Only explanation needed for the chapter
Mob Psycho Universe - Thread Title Season 2
-
-
Okay, now thats a good joke and not Saitama killing Gouketsu off screen.
-
I think… i've seen villains looking that way before D:
I baptize you as BOM! xD
-
I want a rival like Hanazawa.
-
I want a rival like Hanazawa.
You like baldies?
Oh One, for sure you don't dissapoint, i could even enjoy your version with Bom of "Around the World in Eighty Days"
-
I didnt find Teru being bald again funny, I felt bad for him trying to bring Mob back to normal..
-
That's probably the whole point. It's just a call back to when he got wrecked before and had a shit personality. Now he lost his hair and looks pretty beaten up but he's actually a decent human being.
-
The scene reminded me of Luffy vs Bellamy 2: a retread of the original but leaving the reader with a complete different feeling despite de semi identical execution.
I liked it, quite a lot.
-
Tatsumaki may not be up to stopping Mob at this point. Chapter 100.7 broke new ground with the introduction of the Oden Tongs for Grabbing Customers' Heads. I'm sure they will be crucial to the resolution of this arc.
-
Mob is not going to stop until he arrives to his date, thats a given.
Not even the body improvement club or Reigen are going to talk him out of it.
-
I would assume this is when Keiju Mohawk comes back if it's truly the end of the series. Possibly even Dimple, but I think it would be too early for that.
-
When i was reading the president arc climax and saw Mob taking things easy, it was kinda a let-down.
Now One just gave everything i wanted in one chapter, tight!
-
This keeps going and I don't see much discussion around here. A shame, I think this is, so far, a pretty cool climax to the series. Maybe after Hanazawa's epic stand the other guys blocking Mob's way haven't been as stellar, but the way everyone's showing their growth as characters is pretty heartwarming.
And of course, next in line is…
-
I was sure Mob would have his power sealed and have a happy confession with Tsubomi. But now I think only the POWER OF LOVE will stop him.
-
Latest chapter 10.11 [hide]Wow, I didn't really expect that sort of straightforward way of dealing with ???%, but I really love it. Ritsu MVP here. Everything is really coming full circle, and if the manga keeps it up to the end, then it'll cement itself as one of my favorite series.[/hide]
-
Oh, i was the only one reading fast to end at the hundredth percent apparently xD
It felt like a good chapter of One Piece, nice and slow.
-
! Ritsu MVP, remembering the power transfer to Reigen and using it was pretty smart.
-
! Was that the power transfer? Wouldn't that have left Mob without power if that were the case? It seems to me more like Ritsu's emotion of actually wanting to understand and be a shoulder for his brother to lean on got him to 100%
-
I got the feeling that the ~90% buildup was actually Ritsu and not Mob.
-
Yeah we were fooled into thinking the % was Mob, it was ritsu all along. Mob's already at ???%, wouldn't have made sense for the percentage to be his.
They're tied by blood, it's sort of understandable that their powers work the same way.
-
That's the implication, yes. The meters represent a release of some pent up emotion, and in this case, it's Ritsu actually wanting to be strong enough that he can help his brother out
-
It looks like power transfer because mob and ??? still look like 2 separate entities and the 90% was still Mob's since he was panicking and all.
I mean i could be wrong but it doesn't really make sense for Ritsu to have that much power for no reason other than understand his brother and letting out his emotions too.
-
The power transfer happened last time with Reigen because Mob felt relieved that he could put his trust in him and felt relieved and gratitude. There's no indication that that's the emotion that Mob felt, but we can see that Ritsu is releasing a lot of pent up emotion, and Suzuki even thought about absorbing Mob's immense power as well.
The fundamental premise of the immense power that Mob has had is that he subconsciously seals off his power so as not to abuse it while also sealing off a majority of his emotions. It's also been a pretty big focus of the series of the disconnect between Mob and Ritsu due to the sheer power differential of ???% and Ritsu. It's not too far of a stretch that the distance they have as brothers also hampers Ritsu's psychic abilities and can also release a greater amount of power.
-
Ritsu?? Now super psychic power is a familiar thing?
Gotta ignore this development, after all, the journey is better than the conclusion. -
@Shobu:
Ritsu?? Now super psychic power is a familiar thing?
Gotta ignore this development, after all, the journey is better than the conclusion.Ritsu's had powers since the first Claw arc. Of course it's implied theres a genetic element there.

Only one guy could solve this mess !

