And then Saitama casually obliterates Gouketsu (off-screen no less), just like nearly every opponent he faces. When Saitama goes to face him alone, Suiryu begs him not to go, and when Saitama leaves, Suriyu curses himself for not being able to stop his savior from meeting certain death. Genos, one of the few people who knows Saitama's real strength, says he sensed an unfathomable amount of power from Gouketsu in their short fight, similar to Saitama, and believes only a quick ambush by Saitama and the S-Class heroes could safely defeat him. He beats Genos, martial arts champion Suiryu and a monsterized Bakuzan without even trying. Anti-Climax Boss: Gouketsu gets a lot of build-up in the Super Fight Arc.Angst? What Angst?: Saitama is pretty unfazed by the unwarranted hate mail he gets.Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Saitama's "being a hero is just my hobby" thing him playing off a genuine desire to help as I Was Just Passing Through, or does he genuinely not care about the big picture as long as he gets the immediate gratification of fighting a monster and saving the day? He's clearly a decent person in many respects, but it's possible to read the setting as a Crapsack World and Saitama as someone who genuinely doesn't really think or care about the horrific damage wrecked by the constant monster attacks he faces as long as he gets good fights out of it.
