GARO
“"Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. But by the blade of Knights, Mankind was given hope."”
The Makai fight a secret war against the demon forces known as Horrors, evil creatures that manifest themselves through darkness to devour Humanity. On the frontlines are the Makai Knights, given the task of watching over a district and eliminating any Horrors that manifest there. GARO follows the tales of the Knights bearing the title of ‘Golden Knight Garo’, and their duty to vanquish the Horrors and protect Humanity from the darkness.

GARO -VERSUS ROAD- Opening
Cast
Seasons
Makai Law decrees that any human stained by the blood of a Horror should be killed, or else they will die painfully in 100 days. This is the fate that has befallen Kaoru, a young girl caught in the middle of a fight between a Horror and a Makai Knight. Kouga Saejima—the Golden Knight Garo—defies this rule, and vows to find a way to purify Kaoru before her time is up.
