Garou

Edit
Overview
“ The popular will win, the hated will lose. It's such a tragedy. Then I won't lose to anyone. I will become the strongest monster ever and change this scenario. ”
— Garou[1]

Garou (ガロウ, Garō; Viz: Garo) is a martial arts prodigy, the self-proclaimed "Hero Hunter," and a major adversary of the Hero Association and Monster Association. He is a disciple of Bang and was once expelled from his dojo because he went on a rampage.[9] Because of his fascination with monsters, he is commonly called the "Human Monster."[10][11] Sitch of the Hero Association views him as a grave threat to the organization despite being only a human.[12][13] After the Monster Association incident, Garou is currently being rehabilitated under Bang, who has retired from being a hero and plans for Garou to take over his role.[14]

Appearance[]

Garou is a young man with sharp features, yellow eyes, and long silver hair that spikes upward in two large prongs, giving a feeling of a young wolf.[15][16] He has a lean, muscular physique. He wears a tight, black, long-sleeved shirt, loose-fitting white martial arts pants, a yellow sash around his waist, and tai chi slippers on his feet.

As Garou fights further in the Human Monster Saga, his appearance becomes more monster-like over time. After being kicked by Saitama, he removes his shirt and wraps his upper body in bandages as he recovers. While fighting Genos, his right eye turns red and bloodshot, and his hair becomes a dark pinkish-red after he rubs his own blood into it.[17]

Next, he is given a long-sleeved black shirt and tight black pants by the Monster Association.[18] He retains a large diagonal scar across his face after being brutalized by Royal Ripper, and his right eye remains severely bloodshot. His clothes are torn and two strands of fabric flow behind him like scarves due to his encounter with Overgrown Rover,[19] and after being defeated by Orochi his entire body is black with soot. The soot is blown off when Garou blocks Superalloy Darkshine's Superalloy Bazooka, and the force of the attack also shreds his remaining clothing into a spiral pattern around the hole Orochi put in his torso.

After his fight with Darkshine and the subsequent destruction of the Monster Association base, Garou begins to undergo a transformation, developing claws, fangs, and hardened skin.[20] After resurfacing, he has armor-like skin and hair, razor-sharp claws, and glowing veins running along his body. His back also develops several glowing holes, and his torn clothing is fashioned into a makeshift cape around his shoulders and waist.[21] Following his fight against Bang, Garou's left eye armor shatters due to his master's final blow, revealing the eye beneath.[22] As his monsterization continues through various battles, his glowing veins become increasingly bright and pronounced. Later, when overpowered by Saitama during their fight, Garou's body mutates in response to his rage, greatly increasing his size and stature. His jawline sharpens, his mouth becomes more pronounced with razor-sharp teeth, and the spikes on his body lengthen and multiply, giving him a much more monstrous and intimidating appearance.[23] Soon after, while trying to catch up to Saitama, Garou transforms into an even more demonic form, increasing in size and sprouting wings from his back along with longhorns on his head, flames flickering along the back of his neck and the sides of his thighs.[24] Shortly thereafter, he grows two additional arms in this form, bringing his total to four arms.

After becoming influenced by "God", Garou reverts into a physique more similar to that of his original monsterization form, but with featureless void filled with stars, galaxies and nebulas over his body as it is surrounded by a dark bluish aura.

Once Garou has returned back into a human after cracking out of the monster-like armour skin, he returns back to his original design with silver spiked up hair and outfit. However, the large diagonal scar across his face stays permanently.

In the original webcomic, when Garou emerges from underground, the sides of his hair have transformed into horns and his clothes have seemingly fused with his body. After the beginning of his fight with Golden Sperm, his face hardens and transforms to match the rest of his body. Midway through his fight with Saitama, Garou transforms again, becoming larger and bulkier with spikes growing out of his back. His new form then mutates, growing even larger and gaining a pair of wings. After Saitama breaks apart his monster form, Garou emerges from the shell with his former appearance, but with shorter hair.

Personality[]

Garou wants to fight

Garou showcases his confidence.

Garou is introduced as an antagonist with a confident, vindictive characterization driven by a deep hatred for heroes. He hates being insulted and will attack anyone who offends him. He thinks highly of himself and uses that assertion to threaten high-ranking personnel such as heroes and Sitch. He will also attack low-ranked heroes and Hero Association staff members if he encounters them.

Garou hates those who are popular, as he believes the popular ones will always win in the end.[1] This is because as a child, he had no friends and the popular children at school enjoyed abusing him both physically and verbally, particularly a boy named Tacchan. They forced him to play Heroes, where Tacchan ("Justice Man") would beat up Garou ("the monster"). Garou noticed how everyone liked Tacchan but hated him.[26] After watching his life repeat over and over again on the basis of the Justice Man TV show, he grew a distaste of heroes in general and believed that in the end, the majority will always want him ("the monster") dead. However, this mentality also leads him to have a soft spot for victims, even his enemies. This is seen when fighting Superalloy Darkshine; when he begins attacking the hero's ears, he recalls moments when he and Tareo were bullied in a similar fashion and stops his attack.

Although Garou is a villain and considered evil by most, he possesses a sense of morality; he fights heroes in a way without killing them, but he is okay with others killing heroes. He has a soft spot for children, as shown when he converses with Tareo in the park, or when he stops fighting Metal Bat after Zenko shows up. When Tareo calls him "Mister" after Garou told him not to, he does not get angry at the child. Later, he rescues and protects the boy from the Monster Association, even risking his own life to do so.

In some ways, Garou can be considered a foil to Saitama. Both of them have their own strong sense of honor and justice, albeit manifested in different ways. While Saitama wanted to be like a hero from his childhood who fought villains, Garou wants to be a monster who defeats heroes. While Garou is a genius fighter and a prodigious martial artist, Saitama fights through improvisation, with no tactics and a rudimentary fighting technique. Furthermore, Garou can enjoy the feeling of losing in order to improve himself and become stronger in most of his fights, while Saitama desires to find a worthy opponent to get the rush of excitement he once had while he was training.

Garou cocky

Garou's cocky attitude.

In battle, Garou is very arrogant, often mocking his opponents and calling them "amateurs". He derided Death Gatling and the group of A and B-Class heroes he assembled, calling them all pathetically weak and that despite their smart idea of ganging up on him together, they were still nothing in comparison to S-Class heroes. Despite this, he does give credit to his opponents when it is due, as seen when he commented on Glasses' endurance throughout their battle.

He is very observant in and before battle, always preparing himself to combat his opponent and never fighting without prior knowledge. An example of this is when the group of A and B-Class heroes assembled by Death Gatling arrives to take him to the Hero Association. When he sees them, he asks Tareo if he could look through his Hero Association book with all of the heroes' listed powers, weapons, ranks, and abilities. He uses this to make sure he avoids the attacks that would inflict great damage upon him, specifically Shooter's poisonous arrows.

