hey, My brother just told me that Doctor Doom made his armour with magic in tibet. I mean this could be a magic anvil and a magic hammer, right? I don't think there's any need to be mean about it. Also, they have the multiverse and other versions of characters, right? edit: I found this picture

from the very first teaser trailer, I thought those things looked like mysterio's patented special effects things. I don't doubt that there could be this multiverse thing going on and this could be an excellent way to do a lot of things like bring the x-men into hte MCU among other stuff. this could be the basis for the MCU going forwards. as for mysterio's motivations.... well he could be trying to distract nick fury, spiderman et al for some reason? one thing is for sure, if we consider homecoming, the backstory and machinations of the 'villain' should be pretty interesting.

https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/ガイバー/category/21600?sort=bidorbuy&order=a&buynow=1&translationType=1&page=3 buyee. japanese auctions. can be pretty cheap. just keep your eye on their shipping costs, there are two lots you have to pay for. to them and from them to you. I think.

Loved it. Agreed with your point of contention though. unneeded. especially... due to captain marvel and disney's attitude, anything after this is sure to be polluted with this misandry guised as feminism.

considering he was 'talking to a guy at monster con' and then 3 days later he said he 'went back to the source' I am prepare to say this is falsehood. if he got talking to the guy at a convention, the odds are low that he's have the sort of relationship where he could get a continuation of the dialogue 3 days later. and if he could, then we would definitely be getting more information from that guy. even if it is true, and i guess it could be, it doesn't mean guyver is stopping because we've been told from a few sources that takaya is in negotiations with kadokawa.
-
That is truly horrendous. thank you for composing yourself so well and not posting any upsetting images. do they still have animals in circuses ? because they definitely shouldn't and i'd like to do something to stop it if i can.
-
considering the strange point where the manga stopped, I imagine there was a point of contention that arose.
-
you can read it on twitter. the name was... watarui i think.
-
it's rude to pry too much. somebody spoke to somebody else who knows him personally and we ascertained that he is in talks with kadokawa and that is the best we're going to get.
-
I've learnt so much by reading through it again recently. I had forgotten so much to be honest. Yes I think there was at least a couple of hours to a couple of days or even a week. It switched from alkanphel fighting guyver 0, to alkanphel sitting on a rock, musing about guyver 0, and when the uranus spoke, they mentioned having conferred with the federation.
-
It's not speculation, it's in the manga, or I wouldn't have said it book 11 page 30 is one instance.
-
They have said repeatedly in the manga "alkanphel wants the guyver for himself".
-
taking a breather for 3 years? I'd say we can be plenty mad. It's pretty clear that he fell out with kadokawa over something. They probably wanted him to produce more substantial work. The chapters did become increasingly meagre.
-
yes I was surprised that Edward Norton was uncredited. I saw him and I was certain it was him right away. Alita was mindblowing... just freaking amazing. It certainly gives me hope for Guyver. it has everything going for it.

STAR FLEET!!!!! I loved the music to that! my brothers used to watch it. I don't remember much of it myself but the music was awesome and the robot was really cool.
-
Thank you for this insight. this is very interesting. They have also been working on the giant prime figures for a long time. If the Mangaka had lost interest, he would not have worked on those statues. I have also heard in the past that Kadokawa are an awkward company to deal with. Perhaps this is a situation where Yoshiki Takaya is finding it difficult to work with them?

