Actually I would liken it to one sculptor using different color clays to colorize the resulting sculpture versus someone who just uses a single raw material. Or a photographer using black and white film, or infrared film, double exposure, kirlian, using mirrors to reflect ghostly imaged into your shots, or the use of various color filters. Where does your idea of photography end and manipulation start? . . . You don't have to change your opinion, but just consider that the camera is just a tool for artistic expression and art is in the eye of the beholder as they say. . . Besides, those guys also do plenty of regular photography work and even regular photos can be trippy. . . The Photographer King Needs No Tripod Disclaimer: No photo manipulation was used in the taking of this image, it's just an insane lens reviewer trying to get a hernia Or this one of Tokyo...

So you don't think using techniques to express what the artist/photographer envisions as being valid if they had to do something to help create the image? Isn't that like a sculptor telling another sculptor that because they don't work on the same raw materials that the other really isn't a sculptor? I think to many photography is a method of expressing ideas and concepts. Either to capture the beauty of nature or express an idea or emotion. Since beauty is a concept just like ideas and emotions then don't you think they should have equal footing if they more or less use the same medium to express themselves? And what if some of those images weren't created with manipulation? Some amazing shots have been set up in certain studios, just like Hollywood using a painting for a background, or putting people into costumes or using props and makeup. The shot would then be just like you taking a picture, just of a subject that was directed. But as you would say this is just my opinion but I like to be fair about these things and that's my 2 cents worth.

Ah but then how do you explain all future generations? Evolution works pretty much on the same premise as understanding what will come is based on what was before it. Otherwise why would your child look like you? Why are our DNA effected by the life experiences of even our great grandfathers? Why is it important to diversify for a species to survive? If life simply follows the divine design? And wouldn't a world without random change be ultimately boring? Not to mention what then of free will if we were just designed for a function? Being cared for is a comforting thought but inversely being essentially a robot is an equally disturbing thought. However, the theory of evolution is not devoid of spiritualism. Many just believe god's plan goes down to the very atoms we're composed of that were once part of stars. Not all believe in the strictly non-spiritual interpretation, for many science is just an attempt to understand creation. So this could really be argued either way, it all depends on what you personally believe and what you consider as evidence.

Interesting, so you don't consider artist real photographers? Mind you that photo retouching has been around for over a century, my father use to do it when he took photography classes. Back in the day when the only option was film and I wasn't even a glimmer in my mother's eyes The digital age has just made it easier. . . But really, photography in all its forms is just another form of art. And there isn't just one way to do art, whatever form it takes. So I wouldn't agree that what they do isn't photography, just another way of expressing the artform of photography. It's just not the realistic form of photography, but few actually practice real. Everything from raw adjustments to taking multiple shots for increased dynamic range or collaged paranoramics are also all forms of image manipulation that is regular applied to so called real shots. There really isn't a pro-digital photographer who doesn't use manipualtion of some sort in their shots, if for nothing else than to make it look its best.

Yes, excellent work lost unit and of course durendal for the long awaited translation.

Yes, others have noticed that feature as well, the armor has definite Advent overtones. . . the only things we know for sure though is that the armor is composed of the same if not similar material as the Guyver Control Medals and Appolyon has demonstrated a range of abilities that supposedly only Archanphel could replicate. So he's either Archanphel, or some manifestation of him. . . or Imakarum. . . or a Creator agent. . . or Agito, having acquired the knowledge of the Creators from the Arizona Relic Navigation Orbs and the orbs themselves fusing to form the armor. . .

Waferdanos would probably be the best case to argue that possibility. . . compressing a forest size body to a single hairy humanoid form, without making the body so super dense that it would have to fly everywhere or risk sinking into the ground, would require some form of dimensional properties and of all the Zoalords Waferdanos may be the only one who was not processed before receiving the Zoa-Crystal, suggesting the properties it demonstrated (while in Zoalord form) are derived directly from the Zoa-crystal. However, the fact teleportation isn't demonstrated on a regular basis for any besides Archanphel suggests that this is either not a common ability or it requires so much energy that it is rarely used. . . To support the teleportation theory we can look at their conversation upon arrival, which I suggest indicates they were not together before arriving. . .

Sorry, I don't see how that was insulting? If everything breaks apart and disappears then what would you call it? Fragmentation suggest there would be something left but there is nothing left shown. . . there would be for example blood everywhere if they were just fragmented. If you still disagree then please provide examples that would indicate fragmentation?

