| — Bomb confronting Garou. |
Garou vs. Bomb is the battle between Garou and the master of the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, Bomb.
Prelude[]
Garou lies buried deep underground, reeling from the damage he sustained in his fight with Superalloy Darkshine. In a moment of both weakness and triumph, Garou comes to terms with his purpose, and instead of succumbing to his wounds, he evolves once more, adopting a significantly more monstrous appearance.
After the destruction of the Monster Association Headquarters and the defeat of Psykos and Orochi, a fierce battle erupts between heroes and the remaining monsters in the ruins of Z-City. While most heroes engage in the conflict, Fubuki stays behind under the protection of Bomb, helping the injured and keeping an eye out for Garou, whose location remains unknown to them.

As the battle between heroes and monsters rages on, Garou eventually breaks through to the surface. Bomb and Fubuki confront the Hero Hunter, and Bomb calls out for Bang, who begins making his way to the scene. Realizing there's no time to wait, the clash between the martial arts master and the prodigy begins.
Battle[]
Garou growls and leaps toward Bomb with a flying kick as his opening move, which Bomb is able to dodge. Bomb throws a counter punch and a kick, and Garou likewise avoids being hit. As they exchange blows, Bomb laments having to face Garou alone, wishing that Bang would have the opportunity, but the old master is intent on defeating Garou by any means necessary, and says that he won't hold back. Bomb uses his Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist to destroy the ground beneath Garou, causing the Hero Hunter to leap away.

Fubuki watches the intense battle unfold but is unable to see due to the immense speed of the combatants involved. She's caught off guard when Garou suddenly throws a punch at her, but Bomb intercepts it just in time. Garou then swipes with a punch at Bomb's face, which Bomb evades by ducking before sending Garou flying with an apparent tackle. He pursues the still-reeling Garou, drawing the fight away from Fubuki. Once Garou recovers, he and Bomb continue to trade blows, neither gaining a clear advantage until Garou lands a punch on Bomb, while Bomb's kick connects with Garou simultaneously, sending both fighters staggering back.
Garou cancels out Bomb's attack.
Bomb, appearing fatigued, contemplates Garou's rapid growth, noting how the Hero Hunter has fused various techniques into a newly customized style, and wonders if this enhancement in skills stems from monsterization. Despite being at a disadvantage, Bomb resolves to hold his ground until Bang arrives. He prepares a powerful cutting move, concealing it behind his back. By stomping the ground, he creates a cloud of dust to disorient Garou, seizing the chance to launch his attack. However, to his shock, when the smoke clears, Garou perfectly counters his blow with the same move. Immediately after, Garou knocks Bomb to the ground with a single elbow to the face, seemingly concluding their battle.
