What do we think of him?

his theme song is fucking excellent
I can't wait for the full release

He reminds me of Worf from TNG.

ONE is a genius.

I enjoyed Garou. I don't think that his character motivation is as original as people say but I do think that One did a good job at conveying why he is the way he is. I thought the conclusion for him was neat because it isn't Garou being put down because he turned into a monster like old yeller or something saccharine like that but it also wasn't just forgiving the antagonist for the terrible things he did. Saitama understanding Garou because he wasn't paying attention is funny but it also makes good use of the concept of him being a pretty normal dude surrounded by battle shonen characters.

So what was garous monster form if you can call it that, saitama said it was a costume but it seemed pretty real to me

it was like an armour of blood, hair, dirt etc basically what's happening to him now in the manga (he's clothes fusing to his skin with all his blood) is what happened to him in the webcomic. it's just not shown very well i guess. though the forms to manifest out of nowhere, but i still think it's blood and dirt and stuff

love him, not in a gay way tho, I think

he's a fairly sweet guy

Garou is best boy.
From his design, to his personality quirks, to his based individualistic mindset, he’s perfect.

the only quirk of his that I find endearing is his love of Cola, the superior beverage

This. I would've likely dropped OPM ages ago if it weren't for Garou.

His motivations are fucking retarded. Monsters in this series aren't misunderstood or whatever, they are genuinely pure evil and want to genocide all humans. Only a moron would sympathize with monsters over the heroes or anyone else.

He is the best OPM character, also because he is the anti-hero of the story
MA/The Organization/monsters: conventional villains
Garou: anti-hero
Genos: conventional shonen hero
Saitama: MC/unconventional hero

>Garou
>siding with anyone
Relax m8. His very concept is saying a big fat fuck you to factions with their braindead groupthink in favour of doing what he personally wants. He can't stand both herofags and monsterfags, and never sides with any group. At best he'll be on friendly terms with other particular individuals, like Saitama and Bang.

he isnt a moron just has an immature idea of how the world works because he felt like he wasnt good enough to want to be a hero
his idea of a monster and a hero comes from anime he watched as a kid.
the ironic thing is, everyone was treating Garou as a monster like he wanted but Saitama is the only person who saw that Garou was just an idiot kid who needed a hero to save him from himself.

In fact what he claims being his motivations aren't his actual motivations. He fights both heroes and MA, and calls heroes on their hypocrisy. In the WC it gets all cleared in his fight against Saitama.

No wonder Garou is liked by both westerners and poor collectivism-fatigued nips so much

>in favour of doing what he personally wants
Ironically he doesn't do what he personally wants and instead does what he feels is the next best thing as dictated by the very rules he pretends to be separate from. If he wanted to be a hero he'd be trying to right all the collected problems of society he perceives because he feels like heroes have to be a perfect entity, so he gave up and became a monster because the rules of being a monster are so much simpler since his television monsters just have to keep fighting heroes.

Why are there so few female heroes in this show?

because women are boring, weak and inferior to men

Go back to Yea Forums edgelord

can't wait to see his arc post-saitama

Bc real world women dont do nearly as many hazardous jobs as men so its reasonable to assume (in universe) that theyre also not willing to risk their health being a hero unless they have some disposition/advantage (espers)

Gary Stu

>being this new
faggot

Nah, Garou does what he wants and feels is right, and ultimately believes the world lives by the "might makes right" principle. Meaning, those in power decide what's just. He chose one of the most complicated routes possible pretty much: going against every group in power alone and upholding your own image of monster/hero in an attempt to change current order is extremely hard.

The simplest path by far is conforming and joining any of the existing groups.

>we
Why are newfags literally incapable of forming their own opinions?

>Garou does what he wants
He's doing something all right but the story makes it clear it's not what he truly wants; which was to be a hero. The real simple path is being a monster because instead of having to actually fix anything all he has to do is keep fighting heroes.

There's a reason that in the couple of times people call him out and ask what he actually plans to do he generally brushes them off after a couple questions. This monster route he took doesn't have any real logical backing save his hatred for the popular.

Garou is literally just a contrarian edgelord.

No, the story makes it clear he mixes hero and monster together. His symbol of fear goal is also established very early on and explained in clear detail later. Garou aims to destroy every group in power, both hero and monster association. His ultimate goal pretty much revolves around exploiting the herd mentality because getting rid of it completely is just unrealistic. People are sheeple. They always bind up together against anything that stands out. This is absolutely true.

He is doing what he wants and he goes against everyone to do that because he's personally strong enough - against groups of people trying to force sets of rules or stereotypes onto him he doesn't give a damn about or flat out dislikes.

>the story makes it clear he mixes hero and monster together
When? Because helping out one kid doesn't make him Heroic anymore than him claiming to be a monster made him one. He's only Heroic in the classical sense in that he does extraordinary feats, by the terms of the story he's not a hero at all. As for his aim, he only intended to take down the hero association, even in the webcomic the Monster Association was largely just collateral of getting back the ugly kid and never an explicit goal of his. And the Manga is clear on that as well, he was just going to leave with Tareo had those 3 demons not got him mixed up with Rover and separated.

