Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
I think it would make sense if it was Gonza's son. If Gonza was 30 when Taiga died, that means that he must be at least 70.
I can only say it's promising so far. Yami and Zero were good in they're own way, it just depend on your taste, but I began Garo when Yami was airing (around eps 9).
I remember seeing in one trailer Raiga saying to Mayuri at some point something like "You're definitely human", or something like that. Maybe she was human but was remodeled into a "Madou Tool" after.
I guess we'll get to see.
Also, Raiga is much stronger than Kouga. I don't recall Kouga damaging that badly the training blade so that Gonza complain about it. Or maybe he complain because he's getting older, and his body got much trouble than during Kouga's time.
How many want to bet that Mayuri will be Raiga's love-interest?

I won't bet on it. I think it won't be the same as Kouga and Kaoru.Mandalori wrote:How many want to bet that Mayuri will be Raiga's love-interest?

i think Kouga had more control than Raiga. so it wouldn't be that Raiga would be stronger, but that he has problems controlling his strenght like his father. of course that is just a theory.Mandalori wrote:

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
I think Raiga has better swordsmanship than Kouga. No offense but Iaido with that much fancy work is not easy to pull out. Kouga's style was pretty straight forward 'sword meet the guts of enemy' Raiga's style relies on counter attacks more. Also I don't remember well but I think Garo armor was not imbued with fire at early stages of Kouga and he nneeded the lighter to make a sealing attack on a horror. It seems Raiga starts with pretty overpowered compared to Kouga. We still don't know if he has other functions of armor or the steed though only time will tell.
I wonder one thing though why they didn't continue with Ryuuga? Now don't get me wrong I like Raiga's style and wouldn't mind to see Kouga again either but compared to character development and such I think Ryuuga was a better choice to continue from rather than making a new knight in the past. Also it seems Raiga has Ryuuga's sixth sense by touch (I think it is called psychometer) maybe Ryuuga is reltade to Saejima family after all.

Although Raiga's fighting style looks more stylish, I find it odd that he doesnt use the Saejima school of swordsmanship, its almost as if Kouga did not train him.Greenstalker wrote:I think Raiga has better swordsmanship than Kouga.

Also on Raiga's starting powerset, if you mean the fire steps effect (and the fireworks when the fishies tryed to hit him), Kouga had the same flames on his first episode which would hint at soul metal doing its thing.
If you ment the fire added effects from the lighters, Makai Knights dont need them to seal horrors (they just have to cleave them and they auto seal on their swords) the lighter fire has been seen used to detect horrors possesing humans, heal wounds (potion needed), and to give kickass fire power to sword strikes.
P.S. Kouga had the lighter from the get go, so he could have done the fire powerup thingie from the start too. I would consider this as Raiga starting with almost the same starting equipment/ powerset.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
Watching this episode made me feel exactly the same way I did when I watched Garo season 1 ep 1...which was complete awe and admiration. It is inevitable to compare Raiga with Kouga at least in the beginning. Raiga has some big shoes to fill. He has more facial expressions than Kouga did but his smile is charming as well as ruthless. That shows his power I think. Raiga seems to be a worthy Garo title holder. I would like to see what happened to his parents.
Mayuri being the Madou tool is interesting. How and why was show scouted for this purpose? Hopefully she will not turn out to be the big baddie in the end. Raiga's tricks with the scabbard remind me a bit of battojutsu from RK.
All in all this looks like a promising season of Garo. Thank you TVN for the great subs as usual. . Looking forward to watching the rest of it.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
He's actually using more martial arts (proper forms) instead of just swordmanship and more generic moves.
They put more emphasis on Raiga's moves outside of swordplay compared to Kouga (imo) or maybe the actor himself is more versed in that field. Anyway, it works.
The only things I didn't really like were the not so well concealed greenscreen+rope-fu slide under the giant blades and an annoying lens flare caused by the streetlights when Garo starts fighting the horror. It appears twice in a row on a dark background so... yeah.
PS:
The lighter must be recharged periodically and the sword must be purified.
Everything becomes corrupted and nothing is free so while he could very much start at full (standard) power, there's no sensible reason to do so.
The actual power ups were the horse and eventually wings.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
When Mayuri first popped up I thought, "Wow she's serving Milla Jovovich Fifth Element realness... oh crap." However, if I at any time forget her name and refer to her as Leeloodallasmooltipass you guys shall know of whom I speak.
Like the new guy, like seeing Gonza back even if it's not realistic he's not aged. Unless of course he's a Madou Butler... I mean he did pick up the Garo ken one time until the bad guy pointed out he shouldn't be able to...
Really nice quality overall. The bit at the end was glaringly cgi but I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the second episode of Garo: The Next Generation.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
I think that the producers managed to make what they wanted and this series have his own flavor but it remind us to the first series. Now we have 3 different main characters and 3 different GARO users and that is why they exactly wanted with Yami a different Garo.
Raiga so far its a cool character! he is strong and take his job serious like his father but he is always smiling like his mother. This time looks like he is more like Rei and not cold and extremely serious like Kouga.
The number one question here is what happen to Kouga and Kaoru? and Why is Gonza not old enough is Raiga is already 20+?
Looks like we are getting the new ZERO user in episode 2 and he looks like it's going to be serious and more like Kouga.

The series is looking good so far and I like Raiga's action scenes. However, I utterly hate his stupid smile.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
As a writer, what I can think of Garo: Makai no Hana is that it MIGHT explain or provide details why the Garo armor lost its golden shine as portrayed in Garo: Yami wo Terasu Mono since the former was set in a distant future. Although it is too early speculate about the story but for me this is just my writer's hunch. Still, I will enjoy watching this new show.

I kinda wish that the the loss of the Golden Shine be handled in something separate from this series.

Re: Garo Makai no Hana 01 released
and i say, if you need other shows to explain your plot points, you are doing a bad at writing them.
