theory Gods influence
So, I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it before but for some reason this just clicked in my brain. I saw someone talk about how this makes saitama seem like an inconsistent or a bad character but the truth is, there was just more to it. Since we can see the moon in this picture which is meant to be “god” it wouldn’t it make sense that it was “god” who made an illusion to Garou that Saitama really said what he said so that it gives garou more of a motive to get rid of saitama or even kill him since garou hasn’t actually killed anyone that I know in the series, especially humans. This could also be applied to other cases in the manga but I’d have to read through it. Lmk your thoughts

Saitama is still human. He has emotions, and honestly he's very vain. He cares about money. He's frugal. He's unemployed!
So when his house gets destroyed, he's about as angry as we've ever seen him.
Saitama isn't some enlightened bhudda. That doesn't make him a bad person.
About the serious punch², that wasn't Saitama almost obliterating the earth, it was Garou. Every serious punch before this was aimed away from the earth. Garou however redirected that energy ban towards the planet. Saitama for all his incredible godly strength wasn't anticipating that.
