#in before garou becomes a future tough hero fitness trainer the 'scary' way :P

[the-nysh]

Garou simply walked away from the fight and focused on protecting the kid from the monsters…is what metal bat should have done for Wangama’s sake…screw the anon who said Garou was a selfish person in that fight…Mb threw his kindness away, sucker attacked him from the back and almost took his life away. Like I said before. I really don’t like metal bat that much…

To be fair, that one ask was pretty much verbatim the kind of bad faith Garou takes you'd see on reddit (cause once again this ch Garou even tanks monster hits for Tareo's sake on his priority mission to keep him, and even the other civilian news helicopter, safe and far away from the battle. ;o;)

And to Metal Bat's credit, he is genuinely a good lad. Young (17), reckless, and prone to anger, that he gets a bit easily distracted and often carried away when he's just that pissed off. But it's not really something inherently or actively malicious I think, because it seems Metal Bat doesn't even realize (or is even really aware of) when he's doing it either (the guy has an intelligence score of 3/10 :'D) However when he's calm and rational, he is quite sharp and perceptive to discern what's up.(See the webcomic's Neo Hero arc when he rightly sensed something sinister going on and got captured for it.) Which means he has the potential to learn and reflect like any other growing teen, he just might be a tad slower (and need more direct information/instruction) to pick up the cues. He'll come around~

But if you want an annoyed, impatient Garou who now directly scolds & schools Metal Bat into being a better focused S Class hero, then here ya go:
