Zoaknight

I agree that I'm also conflicted here, Griselda is the only female zoaform we know of so it would be sad to see her go, love her design, but on the other hand, it wouldn't make sense for Valcuria to die so soon since we still have no clue what her true objective is and why she's teamed up with Guyot. So as much as I'd like to see both ladies walk away from this mess alive, it would be anti-climatic story-wise for Val to die by Griselda's hands at this time. Plus, Griselda's been disarmed of her swords and without the Libertus she's basically defenseless, her bio energy reserves are likely running on empty by this point too, so what are the odds really that Agito could get her back to Hekkering's lab in the states and heal her before she dies? Not likely ): I REALLY hope someone slaps Agito senseless for putting Shizu into this situation in the first place (his greed and ambition is gonna end up leaving him with nothing at this rate, no friends, no followers, no loved ones). Judging by Guyot's expression, I think he's worried about drawing attention to themselves, I mean, if any of the curious neighbors are zoanoids then Chronos will know of the fire he started & may investigate. So I suspect he'll want to take the Segawas and Natsuki hostage quickly and escape while Val finishes off Griselda (or at least that would be my concern if I were in their shoes, stop messing around and accomplish the mission and get the hell out of dodge). P.S. do you guys think Valcuria just stood there and withstood the explosions caused by the Libertus or do ya think she managed to evade the brunt of the blast using the Guyver's speed or flight abilities at the last second? Guyvers are tough, but I didn't think they could take a detonation that great point blank like that

I also feel badly for the situation, I am happy that you are intent to be more careful and i apologise for making you feel uncomfortable. it is very important though. I understand that it wasn't intentional but it can cause a lot of confusion and problems. as long as you try your best to avoid such things i do hope that we can move past this and discuss happily Awesome, thank you! BTW...Is there anything else to cover in regards to the ACM's design and construction? I'm at a loss for the moment lol

Yentsui's portal powers are very different from Archanfel's, who seems to be able to teleport wherever he wants in the world at will by traveling through subspace, whereas Yentsui needs to cut open a portal with those swords of his and then use that blackened eye lens of his to see the portals he creates. I wonder if it wasn't possible for Chronos to design a Zoalord who could just burrow through subspace at will like Archanfel & needed special tools to come close to mimicking his ability...I mean,Yentsui's abilities were impressive and all, but seemed to have fair amount of flaws/weaknesses, especially if his enemy figured out how his powers operated (like Agito did). To be fair, given Chronos' level of tech these days, and since we have no idea how long ago Yentsui was optimized into Zoalord, perhaps Chronos could make a superior portal master/teleporter Zoalord if they had the means to do so in the future (namely if they survive the war against the Guyvers and/or they find the time & means to do so, the missing Zoacrystals and Archanfel's health have kinda put plans to make new Zoalords on hold for the time being unfortunately XD). P.S. I'm also pretty sure the name "Rienzi" was a translation mistake, Yentsui is his real name...Though i don't know if its his surname or his first name since in China I think the custom is to state a person's family name first and their given name second.

you didn't state it as fact? so tell me exactly how this comes across that you said? I'm honestly astounded that you could write something like this in such a cavalier manner. how about i type things like this :- when guyot had sex with alkanfel, do you think he was sore? what is people reaction? "when did that happen?!" such utter disregard for separating your own ideas and canon facts is a blatant disrespect of other people. if it happens again, I will be handing out warnings. reread the manga, and separate your own ideas from canon. I am not going to fish through my manga each time you say something, to check YOUR facts. I check my own facts that should be enough for each of us. I apologize for my carelessness, it was an honest mistake, I'll be more careful next time. To be fair though, it was never my intent to offend or anger you or anyone else, I thought this was a place for casual and fun discussion and debate of the Guyver series, now that I know how seriously you take such things, I'll try to avoid such slip ups again. I don't wish to be on anyone's bad side, I merely wish to chat Guyver with fellow fans without fear of upsetting anyone.

