Having lived in Japan for 3 years and experiencing a lot of their culture, I've learned that the reason anime characters yell their attacks is because it promotes a fair, honest fight. Japanese people love friendly rivalries, and the only way to truly prove yourself better than your opponent is to give them every advantage and still come out victorious. Only a truly bad person would try to sneak in for an attack and catch their opponent unprepared. And that won't settle any rivalry, even if they won the fight.
Plus, yelling your attacks just sounds cool.
One punch man then is very rude when he kills the opponent mid-speech?
He just matches whatever he's facing. Usually he has the decency to say he's gonna finish them off with Consecutive Normal Punches, or pretend like he's also going for a finishing move like Serious Series: Serious Punch.
Many times he doesn't even try and end a challenge with a punch, it's more of a "move out of my way" smack because his mind is elsewhere.
It's not even that is it? He's constantly pulling punches because he doesn't want to destroy everything in a general direction, something that even Tatsumaki didn't think about.
Nah, even japanese are tired of gloating villains now. And it's kinda funny to just cut them off.
