Yeah, I'm not sure if it was always the original intention, but it definitely feels like they're like "Well shit we got rid of Jabi... maybe we shouldn't have?" when it comes to the first half of the movie/first special. Very much a course correction which I'm honestly fine with.

We also get introduced to Dan, and he's pretty cool as well even if he is a rough dude to be around at the start.

That being said, I knew it was happening soon! So now I can talk about Episode's 24, 25 and this movie in regards to Rei and Silva.

I think it's real clever that Silva nearly gives her life for Rei, Rei witnesses Zaruba's sacrifice, and not long after she's repaired he immediately ditches Silva as a necklace and has her just attached to the glove he wears. It's subtle storytelling but it's real nice to see that little sort of arc take place.

But yes, nice little epilogue for the original series, and for good reason. As since Garo isn't exactly the biggest budget of series, it would go to sleep for a good 4 years before it hit the big screen with the next special or rather actual big movie, released.

And for once... I can finally utter the words. Thank you Pachinko!

Feels weird saying that name without sort of feeling meh or bad about it given all the times pachinko spurns fans with cool stuff that never happens. In this case Pachinko would be the lifeblood that Garo needed to continue strong for a good while once we hit the 2010's.
