Garou's Backstory

A unique perspective

First mentioned	Season 1, Section 10 (of Bang)
First appearance	Season 2, section 1

During season 2, Garou's childhood is shown briefly to explain his obsession with hunting heroes. As a child, he would look at a stereotypical good-decay-procedure superhero-show that revolves around just man's adventure. However, Garou would always root for the villain in the show and would be furious that the hero stopped his plans. Garou saw monsters as sub -dogs worth rooting for and objected to those killed by Justice Man.

Despite his current condition as a powerful fighter, Garou spent much of his childhood as a helpless child. He was bullied by other children who threw him as the villain in their hero role play. These events were strengthened to Garou at an early age that heroes were self -righteous and unfair hypocrites. An object with Garous Ire, a child called Tacchan who bullied him, was always happy and liked by everyone despite how he treated Garou.

Eventually, Garou became tired of being powerless and was consumed by a determination to correct errors in his life. This led him to apply for martial arts training in S-Class Hero Bang's Dojo. He then became Bang's student and discovered a natural talent for martial arts that led him to stand out and became a top teacher.

Garou turn from student to destroyer

As Garou improved his fighting skills, he began to develop issues with perfectionism and strived to be the best at every cost. This obsession with being powerful led to his need to improve, no matter what, constantly. During a training session, Garou crushed spectacular ceramic plates, but his master Bang pointed out that he still missed breaking one and caused Garou frustration.

In the end, his combat training ended by strengthening the negative aspects of his personality traits. This eventually led him to decide that he needed to attack all other students one day because he could not learn anything else from the training. At that moment, Garou gained a desire to overcome strong opponents who melted with his childhood dislike heroes to put him on a road to become the hero hunter. He saw the heroes as hypocritical cowards who lorded their power over others and deserved to be punished, but also as strong fighters as he could use as a run -in to make his fighting ability perfect.

Garou would go into a martial arts tournament in disguise to fight stronger opponents and eventually made his move against the Hero Association directly during season 2. Just as he did with the students at his former Dojo, defeated Garou, read and massacred a collection of heroes gathered by Hero Organization Officer Sith. After this event, Garou decides to strive for his goal of becoming the strongest human monster and actively chasing heroes.

The essence of his issues is constantly strengthening Garou's negative worldview throughout his life. No government figure comes to his help while he was bullied as a child. The only solution he sees is to educate himself to overcome their problems with violence, which society in the world of A punchman encourages and rewards. The show goes out of its way of showing corruption within the heroic association's leadership and even some top -ranked heroes. This gives Garou an easy motivation in his mind to go on his rampage and believes that he ultimately contributes to the greater good with the same extreme violence as heroes accrues to monsters and others.
