Profile: Garou
By: Coolcat207 Date: April 15, 2020, 12:02 am
---------------------------------------------------------
"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."
"Time to conduct evil."
"Stay right here and watch as the monster Garou goes on to kill
off all of your comrades."
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen. As you can see, I'm on the
monster's side. I sympathize with them much more than you
spoiled half breed bastards. 90% percent of these "evil
monsters" are just victims of the cruelty that your so called
divine and powerful parents placed upon them for horrible
reasons. So someone gotta stick up for them."
~Garou to a small group of demigods after Garou saved a "evil"
monster from the group
Stephanie Swan Quills walk out of True Cross Academy and toward
Garou who was waiting for her with a smirk and a casual wave
Garou: What's up? The old geezer's right. You really did grow
up.
Stephanie: What do you want, Garo? I have a meeting in an hour.
Garou: Just wanna catch up. The old man said that you were one
of his best, so I wanted to see that for myself.
Stephanie: raise an eyebrow Really? I don't mind a challenge,
don't get me wrong. But what's the catch?
Garou: Relax, Steph. I'm not after the little brats or your
colleagues. Just two former students catching up on things
through martial arts.
Stephanie: sighs Fine. I accept. Just leave my students out of
this. They already have enough problems. We'll also do it far
away from the campus. I don't want anyone to get involved or
butting in. We also have one hour. After that, no more. I go
back to work and you go somewhere else.
Garou: grins Fine by me.
"Yea, of course they're strong. If you're able to unleash
violence on others without ever questioning whether it's right,
like they are, you can win any fight. It means you've thrown
away your kindness. It all stinks. The stench of hypocrisy is
making me sick. Is this situation supposed to be a part of your
morality play, too? The protagonist is filled with strength
because of the good cause he's fighting for, huh. You were
saying some bullshit about me "playing monster". Do you really
think you aren't playing "hero"? All you heroes are sh*t, and
what really grinds my gears is that the sh*ttier you are, the
more the public loves you. That's why I fight. I will put my
life on the line to crush justice. You'll never be able to stop
this monster play!"
~Garou to Genesis when he and his partner Angeal were ordered to
stop Garou.
Garou: So, what's the big idea? Why did you send six tails over
here to save my ass?
R. Kindron: Simple. We want to recruit you. I have been watching
you for a while and I have to admit, I admire your skills and I
understand your goals.
Garou: Wait a minute... you're that "Storm God" everyone's been
yapping about! Aren't you a demigod like some of those losers
down there?
R. Kindron: Yes, I am a demigod but I also became more than that
to achieve my goals. I want stop those like the gods who enjoy
using us like tools. I am also getting sick and tired of those
who claim to be fighting for justice and paint those like me as
the villain while they are no better or much worse than me. I
want to put a stop to it all. If you join me, I can help you
with your goals. I can help you evolve into the ultimate monster
that even the gods themselves will fear.
Garou: Hm... then again, you are half vampire. And after hearing
what you went through, I can relate to you in a way. Alright,
I'll do it. I'll join you and your people. But if you're like
those Hyperion bastards or any of those "heroes", I'm leaving.
No exceptions.
Hana: Well that's a little hurtful.
R. Kindron: Then it's a deal. Welcome, Garou.
Name:
Garou
Other Names:
Garo
Human Monster
Hero Hunter
Demigod Slayer
Wolfman
Age:
18
Gender:
Male
Species:
Human/Monster Hybrid
Height:
5'9½
Weight:
Unknown
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. He has a lean muscular build. 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 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 red after he rubs
his own blood into it.
Family:
Unknown
Organization:
Jigsaw Organization
Powers:
Homo Superior Physiology:
~User is a human being that has developed powers and abilities
from a variety of causes, such as evolution, genetic
experiments, enchantment, having powers bestowed upon them by
other beings or sources, through birth, and training to obtain
said powers classifying them into superhuman beings. Also,
thanks to the human side of their heritage (if the powers are
genetically-based), they can use these abilities without
becoming a monster (i.e. keeping their human physique, sanity,
and humanity without it being altered from possible
instability).
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 mortal vigilantes to demigods and even ones from
different organizations like the Knights of Alban along with
hardened criminals. During the ambush led by a minor demigod
named Death Gatling, Garou claimed to have defeated nearly a
hundred demigods.
