YoungGuyver

Ok, I'll check your example first. Book 15... alright, that one pic in the corner does support you. The knee to foot lengths of both armors are the same length in that pic. Book 10, When the Gigantic is summoned the Gigantic is clearly full sized (no real way we can assume the Gigantic is small in that one). Page 117 of the Shonen version for reference. I'd point out how the cover page of Chapter 76 still has the Guyver armor as being so much small than the Gigantic as it retracts, but cover art is usually more artistic impression. Volume 23, page 178, we can see the Gigantic chest plate cover a whole lot more than just the megasmasher plate. The diaphram plate (I needed to call it something) covers up the entire abdominal plate. That looks like much bigger armor fitting over it. The collar is still the size of the Guyver's head as the Gigantic head armor wraps around. On to the other subject. I don't think the Guyver needs the host to generate anything. I don't think it needs to really bother with the host rna or anything. I mean, we are arguing one cell tissue generating something over another. We are forgetting that the armor is also living tissue. Not only that, but it has already shown the ability to generate some rather unique substances. Why does the armor need to grant a host the ability to generate anything new, when it itself already possesses such an ability? I know this is an old theory that I keep on regurgitating, but maybe I can phrase it better this time. What if the cells of the armor are like a super factory. The armor already seems to convert energy from the boost dimension into matter in order to regenerate the entire body-to generate the entire armor from the unit-g. The armor can generate vertually any substance. What if the parasite only hunts like Aptom for new combinations and energy? That each cell of the armor is already a super factory? A cell of the armor can 'generate' a host cell at will if it wanted to-that way the host doesn't have to worry about generating as fast (actually, with Aptom molecular accelerator and the unit-g stasis plates, acceleration fields may be within creator tech, but at least the theory is still there)

Wow, so much added since I last contributed to this. Small mistake Zeo. The Gigantic comparison to the Chrysalis (Cacoon). We have pics of the Gigantic armor plates fitting over the regular Guyver armor plates. The Gigantic plates are huge already. The Gigantic armor is not changing size, though the regular armor is, and the regular armor must be contorting, as the control metal shifts proportion in the forhead compared to the eyes in order to fit into the Duel control metal. In opinion though, I do agree that DNA is integrated for zoanoids, but there is Aptom, which suggests a library structure. Aptom can absorb the DNA of any zoanoid, and mimic absorbed zoanoids perfectly. But he has always been stuck with his same human form, which always expresses the same scar. It is as if he is absorbing zoanoid DNA, but not any new human elements. It is strange that he is sifting through it. Why would he keep the scar if he had a choice? Even if he wanted to sneek into a Chronos base, such as Relics point in order to perform an assasination or feeding frenzy (He still kept the scar hidden under his helmet). That's the whole reason for the library effect theory. Though I'm interested to see if he gets rid of the scar intentionally for any purpose- to honor Hayami in some way, or to feel as if he doesn't need it at some point for an emotional reason. I guess we'll have to see. But all in all I'm really impressed. You've really covered all you bases, and actually not presented a biased opinion at all. You've actually stated which parts are opinion. I can't believe I'm reading this. And this isn't the first post like this that I've read from you lately. This is weird.

If the armor is generating a lung, why would the human DNA have to be tinkered with? The lung is a part of the armor. It is performing a function that serves the host, but it is generated by the armor. Like an organ donor, but superior and without rejection issues. Why does the DNA have to be tinkered with in order to regress the origional lungs? When I squish a grape, does its DNA change? It's theoretically possible to manipulate organs without genetically engineering them. So the DNA is changed to store more energy? Would that be the mitochondrial DNA, or the nucleaic? Does the DNA change when a virus enters the cell (aside from what the virus is trying to do-destroy the cell for reproduction). Lots of things can enter the cell without the DNA factoring into it. Such as the element that you are trying to insert into the cell to manipulate the DNA in the first place sigh. The unit-g kind of looked like a slime monster when it first bonded to Sho, Lisker, and Valcuria. That suggests that yes, it can bond to any form. But at the same time the armor seems to have limits. It uses human muscle tissue for some reason, as if the Creators developed life on Earth with the most advanced muscle proteins already. The frequency swords run on a basic principle of vibration, they dont get more powerfull for different species, you either have them or you don't. But at the same time, there is a charge up for the megasmasher, yada yada. There are fixed stats on certain weapons, and a few variables. The power level of the boost armor mergance will depend on what the armor has to work with technologically. If a creature like Thancrus already has frequency swords, the armor can't really improve him in that area, but it might do a better job at expelling heat than his radiation fin, and might decide to add flight abilities to him. (actually, the Guyver swords are superior, but I'm trying to make a point)

Restructures it on a cellular level? We know that it restructure DNA? Where did that come from? Sorry, but no. We know that the control metal prevents the armor from absorbing the host DNA (dvd booklet). The control metal holds the parasite back. We DO know that the armor 'infuses the cells with POWER'. But define power. That might meen energy, that might meen a form of energy such as integrity field or inertial field. Or it might simply be an electrical stimulous accelerant, which would amplify the reactions in the muscle protein. That part is open to interpretation. The Guyver is probebly more like a Frankenstein. A very well made, all powerfull Frankenstein. Only without the sutures (spelling?). Don't get me wrong, we do know the armor will manipulate cellular tissue in certain instances (such as generating more muscle tissue for the host). In the end, it really wouldn't make sense to genetically modify the host. So much of the Guyver already comes from the armor. Why bother keeping the host around at all if you have to go any further? You might as well just generate it from scratch.

Aw man. Ryuki, you didn't say anything on camera. I was looking forward to hearing what your voice sounded like.

Signed

Lucky bastard. wish I could be there with you. You seriously have to tell us all about this little trip. I expect lots of picture, and some really great stories

The Gundams weren't Uber strong?

Yeah, The reporters little brother probebly will develope a relationship with the Meisters somehow. I love the new mech designs for this series so far. No more 'dog bots', or big mechanical crabs. It's too bad that they all still have inexplicable five fingers, and need to pull the trigger of their guns, but oh well. I love Exia. It's sleek, and a nice nod to the origional design. I like how instead of doing mechanical feather wings, they've got light particles that spread out. I can live without them firing bullets, its nice that the Gundams are supposed to be advanced tech. The biggest problem I had was with the second half of the terrorist story. We had all this build up in the first half, with everything being so emotional and everything, and then thud. The second half was a simple operation. That was nice. Kind of anitclimactic in my opinion. Oh well. The series is still good so far
