Thanks to a night of updates on Tamashii.JP we have our first look at a brand new release from Garo!

Coming out in April 2017 is Makai Kado Dan, the Midnight Sun Knight! Dan is a release that Garo collectors have demanded for years. The previous Dan figure was release in Bandai’s long defunct Equpi & Prop line and was quite prone to breakage, as many releases in that line were. Now with a proper Makai Kado release finally happening, it looks like people can trade in their old old Dans.

Makai Kado Dan will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8640 yen in April.

After 2014’s extremely successful Black Blood miniseries, the Silver Fanged Makai Knight is returning to the airwaves once again!

A new teaser for the upcoming Garo sidestory known as ZERO: Dragon Blood was released today, giving fans their first look at this new adventure in the world of the Makai Knights. This new adventure will follow on from the world introduced in Black Blood.

Fan-favorite Rei Fujita returns to the role of Zero, supported by fellow Garo alumni Mary Matsuyama as Makai Priestess Rekka. Garo creator Keita Amemiya will take the directors’ chair for this new project, with veteran Garo storyteller Sumiko Umeda serving as writer.

ZERO: Dragon Blood is currently scheduled to begin in 2017!

The first teaser trailer for the next GARO series has been posted online! The good people at The Tokusatsu Network have translated this video for fans.

Long-time GARO veteran Yukijiro Hotaru returns once again as Gonza, servant to the Golden Knight. Hotaru will serve as narrator/storyteller for Makai Retsuden as characters from the previous 10 years of GARO are revisited.

The return of the GARO S.H. Figuarts continues! A new figure of the golden knight was recently seen in magazines scans, with many assuming it to be the renewal version of the Kouga Saejima version of the character previously seen at the 2014 Tamashii Nations event. However official images from Bandai’s Tamashii Web Shop can confirm this not to be the case, with the figure actually based on the golden version of Ryuga Dougai’s armour from the end of Yami o Terasu Mono (The One Who Shines in the Darkness)

A retool of the Garo Ryuga Ver. figure released a few months ago, Garo Golden Ryuga Ver. will be released in August as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced 6480 yen. He comes packaged with a selection of alternate hands as well as the Garo Ken sword and a slash effect part.

FUNIMATION summarizes the story of Garo – The Animation as follows:

A long time ago in the kingdom of Valiante, humans shared the world with Horrors—monsters who feed on humans with weakness in their hearts. Desperate to put an end to the Horrors’ reign, the King allowed his advisor Mendoza to launch a witch hunt targeting the magic users who had sworn to protect humanity from evil.

One-by-one the famed Makai Knights and Alchemists were cut down by Mendoza and his men. That is, until a young Makai Knight named León inherited the golden armor of Garo and with it, the power to save the kingdom. But unlike the other Makai Knights who fight to protect humanity, León is young, reckless, and driven by his desire to avenge his mother’s death at Mendoza’s hands. How can an immature Golden Knight who fights for the wrong reasons hope to protect anyone?

Garo – The Animation Season One Part One English dub will release on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 26th. This will be a great chance for fans who are unfamiliar with the Garo franchise to get to know one of the more popular tokusatsu series with older audiences.
