— Garou introducing Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist[1] |
Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist (怪害神殺拳, Kaigai Shinsatsu-ken; Viz: Killing God Fist of Monster Destruction) is a fighting style created by Garou in his evolved state.
Overview[]
Garou combines the various fighting styles he's learned throughout his many battles, creating a single style of combat.[3] He claims it possesses no weak spots and is of "Disaster Level God".[4]
Upon wielding Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist for the first time, Garou was able to instantly repel both Flashy Flash and Platinum Sperm, the former being a powerful S-Class hero while the latter was an extremely powerful Mysterious Being.[5] Later on, utilizing this formidable style, he was able to pressure and harm Sage Centipede, an incredibly large and powerful Mysterious Being, causing the monster to remark on his insane strength. Garou describes this fighting style as his fists "striking fear into God".[6]
In the climax of the fight against Sage Centipede, Garou, with a single karate chop, was capable of slicing the gigantic centipede in half all the way from space to the surface, having perfected his style in the process.[7] When fighting Saitama, by using this style in conjunction with his amazing observation skills,[8] Garou can anticipate, dodge and even counter some of the hero's attacks with great precision, something that somewhat impresses the Caped Baldy.[9]
While battling Garou on Io, Saitama, after copying Garou's moves, utilized a hand chop on him, which was recognised by Garou himself as one of his martial arts techniques within Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist, making Saitama the second user of this unique fighting style.[10]
After being defeated by Saitama and subsequently having his divine powers from "God" disappear, Garou is currently unable to use this style due to having forgotten all of the secrets awakened in him since turning into a monster.[11]
In the original webcomic, using this powerful style, Garou could toy with several S-Class heroes, even deflecting Atomic Samurai's Atomic Slash, which is a sword technique capable of unleashing over 100 slashes in an instant.[12]

Known Techniques[]
- 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.[15] 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.[16]
- God Slayer Ascending Attack (神殺昇撃, Shinsatsu Shōgeki; Viz: God Killer Rising Strike): Garou strikes his opponents extremely hard multiple times before sending them flying with his final blow.[15] When using this attack against Saitama, he is seen aiming for the hero's abdomen, starting with a straight punch and following with a knee.[15] In the original webcomic, when he used this technique, Garou delivered a powerful rising slash with one of his arms.[17]
- Unnamed hand chop: Garou jumps downward with explosive force and hand chops the opponent's head. This move was first used by Garou to defeat Elder Centipede, bisecting the monster in half from head to tail.[18] Saitama copies this move and uses it on Garou on Io.[19]