He's just doing the next best thing to what he wants. But no matter how "personally strong" he is he didn't have the confidence to follow through with his actual goal of being a hero.

This right here. He chose the hardest path barring personally coaching every dude in the world to be a strong and independent-thinking individual.
It appears Garou's character dilemma was ultimately resolved by the JUST GET FRIENDS trope though.
ONE really likes his message that socializing and opening up to people is good, while carrying all burden alone is unhealthy and so on. I get it but sometimes it's too simple. I wonder what he's got in store for Garou in the future.

When? Throughout the entire story. Garou literally applies qualities usually typical of a hero to a monster. Like courageously fighting to protect the things you care about no matter the odds, fighting for peace and so on. He did that with characters in media and he himself plays the exact same kind of villain in the story, mixing hero and monster together. Also, Garou outright says that he aims to take down both HA and MA after learning more about the latter.

Garou did what he wanted. He denied stereotypes and went against every faction for that, which is far harder than joining any of the existing groups. Garou's lonely path is complicated as hell in comparison and requires utmost strength, mental and physical.

>Like courageously fighting to protect the things you care about no matter the odds, fighting for peace and so on
You must not read a lot of fiction if you think these qualities are exclusively heroic. An incalculable number writers have shown that villains are just as equally motivated by their own definitions of peace and the need to protect what they care for. I bet you think Griffith is a hero too huh?
>Also, Garou outright says that he aims to take down both HA and MA after learning more about the latter.
And then proceeds to try and leave the association and largely doesn't attack their members on sight unless provoked. Which is the opposite of how he treats the heroes who are attack on sight. You'll have to post the page you're talking about but I'm 100% sure it's just him saying that while being dumped on by Gyoro. Probably nothing more than the angry threats of a guy who was getting his shit pushed in.
>Garou did what he wanted.
What he wanted was to be a hero and he did what seemed like the next best option and he clearly had reservations about doing it because he could never commit. It's more appropriate to say he was forcing himself to be a monster in contrast to his true desire.

Thats more on Saitama not seeing him as a monster and just a pretender as he could see that Garou didn't want to be one. Though it was basically a culmination of his skin, blood and whatever scraps of his clothing he had left combined into a hideous form.

eh give or take em, makes for a good antagonist but just seems like an edgy boi to me
in the end he is just gonna end up as part of saitama's group o frens by the looks of how things are going.

Best arc in the webcomic and best fight in the series so far.

Attached: 1554231010726.png (960x1280, 552K)

I never said they're exclusively heroic. They are popularily heroic qualities however. The image of a hero valiantly fighting to protect the things he cares about and win no matter the odds is an undying classic. OPM blatantly illustrates it as well.

No, Garou proceeds to fight Psykos and Orochi after he says he wants to destroy MA, and after that he never tries to "just leave" like you claim. The only reason he was trying to leave in the first place was because he wished to get Tareo out ASAP and find an opportunity to recover his own energy if he can.

Garou absolutely did what he wanted - he denied stereotypes and rebelled against everybody. He mixed a hero and a monster together and went against every faction to do that, which is far, far more difficult than simply joining forces with any of them, period.

>I wonder what he's got in store for Garou in the future.
Most likely a version of Saitama's licenseless hero past. Garou will end up clashing with both heroes and monsters and do generally right deeds without receiving proper credit because he's a Scary Weirdo (Saitama was a Funny Looking Weirdo) who isn't part of the pack. But some of the people Garou personally helps will respect him.

>I never said they're exclusively heroic
I'm just pointing out that claiming that using stuff like the power of friendship is heroic ignores that in a lot of stories those same qualities are applied to villains as well. Garou having them doesn't automatically make him a somewhat heroic character, it just makes him less cartoonishly evil than others.
>and after that he never tries to "just leave" like you claim
Not at that point you idiot. He's currently unconscious and like I said he was trying to leave before and then he got forced into fighting Orochi and Gyoro. It's your headcanon that he would have gone back to the monster association had he not been interrupted because by your own words he didn't even make them a "target" until Gyoro and Orochi which still sounds more like retaliation and a somewhat empty threat on his part.

>Garou absolutely did what he wanted
Keep repeating yourself user, but the webcomic is very clear. Garou wanted to be a hero and gave up on that dream. Everything else was something he couldn't actually follow through with mentally and physically when Saitama showed up. If he really was doing what he wanted he wouldn't have been so conflicted internally.

the majority of heroes rely on above average physical abilities, which are usually exemplified by males. That's why the strongest female characters are the psychic sisters and martial/combat based b-classers like pink hornet and lily; Mizuki is the only female character that appears to rely solely on her physical abilities but she is merely a B-class and is huge for a woman. between S and A class, Tatsumaki is the only (known) female between the two groups, although she is by far the strongest discounting Saitama and potentially Blast. (Fubuki is A-tier though, so it is literally just those two who can pull serious weight as females)

S CU HEROO KYAAA HUU!!

season 2 killed the fanbase on Yea Forums

It does make Garou a heroic character as well, however. The narrative is not even subtle about that. Him mixing a hero and a monster together is a crucial part of his character.

