Basically recontextualizing the NPI feat wherein saitama moved the portals, using the POV of one who literally has the universe as a wiki. Through his eyes we see that saitama warps reality.
first, lets understand what garou should be capable of.
As established with this panel right here, garou at that point in time has gained info of the why's and how's that got to do with the universe and so understands how everything operates and why it works.
One look at blast's abilities for example and garou immediately perfectly copies them. He sees what blast does and instantly understands how the energies/forces behave and flow to create the powers.
Behavior and flows of said forces/energies that appear and exist within the OPM universe; phenomenon that at the end of the day, behave and flow a certain way, seemingly following a set of rules, rules that garou can follow and copy, and are part of reality, of which garou knows everything about. Now here's what I find intriguing about this...
What does garou see? What is he seeing that he can't understand? Based on what garou should be capable of, he SHOULD be seeing the flows of energy and the behavior of the forces involved. But he isn't and doesn't understand what is happening because if he was able to he wouldn't be confused and should be able to replicate it.
so we have garou with all the knowledge of the universe, unable to comprehend what saitama did.
What I'm getting at here is that what saitama did literally SHOULDN"T have been possible in-universe. that whatever saitama did, it didn't involve him manipulating energy or the forces of the universe, and doing something else entirely. something beyond what is possible within the OPM universe, something that can't be understood nor physically quantified based on anything on their reality, Something... truly alien.
Here's a redundant illustration.
Additional notes: It basically re-contextualizes any feat of saitama's that would normally be considered impossible or illogical based on our understanding of how the universe works, into something that is completely within saitama's ability to act upon physically.
