I can't see in the article a note of the gigantic's ability to reattach+control lost limbs, or use it's vibro blades as whips...

Differences

Whats the difference between the three different Guyver suits?

answer- the only real difference between guyvers is the aesthetics. the way they look is derived from the personality of the wearer.

Actualy, one could speculate that the differences relate to the environs in which the units were first activated. Unit 1 was activated in a clearing on a clear day by a blue lake... Unit 2 in a small lab that was seemingly lit in a strange fasion (it seems to be kept under an ultraviolet light...) Unit 3 was most likely activated in a dark room, while Unit 0 was surrounded predomentantly by a jungle-type environment.

Hm, both make sense. I mean Sho's a normal kid, and Unit 1 manifests as a fairly nomral looking suite of armor, all things considered, it fits around his form and has the basics. It's "functional." Lisker is a career soldier, yet fairly straightforward guy, and Unit 2 manifested much like Unit 1, but slightly "edgier" and with larger blades. Agito has this brooding "darl angel" mentality, waging a secret war to both free the world and to tale over himself, and Unit 3 manifests as the most gothic-looking of them all. But to answer the original question, there is no other difference. The difference between individual Guyver's is that of the host, not the unit. The unit multiplies a human hosts combat potential by a certain amount, so the effectiveness lies with the wearer. If Haley Joel Osment got his hands on a Guyver Unit, he'd be terribly powerful. But if Jet Li got a Unit of his own, he could take him down no problem. What was Tetsuo's line?

"If the unit's are the same, then the advantage goes to the better trained warrior." Or something like that, I don't remember word for word. Onikage725 18:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think the only sensible thing to say would be that Guyver units just look different from each other. I removed the bit from the article. --KJ 04:01, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

due to recent translations of the Visual datafiles book, it has become apparent that the guyver does indeed configure itself based upon the mental state of the host. this has led to minor differences in the units configuration hence giving the more aggresive agito makishima an extra pair of hi frequency swords (among other differences).

I'm very skeptical about this. Agito and Shō both seem to think it's more a question of willpower, judging from volume 24. --Kjoonlee 12:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The units themselves are supposedly identical, and the only thing stated in the manga is who is using the unit. The only significant difference between the current units. other than asthetics and minor difference in the placement of weapons, is that Guver 3 has 4 high frequency blades, rather than as all the other guyvers have134.53.180.89 (talk) 16:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kikakugaihin

the Japanese rendering of which is kikakugaihin (lit. "not standardized" or "not to specification" but is usually (and erroneously) rendered as "out of control")....................... could do with some elaboration. have been in touch with the guyver community for a LONG time and never EVER heard of this term. where did this information originate?

It comes from the manga. Murakami probably explained it to the gang near the mountain, before Guyot showed up. --KJ 03:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, he did, in volume 4, episode 26. Oswald Lisker mentions it too, in volume 1, episode 3. --KJ 04:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The soundtrack for Guyver: Out of Control (which was never realeased in the US) has the title written in English as well, and it is translated as Guyver: Unit Out of Standardized. Onikage725 11:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

The current content in the plot section isn't really a summary of the plot; it just seems like an explanation of the back-story, at first glance. --KJ 03:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Malmot

Malmot probably isn't a proper noun. It's probably a romanization of the Japanese word for guinea pig/test animal, マルモット and モルモット. (Marumotto and morumotto.) --KJ 07:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thats probably very true.. in the datafiles, he is listed as 'test type'. also, in the tv series, murakami says he was involved in the malmot project. or thats is what it sounds like. thats good information!

It comes form the English word marmot, so that's probably the way it should be spelled. Evan1975 04:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

The external links were removed. why? these are a very rich source of knowledge for people who want to know about guyver. they are necessary.

official names

the official names are printed in the original manga for many characters. YET, they keep being changed to other versions... if whoever changes them is reading this, can you please stop. obtain the oficial sources and then you will see the official names.

Agreed; however there are a few characters that have conflicting spellings. Rienzi/Li Yan-Tui being the most glaring. Evan1975 05:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yes! thats the one that winds me up the most! because I have done a LOT of research into it. it's the fault of the visual datafiles not obtaining a proper translation for it. a proper translation shows that the kana can't possibly be translated as rienzi. it is close... and I can see how it could be mistaken but thats what it is. a mistake. also another bit of evidence is the transformation call he uses when facing up to gigantic dark. the phrase he shouts is chinese.

