The main character of the series, Shō Fukamachi, is seventeen years old and a second-year student at Narisawa high school. After coming across the Guyver unit in its compressed form Shō picks it up und unknowingly activates it. Shō is knocked unconscious from the trauma of having the Unit forcibly bond itself to him. However, the Guyver itself is able to deal with the threat of the Zoanoids that have been dispatched to retrieve the lost Guyver Unit. Once Shō awakens from the fugue-like state that he had entered while bonding to the Unit, he is initially terrified of the armor that he found himself wearing, as well as its capacity for sheer destruction. As he is the host for the first Unit activated, he is known as “Guyver I”.
These feelings lead to him rejecting the armor, which in turn caused the armor itself to retreat from him and store itself in the sub-dimension that the armor resides in when not in use.
However, this is only a temporary reprieve; the armor itself is still firmly bonded to him. Nothing short of the Unit Remover would be able to change that fact. Shō, however, is simply relieved to be free of the armor; he doesn't know yet that he will not be able to get out of the situation so easily.When the next group of Chronos thugs confront him he is once again able to call upon the Guyver to protect himself and his best friend, Tetsuro. In doing so, he discovers the most powerful of the Guyver's weapons: the mighty Mega Smasher.
After that, Shō begins to realize that the situation he is now in is very serious, and also, that there is far more to it than what he had seen so far.
Powers and Abilities:
Control Medal
Located on the Guyver's forehead, this medal button-like sphere regulates the energy flow between the organism and the host's body, as well as preventing the alien parasite that the Guyver system is based on from literally eating its host alive.
Head Beam
Infrared Laser
A multi-directional infrared laser mounted just above the Control Medal on the Guyver's head. Since the Head Beam uses body heat, rapid fire is obtainable, and it is often used over the Mega-Smasher which requires a substantial amount of time to charge.
Head Sensors
Each Guyver displays two metallic orbs on either side of its head. These orbs give the Guyver the ability to sense electromagnetic fields outside of their direct line of physical sight.
Vibration Globes
Sonic Buster
These two orbs located at the Guyver's mouthpiece serve as sonic weapons that can produce highly destructive sound waves. At full power, the sound waves produced by the weapon do not merely batter or shake the object, but in fact "home in" on its molecular resonance frequency, causing it to literally disintegrate into a cloud of disparate particles within seconds.
Mega-Smasher
Thoratic Particle Beam Cannon
The Mega Smashers are a set of organs located in the chest, which can channel energy into a single, directed beam of highly charged particles. This beam is officially stated as being capable of delivering a blast of more than 100% Megawatts in terms of force. The organ which produces this beam is fragile but is usually covered by the chest armor.
Sonic Swords
High-Frequency Swords
These are multi-faceted blades that protrude from the Guyver's forearm and are reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonate at extremely high frequencies when extended. This oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of most solid objects within inches of the cutting edge, effectively increasing its cutting ability.
Gravity Controller
Gravity Launcher
The Gravity Controller orb siphons gravitational energy from a higher dimension. Two main uses include giving the Guyver the ability to fly and to unleash destructive gravity waves that are compressed into a circular shaped ball and fired in the form of a directed Gravity Launcher This cannon could also be used to block attacks like a small temporary shield.
