That's right... I came here to save someone.

I don't know if this has been said before but in the first episode of season 2, I hope that the way Mob put together the pieces if Emi's novel made her realise how he understood and read it well, that putting it together was as easy as putting together a jigzaw puzzle he's been playing for years. Sure, he has psychic powers, but they probably flew so beautifully in the air because Mob himself knew exactly where to place them. Or am I delusional

The Most Pointless Mob Psycho 100 S2ep3 Rant Ever

warning: there’s a bit of spoilers here

Hello hello it’s me again, Holy~

So I’ve been binging Mob Psycho 100, because everyone started suddenly talking about it, and being the nosey bitch that I am…. I needed to get to it. So, of course I did. I spent about an hour writing this. I wanted to get this right. Especially since I felt some if the parallels lined up with my personal life experiences. So, it’s time to cut the cake.

*note, stuff that can be casually skipped over, will be written in orange

Damn this episode was a doozy.

Season 2 Episode 3: One Danger After Another ~Degeneracy~

I love Reigan. I really, really fucking love Reigan. He cares for Mob and is honestly a good mentor to him, although he himself is shady. He is seen as the one who is emotionally shaping, and raising Mob. I have issues with the way Reigan has been going about it though; and I don’t feel like that’s an unfair accusation. Like, sure, during the first season, he goes from lightly manipulating Mob, to taking notice of the effect of the actions he is making Mob take. Now in the second season, it seems as though he has now acknowledged that whether he wanted to or not, Mob has come to take his words as law; and Reigan is now a father figure to him. Here is the growth path it seems to be going down in my opinion. Now, I’m just speculating, but this season’s going to be a huge awakening for Reigan, to the fact that he has probably been the unconscious catalyst for a considerable amount of emotional turmoil to Shigeo’s adolescence . It’s almost laughable how Dimple can see it before Reigan. Yes, it may be because of underhanded motives, but to be fair, isn’t Reigan also using underhanded tactics? On the other hand though, I also see Reigan starting to become more honest; even if he doesn’t stop scamming. (Come on, we all know Reigan is stupidly good at cons; we love a bad bitch okay? Girl boss??) But I don’t see this season going further than this aspect regarding Reigan.

Mob on the other hand, I believe he has learned something about himself, each time he has exploded.

So, a little backstory. Once upon a time there was a little girl back in the 90s, who was diagnosed in the early days of mental health awareness, with ADHD; and eventually ended up with a final diagnosis 20 years later, of bipolar and schizophrenia, Trust me when I say, it took YEARS for me stabilize, with medicine. It was hard, scary, and way too much to have to deal with through my adolescent years; and I had a good, caring support system. Okay, end of flashback (phew).

This season has eerily similar undertones to the struggles I had faced, okay, scratch that; it’s screaming in my face; the similarities are quaking, alright? The most ironic thing I can say about this is, it’s fucking puberty my guys! Right now Mob is what? 14/15? That’s a really sensitive age for kids. Not to mention, imagine having the unfortunate issue of WHEN you reach emotional overload, you black out, and destroy things. Many mental illnesses come with loss of memory to outbursts, and even black out rages or mental breaks. When I was a child, I’d get so emotionally stressed where I’d sort of “go to sleep,” and it’d end with me “coming to” with myself, or others hurt; sometimes both. Mob is essentially experiencing that.

Mob is dealing with his emotions getting bigger, as he’s starting to try to be PART of the world now. He’s still desperately trying to keep control in the way he was taught: bottle it up. He went from trying to deny himself it felt like. Almost as if he didn’t consider himself as… anything. Almost feeling unfortunately born, but not wishing to leave the loose support system he does have. Everything he has learned about being a good person, unfortunately came from Reigan. Let me make this clear, I’m not shitting on Reigan. I actually love him. THEREFORE, being honest, I have to also fault him. I will give him back his points though for the following reason:

I think, being at the age where I would have children, I feel Reigan’s rule of don’t fight humans, is the smartest option for Shigeo. Think about it; at the end of episode 3, what did he say? “If I were to ever use my power to eradicate a person, is there anyone who would be able to stop me?” That’s a pretty heavy thing to have to think of around 14 years old. Mob is struggling emotionally this season. I can already see him having a breakdown. I hate to just bluntly say this, but I just have a bad feeling on episode 3, that is just steadily growing more gnawing. I feel like Shigeo starting to voice his opinion, and slowly learning to make his own boundaries and realizing his own morals, is also becoming his “undoing” of sorts. Acknowledging and learning about your emotions, and how to healthily cope with them, is honestly probably the most irresponsible to think a 14 year old to manage perfectly. Therefore, requiring a 14 year old boy to deal with situations where he has to make permanent decisions by himself (think the family of ghosts and whether to exorcise them “for the customers.”), is asking for way too much. I for one, think its super fucked up that he has to even think for one second about something like this, over his FOURTEEN YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY FEELINGS. (Thanks a fucking lot REIGAN).

I have a lot of hope for Shigeo this season. Just like little reporter girl said, “Mob-kun needs to grow much, much more.”

I rewatched MP100 and Mob/Tenga + Mob/Musashi were my takeaways. Why do I always fall for rarepairs with little to no content?😭😭

(sorry for bad quality; giphy is very limited when it comes to making gifs and I couldn’t find any other gifs of this scene)

Real quick, I just wanna talk about how much this one motion hits me so hard in the chest. The animators took such pains to animate this one sway of his head, and when you know the cost of animation, any additional motion that is added to a character means something. This sway of Reigen’s head is important.

It almost looks like Reigen is seconds away from throwing up. He’s not, but the emotion is palpable. The sway of the head means that he’s lost control. He’s dizzy with the shock of hearing that Mob knows. I separate this motion into three different stages:

1) Shock.

2) Panic/Overwhelmed

3) Despair.

Stage One: Shock - The first two seconds of the shot, with Reigen opening his eyes and recoiling. Reigen has been metaphorically punched in the face. At least it feels like it. When he asked Mob if he knew Reigen was a fraud, he didn’t expect Mob to say he “knew all along.” I don’t think Reigen even had the time to wonder if he was really that bad of an actor, or if Mob was sharper than Reigen realized. But it’s the beginning of his explosion into:

Stage Two: Panic - When he’s turning over to Mob. Now he’s processing what Mob just said, and the repercussions of it. Mob knowing means that his act is up. He’s become so used to holding onto this facade that the initial panic of it overwhelms him, and it leads into the emotional defeat of: 

Stage Three: Despair - The final dip of the head. By accepting that Mob has known (not realizing that Mob is not referring to his fraudulent behavior), Reigen has to accept the consequences thereafter. We can glean from Reigen’s behavior and upbringing that, in that moment, he believes Mob is leaving him, and Mob right now is giving him the reason. If Mob has known that Reigen was a fraud all this time, then, he knows that Reigen has been using him all this time. He knows how horrible of a person he really is. This was the final straw, and what Mob did for him at the press release was just a small mercy. That final dip of the head, the sag of his neck, is him waiting for the bid of “farewell” and “never contact me again.” 

In essence, it’s: “He knows. I can’t think. I can’t breathe. I’m going to throw up. Of course, he knows. I deserve this.”

In these four seconds of animation, we understand Reigen more as a character, and exactly how much Mob means to him, and exactly how much he despairs over what he’s done. That final second is him giving up, returning back to that young man who is discouraged time and time by his parents, and he’s ready to go back to that time. 

It makes what happens in the next five seconds so much more heartwarming.
