Long ago, Makai Priest [[Sōtatsu]] created a powerful madogu, [[Agō]], to help him achieve his dream of having a world without Horrors. A sentient humanoid samurai, [[Agō]], is a powerful anti-Horror weapon that shares the same sentiment with his creator. While pursuing a traveling group of powerful Horrors, Sōtatsu was mortally wounded by Mad Horror [[Degor]] and [[Agō]] was critically damaged after defeating the beast. As [[Agō]] looked after his dying creator, the two witnessed the appearance of Garo and [[Sōtatsu]] entrusted his failed dream to the Golden Knight. Not long after, Sōtatsu died, without a master to guide Agō, the weapon wandered into a desert wasteland and went into long term stasis, where he laid in pondering stasis until he was revived in modern times.

In the modern age, after the events of [[The One Who Shines in the Darkness]], Agō was revived almost 50 years earlier after resting for centuries. The wasteland he once rested has flourished into a lush forest and a random bolt of lightning had awakened him from his long term stasis. Resuming his original intention of making his creator’s dream come true, [[Agō]] concluded that the only way to eliminate the Horror threat is to sever their source of existence: wiping out humanity. Without a source of darkness to feed from, Horrors will cease and his master’s dream, their dream, will come true.

At a seedy bar, [[Rian]] awaits for [[Ryūga]] to join her in their mutual hunt for a horror, [[Murado]]. While waiting for him, two thieves tricked [[Rian]] into lowering her guard and they took her [[Madō Gun]], giving it to Murado and well compensated for their troubles. Murado, taking the identity of a local gang boss, prepares to overwhelm [[Rian]] in superior numbers, but [[Ryūga]] arrived to join the fight. Still confident in his numbers, Murado told his gang to attack.

With her gun and bullets scattered throughout the floor, [[Ryūga]] created a shockwave that lifted the gun and bullets in mid-air, allowing [[Rian]] to regain her gun and loaded a bullet into the chamber. Once all her other bullets aligned in a straight pattern, she fired her gun, where she ignited all her rounds and [[Ryūga]] guided the magical bullets to kill all the other horror henchmen. With only Murado left, he attempts to flee, but [[Ryūga]] gives chase. It was outside that Murado revealed his true Horror form, but was shocked to discover Golden Knight Garo is before him with his radiant golden shine back (it was known to many dark forces that the legendary armor lost its radiant powers). [[Ryūga]] made quick work of Murado and slayed him, however, upon releasing the armor, the knight experienced great pain. [[Ryūga]] has been actively using his armor to slay Horrors for some time, causing a massive buildup of jaki (dark energies); [[Zaruba]] warns the armor must be purified or it will devour [[Ryūga]]. To remedy the problem, [[Rian]] suggests they head to Line City to meet a famous powerful priestess, Priestess Ryuma. It was while the duo traveled to Line City that [[Agō]] made his return.

The same thieves that helped Murado steal [[Rian]]’s gun earlier were busy celebrating their newfound wealth when one of the bills possessed one of the thieves and became a Horror. [[Agō]] appeared before them and slayed the Horror. [[Agō]] held the other thief in disgust, but decides to let him go as his plans will eventually end all of humanity. Shortly after, [[Rian]] and [[Ryūga]] made it to Line City to search for Priestess [[Ryūme]].

At Line City, [[Ryūga]] thought it was strange that a famous priestess would be hidden within the concrete jungle of a city; [[Rian]] couldn’t help find [[Ryūga]] being a simpleton that a priestess would merely stay within the confines of a forest and a shrine (how it was done in the old days). It was while using a [[Madō Compass]] that the two encountered the makai couple, [[D Ringo]] and [[Yukihime]], selling kebabs as a side business. D Ringo encouraged them to join him, but the two ignored him and continued their search for [[Ryūme]]. It was while lost around a pier that the duo heard the voice of an old woman and a gateway opened that they would meet [[Ryūme]].

In a sealed subway station, the duo meets [[Ryūme]] and [[Ryūga]] was surprised to see a youthful-looking girl as the voice suggested to [[Ryūga]] they were expecting a very old woman. The two guards that protects [[Ryūme]] explained her priestly powers are so great that she has stopped aging. A playful spirit, [[Ryūme]] decided to take a more girlish voice to fit her youthful image. Knowing the reason why the duo had arrived, [[Ryūme]] took the Garo armor and used her powers to form the armor into a golden sphere, where all the jaki will be expelled; it will take over a day to complete the process. [[Ryūme]] encouraged the two to head out to explore the town.