Garou is also shown to have a massive appetite, especially during his gradual transformation into a monster. He seems to especially favor drinking Coke, expressing his desire to have one while enduring Overgrown Rover's energy blasts and being shown holding a bottle of Coke in official artwork by Murata.

Garou intends to change the world through absolute evil. He views justice as being biased and unfair, seeing it as people's doing evil things to others they deem "evil" and getting praised for it, whereas absolute evil is unbiased and fair, affecting everyone the same way. Garou wants to become the fairytale-like monster that everyone fears so that they are forced to unite against him to survive. By doing so, he aspires to end conflict and war and achieve world peace.[27]

After becoming influenced by "God", he revels in the cosmic energy flowing throughout his body. He becomes even more determined to use this new power to defeat Saitama and prove himself as the "Symbol of Fear" that would change the world. Despite claiming that he managed to retain his free will and not fall under God's control, both Bang and Blast have noted that Garou's mind has been affected by God's influence as he noticeably became more cruel and sadistic than before. When Blast notes that the effects of his radiation could wipe out all life on the planet, Garou is unfazed, pleased at the fact that just being near him causes death and looking forward to how the human race would change under his absolute evil. Moreover, while he never killed any humans during his hero hunt, he decided to kill Genos in order to enrage Saitama and make him reveal the full extent of his power. When Saitama arrives, Garou even mocks his late arrival and throws the cyborg's core towards him as an act of disrespect.

However, upon his defeat against Saitama and realizing he had unintentionally killed Tareo, regaining his mind, Garou lamented his weak spirit at being influenced by "God" while becoming discouraged at how he could never be "Absolute Evil" and how he had accidentally taken the life of the boy he's always wanted to save first by changing the world. Despite this discouragement, Garou would soon find a way to set things right by teaching Saitama a way to go back in time and stop his past self. Even in spite of having his life and powers taken away by "God" while passing on to Saitama the technique for time travel, Garou had faith that Saitama could change the Ominous Future that already happened during their fight.[28]

Garou wants to become a monster, as explored through his title the "Human Monster". However, his vision of a monster is an absolute existence that does not belong to anyone and is a symbol of fear to all, not a mass murderer.[29] As a result, he is disgusted by the monsters in the Monster Association as they do not follow his "monster policy".[30]

Although Garou has no qualms about killing monsters, he never kills a single human. The Monster Association notices this, which leads to them betraying him. Saitama also notices this when Garou is going easy on the S-Class heroes,[31] and also when Garou is faking a threat to kill Tareo while actually moving away from the kid.[32] When it is their turn to fight, Garou's attacks are only meant to "injure" Saitama so he would stop being a hero, not to kill.[33] This prompts Saitama to call Garou "soft" and "not serious".[34]

According to Saitama's diagnosis of his character, Garou actually wants to be a hero but decides on the much easier role of a monster.[35] After hearing this diagnosis, Garou's monster persona shatters, and he is left not knowing what to do.[36] He even accepts death,[37] but his will to live returns after hearing Tareo tell everyone how he saved the boy's life twice.[38]

After escaping, Garou gives up on his former goals and adopts a much calmer and more restrained mindset, deciding to work a part-time moving gig. When attacked by Suiryu and his squad, Garou only defends himself to the extent necessary and walks away after the situation is defused.

Abilities and Powers[]

Human[]

Prior to his hero hunt, Garou was Bang's best disciple and was able to defeat all of his fellow students before being expelled by Bang. Garou's combination of genius martial art intellect and heightened physical attributes allowed him to defeat numerous heroes from the Hero Association as well as many hardened criminals.[39] During the ambush led by Death Gatling, Garou claimed to have defeated nearly a hundred heroes.[40] He was able to defeat the Tank Topper Army single-handedly early in his hero hunt, including the A-Class hero Tanktop Vegetarian and even the S-Class hero Tanktop Master, who was overwhelmed by Garou's superior technique. Garou later challenged and defeated the S-Class hero Metal Bat, comparing him to an amateur fighter but privately admitted to himself that had a single one of Metal Bat's strikes connected, he could have lost. His advanced martial arts, which he learned from his master Bang, grants him an advantage when fighting humans. He can use targeted thrusts at joints and vital spots in order to incapacitate physical functions and return counterattacks after anticipating his opponent's movements. However, as a result of that, his fighting style becomes far less effective against beastly tactics and non-humanoid forms. This is proven when he is easily overwhelmed by Watchdog Man despite previously defeating two other S-Class heroes.

Physical Abilities[]

Garou defeats Heavy Tank Loincloth

Garou defeats the A-Class hero Heavy Tank Loincloth with a single punch.

Immense Strength: Garou's physical strength is superhuman and on the level of an S-Class hero, capable of defeating A-Class heroes with little to no effort. During his training days, he has been seen doing push-ups with only two fingers, on top of having several heavy rocks on his back.[41] He was able to rip Blue Fire's arm off and break Heavy Tank Loincloth's arm without difficulty, knocking him out with a single strike.[39] He could also heavily injure Tanktop Master, an S-Class hero, with a barrage of punches and defeat him after getting serious.[42] Furthermore, with a finger flick to the face, he can knock out a grown man and push him back with enough force to also incapacitate another one right behind.[43] Even in his weakened state, Garou was still able to defeat a group of A and B-Class heroes with either a short barrage of punches or a single strike.[44]

Immense Durability: Garou is very resilient. He was able to take multiple attacks from Tanktop Master and remain standing, despite coughing up a lot of blood.[45] Even when he was severely injured by Watchdog Man and later Saitama, he was still able to combat the group of A and B-Class heroes and tough out the pain. Even Shooter's poison arrows and the bullet hole in his leg from Gun Gun didn't slow him down, as noted by Glasses.[46] He also survived an assault from two Demon-level monsters: Royal Ripper and Bug God, though he was put in a near-death state.[47]

Garou dodges attack from Golden Ball

Garou dodges a point-blank bullet from Golden Ball.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Garou possesses an extreme amount of speed and reflexes, far surpassing that of average heroes. He was able to effortlessly dodge a fire-based attack from Blue Fire and rip his arm off before the hero could even realize what happened.[48] He also managed to react to and dodge, albeit barely, a point-blank bullet from Golden Ball despite being caught by surprise, as well as being able to quickly dodge a vast amount of the latter's bullets from multiple directions and redirect them into each other at the same time without difficulty after adapting to the dim-light environment.[49] His amazing speed was once again shown when he was able to easily dodge and deflect all attacks from the S-Class hero Metal Bat, even moving faster than the latter could see.[50] Even in his weakened state, Garou was still fast enough to outmaneuver the group of A and B-Class heroes and keep up with S-Class hero, Genos, in their fight.[51][52]

