Guide to GARO: Reintroduction
Approximately 4 years ago, I initiated a series of posts introducing every aspect of the GARO Franchise (all under the GARO tag here) and have endeavoured to keep these up over the years over some 30-40 posts. However, the first major media development since then has recently finished, and while I have already covered it, I felt updating the Introductory post was prudent, and will cover the basics and breakdown the franchise.
The Basics
"Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. But by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope."
In the world of GARO exists HORRORS, demonic entities from the Makai Realm, which consume humans, and can possess those who do all to darkness. When possessing a human a Horror can only be identified by the reaction of it's eyes to a Madou Flame. The only thing stopping the Horrors are the Makai Order.
The greatest opposition comes in the for of the Makai Knights, warriors who fight with weapons and magical, wolf-shaped armour made of mystical Soul Metal, the armour summoned by creating circles of light with their weapons which the armour emerges from. The most revered, and commonly considered the strongest Knight is the Golden Knight GARO. While the Knights focused on in a series are normally titles Knights with a unique armour, many Knights are without title and possess a generic armour. An Armour and Title will typically be passed down from father to son, or master to student. Due either to a law or some other factor, women may not be Makai Knights
The other main opponents to the Horrors are the Makai Priests, who rely on spells either using their Madou Brushes or other magical items. Due to lacking armour, in combat Makai Priests may sometimes have to rely on magical familiars, or specialised Madou Tools created by subjugating Horrors.
Some titled Makai Knights are partnered with special Madougu, sentient jewelry acting as avatars for benign Horrors to communicate with a Makai Knight they are contracted to, offering insights on the Horrors they fight or helping detect their activities, GARO's eternal partner is the Madou Ring, Zaruba, the only character to have definitively appeared in live action and animation. The prevalence of Madougu partners varies wildly by era, being almost universal among titled Titles Knights at some points, and virtually unheard of in others.
Certain Makai Knights can, after sealing 100 Horrors, be given a challenge the completion of which allows them the use of a Madou Horse associates with their armour.
Dependent on the era, Makai Order members act in their own volition, under the guidance in senior Makai Priests, or under the auspices of Watchdogs who oversee activity within a territory.
A common but not universal feature of the franchise are Dark Makai Knights, who have fallen to darkness in some way. This has been done in so many different ways I won't go into it. Dark Makai Priests have also appeared, but are less common. Another common feature is acquiring a special transformation for the final battle that is typically seen as a one-off.
Rather than list every entry in release order, I will be breaking my introductions into eras, some of which can be further divided. In essence though, there are 2 distinct eras, plus a few extra, and the anime.

