I created a full explanation of the theory in one post

I’ve been following the recent
[$GME](https://x.com/search?q=%24GME&src=cashtag_click)
activity, and a sequence of events is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

To be clear from the start:

This is a theory. It is NOT confirmation that Roaring Kitty is returning.

But when you put the pieces in chronological order, the similarities to 2024 are fascinating.

Here’s the full rabbit hole

1. THE 2024 PRECEDENT

On May 11, 2024, TSUKI launched and posted a Roaring Kitty-related meme at approximately 6:59 PM ET.

Roaring Kitty had been silent on X for almost three years.

Then, on May 12 at exactly 8:00 PM ET,
[u/TheRoaringKitty](https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty)
suddenly returned with the famous image of the gamer leaning forward in his chair.

The gap?

1 day, 1 hour and 1 minute.

The 8:00 PM May 12 Roaring Kitty post is independently documented; the 1-day/1-hour/1-minute TSUKI timing comes from the TSUKI community's archived timeline.

That coincidence is the reason people started watching TSUKI for potential Roaring Kitty breadcrumbs in the first place.

And now, more than two years later, something very similar may be happening again.

2. SEPTEMBER 2026: “HOMECOMING”

On September 6, TSUKI posted:

“Felinus Prime. Homecoming.”

At the time, it seemed like another cryptic TSUKI message.

Then things started happening around GameStop.

Between September 8 and September 10, several GameStop insiders purchased shares.

Lawrence Cheng bought 55,000 GME shares on September 8 at an average price of $18.7992.

James Grube bought 10,255 shares on September 9 at $19.12.

Alain Attal bought 5,000 shares on September 10 at $20.

And then Ryan Cohen made the big one:

1,000,000 GME shares at an average price of $20.3759, roughly $20.4 million.

Combined, that is roughly $21.7 million in insider buying.

Then on September 10, GameStop announced that select previously closed stores would begin reopening.

In other words:

Homecoming.

Again, this doesn't establish that TSUKI knew anything in advance.

But the timing got people's attention.

And then the clues became much more specific.

3. THE WIZARD

Before Keith Gill became known to millions as Roaring Kitty and DeepFuckingValue, he had another identity.

Mr. Wizard.

Keith was an extremely accomplished player of the card game Wizard.

The official Wizard community site lists:

“Keith Gill (Mr. Wizard), Brockton, MA”

and records him as the second person to achieve Air Wizard status and an inductee in the Wizard Hall of Fame.

This is not a random Roaring Kitty reference invented in 2026.

It is genuinely part of Keith Gill's pre-GME history.

And then TSUKI suddenly started pointing directly at it.

4. 855

TSUKI posted a Wizard-related image accompanied by one number:

855.

Why does that matter?

Researchers in the TSUKI community went back through the old Wizard forum and traced Keith Gill's Mr. Wizard profile to User ID 855.

So the theory became:

855 is the ID of Mr. Wizard, who is Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty.

But there was another layer.

September 13, 2026 was 855 days after TSUKI's May 11, 2024 launch.

September 14 was 855 days after Roaring Kitty's May 12, 2024 return to X.

That alone could still easily be deliberate numerology by the TSUKI account.

But then TSUKI went deeper.

5. THE OBSCURE 2013 QUOTE

TSUKI subsequently posted:

“Any player that can place higher than you in the Top 10 using two different usernames deserves laudation, not criticism.”

Why is that strange?

Because community researchers traced that sentence back to an obscure 2013 Wizard forum post attributed to Keith Gill, aka Mr. Wizard.

This isn't a famous Roaring Kitty quote.

It isn't from the Congressional hearing.

It isn't from YouTube.

It isn't one of the memes everyone knows.

It comes from his old Wizard card game life.

And the subject of the quote makes the clue even stranger:

One player using two different usernames.

Roaring Kitty.

DeepFuckingValue.

Two usernames.

One person.

Again: that interpretation is the theory, not proof of who controls TSUKI.

But whoever is constructing these clues appears to know some extremely obscure Keith Gill history.

6/ THEN THE OLD ACCOUNT “WAKES UP”

This is where the timeline becomes especially interesting.

After the Wizard/855 references began circulating, screenshots from the old Wizard community reportedly showed activity on the historical Mr. Wizard account associated with Keith Gill around September 16, with the activity timestamp subsequently changing again.

Before this, the account reportedly had not shown comparable visible activity since around 2020.

So think about the sequence:

TSUKI with Wizard card post

TSUKI mentions the number 855

855 is Keith Gill's old Mr. Wizard identity

TSUKI obscure 2013 Mr. Wizard quote

And then...

The old Mr. Wizard account apparently shows activity.

That is probably the single most interesting part of the current theory.