Curious as to why they are able to enjoy themselves so freely, it was discovered that [[Ryūme]] has the power to neutralize all dark energies within the city limits. Using her magical powers, she’s able to create a monthly shockwave that can prevent the formation of any dark gates, essentially purifying the entire city from dark spiritual influence. [[Ryūga]] was genuinely impressed by her powers, however, it left [[Rian]] feeling a bit down as she wants to be a great support to Garo, but feels her abilities are lacking. However, the conversation was cut short as the two enjoyed the kebab specials from D Ringo. In between, [[Agō]] makes his move.

In an abandoned facility, several priests watches over a dangerous object: the hand of Demon Beast Degor. Being an indestructible object of great evil, the priests have taken it to be sealed and guarded by priests until [[Agō]] intervened. Desiring the dark item for himself, [[Agō]] killed all the priests, but encountered [[Rian]] and [[Ryūga]]. The two fought, but the battle was a draw and the duo returned to [[Ryūme]] to report recent events; [[Ryūga]] kept a fragment of [[Agō]] as a clue.
  +
  +
At the hidden shrine, [[Ryūme]] explained that Degor’s hand can’t be destroyed by any known means; the hand was taken to her city limits, where her powers can prevent the dark influence of Degor from awakening. It was there that [[Rian]] realized that [[Agō]] intends to use the hand for terrible destructive reasons. For now, the duo continues to keep tabs on the developing situation as Garo has yet to be fully purified. The duo decided to split up to investigate into matters.
  +
  +
[[Ryūga]] was at D Ringo’s spot when he realized that the circular symbol drawn on his truck is actually the same fragment he got from [[Agō]]. Realizing [[Ryūga]] would seek answers, D Ringo takes [[Ryūga]] to his private quarters, to review a Mado Tome that explains the origins of [[Agō]] and [[Sōtatsu]]. Meanwhile, [[Rian]] found [[Agō]] at his original resting place, where he’s performing repairs to himself. [[Rian]] engaged [[Agō]] while demanding him to explain himself; [[Agō]] explained he wants to realize the dream of a world without Horrors, a goal both shared.
  +
  +
[[Agō]] explained he has thought for a long time over how to have the world without Horrors and he'd realized ending humanity would solve everything. [[Rian]] attempted to attack more, but it was in vain as [[Agō]] was too powerful. [[Agō]] didn’t kill [[Rian]] as he believed she’ll eventually die by his actions, but reminded her to fulfill her duties as a priestess in the time she has. [[Agō]] wondered was it worth protecting all of humanity and flew off.
  +
[[Rian]] later made it back to D Ringo’s spot, where she found the surviving thief (she encountered earlier) just stealing a woman’s purse. Angered by his actions, [[Rian]] gave the thief a beating until [[Ryūga]] stopped her from beating him down. Surprised by [[Rian]]’s actions, she explained the thief steals precious things from people without a thought and helped Murado against them. However, [[Ryūga]] reminded her that he’s still a human being.
  +
  +
It wasn’t long that [[Zaruba]] detected a disturbance in the energy flow of the city. [[Agō]] found [[Ryūme]]’s hidden shrine and defeated her; he plans to use her body to overwhelm Line City with jaki to help revive Degor to wipe out the city (eliminating the Horror’s food source). D Ringo knew where this was happening and he gave the duo a ride on his food truck over to the site to rescue [[Ryūme]]. To increase their odds of victory, D Ringo offered the two his small collection of Makai wares, from weapons, armor, and enchanted items. Armed with new magical gear, [[Ryūga]] and [[Rian]] rush to take on [[Agō]].
  +
  +
At the secret dome location, [[Ryūga]] and [[Rian]] faced [[Agō]], attempting to negotiate [[Ryūme]]’s freedom. However, despite both opposing parties sharing the same dream of having a Horror-free world, their solution to the problem was vastly different and [[Agō]] battled [[Ryūga]] while [[Rian]] freed [[Ryūme]]. Thanks to D Ringo’s magical forearm armor, [[Ryūga]] was able to take the brunt of [[Agō]]’s sword attacks. [[Agō]] then tried to use his enlarged saber to smash [[Ryūga]], but the ceiling got in the way and the two fought on top of his giant sword instead.
  +
  +
[[Agō]] flew away with his built-in rockets, but [[Ryūga]] pursued with his enchanted flight gear. Taking the battle on a busy highway, the two continued to fight, exposing civilians to danger. [[Ryūga]] tried to reason with [[Agō]], telling him that what his creator wished for, what they wished for, wouldn’t result in humanity’s destruction. While reflecting his maker’s smile upon his final days, Degor awakened. Sensing [[Agō]]’s desire to destroy humanity, Degor told [[Agō]] they should unite to achieve that goal. Despite [[Agō]]’s power, Degor absorbed [[Agō]] and revived himself in the form of a cursed spirit beast. [[Ryūme]] was present at the scene and realized the purification process to Garo finally ended; she returned [[Ryūga]] his armor, but enhanced as Garo Sho (flight).
  +
  +
Garo was able to fight on equal terms with Degor, but Horror is highly formidable. It was while blocking Degor’s claw-strike that [[Ryūga]] tried to tell [[Agō]] that he’ll help him achieve his dream. After hearing [[Ryūga]]’s words, Sōtatsu’s spirit came to tell [[Agō]] to entrust their failed dream to Garo and for [[Agō]] to finally rest after a life time of battle against evil. [[Agō]] deactivated himself, but not before giving Garo a major advantage. [[Agō]] gave his giant saber to Garo, allowing [[Ryūga]] to enhance the weapon with Garo’s golden powers and smite Degor; he was finally destroyed. In the aftermath, all that was left of Agō was a coin-sized object, in the form of Sōtatsu’s insignia.
  +
  +
With the battle over, [[Rian]] and [[Ryūga]] reported to [[Ryūme]]. It was there that [[Ryūme]] also enhanced [[Zaruba]] with a knight helmet. [[Zaruba]] himself was wondering why he got a cover on and [[Ryūga]] hilariously thought it was a way to shut him up. [[Ryūme]] laughed and said the mask gives her the ability to sense them whenever they’re in danger; she offers her aid if they’re ever in danger. Grateful for the gift, the two left to new hunting grounds. It was while walking, the two encountered D Ringo and both parties wished each other well before parting ways. While walking to other parts, [[Rian]] was irritated why didn’t [[Ryūga]] asked D Ringo for a ride; he thought it was the priest’s job as she said she wants to support Garo. However, [[Rian]] reminded [[Ryūga]] she wanted to be a great priest like Ryūga's mother, not become his mother. The two continued to walk on their journey, passing right by [[Agō]]’s resting place.

