However if Saten used to be a scientist for Simeon quite a few years have past since he last saw Blade&Eve. And more importantly he would expect Blade to have both Doppleganger and Zero. Blade didn't have Doppleganger so Satan assumed he was a fake/imposter but seemingly there was still a bit of doubt in his mind since he lied to Arclight about knowing Blade's name. Of course Imai Kami isn't going to let Saten say "OMFG! Isn't that Adam Blade!?" right from the start. But he did give us another more subtle hint. It wasn't untill chapter 20(page 20/21) Saten managed to figure it out. He had a sudden spark of insight and what did he do when he had this idea? He takes hold of Eve's chin and closely stares at her face....and is shocked! Afterwards he's "going easy on her" when smacking her. All of this is a good indication he knows her from the past. You don't go stare people in the face like that unless you try to recognize them. If he used to know Eve from way back when she was young it's only logical he had to take a good look at her. And to me that means he was a scientist working for Simeon and was looking for confirmence of his theory by trying to recognize her. Btw. Saten apparently has Doppleganger so his true age is irrelevant. He can make himself look old, young and everything in between. His age has always been a secret and isn't mentioned in any character descriptions of him.
