ONE's humour is quite good like that.
Although I think that it's the first time that someone believes that Saitama has vast amounts of power, rather than underestimating him, or questioning why he was there. Putting aside the whole one punch thing, anyway.
Question is, why didn't Fubuki push him out of the way with her telekinetic powers? You'd think that she wouldn't want his body to smash up the group's car, seeing as they spent a lot of time and money to buy one in the first place.

"I'm just an acquaintance!" Two panels of Fubuki looking utterly distraught.
That might just be the most brutal punch Saitama has ever delivered. And it's got some steep competition.

He doesn't even need one punch any more. Zero punch man strikes again.
I just realized Saitama's wearing crocs.
Tatsu's about to get her ass beat by a man wearing crocs.
I also like how she aggressively ships Saitama and Fubuki, but for ego reasons. Like. She's written this whole fanfic in her head about how Saitama is desperately trying to resist the immeasurably powerful Tatsumaki to protect his beloved. But actually Saitama's just infinity powerful and doesn't see this as any different from that altercation with Headphones Guy earlier.

I am surprised that she is concocting that whole thing, instead of just being confused, though. There doesn't seem to be much of a reason for her to do that in the first place, except her not being familiar with someone resisting her psychic powers before. You'd expect she would just ignore him.
The logic chain makes sense to me.
For the sake of her ego, she sees Saitama as making a hopeless, self-sacrificing last stand, throwing his life into oblivion all for Fubuki. And then she's extrapolating from there as to how much he must care for Fubuki, to throw his life away on a fool's endeavor like this.
But actually this is just Tuesday for Saitama. Another jerk, another punch.

It's classic ONE humour.

On the contrary, that's exactly what he got. The problem was that he was all worked up to fight the monster, before it was instantly pulverised by someone/someone.

Welp, dropping this series now. 0/10 I can't believe Murata ruined this series completely.
Hitokiri in the streets, daishouri in the sheets.

The rest, I do agree with you, though. Fubuki is hardly a weak psychic on her own, and while she might not be able to crack open the floor to the same degree, making a small hole that Saitama could escape from shouldn't be beyond her.
Maybe it's one of those things that might make better sense in hindsight?
