a few reasons why this may not work. in the webcomic a few members of the hero association hinted alluded to having actually met Blast. The members indicated that he/she needed free reign on an assignment. Doesn't seem likely that a phantom would have such demands.

ANother reason is that, from a storytelling standpoint, having Blast be Saitama would be extremely anti-climactic especially since the joke is that King gets Saitama's credit. Re-using that idea onto a highly anticipated character is not something I'd expect from the author.
