Horrors?

Yes.

That's what those dark beasts have been called since ancient times.

Horrors cross over from Makai, and possess people.

Then, they assume that person's life.

Do you understand why?

So that 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 you're saying...

These dark beasts, they can never be wiped out?

Sadly, no.

But even if they can't be eradicated, horrors can be killed...

Or, more accurately, be sealed away.

What is this?

A Makai knight.

They are the natural enemy of horrors, and those who safeguard humanity.

They're our guardians?

I've learned something interesting, recently.

What's this?

A horror ark, called the god's fang.

The horrors can use it 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 simply be a fairy tale.

This is the location where the god's fang departs for the moon.

You're sure about that?

Positive.

The geography, the moon's astronomical path, and the calendar all point to this location.

W-why have you been researching this, professor?

Well, when horrors possess humans, they're able to change form.

Perhaps I'm one of them...

I'm just joking.

You hit me too...

You must be feeling feisty, boel.

We know where the ark will depart from, now.

But y'know, kinda sucks we had to find out from humans!

Shut it!

Hey, uh, can I eat him?

Fine, just don't make a mess.

‘Kay!

That just leaves...

The god's fang.

Silent, staring into the abyss

sensing the bloodlust within

howling, it's almost time to wake up

this showdown cannot be avoided

the legend that's been shut away

has to be kept out of the clutches of evil

bearing a resolve devoid of any hesitation

acting as a shield!

Stormclouds, thunder, lightning, and the flash of fangs! Acting as a shield!

Stormclouds, thunder, lightning, and the flash of fangs!

Stormclouds, thunder, lightning, and the flash of fangs! Break the fang of god

break the fang of god

let your roar ring out loud

stay gold, and face them now! Let your roar ring out loud

stay gold, and face them now!

Stay gold, and face them now! Burn like an inferno

burn like an inferno

blowing as proudly and strong as a whirlwind

piercing the dark clouds! Blowing as proudly and strong as a whirlwind

piercing the dark clouds!

Piercing the dark clouds! Jump through the flames to blow away the darkness

jump through the flames to blow away the darkness

and go beyond your fate...

Garo!

I figure it's about time.

Nicely done.

You...!

Are you okay?

Alright, training is good and all, but four at once?

You could've handled it.

The 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...

Did you see something?

Or did you sense something?

Nah.

Well, if you say so.

Training time's over. I sense a horror nearby.

Got it.

Hey, baby! Good to see you!

What's the big deal?!

Lemme go!

Hold it!

Help me!

Hold it, ryuga.

What's up?

The horror's presence is gone.

Gone?

I figure someone else in the business must've gotten to it.

Someone else...

Another Makai knight, huh?

The moon gazes down

looking at you

there is a blade in your hands and it is

the silver edge...

Banbi?!

It's good to see you again, aguri.

I need to ask a favor.

Akemi!

You okay?

Do I fucking look okay?!

I guess you're right...

Does it hurt~?

Fuck you!

You gonna be okay?

Boop!

Hey! Looks like quite the little party.

.. 0 a 2 . A i a oo Ade I a oo ln . Aa lo I oo a na a I. =. A i I I . . Ne 0 in

does that hurt too?

It really hurt that bad, boy?

Yeah, it fucking does!

But I've gotta say, right now...

I'm feeling a lot better.

Come on, now.

You...

I heard there was a horror leading a crew of dumbasses.

Figured I'd drop by to say hi.

Go take a dump and go to bed.

Damn, I'm hungry.

Who are you?

I need to ask a favor.

You do, huh?

Well, I make a point of hearing out ladies in need of my help.

Priests can't deal with soul metal, y'know.

So... what's your pleasure?

I need your armor.

Well, that, I can't do.

You bitch...

Aguri?!

Kusugami aguri?

Aguri did that?

You do know him, then.

Right. We sealed zedom together.

Your comrade may have fallen to darkness.

Oh, no...

Over the last few days, 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's hard to believe...

I know, right? I couldn't believe it either.

Takeru!

Hey.

It's been a while, ryuga, rian.

Why are you here?

Wait...

Yeah, it's me.

The dumbass Makai knight who got his armor taken.

Ryuga...

You are to work with jakuzure takeru and investigate what is going on.

Right.

Aguri, you bastard...

Takeru...

How's it feel to lose your armor?

Do you feel pathetic?

What the fuck?!