that's interesting, but you really need to stop making these kinds of assumptions. especially since we read in the manga how barcas explains how cronos scientists constructed the ACM and his wording in no way indicates that he had a hand in it's construction. also bearing in mind that he is the head scientist of a worldwide organisation, he is a very busy man. also, old bal has been more or less second in command to alkanfel, being the oldest of all of them, venerable old man. it's actually far more likely that hekkering was in charge of the project earlier on, since he was one of the head scientists in arizona base. Well, I wasn't stating it as a fact, just making an educated guess based on what we know of Barcus and Chronos, theories and hypothesis are okay right? Hekkering was stationed at the Arizona base and specialized in Zoalord biology right? Doesn't seem likely that he'd have had a hand in the ACM Guyver's creation if it was made in a separate Chronos base, the one in Washington, plus, seems like something he'd have mentioned to Agito by now if he'd ever been part of such a project, right?

Regina's a Latin name meaning Queen, I picked it cuz I thought it sounded regal & flowed well with Alexandra. I also considered... 1) Eleanor 2) Zara 3) Keira 4) Amber

Awesome, thanks for the input and advice BTW, in your opinion, does the name Regina Alexandra sound more like a solid European name or a South American name?

Well, I just figure that since Barcus is Chronos's chief scientist, he had to have at least supervised the creation of the ACM, seems like a task he'd want to handle personally given how complex the creation of a guyver must be, not to mention all the trouble Chronos has had with Guyvers in the past (wouldn't want any of their scientists or other staff accidentally bonding to it, or have a lab accident where the bio booster organism runs wild or something). I mean, I know Chronos has other scientists, but since he's their best and brightest, it seems like he'd be the most likely candidate to be responsible for the ACM's design and construction. The ACM Guyver unit may also be a fairly recent creation given that Amniculus, the former leader of the North American branch, had no knowledge of the device's existence until Valcuria's escape. You'd think he'd have known about something as dangerous as a man-made guyver unit stored within his former headquarters if he'd still been around during its creation, so it was probably a project began sometime after he took control of the Japan Branch following the death of Purgstall. Speaking of which, how many human scientists/staff members does Chronos have left at this point? If I recall correctly, Agito convinced Hekkering to go along with his plans PARTLY because Hekkering knew any un-optimized personnel in Chronos were slowly being weeded out following the events of X-Day, i.e. no more need for staff kept in check by the threat of viral infection anymore, if they couldn't/wouldn't become zoanoids they were now being deemed obsolete.

In that case, I wonder what would make the best substitute for the space metal used for the Uranus made CMs....My first guess would be Titanium, since I thought that was the toughest alloy on earth, though Johnleprekan says that while titanium is durable, its not hard (doesn't make alot of sense to me honestly since I figure that a metal would have to be hard in order to be durable in the first place lol). Are there any other metals on earth that rival titanium? I would figure the next metal down the list would be steel, which I thought was weaker than titanium. Whatever Barcus used for the ACM, it had to be something tough that wouldn't break easily (not that a control medal is meant to be bashed or beaten given the role it plays in controlling the bio booster organism lol).

