In chapter 155 of One-Punch Man, Garou performs a feat which has been calced and accepted at 6-C. Currently, the only characters that scale to this feat are Flashy Flash and Platinum Sperm. Awakening Breath Bang should also scale to this, as he was seen taking hits from and damaging the same Garou that preformed the feat (Chapter 148, pages 11-15).
Some Common Arguments Against This:
Some Common Arguments Against This:
This argument doesn't really make any sense, as the only other instance we see of Garou fighting in his sleep (Chapter 126, pages 20-25), the only notable change in his fighting was his muscle coordination (Chapter 126, page 33).
Now you may say to yourself, "Muscle coordination could include power," but this isn't the case, as when comparing Garou's performance against Darkshine from when he was sleeping to when he was awake, this is proven wrong. Prior to waking up, Garou was unable to deal any damage to Darkshine (Chapter 126, pages 20-21). After waking up, Garou was still unable damage Darkshine (Chapter 126, pages 31-32). Darkshine's face in the bottom panel of page 32 is not proof of damage, as he is moreso just shocked that he just got skillstomped.
Therefore, Garou's "muscle coordination" is referring to his ability to use Martial Arts, more specifically the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, as seen on pages 28 and 29 after stating that he wasn't a "pretty sight" in his sleep.

There is no proof that Garou got stronger in between fighting Bang and doing the 6-C feat. A common point used to back up this argument is that Garou was able to grow in 0.013 seconds during his fight with Platinum Sperm (Chapter 156, pages 14-15). This does not make any sense, as whenever Garou grows it is usually directly stated or made clear. This never happened in Chapter 154 after fighting Bang.
While talking to Garou, Gyoro Gyoro even states that the reason Garou is able to grow so much is due to him surviving near death experiences and other types of stress (Chapter 92, pages 3-9). This is proven over and over, as shown in his fight with Bang and Bomb (Chapter 83, page 56. Chapter 84, page 1-39), his fights with Royal Ripper (Chapter 88, page 58. Chapter 90, pages 33-39), and much more. These conditions were not met in his fight with Bang, so it makes no sense to say that he grew. It's completely baseless.
Another common point used to back up this argument is that Bomb was shocked upon seeing Garou's actions once he woke up (Chapter 154, page 20). Not only is this not enough proof that Garou grew, but Bomb wasn't even reacting to Garou's strength. He was reacting to Fuhrer Ugly's sudden death despite him being in the middle of an attack (Chapter 154, pages 17-19).
