I need to somehow get myself a free hour instead of half an hour I'm still watching zenkai girl. slowly. it is really good still. got 2 more to watch i think.

last image was sketched from memory. I retouched it. let's say he was part way through transforming.

hey all, here is the colour version that I did of Kenji-chan's story that was sketched by some other person that I don't know who they are. and here is the earlier ones, as is customary.

ha ha that is cool I watched this show called 'ru pauls drag race' . somehow those men can make themselves look very beautiful. it's like an art form.

I may not end up putting a load of images in here, but i decided to make this thread for images that are just sketches and not supposed to be super amaxing amazing.

well I'll keep checking in here as always. I'll send out a tweet whenever you are ready. I'll tweet a link this thread along with a comment (115 characters), you'll need for the letter to appear in the first post in order for people to find it easily.

salkafar, I want to make sure you're getting good visibility for the work you do. do you mind if i put a link to your chapter along with the other chapters?

my view on it is, they will never base their market research on emails alone. they will use figures such as sales of manga and sales of past figures and sales of similar product lines etc. so I don't think an overflow of emails will necessarily damage their business or give them a false idea of demand. it will surely give them a clear idea of the level of interest. of course if you request it, I will always send out a message on the japan legend twitter which will also post to the facebook page and in turn our front page news feed. but depending on how quickly you want to send out emails, I could also get a message in with next months manga chapter.

I agree. I was so certain that it was imakarum after seeing that move, but now I am swaying towards what somebody else said earlier.. who was it that said that this was merely demonstrating that he was on a par with alky and imakarum? well that is what it looks more likely right now. well... we do know that imakarum has under a special procedure... so I still don't think he can be ruled out. but this is very interesting. it has re-affirmed his cold and calculating approach, everything is an analysis. like a computer. very odd. anyway, the things that stuck out to me the most... he is keenly aware that testuro and mizuki are significant people. a complete stranger would not know this in my view. sure, an outsider would be aware of zoacrystals. an agent of the creators would have that knowledge right from the offset. but would not know of the significance of these two people. he collected the solitary zoacrystals, and then went in search of tetsuro and mizuki. specifically. not shizu. not natsuki. not aptom. this person is intrinsically linked to shou. which convinces me it is imakarum. or very closely related to him. but does not seem to be imakarum as we have seen him previously. because that guy talked different and would surely have recognised at least something about aptom. hmm i don't know.

thanks cannibal, isn't it ironic that you found it just after i finished work XD

ha ha, I don't get the other but links candy is funny also, who is that character in that picture, it's the same as your avatar. i have a feeling you've told me but i forgot.

I'm a little intrigued by the relationships that are growing between meteo guy and the guy in orbit andgentarou etc. this is the first bit of intrigue I think I have seen in this series. I will always generally hate how they have made it so much like a kids show, but i think I can sort of ignore that while watching. there are some good bits.

Hey Guys, I tried contacting amika to ask about translating, but couldn't get hold of him, so I asked durendal to translate for us even though he doesn't like translating from chinese. Now Durendal has given us a translation and I have typesetted it for you. here you go - http://www.mediafire.com/?hn3g6571731daeu sorry salkafar you didn't have the opportunity to typeset this for us, durendal passed the translation to my via pm this morning. we've been talking about it, and we seem to be agreeing that a quick translation is better, rather than waiting for a japanese scan. so it should hopefully be quicker next month.

oh yes, there is a outlook sync as well. well i say that, I am not sure how outlook works. but it is one of the options when you want to add email accounts and import messages, contacts etc. that BBM is an issue, I guess you're stuck if you need to rely on that thing. I would suggest finding a different IM service but what can ya do, I guess if blackberry go under as a company, then you'd be screwed anyway.

I have my iphone set to sync with hotmail. it also has settings to sync with gmail yahoo and aol. with this synchronisation, it can use contacts and calendars. so if you stored your contacts to hotmail or gmail, you could sync that with the iphone and they would be immediately accessible. I don't really know about the ins and outs of push for email, but i can have my phone set up to get emails the second they arrive in my inbox. actually I have to turn that off because it'll wake me when i'm sleeping XD

yeah I see what you're saying. there could be a possibility that apollon had been on earth since the creators left, quietly observing. that perhaps the creators had planned to return after a set amount of time and that is why apollon is on a schedule. it's good that you mentioned the schedule, that is something that we really do need to get some form of explanation for. for the case where imakarum is apollon, what would the time limit be? I can't think of anything. I wonder though, if it turned out to be a newcomer, then what would be the point of all these hints? the use of the spiral attack was an obvious hint at imakarum or alkanfel. if it were a newcomer, then what would be the purpose of the hint? it's almost like, those kind of hints, if a red herring, is usually used for misdirection from an already existing character. it wouldn't make much sense to be misdirecting us from a character that has not even been introduced yet. in fact, if anything were a red herring, I would think that would be barcas' remark at apollon being a vanguard of the creators.

Iphone is the market leader at the moment. yes, it's no surprise that blackberry is going down after those catastrophic network outages. I used to really hate apple. I always avoided the ipod and any related stuff. but when I got The opportunity of a phone contract that gives me unlimited mobile broadband, the phone that came with it was an iphone 4. I didn't mind so much since I am aware that it is a highly developed and cutting edge technology. so I said, yes please sir, thank you very much for this highly advanced tech device. now I have been using it for a while, it is far from perfect. my last phone was probably more stable. but when I consider the leap forwards in advancement, I can understand. this is really more of a miniature computer rather than a phone like my last one. If I were you, I'd listen to the fates. the fates will win in the end anyway, won't they? even if you did become stubborn and go with the blackberry, it would probably end up as a miserable product riddled with problems.

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

Amika, it seems that this month it is not so easy to find a japnese version? I don't know because i have no idea where it usually comes from, perhaps we could have a translation of the chinese version instead for this month? what do you think?

I can't speak for everyone, but I think it would be weak story telling. Jade Tatsu made a thread about weak story telling and this was one of the concerns, apollon coming out of nowhere. I refuse to believe he could be a new player for that very reason. it would be lame, and takaya sensei doesn't do lame.

right you are. I guess it is possible he was lying or that the potential remnants of nav spheres could have been moulded into armour. but there is no disputing what he said in that dialogue.

onuma yohei

I think we talked about this before. guyver zero's megasmasher damaged the relic badly, for sure. but we have seen navigation sphere surviving a megasmasher blast without too much of a problem. imakarum, if obtained a powerful link to the navigation sphere, could have asked it to remodel itself as this armour. it's not that unfeasible. alkanfel clearly trusted imakarum a lot more than barcas, so would have allowed him more access to things that barcas would not have. that nav sphere could have been in that temple all along. shou could ask the navi sphere to create the gigantic armour, so a powerful zoacrystal could potentially do the same.