LOL, glad ya like the idea of a "Son of Barcus" character, I was tempted to do a clone of Archanfel instead, but I think alot of other writers have done that angle already, like in the Warrior Guyver & W'kar fics, so I figured a clone of Barcus would be the next best thing. A young zoalord with the mind of Dr. Barcus and his own battle form would make for a deadly combination I think, especially since curious young folk can be quite cruel. I'm torn between naming him after the Guyver Mutronics Zoalord, Fulton, or giving him his own unique name, I figure he should at least bear his dad's last name, unless there being two Barcuses would be to confusing? As for Griselda, my idea for her was that she'd be captured by Chronos & reconditioned like Murakami was, remade into Archanfel's loyal subject with an upgraded Zoaform. I mean, if there's a reason why she couldn't be given the "Imakuram treatment," please let me know (I like to cover all my bases when doing a fan stories lol). If ya really think it couldn't be done, I do like the idea of Barcus dissecting Griselda to learn how her body works and implementing her features into a new Supreme Zoalord, who in turn maybe uses her healing powers to assist Archanfel & improve his health. I agree that the Zoalords don't need to directly confront the new guyvers right away, I just figured I should have the council all figured out before beginning the tale, even had an idea in mind in which the story begins with the current council discussing world affairs & chronos's current status. As for the Guyvers, I have an few ideas for how to bring them into the story... 1) Agito & Griselda were both lost fighting Chronos, leaving Professor Hekkering behind with limited time left & with whatever resources were left behind by his former leaders. I figure he could spend his final years of life causing trouble for Chronos with a new breed of Libertus and/or Griselda type Zoalord with longevity in mind at the cost of some of their strength, his ultimate goal being to create his own guyver units from data taken from Guyver III, & bond one to one of his creations to a create a guyver zoanoid capable of crushing Chronos (at this point he just doesn't want to die knowing Chronos will triumph, he wants somesort of legacy or last laugh at Barcus). Unfortunately, a Chronos raid on his secret lab results in the Guyvers being lost, himself & most of his staff killed...But at least one Guyver unit is recovered by a young man with a real hate for Chronos, & he in turn receives help from a surviving Griselda type zoalord in his new war on Chronos (& possibly the other guyvers, depending on who acquires them). 2) Chronos discovers a new Relic Ship, containing guyver units inside & Nav Spheres for the Ark, but the Relic is targeted by one or more Anti-Chronos factions, namely Zeus Thunderbolt, Aptom, or Guyver II F (possibly all of them XD). In the case of Agito at least, I'm thinking maybe his control medal could have been damaged fighting Archanfel or Imakuram & thus he seeks a replacement unit so he doesn't end up like Lisker, but one way or another the units slip through the fingers of those who sought them & end up bonding to new wielders. If I choose Aptom or Guyver II F over Zeus Thunderbolt, they could just be looking for any edge they can find over Chronos. 3) Same as idea 2, Chronos finds a new relic ship with unit Gs inside, only Agito & Griselda are both dead like in idea 1, but Aptom, the Segawas, & Natsuki track Hekkering down in North America & convince him to convert some or all of them into Lost Number zoanoids so they can continue Sho's fight & aid Aptom on the battlefield as the new Lost Number Commandos. The Commandos target the relic, intending to take the Guyvers & use them against Chronos, but of course Fate has a funny way of working out >;3. This idea hinges on whether or not Tetsuro and company would resort to becoming Zoaforms if Sho were really dead & they were that desperate to continue the fight without being burdens to Aptom, though i suppose alternatively they could remain human & learn from Doc Hekkering before he dies, enough to help Aptom recruit people for his new commando team (a support staff as it were).

Perhaps they used metal akin to the navigational spheres of an Advent ship? I mean, I assume the Ark has those spheres too, maybe several given how much larger it is than a Relic ship. If not, then I suspect the ACM would be made of whatever would be considered the most durable metal on earth, OR, maybe somesort of Chronos made "bio-metal" akin to but not identical to Advent CMs. Even if the ACM isn't equal to the real CM or still incomplete, I'm sure Chronos would make an effort to make it as durable as possible, especially since its a prototype intended to eventually create a working complete Guyver unit for Archanfel (no way Barcus was gonna give the final product to anyone but the boss). What surprises me however, is that only ONE ACM exists as far as we know, you'd think Chronos would have made mutiple prototypes for testing on human hosts, no way they were gonna get it right on the first try and bond an untested unit to their supreme ruler afterall.

OH! So Sho was able to teleport to Japan that one time because he was trapped inside the cocoon growing into his new and improved Gigantic form, and Mizuki somehow woke him up (guess in subspace you can pick on the thoughts of others or something). But since then we haven't seen whether or not a Gigantic can carry its host at will across the globe, only that he can summon the Gigantic from anywhere to upgrade a guyver during battle.

