| — Garou on Orochi. |
Garou vs. Orochi is the fight between Garou and the leader of the Monster Association, Orochi.
Prelude[]
Garou is blasted to the lower levels of the Monster Association Headquarters by an energy blast from Overgrown Rover. Quickly recovering, he finds himself once again in front of Gyoro Gyoro. The monster acknowledges Garou's resilience and offers him another chance to join, but Garou refuses, choosing instead to attack as part of his ongoing hunt. Gyoro Gyoro attempts to restrain him with psychic powers, but they have little effect, and Garou continues to resist. With the Hero Association raid team approaching, Gyoro Gyoro decides not to prolong the fight. Just as Garou is about to strike, Gyoro Gyoro calls on Orochi.

Orochi's horns shatter the floor as he reaches through and grabs Garou with his hand. Struggling but unable to break free, Garou is at Orochi's mercy. Gyoro Gyoro tells Orochi to keep Garou alive, prompting the giant monster to drop him onto the massive chamber floor. Garou quickly rises and prepares to fight back. Orochi attacks with a tentacle (horn), which Garou initially dodges, but he is caught off guard when it abruptly changes direction and pierces his stomach, sending him crashing into a wall. Despite the impact, the Hero Hunter remains unfazed.

Orochi soon sends all his tentacles at once, forcing Garou to deflect them using martial arts. Leaping onto a higher platform, he startles a group of monsters watching the fight. Orochi relentlessly pursues him, but Garou increases his speed, staying ahead of the attack.
Realizing that dodging alone will not secure victory, Garou leaps from the platform to strike Orochi's head. However, to his shock, Orochi opens his maw, revealing multiple layers of mouths and teeth, and attempts to bite him. Garou barely evades the attack mid-air, only to witness Orochi transform, revealing numerous dragon heads, each capable of breathing fire. Garou withstands the intense heat, but Orochi unleashes a powerful punch, once again sending him crashing into the wall.

Still able to stand, Garou believes he can win through technique and assumes a Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist stance. To his shock, Orochi copies his movements with a single glance. Seeing this as an advantage, Garou charges in once more, but Orochi and his dragon heads use Garou's own techniques against him, overwhelming him completely.
Aftermath[]
Garou is knocked unconscious as Gyoro Gyoro remarks that he still has a long way to go. With the Hero Association's attack drawing near, Gyoro Gyoro prepares alongside the other Monster Association executives. Meanwhile, Garou is transported deeper underground, chained to a wall, and left unconscious.
