Garou vs. Bang

With my own hands... I'll make you come to your senses!

Garou vs. Bang is the battle between Garou and his former master, and the S-Class hero Silver Fang.

Prelude
After Garou arrives on the surface of Z-City following an extreme physical transformation, he immediately confronts and duels Bomb, who calls out to Bang. Bomb fights with Garou in order to buy time, but is overcome by his brother's former disciple and defeated. Just as Bomb is brought down, Bang arrives.

Battle
Bang comments on Garou's sorry appearance in his monsterized state and asserts that he will take Garou down with his own hands. Pledging to go all out one last time, Bang beckons Garou forward, and they clash while Bomb looks on. Bang's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Garou's are completely on par, with master and disciple alike dodging and reflecting every blow. Bang, who used his Awakening Breath technique at the start of the fight, notices that Garou has mastered it as well, with only a glance. Bang manages to kick Garou away and immediately rushes towards him, proceeding to send him into the air with a tackle. As Bang quickly catches up to Garou by jumping into the air, he cups his hands together and attempts to slam him into ground. Garou counters this by using his left hand to deflect the blow away before grabbing Bang by the neck with both of his legs and sending his head crashing into ground instead. Bang gets up and has a bleed on his head. Realizing just how much more skilled of a fighter Garou has become since his days as a disciple, he backhandedly tells Garou that he is more worth teaching now than ever before. Garou merely growls and the two continue to fight. The two of them simultaneously land a hit on each other that knocks both of them back. Garou then takes the stance of Exploding Heart Release Fist, which surprises Bang and Bomb as that is the martial art style Bang primarily used before creating his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. Utilizing his new fighting style, Garou proves able to overwhelm his former master and pushes him back, significantly injuring him, although Bang refuses to give up and rushes towards Garou. After exchanging a few more blows, both of them keep their distance and face off each other, with Bang deciding that he will quit being a hero and telling Garou that they will be master and disciple again after the Monster Association incident is over. Their battle intensifies, with Bang being the one who is at a disadvantage but briefly gaining the upper hand by using grappling and kicking Garou away. Garou eventually showcases his Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist, to the shock of his former master, who then struggles to defend against the Hero Hunter's onslaught. Bomb, watching the powerful shockwaves released from Garou's technique, notes that if Bang takes even a single hit from Garou now, his bones will break into pieces as the shockwaves will course through his body. Ultimately, they both simultaneously attempt to land a final blow on each other, with Bang successfully punching Garou in the face, drawing a noticeable amount of blood from him and cracking his face, while the punch of Garou merely grazes Bang's chest but that alone is still enough to wreck Bang's body and cause him to fall to the ground, defeated.

Aftermath
After the battle, Bomb, still unable to move, expresses concern for Bang. Fuhrer Ugly soon arrives and prepares to claim his revenge on the elder artist, who has been gravely injured and immobilized from the intense fight against the Hero Hunter. At this moment, something in Garou has changed.
