This two-part made-for-TV movie aired in Japan in 2006 and was the first installment in the "GARO" franchise following the original television series. It tells the story of Kouga Saezima and how his life changes when a young Makai Priestess reaches out to him and tells him that the deceased Priest Amon wishes to speak with him from the other side.

His life will then be embroiled in supernatural struggles and challenges that involve a soul-stealing plant, a nightmare forest, and the newly resurrected Horror Lord Legules. Aside from taking on the armor of the golden knight Garo to keep the Horror Lord from plunging the world into total darkness, Kouga will also have to race against time to save a childhood friend he has long thought was dead.

Kouga will get some help from the silver knight Zero, and together they will work towards ensuring that the world is free from Lord Legules' dark and evil clutches.

The "GARO Special: Beast of the Demon Night" Blu-ray is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 26. It will come with both Japanese and English subtitles.