RWBY x Garo: Into the Fire
Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet by the blade of the knights, Mankind was given hope.
A crowd booed and jeered, pelting Jaune with stones, dirty clothes and rotten fruits and vegetables. He could do nothing but grit his teeth and bare the pain as he was dragged across the streets by the inquisitors of Vale. Small tears were forming in his eyes and his face tensed from trying to supress his sadness. He felt like a failure. It was only his second mission and he had already made a mess of things. His "trial", if you could even call it that, didn't allow for him to defend himself. Every lord and lady threw accusations of witchcraft against him, for which he could not rebuff thanks to the sways of the young priest, Cardin Winchester.
The inquisitors stopped in the middle of the city and dragged Jaune up to the pyre, bounding him up tight. Walking towards him with Cardin, dressed in a wine red robe and a a golden emblem of the cardinal bird on his back.
Cardin: *smiles sinisterly* Good people of Vale, we have gathered here today to witness justice! *points to Jaune* What we have here is a witch! A heretic servant of the Grimm sent here to uproot our peaceful lives and bring damnation upon us!
The boos of the crowd grew louder. Jaune hung his head, not wanting to face the humiliation.
Cardin: Thanks to our fine inquisitors, we have captured the witch and now, we shall send him back to the depths of hell where he belongs! *turns to Jaune* Do you have any last words to say before we cleanse you?
Jaune glared at Cardin, his eyes bloodshot with anger. Cardin simply smirked and lit the pyre with a torch. Jaune heard the cheers of the crowd as sweat began dripping from his skin and the heat was becoming intense. His lungs were filled with the toxic smoke and he coughed violently. It was pitiful. Jaune couldn't believe that he was dying like this. Suddenly, the cries of a horse alerted the crowd and a woman riding on horseback leapt into the town square. She quickly dismounted and, using only her fists, started to beat down the inquisitors one by one. Cardin drew his knife and tried to attack, only to be disarmed and knocked down. She turned to the pyre and raised her hands, splitting it so that it wouldn't crawl to Jaune. Walking up to him, she cut open the binds and caught him as he fell into her arms. With a sharp whistle, she called her stallion and jumped into him, riding off with Jaune in toe.
They rode for an hour until they stopped at the woods. The mysterious stranger dismounted again and let go of Jaune, who was still in shock at the whole ordeal.
Jaune: Um, thank you mademoiselle. Not many people would've raised their arms to save someone like me.
Stranger: Well unlike them, I actually have a heart. Watching an innocent die like that is sickening and the fact that they have the nerve to cheer about it. *clenches fist*
Jaune: I am truly grateful. *bows* May I ask your name?
The mysterious woman unhooded herself, revealing light tanned skin, luscious golden blonde hair and bright eyes that resembled the lilac flower. Jaune immediately stood back, in awe at her stunning beauty. She gave him a warm smile and reached out to touch his hand.
Yang: My name is Yang Xiao Long. You could say I'm a kindred spirit of sorts. *shows Jaune a necklace*
Jaune: *eyes wide* T-That's a necklace from the Makai Order. Y-You're a Makai Knight?
Yang: *nods head*That I am. From now on, your life is mine and my life is yours. *touches his hand*
Jaune felt a warm sensation course through his body. Not one of hatred and death like the fires from the t,ial. but a soft and gentle warmth that reminded him of his role as a protector of mankind. From her pockets, Yang handed him another necklace. It was a golden yellow pendant in the shape of a burning heart. Jaune smiled and held the pendant to his chest. His will to fight had returned.

Laito is the third eldest son of Sakamaki Karlheinz' by birth, and fifth by tradition. As both a pureblood Vampire and part Vibora, Laito was fifth in-line for the throne before his mysterious disappearance.
Considering Karlheinz' assassination, and Richter's working down the line of his heirs, Laito's disappearance was suspiciously timed. Furthermore, none of his brother's have heard from him since their uncle's ascension to the throne. Despite this, Richter has ordered Ryuuto, alongside Reiji, to use what resources they have available to keep a constant search through the Makai - and human cities neighbouring Kaminashi City - in search of his whereabouts.
Little to anyones knowledge, Laito has immersed himself as one of the King's personal guardsmen, keeping his real identity a secret for his own safety. In doing so, Laito retains the upper-hand, with near-unrestricted access to Richter, Aurora, and - in turn - Ryuuto. Whether he plans to use this to his personal advantage, and for his own political or murderous gain, remains uncertain.
Laito also - albeit rarely - finds amusement in doubling as a priest for the same Church his late father was in contact with. These various alternative identities provide many a means of escape from his uncle, and half-sibling; Should one cover be blown, he has another to fall back upon.

Lore and scripture in the Far East reflect a broadly-held belief that there is more than one world - or more aptly, reality. The world that we plainly see, or Mikai, may be all that most ever know. With the right perception or focus, however, one can observe nature and realize there is more to it all, above and below.
Close in the distance and the most evident is Yukai, the hidden or ghost world. As what can be considered on just the fringe of our reality (a liminal space), it is the one that is most like ours, though often described as a world of different hues; even here, worldly logic begins to distort. Here is where spirits with some sort of anchor to the world dwell, unable to truly pass on without intervention. Also able to engage with and hide within it are beings of a certain supernatural disposition: yoi and yokai, as well as the kami.
It is separated from the natural world by a proverbial veil, just beyond plain sight, but this veil can lift or fray under the right conditions (like abnormal fluxes of qi), and the two worlds can interact. Yukai is the source of many a ghost story as such, but more importantly it is key to the practices of us shrine priests. Those adept or gifted can exploit the fragility of the veil, and we can make contact with the hidden world and its denizens. Most often this plays a key role in the exorcism of threats to life, or helping lost souls find closure.
Beyond Yukai, there are variable accounts of other worlds; less tangible and more disputed, not all of which may fall into one's chosen beliefs or may have intermingled qualities. Yomi, the land of the dead overseen by Izanami, a shadowy neutral realm. Tengoku, the heavens for the righteous and redeemed. Meido, the land of trials, an arduous path for souls who have passed on with considerable metaphysical baggage. Jigoku, the hells where soul and sin are cleansed in fire. Shinkai, the demesne of the kami. Makai, a realm of demons, sometimes considered a fringe world of Jigoku.

