Silver Fang took Garou in his dojo and trained him the "Water Stream Rock" style of martial arts. As a child, Garou rooted for villains instead of heroes and took out almost every student in the dojo to demonstrate his power. Silver Fang had no choice, but to exile Garou from his dojo as the latter learned different martial arts styles to increase his power.

It is unknown how Lord Boros will come back to life in the season 2 of the anime.
Lastly is Amai Mask is the ranked one hero in the A-Class and also works as an actor and singer. Amai Mask believes that heroes should be a perfect example to the public and if the heroes cannot protect them, they must strive to be stronger.
However, underneath his popularity lies a darker personality as he believes that "evil" should be exterminated quickly as he mercilessly killed the capture crew of the Dark Matter Thieves without giving it a second thought.
Amai Mask also mocked the rest of the S-Class heroes for their "failure" in saving City A and statetd that the only reason he stayed as number one in the A-Class because he believes that those who are worthy of an S-class shoud get it and he will decides if the hero is worthy enough to earn the title. Amai Mask will have an interest in Saitama and will likely uncover the secret of his powers and use on his own purposes in season 2, MovieNewsGuide reported.
