OVA
Description
Silver Fang, known as Bang, is an elderly martial arts master and S-Class Rank 3 hero, recognized as one of the Hero Association's most capable members. His hero ratings are Stamina 9, Intelligence 6, Justice 7, Endurance 9, Power 10, Popularity 7, Effectiveness 9, and Fighting Ability 9, totaling 66 points.
He developed and mastered the Exploding Heart Release Fist in his youth, a technique that synchronizes with heart pulses to explosively amplify striking power and surpass physical limits, later sealing it due to extreme destructiveness. Founding a martial arts dojo, he mentored numerous students, including the rogue warrior Garou, whom he expelled after Garou's violent tendencies escalated—an action acknowledged by Saitama.
Bang's signature fighting style is the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, which he created to blend offense and defense. It comprises four forms: Ryusui-jin (confined-space unarmed combat), Gasoshi (pinpoint strikes), Shunshinko (fluid movement), and Mikiri (internal limit negation for amplified prowess). He employs Awakening Breath, a stat-boosting technique drawing from his body's limits. His exceptional combat speed allows him to outpace falling spaceship debris and surprise Saitama. He generates craters with his strikes and has one-shot Dragon-level threats like Fist Fight Djinn.
Notable feats include battling the Dragon-level alien Melzargard: blocking its attacks, exploiting vital points to destroy regeneration orbs, and surviving a direct hit that embedded him in debris unharmed. During the Monster Association arc, he and his brother Bomb combined techniques to perform the Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist, forcibly molting Elder Centipede's durable carapace. This technique has limitations; neither brother can reuse it in the same fight due to age. Later, with a psychic enhancement from Fubuki alleviating age-related stiffness, they executed the stronger Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist, subduing Overgrown Rover.
He rescued Tanktop Master by kicking through the Dragon-level monster Gums and deflecting Fuhrer Ugly’s punches mid-air while carrying Tanktop Master. He parried attacks from Black Sperm’s clones while protecting allies. His durability is evidenced by enduring Elder Centipede’s corrosive gastric acid with minimal injury, a substance that incapacitated Genos. He possesses heightened perceptiveness described as a sixth sense, enabling combat without conventional senses. Despite his age, he maintains extraordinary stamina, claiming the ability to sprint tens of miles without fatigue.
His physicality shifts during intense combat; his musculature expands visibly with pronounced veins, contrasting his usual elderly appearance. Informally titled the "Greatest Treasure of Martial Arts," his relationships include mutual respect with Tatsumaki and consistent collaboration with his brother Bomb, whom he regards as one of the "greatest martial arts masters" alongside himself.
Confrontations with Garou evolved across encounters. Bang initially dominated Garou with the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. In their final battle, Garou utilized the Exploding Heart Release Fist against him. Bang refrained from deploying his former style to avoid exacerbating Garou’s monsterization, ultimately yielding ground.
