Ep 2. The Secret Society of Chronos

The Secret Society of Chronos is the second episode of the first season of the anime series Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor. The episode follows the protagonist, Sho Fukamachi, as he is pursued by the Chronos Corporation, who have become aware of his possession of the powerful Guyver unit.

The episode opens with Sho and his friend Tetsuro trying to figure out how to control the Guyver unit, with Sho still struggling to understand its full capabilities. However, their attempts at experimentation are cut short when they are ambushed by a group of Chronos soldiers, who are determined to retrieve the Guyver unit at any cost. Sho activates the Guyver unit and engages in a fierce battle with the soldiers, using his newfound abilities to defeat them, demonstrating his increasing level of control over the armor.

Following the battle, Sho is confronted by a mysterious man named Agito Makishima, who reveals that he is a member of a secret society known as the Chronos Corporation. Makishima explains that Chronos has been responsible for the development of the Guyver unit, and that they are searching for Sho in order to reclaim the armor. He also reveals that there are other Guyver units in existence, and that they are held by members of Chronos.

Makishima then offers Sho a deal: if he agrees to join Chronos, he will be given access to greater power and resources than he could ever imagine, and will be able to control the Guyver without fear of persecution from the corporation. Sho initially refuses the offer, insisting that he will fight against Chronos until he succeeds in destroying them and freeing himself from their grasp.

Despite Sho's refusal, Makishima continues to pursue him, revealing that Chronos has a number of failsafe mechanisms in place to prevent the Guyver unit from being used against them. These mechanisms include the activation of a self-destruct sequence within the armor, which would result in Sho's death if he attempted to use the unit against Chronos.

As Sho and Tetsuro escape from Chronos soldiers, they meet a girl named Mizuki Segawa, who reveals that she also possesses a Guyver unit. Mizuki offers to help Sho in his fight against Chronos, and the three of them set out to uncover the corporation's secrets and find a way to defeat them.

As the episode concludes, Makishima reports to his superiors within Chronos, revealing that he has made contact with Sho and believes that he will eventually join their cause. However, he also cautions that Sho is a highly unpredictable variable, and that they must proceed with caution in dealing with him.

Overall, The Secret Society of Chronos is an action-packed episode that sets the stage for the ongoing conflict between Sho and the Chronos Corporation. With the introduction of new characters and the promise of even greater dangers to come, viewers are left eager to see how the story will unfold in future episodes.
