I figured I would also upload this too, but here’s the inside covers and all the bonus pages from the final volume of Mob Psycho 100!
The last image says “Because of you, I was able to change.”
So the spirit copies someone you trust. For Tome that was Reigen. For Reigen that was Mob…
And for the spirit possessing Reigen (Rusty) that was becoming Reigen, because you can see his head forming from the Mimic spirit. Which is sad but expected, as it means the few nice words and promises Reigen gave Rusty to trick it were the best it ever heard, side no other face appears on Mimic.

i think the reason why tome’s arc in s3 eps 7&8 is so blindly gorgeous isn’t just because of the amazing animation, but also because tome desperately wanted to know that she wasn’t alone in the universe and she felt like she was running out of time. then she learns that’s she’s NOT alone in the universe, because she’s surrounded by people who love her and want to support her passions, and that there is always time for the things we love.
and then she actually discovers aliens and just fucking kicks it with them all night
i love how reigen specifically picks on mob for being gullible and for letting himself be used by others – which is a BOLD MOVE for someone who is lying to and using him, but it’s such a realistic character trait that reveals so much of his inner turmoil. he resents how easy it’s been to use mob, he wishes mob would make things easier for his OWN conscience by calling him out on it, and of course he’s full of self-disgust over how he’s been taking advantage of mob’s good nature. he could alleviate the guilt by being honest, but he thinks that their relationship will end the moment he does, so he’d rather force mob’s hand than have to confess himself. and part of mob’s reluctance to accept the obvious truth – that reigen has been lying to him – has to be some shame over realizing that he bought the lie, hook line and sinker, for years! so hearing reigen constantly belittle him for being gullible? ouch! reigen is inadvertently pushing mob deeper into repression.
reigen: i want to be famous and powerful and respected but not for who i am as a person, only so my talents are recognized and make people happy along the way. but i dont actually believe in my own talents even if they prove successful and i have zero self esteem because ive literally just been winging it my whole life to the point where i dont know who the real me is anymore and all thats left is the persona ive accidentally let take my place. and im so scared that all of this could come crumbling down at any moment so i just have to keep pretending like i know what im doing
dimple, immortal fart ghost who might as well not exist, who tried so hard to build a network of positive human connections so he wouldnt be lonely anymore but failed because the only way he knows how to do anything is through spooky ghost possession, looking at this super loud n charismatic dude winning at life by doing nothing: i fucking hate you
something like ‘time won’t make you someone. it’ll kill you first’
