One-Punch Man's forty-seventh chapter, "Technique," sees Garou drop his restraint to dismantle Tanktop Master and his disciples, revealing his identity before Bang and Bomb arrive to find a battered Charanko amid the wreckage.
Summary
Tanktop Master keeps the upper hand as his brawl with Garou drags on, yet something about the hunter nags at him, an ominous edge that pushes his gut to end the fight for good. Mumen Rider intervenes, arguing the young man has absorbed punishment enough, and despite his siblings' objections the strongman relents, letting the cyclist warn Garou off hunting heroes. Garou refuses to abandon his course.
When the fight resumes, Garou stops holding back and overwhelms Tanktop Master with practiced skill, then discloses who he really is. As he turns on the Tank Topper disciples, neither Tanktop Master nor Mumen Rider can withstand his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, and the students who rush him fare no better. Charanko makes one hopeless stand at the end. Bang and Bomb reach the aftermath too late, and the sight of a beaten Charanko fills Bang with bitter resentment.
Key Events
Tanktop Master dominates the early exchange but grows suspicious of Garou. Mumen Rider halts the beating and warns Garou to stop hunting heroes, which he rejects. Garou fights seriously, defeats Tanktop Master, and reveals his identity. The disciples fall to his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Charanko intervenes in vain, and Bang and Bomb arrive after the mayhem.
