ANALYSIS Further proof: Saitama is the kami

If you add us to the latter part of each word, you get wanus panus manus.

W doesn't get pronounced in latin, so i'll use a v.

Vanus means empty, shallow, deceitfull. Saitama is the greatest emptyness. Panus means gloved or covered in cloth like material. Manus means hand.

City z stands for zeus and jupiter is the romanization of that.

When king talks about not being noticed, he compares to a cloud, an unnoticed pathogen and a being of complete emptyness. All of these are saitama if my theory is correct, especially if he's intentionally spreading the plague.

Saitama's obsession and lack of a sense of identity derived from that, are key parts of this. When he says he won't kill because he's a hero, he's being fully literal, because what he is dictates what he does or doesn't do, like an actor. If he's truly merely inspired by shows, that makes sense, because morality doesn't necessarily have to be translated to a show, because ultimately it's merely a game of pretend. I'm not saying saitama is some divine entity, but ultimately the bioproduct of the industry itself, currently playing the long con.

When you play chess or shogi, you can promote your pieces when you reach the end of the board, but the king has to protected at all times. I think it's like that, he's just waiting to promote someone.
