He is also an outstanding proficient martial artist and a capable martial arts teacher, having taught Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to his former disciple Garou, who is also incredibly skilled in the art. Even among the S-Class, his presence is exceptional. This is shown in his fight with Garou, as when the Hero Hunter started using Exploding Heart Release Fist, his former martial art, Bang refused to use it, despite the fact that he was being forced into a corner and using it would give him an advantage.Īs the third-ranked S-Class hero, Bang is one of the most powerful heroes of the Hero Association. Nowadays, he seems to wish to leave his older self behind and forget it completely. However, after having been defeated by Bomb, he became humbled, focusing on developing his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist as a defensive martial art and opening up a dojo to follow in his brother's footsteps. His arrogance and malevolence grew to the point that he was fully intending on killing his older brother during their fight. He believed that his power was meant solely for enjoying himself, and was willing to fight whoever it took to make himself stronger.

Whereas his current martial art style focused on self-defense and redirecting opponent's attacks, Bang's past martial art style was geared toward destructive power, a reflection of his violent nature. He would go around challenging fighters who appeared strong and constantly put them in the hospital in order to grow stronger and prove his talent.

In his past, Bang was shown to be pompous, arrogant, and abrasive, very much like Garou. During their final confrontation, Bang laments how far the young man has fallen, and resolves to bring him around, and train him truly again. When meeting him face-to-face once again, Bang shows utter contempt for his fallen student, spitting that he has become nothing more than an animal. He fears for Garou's fate of becoming a monster, a process that seems irreversible. īang cares deeply for his former disciple, Garou. He has a sense of nobility and moral integrity, thus earning respect from the other heroes.

His unyieldingness to protect the citizens/civilians can be said as strategic importance in the world of heroes. Later, he invites Saitama and Genos to his dojo to try and recruit them to his dojo. After stating that he would not want the meteorite to fall on Z-City as it would erase his dojo, Bang quickly demonstrates his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, to Genos, only to realize that the cyborg had already left.

Perhaps due to losing all but one of his disciples to his former top disciple Garou (on top of his old age and his remaining disciple's incompetence), Bang is always eagerly looking for new disciples to succeed him. He is also disgusted at the negative and unhealthy hero culture of the Hero Association he reveals to Atomic Samurai in their fishing trip that the Hero Association has lost sight of its goal. Later, when his disciple Charanko confronts Saitama by praising his martial arts master's skill and hero rank, Bang scolds his disciple not to embarrass him and states outright that Saitama is many times stronger than he is. Additionally, when witnessing Tanktop Black Hole accuse Saitama of causing the civilians' misery, Bang watches from a distance sympathetically, but without interruption, noting that heroes have to take responsibility for their actions, and will normally have to deal with the lack of appreciation for their work. īang is also well-grounded in the ethics of heroism he accuses the other S-Class heroes of being heartless for ignoring the disaster in Z-City and attending to their own problems instead. Unlike most other heroes, Bang prefers to be called by his name rather than his hero alias 'Silver Fang'. His demeanor is normally calm, shown when he is seemingly unperturbed by the Dragon-level meteor falling on Z-City. Bang appears to have a serious personality, however his true personality is said to be surprisingly playful.
