I'm by no means a fan of Saiko's character & support your complaints about it.

But i'm not sure if i'm in my right here. I've labeled Saiko as a character that doesn't belong in this environment & with that everything this story revolves around. She's someone who blows herself out of the picture everytime she does that otaku imitation-thing. Which is the most prominent reason for me to not enjoy her character much. But that doesn't mean she doesn't actually fit in the story. I'm sure lots of people enjoy her even more after this, because it's a big shout-out to Otakudom & them not being as incompetent as the cliche has us believe.

Shouldn't she be more serious? Yes, definitly, but who knows that might be something that Urie says to her constantly. It's like we're giving Saiko a lecture on how to properly behave in certain situation, but in reality i'm sure there's plenty others who wouldn't behave as we'd expect from them.

You have a point that there isn't a place & that she doesn't consistently resort to this behaviour. It might be the fact that every responsibility fell onto her shoulders, demanding her to take on an identity of a leader-figure. Or the character-imitation helps her focus on the task at hand when there's no other leader-figure around anymore she can rely on. There's many reasons possible for that.

Once again true, but this over the top Shonen-like behaviour, presents a nice way for her to get a reality-check and solve a problem by herself & not by relying on playing the superhero.

My preference would be for Saiko to this over the top act, but have the constant devastating pressure of the situation looming over her, making for inconsistenties in her characterplay. Adding facial expressions off doubt & anxiousness inbetween her imitation of a superhero.
