Heroism is a virtue. It's non-consequential ethics. What matters is not the act's consequences but the attempt. So if you try and fail you are still heroic. And if you try and easily succeed, you are still heroic.
What Saitama wants is to be that brave superhero who battles on against impossible odds. And that's what he doesn't get to have, he's so strong there's no suspense or risk or challenge. He doesn't really mind people not acknowledging him as a hero because he doesn't consider himself heroic when he's not taking any risk in the first place. The people he respects aren't the strong heroes, they're the ones like Licenseless Rider who know they're overmatched and fight to protect people anyway. He's not being patronizing when he tells Rider "good fight", that's just the way he views being a hero. So he'd far prefer people talk shit about him than have them disrespect the heroism of all the heroes who actually risked themselves before he got there.
Saitama isn't exactly a commentary on the more invincible versions of Superman, but he easily could be. If winning is as easy as crushing an ant, you're hardly going to feel heroic in doing so.
I agree with this, but I also want to call out.
When he started off, he was "weaker" than Mumen Rider, and still risked his own life against a monster to save that kid. Which is probably part of the reason he isn't being patronizing when he said that. He does literally know how Mumen feels and respects him for that. Saitama needs to take him on as a second pupil, I bet his training regimen would help!
He also kind of shows off his own heroism, in the fact he doesn't care if he is labeled a cheat and a villain, he is still going to protect people. Most of the other people in the association would not make that sacrifice, especially the ones at the top.
Gvzbgul;
I would say if the act has absolutely zero risk, it is not heroic. You are not doing anything that should not be expected of you. Saitama taking half a second to punch a monster to death that is trying to eat a child is not heroic, because there is absolutely zero cost to him for doing it. It is a good and just action, it makes him a good and unselfish person, but for him not heroic.

I mean, a big question the whole series raises is "What does it mean to be a hero?" and I think that's great.
Aside from the absolutely hilarious commentary it provides.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

My favorite part of Saitama's character is that he has absolutely no idea how he got so powerful. I disagree that his training regimen would help Mumen Rider. As Genos points out early on, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 10 Km a day isn't even that crazy of a regimen!
Saitama is utterly confused as to why everyone else in the world isn't as powerful as he is, and it's AWESOME.

They actually explain it eventually
Basically, everyone has a built in biological limit to how powerful they can become. S Rank heroes have a very high limit
Saitama's limit was very low. But through sheer force of will, he continues training beyond the limits of what he should be capable of, and in doing so he broke his natural limit. Now there's literally no ceiling on how powerful he can become
it kind of weirds me out that saitama really doesn't care about any feedback re: fanmail, positive or negative
like
if someone writes you a thank you note you could at least be a bit psyched about it
well
as shown in the meteor episode
he isn't a hero because he wants other peoples' acclaim
he does it for his own self-satisfaction
Really he does it because he's a good guy, I think
He probably wouldn't really recognise that in himself, but you do see it at times. Like when he just cheerfully remarks to Genos that power levels don't matter because when heroes run away there's no-one left to protect people (and Genos, bless him, immediately inscribes the words of the great Saitama for posterity). He doesn't really care about negative fan-mail because whatever, and positive fan mail is nice but he doesn't need his ego flattering. Mumen Rider finding him and them having some food together and being buddies is nice, though.
There's a lot to say that Saitama is a very Buddha-like figure. Thoughtlessly wise, takes joy in the smallest of things, doesn't get mad about stuff besides annoyance at mundane little trivialities that usually arise from his own forgetfulness and he's not really upset at. Incomparably powerful, lives a totally normal life. Has a devoted follower who is utterly loyal to him and his teachings, and isn't even sure why this guy thinks he's worth hanging around.
well that's kind of what i meant
like, his self-satisfaction is in doing good things, so while it would be nice to be recognized it's not primary to his self-worth. there's a chinese phrase used in response to "who would know?" in response to ethical problems (like finding a lost wallet, seeing someone skimming goods, etc) that translates to "the heavens would know, the earth would know, I would know". that's kind of along the lines of how I think Saitama views things; as long as he knows he did good then he doesn't care too much about how other people view it.
you see a lot of heroes in OPM that only care about looking cool/good to the public, but you see Mumen Rider and Saitama standing out from that kind of behavior.

I'd take issue with that, there's plenty of people in real life who we call heroes who don't risk their life and limb to help others. Maybe that's an issue of people using the word 'hero' too freely though.

Captain B.A.'s squad/siblings went on a survival retreat and took his girlfriend along. She's in plate armor for protection and can skin a wild boar to the bone in seconds.
Cyborg Eye brother trained a squad of raptors and made them armor out of the arm of B.A.'s girlfriend's armor.
B.A. just walked into a lake because his squadmate/brother Tank was off his meds again....or on his meds again because he turned up the dial on his aggression juice.
The nice thing about having smart people as protagonists is that they can put two and two together a lot quicker and save the readers some frustration.
“On the topic of dogs, a passing priest once pressed me quite fervently on the subject of my own mortality. He was very concerned about preserving the nature of my immortal essence after the four great elements of my body collapsed into themselves. “Grandson,” said I, “I am old and my bones are sopping with death already. Why should I care?” He went on to describe in great detail the rituals that could be undertaken to guard one’s soul against degradation and ensure smooth passage to the next realm.
“Do you perform these rites every day?” I asked him, trying to humor him. “Of course, auntie,” said the priest, “Every morning before I wake fully I perform my rites, then four more times a day before rest. It keeps me in good health and spirits, knowing that my death will be a golden door to paradise.”
“Four times a day?” I said, incredulous. “Of course,” said the priest, “Don’t you think about dying, auntie? You should be worried, at your age.”
“Do you think about dying?” I asked him. “How about before sleep?”
“Yes,” he said, seeing that I was clearly straining his good nature. “How about when you bathe?” I asked him. He thought a moment. “Well, sometimes,” he replied. “How about when you shit?” I said. “Never,” he said brusquely.
“Not even once?”
“Well maybe once, but I don’t see the point! Who knows?” he said, clearly seeking to draw away from me and peddle his wares onto more the more gullible trash that populated the gutter. “A dog has more sense than you,” I said to him, and thumbed at a lazy mutt that was picking through the market. “He doesn’t think of death at all. Not when he sleeps, not when he bathes, and certainly not when he shits.”
“And I supposed there’s a point,” said the priest.