Immense Stamina and Endurance: Garou possesses inhuman pain tolerance. He is able to continue fighting after suffering injuries which would incapacitate normal people, such as a beat-down from Tanktop Master,[53] or when Spring Mustachio's sword stabs through his hand, without him so much as flinching.[54] Moreover, after being weakened by multiple fights from the day before and suffering a fever, he managed to continue fighting multiple heroes at once and, in fact, defeated all of them using smart tactics and enduring all of the continuous pain.[55][51] Even when being battered to a bloody pulp by both Bang and Bomb, arguably the two most powerful martial artists on the planet, slipping in and out of consciousness, and losing feeling in his arms, he was still able to persevere and create tremors in the ground, uproot a tree, and spin it at amazing speeds, to the utter shock of both Bang and Bomb.[56]

  • Poison Resistance: Garou shows resilience against being poisoned as seen when he was hit with two poisoned arrows that would have ordinarily knocked him unconscious within minutes. Instead of succumbing, he continued to fight against the team of heroes facing him, and then went on to fight Genos, Bomb, and Bang in rapid succession without showing any significant signs of being hampered by the poison in his system.
  • Electricity Resistance: Garou has shown high resistance towards electricity, as during his fight with Royal Ripper and Bug God, when electrocuted by power lines, Garou showed little to no pain and continued fighting with little trouble.[57]
Garou deflects Death Shower

Garou uses his superhuman senses to deflect the barrage of bullets from Death Gatling's Death Shower.

Enhanced Senses: Garou is able to sense the trajectory of bullets from Golden Ball's Golden Breakout, even in the dark.[58] He is also able to sense that people are watching him, as he realizes he is being watched by two monsters despite being engaged in battle against Metal Bat at the time,[59] as well as being able to sense killing intent very clearly.[60] Moreover, he dodged Chain'n'toad's Ear Cutter, despite coming from a blind spot, just by instinct.[61] It is also shown that his sense is sharp enough to enable him to deflect a barrage of shots from a Gatling gun flawlessly without letting a single shot hit him.[62]

  • Keen Observation: Thanks to his observation skills and keen eye, Garou can predict movements of the opponent by analyzing their line of vision, posture, muscle tension, breathing, energy, movement patterns, and center of gravity, thus allowing him to evade their attacks and effectively counter-attack them.[63][64] In the original webcomic, after evading some of Saitama's attacks, Garou describes this ability to him as "he is already dodging before Saitama begins attacking".[65]
Garou evolves after his fight against Royal Ripper and Bug God

Garou evolves after his fight with Royal Ripper and Bug God.

Accelerated Development: Garou's main attribute; in his first appearance at the Hero Association headquarters, the human monster admits that S-Class heroes would be too much for him to handle. Shortly afterward, however, he is capable of fighting against and defeating the very same S-Class heroes, such as Tanktop Master, in physical combat. This ability is shown to be at work mid-combat too, as seen when he was on the verge of defeat at the hands of Bang and Bomb but was able to turn the tables quickly on them despite his extreme injuries and exhaustion.

  • Enhanced Adaptability: As a result of his increased growth rate, Garou shows remarkable adaptability in battle. Though his eyes were initially unable to track Golden Ball's projectiles in the dark alley where they fought, Garou's eyesight quickly adapted to the point where he could handle a barrage of ricocheted projectiles and deflect them with ease.

Fighting Style[]

Master Martial Artist: Garou is an extremely skilled fighter, who adapts to combat and uses the advantage of the opponent's weak spots to give himself the upper advantage in fights. His super learning ability (超学習能力, Chō Gakushū Nōryoku) allows him to learn countermeasures for other people's fighting styles while making their fighting styles his own.[3] He shows this ability against Tanktop Master, where he attacks his weak spots and quickly turns the tables. Moreover, when fighting, Garou aims for the vital points and joints to make his opponents lose the ability to fight back very quickly.[66] Furthermore, Garou is even talented enough to acquire a martial art fighting style with only a single reading, specifically the Exploding Heart Release Fist.[67]

Garou beats up TTM

Garou uses his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

  • Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist (流水岩砕拳, Ryūsui Gansai-ken; Viz: Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock): A martial art Garou learned from his master, Bang. It is composed of a series of extremely fast and powerful punches that can take out strong enemies. Garou avoids using this style if possible because it reminds him of Bang. The martial art can repel the attacks of his opponents, nullify them, or redirect them with twice the power.[68] Furthermore, if in a crisis, the martial art has his body move on its own.[3] However, this art is incomplete as Bang did not teach Garou how to fight against animal-like fighting styles, such as Watchdog Man's.[69] Initially, Garou's command of the art is far inferior to his master's, as noted by Genos and Superalloy Darkshine.[70][71] He must make a conscious effort in order to utilize the techniques, but for Bang, it has become part of his very being.[72] Despite this, Garou has managed to sharpen it through battles,[73] able to later fight on-par with his master while in his monsterized state.[74]
    • Awakening Breath (剛醒呼法, Gousei Kohou): A breathing technique that draws out the body's maximum potential. When used, the user's physical capabilities are temporarily increased.[75] Garou is seen utilizing this technique against Death Gatling's group of heroes,[76] and later against Orochi.[77]
Garou using Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist to slice Royal Ripper into pieces

Garou makes Bomb's fighting style his own.

  • Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist (旋風鉄斬拳, Senpū Tetsuzan-ken; Viz: Fist of Whirling Wind, Slashing Steel): A martial art Garou copied from Bomb. This martial art style involves a powerful hand movement technique to create a razor-sharp whirlwind pressure that chops the opponent into tiny pieces.[78] The martial art then pushes the opponent back with various degrees of force depending on the proximity towards the eye of the whirlwind.[79] The cutting pressure is also used in the martial art's kicks and is sharp enough to cut through stone.[80][81] Garou first uses this against Royal Ripper.[82]
  • Self-Styled Martial Arts (我流武術, Garyū Bujutsu): Based on Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, this fighting style evolves freely during combat.[3] This was first seen used against Heavy Tank Loincloth.[83]
Garou uses Watchdog Man's movements

Garou mimics Watchdog Man's movements.

