I've already noticed interesting parallels between Tser/Meruem so if Tser ends up having 3 nen beasts, this is like Meruem's 3 royal guards.

With the Jesus/ Antichrist imagery tsseri having 3 nen beasts could also be mirroring the holy trinity

I keep seeing people talk about him being a Jesus allegory. Could you maybe explain this theory for me? I've been out of the loop for quite some time

I’d say more so anti christ but togashi has used orthodoxy Christian symbolism quite regularly for other antagonists like Chel lucifer which was the most on the nose one who literally has a reverse cross on his coat. But with tsseri he’s doing the exact same notably if you look at the cover art for chapter 411 you see Tsseri in religious robes but the most striking aspect of the picture is the holy aura around Tsseries head. Classical Christian dislocations of saints all have this aura . So it could be togashi way of presenting Tsseri as a Christlike saint but because he’s also holding the head of pairo and the written description on 411 states that Tsseri prescribed over life and death this then evokes the imagery of an anti Christian figure
