Horrors?
Yes.
That's what those dark beasts have been called since the ancient times.
Horror cross over from Makai, and possess people.
Then, they assume that person's life.
Do you know why?
So they can eat people?
Exactly.
In order to devour people,
they lurk about our world, wearing human skin as a disguise.
Why do monsters like this even exist?
Evil thoughts.
Horrors use the malevolence of humans as a door to enter our world.
Essentially, Horrors and humans are two sides of the same coin.
So then....
These dark beasts, they can never be wiped out?
Sadly, no.
But even if they can't be exterminated, Horrers can be killed...
Or, more precisely, be sealed away.
This is...?
Makai knight.
They're the natural enemies of Horrors, and those who safeguard the humanity
They's are our guardians?
I've learned something interesting, recently.
This is...?
The Horror ark, called the God's Fang
The Horros can use the ark to travel to the moon.
Once there, they can siphon the moon's energy to become immortal.
That's how the legend goes, at least.
However, it doesn't appear to simly like a fairy tale.
This is the location where the God' Fang departs for the moon.
Are you sure about that?
There is no doubt about it.
The geography, the moon's astronomical path, and the calendar all point to this location.
W-hy have you been researching this, professor?
Wll, when Horrors possess humans, they're able to transform.
Perhaps, I'm one of them...
Just kidding.
Even that is me, you still hit?
You must be feeling healthy, Boel.
Now we know where the ark will depart from.
But you know? kinda suck if we had to find it out from humans.
Shut it!
Hey, can I eat him?
Sure, just don't make a mess.
Okay'
That just leaves
God's Fang
I figure it is about time.
Not bad, huh?
You are...?
Are you alright?
Alright, training is good at all, but four at once?
You could've handled it.
They say that every knight in the venerated Garo lineage has been able to handle this trial.
Well, I guess I'm not a proper Garo then -
You are Garo.
The Golden Knight,
Ryuga...
What did you see?
Or felt something?
Nope.
Well, if you say so.
Traimimg time is over. I sense a Horror nearby.
I know.
What's a big deal?
Let me go!
Help me!
Wait a second, Ryuga!
What's up?
The Horror's presence is gone.
Gone?
I figure someone else in the business myst've gotten it.
someone else...
Another Makai knight, huh?
Banbi?
Long time no see, Aguri.
I need to ask a favor.
Akemi!
Are you okay?
Do i f*cking look okay?
I guess you're right...
Does it hurttt?
It is not f*cking hurt.
You gonna be okay?
Boopp!
Hey!
Looks like there is a little party.
Does that hurt too?
It really hurt that bad, young lad?
Arhhh, It's hurt!
Bit i've got to say, right now...
I'm feeling a lot better.
What?
Come on, now!
You...
I've heard there is a Horror leading a crew of dumbasses.
Figured I'd drop by to say hi.
Go take a dump and go to bed.
I'm safe.
Uahhhhh
Ooh hoo, so hungry.
Who is that?
I need to ask you a favor.
Really?
Well. i make a point of hearing out ladies in need of my help.
Priests can't wield Soul Metal, You know?
Well so...
What is that favor?
I need your armor.
Is that just a lie?
Aguri?!
Kusugami Aguri?
Did aguri really do that?
You do know him, then.
Right. We sealed Zedom together.
Your comrade...
may have fallen to darkness.
It can't be!
Over the last fre day,
there has been an increase of Horror activity.
And last night, a Makai Knight had his armor stolen.
And Aguri was involved?
According to the knight whose armor was stolen,
Kusugami Aguri was accompanying an unidentified Makai Priest.
It is hard to believe...
I know, right?
I couldn't believe it either.
Takeru?
It's been a while, Ryuga, Rian.
Why you are here?
Dont tell me that...
Yeah, you're right. The Makai Knight whose armor was taken.
Ryuga...
You are to work with Jakuzure Takeru and investiagte what is going on.
Yes.
That bastard Aguri....
Takeru!...
How is it feel to lose your armor?
Huh?
Do you feel pathetic?
What are you saying?