  • Watchdog Man's movements: During his fight with Genos, Garou is shown to have been able to mimic the movement of Watchdog Man, moving around on all fours similar to a wild animal, in which he uses to catch Genos off guard and rip off his right arm.[84]
  • Tanktop Blow (タンクトップブロー, Tankutoppu Burō): Copied from Tanktop Master.[85] Garou unbalances and distracts his opponent by striking the ground with tremendous force. He first uses this against Bang and Bomb.[86][87]
  • Dual-Wielding Martial Arts: After fighting against multiple heroes and due to his immense training, Garou is able to utilise two styles of martial arts simultaneously such as Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, as seen during his fight against Orochi[88] and Darkshine.[89]
    • Whirlwind Water Stream: Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist (旋風流水 交牙竜殺拳, Senpū Ryūsui: Kōga Ryūsatsu-ken; Viz: Whirling Wind Flowing Water: Fist of Biting Fangs, Killing Dragons): A combination of the martial arts of Bang and Bomb. This technique is usually only achievable with two users, but Garou manages to reach a degree of mastery that allows him to use the combination without needing a second person. Garou first uses this against Darkshine.[89]
    • Whirlwind Water Stream: Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist (旋風流水 轟気空裂拳, Senpū Ryūsui: Gōki Kūretsu-ken; Viz: Whirling Wind Flowing Water: Fist of Roaring Qi, Rending Air): An advanced technique that combines both Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist.[90] Normally, two users are required to utilize this technique, but Garou manages to reach a degree of mastery that allows him to use the combination without needing a second person. It is wondered by Bang if Garou's ability to perform this technique is thanks to his monsterization.[91] With Bang's and Bomb's martial arts in each of his hands respectively, Garou unleashes a barrage of punches, creating intense shockwaves that pulverise the surrounding stones. Upon connecting, even only a single hit, the shockwaves will course through the victim's body, subsequently breaking their bones into pieces and incapacitating them.[92] When using against Bang, despite only grazing him, the shockwave from Garou's blow was still powerful enough to seemingly wreck Bang's body and knock him out.[93]
  • Exploding Heart Release Fist (爆心解放拳, Bakushin Kaihō-ken; Viz: Fist of Exploding Heart, Liberation): A martial art focuses more on brute strength and destructive force, opposing to the defensive martial art Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. Garou first came across this technique when he broke into a safe that contained the scroll of this fighting style at Bang's dojo.[94] Though he only took a glimpse of it, after becoming a half-monster, Garou was capable of mimicking this fighting style, albeit Bomb noted Garou's usage of this martial art was still incomplete.[95]
  • Tiger Fang True Fist (虎牙烈真拳, Koga Retsu Shin-ken; Viz: Fist of Tiger Fangs, Biting Truth): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[96] Has not been shown yet.
  • Purgatory Abyss Fist (空虚深淵拳, Kūkyo Shin'en-ken; Viz: Fist of Abyssal Emptiness): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[97] Has not been shown yet.
  • Lake-Breaking Ice River Fist (湖割氷河拳, Kogatsu Hyōga-ken; Viz: Fist That Parts Lakes and Glaciers): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[98] Has not been shown yet.
  • Fool's Path Mountain Range Fist (愚道山脈拳, Gudō Sanmyaku-ken; Viz: Fist of Foolish Paths, Mountain Ranges): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[99] Has not been shown yet.
  • Ultimate Fist of the Yatagarasu (八咫烏極拳, Yatagarasu Kyoku-ken; Viz: Ultimate Fist of the Three-Legged Crow): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[100] Has not been shown yet.
  • Pressure Point Killer Fist (圧迫面殺拳, Appaku Mensatsu-ken; Viz: Killing Fist That Crushes Faces): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[101] Has not been shown yet.
  • Poisonous Ogre Fist (空鬼未毒拳, Kūki Midoku-ken; Viz: Fist of the Nonpoisonous Sky Demon): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[102] Has not been shown yet.
  • Lone Fist of Prosperity (引孤隆盛拳, Inko Ryūsei-ken; Viz: Fist of Lonely Prosperity): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[103] Has not been shown yet.

  • Fire Dance Bullet Trail Fist (炎舞弾道拳, Enmai Dandō-ken): A martial art Garou absorbed through battle.[104] Has not been shown yet.
  • Tanktop Tackle (タンクトップタックル, Tankutoppu Takkuru): Copied from Tanktop Master. He charges at his opponent, bulling them over with folded forearms. He uses this against Flashy Flash.[105]

Miscellaneous Abilities[]

Garou getting excited

Garou's strong willpower and spirit.

Indomitable Will: One of Garou's defining traits that allows him to keep fighting, even when on the brink of death, is his sheer willpower. This is evident in his battles against powerful opponents like Genos, Bang, and Bomb. His unwavering desire to become a "genuine" monster and spread fear worldwide fuels his incredible determination, motivating him to achieve his goals despite facing immense challenges.[106] Even after being severely beaten by Watchdog Man, Garou quickly regains his confidence, seeing it as an opportunity to further improve his capabilities.[107] Furthermore, he displays little fear when facing the overwhelming power of Monster King Orochi, steadfastly trying to best the formidable foe.[108] Through the sheer force of his willpower, Garou is able to endure near-death experiences and undergo rapid growth, unlike many others who become mindless and incapable of further progress after such trials.[109]

Garou speed dining

Garou binge eats a massive meal.

Massive Appetite: Garou is shown to have a massive appetite, as he can stuff himself with the full list of items on the menu of a restaurant in order to rejuvenate himself. Despite his toned body and slim physique, he is able to stuff down large meals and even chug an entire pitcher of water with a single gulp, showing his enhanced metabolism.[110]

  • Carnivorous Consumption: Garou can consume flesh from monsters in order to regain his energy and vitality without any ill effects.[111]

Monsterfication[]

“ Your monsterization is steadily progressing, and you grow incredibly strong. If you follow my training program, you may equal or even best Lord Orochi. ”
— Gyoro Gyoro on Garou's monsterization.[112]
Monster Garou

Garou as a monster.

After being pushed to his limits in a series of fights against a team of A-Class and B-Class heroes, followed by Genos, Bang, and Bomb, Garou's evolution skyrockets. Later, after being almost killed in his fight with Royal Ripper and Bug God, his power explosively increases, and his clothes merge with his body, causing him to slowly transform until only his face remains untouched. As a result of being pushed to the brink of death and overcoming it, his limiter starts to break, and Gyoro Gyoro identifies him as being a "Half-Monster".[113] His senses and abilities increase so that even while he is asleep, he's still extremely dangerous and able to fight enemies.[114] Even though he admits he's not a pretty sight while he's asleep, he was strong enough to easily defeat Puri-Puri Prisoner. Garou fought well against Superalloy Darkshine, although he suffered great injuries from his attacks.[115] As their battle rages on, Garou's abilities increase to the point that he can match Superalloy Darkshine's full-power Superalloy Bazooka with his own attack.[116] His strength eventually increased to the point where he could pressure and harm the hero both physically and mentally before Tatsumaki interrupted their battle.[117] Though it should be noted that this victory has more to do with the hero's underlying psychological insecurities than any significant advantage in power on Garou's side. After experiencing Garou's explosive rise in power firsthand, Darkshine believes nobody may stand a chance against him by the time he makes it to the surface.[118]

