Uh, don't forget that Saitama's normal punches are actually not meant to kill (in one punch that is) in general.

Saitama punched him after getting hit by Garo's barrage. Then ONE took the time to show FOUR pages (https://file-comic-2-2.anyacg.co/images/fd/38/fd3872896ff166d0ceaac1b6adb6724a0f0fee7b_223913_600_848.jpg, https://file-comic-2-2.anyacg.co/images/19/01/190186b3e3c7b70ecf1d9f249f5bb716809b92a6_507283_600_848.jpg , https://file-comic-2-2.anyacg.co/images/08/76/0876d871ddf25d6d011980b788f6ea2f155e1036_436990_600_848.jpg , https://file-comic-2-2.anyacg.co/images/f9/54/f954efd5514db65a5abc7f21e92205a31d96015b_146893_600_848.jpg) just to show the aftermath of that single punch. It is DEFINITELY not a punch Saitama would use on a human. Furthermore, on the 4th page, Saitama even says that Garo is sorta strong, maybe even very strong, but he knew that Garo is holding back. Saitama then shows genuine surprise when Garo is able to keep going, implying the punch/slam from before is not the same as the one he did on Hammerhead where he left the latter unscathed.

Saitama's not a complete idiot. He knows that Garo is beyond the Class S heroes because he saw it literally right in front of him. He knows that the Class S can handle Dragon level threats; therefore, Garo > Dragons. Why would he throw a weaker "normal punch" on Garo than he would on Dragon level threats?

Even if for some reason Saitama used normal punches against Garo, surviving Consecutive Normal Punches twice, with the second time using two hands instead of one, is still an enormous feat.
