YMMV / GARO: Vanishing Line

• Complete Monster:
  • The Horror known only as "King" is the ruler of El Dorado. While far from the most powerful Horror in history, King is one of the most clever. Forming the city of El Dorado as a seeming paradise, countless humans are lured in to become prey of the Horrors. Swaying numerous Makai Order adherents to his side to enact his plot, King intends to digitize the world so all humankind can be preyed on at will in his utopia. Upon the arrival of Sword and Sophie, King proceeds to give an order to initiate the absolute slaughter of humans within El Dorado and enact his digitization plot.
  • Knight, real name Christopher Harden, is a former Silver Knight who has sacrificed everything for power. Murdering his wife Adelaide to sever his ties to humanity and gain even more strength, Knight returns to kidnap young heroine Sophie for his master the King. Serving as El Dorado's top enforcer, Knight uses his position to hunt down and murder people for a good fight, eager to kill anyone in his path, as seen when he almost obliterates Russell City with numerous deaths upon facing hero Sword, or Garo the Golden Knight. Attempting to help the King's forces claim the world and wipe out humanity, Knight spends his final moments attempting to kill Sword, all for one final duel after he judges his own son isn't even worth killing.
  • Queen, the right-hand woman of the King of El Dorado, is the fallen Makai Alchemist who lured Sophie's brother in to enact the twisted schemes of the King and see all humanity reduced to digitized food for the sake of her fanaticism. Collaborating with Dr. Stanley for his twisted experiments, Queen has humans lured to El Dorado to become food for Horrors, awakening many sleeping monsters to break the illusion of Paradise and massacre all humans in the near vicinity.
  • Dr. Stanley is a sociopathic scientist who defected to GarEden Corporation after the Makai Order had him exiled for conducting human experiments on several people. Working under the Three Swords of El Dorado as their personal Psycho for Hire, Stanley is willingly and gleefully complicit in their projects, from creating stronger Horrors for their army to even ELDO NET's prison, a virtual reality where the souls of 10,000 humans reside in to serve as food for Horrors.
• Signature Scene: Ask anyone and odds are their favorite moment in the anime is the first battle between Sword and Knight, whose skirmish manages to be one of the most destructive battles between Makai Knights to the point they manage to wreck a portion of the city. Halfway through the fight, they even discard their weapons in favor of beating the absolute shit out of each other with their bare hands.
