I want to know what that's about honestly. The whole health-bar thing is brilliant in my opinion, but not the ejection part! Bugsters, being human-sized physical entities that have been shown to possess the abilitiy to interact with their surrounding environment, are perfectly able to kill humans without infecting them. Once the suit transformation is cancelled, pretty sure the next second is going to end up with Graphite sticking his polearm thing into you.

Although then again, I have a reasonable explanation as to why Ex-Aid has a system like that: they said something about dead Gamer Riders and those infected with Bugster Virus getting turned into data so I assume that the Gamer Riders Rider Gauges (the heathbars) have something to do with that. I can't exactly see anybody shot or killed out of suit turning into data. Also it's more convenient for Dan Kuroto the Meme Lord to kill someone in-suit to prevent leaving evidence.

As for other shows like Zero-One, I think there should at least be a failsafe function in those suits. I don't want to get thrust in the middle of battle and then get knocked out of transformation all of a sudden!

Still a bit confused as to the whole 'protection via cancelling transformation' thing going on in terms of practicality.

That's why I said I can let is slide for heroes who transform using magic, mystical energy sources or energy sources related to their health. I can understand if their 'life force' or something powering their suit starts to disappear due to their state of injury, hence causing their suit to disappear as well. But technology based heroes should at least have a failsafe or something rather than just outright cancelling the transformation. Especially those with 'secret identities'.

Of course, I know perfectly well as to WHY suit transformations are canceled on-screen. Kids watching toku link suits to power, and the removal of transformation, in kids' eyes, symbolises the defeat or failure of a hero. I'm arguing for the sake of application in a more practical sense.

Actually, in practical fashion, wouldn't the suits themselves be stored inside the device? If so, then shouldn't the armor pieces stay on the person? I see no reason for the suit transformation to be cancelled. If the suit itself was formed by the device out of energy or something however, that's a WHOLE different story that I can let slide.