Well, generally speaking when an object is reduced to individual atoms then it has been atomized, aka vaporized. . . Regardless of how the process is carried out, if nothing remains of the original mass then it is safe to say it has been vaporized barring energy conversion or other method of transference like how a atomic bomb translates mass into different forms of energy. The bubbling effect shown in the anime is consistent with a sonic based vaporization as organic matter would produce a bubbling effect (gasses for example) as the molecular structure of the mass is broken down and everything basically disintegrates apart before the same sonic pulses blasts the disassociated particles away until nothing is left. The energy requirements are quite high, for the sonic busters to consistently vaporize a target in just a few seconds requires the equivalent kinetic energy of about something in the order of a ton of TNT to be outputed per second. This would consistent for example with the example of G0 obliterating a whole group of zoanoids that was rushing him and G1's example of taking out a squad of vamores on the side of the Chronos building. As for energy dissipation it varies according to how the energy is propagated and whether that energy bleeds off as it is propagated. A soliton wave for example is essentially self contained and thus does not lose energy over distance and would be like the sonic pulse cannon attack shown in the anime by the two Sonic Hyper Zoanoids. The sonic busters aren't like that however and emit sonic pulses in a radiating arc, so would lose energy over distance. But the OAV example with Self Defense mode G1 grappling with Darzerb before blasting him with the sonic busters shows the effect on a Hyper is limited compared to what would have happened to a normal Zoanoid at that same range. Though both of the sonic zoanoids were also hypers, they were not the durable heavy armor type like Darzerb and Zektole. So for clarification I'm refering to the heavy armor type Hypers, since we are comparing them for guess estimating how durable the Guyver is. While many hypers are specialized, just like standard zoanoids, for specific weapons types. For comparison to the Guyver we have to group many of their attributes since the Guyver functions on multiple levels that only the Hypers appear capable of matching to a pretty good extent. Darzerb for example withstood an enhanced vamore bio-laser blast from 2nd combo form Aptom, just after he had absorbed Elegon. Considering even a normal Vamore laser blast can vaporize up to 30 cm of concrete and have been shown taking out certain tanks that Aptom's enhanced lasers clearly show Darzerb is more than capable of taking his own heat and since the Guyver can also take the heat it gives us a starting point at least to consider how heat resistant the Guyver is. Similar comparison can help flesh out other durability consideration for what the Guyver armor can withstand. The Guyver enemies for example also gives us clues, like when Khan was controlling Chaos Aptom he suggested the possibility that the Bio-Armor may survive the vibrational spear weapon he was using but it would liquidate the Guyver's soft internal tissue. So even though we are not given many specifics we can draw all these examples together to give us a ballpark idea. The anime series for example was the first to show that the Guyver armor has an adaptive reactive property similar to Zektoles, allowing it to more efficiently absorb impacts. Adding another piece to the puzzle. . . Sorry, lots to consider, writing too much again. . .

Vaporizing, using sonics, does not require specific frequency... Just raw power, your body doesn't have a specific frequency to vaporize it. You're not a single material object, density varies from your bones to your individual cells. And the same would be true of zoanoids. Only when using resonance do you have to worry about frequency, but your whole body would have to have the exact same properties throughout, but sonic vaporizing works by brute force. Basically more energy is delivered per pulse than the material can absorb or conduct, forcing the material into a higher kinetic energy state. Also we have the new anime series, in which the same scene had both Guyvers using the sonic busters repeatedly on Hyper Zoanoid Team 5. In comparison, G1 more recently in the Manga took out a whole squad of Vamores with the sonic busters (while just in his normal G1 form). While much earlier a similar scene with G0 was shown vaporizing a whole group of zoanoids that were charging towards him.

