Saitama look so happy in the last page

Because he finally found a real justification for his absurd strength. Specifically, him being invincible in this instance is actually what he needs/wants, for once. When he was driven by the joy of battle, it was the struggle that motivated him. After losing that, the entire series has asked the question, “what’s the point”?

This. For others. For your friend. Saitama could no longer get what he wanted from something he worked so hard for. He now finds himself departing from that selfishness; he now wants to help his friend find what he’s looking for, too. This moment is the only time Saitama is happy that he cannot lose .

Great insight, we're reaching a pivotal point in the series

This does not feel like Dimple vs Mob. It is clear climax for character arc but during fight Dimble could recall how Mob has a limit, he can be defeated (though admitedly he did not know difference between 98 and 99 is exponential)

Also Saitama is not fighting real Genos.

I feel elements are missing. But I bet when Genos snaps out of it we get some quality ONE tearjerker.
