Garo: Yami

Season 1

Episode 23: Gold

As Ryuga runs off to aid Aguri and Takeru against Sonshi, Burai enters Zedom's prison to offer his body to quench the Horror's fury. However, Zedom reveals his intention to take a Makai Knight's body to complete his plan and kills Burai when the Makai Priest attempts to stop him. By then, as Rian and Hakana arrive to the scene, Ryuga tells Aguri and Takeru about Burai's final orders for them as they attack Sonshi. Though he attempts to fall back to find Tousei, Sonshi is stopped by Zedom with the order to bring him the body of a Makai Knight as the Mad? Horror decides to claim Ryuga's body to attend his request. After the long battle ends in a duel, admitting his respect for the former Makai Knight's strength and thanking him for showing him how to become strong, Ryuga manages to slay Sonshi with the Garo armor finally recovering its lost golden radiance. But suddenly, telling Rian that she feels the Garo armor's radiance, Hakana writhes in pain as Sonshi's body is teleported away. Zaruba proceeds to reveal that Zedom is almost free and has claimed the corpse as his vessel. Honoring Hakana's wish to die a human, Ryuga is left with no choice but to strike his mother down while promising her that he will live on. Leaving Hakana's body with a SG1 platoon, the heroes go back to the ruins as Tousei watches before recruiting the SG1 troopers to protect him. Once at the ruins, the Makai Knights and Rian find themselves under heavy fire by the revived Zedom.
