Which left a mile-wide hole in the mountain behind, no less. This anime is goddamn awesome, even though the pace somewhat slowed down compared to ep1 :3
Technically speaking, if that's just air pressure then Genos' head would be also blown off in an explosion due to many, many layers of air being broken instantaneously. Explanation: the mass of air displaced by movement depends on some things: the surface area of moving object, the speed of the moving object and the mass of the object. Moving a mass generates resistance by the air displaced, and this translates to the air passing the object's momentum almost everywhere in form of air streams. So if Saitama's punch can gouge a line like that, obviously the nearest object from impact point will get the highest force applied to it by the air displacement. Only by anime physics or Saitama's mastery over his power Genos is still intact.
Both of the manga didn't have that. He only stopped his punch short, some dust flew around and that was it.
Well, to be fair, it's hard to see whether that giant cloud of dust was the mountain, but it looks like there's an impact mark on the right of the image, so animated version was exaggerated a bit. If there's such thing as exaggeration when we're speaking of OPM :3

Agreed with that, and for that huge amount of air is strange that Genos is not incinerated with their own heat, like burning coal in a barbecue when you blow up the fire rise up on the coal.

That's cause if you look at the location the dust starts, it appears that Saitama punched, then stepped in front of the shockwave to protect Genos.
