When Shinra takes his turn to try and stop him Mob steps in to save him – but then is forced to stand down when Mogami starts destroying his host body. He’s a freakishly powerful bastard – if not this season’s big bad, then at least this arc’s – and he has no compunction about taking out humans. Sadly, common sense and steel balls are not going to slow down Mogami in the slightest. He’s not taken in by any of the tricks which bamboozle the psychics – he can spew bullshit with the best of them and he knows it when he sees it. Reigen has obvious character traits that make him a badass – balls of steel and an unshakable moral compass for starters – but there are times when his lack of spiritual power is a major benefit. There’s obviously money to be made here and he’s incredibly good at Janken, but once he’s in that room with the girl, he immediately sees through Mogami’s BS even as the psychics in the other room are taken in by it. First of all, once again Reigen shows his true colors because when things get serious, he gets serious.

He now finds himself in the body of Minori, staring through a two-way mirror into a room full of psychics brought in to evict him. He’s a sick and twisted soul, who engineered his own transformation into a vengeful spirit.
Mob has never heard of him, Reigen knows him by reputation, but Ekubo knows him intimately – he was a famous psychic of the late 20th-Century who exorcised Dimple and almost absorbed him fully. Most important of all, by far, is Mogami Keiji (unmistakably Ishida Akira). There’s the one who brings all these psychics and more together, the okanemochi Asagiri Masahi ( Hoshino Mitsuaki), desperate to find help for his 14 year-old daughter Minori ( M.A.O.) who he believes (quite rightly) is possessed by an evil spirit. Matsuo from CLAW turns up, trying to make an honest living as a psychic now but terrified of Mob (and Reigen). I suppose we can start with characters – there’s Jodou ( Tanzawa Teruyuki), the head of Shinra’s psychic’s association who’s probably a real psychic, but a bit of a paper tiger. I have so many notes, I hardly know where to begin. ONE’s writing has tremendous depth – his metaphor-driven take on adolescence here will surely go down as one of the finest in anime history – and when you pair that with the basically unparalleled production quality, the result is, well- Mob Psycho 100.
#SEKAI ONI X MOB PSCHO 100 SERIES#
And it’s truly one of the most exceptional staffs in TV anime history, animators and artists and designers who clearly love this series and want it to be the centerpiece of their artistic C.V. With Mob Psycho, part of the rush comes in knowing that Tachikawa Yuzuru and the team Bones has assembled are going to be unleashed. But there is a certain endorphin rush that happens with the shit really hits the fan and the limiters come off, and this episode was the first time this season we’ve seen that for an entire episode. As with so many great series in this oeuvre, like Hunter X Hunter for example, each facet of the jewel is critical for making it a priceless gem. It goes without saying that Mob Psycho 100 is a series with tremendous tonal versatility, and we’ve seen a good chunk of that range in the first four eps of this season. Wowzers, there was sure a lot to unpack in that one.