Hey! Give it a rest!

Most people would feel that way...

A Makai knight's armor is his whole life.

You're damn right it is!

There are times when my armor has felt like a burden.

But even so... for a knight, their armor 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.

Man, shut up.

Some horrors are nearby.

Got it.

Rian, find aguri and this mysterious Makai priest.

Got it.

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, then?

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?

Got orders.

We'd like to help out, but we've gotta handle this.

I'm sorry, rian.

It's okay.

Just be careful, both of you.

Don't worry about us. Gald is here, too.

Rian... give dougal my regards.

Ice cream, oh so sweet...

Gonna take a big old bite!

A perfect treat for a trip through the mountains!

Maybe we can dig a hole up in the sky!

Hey, they're here! They're here!

Well, that was easier than I expected.

Which one's garo? Huh, which one?

Hey, what's up, I'm the golden knight!

Like he's just gonna announce it, dumbass.

Boel...

You can eat them both.

Okay!

That hurt!

Owiel

don't, ryuga!

Aguri!

Ryuga, we can talk later!

Banbi, give that sword to me!

Shoot her, aguri!

Well, we kept our end of the deal.

So I can eat them, right?

Yeah. Do as you please.

What's going on here?

She's here for your armor,

and we are after your flesh.

That explain things, golden boy?

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 knight holding the title of garo

is supposed to turn you into the strongest horror.

I wanna be the very best!

Banbil!

Have you sold your soul to these horrors?!

Aguri...

The banbi you knew is dead.

We've got some tasty golden knight meat...

It'd be greedy for just the two of us to eat it all.

I think it's meal time.

Asshole—!

Stop!

We lost our fucking armor because of him!

It's good to see you again, aguri.

What happened? You need to explain what's going on.

That Makai priest, banbi...

We're childhood friends.

That bitch... 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 guy?

That kinda thing just doesn't work, man.

No, I've heard of something like this before.

That, by using the power of armors,

dark knights can be resurrected for a single night.

Just one night?

That's right.

And you assholes took my armor for that...

You should've given her 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 her, but she wouldn't listen!

She went looking for other knights...

Then she ran into takeru, who was hunting horrors.

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.

Yeah.

Well, we better shape up, then.

But resurrecting him for only one night... What's the point?

Well... maybe she has unfinished business?

Or maybe a little bit of...

You can cook up some kids, even if it's just one night, y'know?

I don't know what she wants.

She might just want to see him again.

And that's it?

That's crazy...

That's enough of a reason.

I understand how she must feel.

Judo...

What are you going to do?

I will settle this.

On your own?

This is my problem.

Banbi's human, not a horror.

But she's working with horrors.

Well, in that case...

We're damn well not gonna let you go solo.

We're Makai knights.

Let's go, together.

Right. You've got a Makai priest watching your backs, too.

Dammit 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?

They seem to be masking the malevolence, but look here.

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 of anything like that.

I think you're right.

It's probably just a pretense they came up with to trick banbi.

Banbi wants to resurrect the dead...

And somehow, that works to the advantage of these horrors.

But how?

What's up, d.Ringo?

That's...

This shit is a lot worse than just some resurrection voodoo.

What are you talking about?

It's the god's fang!

God's fang?

The moon gazes down

looking at you

there is a blade in your hands and it is

the silver edge that I long to see you wield

the green sways in the breeze

dripping with the evening dew

and even if it all becomes

a festering mire

I will reach out beckoning

calling you to me

welcoming you to a dark, lonely path

I will be the light

guiding your way like the moon

I'll be by your side, until the day you turn to dust

I'll see you soon. I'll be by your side, until the day you turn to dust

I'll be by your side, until the day you turn to dust

will you be glad to see me? I'll be by your side, until the day you turn to dust

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.

You're sure about that?

Yeah.

But that's ancient history, right?

Could just be some bullshit someone came up with.

No. It's the truth.

You're—!

Uh, er...

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.

Yeah.

Banbil!

Stop this!

There's no time! Get to work!

Banbi, you're being used!

If you let this chance slip by, you'll never see your beloved again!

Aguri... I'm sorry!

Banbil!

Judo!

Who are—"?!

Who?

Good question. Don't really know.

Hey, whassup.

Jinga...

Jinga's my name?

Why?!

I see.

So, you're all horrors,

and you're looking to get your hands on this ark called the god's fang?

Well, that sounds like fun.