You have no idea what point you're even talking about. You're confused about the entire timeline. You said "he proceeds to leave" after Garou said he's going to destroy MA too. Except after Garou said that, he proceeded to fight both heroes and monsters, as well as repeat that he aims to destroy both HA and MA. And I explained why he tried to leave in the first place as well. To get Tareo out and recover. Garou's intentions are clearly stated, but he's just one man after all.

Garou did what he wanted, user, and his chosen path where he mixed a hero and a monster, denying stereotypes, fighting and challenging entire factions alone, is far harder than a conventional hero or monster path where he could've simply joined one of the factions.

>You have no idea what point you're even talking about
He didn't target about the monster association until at the very latest Gyoro and Orochi. You still haven't provided the proof he even said he'd take down the organization and not just them. And as I've pointed out he completely ignores the MA unless they provoke him this entire arc.
>Garou did what he wanted
The story tells us what Garou really wanted. What he did however was the opposite.

Attached: x12.jpg (600x848, 91K)

I said Garou set out to destroy MA after learning more about them. As such he explicitly says he wants to take down Psykos in order to make MA crumble, he explicitly says he's going to end both HA and MA to Darkshine, and he targets both heroes and monsters. All of this is easy to comprehend. Garou wants to be the strongest, the sole symbol of fear governing all, and he doesn't want MA meddling. For pete's sake, he blatantly hates MA got any attention from humans and its impact on them. Garou's desire to take them down is stated and illustrated numerous times, just like Garou's determination to get the ultimate strength to do so.

Garou's ideal of a hero is literally ingrained into his image of the noble monster. The story indeed tells us what Garou wants and shows him doing what he wants alone in opposition to entire factions, which are trying to force stereotypes onto him. It's a fact that what Garou is doing is far harder than simply joining any of the factions, period. It's an extremely complicated path already, one that requires ridiculous mental and physical strength to pull off.

nah it's the homosexual samefag

>Garou's ideal of a hero is literally ingrained into his image of the noble monster
He holds other people to his image of an ideal hero if that's what you mean?
>It's an extremely complicated path already
It boils down to keep fighting heroes. Garou isn't complicated at all. He eschewed all complexity by going down the path of a monster.

Not just that, he literally applies the qualities of the ideal hero to himself and his noble monster image.

No, alienating and fighting against the whole world on your own is one of the hardest paths imaginabale. Heroes and villains alike have allies and conform to so called norms. Garou refuses any, goes against the norms, gives the middle finger to everybody and puts individual strength above everything. Ultimately he only has himself to rely on and seeks to put a giant target on his back. That is hard as hell to maintain, an inherently lonely and difficult existence.

It would've been much, much easier for Garou if he became another member of the organizations we already have in the story, who just kill people/monsters, or even just minded his own business as a freelancer ''''''''HERO''''''''. Instead Garou complicated his own path to an extreme extent.

>No, alienating and fighting against the whole world on your own is one of the hardest paths imaginabale.
Having no plan and just an aim. Not having any alliegences and having a single policy for dealing with all problems is easier than picking an actual side and having to moderate your reaction to things. All garou has to do is keep fighting and he believes this will somehow lead to peace even though he doesn't know how. He picked the easiest path, it would be harder to be a hero and then try to hang the system or become a monster and try to make them less hostile to humans.

Sure fighting everyone might seem hard. But with the ability to power up all the time it cuts the edge off the challenge in the long run.

>But with the ability to power up
Which every human has you stupid faggot, OPM isn't like your BNHA trash, there is no "ability"
The only real super power is ESP

>Which every human has you stupid faggot
I didn't know every single loving human could reach awakened Garou levels of strength.

They actually can, every single human has a limit and the potential to break it, that is all there is to it.
You should try and pay attention to the series.

>every single human has a limit
And they have different levels of potential. So not everyone can power up like Garou, in fact, the opposite is true shitposter.

>And they have different levels of potential
Saitama already demonstrated that potential is meaningless since it is possible to break through with enough effort.

i want garou to bit my shoulder

Hell, the fact that Garou became that strong and he didn't even break his limiter shows that it is completely possible for people to become as strong as him.

No, Garou objectively picked one of the hardest paths. Going up against the whole world alone is much harder than conforming to one of the existing factions or minding your own business. And his plan is, like I've already explained - literally exploiting the herd mentality since getting rid of that is impossible. He means to overthrow the entire world order by himself, not just one of the organizations. Also Garou's "ability to power up" is testament to his extreme tenacity, which comes with blood and sweat and only reinforces how hard and painful it is to stand up against everybody on your own. It requires insane mental and physical strength.

Like above said, the only route harder than this would be solo teaching every single being in the world individually to better them mentally and physically, which - suprise - nobody even thinks about in this series. That's freaking peak level idealism.
