Three generations of GARO Knights~

NHKウイークリーステラ 平成27年 6/26号 2014 6/20→6/26 NHKサービスセンター 表紙＝仲間由紀恵・町田啓太・前川泰之・中山麻聖 ドラマ10〈美女と男子〉ドラマの「実は……」を一挙公開! 仲間由紀恵・町田啓太・前川泰之・中山麻聖

Just finished watching Garo: Makai no Hana and finally realize why someone called it Data Pair AU.

[toku-explained]

Guide to GARO: Extra 13: Anime Garo Drama CDs.

4 Drama CDs were released tying into Usuzumizakura Garo, crossing over the three anime seasons. The focus characters are different each episode, having only small casts. The first three were give away during the first 3 weeks of theatre showings, the last was packed in with a Blu-ray release.

The first chapter, "Red Thunder" features Romi Park as Ema and Seimei, as well as Martin and Queen in flashback/spirits, and Kugimiya Rie as Sophie.

Sophie, now training as a Makai Priestess under Gina, is brought into another space, where she is tormented by amongst other things Martin's memory and Queen's spirit. There, she is saved by and meets two Makai Priestesses from other times Ema Guzman and the legendary Abe no Seimei. From what info I can find, apparently Gina somehow contacts Ema to save Sophie.

The second, "Fate" features Nakayama Masei as Raikou, Seki Tomokazu as Sword, and Udono Mayu as Inari and Garm.

Raikou is sent by Inari to the Tower of Heroic Spirits where he undertakes a purification ritual, where he is forced by a Horror with Time Space powers into another Space. He meets across the eras a man who sounds a little like Ashiya Douman, Sword, who was also brought from the Tower of Heroic Spirits the place where he received the armour of Garo, where he'd gone on Garm's orders.

The third, Dark Heart features Namikawa Daisuke as Leon, Yasusuke and an illusion of Knight, and Shimazaki Nobunaga as Luke.

Leon is brought to another space where he is attacked by a young Makai Priest and Makai Knight, Luke, who is being made to see him as Knight. The pair fight so Leon can break the illusion, and are later joined by Yasusuke on confronting the Time Space Horror.

This chapter for the first time dubs Luke's armour, first seen in the Vanishing Line epilogue, as Zelos, with Leon noting it resembles Zoro.

The last chapter, "Golden" sees the 3 Golden Knights meet, as Leon is dragged from where he is fighting with Luke and Hakamadare, and meets the other two Knights. They realise the Horror is an accumulation of Horror grudges (like Zaji then), and Leon is able to reach his feelings out to receive power from his father and brother. It also established a rule that only one set of Garo armour can be in a space at once, which will see a practical demonstration later that year.

Usuzumizakura Garo Drama CD

Notes on what I can gather from listening.

Part 1: Red Wind

Sophia awakens in an unfamiliar place, comparing the sensation to the Eldonet, and hears Martin's voice asking her to wake up, but reminds herself that Martin is dead, the voice changes to condemnations from Queen, she wonders where Gina is as Martine urges her to wake up.

She is suddenly stirred awake by an unfamiliar person, Ema Guzman, who has come to save her at the request of her mentor, Gina. Ema mentions Leon Luis, her own eras Golden Knight, is facing a threat.

They're joined by Seimei, from an eve earlier time on history, her Golden Knight, Raikou, is also facing the entity causing this. Sophie contemplated how Ema, Seimei and Gina are all so beautiful.

As the entity responsible begins to attack, Ema and Seimei hold it off, with Sophie joining. Sophie thinks it's over, but the others warn the threat is still there, but the three move to escape to their own eras.

(Kugimiya Rie voices Sophia Hennes, while Park Romi voices Martin Hennes, Queen, Ema Guzman and Abe no Seimei)

Part 2: Fate

Sword meets with Garm, who mentions the Madou Ring, handing over Zaruba's remade ring, Sword suddenly feels a pain, she tells him he's overwhelmed by Jaki, sending him to the Tower of Heroic Spirits for purification.

Raikou greets the Inari, the 3 note the absence of Seimei and Kintoki, Raikou explains each has other things they are handling. They too send him to the Tower of Heroic Spirits.

