In the latest episode, One-Punch Man delves into Bang’s shocking background through a flashback sequence! Fans have been particularly interested in watching how the confrontation between Bang and his old pupil Garou plays out, especially since the war between the Hero and Monster Associations has culminated in the book’s most recent chapters.
Following Garou’s final time with the monsters, he has evolved into a hideous new form, and Bang has stepped up to the plate in an attempt to bring down his old student once and for all (even when facing off against this powerful new form).
Continuing their battle for survival in the series’ most recent installment, it’s revealed that Garou has quickly mastered every technique that Bang had been trying to keep concealed from him all along. However, a method that Bang has refused to utilize in the past because of what it signifies about his history may give him the advantage against Garou and allow him to defeat the latter. As the latest segment of the series delves deeper into Bang’s past, viewers are given a startling glimpse into what he was like as a young fighter in the process.
A new battle between Garou and Bang is depicted in Chapter 148 of the series. Garou develops a stance for the Fist of Exploding Heart, Liberation, which is revealed as a prohibited art that Bang had hidden away. A single reading of some scrolls for the technique had enabled Garou to pick up on it, and he had been able to repeat it within a short period after. However, now that Bang is aware of his talent, he knows that it is even more critical for him to halt his former student before launching even more dangerous strikes.
In a flashback, it is revealed that Bang used to be an arrogant thug who was responsible for sending many other combatants to the hospital. In his heart of hearts, he wanted to exploit his might for himself, but his brother Bang quickly corrected him by beating some sense into him.
Bang aspired to restructure his life due to his brother’s death, and he did so by opening a dojo, becoming a hero, and training exclusively in defensive arts to demonstrate to his brother that he could change.
Now that Bang is engaged in combat with a former student, Bang’s past has risen to the surface even more than it had previously done. As a result, it is even more critical to eliminate him from the picture once and for all. But, what were your thoughts on this glimpse into Bang’s past? Has the prospect of conquering Garou been lost to him?
