Because Kamen Rider is for children and GARO is for adults?

Also, translations of Japanese media tend to play fast and loose with "demons." Because Yokai can range from women with ponytails that eat people to honorbound turtle-monkeys that drown people for laughs. They're more Fae than "Unholy Angels that seek the damnation of humanity out of spite."

Plus the Fangire all looking like Bella Lugosi would be boring, hence the invocation of stained glass as a uniting motif that is very fitting for a gothic literature theme and the animal forms because it makes everything unique and interesting for the kids watching.
