@Ohheythere Savitar's identity wasn't built up for an entire season, it was only built up for 5 episodes (Wrath of Savitat -I know who you are) Nope, it was built up all season. We knew someone had to be under the helmet from the beginning. No, there was no evidence that there was someone under the helmet or that there even was a helmet till episode 15, Savitar having a secret identity only became a plot point after episode 15, before which there was every reason to believe that Savitar was just some kind of speed diety. Just because you guessed Savitar having a secret identity in episode 6, doesn't mean the writers built it up for that long.
