GARO: Fang of God (GARO 神ノ牙)

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.
