In 1986, Garulu manages to escape Dark Kiva after being brutally manhandled by the Fangire King, who then finds Ramon and Riki and attempts to kill them. But even with Jiro's aid, the Arm Monsters were powerless against the King and barely escaped with their lives. In 2008, after defeating the revived Fangire with his older half-brother, Wataru questions what would do since knowing his nature as a half Fangire as Maya appears to him and tells him that the blood of his father running through him is what truly matters, telling him to suppress Otoya's kindness before she departs.
