Plot
Main article: List of Garo characters

After the former Makai Knight turned Horror Jinga was defeated by Ryuga Dougai as Garo during the events of Garo: Kami no Kiba, he returned to the Makai Realm and challenged Messiah. He lost that battle and his soul drifted through the darkness for a time; he somehow found himself reborn into the light again. Unaware of his dark past life, he's reborn into the Mikage family and became a Makai Knight once again. His new life hasn't been easy as his father, Mizuto Mikage, turned to the dark side and became a Horror, killing his wife before being slayed by him. While still recovering from the incident, Jinga becomes partners with Makai Priest Fusa while managing the training of his little brother Toma, later gaining by accident a power that allows him to purify Horrors without killing their hosts, something never seen before in the long history of the Makai Knights, which draws the attention of the Watchdogs. But no one suspects the true nature of Jinga's abilities as his past-life is beginning to re-surface from within him.
