Aka "Garo Special: Byakuya no Majuu", "Garo: Demon Beast of the Midnight Sun", or whatever your preferred name for the thing is. Sources say it'll be coming out in the US on or around June 26th. There's even an Amazon pre-order page (though no picture is shown, so still feels kinda sketchy). If true, this is frankly pretty confusing, as "Garo: Red Requiem" should be here around April 10th........meaning the movie that came out more than three years AFTER the "Demon Beast" special will be arriving on Western Shores more than three months BEFORE said special shows up on shelves. Garo timelines are confusing enough to follow as is!

I know several Garo newcomers who are watching the films and series as they are released on blu-ray, so releasing these things out of order is probably going to leave quite a few people pretty confused, or even angry when they find big plot twists spoiled for them because some movie or episode makes mention of a reveal from a movie Kraken hadn't gotten around to releasing yet. Hopefully, this is the one time this sort of mix-up occurs in terms of release dates.

So, assuming this is all correct, anyone here remembers these things enough to know if seeing "Red Requium" first will spoil anything from the special? For the sake of my friends, I AM curious if anyone remembers offhand whether there's any mention of events in "Byakuya no Majuu" in "Red Requiem". There were some pretty big reveals in that special, and I'd probably tell them to either wait the extra three months so they can watch the two in chronological order, or to just find the special online and check it out first.
