GARO: Taiga

2025 · 102 min · ★ 7.0 · Action, Fantasy, Horror

Lurking among us are the Horrors, ancient enemies of our kind hailing from another realm. Holding the line against them, down through the ages, are the Makai Knights. Across generations, the men of the Saejima family have assumed the lupine aspect and magical armour of Golden Knight Garo—Raiga, before him Kouga, and before him Taiga, whose spirit has watched over his descendants. Little of Taiga’s tale has been revealed—until now. A new adventure harkens back to Taiga’s tenure as Garo, recalling his childhood training, his dedicated pursuit of his demonic foes, and the challenge he faces when a sacred artifact containing the souls of four elemental guardian spirits is stolen by Jado, a powerful Horror, who plans to unleash legions of evil into our world.
