Future

Several Horrors are attracted by Tousei's malice and transform him into one of them. After Ryuga's party is pushed back by Zedom's attacks, Takeru uses his shield to help the others push forward and allows Ryuga and Aguri to reach Zedom, who manages to remove and seal Ryuga's Garo armor. The unprotected Ryuga is pulled by Zedom as the Horror intends to claim his body, but Burai's soul contacts Rian and entrusts her with his Madō Brush, guiding her to use it to create a weak point in Zedom's protection. Aguri pierces through this point with his arrow and Takeru frees the Garo armor from Zedom's grasp, allowing Ryuga to don it once more. Once reunited with Ryuga, Takeru and Aguri are bathed in Garo's golden radiance and their armors also turn golden for a brief moment as the trio finally defeats Zedom. Some days later, after Rian erases the memories of themselves and the Horrors from all of the people in Vol City, it is revealed that Aguri was summoned to work at the Senate, Rian is ordered to guard the ancient ruins under the city, and Takeru is appointed to the Western region, bidding farewell to Rui before he leaves. Pretending that his memories were also erased, Tousei returns to his steakhouse but Ryuga appears to confront him, confirming that he is not human anymore. However, Rian appears and kills Tousei in Ryuga's place, claiming that he is not worthy of his blade, and reveals that Aguri agreed to stay behind and protect the ruins instead of her, as she has decided to stay by Ryuga's side. Ryuga and Rian then leave Vol City together, and a grave for Hakana is seen in the ancient ruins beneath the crumbled Goddess Statue.
