In _Garo: Honoo no Kokuin_ , we see that the golden armor (Garo) can only be
passed down to one's lineal descendants (for example, from Anna's father [the
former Garo] to Leon and Alfonso).

What about the other armors, like Zoro and Gaia, though? Do they have any
restrictions on who can use them? Regarding Zoro, in episode 24, we learn that

> Germán's child with Ximena is going to inherit Zoro. That doesn't
> necessarily mean that Zoro _has_ to be passed lineally, but it does sort of
> suggest that that might be the case.

On the other hand, it looks like Gaia doesn't have any restrictions based on
bloodline, since Raphael was able to pass Gaia onto Alfonso, and I don't see
how Raphael could be a lineal ancestor of Alfonso - Raphael is not Alfonso's
father (the king), nor his maternal grandfather (the former Garo), nor his
paternal grandfather (presumably the previous king, who must be long dead),
and anybody from Alfonso's great-grandparents' generation should also be dead.

Answers based on the tokusatsu version are welcome if they make sense in the
context of the anime.

Is the golden armor (Garo) the only one that must be passed from ancestor to descendant?


According to my understanding, the Silver Knight's armor follows similar rules
to the Golden Knight's. Note: I've heard it said a couple times that the third
series Yami wo Terasu Mono was retroactively declared non-canon, which would
get rid of the sole instance in which a Golden Armor was inherited by a
random. Further note: YWTM was utterly disappointing making it the sole entry
into the franchise I didn't watch completely.
