Garou - One Punch Man

Garou despises popular kids, believing they always win. This belief stems from his childhood, during which he had no friends and was constantly bullied by popular kids, especially a boy named Tacchan. They forced him to play Heroes, with Tacchan ("Justice Man") beating up Garou ("The Monster"). Garou noticed how everyone adored Tacchan but hated him. Seeing his life mirror the Justice Man TV series over and over, he developed a strong aversion to heroes, convinced that society would always want "the monster" dead. However, this mindset also grants him a degree of sympathy for victims, including his enemies. This is evident during his fight with Superalloy Darkshine, where he begins attacking the hero's ears but stops after recalling how he and Tareo were bullied in similar ways.

Although Garou is considered a villain and many deem him evil, he acts according to his own sense of morality. He fights heroes without killing them, though he doesn't object to others doing so. He shows compassion for children, as seen when he talks to Tareo in the park or stops fighting Metal Bat after Zenko intervenes. When Tareo calls him "Sir" after he's told him not to, Garou doesn't get angry. Later, he protects the boy from the Monster Association, even risking his own life to save him.

Garou was Bang's best disciple and was able to defeat all of his fellow disciples before being expelled by Bang. Garou's combination of brilliant intellect in martial arts and enhanced physical attributes allowed him to defeat numerous heroes of the Hero Association, as well as many hardened criminals. During the ambush led by Death Gatling, Garou claimed to have defeated nearly one hundred heroes.

He is a martial arts prodigy, the self-proclaimed "Hero Hunter," and a formidable adversary of both the Hero Association and the Monster Association. He is a disciple of Bang and was once expelled from his dojo for causing a disturbance.
Due to his fascination with monsters, he is commonly known as the "Human Monster".

From a young age, I admired the villains on a television show.
He never thought it fair that the villains would prepare a complex plan, only for the hero to ruin their plans at the last moment.

Garou is presented as an evil character with a hatred for heroes and has a confident and vengeful characterization. He hates being insulted and will attack anyone who offends him. He thinks highly of himself and uses that assertion to threaten high-ranking personnel like heroes and Sitch. He will also attack low-ranking heroes and Hero Association staff if he encounters them.

Garou is a young man of average height with sharp features and white hair that is spiked into two long points. Despite his apparent thinness, he is shown to possess a muscular physique. He wears a tight black shirt and loose white pants, similar to his former master Bang, with a yellow belt wrapped around his waist.
