GARO 20th Anniversary Film

Why did you stop?

That...

You have a gentle heart.

But your kindness cannot protect others.

You must find your own way.

Zaruba, do you feel it?

Yes. I sense a hint of Horror.

It's a Horror.

Flame Beast Horror, Candolier.

Oh, come on.

Let me feed on at least one.
Then, I'll leave.

I guess a Makai Knight
won't let me do that.

You.

If that hit you, it could have been bad.

I know.

Taiga, there's a new mission.

A mission? Already?

The Sacred Beasts protect humanity
with their powers of the earth.

The Compass carrying
their souls was stolen.

You want me to retrieve the Compass?

Precisely.

Watch Dogs have sent an envoy.

Greetings, Taiga.

I am Fuki, servant of the Sacred Beasts.

Do you know of the Sacred Beasts?

I've heard they are mighty
powers protecting us humans.

Seiryu shields mankind
with powers of the earth.

"Seiryu"

Suzaku's blazing flames incinerate malice.

"Suzaku"

Genbu commands pure
waters and cleanses all sins.

"Genbu"

Byakko's winds rouse courage,
giving us strength and wisdom.

"Byakko"

Long ago, the four were
hailed as the Four Gods.

The Four Gods' souls once dwelt
apart, each in its own place and era.

Our ancestors bound them
together in a single Compass.

This was found on the slain Makai Guide.

We believe it's from a Horror.

Why would Horrors want the Compass?

That's obvious.

Without it, malevolence from the
Makai Realm will flood our world.

For them, that's a perfect world.

It's true that malevolence would
spread if the Compass is not enshrined.

But that would be a slow process.
It will take time.

There must be another reason.

Can you give me this piece of scale?

Sure.

It's a Snake Venom Horror.

A nasty Horror that feeds on people's
memories and skills to gain power.

Perhaps they aim to gain the power
of the Sacred Beasts with the Compass.

But the Compass holds talismans
imbued with the Sacred Beast's souls.

Even if a Horror devours them,
it can't unleash their power.

Exactly. Horrors can only feed on humans.

They can't gain power through
talismans or sacred tools.

Whatever the reason,
Horrors stole the Compass.

We must hurry.

I'll go into town.

Wait.

There is a way for Horrors
to feed on a Sacred Beast.

How?

By transferring the Sacred
Beast's soul to a human being.

First, you choose a human
and transfer the soul.

In human form, the Sacred
Beasts wine and dine for one night.

We made a promise to allow
them that once every 100 years.

But you said the Guide was found dead.

There were two Guides
transporting the Compass.

We only found one body.

The other Guide can also use that spell?

Yes.

That means they could cook up a
feast filled with enormous power.

Zaruba, can you trace the Compass?

Yes, the piece of scale is working.

Keep going straight, Taiga.

The souls of the Sacred Beasts
are sealed in this Compass.

All we need now are four bodies.

Hold the talisman over each one,

and the Sacred Beast's soul
will enter the human body.

I could do that myself.

No, you can't.

To break the seal, you need this mark.

That's right.

I need that.

You tricked me!

You may feed on him.

I need four bodies.

Find them.

Fabulous.

Now, let's await tonight's moon.

Let me out.

Hey! Let us out.

What's happening?

You lost the trace?

Yeah.

They're using blood and flesh
to block me from tracking them.

This Horror is quite clever.

Not that clever.

Blocking us from tracking them
means we are close to their hideout.

Please stop.

Let me go.

Trying to feed on anyone you find?

You're a Makai Knight?

Run.

Here's what you wanted.

Finally, you're awake.

You're such an easy mark.

The Horror who stole the Compass
anticipated a Makai Knight coming.

A Golden Knight shouldn't
fall for such an easy trap.

You're right.

Unfortunately, they took your sword.

We captured the Makai Knight.

Just one Makai Knight?

Yes. He's contained within a barrier.

If another comes, capture them.

You may feed on him.

Thank you.

See you after the ritual.

Here it is.

A talisman?

Yes, I can break the barrier with it.

Did you get captured on purpose?

Of course.

They plan to transfer the
Sacred Beast's souls to feed on.

The one in the feathered cloak,

and the two next to him are Horrors.

The rest are simple humans.

Zalba, let's do a Spiritual Precognition.

Got it.

You owe me your lifespan
for the duration of the spell.

I see it.

Are you the only one here?

The Guides were cautious.

What do you mean?

I'm not here to listen to your story.

Snake Venom Horror, Jado.