Yeah, Sin was able to save Japan from Kahn's missiles using his beam attacks, but biomorphing too quickly exhausted him, and I imagine Sin's forcefield would have been able to withstand Agito's Gigasmasher easily if he had only been protecting himself rather than the entire building (which I suspect takes ALOT more energy to do). I suppose a slow charge time would make sense for teleport, though I dunno, it still seems like something they all would have done at one point or another if they'd had the choice of doing so. Alternatively, we haven't seen the Guyver Gigantic teleport since Sho's big flashy return during the battle against Neo Zektole, so I guess subspace travel/teleportation was a one time only deal for him at that time. Archanfel remains the only being who can freely travel anywhere through subspace without difficulty or assistance...Unless Imakuram's recent power boost granted him that ability too (and if he turns out to be Apollyon in disguise, seeking the zoacrystals for his master).

I toyed with the idea of making Archanfel a Guyver Zoalord cuz honestly that's just awesome, however, as cool as it is, its always seemed like an "end game scenario" to me, like the final boss. If Archanfel became a Guyver, NO ONE could threaten him anymore and all his problems would be pretty much solved, he'd be God King of the Universe at that point lol. I also believe that while the Guyver Exceed is powerful, that Archanfel is still a deadly match for him, I mean, if Archanfel is the strongest zoalord of all, and Sho had to struggle to kill Kahn in his ultimate form, then that means Archanfel is likely even more powerful still, a true rival for the Exceed. I figure Archanfel could beat the Exceed, but only after a major epic struggle and with the powers of the Five Fallen Zoalord Zoacrystals at his disposal to power him up further & maintain his health. I figure that after defeating his greatest obstacle, he'd spend his time picking up the pieces of his organization, his plans delayed by lack of Council members to move the Ark or the Ark itself being destroyed so he'd need a new one made, or his could end up in another dormant mode again, or require additional medical attention to remain active or recharge (I figure he'd still be top dog of the planet and better off than we've seen him before, but still not quite at full power, especially after killing Sho (thus making the hunt for new Guyvers that much more important). I compiled a list of my potential storyverse council of twelve, though i may need to drop some if ya think the Council should be short a few members for story purposes or switch them around, etc 1) Archanfel- Master Zoalord of Chronos & Ruler of Humanity 2) Imakuram Mirabilis- Commander in Chief under Archanfel 3) Hamilcar Barcus- Chief Scientist of Chronos 4) Sin Rubeo Amniculus- Zoalord of Russia, formerly North America & Japan 5) Tuatha de Galenos- Zoalord of India, formerly South America 6) Wadjet/Tamun/Cabar Mahotep- Zoalord of Africa 7) work in progress- Zoalord of Australia 8) Regina Alexandra- Zoalord of Europe 9) Griselda Onuma- Zoalord of Japan (I figure that maybe Griselda falls into Chronos hands after losing to Guyver II F, ends up being brainwashed and reoptimized just like Murakami was...Her healing powers may even be of great use to Archanfel's own poor health & help him stay active) 10) Dao Ying- Zoalord of China 11) Fulton/Michael Barcus (a clone of Barcus, has all his scientific knowledge plus a younger, stronger body, but lacks his dad's experience & may possess some other undesirable traits his dear old dad may not have counted for >8D)- Zoalord of North America 12) Calixta Cortes- Zoalord of South America As you can see, I couldn't think up a Zoalord for Australia just yet, I was seriously considering the idea of keeping Jabir and Luggnagg alive & back in the fold after having recieved a severe thrashing from the now healthy Archanfel, who maybe spares them due to the lack of inactive guyver units available to tempt them & because he doesn't wish to delay his trip into space any longer than he has too. If I do spare them, they'd be the least popular Zoalords on the Council for their past actions, pretty much blacklisted...Though I dunno if Archanfel would let them live in classic Skeletor/Cobra Commander/Megatron fashion, confident that he could thwart them if they stirred up trouble again or if he'd just kill them and get it over with even at the cost of having to delay his plans again. I also kinda wanted to add one or two more non-human Zoalords to the council like Waferdanos, perhaps a mermaid and/or werewolf Zoalord from Silha, chosen for their worship of Archanfel and ignorance of man's greed. Just dunno what Chronos branches they'd command and what their powers and names would be just yet XD What ya think so far? Thanks for your help btw River Chaos, I really appreciate the help

