Having God influence Garou, especially in such a strong manner, is certainly a questionable decision, but it could go well if done right, I still have my doubts though.
Regardless, I think almost literally everyone can agree that this is far better than pre-redraw. Keeping at least some of Garou's dignity and consistency here is better than making him an absolute clown, even if it's rushing God a bit. Still, I'm kinda hyped to see this Garou's feats. Unless God's amp here really isn't that massive, I'm hoping for something ground breaking. Saitama is going to get serious in one of the coming chapters, that's something I'm certain of.
Also, this is confirmation that the previous Garou was Awakened. It said "Awakened Garou, Cosmic Fear Mode", meaning he was already awakened, but this is a different state (or "mode") of Awakened Garou. I think the name Cosmic Fear Mode sounds kinda silly, but it probably sounds better in Japanese, in all fairness.
Pretty sure this Garou dogs on Boros, btw.
