GARO -VANISHING LINE- (Original Japanese Version)

Like any huge city, there is darkness beneath the blinding lights and towering buildings of Russell City. Makai Horrors dwell within that darkness and hunt humans. Tonight as well, a girl that is searching for something late at night is being hunted.

The morning after a crazy night, a strange rain begins to fall upon the bewildered construction men, washing away their memories of the entire. A single man stands watch with an umbrella overhead. His name is Luke, a Makai Alchemist.

The beautiful Gina tries to infiltrate her way to the top floor of a building owned by a big-time gang boss, but finds out it's a bit more than she can handle. She meets up and asks Sword for help, sweetening the deal with a little bait of El Dorado.

Sophie continues the search for any clues that may lead her to her brother, Martin. Since the word "El Dorado" was the only thing her brother left behind, she desperately tries to hunt down the elusive Sword in order to gather more information.

What is El Dorado? Sophie pesters Sword for an answer and meets Gina for the first time. Perfect timing, as it seems Gina needs both a husband and a child for her next treasure hunt. Gina takes Sophie along to show her just what it is that they do.

Sophie sticks with Sword, hoping for some new leads on El Dorado. Luke finds out about her and voices his disapproval to Sword. All the while, it seems there is a movie theater where couples go and sometimes one of them disappears by the end credits.

A sudden increase of missing persons cases are plaguing Russell City. All of the victims are young adults heavily involved with the internet. A message about El Dorado is left behind by one of the victims and the crew begins their frantic search.

Sword and Luke chase after the knight of darkness, who was once the powerful Silver Makai Knight. Fei Long and Meifang support them and protect Sophie from Knight's grasp as Sword and Knight battle it out and the city falls to shambles.

Russell City works on recovering from the mysterious disaster that hit their city. The diner sends Sword and Sophie out west, to find El Dorado and take down Knight before he has a chance to make a second attack. Sophie travels with Sword in a daze.

Sword and Sophie have already left. Luke wanders around the ruined townscape, monitoring the barriers surrounding the city and taking care of Horrors that find their way in. As he recovers from his injuries, he contemplates what it is that he must do.

Sword and Sophie finally make it to San Dell Diós, a small town at the outskirts of the lawless zone. They explore as they wait for their escort to make contact. Unfortunately for them, the town has a plan in place to split the two of them apart.

As the trio continues to travel west, they stumble upon a motel that seems to be set up in the middle of nowhere. Sophie is just happy that she can finally take a shower and have a bed to sleep in, but the other two are much more wary.