Got it, thanks for reminding me, though I did remember how Sho beat Agito in a battle of wills and locked him out from the Gigantic & went Exceed. EPIC Sho is a pretty tough customer

Sounds like a pretty solid plot scenario, would I wouldn't expect NASA to design a Kamen Rider belt. Its an interesting twist though, and the Cosmoids sound cool. Any monster ideas yet?

Hi everyone, this is the first time I've come to the forum to ask for help with my creative processes before, but Ryuki recommended I give this a shot so hopefully it'll work out swimmingly for everyone, instead of confusing everyone with my vague out of control Guyver daydreams XD I wish to pursue a Guyver storyline, but I can't decide on a storyline to stick with and work on. So far my ideas include.... 1) A story focusing on Guyver II F, in which instead of making a clean getaway to the airport, her car and luggage get blown away by zoanoids and she ends up having to go on the lam with Chronos U.S.A.'s strongest Hyper Zoanoids hot on her trail. Her goal? Get the hell out of the country and to Japan so she can achieve her mysterious purpose! only problem here is that I don't know how to proceed exactly, the plan is for the story to pick up shortly after Val blew a hole out the Pillars of Heaven, but I dunno how far she should get before her plan goes array, or if she should even disengage the unit before a zoanoid catches up to her, or if her identity is kept secret up til a point or not. 2) A story in which the Guyver Exceed has been defeated by Archanfel, and a new Council of Twelve has been created over the course of several years, or is in the process of being made. Sho maybe gone, but many other familiar old faces remain & continue his struggle, plus new guyvers are born to oppose Chronos once again! The problem with this storyline is that i can't figure out who to add/keep on the council & how to keep Chronos Earth Bound if Sho is no longer a threat...Like, would Archanfel's Council have to be incomplete? Or perhaps he'd have to be put back into dormancy like before? OR, would it be possible to delay his plans if the Ark were badly damaged? I mean, it only took him a YEAR to grow the Ark, so would it have to be completely destroyed to prevent him from leaving or would badly damaging the Ark be enough to delay his space pilgrimage? 3) A story in which everything that happened up to Valcuria's appearance still takes place, only now Valcuria is a loyal subject of Chronos like in the OVAs, chosen to don one of Chronos's experimental man-made Guyver units due to her skills and years of service. This time around, Chronos has created four guyver units including Val's, simply cuz it makes sense that Chronos would want to run the artificial control medals through several prototype phases before risking bonding one to Archanfel. However, as has happened in the past, everyone seems to want a piece of Chronos's tech, including Zeus Thunderbolt and Aptom! Who will end up possessing the new Guyvers? And at what cost? Sorry to dump so many ideas on you guys all at once, but I really need to pick a storyline and focus on it and would appreciate any feedback you guys can give me

It would make sense for Yentsui to create an emergency escape portal for him and his allies to use before going into battle, just in case the worse case scenario came to pass. I guess that means that.... 1) one of the Zoalords who came from Arizona to Japan has the power of teleportation, either Galenos, Jabir, or Luggnagg (the only zoalords who's powers are still a mystery at this time). It would be quite useful for Jabir or Luggnagg to be able to teleport anywhere in the world at will, being renegade Zoalords and all. I can't recall if the three rogue zoalords were seen traveling to Japan via helicopter or not. I don't think Purgstall was the teleporter though, in spite of them appearing together in a bolt of lightning. If he could teleport, then he could have caught up with Neo Zektole instantly, or have escaped or outflanked the Guyver Gigantic during their battle against eachother. 2) The Zoalord council can only teleport at will across the globe when they're altogether and can combine their powers to pull it off...Or rather, there must be at least 9 of them together in the same place to pull the teleport off since neither Archanfel, Guyot, or Barcus were with them. A combined effort as it were.