Please stop it!
Most people would feel that way...
A Makai Knight's Armor is his whole life.
Need you to say it?
There are times when my armor has felt like burden.
But even so... for a knight, it is their life.
I can't believe that Aguri would help someone who's turned to darkness.
There has to be a reason for it.
That makes it even worse!
Why the hell didn't he just explain his reasons?
You haven't changed, Takeru.
Shut it...
Huh?
Hey!
You guys can make up later.
Some Horrors are nearby.
Got it!
Rian, find Aguri and this mysterious Makai Priest.
Rian?
It's been a while, Haruna.
I need you to look something up for me.
There was a priest under that name, from the Teigan village.
The name is Banbi, right?
Right.
She worked with a Makai Knight named Tenma Judo
But Judo turned to darkness, and is said to have died.
He fell to darkness...
Your partner's doing alright, isn't he?
Daigo? What are you doing there?
We'd like to help out, but we've got to handle this.
Very sorry, Rian.
It's okay.
Be careful, both of you.
Don't worry! Gald is here, too.
Rian...
Give Dougai my regards.
Ice cream, oh so sweet,
Gonna take a big old bite!
A perfect treat for a trop through the mountains.
May be we can dig a hole up in the sky!
Hey here!
Well, that was easier than I expected.
Which one is Garo? Huh, which one?
Hey, what's up, I'm the Golden Knight!
Like he's just gonna announce it, idiot.
Boel...
Which one is no matter!
Don't, Ryuga!
Aguri!
Ryuga, we can talk later!
Bandi, give that sword to me!
Shoot her, Aguri!
Well, we kept our end of the deal.
So I can eat them, right?
Yes. Do as your please.
What is all of this?
She's here for your armor,
And we are after your flesh.
Did you got it? Golden Knight?
C-cuz I can't eat you, with armor on.
What are you really after?
You seriously didn't know?
Eating the flesh of the knoght holding the title of Garo
is supposed to turn you into the strongest Horror.
I wanna be the very best!
Banbi!
Have you sold your soul to the Horror?
Aguri...
Banbi you know is dead!
We've got some tasty Golden Knight meat...
It'd be gready for just the two of us to eat it all.
Now... I think it's meal time.
Damn it!
Stop it!
We lost our armor because of him!
It's been a while, Aguri.
What happened? You need to explain what is going on.
That Makai Priest, Banbi...
We're chidhood friends.
That woman! ... What's she want with our armors?
Banbi had a lover named Judo. He was a Makai Knight.
But judo fell to darkness...
And died, right?
Banbi is trying to resurrect him!
A dead man... That kinda thing just doesn't work, man.
No, I've heard of something like this before.
By using the power of armors,
dark knights can be resurrected for a single night.
Just one night?
That's right!
And you bastards took my armor for that...
You should've given yours instead!
I already did!
She asked me to let her borrow it for one night!
That was supposed to be it!
But... one set of armor wasn't enough.
Right.
I tried to stop ger, but she wouldn't listen!
She wnet looking for other knights...
Then she ran into Takeru.
That's right!
It's all my fault!
I'm sorry, Ryuga....
Takeru.
What a cool bunch we are, losing our armors like scrubs.
Priest Burai would kick our asses if he was here.
He is here!
Well, we better shape up, then.
However.
What is the point by resurrecting him for only one night?
Welll... maybe she has unfinished business?
Or a little bit of...
You can cook up some kids, even if it's just one night, you know?
I don't know!
Maybe she just want to see him once again.
And that's it?
It can't be...
That is enough for a reason...
I understand how she must feel.
Judo...
What are you going to do?
I will settle this.
On my own, this is my problem.
Banbi's human, not a Horror.
Well, in that case...
We're not gonna let you go alone.
We're Makai Knights.
Let's go, together.
Right. You're got a Makai Priest Watching your backs, too.
Damnit all...
you jerks only show up when you want something.
Sorry about that. But we'll pay you back.
You better!
My baby here is scary when she's pissed, kid!
Rian, did you find anything?