The heroic spirits cleanse Sword, who leaves feeling refreshed, then feels himself affected by something.

Raikou calls out for the Heroic Spirits, who explain the existence of a threat he must deal with, and be goes to cut away the Inga.

Sword fights an entity which seeks revenge on the existence of Garo, similar to Zaji, with powers over time and space, Sword struggling against it, and is abducted into another space

Raikou is confronted by the same Horror, which also abducts him.

Raikou looks around, wondering where he is. In the distance Sword spots him and calls out, Raikou hears his voice as Ashiya Douman's and concludes Sword is a Horror, and the two clash.

Sword recognises the use of a Makaiken and that Raikou is a Makai Knight like himself, Raikou realises now this isn't Douman, but another Makai Knight, and apologises, the two introducing themselves. Sword notes that they are captives of a Time-Spaxe Horror seeking to eliminate the line of the Golden Knight.

(Udono Mayu voices Garm and Inari, Seki Tomukazu voices Sword and Ashiya Doman, Nakayama Masei voices Minamoto no Raikou)

Part 3: Heart of Darkness

Luke is fighting Knight, tormented by his father, while Leon, the one he is actually fighting, tries get him to escape the illusion. The clash continues.

Yasusuke is also in this other dimensional space watching the fight, wondering how they were brought there.

Luke briefly breaks through enough to see the makaiken resembles Sword's, before both summon their armours, Leon becoming Garo, and Luke becoming Zelos. Leon is struck by the armour's resemblance to his father's, Zoro, but Luke can only see his father's Bolg, yelling out at the Dark Knight he sees.

Hakamedare intervenes when Leon goes so far as to use Blazing Armament, introducing himself and explaining he was sent to investigate a distortion by the Watchdogs and wound up there. Luke can still hear Knight's voice, but is able to remind himself that Sword slew his father.

There's a discussion of shared motivations of revenge against those responsible for their mother's deaths and fighting Dark Knights, and Luke manages to cut away the image of his father.

Leon makes a proper introduction to Luke, alongside Hakamedare, and they agree to work together to escape this trap.

(Shimazaki Nobunaga voices Lukather Harden, Namikawa Daisuke voices Knight, Leon Luis and Hakamadare Yasusuke)

Part 4: Golden

Narration quickly relates Ema, Seimei and Sophie escaping from the other-dimensional space, before returning us to Raikou and Sword at the end of Part 2, still on their own other-dimensional space.

In order to fight they try to summon their armours, but it is unsuccessful, Raikou starts wishing Seimei were there, as she might be able to enhance his summon, when Sword off handedly mentions himself as the Golden Knight allows Raikou to realise the actual problem, only one of the armour of Garo can be in one time and space. With this, Sword tries again, successfully summoning his armour.

Elsewhere, while Luke has managed to escape, Hakamadare and Leon are still trapped, with lightning stroking nearby. Hakamadare summons the Zanga armour, prompting Leon to try as well unsuccessfully. While unsure of the reason why his armour isn't appearing, Hakamadare summons Rekka to carry Leon away from the attacks.

The entity Sword and Raikou face denies being a Horror, but is nonetheless a dark entity motivated by revenge on the lineage of Garo. Sword fights it, before sending the armour over to Raikou to use.

Having gotten away, Hakamadare explains to Leon what he knows about the entity, having heard of it from Seimei, not a Horror, but the collection of grudges built up against the Golden Knight. The entity grabs Leon, dragging him into a different space.

The battle continues, Raikou battling the entity, when Leon arrives. Realising he is another Golden Knight, Raikou releases the armour so they may introduce themselves.

The three Golden Knights join forces against the entity, each I believe getting a turn on the armour, and after it is slain, talk about how despite their different eras their fight is the same.

Realising the entity still exists and is keeping them trapped, Leon calls out Garm, who irritably sends him Roberto's sword. Asking his father and brother for support, Leon uses the power of Garo and Zoro to assume Soretsu Jushin Garo, and together the three defeat the entity and begin to return to their own eras, expressing a fairwell to eachother.

(Tomukazu Seki voices Sword, Nakayama Masei voices Minamoto no Raikou, Namikawa Daisuk voices Leon Luis and Hakamadare Yasusuke, and Udono Mayu voices Garm.)
