They Sit and Talk: Stain and Garou

[The Dog]

So, two men with the title "Hero Killer", Stain (My Hero Academia) and Garou (One Punch Man), decide to sit and talk actions, philosophies, and whatever crosses their minds. How does the talk go down, and would they decide to become a "Hero Killer" tag team?

I don't think that they'd get along that well.

Garou's goals are more self-serving than Stain's and he lacks the same absolute conviction that Stain has (IIRC Garou hasn't actually killed anybody while Stain's body count is in the double digits).

On the flip side, Garou can probably pick up that Stain is just nuts and not somebody you actually want to listen to. But like others I think he'd admire certain aspects of Stain's personality.

Yeah, Garo is actually just really in denial about being a good person at heart, which makes him pretty useless to have a philosophical conversation about the ethics of heroism. I've also never seen him called "Hero Killer," but "Hero Hunter." This could just be from different translations, but since he hasn't actually killed anyone that certainly feels more apt. Well, outside of a really awful monster or two.

In a meeting between the two, Garo would just find an excuse to put Stain in the hospital, just like he did to the villains and monsters who wanted to team up with him. Stain might have similar inclinations, based on his similar reaction to an invite from villains, but Garo is so far above his paygrade he wouldn't stand a chance. Even if Stain got some of his blood by some miracle, Garo has already beaten out poison in his veins and high end telekinesis trying to stop him in place. He'd break that spell before Stain could land a kill shot and cripple the guy.