Your Grudge. I will sever it!

The captured humans and
their subordinates are all alive.

Good to know.

Let's go home then.

Byakko is missing.

Missing? What do you mean?

Byakko's soul seems to have been unleashed.

If a Sacred Beast's soul
transferred to a human, I'd notice.

No.

Unless the Sacred Beast chooses to awaken,

the transfer would be unnoticed.

It was a man...

I remember his face.

If the Sacred Beast awakens, it
will change its physical appearance.

Still, if it shared a bond with a human,

wouldn't it choose to return?

Well...

Byakko is known to have a habit of
escaping and roaming the human world.

Twelve years ago,

when I was still a child, he
once possessed a Guide and fled.

Of course, my uncle and
others contained the situation.

Twelve years ago...

Do you recall anything?

No.

But a Sacred Beast in human
form makes an easy target.

We must find him.

What's happening?

The Sacred Beasts want
to tell you something.

Golden Knight.

You did well last night.

Thanks to you, we are safe.

The Four Gods...
Actually, Three Gods now.

We thank you, Golden Knight.

I simply fulfilled my duty.

We shall provide you
with a clue to locate him.

I promise to bring him back.

He truly loves humans.

You shall find him where people gather.

No luck here.

As much as he loves humans,
he also loves the wind.

Feeling the breeze in a human
body is the best experience.

Wind...

What? Do you want a drink?

He's great.

Have some more.

Let's go back.

Why?

He's drinking.

Wind is great, but
alcohol is his favorite.

Among the four of us,
Byakko loves to drink the most.

He loves human booze.

Found him.

He's my master.

Your master?

He taught me when I was ten.

Byakko is your master?

Yes. It's him.

I'm quite sure.

Kid, are you okay?

Yes, sir.

Your imaginary warrior.
His moves are too simple.

You can see him?

I can see everything created by a human.

How?

I'm not an ordinary human, kid.

Your imaginary warrior.

Feel his way of attack with
your body, mind and heart.

I did it.

Did you feel the sound
and color of the attack?

Yes, sir.

Keep coming.

That was excellent.

Unfortunately, our training is over.

Really?

I must return to where I came from.

Kid.

Do you wish to become a Knight?

Yes, sir.

This is a good sword.

But this sword alone will
not make you stronger.

This is malevolence
floating in the human world.

Hatred, anger, sadness, and
resentment all stuck together.

Grudge...

Yes. Grudge.

Take your sword.

Use it against me.

However, you must not touch me.

Cut through the malevolence
only without touching my body.

Do it!

It's good to see you.

It's you. Hi kid.

You've grown so much.

I'm here to take you back.

Take me?

Okay. Got it.

Thank you, guys.

Much appreciation for
the drinks and a good time.

What was that?

He can speak. He's Japanese.

The breeze here is great.
Don't you think so?

I agree.

It's a nice gentle breeze.

I knew you'd understand.

Keep it up, kid.

Can you stop calling him a kid?

Is that a Madō Ring?

You really became a Makai Knight.

Hey. I'm his master.

Although it was just for seven days.

So I've heard.

I am Zaruba, his partner.

Great to meet you, Zaruba.

I never imagined
I'd see you in this mission.

Just as I thought, you were not human.

In twenty years, there will
be a ritual to become human.

For now, let's go back with me.

Well...

Can you give me one more day?

Tell me why.

There's someone I want to meet.

Another apprentice?

No, he's an old man.

He only wakes up once in three days.

His house is just ahead.

Tomorrow, he'll be
sunbathing in his backyard.

Understood.

I will talk to Fuki.

For now, let's move to somewhere safe.

Horrors may come to feed on you.

Okay.

But before we go,

show me how strong you've become.

Stop! That's too dangerous!

Eating and drinking in
a human body is the best.

You possess great powers
beyond human comprehension.

Why do you wish to take
human form every 100 years?

I don't understand.

I told you.

Feeling the breeze, taking
a bath in the human body.

Having a drink and getting drunk.

It's the best thing ever.

Who is the old man in that house?

He's my son.

What?

That's what I thought.

80 years ago, on the night of the ritual,

I broke my promise and left
the mountains on my own.

The breeze was just too perfect.

Then, I was struck by
lightning and lost consciousness.

A young woman saved me.

I didn't remember I was a Sacred Beast.
That my human body wasn't mine.

A baby was born.

When my son turned five,

that day arrived.

The Guides came and found me.

I remembered everything.