What happens to this manga

It's been running for 21 years already. Even the much longer dragon ball took 11 years to end, Rurouni Kenshin 5 years, Samurai Kyo only 7 years. Why does the author take so long to produce this manga? In 21 years, there're only about 26 volumes. Anyone knows?

The author is very slow. The person who was in charge of Guyver at the original magazine, who is now the co-author, says Yoshiki Takaya is insanely slow when it comes to manga, and that he shouldn't have let Takaya's habits get worse. (I read this in an afterword from one of the more recent tankōbon volumes.) --Kjoonlee 07:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quality over quantity in my opinion. do you see many manga look this nice, and have this much depth? the amount of historical references is stunning and the story is always very accurate with regards to science and physics with little to no plot holes. Drag-5.

What about it? What you say is true, and I agree, but still, it's extremely too slow to have an empathy with the author. Yes, i do see mangas as you said. One of them which I can remember is Kenshin. Does anyone know how the audiences feel to ward the slowliness of this manga? --S--

I don't know if there's previous research on that which we can use.

<true story>The ex-editor (now co-author) told Takaya that he'd give him a slot for a love comedy if he finished Guyver. I told that to my friend and he said, "Wow, he must really hate love comedies."</true story> --Kjoonlee 11:42, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Korean translation of volume 20 says, "이번에 우리 덕간서점에서 소년지를 발행하는데 「가면라이더」같은 만화를 그려주게. 그게 싫증이 나면 바로 중단하고 러브 코믹을 그리게 해 줄테니까". In English, it's "Tokuma Shoten is going to publish a shōnen magazine; draw us a manga like Kamen Rider. If you get tired of that, we'll let you stop right away and let you draw a love comedy." --Kjoonlee 06:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OT question here, but as a keen reader of the manga, which is one of the last I'm still "actively" following, I feel bad about its slowliness: everything else apart, I now have a severe and rare tumor, and you can easily understand that a single manga is the very least of my problems. Yet, I feel upset that amongst all other things I may risk not to see the end of it... --Blazar.writeto() 19:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the "slowness" is due to the fact it's only published monthly, not weekly like most of the manga known to western audiences. Evan1975 04:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Note Removal

Currently, the Notes contain this line it in:

Guyver is commonly known as "awesome as hell robot shit"

Seeing as it's purely POV, removal of it would be prudent for one capable of doing such. The Chibi Kiriyama

looks like somebody already did it.Drag-5 17:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zoalord country locations??

first off, it is a fact that cablarl khans area of command is saudi arabia. other than that we have no confirmed area of command for the other zoalords. add to that the fact that areas of command actually change throughout the manga. (example being shin moving to japan after purgstals defeat) where did this information come from? I strongly believe that it is simply speculation. in which case it does not belong here. Drag-5 19:02, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's all in the Visual Files. Some stuff has changed since it was published. Evan1975 05:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link - the guyver solution

whoever keeps putting this link in, please do not do so. it is not useful for anybody looking for information on guyver. in time, the site may become a good resource, but as of this time, it is FAR from finished. it is a waste of time for anybody that follows that link. Drag-5 16:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tumorous growths on hosts back

These things serve as some kind of telepathic link, but it is unclear to what extent the hosts can communicate with them. we do not know for sure wether they can have full blown conversations or simply convey basic emotions or needs such as 'help me'. Drag-5 15:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New aptom form - september 2007