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 would have lost instantly. Garou's
advanced martial arts, which he learned from his former master
Bang, grant him an advantage when fighting humans and humanoid
creatures. He can use targeted thrusts at joints and vital spots
in order to incapacitate physical functions and return
counterattacks after anticipated 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. Though
after spending time in the Jigsaw organization, he was taught
how to deal with beastly and non humanoid creatures thanks to
the likes of Fu and The Ascendants leader, Elias.
Superior Monster Physiology:
~The user either is or can become an empowered monster with
powers and abilities that aren’t gained from birth or have
abilities beyond the limitations of their race, and are much
stronger than regular monsters. Empowered monsters are able to
possess powers and abilities without their physiology monster or
almost altered.
Immense Strength:
~Garou's strength is superhuman and on par with S-Class heroes.
He is capable of ripping Blue Fire's arm off without too much
difficulty. He is able to heavily injure Tanktop Master with a
barrage. He is shown easily breaking Heavy Tank Loincloth's arm
and knocking out multiple A-Class heroes with one strike each.
He is strong enough to not only be on par with but to also
injure Stephanie Swan Quills, who is the cambion spawn of the
Demon Prince, Leviathan. Even in his weakened state, he defeats
all of the A and B-class heroes with either a short barrage of
punches or a single strike.
Immense Speed and Reflexes:
~Garou is able to quickly dodge a vast amount of Golden Ball's
bullets from multiple directions. He can also dodge the bat
swings from Metal Bat. However, he admits that he would lose to
speedsters such as Flashy Flash, Raphael Capone, Feng Wukong and
Heidi Darkfire. Even in his weakened state, he was still fast
enough to outmaneuver the group of A and B-class heroes and
deflect Death Gatling's Death Shower.
Immense Durability:
~Garou possesses immense durability. He's able to take multiple
attacks from Tanktop Master and remain standing. He even
survives an all-out assault from three Demon level monsters:
Royal Ripper, Bug God, and Senior Centipede. Even when he was
severely weakened by Saitama and Watchdog Man's combined
attacks, 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
Gun Gun's bullet hole didn't slow him down, as noted by Glasses.
Immense Endurance and Stamina:
~Garou possesses inhuman pain tolerance. He is able to continue
fighting after suffering injuries which would normally
incapacitate normal people, such as a beat-down from Tanktop
Master. He does not flinch when Spring Mustachio's sword stabs
through his hand. 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 actually in fact
defeated all of them using smart tactics and enduring all of the
continuous pain. 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.
Enhanced Senses:
~Garou is able to effortlessly sense the trajectory of bullets
from Golden Ball's Golden Breakout, even in the dark. He can
predict the movements of Metal Bat's Savage Tornado attack. 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. Moreover, he
dodged Chain'n'toad's Ear Cutter, despite coming from a blind
spot, just by instinct. 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.
Accelerated Growth Rate:
~Garou's main attribute; in his first appearance at the Hero
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. This is also shown when Garou's
durability also being on par with the children of Leviathan
after his fight with Stephanie, along with being able to match
her strength as well.
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.
Fighting Styles:
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 learning ability allows him
to learn countermeasures for other people's fighting styles
while making their fighting styles his own. He shows this
ability against Tanktop Master, where he attacks his weak spots
and quickly turns the tables. He also shows this unique ability
in his fight with Metal Bat, where he comments that Metal Bat's
attacks are getting predictable and weird. While fighting his
opponents, Garou gains access to their fighting styles and
techniques, simply by witnessing them once. Moreover, when
fighting, Garou aims for the vital points and joints to make his
opponents lose the ability to fight back very quickly.
Furthermore, through analyzing his opponent's line of vision,
posture, muscle tension, breathing, energy, movement patterns,
and center of gravity he can almost perfectly predict his
opponent's next movement. His prediction accuracy only improves
as Garou becomes stronger.
Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist:
~A martial art Garou learned from his former master, Bang. It is
composed of a series of extremely fast and powerful punches that
can take out an S-Class hero. Garou avoids using this style if
possible because it reminds him of Bang. Charanko describes the
martial art as "leading enemies around the nose by moving like a
calm stream, only to finish them off with a punch strong enough
to smash great rocks like a raging river", implying that the
Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist parallels real-life Tai Chi. The
martial art can repel the attacks of his opponents, nullify
them, or redirect them with twice the power. Furthermore, if in
a crisis, the martial art has his body move on its own. However,
this art is incomplete as Bang did not teach Garou how to fight
against animal-like fighting styles, such as Watchdog Man's.
