According to Nippon Cinema this film is a spin-off of Keita Amemiya’s 2005 tokusatsu television series. In the film version, a new character named Rekka, played by Mary Matsuyama, plays a central role along with the usual protagonist, Kouga Saejima (Ryosei Konishi). I’d never heard of the TV show, but here is the trailer for the movie .
The story involves a group called the Makai Knights who have secretly defended humanity for centuries by fighting demonic manifestations called “Horrors”. Chief among them is Kouga Saejima, a knight who holds the title of Garo and has the ability to transform into an incredibly powerful golden armored warrior for a short period of time. However, as long as there is wickedness in the world, there will always be more Horrors to purge. When seven new “Apostle Horrors” descend into the terrestrial world, Kouga accepts a mission to hunt down and exterminate them. A few days later, their trail leads Kouga to a port town where he happens to cross paths with Makai Priests Akaza (Yosuke Saito), Shiguto (Masahiro Kuranuki), and Rekka. It seems inevitable that the four of them will need to team up to face such a powerful enemy, but Rekka has revenge on her mind, and decides to take the Apostle Horrors on by herself…
Due out in Japan on 30th October.