I remembered that I was not human.
That I did not belong there.

Don't worry.

We'll meet again.

You humans would say, "It felt
like my body was being torn apart."

So, when you vanished twelve years ago...

Yes.

I wanted to see my son, if not my wife.

But I couldn't find them.

Not even a clue.

So that's when you met
Taiga in the mountains.

You met Taiga? Really?

Yes. He was my master for seven days.

You were adorable, kid.

This time, you found your son.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Before leaving him,
I gave him my nail as a keepsake.

I felt the vibrations of
that nail from the house.

You wish to meet him in person?

Yes. You can put it that way.

He sleeps so peacefully.

Fuki, are your parents well?

I don't have any parents.

They were murdered years ago.

Murdered?

My parents died to save me from a
Guide who had fallen into darkness.

I was still a newborn.

I see.

They protected you with their lives.

Yes.

I am alive because my parents saved me.

But I was too young to remember anything.

I don't even remember their faces.

You must have dreamt of seeing
them even just for a moment.

Yes, I have.

But I'm just curious to
see what they look like.

It's not like I long to meet them.

Is that so.

Children who grow up
without knowing their parents...

They all have different feelings.

You're right.

We don't know how Byakko's son feels.

That's most important.

Fuki, do you think he resents his father?

I don't know.

He may not resent him now,

but in the past, he may have
thought his father abandoned him.

Even if he didn't, he
must have felt lonely.

He must have had a hard time,
living and trying to fill his void.

So I think...

Wanting to meet the son could
be selfish thinking of the parents.

Fuki, I...

I understand that you love your son.

But the fact is, you were
not able to love and raise him.

You look the same as the day you left him.

If you appear in front of
him saying you're his father,

that would be cruel for us humans.

You are absolutely right.

After all these years,
I will not say I'm his father.

You see...

Twelve years ago, I could not find him.
This time, I did.

He's alive.

I will not meet him.

Of course, I wish I could hug him.

But, look at me.

I understand how he'll feel
seeing me, exactly the same.

So...

I just want to see his face.

That's all.

He'll see his son from afar.

Is that okay?

We'll stop by the place tomorrow
before going to the shrine.

What do you say?

Alright.

Taiga, you are the Makai Knight who
saved Byakko and the Sacred Beasts.

I am a Guide, and I will obey you.

Fuki.

I lost my mother when I was young.

I wasn't abandoned,
but at times it was hard.

Fuki, may I ask you something?

It's hard to put into words...

Sometimes, I feel this warmth.
Like I'm being protected.

Have you ever felt it?

I have.

I think...

It could be my parents watching over me.

That's what I thought.

Then, you can understand
Byakko's feelings.

How parents feel about their children.

I know.

I was just jealous.

Jealous?

Yes.

I thought my parents were watching over me.

But...

It could be nothing.
I don't even know their faces.

On the other hand,

Byakko's feelings are real.

They both have strong
feelings for each other.

It's all real.

That's why I felt jealous.

I see.

Even though Byakko's feelings are real,

we don't know if his son remembers him.

No one knows if he wants
to see his father or not.

I don't think so.

Byakko gave his son his nail as a keepsake.

The son still carries it with him.

He must have feelings for his father.

I guess so...

Fuki, you may be right.

You said you lost your mother as a child.

Is your father still well?

Yes.

He retired years ago, and he's doing good.

But I haven't seen him in years.

How did you know?

I just thought so.

Taiga...

You're like a father.

A father?

Don't call me a father.

Master.

Byakko.

You...!

We can feed on Byakko's soul soon.

Your people fell into darkness as soon as
I promised them immortality.

Would you like to possess my powers?

Guide.

I will not sell my soul to darkness.

Let's go.

Fuki.

Okay.

Taiga, pass it to me.

No more feast...

But now I know which Guide
is protector of the Compass.

Go, Fuki.

Please. Let me use your powers.

The Guide has no powers.

Did you bid farewell to the Sacred Beasts?

I will not let you touch the Sacred Beasts!

Your spells have absolutely no power.

Fuki. Don't.

No.

I will fight. In my own way.

I see.

You borrowed power from the Sacred Beasts.

Interesting.

Taiga.

Take this.

Let us continue when I gain
the powers of the Sacred Beast.

I look forward to it, Golden Knight.

Fuki!

Zaruba.

Can you find him?

Yes. I can track his malevolence.

Let's go, Zaruba.

Wait.

You can't win without a plan.

I'm here. Inside the Madō Brush.