Also, Superalloy Darkshine noted in his battle with Garou that
Garou's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is inferior in
comparison to Bang, even when Garou was in his evolved state, as
Darkshine fought Bang one-on-one and got to see this technique
first-hand. In a fight between Garou and Stephanie, although the
both of them are users of Bang's martial arts, it is known that
Stephanie's version far exceeds Garou's version, despite knowing
that Stephanie's version is still inferior compare to Bang's.
During the battle between Garou and Bang, Genos also notes the
difference in skill being undeniable. Garou must make a
conscious effort in order to use the techniques, but for Bang,
it has become part of his very being.
Abandonment:
~Garou removes all restrictions that he had placed on his mind.
When they are removed Garou's mobility, agility and
maneuverability are heightened. During his fight with Orochi,
after Garou used Abandonment, he was capable of using Whirlwind
Iron Cutting Fist and Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist at the
same time, just like Stephanie Swan Quills who is able to pull
it off due to her physiology.
Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist:
~A martial art Garou absorbed 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. The martial art then pushes the opponent back with
various degrees of force depending on the proximity towards the
eye of the whirlwind. The cutting pressure is also used in the
martial art's kicks and is sharp enough to cut through stone.
Garou first uses this against Royal Ripper.
Military Martial Arts:
~Based on Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, this fighting style
evolves freely during combat. This was first seen used against
Heavy Tank Loincloth.
Tanktop Blow:
~Copied from Tanktop Master. Garou unbalances and distracts his
opponent by striking the ground with tremendous force. He first
uses this against Bang and Bomb.
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.
Secret Combination: Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist:
~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.
Dual-Wielding Martial Arts:
~Due to his immense training, Garou is able to use two styles of
martial arts simultaneously.
Miscellaneous Abilities:
Indomitable Will:
~One of Garou's defining traits and a factor that allows Garou
to keep fighting, even when on the brink of death, is his sheer
willpower. This will is evidenced throughout several battles
between S-class heroes, such as during the battle between Garou,
Bang, and Bomb.
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.
Carnivorous Consumption:
~Garou can consume flesh from monsters in order to regain his
energy and vitality without any ill effects.
Weaknesses:
Garou is not invincible. Despite his abnormal feats, he is still
mortal and can be killed. Though due to his evolve state thanks
to R. Kindron and the organization, Garou also obtain weaknesses
like many monsters such as being hurt by varanium and other
weapons that can bypass regeneration. Garou is also shown to be
pretty arrogant, which can be used against him if planned right.
Transformation(s):
Half 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 begins to skyrocket. Later, after
going through his own trial of fire made by R. Kindron and after
passing his test, 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 he is identified by Gyoro Gyoro as being a
"Half-Monster". His senses and abilities increase so that even
while he is asleep, he's still extremely dangerous and able to
fight enemies. 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 was able to put up a good fight against Genesis and
Angeal, although he suffered great injuries from his attacks. As
their battle rages on, Garou's abilities increase to the point
that he can match their might with his own without any
difficulty or damage. His strength eventually increases enough
to defeat the heroes.
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 ability Metal Bat has.
Garou's growth rate allowed him to easily kill Royal Ripper who
before with Bug God had defeated Garou, and Garou went on to
fight The Ascendants in rapid succession before being defeated
by the leader Elias.
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. In his battle with Han, although Garou initially had
difficulty in evading the Chinese underworld half blood's
attacks, he quickly grew in speed allowing him to dodge all of
Han's attacks and land a few blows on him.
Psychic Resistance:
~Garou is capable of adapting to and overcoming Gyoro Gyoro's
psychic powers, slowly breaking free of their restraints.
Heat Resistance:
~Garou is able to withstand Hana's light attacks at point-blank
range and was noted by Terros that Garou is able to endure the
intense heat and flames of Elias's attacks that melted and
exploded concrete.
Augmented Strength:
~Garou in this state is capable of defeating Royal Ripper with a
single strike. After being awakened by Puri-Puri Prisoner, Garou
could easily break the chains holding him and defeated the hero
with a barrage of punches, breaking through his bristle armor.
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.
During their fight, Garou's attacks caused the hero to briefly
cough up blood and pulverize the surrounding stone, reducing it
to sand.
Augmented Speed and Reflexes:
~Garou is able to easily keep up with Overgrown Rover's attacks,
and escape from his sight despite being bombarded with energy
blasts. Over the course of his battle with The Ascendants, Garou
was noted to continually become even faster allowing him to
dodge Elias's attacks and blitz through weaker monsters with
ease. Superalloy Darkshine observed that Garou's movements
continually increased in speed as he attacked him, even after
suffering serious injuries, to the point where Superalloy
Darkshine felt like he was being attacked by dozens of martial
artists.
