Garo: Yami o Terasu Mono

Garo: Yami o Terasu Mono (牙狼〈GARO〉～闇を照らす者～) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. that premiered on April 5, 2013, on TV Tokyo. Written and directed by Makoto Yokoyama, Yami o Terasu Mono is the third television series in the Garo metaseries, but is set in a different continuity than previous and following entries. The catchphrase for the series, referred to as the Vol City Chapter (ボルシティ篇), is "Get back your gold." (金色を、取り戻せ.).

Story
Yami o Terasu Mono takes place at an alternative universe parallel to that of Saejimas' and focuses events on Vol City (ボルシティ), 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 with Makai Priests Burai and Rian, Ryuga confronts the dark side of the city that is plagued by a rare breed of Horrors called Madō Horrors (魔導ホラー), 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.