finished makai no hana recently! it seems to be a bit of a consistent problem with the series, but i feel like the overarching narrative direction always feels at least a little confused.
the themes are very straightforward (cultivation of human kindness and dignity etc.), but the story that carries it is a bit ???
in regards to intrigue though, i really liked "kyoujuu" and "guren"!! as someone who really enjoys the makai priests of the series, it was a bit unfortunate for me personally to see them make a smaller showing, but what was there was neat.
the episodic work and direction was often very charming as usual though! off the top of my head, some in particular that i enjoyed were the "dining table" and "black tea" episodes. gonza's sincerity towards those of his fostered family is always so nice to see :) it made even a simple recap episode feel warm and kind!

The Horrors (ホラー, Horā) are a race of parasitic demon like entities that are the sole inhabitants and civilians of the dark realm of makai. They are the parasitic race of abominations that plagued gensokyo and upon humanity for a millennia when crossed over into the realms. Not only are they the citizens of both the uncivilized and civilized regions of makai but are also the physical manifestation of negative and dark energies by man. Whenever there's a great build-up of hate, rage, sadism, and acts of violence are committed, these negative energies seep into the Makai Realm, a place where the Horrors exist and feed on such energy.
Shinki the benevolent goddess of makai is the one responsible for the creation of the horrors along with the creation of the realm alongside the few noticeable and more well known inhabitants such as Sariel and along with the progenitor of these creatures that long ago during Gensokyo' s creation and when the realm was young do was the dark realm of makai with her blood spilled into the emptiness of the void, and the dark essence known only as inga spilled all in the emptiness birth not only the realm but also the progenitors of the horrors she and the others call the messiahs which lead to the birth of the horrors and Makai's residents.
Legend speaks of the very first creation of Shinki the Messiah, mother of all Horrors that gave birth to this demonic race and her spawn has continued to thrive without their progenitor for generations all are drawn to negative energies and human flesh, Horrors break into the mortal realm to feast upon humanity. The messiahs are the immortal beings that can only be defeated, but not destroyed by anything. Not even the dragon god or the shrine maiden could not destroy her. The messiah is not only the only being that could not be destroyed by anything but are the Messiah is the most unusual Horror, even among legendary ones because she' s the only Horror that appears, well, almost perfectly human in form, resembling a giant snow white skinned half naked woman with long-clawed fingers and unique jewelry and tattoos around her head and shoulders. Her back contains a Taoist halo but despite the messiah being completely unkillable as long as the darkness are within the hearts of all races of gensokyo mainly with humanity her spirit requires immense levels of darkness to resurrect herself (approximately 1,000 Horrors) and a girl born on the sixth day of the sixth month which marked upon her 6th birthday as her new vessel to give herself a physical form.
For millions of years until the precent day the horrors have plagued gensokyo terrorize both yokai and humans alike as well as the humans of the outside world. This was the at the time the birth of the makai order and the golden age of the ronin come to it' s aid striking and fought back against all form of horrors from the east, the west and all other across the realm. Sendai no miko one of the first ever shrine maidens in the hakurei line have fought the horrors endlessly with no end until her death by the legendary in the karakuri incident. Today in the precent the lunar descent ceremony, the lunar insanity plague, the racism against the lunarians and the constant wars play a key roll into their horrifying resurgence and this time there are no other knights or priests anymore in the land that has long forgotten both the makai order and the ronins. The darkness within all of gensokyo is greater than thet anticipated before. The horrors have return and no one but the crimson dragon can stop them.

Decided to start on animated Garo. Gotta say, he has a point about his armor inheritance, but German's character I more expect from a makai priest, not a knight.
I mean, really, Rei is probably the most flippant RL Garo knight, and you'd never see him naked on the street.
... that last sentence probably made a few people cry.

