GARO SHO form is a permanent upgraded form with the help of Priestess Ryūme. While helping Ryūga Dōgai cleanse the armor of Jaki (dark energies), Ryūme magically altered and enhanced Garo. However, to what end is unclear as Garo never exhibited any special abilities after its new form. The only thing visibly different from the armor is an improved look and thicker armor. Its forearm blade is now gone, this prevents Garo from making slash attacks upon targets, but the forearm is thicker, with a reinforced end near the elbow, giving Garo harder physical back strikes and blocking. The overall new coverage makes Garo less susceptible to damage and fatigue for its user. No special gimmicks have been revealed yet.
