We know that both men (e.g. Mendoza) and women (e.g. Ema) can be Makai
Priests. And, of course, men can be Makai Knights (Leon, Alfonso, Germán,
...).

But can women be Makai Knights? In episode 24 of Garo: Honoo no Kokuin,

> Jiruba says that Germán's child with Ximena is going to inherit Zoro. This
> prompts Leon to ask Jiruba if that means that the child is a boy.

This seems to suggest that women cannot be Makai Knights. Is this in fact the
case? Supporting information from the tokusatsu series would be very welcome
here.

Can women be Makai Knights?

I'm not sure about other armors, but in Golden Knight's case, one day in every
month, the knight won't be able to fight as Zaruba is taking the knight's
whole day. Also, women has to face menstruation every month, and that
[menstruation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_cycle) didn't last just
one day and disappear tomorrow. A female Makai Knight would be unavailable for
more than one day a month, which is a totally bad idea. Thus, while
technically they might be able to become one, it is undesirable.

It is implied that there have been and in fact are female makai knights within
the Garo many universes, although it is very unlikely that we will ever meet
any of them or get any names except perchance possibly maybe in an anime or
more likely in a novel where it can be self contained. Sad but true