The possibility that aptom obtained cablarls DNA is next to zero since kablarl did not alter the DNA of teh zoanoids in that huge body. this was clear when looking at the cross section of teh bits guyver cut off. the zoanoids were still present and it seems cablarls power is to meld their bodies freely buit his DNA would have stayed in hi core body. regardless of this, cablarl was preventing aptom from assimilating him with the control of his zoacrystal. even after taking all of that into account, when looking at aptoms new form.... if we copare this to any of cablarls forms, we see no real comparison of any shapes. the orb type structures look completelt different, there are no identifiable features from the brain form or the dragonic burst mode. therefore it is highly unlikely that aptom obtained any genetic material from cablarl. it is possible, but there is nothing that suggests this. anything else would be pure assumption. Drag-5 12:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC) This in and of itself is still assumption. We know Aptom survived by escaping the same way Calbarl did. Besides the report says that he obtained powers from several different Zoanoids during his time in Calbarl, it is equally as likely that he obtaind calbarl's DNA as he didn't. As of now we don't have enough information to even suggest either, it is a perfectly 50 50 situation based entirely on the Wikisin of speculation. As a matter of fact it shouldn't even be mentioned in he actual article.Adroa (talk) 21:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

external links

many of the sites in the external links contain certain amounts of questionable copyright violation. many include scanned images and full pages from the guyver manga. if one of these sites should be removed then it should not be limited to that one alone. that particular site is the most accurate source of information available due to translation projects direct from the source language. that site is protecting copyright where it can by way of a passwords system that requires users to own the original manga before accessing the translations. therefore it should not be removed unless all sites of a similar nature be removed. that would leave only the top 3 links.

guyver dj

guyver dj is a relevant use for the term guyver. wether or not there is a wikipedia page for this, it needs to be included so that in future a page will be created. this is in the spirit of wikipedia and expanding the knowledge base. there are many things that are mentioned in wikipedia that do not have a page. just because there is no page is NO REASON for factual information to be ommitted. Drag-5 (talk) 01:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No it is not, there is no reason for such a person to be includded, otherwise I myself should be includded for any artilce for Doktor, as this is a name that I personally go by in my career! the pseudoname of a dj isn't notable enough to be added! Doktor Wilhelm 01:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that is not a matter of opinion or debate. if a person see fit to add your name to a page then it is entirely relevant. it is fact, it exists so it beliongs. wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a palce for personal opinion. guyver teh DJ exhists and by removing it from the article you are denying the existance of him. Drag-5 (talk) 01:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"you are denying the existance of him" yes, I guess I am! Just because someone uses a name, doesn't mean they have anyplace in a encyclopedia! For all anyone knows, you could be self referencing! Doktor Wilhelm 01:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not for you to decide who has a place in an encyclopedia. information exhists on this person and so if information is available it should be referenced. for example http://www.harderfaster.net/text/features/10410 Drag-5 (talk) 01:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it is not my place to decide, but I am sorry he just isn't notable enough to be on here (specially red wikilinked to a non existant article)! Doktor Wilhelm

02:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I may settle for something like

==Other known uses==
DJ Guyver: Guy Mearns, 17 year old (DOB?) DJ from Beverley, West Yorkshire, England.

But I don't agree with it being red wikilinked, and lacking in information hat shows that it is a real person (though is it okay to list informartion on a disambiguation page?). Doktor Wilhelm 02:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes, I think that usage seems to be appropriate. it is certainly preferential to a blank link. it also contains more information than was previously contained here. Drag-5 (talk) 04:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's irrelevant to this article and shouldn't be placed here. There are several reasons, he is obviously either named for something else (bio booster Guyver is not the only place where the name guyver is used) or he isn't legitimate, as using this name would be copyright infringement. Besides, this information, while possibly true, is just as relevant as the fact that my I have a box of instantquaker oatmeal on top of my television. It certainly is true, but it doesn't matter. Besides, wikipedia isn't a datin service.Adroa (talk) 21:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guyver 2 dark hero

Guyver 2 dark hero is a SEQUAL to guyver dark hero. it is the second film and was named as such. the film was a US production and the official Us guyver 2 dark hero dvd is named guyver 2 dark hero. that is the official name. if this is to be renamed guyver: dark hero, then the oriiginal should be named "guyver" this is not teh case because wikipedia should be using the official names not the preferred name. if proof can be obtained of guyver: dark hero being teh official name, it should be included and cited as a reference. Drag-5 (talk) 01:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the first film is not named guyver dark hero, though the second is! The proof obtained of guyver: dark hero being the official name, is the page on the imdb that you yourself provided! Doktor Wilhelm 01:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

quoted from hte imdb article - Release Date: 19 June 2000 (UK)

this is teh uk release date, which mweans this article is for the british release. listed further down the article is - Also Known As: Guyver 2: Dark Hero (USA) (video box title) this is teh us name. the film is an american production therefore the american name is the official name. Drag-5 (talk) 01:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the addition of the "2" was added for teh video box title, as clearly stated! Doktor Wilhelm 01:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this is not clearly started this is an interpretation. even if it is added for the video box title, this does not change the fact it is teh official title. (personal note, please don't make fun of my duslexia) Drag-5 (talk) 01:46, 21 January 2008 0(UTC)

