DREADNOUGHT RETURNS!
Made a quick sketch of your characters design... Though I added the breathers without thinking... Since they are so standard in my head. But if you see the two lines coming out from the control medal, that is how I usually determine how the flow on the head sensor array goes.

DREADNOUGHT RETURNS!
If you are referring to these, then yes we did have an old tutorial. https://www.warriorguyver.com/gfa/guyver2playground/sketch/ghead1.htm https://www.warriorguyver.com/gfa/guyver2playground/sketch/guyver1.htm They are certainly old, but the basics are sound to start with, but with practice, these basics can be tailored to your own style. And yes, W'kar head designs are mostly Gigantic based. The only differences are the control medal is as large, but only in 2 segments, the head sensor array isn't as big, and the facial area is more of a standard Guyver design. Since I base them on a normal head, I tend to decrease the size of the Gigantic parts, which in turn also looks like increasing the size of the face. This way it looks more like it's a completely "original" design (on the part of the creators). For example, the two below pics. See how the Gigantic head sensors flare up and out, on the W'Kar (Fighter Guyver for reference) I shrink them down a bit and closer to the basic head structure. If you follow where the two smaller head beams go, On the Gigantic they tend to angle upwards, while on a W'kar, that area tend to be a bit more horizontal leaning, thus the whole structure of the head sensor array comes down.

It's weird to think that the original picture was from the year 2000. 22 year later it was time to update him.

Witcher Season 4 - Henry Cavill Out, Liam Hemsworth in
Well damn. Cavill is moving away from The Witcher, and Liam Hemsworth is going to take over for season 4. Not being a huge fan of the games, and the story still very early in the lore, Cavill was one of the big things about the series keeping me there. I guess I will have to see where season 3 ends to see if I will care at all to continue. Though Cavill apparently has a bunch of other projects he has lined up, mixed now with commitments to WB... It seems it was either playing Superman or Geralt... And the man of steel won out.

Yoshiki Takaya Spotted!
Once again Max Watanabe comes through and posted an image of himself and Yoshiki Takaya. Though Takaya looks very different compared to all his previous photos. Here is to hoping that his weight loss was on purpose and not because of something serious!

Help with getting into Gundam
I haven't watched it yet... But like the previous attempt... G-Reco... I don't like the character designs or the outfits designs of the characters... The mecha designs look decent though, so I will still be giving it a chance. Waiting until I get 3 episodes built up to watch all 3 and see if it makes sense at all... Unlike G-Reco... But also, old man who doesn't like a lot of newer tropes/trends with series (ie no longer the generation things are made for)... so... oh look! A cloud for me to yell at!

Deadpool 3 (Spoiler Warning!)
Deadpool 2 didn't do much for me the same way the first movie did, as I believe that one review put it properly that " Deadpool is almost too much... but the breaks in the story in the movie help you not get completely sick of his shtick." Deadpool 2 was too much and not nearly as good in my opinion ( also didn't help the kid they were trying to save was a complete ass and kind of wanted him dead). But here is to hoping that Hugh Jackman's Logan/Wolverine can help the third film find a better balance. I mean he's carried multiple X-men movies almost by himself, I am sure he will do well for this franchise.

New Chapter status?
No theory is "wrong" until proven by Takaya. Just like the theory that Imakarum is Apollyon. Some people still believe it is someone else, despite all the evidence from the books saying otherwise being pointed out to them. You can discuss and call theories unlikely or implausible... unless it is a topic that has been covered in the manga. If it has, then something can be "wrong", because the author said so.

My Guyver Figure Collection (so far)
Yeah, the Guyver in the back is actually Guyver 1 and not from the live action movies. But it's a very old kit. he is kind of hidden due to actually having his horn broken. Gotta get some glue to fix that up. There also isn't any Yu-gi-oh stuff in the picture at all... though that is not me saying I don't have any, because I do. Was a pretty big fan of the card game for a while... Though figure wise, I only have a chibi Dark Magician Girl (always loved my old spellcaster deck) I am currently waiting on getting some new glass shelves cut, as my current shelves are full... But have a ton of space in between that I can move them around to fit more... But I currently have over 6 of the glass units full, plus some extra shelves on my computer desk and on my walls... things that rage from a TON of Iron Man figures ( have always been a huge fan, even before the MCU), other Marvel Legends, lots of Gunpla, various mecha shows like Tekkaman Blade, Macross, Gaogaigar, Gurren lagann, Getter Robo, Code Geass, Evangelion, Pacific Rim, Transformers... a bunch of Kamen Rider/Sentai figures... Some video game figures from Halo, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, KOTOR, Megaman X, Zone of the Enders... But most importantly... the Samurai Pizza Cats. I... have a... LOT of random stuff from various series/genres. I still have pics from my old place of all my shelves way back from 2013... but I have added so much since then as well.

My Guyver Figure Collection (so far)
Finally got some shelf holders to compensate for the size of the Sanken Gigantic figures, so now I have a shelf to put my newer BFC figures.

New Chapter status?
Well, the person uploading them says it is their own translation. So it's the way that we have always said someone should do it if they wanted it all out there for free: Go do it yourself. It's not nearly as hard as it used to be with translation software getting better and better. But no one ever wanted to put the time in for Guyver. Now someone finally has, and the rest of the free readers can now access what they new person is posting.