Master.

It's not just Byakko.

Yes. We're all in here.

We're cramped, but comfortable.

Fuki left you a message.

Taiga, if you find this Brush,
I have a favor to ask.

I transferred the Sacred
Beasts' souls into this Brush.

Please take this Brush and enshrine it.

Let me be a decoy.

In my own way, I shall protect
the Sacred Beasts and our world.

Zaruba, can you put up a barrier here?

Sure thing.

And call a messenger.

I'm going to save Fuki.

But wait.

Fuki emptied the Compass and
became a decoy to buy us time.

Do you want to waste that time?

No one should waste their lives.

Take us with you to save Fuki.

I can't do that.

I must safely enshrine you.
That's what I promised Fuki.

But how will you track him alone?

If you let us help, we
can find him in no time.

Come on. Let's save Fuki together.

But...

Kid. There's no time to think.

By going to save her, you'd
be breaking the promise anyway.

Isn't that so?

What is your strongest feeling now?

I want to save Fuki.

Then, think of the best
way to make that happen.

And do it!

I see it now.

I ask for your help.

Understood!

Where am I?

It's a place to feed on powerful beings.

Too bad. The Sacred Beasts aren't there.

Is that so.

You will never possess their powers.

You lose, Jado.

No. This is just the way I wanted.

You are the one I wish to feed on.

What?

Well.

To be exact, the fifth
Sacred Beast inside you...

Kirin.

My wish is to feed on
Kirin and possess its powers.

Hey kid, did you know?

Know what?

See? He doesn't know anything.

You wanted to save Fuki,
so I thought you knew.

The fifth Sacred Beast,
Kirin, is inside Fuki.

A Sacred Beast inside Fuki...

How do you know I am Kirin?

Well.

I was supposed to inherit Kirin.

But then, there was a better candidate.

My dream never came true.

You were a Guide of the Compass?

Indeed.

When I was a human.

A female human.

I was a Guide.

But because of a newborn baby,

I was unable to inherit Kirin.

That newborn has now grown,
and is standing right in front of me.

So my parents died fighting against...

Me.

I was human back then.

Your parents died in agony.

I still remember their final screams.

Stop. If you die,
I cannot possess Kirin's powers.

That would be such a waste.

Fabulous.

The more pain, the
better your flesh will taste.

Great use of the wind, kid.

Taiga. Why?

Don't worry.

We're here together.

The Sacred Beasts are with you.

Fabulous.

I'll feed on all of you.

Are you really a human?

Kid, we can let you
use our powers just once.

However, it will utterly
exhaust your life and soul.

I don't care. Let's fight together.

I am a Makai Knight. I hunt Horrors.

I have control of his right hand.
Slay him! Now!

He fed on Genbu!

He's using Genbu's powers.

Genbu's soul is not lost.

I can still feel it.

Alright then. Let's save Genbu.

But how?

Kid, go crush Jado's evil heart.

Retrieve Genbu's soul.

You mean, without touching his body?

Exactly. Remember our training.

How foolish.

Come and get it.

Well done, kid.

What were you thinking?

I tried to blow away the malevolence
using the wind of my sword.

That's what I was thinking.

That's it.

A strong will. Humans have that power.

Carry that power with your sword.

You have a gentle heart.

You are also a strong Knight.

Taiga.

Thank you.

No, you should thank them.

Thank you, Sacred Beasts.

Byakko, can you see?

Yes, I can.

I can feel him.

He's my son.

Thank you. I am grateful.

Fuki.

May I ask a favor?

Sure.

I missed you.

Yes.

I missed you too.

Those earrings.

They're sacred tools
inherited for generations.

Yes.

They are precious to me.
Passed down from my parents.

The love for our children never fades.

I felt it when Byakko was inside me.

I also heard a voice.

"We love our children even when
they're not children anymore."

Perhaps that voice was a
message from the future.

It could be.

Here is fine.

Fuki. You did great.

Thank you.

I want to thank you.

Meeting you has made me stronger than ever.

Thank you, Fuki.

I feel the same.

And Taiga...

You will become even stronger.

I hope so.

You will.

Be strong.

It hasn't changed.

No time to feel nostalgic.

Priest Amon awaits.

I know.

Can I help you?

Oh, I'm fine.

I just have the urge to sketch outside.

Sketch?

Yes. I'm an artist.

I was wandering around
looking for a subject.

How about them?

Great idea.

Such beauties, aren't they?

Yes. They're beautiful.

Thank you.
