Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor

In time immemorial, aliens flew to Earth in order to conduct their military development here with the aim of creating particularly powerful weapons. In the process of millennia-old experiments, man was created. The man himself was weak and was used as the basis for new developments. In the course of further experiments, a device was created that was able to integrate with a person and repeatedly increase his strength. But the device had a “defect”: the aliens could not control the person using this device. The device was called "diver" - "out of control" in translation from the language of aliens.

After that, the aliens decided to leave the Earth and destroy the planet with everything that was left on it. In addition to people and the Guyver, their other “experiment” remained on the planet - Zoalord Alkanfel, the one who can command the battle form of people - Zoanoids. To destroy Earth, a meteorite the size of the moon was sent to the planet. Zoalord Alkanfel destroys a meteorite on approach to Earth. But the destruction of the meteorite led to the fact that Alkanfel hibernated for millennia, on a secret island, in a temple built for him by the faithful Alkamfel Zoanoids.

Zoanoids continued to live among people. Legends about werewolves are actually stories about meetings of ordinary people with them.

Kronos was founded at the end of the 16th century by Alkanfel and Dr. Hamilkal Balkus, who found it, who set the goal of modifying humanity into Zoanoid and unifying the world.

In the 1990s, under mysterious circumstances, a traitor escapes from a Kronos laboratory in Japan with a bag containing three strange blocks called “Unit G”. In the forest of the traitor, people from Kronos overtake and, in order not to give up to them, the traitor blows himself up with a grenade. Blocks from the explosion scatter in different directions from the mountain. So one of the blocks is in the hands of Fukamati Shё, walking at that time with his friend Segawa Tetsuro in the forest. Sho accidentally activates the device, and it merges with it, turning it into a powerful bio-weapon - the Guyver.

People from Kronos, who are looking for a bloc, quickly find Sho and Tetsuro, who have not yet managed to understand anything. Sho, saving his friend, kills one of the monsters. The enemy flees. After that, the bio-armor separates from Shё and disappears.

With a subsequent story, Shou and his friends are fighting a powerful corporation that wants to get bio-armor and take over the world.
