Bad Ass Normal: Out of all the other Guyvers he has had no combat training and at the moment has created the Exceed and seems to be beating Agito in combat.
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Being the most sensitive of the Guyvers Sho came off as being weak...in recent chapters this seems to FINALLY be paying off.
Ridiculously Average Guy: Compared to Agito, Risker, and Valcuria he's extremely average, being a student while the other three have had combat training...it makes his acts of heroism and his level in bad ass all the more dramatic.
Weaksauce Weakness (There's a bullseye on his forehead. If Kronos didn't want the control medallion intact, he'd have been dead a long time ago.)
He also can't transform in crowded places or while carrying someone thanks to the Sphere of Destruction created by the Guyver's activation. (This happens a lot early on.)
Tom Boy And Girly Girl: In the middle of the spectrum roughly, she's more a damsel but dresses less girly than Shizu, the action girl. But compared to Natsuki she's a girly girl.
Revolvers Are Just Better: Depending on the media, averted and played straight. In the manga for one scene he wielded a revolver, it did nothing to the Zoanoid. However the Buster Gun has a rotating chamber holding only three bullets so played straight there.
Team Dad: Or Team big brother with Odagiri being the team dad.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He might be only as strong as a Zoanoid and he's exhausted after using his power. But he's a much better team mate against Enzyme III instead of another Guyver.
The Smart Guy: He knew a lot about Cloud Gate's security and used more strategy to fight, when he could.
Team Dad: Acts like a dad or big brother to Sho during the rescue of Aptom.
This Looks Like A Job For Aqua Man: Hayami isn't worth much in a straight fight but thus far his freezing ability has pretty much been critical for every victory against Enzyme IIIs.
Continuity Drift: Partially, one of the few in the manga actually, but he never attempts a doppleganger attack again after book seven, except in book 14 to teach show a lesson.
Took a Level in Badass: One moment, he lost easily towards early Sho in his base and weakest Guyver armor. And then, he was OWNING the Hyper-Zoanoid Team Five, who gave even Agito a hard time.
A Day In The Lime Light: The first chapter of book 28 has her and Toki discussing events. Partially re-cap but at least we hear their thoughts on the matter.
Call Back: She wasn't last seen since book 1 then returned in 9.
Cool Big Sis: She's not that much older than Sho or Mizuki but has shades of it.
A Day In The Lime Light: The first chapter of book 28 has he and Natsuki discussing events. Partially re-cap but at least we hear their thoughts on the matter. It's a better way tan usual.
What If?: Some fans see Aso as being an older and tougher Tetsuro, and Toki as Sho if he hadn't gained the Guyver and grew up.
The Zoalords
Archanfel
The Ace: Considering he's a bishounen who looks to be 20, apparently immortal, the strongest person on the planet arguably, built up a secret organization, and rules over the world, he's a dark version and leads to..
Broken Ace: He may have a sympathetic back story that fleshes him out but he's pulled off quite a lot of stuff...also he's slowly dying.
And I Must Scream (He was rooted in place on a tiny isolated island with no one to talk to but his own semi-intelligent extensions for 'A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS'. It's no wonder he's fanatically loyal to Dr. Barcas.)
Unskilled, but Strong: Unlike Imakarum he wasn't a fighting Zoalord but he does have a lot of raw power and when his heart into it he gives Sho a good fight.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: In an interview Takaya gives a Pet the Dog moment when he declares that Guyot has never known love thus it's why he's so cold and cruel.
Woolseyism: In the old Viz manga translations (which tied into the 1994 movie), his name was translated as "Reichmann Gyro", which, given his Aryan looks, made sense.
Tear Jerker: For all the trouble he and Waferdanos went through to try to defeat Agito, even if one roots for Agito, it's hard to feel sorry for his efforts failing.
Weak, but Skilled: His power isn't that destructive and may have limits but he used it very effectively.
The Nudifier (her experimental, imperfect Control Medallion destroys whatever she was wearing when she summoned her armor, inevitably leaving her naked on its dismissal)
Killed Off for Real: People are quite sure the two Guyver IIs are different people.
Retcon: The original design of Guyver II was very similar to Sho's only the sonic busters and breathers were paired up. The OVA gave a much better design and Takaya re-drew art for book one.
Ensemble Darkhorse: A little, there have been a few pictures of him appearing along with Guyver I,II, and III.
Gone Horribly Right: This is the origin of: ABORT! SWEETJESUSITHASAPARTICLECANNONFORATORSO!
Posthumous Character: He only appeared twice and it was in the far distant pass. Yet his brief rebellion is what caused the Creators to leave in the first place.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Numerous Zoanoids and Hypers with various powers are quickly killed off. Sadly the ones that tried to stop Guyver IIF in book 26 didn't get data files!
We Hardly Knew Ye: Each member except for Zxtole, who doesn't have a back story, but he made up for it with a lot of cool moments. Thancrus is the saddest case.
