Plot
The Chronos Corporation has secret plans for the world and have biologically engineered employees and soldiers who are able to transform themselves into powerful monsters at will, beings called Zoanoids. A test type Zoanoid, disguised as a normal man, escapes after stealing a bag containing three items Chronos was studying, known as the Guyver units. Chronos soldiers attempt to recover the units from the test-type but he activates a grenade, killing himself and scattering the Guyver units. One of the lost units is discovered by two high school students, Shō Fukamachi and Tetsurō Segawa. Shō accidentally activates the unit and it merges him with the biological armor, increasing all his physical abilities and arming him with deadly weaponry. He is now a Guyver, later specifically designated "Guyver I." Determined to recruit Shō or recover the Guyver armor from his body (even if removing it proves fatal,) the Chronos Corporation begins sending Zoanoids after the teenager and his friend Tetsurō. Also at risk is Tetsurō's sister Mizuki, whom Shō loves. The Zoanoid attacks lead to escalating battles that result in Shō learning to be a deadlier warrior while uncovering more of his armor's abilities. Thanks to their influence in politics and new media, the general public is kept unaware of the secret war between the Chronos Corporation and Guyver I. Eventually, Shō meets other Guyver users and uncovers the secrets behind the origins of their units, the Zoanoids, and the Chronos Corporation.Characters
Most, if not all, of the characters from the original Guyver manga series appear in the new Guyver anime series. Several characters in the new anime series have undergone a slight change of design from their previous looks from the past animated OVA ('' The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor'') and manga series. For instance, Shō has a different style, brown hair rather than his original black hair. Mizuki now has black hair in the 2005 series instead of her brown hair from the previous series.Main characters

Sho was a second-year student at a Tokyo-area high school when he and his best friend, Tetsuro Segawa, stumbled upon one of the missing G-units. Sho inadvertently activates the unit and merges with the bio-boosted armor. Labeled "Guyver I" by the Cronos Corporation, Sho must fend off the advancing swarms of Zoanoids dispatched by the corporation trying to recover the G-unit, while also protecting those close to him. ; : :Sho's closest friend. A third-year student attending the same school as Sho. Tetsuro is a science fiction fan and the president of the school's Sci-Fi society club, which gives him some knowledge to make quite a few assumptions about the things involving the Guyver. ; : :Sho's romantic interest and Tetsuro's younger sister. She is an average high school girl attending the same school as Shō and her brother. Initially infatuated with Agito Makishima, Mizuki starts to develop feelings for Shō after realizing she can't compete with Shizu's loyalty and devotion to Agito, and knowing the truth behind the Guyvers. By the later episodes of the anime, her affections have completely shifted towards him. ; : :Agito is a third-year student at the same high school the others attend. He almost never allows sentiment to stand in his way. He does not even show much expression in his face, but acts quite friendly at school. He finds a Guyver unit and merges with it to become "Guyver III." Agito also seems to have extensive knowledge on the Guyver and its abilities and exhibits them quite well. Agito seems to have his own agenda when it comes to dealing with Chronos. He is an excellent example of anOther characters

The Lost Numbers are used as expendable guinea pigs for Chronos genetic research. Aptom has the unique ability of mimicry, allowing him to recreate the abilities of other Zoanoids. As the series progresses, he receives an upgrade to his ability allowing him to enhance and combine zoanoids into more powerful hybrid creatures. The penalty (or perhaps benefit) of this process is that it renders him immune to the mental domination of the Chronos leaders. ;Toshiaki Hayami/Bio-Freezer : ;Hamilcar Barcas : ;Archanfel : ;Sin Rubeo Amniculus : ;Fried'rich von Purg'stall : ;Luggnagg de Krumeggnic : ;Jabir Ibn Hayyan, Gregole : ;Gaster : ;Lǐ Yǎn-Tuí, Derzerb, Enzyme II : ;Zerbebuth : ;Elegan : ;ZX-Tole : ;Test Type : ;Kawada : ;Kobashi : ;Misuzawa : ;Dyme : :One of the Chronos "Lost Number Commandos" an elite group of Zoanoids that failed the Zoanoid optimization process.
