Garo: Soukoku no Maryu (lit. Blue Cries of the Demon Dragon) is the second film to the Garo series. The film serves as an epilogue after Makai Senki and leads up to The One Who Shines in the Darkness. The story continues after the events of Makai Senki. Having made a contract with Gajari, Kouga Saejima honors his end of the deal by traveling to the Promised Land to retrieve a part of Gajari: the Fang of Sorrow. After Kouga defeated Sigma, Gajari transported him to the Promised Land, however, his quest had unexpected results.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Garo's theatrical films deliberately contrast TV's urban horror with mythic fairy-tale spaces, reflecting Amemiya's theater roots.
The Promised Land's bizarre inhabitants were played by suit actors who normally played Horrors, flipped to sympathetic roles for once.
