| — Garou to Flashy Flash and Platinum Sperm. |
Garou vs. Flashy Flash vs. Platinum Sperm is the three-way fight between Garou, the S-Class hero Flashy Flash, and Platinum Sperm.
Prelude[]
Platinum Sperm "passing through" Garou and Flashy Flash
After being teleported to the surface, Flashy Flash notices that Garou is nearby and unexpectedly launches a kick at the Hero Hunter, who narrowly avoids the strike. As they begin to converse and recognize each other's identities, Platinum Sperm interrupts them by passing through the two and simultaneously pummeling them. He expresses his disappointment that, despite his significant monsterization, Garou still lacks the courage to join the monster side. Unfazed by the earlier attack, both Flash and Garou rise to their feet, each asserting their intent to defeat the other two. The free-for-all fight ignites as Garou declares, “Bring it on!”
Battle[]
Garou stomps the ground which sends many rubble flying
Platinum Sperm and Flash charge at Garou, who leaps high, resulting in the two crossing blows against each other. To their astonishment, Garou swiftly descends with a powerful double kick, prompting Flash and Platinum Sperm to dodge while the impact shatters the ground and sends debris flying. Amidst the floating debris, the three fighters engage in a rapid exchange of blows, using the rocks as platforms.
Three of them fighting at high-speeds
Their battle is so fast that it generates a geometric pattern of light from their movements. Flash lunges at Garou but is quickly knocked away. Taking advantage, Platinum Sperm uses the tentacle on his head to wrap around Flash's neck, restraining him while repeatedly pummeling him, making the hero cough up blood. Flash retaliates with his Wind Blade Kick but Platinum Sperm dodges. Platinum Sperm then proposes an alliance with Garou to take down Flash, noting the latter's vulnerability after losing his sword and suggesting they can have a one-on-one fight afterward. Garou pretends to agree, but as soon as Platinum Sperm lowers his guard, Garou punches him in the face, enraging the fused monster. As the fight continues, Garou reveals his Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist, repelling both Platinum Sperm and Flash with a barrage of punches.
Flashy Flash attacks Garou with Flowing Shadow Feet
As the battle goes on, Platinum Sperm punches Flash, who blocks the blow, but the impact still sends him crashing into rubble. Garou immediately appears behind Flash, attempting a kick, but the hero narrowly evades. Overwhelmed, Flash reflects on how, in just one day, he has encountered four individuals (Saitama, Blast, Garou, and Platinum Sperm) who all surpass his supposedly unmatched speed, which deeply wounds his pride. Furious, Flash charges at Platinum Sperm with his Flashy Fist, successfully landing several blows. However, Platinum Sperm remains fine and immediately counters by spinning his arms and the tentacle on his head to activate his Platinum Rings, deflecting the remaining punches from Flash. He grabs Flash's wrist and taunts him, claiming he now knows the limits of a mere human, before kicking him away. Frustrated, Flash turns his attention to Garou, using his Flowing Shadow Feet to launch an upward kick at the Hero Hunter.
Flashy Flash is defeated by Platinum Sperm
After Garou easily deflects Flash's blow, the S-Class hero is left vulnerable. At that moment, Platinum Sperm intervenes, delivering a hard flying kick to Flash's face while mocking his numerous openings and questioning his spirit. As he continues to viciously pummel Flash, Platinum Sperm compares him to Superalloy Darkshine, saying that heroes lose their resolve when bested in their specialty, focusing only on their pride. He declares that a true hero who genuinely wishes to protect the weak does not exist, ultimately finishing Flash with a devastating punch that sends him crashing to the ground, knocking him out.
Garou defeats Platinum Sperm
With Flash defeated, Garou immediately turns his attention to Platinum Sperm, and they engage in a serious battle, accelerating their movements even further. They battle evenly, creating an even denser constellation of light as they cover vast distances while exchanging a barrage of strikes. Their movements are so fast that the entire sequence takes just 1.3 milliseconds. Eventually, Garou lands a punch on Platinum Sperm's face before he can defend with his Platinum Rings, sending him flying into the ground. Injured and furious, Platinum Sperm calls out Garou. In an instant, Garou rushes through him, plunging both hands into his body, delivering a finishing blow that causes Platinum Sperm to explode into pieces.