Faviort or Currently Reading Manga
Tora Tan replied to Shin Mefilas's topic in Japanese Entertainment
It's just Dragonball for me. I'm very simple in my manga taste. Dragonball is so addictive, I can't just read one chapter. I haven't found another manga that is so addictive. -
perhaps the barrier technique is not an airtight/watertight bubble? what do we know about it?
-
I find that really interesting actually. if they could have turned that lake into a processing tank earlier, they would have. so perhaps that suggests they just couldn't do that kind of thing until recently. I just had another thought. they can't get inside relics normally. the time they did, and got the guyver units, the zoanoid melted as son as he got back outside. the one in arizona was pretty much dead. i think the pod where archanfel was found, was a very rare occurrence. I think that relic, that was shot by guyver zero was very much dying, but maybe held on for a long time and provided some sort of sustenance for that pod?
-
he said that crystals taken from archanfel were cleaved and cultivated. the crystal itself seems to be pretty marvelous. barcas maybe used archanfel's pod to do some work, or he used a well equipped chemistry lab. we had a scene in the manga where barcas was able to locate the nav spheres in arizona. I believe it was said that was the source of all his information. he could scan it for data on zoanoid production. from that, he would mainly be limited by technology available. no computers. since the process is also called 'adjustment', I think it's necessary to be able to make slight variations in various chemicals and possibly genetic engineering etc. this stuff needs complex lab equipment so over time they would have had finer control. just thinking now... the other zoalords have never seen silha so they were not processed in archanfel's pod. they needed a proper processing tank for it. they wouldn't even be able to do that without having the necessary materials science for it. they'd need vats that are strong and able to be kept adequately sterile etc. is there even anything we could compare it to? I am tempted to think of a brewery because that is a process that deals with fine biology and careful measuring of different chemicals. could we extrapolate from that?
-
Isn't it all relevant, since we are using this to ascertain if zoanoids were likely around in world war 2? in any case, I am not really trying to support or promote any idea that barcas wasn't processed, just that i think we need to accept that we can't really say for sure to what extent that technology was available based on what the manga shows. is that fair to say?
-
We haven't seen barcas even have a zoalord form, so we don't know if he was fully processed ever. I don't think we can take the appearance and abilities he shows to mean that he is a fully processed zoalord. I mean, I suppose the bare minimum had to take place to insert the zoacrystal and allow it to be used, but is that a full processing, or can you just shove it in someone's head and it's all good or can it be done with archanfels pod simply by placing them inside and adding the crystal? maybe it does a basic automatic process. but not on the level of what we see when shin transforms for example.

Personally, I like mostly shonen anime and manga. I love dragonball, naruto, my hero academia, etc. The thing about all these manga and anime I like is how the characters develop over time. When a character pushes themselves beyond their boundaries and achieve something spectacular, it just puts me into tears of joy. I grew up on pokemon cartoon too, in a house full of boys. it was hard to find anything they were willing to watch that I found interesting. al the stuff they used to watch was boring, like transformers, turtles, pizza cats, etc. I could get into the themes of them quite well and I liked some of the cool ideas, but when it came to the actual shows themselves, they were really boring. So I guess I adapted as much as I could to see the interesting parts about them. same with power rangers and super sentai etc. there are some wonderful bits of drama in these shows. Guyver has excellent drama and excellent achievement. Sho's mastery of the guyver is something to behold and the clandestine operations of cronos are so intriguing. the relationships between the different zoalords is so interesting. I'm also fascinated by the detail in the lore. I am intensely interested in biology, chemistry and engineering and there is a bit of each in guyver. the buildings that yoshiki takaya draws are very impressive. interestingly, I think there have been some other forum members who are lesbian. I am mostly, so I wonder if there is any real link there.

Ah ok, so I stayed up a bit longer... I will admit I have no basis for what I have said. I searched and I found the part that led me to make an assumption. Mr Heckaring assisted in the processing of the 12 zoalords. that is what was said. nothing more though. We don't know that Barcas wasn't processed 400 years ago. it might explain why his face is messed up and the zoacrystal never goes away. The only thing I can imagine is... their processing technology must have only ever been on the cutting edge of what we know for any given time period. I guess that means that perhaps they had zoanoids as far back as 400 years ago but they may be very crude? who can say for sure.
-
But that doesn't mean he was processed 400 years ago. What I was trying to say is that he was turned into a zoalord more recently, but he obviously had the zoacrystal for a lot longer. the zoacrystal will work without a processing tube. it did so on waferdanos. @Larz Zahn Sorry it's almost bedtime now but I can have a look tomorrow if you like?