Physical Abilities[]

Explosive Growth Rate: As a result of appearing to break his limiter, Garou's abilities can increase immensely in a very short period of time. He likens this to the Fighting Spirit (気合い, Kiai) ability Metal Bat has. Garou's growth rate allowed him to easily kill Royal Ripper,[119] who before with Bug God had defeated Garou. He later went on to fight far more powerful foes such as Overgrown Rover,[120] Gyoro Gyoro,[121] and Orochi[122] in rapid succession before being defeated by the latter.[123] Garou demonstrated his escalating fighting skill in his battle with Superalloy Darkshine by continuously improving his strength and refining his skills against the S-Class hero until he completely overwhelmed him.[124] During his fight with Bomb in his evolved state, the latter was also surprised by Garou's escalating fighting skill and commented that through his battles, Garou has combined various techniques and refined them into his own style, prompting the elder martial artist to wonder if that was a result of his monsterization.[125] During his and Metal Bat's fight against Sage Centipede, the two's powers, despite the difference in strength, were considered so extremely similar that fighting together caused a "resonance and amplification" between them. Not only did this allow them to inadvertently coordinate together to form a combo attack, but it caused Metal Bat's destructive power to exhibit an explosive increase "as if Garou was lifting him", which in turn, by that same resonance, caused Garou's power to increase as well. Garou eventually became so powerful by this resonance that he was able to punch straight through Sage Centipede's body, leaving a large hole in the monster's body.[126]

Augmented Adaptability: Garou's ability to adapt to his opponent's fighting style is increased even further. After encountering Super Mouse, Showerhead and Unihorn, Garou was able to counter each of their individual attacks with ease and his experience from fighting Stinger allowed him to effortlessly deflect their combined attack.[127] In his battle with Orochi, although Garou initially had difficulty in evading just one of Orochi's horns,[128] he quickly grew in speed allowing him to dodge all of Orochi's horns at once while maneuvering between the different levels of the Monster Association headquarters.[129] After mastering Bomb's Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist fighting style, Garou was able to use it to perfectly counter Bomb's own techniques after briefly fighting him one-on-one.[130]

  • Psychic Resistance: Garou is capable of adapting to and overcoming Gyoro Gyoro's psychic powers, slowly breaking free of their restraints.[131]
  • Heat Resistance: Garou is able to withstand Overgrown Rover's energy blasts at point-blank range and was noted by Gyoro Gyoro to be able to endure the intense heat of Orochi's attacks that melted and exploded solid concrete.[132][133]
  • Acid Resistance: After his battle with Superalloy Darkshine, Garou becomes further monsterized and develops an armour-like skin. In this state, he could kick a hole through Fuhrer Ugly's acidic body without any injury, despite the acid being potent enough to melt Darkshine's highly durable skin and Atomic Samurai's specially forged sword immediately upon contact.[134]
Garou severing Royal Ripper's head with a punch

Garou severing Royal Ripper's head with a single punch.

Augmented Strength: Garou in this state is capable of defeating Royal Ripper with a single strike.[119] After being awakened by Puri-Puri Prisoner, Garou could easily break the chains holding him and seriously injure the hero with a barrage of strikes, penetrating his bristle armor as well as effortlessly defeating him shortly afterwards.[135] It should be noted that Garou did this while he was sleep-fighting and wasn't right in his senses. Garou's enormous strength convinced Puri-Puri Prisoner that even a fellow S-Class hero like Superalloy Darkshine would have difficulty facing him.[136] During his fight with Superalloy Darkshine, Garou's growth rate caused him to grow further in power and become able to match the strength of the S-Class hero.[137] After his fight with Darkshine, Garou's monsterization increased his strength further, allowing him to defeat Bomb and later Bang, his own master, all while still in his unconscious/sleeping state. Once awakened, he was capable of killing Fuhrer Ugly and sending Platinum Sperm flying, the former being a powerful Dragon-level threat while the latter being the ultimate fusion of Black Sperm, another Dragon-level monster, with a single attack each.[138] Soon, Garou became strong enough to engage in a fight against Platinum Sperm and the S-Class hero Flashy Flash, and after the latter was defeated, he fought one-on-one against the fusion monster on equal footing and eventually evolved enough to defeat him a mere moment later.[139]

Garou splits Sage Centipede in half with a karate chop

Garou splits Sage Centipede in half all the way from space to the surface.

Once defeating Platinum Sperm, Garou encountered Sage Centipede, a giant centipede monster vastly more powerful than Elder Centipede, capable of seriously damaging Sage Centipede's humanoid face and causing it to remark that Garou was strong.[140] In the climax of the fight against Sage Centipede, Garou's strength increased enough that he was eventually capable of splitting the giant centipede in half vertically all the way from space to the surface, with a single hand chop.[141] Later, in his fight with Saitama, Garou demonstrated his immense physical strength when he kicked the hero into the ground from a far distance in the sky, which caused great destruction to the landmass beneath. As he evolved further during the fight, Garou displayed an exceedingly impressive feat, capable of moving oceanic plates and raising a large landmass on the other side of the planet with his attack. This attack was powerful enough to even distort the space around the Earth and mess with its magnetic and gravitational fields, albeit not enough to harm Saitama.

Garou dodging Monster King Orochi's attacks during their fight

Garou dodging multiple of Orochi's high speed and flexible horns.

Augmented Speed and Reflexes: Garou can keep up with Overgrown Rover and escape from its sight despite being bombarded with energy blasts.[142] Throughout his battle with Orochi, Garou was noted by Gyoro Gyoro to continually increase in speed, allowing him to dodge Orochi's attacks and blitz through weaker monsters with ease.[143] Superalloy Darkshine observed that Garou's movements continually increased in speed as he attacked him, even after suffering severe injuries, to the point where Superalloy Darkshine felt like dozens of martial artists were attacking him at once.[144] During his one-on-one fight with Bomb, Garou moved so quickly that Fubuki was completely unable to follow his movements.[145]

Garou and Platinum Sperm's incredible speed

Garou fighting Platinum Sperm while crossing large distances within only 1.3 milliseconds.

