If you can't see how the previous 7 episodes build up Mob's character and fleshes out the themes then you really need to pay more attention - it's not hard to see.Artur_Moreira said: I think that you have no idea what you're talking about ... but I just observe the fact that you said that the first 7 episodes is "garbage" but pointed out that "episode 8 ended on a high note" like a brat "edgelord of darkness" "only cool if have death" LOL it seems like you still do not understand that mob is above all, a story about adolescence, maturation and power responsibilities and not about an "edgelord kid seeking revenge for the parents death! OMG so dark! I'm so mature!" If you can't see how poorly the cliffhanger and the reveal was handled then good for you. Blissful ignorance. Keep having fun looking at empty characters making faces and voices |

| I'm glad his family is safe, phew! The Ultimate 5 guys will be worthy opponents. |

fbradcdsc said: The last scene in episode 1 talking about valuing yourself more, the urban legends was foreshadowing for later, the third episode had Mob questioning his morality, the fourth was set up for the fifth which talked about Mob realising he can change people for the better, use his power for good and appreciating how far he's come, episode 6 and 7 being about how Reigen has been a static character until now and recognising he needs to change along with Reigen. Episode 8 shows how far Mob has developed to and has other characters recognising this leading up to the cliffhanger which effectively got the anime audience to sympathise with what Mob felt at the moment and the rest of the arc is about confirming the ideals Mob represents and contrasting them with Claws' ideology. The actual villains don't matter that much, what they represent does and that gets thoroughly explained within the arc.DumpsterKing said: One of your complaints was about how the new villains motives are laughable.

At least in season 1 their depth was faked. Now they're nothing more than gag material. I realized where this series is going when i realized a Reigen episode was my favourite so far. And I hate Reigen. I mean, look at how Koyama was introduced in season 1, slowly building through multiple episodes. We got to see more of him than the ultimate 5 combined and there are just 4 episodes left. But hey, we got the urban legends episode, that was fun right? Good for you, for real. |

| Dimple is saving everyone's ass in this season, well i loved him so it's so good to see him doing so well, love Teru and Reigen spotlight as well MP is automatically the best of this season rn and as the climax we're going back to Claw again. It looks like we won't get |
| These ultimate 5 guys are no joke! I didn’t expect Teru to get destroyed so easily. |

SYquan2000 said: Reminder that Claw is supposed to be a joke. Re-watch episode 12OK,this episode is a bit dissapointing,the cliffhanger last episode is sure cheap and and the Claw's plan is kinda edgy and stupid,but it is not that bad and one episode can't make the whole season shit guys.All of you who shit talk this episode probably Kaguya-sama or Shield Hero fangay who have got butthurt for so so long because Mob and Dororo shit stomp your stupid ass anime so so hard |
|
| can't wait to see Mob one shotted them all |
| This episode could've been great if the tension built up from the previous episode was not lost. But they messed up by adding funny sound effects as well as suddenly changing the tone from serious to comedic for Dimple's dialogue. I don't know if it's just me or the animation quality for this episode took a noticeable hit. The characters did not look as good as compared to the episodes thus far. Also, it's not as fluid as the episodes from before. This episode also suffers from pacing issues. Everything seems rushed. The whole Claw organisation thing felt rushed. There was not enough time spent to introduce the members making the whole thing feel cheap. 3/5 for me, sadly, as the previous episodes were great thus far. |

fbradcdsc said: This season is a trainwreck and i can't believe people are praising it. The first 7 episodes were filler garbage with brainless gags and a sprinkle of character building here and there. Ep 8 ended on a high note just to have the cliffhanger ruined 20 seconds later in the trailer. Here we have a rushed ass episode, characters joking while we were still wondering if mob's family was alive, an enemy organization which has the most laughable motive, new characters with no charisma. A long shot from the originality and the pacing of season 1, i wonder if they are still following the source material because they clearly have no idea what they're doing. What has this series come to. While I agree with you that this episode was bad as in not properly resolving the cliffhanger from previous episode, I very much disagree with you that the previous episodes were garbage. They were some of the best episodes of any anime this season. The character development for Mob and especially Reigen was phenomenal. |

| I was pretty sure the deaths would be fake after first seeing the ep, kinda got spoiled with "it's going to be ok" after that on some comments i saw so was sure it was another of those fake deaths that Mob Psycho has had two already now three. I think that's ok, would have hated if Ritsu and/or his parents died, would change the tone of show too much. However I still think it was resolved way too quickly in the ep and seemed bit of backpedaling after that cliffhanger they pulled on people. I did like Reigen and Dimple pointing out they might be still dead, but in other hand we saw they weren't so not suspense about that anymore. Also I'd have liked see Mob explode more before he was brought back, but I did like his 100% emotion though i'm not sure what emotion it was, revenge? another blast of animosity? (i'd like if they told us more since it's kinda cool to see different 100% emotions like sadness, courage, rage and animosity we have had so far). Lot of stuff happened this ep, but I feel like I need to back a bit and have another take on all new characters that were introduced cause that was a lot. Also loved the fight between Teru and new villain guy, pretty badass fight and abilities from both. And I feel like Shou will be interesting character, i still wonder if he kinda kidnapped Ritsu or not lol, and I would like to know what his motivations are, other than not letting his father embrass him or is that just it. |

