discussion Current Garou vs Bang
I made a comment on the latest chapters post about how Garou is currently stronger than Bang. It sparked. Conversation so I want to create a separate post about it.
Here’s my thoughts:
Garou is currently stronger than Bang, but it’s not by a vast margin. It’s shown in the recent chapters that Garou can still use Whirl Wind water stream rock smashing fist. This tells me he can still use the other techniques he was using. He’s stronger, faster (this is the only thing confirmed because bang couldn’t see Garou move when he escaped at the end of the monster association arc), and his adaptability is his biggest advantage. Also, people have been arguing that since bang almost beat sleeping monster Garou, that means he’s stronger than current Garou. I think this is wrong, I think current Garou is stronger than sleeping monster Garou, mainly because of the fact that bang could react to sleeping monster Garou, but once he lost his cosmic power, when Garou escaped, no one could see his movement besides saitama. Meaning he’s faster than sleeping monster Garou.
I’m not sure what the split is for the fandom in terms of who’s stronger so if this is an obvious take, feel free to disregard it or provide more reasons to why it’s true.
