Story

The series takes place in an alternate universe parallel to that of the Saejimas, centered on Vol City, a metropolis built around a volcano infested by Horrors. Ryuga Dougai, a Makai Knight inheriting the title of Garo the Golden Knight, hunts them, but his armor has lost its golden radiance and power. He joins fellow Makai Knights Aguri and Takeru, and Makai Priests Burai and Rian, to confront the city's dark side plagued by Madō Horrors. Each time Ryuga destroys a Madō Horror, a portion of the Garo Armor's golden light is restored.
