Garo: Makai Retsuden may have ended, but the tenth anniversary celebration of the GARO franchise isn’t over and done with just yet. Sandwiched between the aforementioned side character series and a HD remastering of the original series is a curious one-off TV special that goes by the name of Garo: Ashura .

When the world turns to chaos, he draws power from a strange belt that grants him the power of various Kamen Riders through the power of cards. Later Tsukasa is told by a mysterious man than he is Kamen Rider Decade - the Destroyer of Worlds. His task is to travel to the nine AR (Another Rider/Alternate Reality) worlds and destroy them in order to prevent the worlds from merging into one.