Figma Guyver 1 Ultimate Edition (formerly 2.0)
Pre-order is up! https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/figma-guyver-1-ultimate-edition-10337 Just saw this image, and it seems to be legit. Guyver 1 is getting a what looks like, a completely new Figma release. Kind of makes sense when you compare the quality of the two Female Guyver 2's and Guyver 3... the original Guyver 1 Figma was pretty poor in comparison. The two big difference seems to be the megasmasher area of the chest and the head. No longer has the figma joint sticking out like a sore thumb, but the additional ab piece has been removed. The head proportions also seem to be improved. Much smaller eyes than the original figma. *EDIT* Added more pics that were found on twitter.

Why did Archanfel only choose male zoalords?
I would assume that it is because even when Guyot was chosen, Men were always only known as the stronger sex throughout history. It only makes sense he would choose male individuals who likely were succeeding in whatever field they were in when they were chosen. Remember, we're not talking decades. We're talking centuries ago when most were picked.

Is Aptom at his limit?
We know that Cronos's biggest problem with its combat types is energy usage. Including the Zoalords. This is why their Zoacrystals are basically batteries to power their own Zoa forms. This is also likely why Aptom runs out of gas so quickly, because he does not have a battery to draw from... Where the Guyver draws its energy from the boost dimension/hyperspace... Thus why it is likely a Guyver Zoalord would be so powerful. And Aptom was not DESIGNED by Barcas to do what he can do. He was designed to mimic multiple types of Zoanoids, but was always considered a failure as they always came out weaker than wanted. It was Barcas trying to perfect his idea that forced the mutation into what he became... But Barcas had no idea what he was doing and only accidentally created what Aptom now is, and only found out after Aptom told him when he was absorbing Elegan.

Max Watanabe Tweet Thread
Since Max just posted another tweet about the 1/6th scale Guyver 1 figure, I thought I would start a thread compiling older and new tweets from him regarding the Guyver figures. As of July 4, 2022, this is the latest: Max Watanabe has posted another tweet with someone air brushing the 1/6 scale Guyver 1 Figure. As well as a note about his "60th birthday Celebration" https://twitter.com/MAXWATANABE/status/1543840932394504192?s=20&t=6nhO7g1TPUWej1VP5fR0_g

Is Aptom at his limit?
I would be wary of using the Viz translation as a definite source, as the translation is not great. Most other sources just list it as "bio energy" that he absorbs along with their flesh.
-
Is Aptom at his limit?
No, that's a different type of energy. For the Blaster Tempest, Zx-tole was absorbing ambient heat/radiation from the surrounding area to charge the attack. Aptom would need more than just extra heat energy to live off of.

Back from the Dead
Welcome back. And the story went a slight bit farther than that. That is where book 32 ended, but there were 2 monthly (small) chapters after the fact... but the chapters basically just explain how Exceed Darkness escaped the super cell (Gravity implosion technique) and that Jabir ends up trying to run away, with his large ash form starting to dissipate and then showing his normal battle form on that last page flying away. And that was over 6 years ago now. Here is the 2 raw chapters if anyone wants them. They would basically equal 1 chapter in the normal volumes. I don't even have the translated chapters on the PC at the moment due to an HD malfunction. Book 33 - Chapters.zip

The Guyver Master Files Handbook
These aren't the original scans that were offered, but the scans I made of my own books for my friends. But we are all Guyver friends, yes? 😄 Vol 1. https://mega.nz/file/j0cyiZob#-yS1388R9rrDzn5efa3LmeS9T3u0FzIPRsl16shT7Zk Vol 2. https://mega.nz/file/mg9WwbqL#tVrrnBfGRLAmvsGfpCpu8JzpbzTw4TCGsWOgXtN8FE0 Vol 3. https://mega.nz/file/r5l0WBCa#_7Y1M7opBkS9VFZzcfrh0aAZPFXAlGcdffon7II3bEM

It's been five years. How would you end guyver?
No, it's all Greek based thinking. Zeus is the Child of the God Kronos/Cronus, and was the God who eventually defeated him and became King of the Gods. Just like what Agito wants to do. Defeat Cronos and take over.

It's been five years. How would you end guyver?
I've posted it before, but here is what I would do: - Guyot eventually uses the unit remover on Female Guyver 2, becomes an imperfect Guyver Zoalord. he will kill Balcus and Shin - Shizu will likely die to protect Agito, knowing she doesn't have much time left. - Apollyon fails to kill Guyot on his own and is injured. - Sho and Agito fight Guyot and with Agito's sacrifice, Guyot is destroyed - Apollyon takes the dying Archanphel and the Ark into space. - Sho lives on Whether or not the remover exists to remove Sho's unit or not I dunno... I mean our theory that the Guyver unit makes one immortal is just that, a theory.

Voltron - Legendary Defender
I actually only watched to the end of season 2. Season 2 kind of bored me too much... Then when you find out a show removes your favorite character I just didn't care. (yes Shiro came back, but that was later and I didn't care by the point).