It is not stated anywhere that the official title features the 2. (also of personal note: dyslexia isn't a reason to spell badly, I myself suffer from it, badly! re-reading what you write may be of help!) Doktor Wilhelm 01:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the official dvd release - http://newlinedvd.com/titles.php?id=147 Drag-5 (talk) 02:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

if that is to be used as the reference, than the "dark hero" part of the title is to be removed? As it doesn't appear to feature the sub title? Doktor Wilhelm 02:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can agree to that. that would be official. Drag-5 (talk) 02:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a title of "The Guyver 2" would fit in better with the title of the original film, but would it be easy for people looking for the film to find? (as stated IMDB listed it under a different title/s) Doktor Wilhelm 02:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

which would be a good reason for a compromise of adding the subtitle of 'dark hero'. but as it is not official, it clearly doesn't belong. both titles can be included on hte main article for it, and searches will bring results from that page. Drag-5 (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be just fine (though would the title of it's main page need to be moved to The Guyver 2?) also, it'll need a ref from newlinedvd.com, so more ~~idiotic~~ helpfull people (such as myself) can understand the reason for it's name, and maybe a disclaimer/ref for the diffrent names on IMDB, if they can be found? (though I guess The Guyver movie article doesn't have any citations for the Mutronics title?) Doktor Wilhelm 02:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the main article should be renamed. I also agree that a citation for newlines page should be included or at least a link at the base of teh article as the official site. Drag-5 (talk) 04:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guyver Wikia

Has anyone here an interest in creating a Guyver Wikia? I would spend time on this Wikia trying to expand it. But it would be great if more people would be willing to help me. Diabound (talk) 17:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have a large section on www.japan-legend.com and wish to expand. wiki links of this kind are not allowed on wikipedia however. so we can't link to it from here.Drag-5 (talk) 18:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Manga releases in the US

Has there been a new release of the manga in the US? I got the 7 books that were released back in the 90s, and have not seen anything released here after that, though the current page refers to chapters beyond Volume 7 in the US. (Where they had a reference saying it was going on infinite hiatus) Or have all of these volumes been only released in Japan? FMPhoenixHawk (talk) 05:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no new release. it continues in japan and is being released (up to volume 10) in english in singapore. Drag-5 (talk) 17:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Female Guyver manga

Just a few minor things, I'm looking at the manga right now, and hr control medal actually has two diagonal marks, one on the orb part and the other on the"ring" part that are perpindicular to each other. also it states about the production process that "with the cell sample, we need only to find a control metal" which means that she is using Guyver II's control metal, as the only three units known on earth are Guyver I, III and formerly II (now female Guyver). Will there be any problem with me integrating this information?Adroa (talk) 16:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes because it also states that it is a fake control medal. but your description of the appearance of the fake CM is accurate. Drag-5 (talk) 17:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not referred to as fake, but "artificial" which means "man-made". I guess however, it would require a bit of speculation to say hers was made out of Risker's. Adroa (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another Guyver Ability

The female uyver refers to it as the Guyver's "Hyper Sense", which has gone unnamed up until now. I believe this information should be included now that it actually has a name. I also think the list of weapons should be changed to "systems" or abilites" as they aren't all necessarily weapons, for example the gravity controller which constitutes flight, and the hyper sense which is definitely is not a weapon.Adroa (talk) 20:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown Guyver orbs

There are 5 different types of orbs on the Guyver's head (helmet) Hyper Since organs Control Metal Sonic orbs Head Laser unknown orbs The two unknown orbs I am refrencing are on either side of the Guyver's horn, at the base o the horn. I remember them being the basis of the guyver's telepathic communication (unlike in the anime where it is the organs on the back) in the manga. It was the early chapters, and was never mentioned again.Adroa (talk) 21:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
