Saitama vs. Tatsumaki

Take it outside!'''

Saitama vs. Tatsumaki is the battle between Saitama and Tatsumaki, the second highest-ranking S-Class hero.

Prelude
In the underground of A-City Headquarters, after preventing Psykos from being abducted by Apollo, a member of Tsukuyomi, Tatsumaki decides to make Fubuki cut ties with the Blizzard Group. As she is about to punish members of the group in order to make sure that they will not bother Fubuki anymore, Tatsumaki is stopped by Saitama, who jumps in and tightly catches her hand.

Battle
Having been suddenly stopped by Saitama, Tatsumaki is frustrated and tells him to let go of her. When Saitama does not do so and instead asks her to calm down, Tatsumaki tries to send him flying with her telekinesis, although Saitama resists the ability before remarking that her power is not much different from Fubuki's. Provoked, Tatsumaki increases her psychic output in an attempt to get Saitama off her, which blasts through the wall behind him, causing great destruction. However, Tatsumaki is surprised to see that Saitama is withstanding her power, with him simply uttering that his muscles are twitching on their own. She then recognises Saitama as the one who was with Genos whilst Saitama tells Fubuki to escort the others to safety. Fubuki conforms to Saitama's request which prompts the elder sister to ask about their relationship. Saitama replies that he is merely an acquaintance before Tatsumaki proclaims she will find out soon enough if Saitama is worthy of hanging over Fubuki. The surroundings begin twisting due to Tatsumaki's psychic power and in response to this, Saitama tightly grasps her and by forcefully jumping, shoots himself out of the place and heads outside, taking Tatsumaki with him. The two of them crash onto the ground, located two kilometers to the northwest from the Hero Association HQ. Tatsumaki tries to get Saitama off her by flinging him around, although to no avail as he still tightly holds onto her wrist. The female esper blushingly asks Saitama if he likes her, to which he denies, simply saying he does not want her to run away and go around destroying houses again. When Tatsumaki angrily claims that she will not run away from Saitama, whom she considers weaker than herself, he finally lets go of her hand. Complimenting Saitama that he is a little bit strong, Tatsumaki strengthens her psychic output and finger-flicks his forehead, sending him flying backwards, stating that he will not die by just this. Saitama recovers his balance, looks at Tatsumaki, and is excited to see that after levitating a large number of surrounding rubble into the air, she has created a massive tornado out of thin air, the tornado swirling all of those rocks and rubble around. Tatsumaki begins throwing a volley of flying rocks toward Saitama, who, with one arm, deflects one of them away before jumping around the flying rocks in order to evade her onslaught. With the flying rocks missing their target and hitting the ground, they leave sizeable craters each. During this, a family car with three people inside happens to be nearby, on its way to the Hero Association headquarters. Being caught up in the fight, the car is about to be crushed by a boulder, but Saitama intercepts and smashes the boulder, saving the car and loudly telling Tatsumaki to pay attention to her surroundings to avoid collateral damage. Not wanting him to boss her around, Tatsumaki continues her onslaught on Saitama, who deflects multiple boulders thrown at him but to his surprise, he accidentally diverts a boulder in the direction of the family car. Saitama immediately runs towards the car to protect it but Tatsumaki saves the vehicle first by pulling it into the air, smugly mocking the Caped Baldy and telling him to watch his surroundings, as well.
