I love that Saitama is still salty about Tatsumaki sending Genos flying to a wall.
Also, Saitama's under the radar, big heroic moment.

Instead of yeeting her away when she was breaking up the entire foundation of HA and accidentally murdering all the people living above from building collapses and breaking her wrist in the process of flinging her away, he instead chose to just get her into bodily contact and cart her out of there. Because she didn't seem to give a damn. That she stopped using her psychic powers out of sheer shock and bewilderment was an added bonus.
Really, Saitama saved Tatsumaki from committing accidental mass slaughter with earthquake of greater magnitude than 6 and getting into far worse mess than she bargained for. Tatsu is a great hero, but she needs to be talked about causing far too much devastation in her wake, especially when she doesn't need to; she's perfectly capable of precision.
She doesn't need to show off to be feared. It's understandable that she does...but she needs to have a talk with a therapist.
She should be grateful too, because with all her issues, she's not thinking with her head.
Buildings collapsing during earthquakes is no joke. People get trapped beneath collapsing buildings all the time and it's why Japan especially where EQ's happen frequently, have to build buildings resistant to that sort of thing. HA is not that kind of building.
I know Metal Knight is ambiguous character at best, but he did do his work well...one just can never be prepared for overzealous OP psychic destroying everything at the base. One that is supposed to be on YOUR side too.
I feel sorry for the guy now, he's gonna get the blame again, nobody will trust him again and he could do so much good with his cybernetic technology in field of medicine, for instance.
In this, Saitama is again, showing his true heroism and his actual heroic intuition that he thinks he does not have and pulls the fight out of the danger zone before the structural integrity was too compromised and quite possibly, saved tons of lives doing so, without even harming anyone.
Shame he doesn't trust himself.
He's a real hero, through and through.
One could argue that he was too lenient on Tatsumaki and should've just knocked her out, but the moment he saw the structural integrity was being compromised, he sprung to action.
I can't do anything but commend Saitama for his quick thinking.
Knocking her out would've been fine, but the difficulty would've been to have the technique in the heat of the moment to pull it off without hurting her or inciting her even more. And it would not allow Tatsu to actually vent her issues and start healing from her childhood traumas since Saitama is apparently the appointed therapist. Saitama's approach allows her room to actually calm down without further violence.
