Zaji is a manifestation created from the essence of many Horrors who were killed by the Makai Knights bearing the title of Garo. Because of his origins, driven by the Horror essence that composes his being, Zaji exists to kill Golden Knights with extreme prejudice. Among his abilities is manipulation of time and space, using it to create a clone of himself. Using a broken stone face from a sphinx-based Horror statue to gain physical form, Zaji challenges Kouga to a fight to the death. Once his identity is revealed during the fight, Garo damages the statue's restored face to destroy the Horror Gate that enables Zaji to exist. Though defeated, Zaji points out that his kind will kill Kouga and his successors in time.