After his battle with Bang, Garou was able to swiftly combat and overwhelm three Dragon-level Mysterious Beings in a fraction of a second.[146] Later, he was capable of keeping up with Flashy Flash and Platinum Sperm in combat, the former being an S-Class hero well-known for his extraordinary speed. All three of them were so fast that a geometric structure of light was created from the speed of their fight.[147] After Flashy Flash's defeat, Garou engaged in a one-on-one battle with Platinum Sperm and increased his speed even further. He displayed the ability to combat and travel at immense velocity, exchanging hundreds to thousands of blows with Platinum Sperm while creating a denser geometric structure of light across vast distances within only 1.3 milliseconds (0.0013 seconds).[148]

  • Afterimage Creation: Due to Garou evolving through fighting, his speed drastically increased to the point where he could leave afterimages of himself when he moved at high speeds.[149][150]

Augmented Durability: Garou can survive several point-blank attacks from both Overgrown Rover[132] and Monster King Orochi,[151] albeit the latter was trying not to kill him. He was able to survive a powerful tackle from Superalloy Darkshine, which he believed would be instant death if he was hit by it (though, his entire ribcage was shattered).[152] Later during their fight, Garou grew to the point where he could withstand Darkshine's stronger attacks, such as Superalloy Bazooka[153] and Superalloy Double Bazooka with significantly less damage.[154] In a more monsterizated state, Garou could take many blows from Bang and eventually defeat him. Further evolving, Garou demonstrated enough durability to withstand attacks from Sage Centipede, a monster larger and stronger than Elder Centipede, and Evil Natural Water, who had absorbed the entire ocean and increased the destructive capacity of its water cannons to a vastly higher level than before.[155] In his fight against Saitama, Garou underwent several more transformations and was able to endure multiple punches, although Saitama was holding back.

Augmented Stamina and Endurance: As his monsterization progressed, Garou's stamina and endurance significantly improved. In his fight with Overgrown Rover, Garou was able to endure a brutal assault from the Dragon-level monster and advance through the Monster Association Headquarters,[156] eventually confronting Gyoro Gyoro and Orochi without rest.[157][158] While fighting Orochi, one of the latter's horns pierced his body, yet the injury did not hinder him; he continued to fight despite the visible hole in his torso.[88] Later, in his fight against Superalloy Darkshine, Garou demonstrated remarkable endurance, fighting with increasing speed and ferocity even after the S-Class hero shattered his entire rib cage.[159]

After emerging from underground, Garou, in his further monsterized state, was capable of overcoming many battles against powerful opponents such as Bomb,[160] Silver Fang,[161][162][163] Platinum Sperm,[164] and then Sage Centipede,[165][166][167] in rapid succession without any rest. Despite his fights against them, Garou showed little to no signs of fatigue in the aftermath.

Enhanced Instincts: Garou can quickly discern the strength of his opponents by listening to the instinctual warning signals that his body sends him. He could intuitively determine that Overgrown Rover was bad news, leading him to retreat.[168]

Regeneration: Garou can heal quickly, having fully recovered from life-threatening injuries inflicted by Royal Ripper in just a few hours. After being pierced through the stomach by Orochi's horn, which left a big hole, his bleeding soon stopped, and by the time Puri-Puri Prisoner encountered him, the wound had completely regenerated. His regenerative abilities evolved further during his fight with Superalloy Darkshine, allowing him to heal quickly after sustaining injuries. When he resurfaced, injuries from Darkshine, including his shattered ribcage, appeared to have fully healed, if not already during the fight. His body absorbs black matter from the air to close any wound and manifests on his body as a spiraling black mark.[169] During his fight with Saitama, Garou could regrow his forearm almost instantly after it was completely destroyed by a headbutt from the hero.[170].

Flight: In his fight with Saitama, Garou undergoes a transformation that grows a pair of wings on his back, allowing him the ability to fly.[171]

Transformation: In his fight with Saitama, Garou showcased greater control over his monsterfication, to the point of purposefully creating a second pair of arms in an attempt to overwhelm Saitama.[172]

Energy Projection: Garou can use his hands to form energy beams used as a jetpack to throw Saitama through a mountain.[173]

Fighting Style[]

Garou's Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist

Garou demonstrates Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist.

  • Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist (怪害神殺拳, Kaigai Shinsatsu-ken; Viz: Killing God Fist of Monster Destruction): The culmination of many martial arts styles Garou has learned and absorbed through battle. He combines and utilizes all of his styles synergistically. It was first used in his fight against Platinum Sperm and Flashy Flash. Using this culmination of martial arts, Garou could dodge and counter a few of Saitama's punches, with the hero remarking that it was a weird way of moving.[174]
    • God Slayer Instant Attack (神殺瞬撃, Shinsatsu Shungeki; Viz: God Killer Swift Strike): Garou throws a volley of punches and different hand-strikes at the opponents.[24] In the original webcomic, this attack was enough to encourage Saitama to use Two-Handed Consecutive Normal Punches to counter it, instead of just Consecutive Normal Punches.[175]
    • God Slayer Ascending Attack (神殺昇撃, Shinsatsu Shōgeki; Viz: God Killer Rising Strike): Garou delivers a series of forceful strikes before sending them flying with his final blow.[24] When using this attack against Saitama, he aims for the hero's abdomen, starting with a straight punch, followed by a knee strike, and concluding with a kick.[24] In the original webcomic, when used this technique, Garou delivered a powerful rising slash with one of his arms.[176]
  • Great Fa Jin (大発勁, Dai-hakkei; Viz: Massive Fa Jin): A technique designed to incapacitate opponents by focusing on and harming their internal organs. When used, his hands appear to glow as he strikes the opponent's abdomen with open palms. This impact penetrates deep into their body, causing severe internal damage and generating powerful shockwaves that pulverize objects behind the victim as side effects.[177]
  • Extreme Fa Jin (極発勁, Goku-hakkei; Viz: Mega Massive Fa Jin): As its name suggests, this technique is a more powerful variant of Great Fa Jin. When used, Garou presses both hands against the opponent, forcefully pushing them to the ground. This attack exhibits tremendous strength, generating powerful shockwaves that can traverse through Earth's core and even lift a large landmass on the opposite side of the planet, all while causing distortions in magnetic and gravitational fields.[178]

Influence from "God"[]

“ "Divine power"? I like that! My mere presence causes death. I'm finally getting to be the symbol of fear. ”
— Garou on his newfound power.[179]
Cosmic Fear Mode Garou appears

Awakened Garou: Cosmic Fear Mode.

Awakened Garou: Cosmic Fear Mode (覚醒ガロウ: 宇宙的恐怖モード, Kakusei Garō: Kozumikku Fiā Mōdo; Viz: Awakened Garo, Cosmic Fear Mode) is the form Garou assumes after becoming influenced by "God".[180] This form resembles a featureless void filled with stars, galaxies, and cosmic dust, while his silhouette reflects his appearance after the fight with Darkshine. Upon seeing him still retaining part of his personality, Blast remarks that although Garou's mutation is extreme, he has not fully embraced "God's" power. During his battle with Blast, Empty Void reveals that Garou possesses a dark nature that defies "God", leading Void to consider Garou a failed creation. Nonetheless, his already impressive abilities escalate to astonishing levels in this form, capable of combating unbelievably powerful fighters, such as the top-ranking S-Class hero Blast, and even Saitama.[181] Although unable to defeat him, Garou was capable of somewhat holding his own against a serious Saitama, making him the most formidable opponent the Caped Baldy has faced so far.[28] However, while serious, Saitama was only using one hand to fight Garou.[182] Following his defeat, Garou loses access to this cosmic transformation due to all of his divine power fading away.

