Wait, you're telling me that not only Saito and Midoriya look alike, but got the same taste in t-shirts, too?!
EDIT: Just for those who was confused, I had to do a double take, too, yes. This is NOT Izuku. This is Saitou. This scene was shown as Himiko was remembering him again during this chapter. He doesn't have freckles and his hair is slightly shorter.

Theory: Saito found out how to give demons a body
and also how Saito is connected to the other characters of the PLAN
There is one thing in the seraph of the end universe that had been bothering ever since Saito was first introduced.
He has very special powers, he can transform his body into smoke and chains. And yet he seems to have a physically body. It's explained with magical experiments. But I don't buy that.
We learn during the light novels that Saito used to be a vampire. But he doesn't have vampire ears anymore. Ok, he said he did surgeries. But most of all, he doesn't have a thirst of blood anymore. Because his body isn't as physical as a vampire.
So, if we consider that it's an in world rule that alle vampires turn to demons when the loose all their blood. Doesn't it make sense that Saito at one point turned a demon? Demons usually don't have physical forms to begin with. This would explain why he doesn't have a real body anymore. And that would explain that he lost his thirst for blood.
But let's get over the hints that match up with this theory. And one of the key elements here is:
Mahiru
We know that Mahiru willingly became first a vampire and then a demon. To get a vampire she had to get to the vampire city to get the blood from a noble. As she lays meets up with Saito after she became a vampire it's valid to assume Saito tons her how to get there in the first place. But how did she know how to bargain with krul? Mahiru must have known about Kruls connection to Asuramaru and about Yuu and Mika. She could not have known this from Asuramaru as he had lot his memory at that point. So the other possibility is that Saito told her. He helped her get to the vampire city and on top told her how to make the deal with Krul.
Speaking of Asuramaru, if there wasn't a way to turn demons back human or give them at least a physical form, her whole deal with Krul would be meaningless we Asuramaru is already a demon. Assuming that Saito is not the kind to make false promises, he might know a way.
The other factor is that Mahiru did all this because she knew she could become the demon inside Guren's sword. And as she now came out of the sword and on top now seems to have a physical body. It is possible that she only did it because she already knew back then that she would be able to "come back" at least to get back a body.
The other key element is
Shikama Doji
His whole deal of possessing the Hiragi family and especially possessing Shinoa was to find a suitable vessel because he didn't have a body for a very long time. And it was said that he would need a vessel to materialize himself.
And then now, he gets captured by Saito and poof he's got a physical body. That's kind of odd isn't it? If Saito knew how to give demons a body, then this would make a lot more sense.
Because wasn't this the whole idea that Shikama doesn't have a body? And now he's perfectly pinned down with sinful keys in the real world and even drove by car.
The sinful keys
Maybe the sinful keys have something to do with it. Saito stored one in Mahiru in resurrection at nineteen. And she is the only demon that obtained a human body until now.
But apart from that we have only seen sinful keys being used to destroy bodys. As Guren, Mahiru and Noya did to Saitos body. And how they threatened to do something similar to Shinoa as Shikama's vessel.
Saito at least had enough keys to have been able to use them earlier to create himself a body. But that's just speculation.
Also the sinful keys are necessary for the resurrection. Is it because they can create bodies? That raises the question: why can the keys create bodies or at least repair bodies for all human kind but only manages to create one Mika? Where's the balance here?
Speaking of
Mika...
Mika seemed to have obtained a physical form by now. How that happened isn't explained or even mentoined. It seems like he's similar to Mahiru. In the end, Yuu seem to have to power to give Mika a physical form after they formed a contract. But strangely Yuu doesn't have a sinful key. Though he has some seraph powers that were established in the story. Did these powers help to give Mika a body? Or was Saito involved as well as he pulled Shikama from that realm about the same time?
What does this all have to do with the PLAN?
Saito is without doubt one of the main string pullers. He had been the reason Guren and Mahiru met in the first place, he arranged everything so that the catastrophe could happen exactly like it did. And he had been trying to surpass Shikama for thousands of years. By changing small details in Shikama's plans, he made thing going his way.
Yet Saito admits that his "creations" have surpassed him. It's fair to assume he's referring to Ferid and Guren who made their own deal. It's strange how Saito didn't notice or maybe he let both of them pass because it would come in handy for him against Shikama?
Nevertheless, most of his connections are only able to be explainable if he promised them something that some other characters can't give them. And for me it's the way if turning demons back.