I'm aware of that, in fact it was why I originally didn't believe the claimed effectiveness of the armor (mind you I even questioned the Future Weapons Review on it), but that was in the beginning and ignores the later improvements for the final class III armor. Unfortunately the whole situation was mired in politics and the later test results from the improved model were mostly ignored, which is shame since they obviously made remarkable improvements to the design. But politics often effects the selection of military equipment, which is why I think we definitely need to establish trustworthy 3rd party testers in these matters. You are correct that the fuel gel mixture of napalm is designed to be stringy and sticky, and readily adheres to most surfaces. But even with this property that doesn't necessarily mean it'll stick to the Guyver's Bio-Armor. Adhering to most materials does not mean it'll stick to all materials! Though at 3900 degrees, assuming this is Celsius then 3900 degrees Celsius = 7052 degrees Fahrenheit, it would burn itself out relatively quickly in any case and that might make it appear like a typical flame thrower dependent on the amount of material fired. A fine spray for example will disappear very quickly for example. However I should also point out that Darzerb doesn't always directly fire the napalm onto his target, many times he just targets the ground in front of or around his target. So we don't know how sticky his version is but the Guyver has walked through this flame unharmed, which translates to prolonged exposure and thus proves the Guyver is extremely heat resistant. . . Also though primarily used against soft targets, napalm has been used against a variety of targets including tanks. Basically all materials, if heated to high enough temperatures will burn, including tank armor! Mind you normal napalm doesn't reach 3900°C and may only induce limited and probably indirect damage to a tank, dependent on how effective the tank's environment is controlled and how well everything is sealed, but Darzerb's 3900°C is closer to say what you would get from a Thermite bomb which can burn through most materials. Iron Oxide based Thermite, which is used for things like welding, burns at about 2500°C for example and can in bomb form turn a typical engine block to slag. So the more intense 3900°C should be able to damage even modern tank armor, at least with prolonged exposure since you need close to 5000°C for more instant results. In comparison you only need 1050°C to cremate a human. So nothing human would survive Darzerb's Napalm breath. The FN FAL, which was still in use during the 80's and early 90's, uses 7.62x51mm NATO rounds and is the weapon I've identified the soldier is holding in the scene shown during one of the X-Day event panels, the one that looks like Paris. Remember the Manga dates back to the mid-80's, so much of Takaya's military references would of course appear outdated now. The Air Carrier shown on X-Day for example was retired right about the time that issue came out back in the 90's. We have no way of knowing if AP rounds were used or not but a 7.62 is a heavy round in any case and would cause significant damage to soft targets regardless of type. In regards to the topic, this at the very least shows that standard zoanoids can be durable enough to withstand virtually any amount of standard small arms fire. Though not all zoanoids are equally armored, some have very little armor while the majority (at least those shown the most) appear unaffected by small arms fire. While hypers are rated for much higher durability, with some even being specifically stated as able to withstand artillery fire (as in direct hits!). In comparison the Guyver's sonic busters for example can vaporize standard zoanoids at relatively close range but have limited effect on Hypers. I would think this obvious, zoanoids are still primarily organic living beings. HE or more specifically HEIAP rounds, once a round has penetrated the outer armor layer can cause significant internal injuries as it explodes within the soft tissue areas. Since zoanoids can apparently take severe damage before dying it would be wise to use rounds that maximize damage. While incendiary rounds can prove effective with those zoaforms that use chemical based weapons. Show me one Flak jacket that will let someone survive a direct hit from an artillery shell? A Direct Hit!? Never mind bazooka, RPG's, and other similar weapons hyper zoanoids have been shown being hit by. Sorry, but it's quite a stretch taking something said to be able to withstand artillery fire and switching to surviving explosive fragmentation fall out. Whenever range is not given it is a given that the reference is to a direct hit. Never mind the definition of artillery includes all types of cannons including tanks, covering basically all types of coordinated heavy firepower, including AP, and not just the anti-personnel types. Since you are referencing Murikami's Zoabuster gun, you should note that Darzerb was impervious to it as shown in the new anime series. The weapon was only really useful against the standard zoanoids. Also something with the power of a 20mm HESH would defeat any standard issue body armor, except maybe a level IV and even then only for a single hit. A 20mm HEI And a regular size comparison between 20mm and 50 BMG's, with a golf ball for scale. The WWII HESH were much larger but they were used against tanks and other armored targets, usually killing with the conducted shock wave rather than with penetration. You'll need a lot less to handle infantry with only body armor, human bodies break apart much easier than zoanoids. It's called physics, the sonic hyperzoanoids fired soliton sonic shock waves, not resonance blasts! All sound is simply a series of shock waves traveling through the air. You need a series of shock waves timed to the resonance frequency of an object in order to destroy it with resonance. Since they were firing a single pulse at a time this is thus the same as any physical impact weapon capable of shattering steel. As for RHA, it's only relative if we are comparing to the thickness of the armor of the subject matter. In this case the Guyver probably only has about an ~1/4 to 1/2 inch of armor averaging over its body, which is about the 10 mm thickness of most armor target plates used on rifle target ranges. Yes, steel tends to be pretty brittle under stress but the force needed to consistently shatter steel, of undetermined size, thickness, and alloy density means we are dealing with a force approaching the kinetic energy level of a typical solid tank shell. Since tons of force per every square inch has to be applied faster than the steel could absorb it and to cover a mass of about the size of the Guyver. In comparison a .50 BMG API was recently shown fired through a stack of 18 hard drives, which are mostly aluminum. The round was stopped by the 17th drive and none of the drives were shattered. http://gizmodo.com/5180227/how-many-hard-d...-piercing-round Giving us a good indication that it'll take a quite a bit more than a .50 BMG to make something the size of a Guyver, and made of steel, shatter.
