Garo: Yami o Terasu Mono
Story. "Yami o Terasu Mono" takes place at an alternative universe parallel to that of Saejimas' and focuses events on , a metropolis built around a volcano and infested by evil demons known as Horrors. Ryuga Dougai, a Makai Knight who has inherited the title of Garo the Golden Knight, is tasked to hunt them down. However, the Garo Armor had long lost its golden radiance and it is not as powerful as it used to be. Joining forces with fellow Makai Knights Aguri and Takeru, along Makai Priests Burai and Rian, Ryuga confronts the dark  side of the city that is plagued by a rare breed of Horrors called , and the mystery behind why a portion of the Garo Armor's golden light is restored every time he destroys one of them. Sequel. will be both a film and a television series that serve as sequels to "Yami o Terasu Mono". Wataru Kuriyama and Miki Nanri reprise their roles and are joined by new cast members (among them is Masahiro Inoue as the series antagonist Jinga). The film adaptation was released in theatres on March 28, 2015, while the television series began broadcast on April  3, 2015. Songs. JAM Project, performer on the theme songs for all previous entries in the franchise, will also perform the series theme songs. Kageyama, a member of the cast and JAM Project, says that the song he has written has already put him in tears in how much it has moved him. Continuity. Occurring at an unspecified point in the future (later said to take place within the 2200's), the series' featuring the character Ryūga Dōgai and his cast-mates does not have a defined relationship to the previous "Garo" installments and related specials, nor ones that relate  to them produced after this series despite sharing the same lore and mythology between them. Fans have popularized two theories in regards to this: These events take place in an entirely different universes to the series that focus on characters introduced in entries focused on the Saejima family line seen of the original series , or that it is in the future of the same timeline and the length between them was to allow for dissociation from the former's story so the new lead character would be allowed to stand on his own, separate from the previous family line of  Garo-bearers. As of the date, no confirmed verification of either their connection nor separation from official sources, interviews or media. While the series "" features a brief crossover between Saejima-series' characters and those seen from "The Yami Wo Terasu Mono"-related entries (which fans had since unofficially referred as Ryūgaverse) and "Garo: Kami no Kiba" film reveals that Messiah also sought to enter Ryūga Dōgai's own continuum, both has yet to prove either either sides' assertion. Given to the fact that certain aspects of the series lore (ex. Makai Armors' time limit, the presence of Makai Knights' steeds Madōba , portrayals of Watch Dogs) the prospect of Saejima family-centered continuity and Ryūga Dōgai-centered continuity took place in separate universes seemed much more likely.