You're not going anywhere!

We don't have any time to waste dealing with them all!

'‘Kay~

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.

Hey!

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...

Hell, it's not like we have to, right?

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're already banged 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, huh?

Yes.

Sounds fun. I remember a guy who used to go by that.

Hey, he...

Don't just stand there, get a move on, ugly!

Wait, me?

No way...

Seriously?

We're building this ark.

We don't summon it.

We build it...

Oh, no!

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?

No signal at all...

What's going on? I don't get it...

Move!

Dammit...

Lady ryume!

I know. Get clear!

Everyone, get back!

Now, go!

This way!

Hurry!

Are you okay? — yes! V:

Run for it!

Rian, get everyone clear!

Everybody, this way!

Hurry!

Let's go!

This way.

Where is banbi?

You're really that worried about her?

She's become lord jinga's puppet.

Are you okay?

Next.

There's only horrors left in the building.

Something about your voice rings a bell...

Jinga...

That was apparently 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... how—"2!

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!

Come on!

Well, shit.

The first knights who fought horrors didn't even have armor.

They defeated horrors with arrows made with soul metal.

Ryuga.

This building... no, this ark is about to take off.

Is there a way to stop it?

Its source of power...

We just have to beat jinga.

I'm sorry.

Banbil!

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 happens when I get to the moon on this ark?

What are you getting at?

I'm going to become one with the moon,

and I will rule it, as I look 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'll be sent back to Makai!

Wow, scary.

We done chitchatting?

Come to think of it, you guys don't have your armor right now, yeah?

Bring it on.

It seems time gets warped inside the ark...

I'll be waiting up above.

Come and get me, if you can!

There you are.

Jinga...

I will cut you down.

Oh, you are?

It seems you guys beat me once before...

Isn't that right?

But here I am, once more, about to fight you.

That's gotta feel weird...

Doesn't it?

That's because you're a horror.

So try and cut me, Makai knight.

You're right, I am a horror.

Which 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...

Your friends...

All the people you've saved...

You will all die someday.

What's your point?!

My point is, you're not eternal.

You can save all the people you want, but they will still die.

Kinda pointless, isn't it?

It's true, people will eventually die...

The same goes for me.

But...

But even then...

I won't stop.

I won't stop being the golden knight...

I will never stop being garo!

Try and cut me down, then...

Golden knight!

Jin

ga

ryuga!

Look!

Ryuga!

You...

You are not the true lord and master of the god's fang.

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!

To find the golden knight, garo...

Dougai ryuga...

And cross swords with him again!

Get lost.

You really are strong, man!

And you're looking nice and fierce.

What?!

You're just like me!

You enjoy fighting a strong enemy!

Am I wrong?

In your heart,

you're always lusting for a battle that'll make you feel truly alive!

So the truth is, win or lose...

You don't really give a shit either way, right?

I envy you.

You do?

You're not carrying a burden.

But I am!

And I cannot afford to lose!

If I win, the lives and futures of people will be safe!

Which is why I have to win!

That's my...

My duty!

That sounds like a hell of a job, dougai ryuga.

And what exactly waits for you beyond that duty?

Light.

Light?!

Shining in the darkness...

A light of hope, huh?

This was fun.

See you next time, dougal.

There won't be a next time.

Return to the darkness.

Hey.

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?

Yeah.

Rian.

What is it?

From now on...

I'll 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?!" Swoon swoon!

What the hell's with that? You might as well admit it...

Ryuga.

Until next time.

Right.

Yeah.

Tell me when you two pump that kid out, yeah?

Let's go.

Right.

The moon gazes down

looking at you

there is a blade in your hands and it is

the silver edge that I long to see you wield

the green sways in the breeze

dripping with the evening dew

and even if it all becomes

a festering mire

I will reach out beckoning

calling you to me

welcoming you to a dark, lonely path

I will be the light

guiding your way like the moon

I'll be by your side, until the day you turn to dust

and though ripples tore my soul, like a stone was cast

you never knew the truth

that which you thought was so innocent carried a vendetta

the person you longed for is gone

there's no sign of her left in this world

all that's left is the moon's beauty

I will never leave you, no matter what becomes of you

I'll love you, every time the crimsom blood is spilled

I will conceal the darkness

like a cloud floating through the sky

until the day we meet again

the moon gazes down

looking at you

looking down at you

think you can take her, jinga?

We'll see.
