The Makai fight a secret war against the demon forces known as Horrors, evil creatures that manifest themselves through darkness to devour Humanity. On the frontlines are the Makai Knights, given the task of watching over a district and eliminating any Horrors that manifest there. GARO follows the tales of the Knights bearing the title of ‘Golden Knight Garo’, and their duty to vanquish the Horrors and protect Humanity from the darkness.

In 2009, peace returned to the world thanks to the efforts of the United Fire-Defense Agency's Rescue Force. However, a crisis once again descends upon the world as the Zakaen, an ancient race sealed within the Arctic glaciers, are released and begin their activities. The Zakaen, capable of freely manipulating flames, unleash "Super Fires"—a threat far greater than a super-disaster—plunging the globe into chaos. Following in the footsteps of the Rescue Force, which had expanded its operations globally, a new special forces unit called "Rescue Fire" is established. They protect people by "explosively extinguishing" the Zakaen's Super Fires.
