We all know how in episode 1 of the anime
Are these incidents not considered genuine bursts of his emotions or just put there purely for comedic purposes.Even if it was so, it shows that he is capable of feeling human emotions even after he became the "One punch Man" which completely negates what he said in episode 1.What do u guys think?

It’s not literal. He is just bored, so it takes more to get an emotional reaction out of him than a typical person

The main thing he can’t feel is excitement, specifically the thrill of battle. It’s kind of like becoming too OP in a video game and just wandering the overworld, defeating everyone who you run into. If anything, his outbursts could be seen as a side effect of his constant boredom/lack of excitement.

in none of these does he say in battle and I quote he said "in exchange for power maybe I have lost something that's essential for a human being"

The whole show is about saitama slowly (and hilariously) making friends and interacting more with people, which helps bring him out of his shell. He starts off alone and disillusioned because nothing poses a challenge and by the end of season two has friends and acquaintances he does care about. I don’t think he literally meant he gave up his emotions, he was perhaps disillusioned for a while.

Fear, tension, joy and anger within the context of a fight is what he means in the displayed snippet; iirc, that was the scene he got jumped by the car monster before he one shot it.

I mean he was probably just being edgy about his situation, and it’s not like his emotions are locked so his new experience’s probably are helping him be more in tune with his emotions.

It’s not literal. It’s more like he’s bored, not like he can’t feel emotions. He doesn’t really find most things worth doing since nothing really affects him. But when
he was angry and didn’t just brush it off. He got all serious for pretty much the first time

The anger he expresses throughout the anime might just empty anger; as in, he might have such a reaction because all he really is is empty inside; but, that’s just a theory of mine. I somewhat relate to him in that aspect.