Guide to GARO: Part 20: GARO Hagane wo Tsugu Mono
A return of the GARO Franchise after 4 years, this series returns us to Dougai Ryuga, some years after the the events of KAMINOKIBA.
Dougai Ryuga is called by Makai Priestes Mutsugi to CREACITY, to assist the local Makai Knights and Priests in attempting to seal the Gate of Destruction, an Ancient Horror Gate sealed beneath the city, and believed to be reopening, as people within CREACITY have been becoming Horrors too easily. There he encounter Shirahame Souma, CREACITY's Makai Knight, who is a little too protective of his territory, and may need some reminders of what it means to be a Makai Knight.
Now a veteran Makai Knight, well known enough that by name people know he is the Golden Knight. While he continues to use the same style he's used in recent years, Zaruba no longer has his shield, returned to the red eye appearance. A few years ago, Ryuga met Godou, and learnt from him the Flashing Cut, and made a promise to watch over Souma if they met.
Shirahame Souma is the only current Makai Knight in CREACITY. A young titleless Knight who wears a HAGANE armour, he has refused to leave for training or accept another Knight in the territory for the past 3 years, wanting Godou to be able to reclaim his territory when he returns. Prideful and not in full control of his emotions yet, he has been known to risk human lives due to reckless fighting of Horrors. Despite his training, he has yet to master the Flashing Cut.
Koyori is a junior Makai Priestess in CREACITY, training under Mutsugi. She goes to request Ryuga's aid on Mutsugi's orders, and fights alongside both him and Souma. Close to Souma, she understands his feelings more than most, even if she knows he is too prideful at present.
Mutsugi is the senior Makai Priestess in CREACITY. Due to understanding Souma's feelings she has not forced him to seek training. Has detected the increase in Horror awakening and determined the source as the Gate of Destruction, and knows the Gate first showed signs of disruption 3 years ago around the time Godou disappeared.
Igusu, Ron and Obi and 3 titleless Makai Knights collectively known as the AGORA Swordsmen, responsible for defending the area surrounding CREACITY, they are called by Mutsugi to help in preparation for the attempt to seal the Gate of Destruction. Igusu, the mentor of the 3, is an old friend of Godou, and while he misses his friend, he feels Souma should have been sent for training, and feels he needs to open his eyes to the worse possibilities of Godou's disappearance. Ron is Igusu's senior pupil, a competent Knight whom Igusu recommends placing in charge of CREACITY. Obi, the junior pupil, is still inexperienced, and places a little too more stock in titles, but is able to fight well alongside his allies. Like Souma, all 3 wear HAGANE, Igusu having red eyes, Ron green and Obi yellow.
A mysterious Seducer appears to those falling to darkness within CREACITY and tempts then to darkness.

Is there a lot of crossover between Hero Academia and Tokusatsu fans? I was struck by the idea of a BNHA x Garo crossover.
Izuku Midoriya comes from nothing and thanks to his determination and grit inherits the legendary Garo armor from All Might. This pisses off his childhood BFF/rival Bakugou who's been training for that armor his entire life (his parents would be a Makai knight and Makai priest). Shouto Todoroki is also a Makai knight descended from a long line of knights (Endeavor is a knight with a long standing rivalry with All Might)
The villains can be Horrors. Dabi could have trained as a knight before becoming a horror.
For added angst some characters could be Makai tools like Mayuri.

As Jaaku walked inside the home the older sister have finally come out of the room and she's going to greet her older sister.
' BRRRAAACCKK! '
.....By barging out of the room. Sigma Fudo, in the flesh a dark contrast to Mei-ling and a powerful dark makai priest, a half horror handcrafted by Jedah before they both rebelled and escaped from his wrath.
" Ahh, Jaaku how are you? "
Jaaku smiles and waves before hugging her tightly with her arms wrapped around her older sister.
" Hey heeeeyyy!! "
She sighed and just hugged her back it felt so long she felt her sweet embraced.
" It's been so long since you've hugged me when you were ten years old... "
She flusters a bit in embarrassment from her older sister telling her the time she was ten.
" Seriously sis? Well, I was a bit scared of the dark. "
" A bit? Oh hardly! "
" I use to be scared of the dark now? I AM the dark sis! "
" Well, you're a personification of darkness, a shadow just as I am sister.... "
" And I LOVE it! "
#{ Musing: Jaaku }#{ Musing: Sigma Fudo }#{ The Dark One }#{ The Red Masked Priestess }#{ A Dark Reunion...well not really }#SoundCloud
