Garou is Surprised by Metal Bat's Death Blow // Metal Bat Uses Full Power against Garou

Garou was literally one "oni Chan" away from getting his brains splattered all over the floor

In case anyone doesn’t know, the creator(s) confirmed that had metal bats sister not intervened, that strike would have killed garou

Garou: Extremely powerful tecnhiques, natural talent and a strong will Metal Bat: PISSED-OFF-METER

Fun fact: Metal Bat was only 17 in this fight, give him a few more years and he’d be one of the most powerful S class heroes.

One Swing Man sure is a good anime

Garou litteraly got saved by a little girl

I like how in season 1 we look at him and think "Why is this guy with a bat among the class S heroes?" And now we can see why.

2:37 some of my favorite exchanges in anime. The way Metal Bat recovers each time is incredible. First hit he lands on his feet, second time he catches himself with his bat and turns it into a BIG wind-up. I've always enjoyed the character trope of having more endurance and guts than skill, and Metal Bat is a shining example.

"Are you going to swing that bat until you die? "Do I look stupid? I'm going to swing this bat until I win."

Metal Bat is a savage. Takes beatings like a champ. Enjoys a challenge. Stopped Garou’s kick with his forehead. Then made Garou shit himself seeing how close to death he was from him if his sister didn’t intervene.

not gonna lie, of everyone in the series, metal bat is probably my favourite - and i dunno what the writer says or nothing, but i legit think he's probably the second strongest hero after saitama. Purely because he's powered by rage and pain and the will to protect the people he loves. Every other hero treats the "job" like it's a regular 9-5 occupation, or something to help sharpen their instincts, training/test their equipment, etc. But Saitama and Metal Bat are doing it because it's the right thing to do and they want to do it. and check-out the shit they've done! lol Metal Bat may not have Saitama's level of physical strength/defense, but he''s probably the closest - he fought all 3 centipedes and lived and came within a hair's breadth of killing garaou, if Metal Bat's little sister hadnt gotten involved, garou would have been a red smear on the pavement..... that's massive levels of power - seriously, it took Bang and Bomb and Genos just to bring him to his knees.... Metal Bat nearly killed him one on one... so yeah, applaud the prince. EDIT - - Also, metal bat totallly treated Garou like he wasnt even worth worrying about at the time - just like Saitama, weirdly enough - Garou was just an inconvenience in his way to fighting a bigger threat and yeah.... like hell on earth what an awesome fight!

I love garou. His weakness is he can't hurt children.

I love how metal bat is nothing but a strong dedicated man with a bat

Little do we know Metal Bats sister is actually an S-class level individual who posseses the ability to stop anyone from wanting to fight just by telling them.

5:08 Even garou knows what's up when he said that metal bat missed the perfect opportunity lol

5:51 Oh yeah, that time Garo almost died

The fact that Garou stopped fighting after Metal Bat's sister told him to stop, shows that Garou is still human at heart, despite claiming to be a monster.

zenko : "big bro promised never to expose me to violence! no fighting!" also zenko : slaps her big bro to the ground

5:01 gave me chills

Something poetic about metal bat. He is any man that's been woken up in the middle of the night ready to fight to the death to defend his family. He's all of us.
