Anyone think Blast might be Orochi, the monster king?

A persistant problem for Saitama has been his depression over his inability to grow stronger. He's already the strongest, so he has nobody to learn from.

Now what if blast, as the first person to break their limiters, was also the first person to discover the use of "monster cells", and turned himself into Orochi in an attempt to push his limits even further? it would explain both Blast's dissapearence, and the sudden appearence of the world's strongest monster.

His past as a human would explain his willingness to give other strong humans the chance to join him as monsters instead of simply killing them, as every other natural monster we've seen has. Indeed, the only monsters we've seen offer others the chance to become monsters through the cells were those who were previously human- and Orochi.