This seem to be masking the malevolence, but look here.
Horrors?
A lot of them.
It's close to where Banbi is.
What, what's all this then? Bad news, I presume?
The Horrors are just after some Golden Knight flesh, right?
They said it'd make them unstoppable.
I've never heard anything like that!
I think you're right.
It's probably just a pretnse they came up with to trick Banbi.
Banbi wants to resurrect the dead...
And somehow, that works to the advantahe of these Horrrors.
But how?
Oah
What's up, D.Ringo?
This is...
A lot worse than just some resurrection voodoo.
What are you talking about?
The God's Fang.
God's Fang?
I'll be by your side...
Until the day you turn to dust.
An ark?
To carry Horrors?
Yeah, they take the ark to the moon,
and then the Horrors obtain crazy power, enough to stay in our world forever.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah.
But that's ancient story, right?
Could just be some bullshit someone came up with.
No, it's the truth.
You are...
Ryuga...
The ark requires two things.
One is a massive amount of Horrors,
the other is a dark Makai Knight...
Why is the dark knight necessary?
Apparently, he is required to activate the ark.
His intense negative feelings, his resentment and hatred.
But the knight's only back for one night, right?
That's enough time to get to the moon.
The moon...
We're going to do everything we can to stop this.
I can sense incredible malevolence underground in this area.
Let's find a way underground.
Banbi!
Stop this!
Haa
Hurry up! There is no time.
Banbi, you're being used!
If you let this chance slip by, you'll never see your beloved again!
Sorry, Aguri!
Banbi!
Who are you?
Who... hmmm?
A good question...
I don't know.
Hey, whassup.
Jinga...
Jinga's my name?
Why?
I see.
So you're all Horrors,
and you're looking ti get yiur hands on thhhis ark called the God's Fang?
It is interesting, isn't it?
You're not going anywhere!
We don't have any time to waste dealing with them all!
Sorry...
Guess I'm not the guy you were hoping to see.
Judo...
Not yet!
I'll give you a bit of my own life.
Since I'm only here for a night, anyway.
Was that actually Jinga?
He was also a Makai Knight who turned to darkness.
That ceremony would've been able to resurrect him too.
I'm not sure we can beat him without our armor...
He's only back for one night.
We just need to keep the ark from taking off.
Right?
So, what do you want me to do?
The Horrors have put up a barrier.
So how do we get in?
I'll create an opening.
But you already beaten up...
Don't worry about me. My men are coming.
Rian,
You should stay behind with me.
No, lady Ryume. I'm going with Ryuga.
No.
I'm going with all of them.
I suppose you all did save Vol city, together.
Then go, Ryuga!
I see.
So you want to take the ark to the moon, where you'll change it into a new world?
You're no longer our sacrifice.
You are the master of this ark, the God's Fang.
And...
the king of our new world.
God's Fang?
Right.
(Decade laughing)
Sounds fun. I remember a guy who used to go by that.
Hey, don't just stand there, got a move on, ugly!
Wait, me?
No way...
Seriously?
We are building this ark.
We don't summon it.
We build it...
No, no... i don't wanna!
When the countdown hits zero, the ark...
No.
The God's Fang will take off for the moon.
Understand?
Move!
Damn!
Lady Ryume.
(I know. Get clear!)
Everyone, get back!
Now, go. This way!
Are you okay?
Run for it!
Rian, get everyone clear!
Everyone, this way!
Hurry
Let's go!
Where is Banbi?
You're really that worried about her?
She's become Lord Jinga's puppet.
Next.
There's only Horrors left in the building.
Something about your voice rings a bell...
Jinga...
That was aparently my name.
You don't remember?
when Horrors get sent back to Makai, our memories go away.
But I'm starting to remember a few bits here and there.
This is Amiri, I believe?
You... Why-?!
Beautiful, isn't she?
She's the woman who brought me back.
So i gave her my favorite face.
Granted, she is dead already.
But with my power animating her...she's probably about as strong as the real Amiri was.
How dare you toy with the dead?!
Fight!
Goddammit!
