It’s very late but I’m thinking about all the things in ch 100 of mp100 that hit me sk fucking hard. One of them is this fucking scene. shigeo literally missed his buddy Dimple so much that even when he believed he didn’t need anybody he still accidentally made his Friend Exist Again. And like staring that fact in the face literally makes it impossible for Shigeo to keep convincing himself he wants to be alone. the fact that Dimple is the only character who ever appears inside the headspace because it’s him that finally gets through to Shigeo. by virtue of understanding this side of him in a way many others don’t or haven’t up until now. Because he knows Shigeo just wants to be seen and hes like “reigen wants to see You” and it finally clicks for shigeo that. Oh. he does. And I’m so ururgrhgr

Like are you serious. They’re bffs forever 😭😭 werewolf ripping shirt off image

AND SECONDLY. THIS.

reigen realizing he was confronting a fundamental aspect of Mob he’d been overlooking the whole time. IN THIS WAY. How he’s way out of his depth with this because he knows his put on persona would only make things worse.

And I love this manga scene because it’s so. ITS SO. Reigen is so vulnerable in a way he usually isn’t. So many layers this moment in particular that the anime just doesn’t do justice for IMO. The powerlessness and uncertainty. Recognizing that Shigeo will not ensure his safety or protection. A display of vulnerability as he steps outside of his usual persona, ‘killing’ the version of himself he presents to Mob. The very metaphorical suicide of it all. But he’s willing to let all that happen if it means getting through to him and hrhrgr

Little Ritsu is adorable in the anime but nothing can beat his manga design

Look at that thing. He is just like a baby bird in that awkward teenage phase when they're still developing their species' iconic traits. Cherish him.

at this point im gonna need people to start citing sources when they go on that "ohhhh ritsu doesnt like teru he thinks he's annoying" thing because i have watched this anime like 7 times and read through the entire manga 3-4 times and read every omake and anthology and ova and can conclusively say i have seen absolutely 0 evidence for ritsu having any negative opinions about teru whatsoever past their first meeting and not liking his fashion sense. all of their onscreen interactions in the main source material after literally the first ever time they meet are positive, they hang out a lot in extracanon material with no issue, and reigen goes out of his way to invite ritsu along when trying to set up a fun beach vacation for teru, which he would not do if they didnt get along (and one of reigen's primary skills is reading people so he would know if that was the case). i sincerely cannot imagine a reason people think ritsu dislikes teru outside weird fanon telephone.

i had really hoped that the addition to confession arc of ritsu rescuing him and giving him his jakcet would have killed this weird fanonization of their relationship but no. its 2025 and i still see people asserting this. revisit source material. please. i beg.

Maybe I'll make this as a proper post with manga caps at some point but watching Reigen fall apart over the course of the manga!Asagiri basement scene is so brutal. he starts off completely in control, pleased with himself because he dominated everyone else at the rock-paper-scissors and saw through Mogami's ruse when none of the other psychics did, completely in his element.

And when Mogami reveals himself, it's dramatic, it's scary, but it's just another evil spirit, right? They've dealt with those before! And after Mogami stalls for a while, letting the other psychics try their stupid attempts at exorcism, he gets another win when his jumping knee strike is able to knock Mogami's spirit out of Jodo. At this point things are scary, but his mask is still up. He still has the veneer of control.

But then Mob's exorcism fails. Reigen didn't know this was possible; Mob has always been able to do everything he asked of him. This is the point where he realizes what kind of danger they're actually in, when his mask starts slipping.

And then the other psychics hatch their murderous plan, and Reigen doesn't even try to talk them out of it. Reigen, who has never lost a proper argument in his life, immediately knows that these people cannot be reasoned with. He's frozen, because none of his tools work anymore. Because they took something he did, using a physical attack to knock a spirit out of a body, and extrapolated it to the extreme, and now they're trying to kill a teenage girl.

Reigen believes in society. Reigen believes in the duty of adults to protect children and the duty of adults to act like adults. As long as people believe in responsibility, even if they're shirking it at the moment, as long as they believe in the tenets of society, Reigen can talk his way out of anything. But here he's speechless.

It's Shinra who tries, who steps up and says no even though it's obvious that he can't succeed, who puts his body in the way of this horrific plan and as a result takes a blow that would have been fatal if mp100 was just a tiny bit less kind.

And Reigen can't do anything.

And then it's after Shinra goes down that he slams his mask back on, because he has a new goal. He can't salvage this situation and he can't save himself and he couldn't save Shinra, but maybe he can save his kid. And so he says hey Mob, the thing you need to do is go and get help. It's going to be fine. Don't worry about the rest of us, Mob. Don't worry about me.

we get a mob ova announcement but no trailer and we all expect it to be the reigen manga then its a weird live action movie where we get the sad desaturated backstory of all the ultimate 5 and then at the end of the movie they suddenly start quipping like it's a marvel movie and shimazaki's like "we should come up with a team name" and shibata goes "i dont know about names when im with you guys i feel ultimate" and shimazaki goes "...say that again" and then the words ULT5MATE flash onscreen. studio bones disbands and the rights to mob psycho get sold to walmart who the releases a series where theyre all babies going on adventures and solving mysteries on walmart+ before being unceremoniously cancelled and taken off the platform