Physical Abilities[]

Saitama and Garou's fists collide

Garou matches Saitama in a clash of punches.

Augmented Strength: After transforming once again under the influence of "God", Garou's strength reaches even more astonishing levels. Remarkably, by utilizing Mode: Saitama, a supernatural mimicry ability, he gains access to Saitama's striking power, allowing him to match Saitama's Consecutive Normal Punches blow for blow.[183]

Saitama and Garou forming Serious Punch²

Garou and Saitama colliding fists in a clash of Serious Punches.

Later, Garou's strength increased further after perfectly replicating the power of Saitama's Serious Punch. A clash of Serious Punches between them resulted in the creation of Serious Punch² which released powerful waves of energy threatening to destroy the Earth. After being redirected by Blast and his interdimensional allies, the energy produced travelled into outer space where it (presumably) destroyed numerous star systems in the far distance, leaving a large circle of starless-darkness in space.[181] In the climax of the fight on Io, Garou became further more powerful by repeatedly copying Saitama's strength, which was rapidly increasing thanks to Saitama's accelerating growth, albeit losing to the hero in the end.[28]

Augmented Durability: Garou's outstanding durability becomes even greater under this form. He could withstand Blast's gravity-enhanced strikes without significant harm and survive being propelled from Earth to Io almost instantaneously, where he crashed unscathed. During their battle on Io, Garou's remarkable physical toughness and resilience allowed him to endure numerous Serious Punches from Saitama, who began fighting him seriously.[181] However, his damage-resistance has limits; he acknowledged that one of Saitama's increasingly powerful punches could eventually kill him due to the accelerating growth in Saitama's physical ability.[28] It appears that Garou's durability strengthens when tapping into Saitama's striking power via the Mode: Saitama ability; the greater the strength he accesses, the more resilient and durable he becomes.

Saitama and Garou's Serious Punch about to collide

Garou reacts to Saitama charging towards him.

Augmented Speed and Reflexes: Garou's immense speed and reflexes are further enhanced under this form, as he was capable of meeting Saitama's Consecutive Normal Punches blow for blow using the same attack.[183] When Saitama became enraged and charged towards him with a Serious Punch, Garou displayed surprising reflexes by reacting promptly and attempting to counter the Caped Baldy immediately.[184] Later on, he managed to react and respond fast enough to even keep up with a serious Saitama in combat, with both of them simultaneously punching each other in the face.[181] It appears that Garou's copying ability encompasses speed and reflexes as well, allowing him to adapt to and somewhat keep pace with the hero. However, there were instances where Saitama still moved faster than he could perceive and react. Regardless, with Saitama's physical abilities constantly evolving through accelerating growth, Garou soon discovered himself outpaced in their clash.[28]

Enhanced Growth Rate: Garou retains his rapid growth rate, enabling him to become more powerful quickly to overcome opponents in battle, even after transforming under "God's" influence. He claims that he can copy Saitama's strength and soon surpass it to defeat the hero. However, during their exchange, it becomes evident that Saitama's growth rate surpasses Garou's, resulting in the Hero Hunter's defeat.

Vacuum Survival: In this state, Garou demonstrates the ability to adapt to and survive in extraterrestrial environments where oxygen is scarce or absent. When transported to Io, one of Jupiter's moons, he remained unaffected by the thin and unbreathable atmosphere there.[181] This resilience, combined with his abnormal resistance and probable immunity to cosmic radiation, suggests that he can endure the harsh conditions of outer space as well.

Superhuman Eyesight: Under the influence of "God", Garou's eyesight becomes enhanced to immense levels, allowing him to see with remarkable clarity and detail over vast distances. While in space, he could observe Earth from near Jupiter, akin to using a telescope.[185]

Supernatural Abilities[]

Garou gaining knowledge of the universe

Garou awakening to the flow of all energy and the behaviour of all forces in the universe.

Cosmic Knowledge and Energy Projection: After transforming under "God's" influence, Garou gains knowledge of the flow of all energy and the behaviour of all forces in the universe. With this understanding and divine power, he can harness energy to replicate various phenomena, including releasing high-concentration beams of energy akin to gamma ray bursts and creating nuclear reactions that result in massive explosions emitting large doses of radiation.

Cosmic Radiation Emission: Under the influence of "God", Garou's body constantly emits lethal levels of radiation, which have harmful effects on living creatures in his surroundings. Human victims quickly experience symptoms of acute radiation syndrome, such as bleeding and hair loss, ultimately succumbing to death moments after reaching a critical level of exposure. Even formidable individuals like S-Class heroes are susceptible to the adverse effects of this radiation, including Zombieman, who possesses powerful regenerative abilities. The emitted radiation is so potent that it poses a catastrophic threat to all life on Earth, potentially rendering the planet uninhabitable, as remarked by Blast.[184] This dire threat prompted the top-ranked S-Class hero to begin redirecting the majority of the radiation emitted to another dimension using his manipulation of gravity from the moment the Hero Hunter appeared.

Copy Ability: Under the influence of "God", Garou's ability to emulate fighting styles reaches extraordinary levels. Previously, he could only imitate techniques based on physical movements, such as those of martial artists (he could not mimic abilities like psychokinesis, for instance). However, he now has the ability to replicate actual supernatural powers he witnesses, gaining access to two of Blast's abilities: opening portals and manipulating gravity, during their brief battle.[184] Additionally, he can replicate the strength levels of his opponents, allowing him to match their power levels. Thanks to this remarkable copying ability, Garou could surprisingly reach Saitama's level of strength and somewhat hold his own against him. However, he was ultimately outmatched by Saitama's rate of growth which keeps increasing his physical prowess, regardless of how many times Garou may have copied him.[28]

Garou attempts to teleport Saitama away

Garou opening a portal beneath Saitama.

