* BigNo: when he dons the Guyver unit for the first time. [[spoiler: another finding out that he killed Enzyme II, his father.]]
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: he can heal from anything, [[FromASingleCell provided that the Control Medal has a piece of him]].

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Being the most sensitive of the Guyvers Sho came off as being weak...in recent chapters, this seems to FINALLY be paying off.

** [[spoiler: another when they find out Imarakum Mirabilis is Masaki Murakami. Again, Aptom gets him out of it.]]
* HeroicSafeMode: damage to Sho's brain knocks him out of commission and the Guyver Unit acts to protect itself. [[spoiler: this is what kills Enzyme II, tragically.]]

* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: 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 badass all the more dramatic.

Here is a list of characters from the manga series ''Manga/Guyver''.

* HeadBlast: The guyver suits come with a small laser emitter mounted roughly on the forehead. It's one of the weaker weapons at the Guyver's disposal, but benefits from being more precise and faster firing than something like the Pressure Cannon and Mega Smasher.

* SuperStrength: all Guyvers posses super strength, which is further enhanced by the gravity orb on their waists.

The Guyver is the product of a Uranus bio-adapted armor bonding and enhancing a human host. The armor itself adapts itself to the user so the power of the merged being depends on the host's potential. As humans were engineered to be bio-weapons, the bio-armor system increases their powers far beyond even the aliens that created them. Later, humans that had been merged with the armor were referred to as "Guyver" which in the Uranus' language means "beyond normal" or "Abnormal". This is because a Guyver is beyond the control of the Uranus' psychic domination.

** There's a bullseye on the ''forehead'' of any guyver also known as the control metal. Since the control metal is vital, damaging it will cause a host's guyver form to go wonky and destroying it will cause the armor to eat the host alive.

* EnergyWeapon: The Head Beam, a small laser fired from, you guessed it, the head.
* {{Flight}}: All guyvers possess a gravity orb on their waists which allows them to fly among other things.

* HeadBlast: The guyver suits come with a small laser emitter mounted roughly on the forehead. At the end of the day its probalby one of the weaker weapons but benefits from being more precise and faster firing than something like the Pressure Cannon and Mega Smasher.

* HealingFactor: The bio-armor provide massive regenerative capabilities up to and including FromASingleCell.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: ALL GUYVERS. A single guyver is equal to 1000 normal zoanoids and a squad of hyper-zoanoids.
* PhlebotinumRebel: By definition, the guyvers are this, as a guyver is specifically what a human bonded with the alien bio-armor is called. Not only does the control metal on the armor free humans from the Uranus' psychic control but the first thing the first guyver did when the Uranus tried to give it orders was to blast one of their ships with the Mega Smasher. See WaveMotionGun below.
* SphereOfDestruction: Whenever a guyver transforms, they are surrounded by a spatial distortion caused by the armor entering normal space from a sub dimension. Anything around the host while transforming will be detroyed.
* SuperScream: The Sonic Buster is a powerful sound cannon fired from the guyver's "mouth". It can disintegrate matter or cause foes to grip their ears in pain.
* SuperStrength: all guyvers posses super strength which is further enhanced by the gravity orb on their waists.
* WaveMotionGun: The Megasmasher! A massive particle cannon fire from the guyver's chest that can cut a swath of destruction for miles.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: High Frequency Swords on the elbows of the guyver can cut through almost anything.

* DistressedDamsel: She gets kidnapped by Chronos in their attempt to captured Sho. [[spoiler: again when Aptom is out for revenge and tries to force Sho into becoming Guyver I]]

* UnskilledButStrong: For a large part of the manga Sho's only really able to give Chronos trouble because of the raw power advantage he has over Zoanoids while having no combat training. Played up in his fight with Lisker, who's equally powerful and also a black belt, and is crushing Sho until his suit malfunctions.

* StudentCouncilPresident: used to be one.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Died at the end of the only chapter where he got to see action, which later even the writer admitted was a waste of the character. In somewhat of a remedy, the 2005 series has him survive until the destruction of Chronos Japan and gives him a subplot where he was rivals with Zerbebuth.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Died at the end of the only chapter where he got to see action, which later even the writer admitted was a waste of the character. In somewhat of a remedy, the 2005 series has him survive until the destruction of Chronos Japan.

* MakeMeWannaShout: The Sonic Buster. A powerful sound cannon fired from the guyver's "mouth" that can disintegrate matter or cause foes to grip their ears in pain.

* SphereOfDestruction: Whenever a guyver transforms, they are surrounded by a spacial distortion caused by the armor entering normal space from a sub dimension. Anything around the host while transforming will be detroyed.

%%* WeHardlyKnewYe: Got some more character development in the 2005 anime at least.

* HandCannon: His Zoanoid Buster supergun, which can take the head off a Zoanoid in one shot. This was actually an invention of the anime adaptations, as the manga ''did'' have him use an ordinary revolver at one point, but it obviously did nothing to Zoanoids. When the 26-episode series rolled around, this weapon was brought back.

* CanonImmigrant: She first appeared ''Guyver: Out Of Control'' OVA, substituting Oswald.

* HourOfPower: Valkria's control metal is a prototype created by Chronos and not a perfect copy of a true guyver control metal. There is a limit to how long she can stay transformed.

* ObliviousToLove: Tetsuro is at disbelief that she didn't notice Sho's Crush.