Augmented Durability:
~Garou can survive several point-blank attacks from heavy
hitters like Hana and Terros, albeit the latter was trying not
to kill him. Garou was able to survive a tackle from Superalloy
Darkshine, which he believed would be instant death if he was
hit by it. Later during their fight Garou evolved to the point
where he could withstand being punched by Superalloy Darkshine
at full power without showing any notable signs of damage.
Augmented Endurance:
~Garou showed very little if not any pain when he was
electrocuted by a storm demigod, demonstrating high resistance
to electricity. Later in his fight with Han, his body is pierced
by Han's sword and Garou is able to keep fighting Han, despite
the visible hole in his torso and being brutally beaten by the
group multiple times. Garou's endurance later evolves to a
degree that he's able to withstand energy attacks from Han,
Genzo and Elias in sequence without time to rest. He is capable
of fighting with increasing speed and ferocity even after his
entire rib cage was shattered by Theodore.
Enhanced Instincts:
~Garou is able to quickly discern the strength of his opponents
by listening to the instinctual warning signals that his body
sends him. He was able to intuitively determine that Omega,
Draco Nightbane and Astra are highly dangerous opponents, which
led to him not fighting them at all.
Regeneration:
~Garou can heal very quickly, as he fully recovered his
life-threatening injuries from Royal Ripper in only a few hours.
He also regenerated getting pierced through his stomach after
Han's sword that was infused by his light-darkness energy powers
struck and left a big hole; he regenerated in a matter of
minutes while dodging the underworld demigod's attacks. Garou's
regenrative ability evolves even further during his fight with
Genesis and Angeal, to the point of completely healing mere
moments after injury. His body absorbs black matter from the air
to close any wound and manifests on his body as a spiraling
black mark.
Weapon(s):
None
Personality:
Garou is introduced as an antagonist with a hatred for heroes
and has a confident, vindictive characterization. He hates being
insulted and will attack any 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 along with
demigods and any other organizations like Special Forces and The
Knights of Alban if he encounters them.
Garou hates the popular, as he believes the popular will always
win in the end. 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. After watching his life repeat over and
over again on 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.
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 Hyperion members, 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.
In battle, Garou is extremely arrogant, often mocking his
opponents and calling them "amateurs". He derided Death Gatling
and the group of A and B-Class heroes, 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 and complimenting Stephanie's
power and skills when the two fought against each other.
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 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.
Bio:
As a child, Garou was unpopular and a social outcast. At school,
while he was reading a book, a popular boy named Tacchan and
another student were playing heroes, after Garou tried to make
Tacchan realize it was dangerous to kick another student from
high ground, Tacchan declared Garou to be the new villain and
himself as Justice Man. He tried to kick Garou, Garou dodged,
but after Tacchan missed and hurt himself, to which Garou
apologizes. Tacchan asked him what was he doing, pointed out
that Garou was the monster, and then kicked him in the face
while making others kids to restrain him. Later Garou tried to
stand up for himself by making Tacchan fight him to make him
realize that he cannot bully Garou anymore, but the other
children gathered around and started defending Tacchan, saying
it was just how the game works. Tacchan then cowardly asked
other children to pin Garou to the ground and called the teacher
while running away. Garou noticed how Tacchan was the one always
smiling, liked by everyone, and was good at everything, even
though he was a jerk; while Garou was alone, gloomy, and had no
friends. When talking to his uncaring and unsympathetic teacher,
s/he ignored Garou and simply lectured him on how he should not
be fighting and what might have happened if it had continued as
well as reprimanding him for not distinguishing reality and
game. After s/he was done, s/he forced the crying Garou to
apologize and then notified his parents. Garou eventually
snapped and began to see that heroes are nothing more than a
bunch of bullies who are preying on the weak and outcast of
society like him while receiving praise from other people who
equally hate the outcast.
On another occasion, Garou watched the Justice Man TV show and
was rooting for the villains to win. He became frustrated every
time Justice Man comes and stops them. He asked his father when
there would be a villain that could defeat Justice Man, but only
to hear the negative; he believed it did not make sense, as he
reasoned that the monsters the ones who are always trying their
best, but no matter what, they were always killed off unfairly
in the end simply because they are monsters. Unwilling to accept
the status quo, Garou resolved to become the strongest monster
and never lose, and to change the scenario.
