Important things that happened

A tragic history about Saejima Kouga and his father Saejima Taiga.
- Taiga died protecting Kouga and the Garo Ken from Barago.
- After Kouga forms a contract with Zaruba, he trains for many years and reclaims his Garo Ken to become a Golden Knight.

Gonza and Zaruba reflect on Kouga's growth as a Makai Knight, remembering him training with his father, Taiga.
Out one night with his father, they encounter a Horror, with Taiga becoming Garo to destroy it.
Later, Kouga witnesses his father dying at the hands of what he thought to be a Horror, though it is actually a figure named Barago.
Kouga trains for years to be able to use the sword and fight as the new Garo, eventually becoming the man he is today.
