Movie
Ryuga Dougai, Garo the Golden Knight, and Makai Priestess, Rian, travel from Vol City to Line City, and along the way meet the Makai Priestess, Ryume, who says she can help exorcise the dark energies from the Garo armor.

Their plans are disrupted when the ancient humanoid Madogu, Ago, awakens, kidnapping Ryume to use her body as a vessel to awaken the ancient Horror, Degol, that killed its Makai Priest creator, Soutatsu in order to destroy humanity. Ryuga and Rian pair up with Makai pawnbroker, D-Ringo and his partner, Yukihime, to stop Ago before it kills Ryume and before Degol can be revived.

TV series
"Demon beasts Horrors devour people. Horrors have existed since ancient times. They hid in the darkness. But in that darkness, there was a ray of light. Garo. In olden times, that armor shone with a golden light. After losing its master, it was lost to the pitch black darkness. But thanks to one young man's passion... love... and virtue... that armor regained its golden light. A light that shines in the darkness. People called it the light of hope."

- Rian's narration in episode 1

After successfully saving Ryume and stopping Ago, Ryuga and Rian are assigned under her as guardians of Line City, investigating a mysterious increase in Horror activity in the area. This is all a plot by Makai Knight Jinga, and his wife, Makai Priestess Amily, who have since become Horrors to raise the ancient weapon, Radan, to destroy humanity in revenge for the death of their son years earlier.

To stop them, Ryuga and Rian team up with Daigo Akizuki, Giga the Beast Knight, and the Makai Priests, Gald and Haruna, as well as D-Ringo and Yukihime before the two Horrors can succeed in their plans.
