If ONE wanted to introduce the concept of Garou copying an ability where he has not copied an ability before, then there would have to be a first time, wouldn't there? I'm saying that while copying an ability is new and different, it's still just an extension of what Garou has already demonstrated which is copying off of his opponents.

It being an 'ability' only matters if it has been established Garou is incapable of copying abilities. While, Garou has only copied fighting styles in the webcomic and in the manga so far, nothing has been established that makes it impossible for him to copy abilities in the manga now.

The manga supports Garou copying Metal Bat's ability. Just because it didn't happen in the webcomic doesn't mean it can't happen.
