Garon: Difference between revisions

After many trials and losses, Corrin reaches the throne room of Castle Krakenburg, and finally confronts Garon himself. Garon is "pleased" to see Corrin again, mocking him/her for making it this far. Garon tells Corrin that his family were all pawns for the war, angering Corrin, who is angered that Elise and Xander gave their lives to stop Corrin from killing Garon, yet he feels nothing at their deaths and Corrin declares Garon irredeemable and vows to kill him. However, when he/she tries to attack him, his/her Noble Yato is unable to penetrate his armor, and in retaliation, Garon launches several blows at them. Azura attempts to use her powers to weaken him, but Garon anticipates this and grabs her, threatening to kill her unless they listen to his demands. Ryoma negotiates with him, and he responds that it is a wise choice. Garon demands that Hoshido unconditionally surrender so its lands can be incorporated into Nohr, then states that he wishes to kill Ryoma. Garon sends a fireball at Ryoma, wounding him. Garon mocks Corrin if he/she will surrender to him, or fight and ensure the deaths of all his/her friends.

====''Conquest''====

After the uprising in Cheve is put down, Garon heads to Cyrkensia and watches a performance along with his children. Prior to the start of the performance, Garon speaks with Corrin, stating that he is pleased they put down the rebellion. He also reveals that he obtained a letter from Hans, who had credited Corrin with most of the killings even though they did not participate in it. When the performance starts, a mysterious songstress causes Garon intense pain, and she flees the stage before Iago's men could apprehend her. Hoshidan assassins led by Kumagera arrive and attempt to kill him, but are killed by Corrin's forces. Recovering, he orders all the songstresses of Crykensia to be executed, to which Corrin begins protesting, confronting Garon about ordering Hans to kill the Chevian rebillion and states they should look for a more peaceful situation, but Garon states his desire to rule Hoshido and will do anything to achieve that task, even if someone disobeys and dies, shocking Corrin. Leo swiftly intervenes and drags Corrin away, while Iago and Hans set off on a killing spree.

After defeating the Hoshidan garrison at Fort Jinya led by Yukimura and accompanied by Sakura, Xander assured Yukimura that they would treat the prisoners humanely. However, Hans and Iago start killing several defeated prisoners, and Xander and Corrin force them to stand down. However, Garon appears and surprises them both, threatening to execute them for treason if they try to stop them. Xander and Corrin reluctantly stands down as Hans and Iago kills more prisoners, excluding Yukimura and Sakura. Garon leads the Nohrian army as they march into the capital, with the locals taking notice and acting scared; the locals notices Corrin and calls them a traitor, prompting them to insult Corrin for returning after what they did to Mikoto, and denounces the Nohrians as monsters. As Corrin resolves to stay strong, Iago and Hans kill some of the locals and vows to personally destroy anyone who speaks ill about them, and daring any Hoshidan to cross the Nohrians and have their body drop.

Upon arriving at Castle Shirasagi after defeating more Hoshidan forces, Corrin tells Iago that their army defeated Hinoka, and presents her lance as proof, though Iago is unconvinced. Before Iago can pressure further, Garon arrives, commanding him to stop with small matters, believing Hinoka to be no meaningful threat to them even if she were still alive. Iago agrees to drop it and as they move forward. Garon and Iago watch Corrin battle Ryoma. Ryoma is defeated and Garon goads Corrin to kill him, but Ryoma commits seppuku instead. Iago tries to have Garon punish Corrin for not obeying his orders, but Garon does not care anymore as they have what they came for; the conquering of Hoshido. Garon arrives at the throne room, but orders everyone to wait outside and not enter while he consults Anankos. However, Iago and Hans attempts to kill Corrin when they find out they spared Hinoka. Xander and the royals turn against them and without Garon to protect them from their wraith, they battle against Garon's loyalist, with Corrin's forces killing Hans and all of Garon's loyalists, while Iago is executed by Leo once and for all, further crippling Garon's forces and putting an end to their disgraceful crimes. With the death of Iago and Garon's loyalist, Corrin finally tells the siblings that the war isn't over yet and they have to kill Garon to end it, telling them the real Garon is long dead and the Garon they know is actually a monster and all they can do is put him out of his misery.

When Xander tells Corrin that he will lend their his strength, Xander's Siegfried reacts, and the Yato transforms into the Shadow Yato. The Yato is finally able to damage Garon, who begins to break down and prepares to kill Corrin and his children. Xander convinces the siblings to not stand by while Corrin battles for them and help fight alongside Corrin to put an end to Garon and save the world and their kingdom. The Nohrian siblings finally put aside their disbelief and all declare they will fight Garon alongside Corrin, and the proper fight begins. Garon summons a group of mysterious soldiers to kill them, but they fail to do so and he is killed by Corrin and their army shortly afterwards, ending his reign of terror. Garon's death, as well as Takumi's afterwords, finally ends the war and peace has been restored to both Hoshido and Nohr.  

====''Revelation''====

Xander and Leo arrive in the throne room and see Garon looking manipulated, telling them to continue the war against Hoshido, and tells them that he wants to destroy not only Hoshido, but also Nohr itself. This causes both Xander and Leo to reconsider their earlier dismissals of Corrin's claims about Garon being manipulated by the real culprit, the Invisible Kingdom of Valla, and they eventually join Corrin's cause.