So a Guyver CAN bioboost again and be fully restored/recharged after having initially disengaged, the only drawback being that they may be vulnerable in between forms. I assume the host's stamina after disengaging the unit for a second time is another factor to be considered right? i.e. the host loosing consciousness or being physically spent/exhausted after bioboosting twice in a row? I mean, what was Sho's condition upon deactivating the unit after the instances you mentioned? Was he okay or was he overtaxed?

Yo! I've been wondering about Zoalord teleportation, namely how it works and its limits. During the Mt. Minikami Incident with the Relic, the entire Council teleported from their meeting place at the Arizona Base all the way to Japan without suffering any loss of power, and yet, after that incident we haven't seen any of them utilize teleportation again, unless you count Yentsui's ability to cut open portals in space (which seems alot less efficient than simply porting to wherever you wanna go like Archanfel does or like the Council did when summoned by Barcus to confront Guyot). I mean, I thought teleportation was one of the basic abilities common to all Zoalords, enabling them to be anywhere they may be needed, and yet we've seen many instances in which a Zoalord could/should have used teleportation to travel somewhere more quickly or to escape a bad situation. Sin traveled to Japan to meet Purgstall & Barcus via helicopter, as did Barcus during the Arizona incident when Zeus Thunderbolt invaded...Wouldn't teleportation have been quicker? Also, there have been many instances in which a Zoalord could have teleported in order to escape death or injury at the hands of an enemy. So whats the deal with that? Is Archanfel the only Zoalord who can teleport at will over great distances? If so, how did the Council get to Japan that one time? Do they have to combine their powers together to in order to teleport?

I had a feeling that was the case, probably shouldn't trust everything I read on the Guyver wiki (informative as it is in most other cases XD). At any rate, I wonder how powerful Guyot is with the Unas backing him up? Probably alot more dangerous than Murakami was as a Protozoalord, even if his full zoalord powers still evade him. Perhaps he's closer to Neo Zektole in strength?

Cool, thanks Ryuki And while I still believe she's after Sho, I agree that since Aptom is someone who's been lurking about Japan for a while now, he's another possible candidate for someone she'd be hunting for, whereas Agito is more of a stretch since she couldn't have known he was heading for Japan around the same time as herself. I think Amniculus is off the target list as well since he was actually in Washington when she stole the Unit G, so if she was after Zoalord blood she could have gone after him there and then. Regardless of who she's after, she's gonna have to fight smart and sneaky if she wants to avoid being pwned, since most of the possible target candidates are MUCH stronger than her, at least in their upgraded forms. For example, in a straight up fight between base form guyvers, I think she may have the edge over Sho & possibly Agito as long as the fight doesn't get drawn out too long, she has some killer skills! She's defeated several enemies already using skill and brains alone, and has seemingly mastered all her suit's abilities much faster than her male counterparts. BTW, sorry to get off topic here, but besides the power surge her control medal suffers during prolonged combat and the inability to reconstitute her clothes, is it true that combat while bioboosted causes her to experience a sensual rush? I'm not trying to come off as suggestive or anything, its just something I read in "The Guyver Wiki" and wanted to confirm it since I'm trying to write a story script involving her & I want my facts to be straight lol. P.S. I agree Valcuria has a future career in bioarmor modeling >;3, she certainly pulls the look off better than Sho, Lisker, or Agito XD

