Mob Psycho 100 (モブサイコ１００)

Full-color animation character designers of Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama and Arataka Reigen, featured in Spoon.2Di Vol. 21 (Amazon US | eBay), illustrated by character designer Yoshimichi Kameda (亀田祥倫).

The thing that’s so ridiculous about fans infantilizing Mob is I feel like they’re losing sight of one of the most important elements of the series. Mob’s explosions are not him being taken over by someone else, he isn’t being possessed, these are the result of him being pushed too far with his emotions. Granted we still don’t know what ???% is (I honestly thought it was his subconscious but who knows), but his explosions are actually part of him. This isn’t like when Naruto would slip and get taken over by the Kyuubi. This is him hitting a boiling point. What Mob needs is self control and help with restraining himself in a healthier way as repression does not work. That’s literally why he went to Reigen and what his entire character arc is based around. And people come across like they’re missing this when they’re all “pwecious smol babu who needs to be hidden from harsh reality”.

heres all the character profile omakes for easy access

that it thats the post

ONE is the master of omakes. Every single one makes me laugh.

I find it really wonderful and comforting that Mob Psycho 100 is so inherently optimistic, even though its main message, “you are not special” sounds so mean at face-value. Being special means that something matters more than something else of the same category. Being special at baking? Great! Being special at math? Super! Being special at bodybuilding? Neat! Having so many people have such unique special abilities is what makes the world work. But having a special ability doesn’t mean that someone who doesn't match your special ability matters less than you. You can't be special for simply existing, because that would mean someone else isn't. You aren't special because you inherently matter.

cant stop thinking abt how ONE talks about teru. me about my ocs if im being honest