This post is deleted!
-
Tsubomi is quite great, hope One next manga is called: Tsubomi no Bouken.
-
! Not a whole lot more to say, since we're still in the same scene, but things are getting more and more tense. Mob's internal struggle is such an interesting 'last battle' and just about everything I could have hoped for from this story.
! I'm also feeling vindicated on Tsubomi, since I had said something similar regarding why Mob really likes her a while back. She simply saw Mob as the sum of his parts, rather than anything extraordinary just for having a few psychic powers. -
I havent commented the recent chapters but I love how ??? is just a persona created by Mob. First he created it to supress his powers and later on even his emotions since he related both (keeping his powers in check by keeping his emotions in check too)
It sort of works like the time he transfered his powers to Reigen but at a much deeper level, to the point that part of his subsconscious has grown powerful enough to even swallow him.
-
Reigen t_t do not dieee, you're the best one here.
One's omake was hilarious, finally!
-
I almost shit my pants reading the latest chapter.
-
Reigen shot directly to my feels, what a wonderful supportive character.

Damn damn goood damn goood good damn good writing.
-
Goddamn, this manga is a fucking treasure. If we just get resolution chapters and that's it, then this'll go down as one of the best full manga experiences I've ever read through.
-
Damn. That's some high praise. I was trying to hold off and Anime watch it only. But now I'm feeling impatient.
Woo. I'm caught up now. Man. This was much deeper than I thought it was going to be. I'm very impressed. High praise well deserved.
-
Fantastic resolution. One of the best I've ever seen.
It's just so damned consistent. . .this is a fantastic manga, indeed.

Why is a "recently discovered friend for Naruto" conclusion in my Mob mango???
Reigen said the truth, still controls Mob, the fuck???
Don't know what you find great in this end, guys D:

It's an actually great cap to their series character arcs. Mob confronts his other side, and realizes that it's not something to defeat, but a part of him that he's neglected and hidden away under a mask. Reigen was the one who told Mob that his powers were just another part of himself, and set him on the path to crafting a new identity, so it's up to him to correct that way of thinking. He can't do that, though, until he confronts himself.
Reigen's always been a decent person hiding under a con, and while it may be transparent, and whether or not Mob may have seen through it a long time ago, Reigen never dropped it, himself. In a sense, the advice he gave Mob was the wisdom that he'd been living by: getting by by showing people the side of them he thought they wanted to see. He never had any real friends or motivation before Mob, because he always hid himself behind a mask of intellect and pretty words. Like Tsubomi acknowledged Mob for who he was, though, Mob had always accepted Reigen for who he was (a 'nice person' in his words). So Reigen drops the act, and allows Mob to drop his. They understand that both parts of their lives have their faults, and that both of them allowed them to meet each other and accomplish great things. They both grow by learning to accept themselves.
In the end, Tsubomi rejects Mob. She waited out the storm, because she wanted to treat Mob like another person, reaffirming the aspects of her character that left such an impact on Mob in the first place. And Mob, rejected, finally cries by himself. He doesn't let his emotions build to 100%, he lets himself experience them naturally, since he no longer fears himself. It's a sign of his growth, and shows us just how much he's changed from when he could only express himself with powerful psychic feats.
I don't know what 'Naruto' thing you're referencing. And Reigen doesn't control Mob, and really hasn't since the middle of the story. Remember that whole arc when Reigen overworks Mob and then Mob decides that Reigen doesn't control him and then Reigen learns a lot about himself and then Mob shows up and helps him not because he has to, but because he likes Reigen? Mob listens to Reigen out of respect, and it's respect that Reigen's earned because he's going through similar things, and has been helping Mob the entire time. So yeah, the ending is pretty good.
-
Awesomely explained, Wagomu.
I guess the "Naruto" thing is a reference to when Naruto had to face his inner self and ended up hugging him, I guess? Or the fact he ended up befriending the Nine Tails?
Anyways, we could say the entire manga is Mob's character arc. As a result, this is the best conclusion we could've had. Which makes me think. . .is anything left? I guess some resolution for everyone, but beyond that, Mob's arc is mostly done. . .right?
-
I feel like we were meant to get something with that other psychic who became a spirit?
Like he was released during the other arc and then just vanished and I assumed he had escaped and become a monster who would be like the final villain. But considering this arc i don't feel like we should get another arc after this, just some epilogue chapters.
-
It does feel pretty close to done. Villains converted. Mob more whole. Aliens seen. God status achieved. Truths told. It's pretty complete.
-
Do you think we can get 100 episodes of anime out of this, just for my OCD's sake?
-
Gotta say, the anime kinda put me off. It's weird to say this when you see the incredible animation and the care with which they're doing the adaptation, but…it's too damn hysterical. Too damn hyperactive. It's like the series is on steroids at.all.TIMES.
Mob Psycho is kinda low key. Yes, there's super powers and big fights and stuff, but at the end of the day, I think it should still be this low key story about a boy wanting to accept himself as he grows up.
Also, even on a purely comical aspect, Reigen, for example, works so much better in the manga, where you know he's bullshiting most of the times yet, strangely, he feels confident most of the times. In the anime I remember him sweating bullets at like every single scene. That's not ghe Reigen I know and love.