  • Portal Creation: After briefly fighting Blast, Garou obtains the ability to open hyperspace portals, allowing him to teleport to different locations. He demonstrated this power by swiftly returning to Earth through a portal after being forcibly transported to another dimension by Blast.[186] In his confrontation with Saitama, he effectively utilized this portal creation ability by generating multiple portals that allowed him to attack the hero from unpredictable angles and exploit blind spots.[187] Notably, Garou can traverse vast distances in space using the portals, although he requires a clear line of sight to the desired destination. For instance, he successfully located Earth by using the Sun as a reference point and promptly teleported back to the planet from a location near Jupiter.[188] Unlike Blast, who needs to clasp his fists together to activate sufficiently large portals for teleportation, Garou does not require this gesture, as he has never been shown doing so.
  • Gravity Manipulation: After briefly fighting Blast, Garou could recreate the S-Class hero's ability to manipulate gravity, using it to enhance the power of his punches.[184]
Garou begins to manipulate time

Garou begins his time travel technique.

Time Travel: Under the influence of "God", Garou gains the ability to manipulate particles within his body at a sub-atomic level and force them to behave like anti-particles, which he refers to as his most powerful technique.[28] Although not fully mastering this technique, he demonstrated it to Saitama after their battle, seeking the latter's help to improve it to change the Ominous Future. He was soon killed by "God" during this attempt, but Saitama managed to replicate and improve Garou's technique, successfully using it to travel through time.[28] Despite Garou himself stating that he has not mastered this time travel technique, it was implied that he managed to grasp it in the end, as shown when Tareo was woken up by what seem-to-be Garou's soul from the Ominous Future, signifying that he too traveled through time alongside Saitama.[189]

Fighting Style[]

All Life Eradication Fist (全生命体根絶拳, Zen Seimeitai Konzetsu Ken; Viz: Fist Of Eradicating All Life-Forms): A new, unique fighting style that Garou develops after transforming under the influence of "God". By combining his understanding of energy flow from Bang's teachings with the cosmic knowledge imparted by "God", he gains the ability to harness the natural energy of the universe. This allows him to channel his internal force and simulate universal phenomena through sheer physical ability.[183]

  • Nuclear Fission (核分裂, Kakubunretsu): A nuclear reaction that Garou replicates and implants into his fists. This enables him to unleash punches capable of triggering nuclear explosions. These explosions emit vast amounts of harmful radiation, forming large mushroom clouds that can be detected by nuclear detection tools. Psykos describes these explosions as akin to "divine power," likening them to the energy spheres created by Homeless Emperor.[183] In his fight with Saitama on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, Garou was able to unleash a nuclear punch that triggered an explosion covering a significant area of the moon. While in space, he released another nuclear punch, producing a spherical explosion seemingly comparable in size to a section of Jupiter, though this could be a matter of perspective.
    • Nuclear Fission Gravity Knuckle (核分裂重力拳, Kakubunretsu Jūryoku Ken; Viz: Nuclear Fission, Fist of Gravity): A powerful attack that utilizes two powers at once within each of Garou's fists. He throws a barrage of punches, with the power of gravity in his right hand and nuclear fission in his left.[184] Finalizing the combo, the effect of Gravity Knuckle generates a singularity-like phenomenon with strong gravitational pull, which then absorbs the nuclear explosions produced by Nuclear Fission before dissipating.
Garou unleashing Gamma Ray Burst

Garou unleashing Gamma Ray Burst.

  • Gamma Ray Burst (ガンマ線バースト, Ganma-sen Bāsuto): Garou replicates the natural cosmic phenomenon of a gamma ray burst. When used, the area around him forms a miniature singularity, and he emits two parallel beams of energy in his chosen direction. Saitama notes that even a glancing blow from this attack on Earth's surface would be catastrophic, prompting him to intervene to prevent such an event.[190]

Shakkei (借勁): A martial arts technique that allows Garou to harness and borrow nature's power by mimicking the movements of living creatures. He calls these imitations Modes (モード, Mōdo), which he finds cooler. After copying techniques and fighting styles from others, he can further improve upon them and surpass the original users' proficiency.[183] This extends beyond techniques and styles, as Garou can also tap into and utilize the raw strength of observed individuals. His featureless face changes to reflect the facial features of those he imitates.

Garou using Mode - Saitama

Garou activating Mode: Saitama.

  • Mode: Saitama (借勁モードサイタマ, Mōdo Saitama): Garou copies Saitama's fighting style, causing his featureless face to transform to resemble Saitama's. This supernatural mimicry grants him access to Saitama's striking power.[183]
    • Consecutive Normal Punches (連続普通のパンチ, Renzoku Futsū no Panchi): An attack of Saitama's, where Garou throws a series of rapid punches.[183] When used to collide with Saitama's, Garou was able to match him blow for blow.[191]
    • Serious Punch (マジ殴り, Maji Naguri): An attack of Saitama's, where Garou throws an extremely powerful punch.[184] When used to collide with Saitama's, the two clashing fists created a Serious Punch², which outputted so much destructive energy that it would have destroyed the Earth and had to be redirected by Blast and three of his companions to spare the planet. Upon being diverted, the energy released from Serious Punch² further travelled into space where it (presumably) destroyed numerous star systems in the far distance,[192] leaving a starless void in the cosmos.

  • ONE originally made a mistake on the webcomic version of Chapter 85 that is 「善悪の立場を否定してやるたい！」 where やるたい normally would be やりたい. The mistake led to a Hakata dialect (Hakata-ben/Fukuoka/Kyushu dialect), a dialect of speakers from the Kyushu region that seems to give off a rural or rough impression. Some stereotypes about Kyushu guys include “macho, stubborn, and warm-hearted.” (Japanese people know these are only stereotypes, so this is just for fun.) ONE noted that the stereotype coincidentally fits Garou quite well.[218]
  • Sketch of Garou's design as his limiter begins to break, finally fully revealed in the manga almost two years later in Chapter 126.[219]
  • In the 2017 One-Punch Man Halloween cover,[220] Garou was depicted with blonde hair and disguised as a werewolf, a reference to Garou pretending to be a monster.
  • Despite not being directly stated to be a God-level threat, Garou has met the requirements to be classified as one, a threat that endangers humanity's existence on Earth, as per the standard of the Hero Association. Specifically, Garou, in his Cosmic Fear Mode would threaten all life forms on the planet, as stated by Blast.[184]
  • Garou is by far the opponent who has taken the most hits from Saitama so far. During their fight, especially after becoming influenced by "God", Garou was able to withstand Saitama's Serious Punch numerous times and keep fighting for a short period before ultimately being defeated.
    • In the original webcomic, he survived at least 7 of Saitama's normal punches,[221][222][223][224][225][226] numerous body slams,[227][228] a direct hit from Saitama's Consecutive Normal Punches,[229] an exchange with Saitama's Two-Handed Consecutive Normal Punches,[230] a fall from Saitama's Serious Table Flip,[231] a counter from Saitama's Serious Headbutt,[232] and a smash from Saitama's fist.[233] The battle against Saitama in his final form is not shown, so the actual amount of attacks he survived is unknown.
  • Awakened Garou is considered to be a "near-perfect monster" by ONE.[216]