Well, I never stated it was for certain, or that it was a proven fact, only that I suspected that Val had a connection to Lisker given the similarities between them and the use of his old name and codeword. I realize there's still plenty of other possibilities out there, but I can't help but strongly suspect a link between the two. Plus, given the fact that Guyot is after the Segawa siblings again, likely as hostages to use against Sho, it seems to be the perfect setup for a forced meeting with Sho...And MAYBE Agito if they end up taking Griselda alive...Though we all know Agito's not a particularly loyal man & he already condemned Shizu to a short life when he had her become a Zoalord for the Libertus, so he may consider her an acceptable loss he could replace (taking hostages may not affect Agito the same way it would Sho, depends on how much he really cares for Shizu or how much hassle it would be to find a replacement for her). Whatever their game plan is, we know Guyot wants one of the two remaining original Guyvers, and that somehow his plans coincide with whatever Valcuria's objective is...He's gonna want one of those Guyvers in one piece so he can remove it and equip it, so if Val is actually after one of the two guyvers, everything would work out fine for the two of them as long as she got to kill the one she was targeting and Guyot got to take the other for himself. Worse of all, with hostages at their disposal, Guyot and Valcuria would be able to force Sho to fight on their terms, i.e. no Gigantic or Exceed Upgrade (no idea if this would work against Agito though, like I said before, so they may just be after Sho's & his team here). This is all speculation of course, just making educated guesses and theories based on how Val traveled all the way to Japan, where Sho is known by Chronos to still be in hiding somewhere, whereas Agito's a bigger long shot since she had no way of knowing he'd be visiting Japan.

Well, I get the impression she's at least in her mid or late twenties, I doubt Chronos would give the title of Inspector to a teenager. As for the connection to Lisker, I realize there's no super concrete proof of it yet, but the fact that she calls herself "Guyver II Female" instead of simply Guyver 4, AND, uses the codeword "Adapt" like Lisker did, seems like too much of a coincidence to me. I mean, why name your bioboosted form after a guyver you didn't know instead of making your own codename? Or use the same codeword as him? And I realize it hasn't been stated that she went through hyper zoanoid training, but considering how unbelievably skilled she is, coupled with the fact that she holds the same rank & position Lisker did prior to his becoming a Guyver, I can't help but suspect she had to have gone through a similar training program, and Lisker WAS supposed to be next in line for becoming a hyper zoanoid before he bonded with the Guyver instead, or at least he was in the 2005 anime (i'd have to look back at his original manga appearances to double check to see if that was still the case in the manga continuity, but I imagine Chronos wouldn't have put him through combat training if he wasn't a zoanoid candidate of somesort rather than just a bureaucrat in a suit). I know we haven't seen any female zoaforms except Griselda, but I can't imagine Chronos intends to only optimize the male half of humanity and leave the female population untapped when their goal is to bring all humanity united under their control, shrugs I admit it would be an ironic twist if she had come to Japan in search of Aptom to kill him for absorbing a zoanoid she cared for or something, especially since he saved her not too long ago.

I wonder how well Griselda will fair against Valcuria...Normally, a Zoalord is FAR more powerful than a standard Guyver, but Griselda differs from other Zoalords in that she was designed specifically to lead and support the Libertus and thus far her HF swords appear to be her only weapons, she lacks the god like raw power of the Chronos Zoalords. Basically, while she may be able to fight Guyver II F one on one in a sword fight, if Valcuria unleashes the Guyver's firepower upon her, like the pressure cannon or mega smasher, she'll be in DEEP trouble. Furthermore, Valcuria likely has much more fighting experience than Griselda, being older than her and having gone through hyper zoanoid combat training. So yeah, so far I think Guyver II F has the upperhand in this battle. BTW, I'm sure you guys have probably discussed this before, but I can't help but suspect that Valcuria is either.... 1) Lisker's lover 2) a relative of Lisker, like a sister or daughter 3) a protege of Lisker, maybe someone he trained personally, so she respects him greatly as her teacher I mean, there has to be a reason as to why she'd betray Chronos after years of supposedly loyal service (being an inspector and all), steal a prototype man-made guyver that hadn't been tested prior to her activating it, & then travel across the world to Japan, the hotspot for Guyver activity these days. She HAS to be out for Sho's blood for killing Lisker, a personal vendetta she needs/wants to handle herself, which she couldn't do as a loyal subject of Chronos, i.e. she felt only another guyver stood a chance of beating another guyver as opposed to becoming a hyper zoanoid, etc What do you guys think?
