YMMV / GARO: Crimson Moon

• Complete Monster:
  • Rudra "the Catastrophe" is the ancient Horror bent on covering the world in darkness. After Rudra was sealed away by the Abe family, the machinations of Douma Hoshi allowed it to possess Abe no Seimei as its vessel. Rudra proceeds to cause death and destruction across the Capital in order to completely break its seal, taking enjoyment in beating Raikou and Kintoki. Merging with Ashiya Douman after being freed at last, Rudra has Horrors scourge the capital, planning to reduce all of humanity to nothing more than food for its kind.
  • Douma Hoshi is an ancient priest who was the teacher of Abe no Seimei. Taking sexual advantage of his pupil and placing a curse on her for the future, Douma was also the manipulative mentor of his successor Ashiya Douman. Masterminding a number of Horror attacks, Douma Hoshi reveals that he intended to trap Seimei into becoming the host of the Horror Rudra so that it may consume the entire world.
  • Fujiwara no Michinaga is the wicked ruler of Heian-kyō. An unscrupulous Minister of the Left in the Imperial government who would do anything to rise even higher in the political hierarchy and Kill the Poor along the way, Michinaga casually ignores the several horrific murders that happen outside of his Light Palace. In the past, Michinaga sought to use Garo as his personal One-Man Army to win wars for him, forcing Raikou's father to exile his own wife and son to die outside of the capital in a bid to have the Golden Armor pass to his other son, who was only born to serve as Michinaga's weapon. When a plague spreads throughout the western slums of Ukyo, Michinaga forces all of the infected into a quarantine where they would die a slow and painful death. After Rudra is awakened, Michinaga blocks entry to the Light Palace, stating that Rudra is doing him a favor by devouring the lower-class of the capital. Returning in The Fleeting Cherry Blossom, Michinaga frames the counselor of state for an attempt on the Emperor's life and then wipes out his entire clan just to rub salt in the wound.
• Magnificent Bitch: Akira, one of the last scions of the Yūge Clan, desires revenge for her family on the wicked Lord Michinaga. Working alongside her brother, Akira orchestrates a series of Horror attacks while appearing as a savior to Michinaga, managing to connive her way into becoming his lover and allowing her to planet a tracking spell on him. Planning to summon a powerful Horror to complete her vengeance against Michinaga, Akira even offers herself as a sacrifice to complete her plan, her devotion to her beloved family coming before all else.
• Tough Act to Follow: To GARO: The Animation, and (to some people) it definitely shows.