GARO: Gold Storm Flight is a film that follows Ryūga Dōgai after the events of The One Who Shines in the Darkness. It also serves as an introduction to the series of the same name.

Story

Long ago, Makai Priest Sōtatsu created a powerful madogu, Agō, to help him achieve his dream of having a world without Horrors. A sentient humanoid samurai, Agō, is a powerful anti-Horror weapon that shares the same sentiment with his creator. While pursuing a traveling group of powerful Horrors, Sōtatsu was mortally wounded by Mad Horror Degor and Agō was critically damaged after defeating the beast. As Agō looked after his dying creator, the two witnessed the appearance of Garo and Sōtatsu entrusted his failed dream to the Golden Knight. Not long after, Sōtatsu died, without a master to guide Agō, the weapon wandered into a desert wasteland and went into long term stasis, where he laid in pondering stasis until he was revived in modern times.

In the modern age, after the events of The One Who Shines in the Darkness, Agō was revived almost 50 years earlier after resting for centuries. The wasteland he once rested has flourished into a lush forest and a random bolt of lightning had awakened him from his long term stasis. Resuming his original intention of making his creator’s dream come true, Agō concluded that the only way to eliminate the Horror threat is to sever their source of existence: wiping out humanity. Without a source of darkness to feed from, Horrors will cease and his master’s dream, their dream, will come true.

At a seedy bar, Rian awaits for Ryūga to join her in their mutual hunt for a horror, Murado. While waiting for him, two thieves tricked Rian into lowering her guard and they took her Madō Gun, giving it to Murado and well compensated for their troubles. Murado, taking the identity of a local gang boss, prepares to overwhelm Rian in superior numbers, but Ryūga arrived to join the fight. Still confident in his numbers, Murado told his gang to attack.