Split personality characters have been hugging themselves since long before Bill Shatner did it as Captain Kirk back in the sixties. I think that all that is left is a "where are they now" Animal House ending, with MOB and Saiki Kusuo rooming at a dormitory as college freshmen in Tokyo as the goldfish from Tokyo ESP swim around in the background.

Ah, nice for you.
I think that this end was pretty much, unnecessary. Everything that it would give a setting of character grow was in Dimple's arc for Mob. Where he for sure fought himself in an original way, thanks to the actual brainwash that Mob's image invoke on the people worshipping him at the cult, and then to the whole city.
But, Tsubomi and Reigen for sure it helped this finale… the problem is that the end wasn't focused on them, but the simplicity of their actions made me think: "Oh yea, these guys try their utmost for Mob, because they liked them, and in their own way".
My Naruto reference was for, more or less, classify an evangelization, where the psychic's awareness did nothing but advice him and dissapeared, pretty much useless to me. Just like Naruto... but for worst.
I only can applaude with what ONE did for Tsubomi, and Reigen fell a little to me, but still nice... all those enemies facing Mob before were part of the roller coaster, mere tools, don't even have to say a bad thing about "stuff" rather than "people".
-
If we ended at Dimple, then we don't get the resolution of every other character.
I think while Tsubomi and Reigen's resolutions are great, you're also overlooking that this is kind of a time to really see how everyone's changed in the Mob universe since the start of this series.
- Hanazawa's character progression, where originally he learned he learned that he's just a "commoner", we got to see him understanding his place respective to Mob's insane psychic prowess.
- The Claw member grunts show how they contribute to society and that they actually give a fuck about things that matter
- Basically wrapping up Suzuki's whole thing about abandoning his family and Suzuki and Shou get nice father-son bonding time
- Ritsu coming to an understanding about what he wants in his relationship with his brother
- Reigen coming clean about his lack of psychic powers
- Dimple returning
- Getting a resolution to how Tsubomi sees Mob in the most practical sense given what we've seen in the series
- And most importantly, Mob relative to himself
It wraps up literally every single principle character in the series (except maybe that one ghost psychic) and their relationship to Mob. It's not a great finale just because it resolves Reigen and Tsubomi. Basically every major character introduced in the series shows up not to actually stop Mob (because we as readers shouldn't have any expectation that they'd stop the storm) but so you can see their growth and wrap up their journey since we started reading the story. Dimple's arc was great for Dimple himself and was really needed when his whole schtick is "I wanna be a modern god", but it doesn't address things like Mob's other side. The fact that you end this arc with Mob in his normal persona actually crying is such a damn powerful wrap-up to the arc.
-
Not to mention that by showing all of that character growth, we also get to see the various bonds Mob has formed throughout the series and the impact that he's had on people, all thanks to both his humble self and his psychic powers, reaffirming what Reigen tells him in the end.

Thing is, ONE pretty much summarize what would supportive and antagonist characters do once their showtime was already concluded. Only Hanazawa, Reigen and Dimple are exceptions to continue looking up for them, but that's pretty much resolved in Dimple's arc.
If this end is great because it wrapped all the characters within one arc; then Bleach, Fairy Tail, Gintama, Naruto, and almost all series with an arc with a great amount of characters fighting their time to show their personality aside of knowing them before means that are great to masterpieces of series. Looking obviously from the prism where grow doesn't really lead to wellness. To me, characters matter, but worlds matter the more.
Mob's other side?? I mean, if this really means that "???" was the other part, and in an instant becomes an enemy, in a city where there is an outburst of psychics, and only the strongest of them gets the screentime to portray thoughts and feelings, from my PoV that's a bad thing. Much more when in the leisure arc that was made before (aliens) nothing of the sort was hinted from the beings that mastered psychic power.
This is completely something new that i don't want to categorize it as filler, because "shonen and power-up" come holding hands almost always, but it certainly looks that way.
ONE's forte is the simplicity, that's the key for Saitama' success for example. That work made in Tsubomi is what i really like about this arc, she got 4 to 6 panels where her toughness came to view her as someone really special. She didn't show too much, but worked great… and because of that, and what my thoughts are... i would put an "average" to classify this finale, i've seen it somewhere else, the characters were nice but topics such as civilization, powers and spirits were left behind... but still got the plus of the magnanimous Reigen and lastly Tsubomi ofc, Mob is just nice, all the hype wasted, but still nice to a shonen MC.