7. WHY 2024 MATTERS

This is the part I keep coming back to.

In May 2024, the sequence was essentially:

TSUKI appears with RK-related clue, then Roaring Kitty suddenly returns.

The TSUKI meme preceded his May 12 public return by the now-famous:

1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute.

Now, in 2026, we have another sequence:

TSUKI “Homecoming”

GameStop insiders buy \~$21.7M of GME

GameStop announces stores are coming back

TSUKI starts referencing “Wizard”

855

855 connects to Mr. Wizard

TSUKI resurrects an obscure Keith Gill Wizard quote

855 day anniversary of TSUKI / RK's 2024 return

Old Mr. Wizard account apparently shows activity

And meanwhile...

GME starts moving.

That's the pattern people are watching.

8. THE STOCK IS MOVING TOO

This isn't happening while GME is completely dead.

GME closed at $19.89 on September 9.

By September 17, it closed around $22.77.

That's roughly a 14.5% move in eight calendar days.

September 16: +2.5%

September 17: another +3.6%.

And GME finished September 17 near the high of the session.

That obviously does not mean Roaring Kitty is buying.

There are legitimate fundamental catalysts, including the insider purchases.

But it adds another piece to the setup.

9. AND THEN THE OPTIONS MARKET GETS INTERESTING

This is the newest piece.

On September 17, a newly listed:

GME Nov. 20, 2026 $25 Call

traded 1,872 contracts.

At the beginning of the session:

Open Interest = 0.

Total premium traded was approximately:

$223,000.

The average contract price was approximately:

$1.19.

Approximately 82% of the flow traded on the bid side.

At that point, I didn't know whether the huge volume represented meaningful new positioning or simply intraday trading.

So I waited for the next OI update.

Today we got it.

New OI: 1,590 contracts.

Starting OI:

0

Volume:

1,872

Next-day OI:

1,590

That's roughly 85% of the previous session's entire volume showing up as open interest.

That is important.

It tells us this wasn't simply thousands of contracts being flipped intraday.

A substantial position was actually created and remained open overnight.

10. IMPORTANT: THE OPTIONS FLOW DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN “SOMEONE BOUGHT 1,590 BULLISH CALLS.”

This distinction matters.

Around 82% of the volume traded near the bid.

That can indicate seller-initiated activity.

It could be:

a call sale,

part of a spread,

institutional positioning,

market-maker interaction,

or another multi-leg strategy.

Every open contract also necessarily has both a long and a short side.

So I am NOT claiming Roaring Kitty bought these calls.
But! It's a great way to stay under the radar and not give a big glowing clue

What we CAN say is this:

A brand new GME November $25 call went from:

0 OI to 1,590 OI in one session

after 1,872 contracts traded.

That is real position building.

And it happened in the middle of all of this.

11. THE OTHER DETAIL I FIND INTERESTING: IV HASN'T EXPLODED YET

The $25 Call was trading around 57% IV during the September 17 session.

After the OI update it was around 56%.

Compare that psychologically with May 2024.

Once Roaring Kitty publicly returned, the market immediately knew what was happening and GME implied volatility exploded.

His May 12, 2024 post was followed by an enormous GME move when the market opened Monday.

This time, if the theory is correct, we would theoretically still be in the breadcrumb stage, not the public-confirmation stage.

That's what makes the current options positioning interesting.

Not because it proves anything.

Because the market has not yet priced a confirmed Roaring Kitty return.

12. SO WHAT IS THE THEORY?

The theory is NOT:

“TSUKI posted 855, therefore Roaring Kitty is coming back.”

That's far too simplistic

The theory is that we're seeing a sequence that resembles the way the story developed before his previous return:

An account with a strange historical relationship to the RK story begins dropping increasingly specific clues.

Those clues move from generic cat/GME references...

to Keith Gill's obscure pre-Roaring-Kitty identity...

to his old nickname...

to his alleged forum user ID...

to a forgotten quote from more than a decade ago...

and then the historical account connected to that identity apparently becomes active.

At the same time:

GameStop insiders suddenly purchase approximately $21.7M of stock.

GME rises.

A newly created November options contract sees unusual activity.

And the next morning, 1,590 contracts of that position remain open.

One coincidence?

Easy to dismiss.

Two?

Still easy.

But this is why people are watching the sequence, not any individual clue.

I've seen enough to say this:

The setup is interesting.

The 2024 precedent exists.

The Wizard references are real.

Keith Gill really was Mr. Wizard.

The 855 clue has a historical connection being circulated by researchers.

The old account activity is worth monitoring.

GME is moving.

And now we have actual options positioning rather than just social-media riddles.

So...

Is Roaring Kitty coming back?

I don't know.

But if this is another game of breadcrumbs, somebody wants people to start looking.
