We know that Garou was trained by Bang, and that he can use the Water Stream
Rock Smashing Fist of this last, also we see him copying Tank Top Master and
Watch Dog Man techniques and style. But how about his own techniques? Does
Garou have some important techniques of his own?

Does Garou have some important techniques of his own?


He mostly adopts the styles of others, but he does take it to certain
extremes. For example, Bang and Bomb are able to combine their styles into a
special combination attack style. In chapter 69 of the webcomic Garou
eventually learns how to do this by himself, which is said to be a unique and
"impossible" achievement. So in that sense, that combination-but-solo style is
his own technique.

The name of the combination seems to be different in the webcomic versus
manga, but that may just be a translation issue, or possibly a (minor) change
in the canon. It's worth noting that exactly how and when he picks up this
combination style is different between the manga and webcomic.

Later on he goes a step further and declares that he has created his very own
technique/style. This was his own declaration while near the pinnacle of his
egoism, however, so it is to be considered debatable on whether he truly
achieved a unique technique/style or not.

However, the immediately preceding page does have a narrator line suggesting
his claim of a "new technique" is legitimate. This is in the sense that it
provides a list of twelve Martial arts styles he has absorbed through battle,
all of which this alleged new technique is definitely _not_ part of.

So from this I would conclude that, yes, he does eventually develop one unique
technique.
