honestly sadder this exchange got cut




"What are you?"
"No idea."

e: tho the anime added the bit of Mob blasting off his uniform jacket in a way that looks like a dark aura coming off of him which really rules

I think that exchange where she says she'll make sure he'll never get a job and he says "so what" is better than just her threatening bodily harm. Has the implication that Mob no longer cares about what happens to him.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
There's not really a big reveal moment exactly, it's all just the little bits they tell you. I mean you can figure it out from where we are. When Mogami is ganked it's spirits that come out, because that's what he drew his power from. All the spirits that he collected in his life. When Mob is ganked, ??? comes out. So....what does Mob draw his power from?

Speaking of big reveals, the Reigen manga updated again.

This time, Tome discovered the roots of Reigen's success.

At the very end of the story, when you pretty much already know. It's not like it's some big thing the story deals with, you are done by the time it comes up. He makes his case and Mob goes "Yeah it's fine, I got this" and that's that.

Anime only thing I noticed right away for obvious reasons but in the ED Sho gets to appear as a friend in the chibi artwork. If people read into it more they'd probably figure out that he's a good kid and it's a fakeout :v:

Should I tag this in the manga thread?

I can't tell if you've read the manga since this is your first post here but perceptive anime watchers might have figured out that Sho is good, since Sho is in the OP, getting saved by Sakurai and attacking a Bad Lookin Type Dude

Nah, I've read the series to the end as it was coming out. Just never got around to posting here.

And intro could be seen in a few ways since Sakurai *is* a member of claw and all. I just feel like him getting a chibi is the biggest hint that Sho's a alright kid.
Will say a lot of the inbetween on this arc is super muddy to me as the lead up wasn't super interesting (that I can remember) but I am looking forward to the way the big fight ends as it's one of my favorite moments from the manga for whatever reason.

Now I'm wondering how they are going to handle this arc I imagine the final episode is going to be the final fight and epilogue so chapter 90(which is over 100 pages) and 91. Which leaves them 4 episodes to adapt 13ish chapters.

I'm pretty sure they're ending at the end of the CLAW arc.

I mean the issue is there isn't *enough* content for 12 episode season 3 IIRC? So people are thinking maybe OVA or movie.

That's what I meant the final fight against CLAW boss is chapter 90 and 91 is the epilogue to the CLAW arc. Sorry for the confusion

Looking it up I think they could make a season 3 work or maybe just OVA?

Cause they have to adapt 12 chapters, but the final chapter in the Divine tree is over 100 pages long, so is the single chapter aliens arc, the final arc is just 100.1 and 100.2, but they are both over 100 pages.

Granted page count could not mean much in adapting something and I'm looking too much into this.

I guess I just don't think all that equals twelve episodes? Unless it's a shorter like six episode season? some show must have done that. or maybe more of how season 1 ended with originial content + adapting that reigen manga? I did forget the aliens tho lmao.

with how much they've used the mob holding the flower, broccoli imagery and set it up, i'm sure they'll adapt it all, im just dying to know how. maybe the season ends with the reveal of the divine tree then

I feel like it's gonna happen, chapter 91 is the epilogue for the CLAW arc and it ends with saying the divine tree's influence is spreading.

I wonder how people are gonna react to having the situation immediately diffused at the beginning of the next episode. It wasn’t a cliffhanger in the manga, Dimple calms Mob down on the next page. Even though he was kinda bullshitting at that moment, he was right in the end.

I guess “relief” is what most watchers will feel.

What loving masterful animation on this episode. Something as simple at the % counter moving at the end left me speechless. Anime is so cool.

Glad that tsunami-Chan is getting a little bit of screen time too, her character might become really interesting by the end of this.

That really is the thing. Mob psycho has enough plot for about 2 and a half seasons, because mob is already almost completely 99% grown up by the time he finishes off the claw boss. Everything after that is mob helping his friends find closure and new jobs.