Sick of being a helpless kid throughout his childhood, he became
determined to be stronger. Because of this, he decided to
venture to Bang's dojo during his adolescence, traveling very
far to meet the martial artist. When he arrived at the dojo, he
rudely demanded to know if Bang was strong. Sour Face chimed in
and asked who the arrogant child is when Garou passed out from
the exhaustion of venturing to the dojo. Sour Face asked Bang if
he should throw Garou out, but the hero was impressed by Garou's
determination, telling Sour Face to feed him until he was full
when he woke up. After this, Bang accepted Garou as a student,
and Garou quickly became the top student in Bang's dojo.
Six months prior to the Super Fight martial arts tournament that
Saitama attended, he decided that he has nothing left to learn
and rampaged through the dojo, disabling many of the students,
including Sour Face. He then received a beating from Bang and
was expelled from the dojo. After his expulsion, Garou attended
the Super Fight, disguising himself as Wolfman after
incapacitating the real one and taking his mask. Garou won the
tournament, although his identity remained unknown.
During a meeting in the Hero Association headquarters in the
middle of a coalition between a large group of villains and the
Hero Association. He states himself as an extremely powerful
individual, able to beat every present person by himself even if
they gang up on him. He reveals that his presence on the
location was merely to find strong opponents and to punish the
cowards. After three heroes agree on taking him down it's
revealed that Garou never liked heroes and always supported
monsters because of his sympathy for their ambitions.
After the flashback, he promised to become the strongest monster
and change the scenario. He attacks three A-Class heroes
border-lining S-Class in strength and beats up everyone present
with the exception of Sitch and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic as Sonic
had left said meeting pre-haste. As he leaves proclaiming this
was the epic intro of Garou the Human Monster, he promises to
come bursting through the front door of the Hero Association in
six months time after his training journey was over. Musing
perhaps he will fight King, the strongest hero in their ranks
one day while out on his jaunt.
Throughout many months during insane events such as V's coma and
the rise of both gangs trying to be on top, Garou started his
hero hunting, by hunting demigods and mortals who claimed to be
heroes. During one of those months, he visit Bang's foster
daughter and one of his best pupils, Stephanie Swan Quills at
True Cross Academy. Although she was caught at a bad time, she
agreed to fight Garou somewhere off the radar so they can fight
without interruptions. Both fighters showed to be strong in
their own way along with them showing how they're one of the
best of Bang's pupils in their own way despite their martial
arts being inferior to the old man. Despite Garou's injuries
from the half demon, he mange to deal some blows that left
Stephanie gaining some pretty serious injuries despite her
concentrated mass. After an hour pass, the two ceased their
fight and went their separate ways, though Garou promised the
half demon that they will pick up where they left off when the
appropriate time comes, which Stephanie agrees and forming a
light smile.
Two weeks ago, Garou was ambushed by a group of demigods who are
children of minor deities. They were ordered to take Garou into
custody and even had the plan to ambush him. Despite their
efforts, they were no match for Garou and each and every one of
them were defeated. Before Garou can leave, he was left to fight
Genos who arrived after receiving an emergency call from one of
the half bloods. When Genos begins to incinerate a weakened
Garou after a brief intense fight, Bang comes to intervene in
the process by kicking Garou in the face. Bang says hello to his
former student, lamenting his terrible condition, deciding to
put him out of his misery once and for all. Bang tells Garou to
take a stance, and the two martial artists prepare to fight each
other in a one-on-one duel. Garou initiates the first attack,
but before he can even react, Garou is pummeled with a burst of
quick and powerful blows by Bang.
Bang continues to pummel Garou with his attacks and when the
former student tries to counterattack, Bang expertly blocks it
and uses his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, overwhelming
Garou. Garou tried to use Death Gatling as a meat shield,
however Bomb blocks his attempt and both brothers combine their
martial arts against Garou. As they were about to land the
finishing blow, Garou surprises them by destroying the ground
and swinging a huge tree at both Bomb and Bang forcing them to
back off. Bang tells Garou to surrender, but was surprised when
Genzo swooped in and saved Garou, while calling Elder Centipede
to cover their escape.
Genzo brought Garou to Jigsaw headquarters where he met Raiden
Kindron. After a brief discussion and realizing that R. Kindron
is not much different from Garou, Garou accepts R. Kindron's
offer. After going through his own trial of fire, Garou realized
what he truly wants to do and why he wants to become a monster.
He decides to stay at Jigsaw and train with The Ascendants, even
forming a friendship them.
