In Season 1 the chat was rickrolled every time Saitama spoke. His old Discord name was “akshastley”, a Rick Astley pun, and Kart said they got rickrolled with every message. On 4 December 2021 kira noted that “akshastley became” Saitama 1, and Kart rejoiced: “finnally we wont get rick rolled every time he sends a msg” 2.
The meme did not die with the name. In November Kart described it as “rickrolling the server” 3, and prop was making Rick Astley edits of members’ faces, announcing “im taking requests on free rick astley pics” 4.
