Source-derived summary

Kami no Kiba: Jinga (神ノ牙-JINGA-, lit. "Fang of God: Jinga") is a Japanese television series, spin-off from the Garo metaseries. The series focuses on Jinga, now a reincarnated Makai Knight while facing his past darkness he assumed during the events of Garo: Gold Storm Sho and the film Garo: Kami no Kiba. Masahiro Inoue reprised his role on the lead character.

Plot

After the former Makai Knight turned Horror Jinga was defeated by Ryuga Dougai as Garo during the events of Garo: Kami no Kiba, he returned to the Makai Realm and challenged Messiah. He lost that battle and his soul drifted through the darkness for a time; he somehow found himself reborn into the light again. Unaware of his dark past life, he's reborn into the Mikage family and became a Makai Knight once again. His new life hasn't been easy as his father, Mizuto Mikage, turned to the dark side and became a Horror, killing his wife before being slayed by him. While still recovering from the incident, Jinga becomes partners with Makai Priest Fusa while managing the training of his little brother Toma, later gaining by accident a power that allows him to purify Horrors without killing their hosts, something never seen before in the long history of the Makai Knights, which draws the attention of the Watchdogs. But no one suspects the true nature of Jinga's abilities as his past-life is beginning to re-surface from within him.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kami no Kiba: Jinga” as 2018 television series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current 241-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Kami, Kiba and Jinga can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2018 television series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q56347686. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
