Garo - Season 4 - Episode 3
Erina Tokiwa is a renowned artist who uses flowers in her pieces but kills one of her admirers, believing that it would bring her art to new levels, when a Horror approaches her. Meanwhile at the Saezima estate, Mayuri keeps awake at night and when Gonza suggests her to take a rest, she claims that she has been sleeping for a long time. Now possessed by the Horror Succubus, Erina kills a woman to make another piece of art before she meets Mayuri and becomes interested in her, drawing the girl to her atelier at a greenhouse. The Watchdog realizes this and informs Raiga, urging him to strike the Horror down, but claiming that protecting Mayuri is not a priority. Zaruba guides Raiga to the greenhouse where he confronts Erina who has realized that Mayuri is not human and treats her as an object, much to Raiga's anger. After Raiga cuts Succubus down, Mayuri reveals that the seed of Eyrith was not inside that Horror either, and becomes curious as to why Raiga treats her as a human, despite knowing that she is not.

Garo - Season 4 - Episode 11
A manga artist named Seiji Kawabata has just finished the latest installment of his Dragon Lawyer series, but he learns that his oldest assistant Tanaka is leaving him because he feels Kawabata's talent is dwindling. This causes Kawabata's darkness to manifest just as a Horror possesses him, allowing him to kill Tanaka and take the man's talent as his own. He then creates a new manga Makai King which becomes a smash hit, while he secretly kills and takes out other comic book artists to regain his former glory. Later, Raiga comes a newsstand holding Makai King with Mayuri and Zaruba confirming that some of the words in the book are of the Horror tongue. They decide to approach Kawabata, Raiga pretending to be interested in pitching a new story to him, as they catch him as he was about to eat his newest aide Suzuki. With Mayuri revealing that the Horror possessing him is not one of the ones from the slab, Raiga battles Kawabata before taking their fight to the rooftops. There, while fighting his way through manga images and sound effects, Raiga dons his armor to face Kawabata in his true form: Caricatuan. Though Caricatuan has the advantage as he has already written how the fight will end with him killing the Makai Knight, Raiga uses the ink to take out the last panel so he can land the death blow instead. With the Horror dead, Kawabata lasts long enough to see Mayuri enjoying his first manga, Ninja Rin. After reading Ninja Rin himself, Raiga is reminded of his mother's words on how the most important part of art is that people feel something after experiencing it.
#20 - Wicked Beast
Garo - Season 4 - Episode 13
Having just slain a horror, Raiga and Mayuri happen upon Crow who reveals that he is heading to the mountains to purify his blade in the Moonlight Ritual. He asks Raiga and Mayuri to follow him, telling them of his mentor Taishi on the way. But once at the mountain where the ritual takes place, the Makai Knights and Mayuri hear yelling and run to find Crow's fellow Makai Knights after they have been brutally attacked. One of the surviving Makai Knights, Gento, reveals that they were waiting for Crow when, by accident, Barg awakened and has run off. After Crow and Zaruba explain that Barg is a Horror-eating beast used in the Moonlight Ritual, Raiga aids Crow and Gento to find Barg before it dies and the Horrors in its stomach escape. However, as it eludes its pursuers, Barg kills the other Makai Knight Shizuru while spiriting Mayuri off. When she awakes just before nightfall, Mayuri finds Barg beginning to die from exposure to the human world and she sympathizes with the monster. By then, Raiga and the other Makai Knights arrive with a revenge-driven Gento willing to destroy Mayuri to kill Barg. This prompts Raiga to fight Gento as Barg sprouts wings to fly off with Mayuri. Crow equips his armor to pursue, engaging Barg in an aerial dog fight while saving Mayuri. Seeing the dying Barg still intent to fight, Mayuri decides to consciously activate her power to absorb Barg at the cost of her own life. Luckily, Raiga arrives in time to stop Mayuri as he engages Barg with Crow and Gento creating a barrier to hold the monster so Raiga can kill it. By sunrise, Mayuri has built a grave for Barg as Gento pays respects to his fallen comrades before making his apologies to Raiga. When Raiga turns his attention to Mayuri, she explains that she is no different from Barg while Crow tells her that she is more human than she thinks because of her compassion. The Makai Knight explains to her that he only killed Barg because it was at the point of no return. Later, Mayuri asks Raiga t

Garo - Season 4 - Episode 10
Raiga is informed of the advent of the Horror Granda, but despite knowing the location, it is uncertain when it will appear, and thus Raiga and Mayuri leave to stand guard for its arrival. Before leaving, Raiga suggests to Gonza that he take the day off, but the butler offers some sandwiches for them to eat, and Mayuri claims that she cannot tell him how good it is because as a magic tool, she has no sense of taste. Gonza then spends his break with his old friend Anna. While out with her, Gonza expresses to Anna his attachment to Mayuri and his will to make her smile. Anna then suggests that he make Mayuri the special soup of the Saezima family. Elsewhere, Granda finally manifests itself and Mayuri recognizes it as one of the Horrors from the slate, but it still does not carry Eyrith's seed. As the Horror is defeated by Raiga and sealed by Mayuri, Gonza finishes cooking the soup, but feels it is not enough to please Mayuri until he has a plan. After Mayuri and Raiga return home, Gonza serves them the soup, and remembering how Mayuri smiled for a while while looking at a Makai painting, he asks Anna, who made the painting, to make a magic drawing on the plate, and she smiles just as Gonza expected. Gonza mentions that the soup is a special recipe exclusive to the members of the Saezima family, implying that he recognizes her as a part of it.

Gonza welcomes a cameraman who claims to be from the Makai news organization and wants to interview him. After giving the cameraman tea, Gonza proceeds to speak highly of Raiga and what kind a man he is compared to his previous employers. Gonza then explains Raiga's mission to find Eyrith and the Horrors of the Ady Slab. After the interviewer asks about Raiga's weakness, Gonza reveals that he has a thing for symmetry before he proceeds to talk about Mayuri and her role in Raiga's hunt for the Ady Slab Horrors along with her gradual changes. When the topic of Crow is brought up, Gonza admits that he only knows him from Raiga's perspective, but he says he Crow had some profound melancholy while once seeing him brood over his bangs. As the sun sets, the topic of Kouga's disappearance is brought up. Gonza is reluctant to speak about it, but eventually reveals how Kaoru was sucked into a vortex when Raiga was only six years old, and Kouga followed her in to save her. Gonza asks the interviewer to edit it out that revelation, while stating his hopes that his former master and mistress are still alive. Suddenly, Gonza hears Raiga returning and leaves to greet him. The interviewer attempts to leave before being seen by Raiga, but he is soon revealed to be a Horror, and is slain by Raiga and Crow after cornering it. Raiga watches the recording, and teases Gonza about what he said about them to the interviewer as he serves them all tea. Raiga then finishes the interview, praising Gonza for all he has done for the household. Gonza is moved to tears, just as the camera is accidentally knocked to the floor.
