Define Guyver Meaning

Guyver
A late 80s/early 90s manga and anime series by a fellow named Yoshiki Takaya. Revolved around three alien units known as 'guyvers' that, when fused with a human would encase him/her with a sort of 'bio-boosted armor' and give them all sorts of fun abilities. A big bad (strange) corporation known as Chronos is out to get ahold of these units, which were once in their possession but got stolen at the beginning of the story. One of the units comes into the possession of a high school student named Sho, who after fusing with it finds himself on the run from Chronos.

The anime version stopped after 12 episodes and had an English dub which have pretty awful voice acting. The manga, however, is still ongoing and has a very interesting storyline.

Two live action movies were made in the US. The first starred Mark Hamill (yes, the same guy who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars) and was pretty cool if a bit on the cheesey side. The second had a much smaller budget and felt like a long, drawn out Power Rangers episode. Both don't really seem to follow the main storyline in the manga so much.

Ever since James fused with a Guyver unit he has become far too arrogant for anyone to share his company.

Guyver
A 1980's anime that never really became popular in the United States due to it's excessive amount of blood, gore, and crappy voice acting. It's a shame that such a good idea went to waste, like a good plot to a movie being used for a porno instead for a major motion film. Although the anime did inspire 2 low budget sci-fi movies in the early 90's, the second movie had David Hayter (voice of Solid Snake) play the lead role. neither of them were good (think of power rangers with a low budget, crappier acting, and blood added to it)
The Guyver would of been a decent franchise if only a company like Marvel would buy the rights to it and create a comic book.

1. Damn, that series had potential, but the damn company screwed it over like the Guyver series
2. If I was a guyver, I would kill all my enemies and take over the world!

Bio Booster Armor Guyver
Bio-Booster Armor Guyver (Viz Media) or Guyver (Chuang Yi Publishing) (強殖装甲ガイバー Kyōshoku Sōkō Gaibā?) is a manga series written by Yoshiki Takaya. The Guyver itself is a symbiotic techno-organic (or biomechanical) device that enhances the capabilities of its host.

The manga was originally serialized in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Captain, the first appearance being in the February 18 magazine beginning in 1985. When Shōnen Captain was discontinued in 1997, the manga was picked up by Kadokawa Shoten who subsequently re-released all of the previous tankōbon originally published by Tokuma. The manga is currently serialized in Kadokawa's monthly Shōnen Ace magazine. It has been licensed by Viz Media, Star Comics and Chuang Yi Publishing.

Guyver has been adapted into a single OVA titled Guyver: Out of Control (1986, based loosely on the first four chapters), a 12-episode anime series (1989 to 1992, based roughly on the first four volumes), two live action movies (1991's The Guyver and 1994's Guyver 2: Dark Hero) as well as a 2005 26-episode anime series based on the first 60 chapters (volumes 1-10).

A test type Zoanoid escapes from the Cronos Corporation with three Bio Booster Armor Guyver Units. Cronos soldiers attempt to recover the units from the test type, but are thwarted when the test type detonates a bomb that he has concealed in his bag. The Guyver Units are scattered in the blast. One of the lost Guyver Units, known as "Unit I", lands near two young high school students, Shō Fukamachi and Tetsurō Segawa. The second one is retrieved by Cronos and merges with Oswald A. Lisker to become the second Guyver later on. The final unit falls into the hands of Agito Makishima, who merges with it at an unspecified time. Shō accidentally activates the unit which then painfully merges with him.

Over time, Shō learns more about the Guyver and its abilities. The Guyver is virtually invulnerable, with its only weak point being the Control Metal. With this part intact, it can rebuild the host from the data stored within. If this part is critically damaged, however, the host will be eaten alive by the unit and perish. This is disconcerting and Shō starts to question whether he will ever be free from the Guyver. The situation gradually gets worse with continuously more powerful Zoanoids appearing. This makes it increasingly difficult to protect his vulnerable friends.

As the story progresses it also takes a startling turn, in which Cronos actually succeeds in taking over the world and reshaping it according to its ideals.