Old_School_Akira said: ONE PUNCH MAN REFERENCE!!! Ataccot said: The people complaining about the fake bodies and Mob not going psycho kill everyone mode are missing the point of the series. Sure it would be an interesting twist but that's not what Mob is about. Yeah don’t bother with those edgy kids on the internet. XD  Honestly,low-key the most hilarious part of the episode,even average anon was laughing on whole World Dominantion bullshit.Also they made Shimazaki even more cool then in the manga and Sasuke VA was pleasant surprise to me) |
| Great episode with bad direction it was seriously all over the place, this happens when you change the staff... The boss of Claw didn't have a fucking impact at all the way they introduced him, I mean come on he is the big daddy give him a little bit of luxury. |
| Not that good, villains appear out of nowhere (Most of them) with no development or hints. The gang should have been preparing instead of eating and resting. Props to Mob though, eight 5/5 episodes, but this is where it stops. 3/5 |
| It's reassuring to know that his parents are doing alright. It's also nice to see all of the 5th division members from the last season. I wonder who's going to fight who. |
| Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts. |
| The Claw/World Domination arc is the longest arc in the manga. There are just so so so many stuff going on that if Bones want to adapt all of them it would take them at least 5-6 episodes. And that's not included the conclusion of this arc. If Bones really want to go that way meaning the season will end in an even bigger cliffhanger than episode 8's ending. I really can't see them go that way. That means they will have to speed up this arc and skip a bunch of things. I have my trust in Bones, but thinking about them going through this arc at lightning speed (3 volumes for 5 episodes) still makes my heart hurt. It's fair if some people feel underwhelming about this episode, especially after the perfectly executed episode 8. This part is kinda boring in the manga too. The only difference is we have more time to learn about all new characters thanks to the slow pace in the manga. This is just a setup episode and even the animation reflect that. In my opinion this is probably the worst episode in term of animation (by Mob's standard btw) of season 2. That said, I'm surprised at how much I enjoy it. I just re-read this arc few days ago but frankly I didn't feel this episode rush at all, unlike ep4-5 this season or ep6-7 from S1. I actually found it entertaining and give just enough information for the viewers. I'm not confidence enough to say this will only be better since I absolutely have no idea how Bones will handle this arc. Many things can go wrong. No adaptation is perfect, that's for sure. But Bones has prove from time to time that they can turn the table very quickly. So... we should wait and see... I guess. |

| Well shit. Not surprised Mob's parents aren't dead, but I didn't expect Shou to actually be on Mob's side. At the same time he was the one who set the trap to enrage Mob so it was kinda sleazy. We ended up with more "teams" than I expected. You got the foreign group who want to stop claw, claw expect the only members that actually have relevance are the ultimate 5, Mob's group who have joined up with the old division 7 guys, and Shou's group. Seems everyone wants to stop claw tho, which means those claw guys are gonna have to be real tough. |
| Well that escalated too quickly! too many events happened and I could not even track all of them! Let's be thankful the parents of Mob are safe and sound! but why is Ritsu on the group of Shou!? i think the Ultimate 5 combined is stronger that unleashed Mob...and the teleporter is also a bit threat! 5/5! |
 |
| I was about to rate this ep a 4/5, then Sugiyama-san's voice came out of nowhere. Talk about a pleasant surprise! I really love that he voice acts a character that's totally different from all his previous ones. The casualness of the character was reflected so naturally through his excellent performance. 5/5, that is it. |
 |
| Now this is epic. I'm hyped to see all the different espers in action. Especially the boss, I wonder what kind of op power he has. SMH that one guy interrupting a lecture about gender equality |
 |
| please give us some badass fight soon |
 |
| Good episode. Nice to know Mob's family is safe. |
 |
| wow..the episodes keep on getting better and better... I hope it is more than 12 episodes... |

bakacheeto said: please give us some badass fight soon The fight at the end was good. Teru I think is on the same level as those ultimate 5 guys, just needs more experiance. Will we ever see Mob go full bat shit crazy, maybe against the umbrella guy? My real question is if the leader of the claw is goign to end up like Reigan and have no esper powers either. Imagie if the last fight of the whole series is just a throwing salt fight between reigan and the claw leader. |
hadukek said: cchigu said: How the heck was this episode boring whatFuck man, kinda disappointed. Last episode's cliffhanger was fake and even the happenings in this episode were boring. 3/5 Because it was boring |
| Oh my god that episode was insane |
Hey there! If you'd like to talk about anime or anything else feel free to drop a comment on my page or DM me. I'd be glad to have a conversation and make some new friends :) My list: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Amazinc?status=7&order=4&order2=0 |
| Ekubo convinced Mob that the corpses they found are made with an ability and his family is ok. An esper appeared in Hanazawa's room. Mob located two espers in the city and went behind them, after beating them, they told him that they were in their way to Mob's home (Ekubo noticed someone with an umbrella). After that, Koyama and Sakurai (ex-Claw mambers) picked up Mob and brought him to a meeting with Reigen and other ex-members of claw, seventh division. There was Reigen too and explained everything, calming down Mob and revealing that now seventh division are fugitives. Hanazawa appeared and joined them, bringing the esper he defeated as a hostage. Claw made a television statement about world domination, being Toichiro Suzuki the leader. Ritsu is with Sho and Ritsu and Mob's parents are safe. Some infiltrated espers in claw began an internal conflict, finished by the superfive espers from claw. Shimazaki (one of the superfive) kidnapped the prime minister from Japan, but Hanazawa intercepted him, they had a fighting, Hanazawa lost and Shimazaki got away with the prime minister. Exciting episode, the action turned completely on and tension increased really high, very enjoyable to watch different espers fighting. The battle between Hanazawa and Shimazaki was awesome, even when it was completely in one side, in the end Hanazawa couldn't notice Shimazaki teleporting ability, but excellent. There is Mob too, he was completely mad, but later he calmed down thanks to Reigen, Sho wanted to provoke him, to have another esper in his plan against Toichiro, I think. |

Characters have the characterisation of a paper figure and are drawn like they were a 5-year-old kid's drawing on paint. If you think a 5-year-old could draw that then you're delusional. |