If we had our armor, this Horror would be nothing!
Our weapons are made of Soul Metal!
Don't give up!
Ryuga, Takeru, focus your attacks on the chest.
What do you mean?
I've got a plan.
Got it !
Hey, Aguri!
Awsome, huh?
The first knights who fought Horrors didn't even have armor.
They defeated Horrors with arrows made with soul Metal.
Ryuga. This biulding... no, this ark is about to take off.
Is there a way to stop it?
Its source of power...
We just need to beat up Jinga.
I'm sorry.
Banbi!
You loved her, huh?
Time for the ark to depart.
As it stands, I'm only back for one night,
but what do you think will happen when i get to the moon on this ark?
What do you want to do?
I'm going to become one with the moon,
and I will rule it, as i llok down upon this world for eternity.
That's not happening.
Right!
The sunlight will send you back to the darkness, before you reach the moon.
You will be sent back to Makai.
Wow, scary.
We can stop talking right here!
Come to think of it, you guys don't have your armor right now, huh?
Come!
It seems time gets warped inside the ark...
I'll wait you up above.
Come and get me, if you can.
There you are!
Jinga...
I'll cut you down.
Oh, you are?
It seems you guys beat me once before...
Is that right?
But i'm still here, once more, about to fight you.
That gotta feel weird...
That's because you're Horrors.
So try to kill me!
Makai Knight.
You're right, I'm a Horror.
That is why as long as human malevolence exists, I can always come back.
And I'll cut you down as many times as needed!
You and...
Your friends...
All the people you've saved...
You will all die someday.
What is your point?
My point is, you are not eternal!
You can save all the people you want, but they will still die.
Kind of pointless, isn't it?
It's true, people woll eventually die...
The same goes for me.
But...
but even then...
I won't stop.
I, Golden Knight.
Garo won't back down from darkness.
Try and cut me then....
Golden Knight!
Ryuga!
Hey, look!
oh??
Youuu?
God's Fang is....
not you!
You're merely a tool for its activation.
This is all for the revival of my master!
And that master is...
the progenitor of all Horrors, Messiah!
A Makai Knight who has turned to darkness is needed for the revival.
but the knight that woman provided was too weak.
A dark knight worthy of reviving my master....
That's you, Jinga!
That's it, the moon.
They plan to summon Messiah using the moon itself as a gate!
I won't let that happen!
Dammit! What's going on?
You stupid woman.
What?
I knew what you were after this entire time.
But you know, the hopes of a bunch of puny Horrors like you...
this idea of traveling to the moon and becoming a king...
I sincerely couldn't care less about any of it.
You.
There's only one thing I've wanted since you brought me here!
Golden Knight GARO
Dougai Ryuga...
And cross swords with him again!
Get lost!
You are really great, huh?
And you're looking nice and fierce.
What?
You're just like me!
You emjoy fighting a strong enemy!
Am i strong?
You're always looking for a battle from deep of your heart.
So the truth is win or lose...
You don't really care either way, right?
I envy you.
You do?
You're not carrying a burden.
But I am!
And i can't afford to lose.
Heh?
If I win, the lives and futures of people will be safe!
That why i have to win.
That's my
my duty.
That sounds like a hell of a job, Dougai Ryuga.
And what exactly awaits you beyond that duty?
Light.
Light?
Shining in the darkness.
A light of hope, huh?
This is fun.
See you next time, Dougai.
Thre won't be a next time.
Return to the darkness.
Here.
Thank you.
This is something i gave to Banbi a long time ago.
She held onto it, huh?
Aguri, did you love her?
No.
It wasn't about man and woman, or romance, or anything like that.
This guy.
He just can't admit it. Right, Ryuga?
Ya
Rian.
What?
From now on...
I will keep being Garo.
Of course you will, what are you even saying?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is with you two?
"Rian, I'll keep being Garo."
"Of course you will, what are you even saying?"
What the hell with that? you might admit it as well!
Ryuga, until next time.
Uh.
Right.
Tell me when you two pump that kid out, yeah?
Let's go!
Uh
