History Fanfic / GhoulHunter

* BareFistedMonk: To the amazement and skepticism of all the investigators from CCG, as Garou is capable of killing Ghouls without needing a Quinque. That being said, Garou starts learning Kendo while attending the Ghoul Investigator Training Academy and can skillfully use Ui's [[BladeOnAStick Taruhi]], despite having [[InstantExpert no experience beforehand]], with lethal precision against the Ghouls of Route 14 in chapter 10.

* EveryoneHasStandards: It says a lot that '''Arima''', who's described to be "sadistic and massive" by Sui Ishida, [[spoiler:despite revealing to be a [[BeneathTheMask lie]] in '':Re'']], is ''disturbed'' by the amount of carnage and brutality that Garou is capable of and rather '''[[BloodKnight eagerly]]''' able to inflict onto the Ghouls of Aogiri Tree.

* TrainingFromHell: Garou's daily training consists of this, to the point where [[WorldsBestWarrior Arima]] was left astonished from getting his Quinque broken and a scratch on his cheek so easily in his brief scuffle against the latter despite his own inhuman speed and reflexes.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Time and time again, everyone remarks on how Garou is capable of such superhuman feats despite being a "human". It's usually brought up by the characters in-universe, with some thinking he was a Ghoul after his first CurbStompBattle against both Jason and the Binge Eater, but only for that idea to be shot down since he doesn't have a Quinque, trigger the Rc Scan Gates set to high sensitivity nor even possessing any RC cells in his body. {{Justified|Trope}} since the only ones capable of SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness, SuperReflexes, and SuperSenses in the [[CrapsackWorld bleak setting]] of the series are the Ghouls, Half-Ghouls, and [[spoiler:Half-Humans]].

* BadassNormal: Like all the other Doves, Amon is human but is able to hold his own against most ghouls.

* OddFriendship: Considering Garou's personality and his interaction with the characters living in a CrapsackWorld, any friendship he makes would be considered odd, but two notable examples are best shown in his interactions with Amon Koutarou and Suzuya Juuzou; the former is a strict, [[SeriousBusiness no-nonsense]] ByTheBookCop while the later is a slightly [[AxCrazy unhinged]], [[NoSocialSkills socially inept]] PsychopathicManchild.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Since the story is framed from the perspective of Garou and the human characters, all of the morally dubious, pragmatic nature, and sociopathic tendencies of their methods seen from the [[SympatheticPOV sympathetic point-of-view of the Ghouls]] are seen as heroic and necessary from the Humans in order to keep the peace.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Since the story is framed from the perspective of Garou and the human characters, all of the morally dubious and pragmatic nature of their methods from the sympathetic point-of-view of the Ghouls are justified as heroic and necessary in order to keep the peace.

* TheBerserker: Amon is a very skilled fighter, but he often flies into a rage in battle thus making him a very dangerous foe.

* LighterAndSofter: Compare to the PsychologicalHorror of the original manga, the fanfic focuses more on the action and battle aspects.

* OddFriendship: Considering Garou's personality and his interaction with the characters living in a CrapsackWorld, any friendship he makes would be considered odd.
* TallPoppySyndrome: Much like with Arima, Garou's good looks, intelligence, superhuman physical prowess and fighting skills leads him into being admired by many other students in the CCG Investigator Training Academy and some of the veteran Investigators (such as Koori) being [[DrivenByEnvy driven by envy]].

* TrainingFromHell: Garou's daily training consists of this, to the point where Arima was left astonished from getting his Quinque broken and a scratch on his cheek so easily in his brief scuffle against the latter despite his own inhuman speed and reflexes.

* TheObiwan: He serves as this to Garou, making sure that the latter doesn't become too much of a MilitaryMaverick and is trying to guide him to be a respectful investigator.

* TallPoppySyndrome: Much like with Arima, Garou's superhuman physical prowess and fighting skills leave him being admired by many other students in the CCG Investigator Training Academy and some of the veteran Investigators being [[DrivenByEnvy driven by envy]].

* CurbStompBattle: He dishes these out a lot in the TG universe.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Time and time again, everyone remarks on how Garou is capable of such superhuman feats despite being a "human". It's usually brought up by the characters in-universe, with some thinking he was a Ghoul after his first CurbStompBattle against both Jason and the Binge Eater, but only for that idea to be shot down since he doesn't have a Quinque, trigger the Rc Scan Gates set to high sensitivity nor even possessing any RC cells in his body. {{Justified|Trope}} since the only ones capable of SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness, SuperReflexes, and SuperSenses in the [[CrapsackWorld bleak setting]] of the series are the Ghouls, Half-Ghouls, [[spoiler:Half-Humans]], and [[WorldsStrongestMan Iwao Kuroiwa and his son]].

* FaceOfAThug: Garou tends to give this vibe towards others for his scary-looking "demon" face. Although subverted at times as he's considered quite handsome.

* MusclesAreMeaningful: Investigators like Amon, Shinohara, and Kuroiwa are such examples as muscular strength and endurance are vital to a human being able to fight a Ghoul, and focuses on keeping their bodies in peak condition. It's played with, however, since all of their physical prowess pales in comparison to Garou.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Played With. While Garou is extremely muscular, he doesn't possess the same larger frame as Amon, Shinohara, or even Kuroiwa despite his superior strength and agility. Considering the setting of the TG universe being radically different in logic and realism compare to the OPM universe, it's justified. That being said, it's still played straight as he surpasses all ''three'' of them for being able to easily kill Ghouls with his bare hands.

* TrainingFromHell: Garou's daily training consists of this, to the point where Arima was left astonished from getting his Quinque broken and a scratch on his cheek so easily in his brief scuffle against the latter.

* AntiHero: Garou's currently part of the CCG, an organization that's formed to suppress the ghoul population, meaning that whenever he faces a Ghoul, he ''will'' attack and kill them with [[RapidCop extreme]] [[PoliceBrutality prejudice]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Garou is this to ''every'' human character in the ''TG'' world, with many of the CCG staff believes him that he can surpass ''Arima'', who's the [[WorldsBestWarrior strongest CCG investigator]]. Hell, even Arima ''himself'' admits that Garou surpassed him in every way after their brief [[spoiler:one-sided]] scuffle in chapter 4.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Time and time again, everyone remarks on how Garou is capable of such superhuman feats despite being a "human". {{Justified|Trope}} since the only ones capable of SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness, SuperReflexes, and SuperSenses in the [[CrapsackWorld bleak setting]] of the series are the Ghouls, Half-Ghouls, [[spoiler:Half-Humans]], and [[WorldsStrongestMan Iwao Kuroiwa and his son]].

* TallPoppySyndrome

* ChickMagnet: It didn't take too long for Garou to become this in the academy for his physical prowess, intelligence, and a perfect record for killing Ghouls without any casualties. By chapter 9, he had already by gain the affections of [[ActionGirl Hairu Ihei]] and even [[LadyOfWar Kiyoko Aura]]. [[CluelessChickMagnet Of course, he's quite oblivious to this sort of attention]].
