bruh the up-beat ED after that

and what was that PV? tf happened? I wonder how many episodes we are getting this season, probably 3 more and i'm not sure how this is gonna end.

guess we will never know if tsubame likes mob or not.

and was his phone's wallpapers saitama? lol

it was just plot convenience to get mob hit by a car. he could easily have stopped the car or picked the kid up. mob is OP af his reaction time is very fast, it's ridiculous to see that he jumped in front of the car and he didn't even use his psychic powers to reduce the blow or something.

I can't believe how our protagonists have been taking quite a beating as of late... Ichigo, Denji, and now Mob? 😩

Why does a teacher has to inform that a student from some other class is moving away? Isn't this something that the homeroom teacher would share to their particular classroom only?

Like a couple of people have pointed out that it feels weird/contrived that Mob is able to stop the car for the cat, but he doesn't do the same for the van that's going to hit the child. I'm sure a lot of people will come up with some haywire explanations on why the same scenario doesn't work twice.

😄😄😄 I thought the same thing too, what the professor did was quite weird.

Good episode, I didn't expect the episode to end that way.
Looking forward to the next episode, it's going to be crazy.

The episode was good except for the ending part. That was one of the stupidest thing I've seen in anime. You're telling me that this mega powerful psychic who just stopped a car in its tracks, gets hit by another car... What doesn't make sense even less was that he shouldn't be able to get hit. The car was aiming at the boy, yet the boy gets out of the way and Mob takes his place somehow. And if Mob had time to do this, then he should've been able to stop the car dead in its tracks. Also, barriers. So the reason why they don't show what happened and they just show the aftermath is because the scene doesn't work. It's implausible and would look stupid if they showed things playing out. A cheap way of writing a scene, just don't show it lol.

Haha, it's hilarious seeing so many people confused by something so simple for which all you need is knowledge of Mob's character traits.

nah it would have been terrible if this were episode 1. this arc only works as well as it does because it happens at the end after everything else has. season 1 and 2 also started out with slice-of-life episodes to ease the viewers before going into the main arcs, and yet i don't see nearly as many people complaining about those episodes.
the divine tree arc and the alien arc (yes even the alien arc) were there to focus on other characters besides just mob, and wrapped up their arcs as well. it just seems like you're only focusing on the action and shock factor rather than the actual writing quality, because that hasn't changed from the previous two seasons.

I partially agree with you now that you've pointed it out. It's definitely true there was character development through episodes 1-8 for some of the side characters, but they were side characters that I didn't like in the first place so I didn't enjoy getting 8 episodes of that.

I'd like to see some development with photographer girl, and the body improvement club members individually to flesh them out since everyone already loves them. Not 8 episodes of loser club and broccoli vilain with boring motivation.

that's fair, if you didn't care for any of the characters involved the arcs may seem like a bit of a drag to watch.

i do see what you mean about focusing more on mezato and the body improvement club and i'd also like to see that, but tome and her club simply had more presence and involvement in kickstarting the events of the series as early as s1, so i can see why they went with them instead. dimple's goal of becoming a god, while very simple, did get a bit more fleshed out by showing that dimple's true desires are actually much more mundane (having a friend).

Lame, everything was going ok in the episode until that pathetic cliffhanger, I guess fans will make any excuse to validate that Shigeo didn't used his powers. The worst thing of all is people in the comments is acting like if Shigeo is really going to die, makes you wonder if they are really so stupid... CSM fans though not being known as the brightest fandom didn't even blind an eye when Makima and Denji got headshot in the last episode, anyone with an IQ over 30 can guess that those characters aren't going to die so easily, just like Mob is going to survive this lame cliffhanger, MP 100 isn't build like that when it comes to kill a character and the worst of all, this type of death-threat cliffhanger has been used already in the show in S1 (Ep 11, Reigen) and in S2 (Shigeo family burned) to no real impact, both of those cliffhangers ended being used just for the shock effect and nothing happened after that, both Reigen and Shigeo family were pretty secure and alive after that, so in the 3rd time you use it are you expecting me to believe that the MC is going to die? It is not even close to be acceptable.

Also the last two episodes are starting to feel like a filler, I hope to see some kind of value from those episodes into the last 3 episodes remaining or the season score will be affected by that, those last moments of the episode could be used as the build-up for Mob declaration, then next episode Mobs get rejected (only viable execution of the plot) and last two episodes would had been Mob accepting his failure at reaching his objetive even when he made the effort to improve himself but recognizing that sometimes that isn't enough to get things in life, now focus in getting into a good university and appreciate the journey he has made until now, end of the show. Instead we will have another arc where the main target of Shigeo will be again delayed, leaving less time for introspection, also something tells me this arc will end in power of friendship or power of love, please I hope that I will be wrong.

Anyways, MP is not even remotely close to being an AOTY candidate and the last season has been the worst one by far right now and I don't think the last 3 episodes will fix that, overall the episode was a 7.3/10 until the cliffhanger but that happened and so it ends with a 5.2/10, the season so far stands at a 5.4/10.

finally someone lol, if not for bones god tier adaptation this show would've been unwatchable.im still pissed the family survived the burn. They could've ventured into darker route with family's death

it makes no sense to expect this from the show especially if you've watched almost 3 whole seasons.
i honestly do not understand the obsession some of you people have with believing that death and "going down the dark route" is an inherently better direction for the story and character development to go with when it's one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do so. mob's family dying would not have progressed mob's character in any meaningful way besides going down the generic "MC loses his family and becomes jaded" route in such a jarring tone shift that'd be incongruent with the rest of the series. just because it's something you personally would have preferred to happen does not mean it would make sense or would be a better direction to take the story in because it simply would not.

then what's the point of all those cheap shock factors? You're just proving my point that this show has cheap writing by invoking shock factors. Stop assuming Darker routes means mob being edgy.

Firstly, murdering Mob's parents would defeat the purpose of the story. Parents being killed off in a story about a young person going through puberty is not a particularly relatable trait for a majority of people.

Secondly, such "cheap shock factors" are intended to make readers fearful of what may occur if Mob actually lost control. I think people forget what the story is really about. Think about it, if Mob's parents had died what would've happened? He would either have to forgive Claw quickly which will piss the audience off or he would go on to murder Claw's boss and have a drastic change in personality. It would just be a different series at that point.

OMG!!1!1oneonetwo! is truck-kun ok?

I said this before and I will say it again, is this really a final season? shit is so fucking underwhelming, goddamn! I just couldn't care less seeing Mob being hit by truck-kun, shit was too cliché for me to enjoy. The episode wasn't THAT bad and it made me smirk a couple of times but for a final season and to be this close to the ending I simply expected better, shit is way too overrated and this just isn't cutting it for me.

Good thing this is almost over, I won't have to deal with this anime ever again.

6/10

The whole Tsubomi thing was literally the reason Mob is who he is today. He joined the club, he made friends, he became mature, to be a better version of himself just for this moment, to be closer to Tsubomi. If you hate this anime that much I'm surprised you made it to this episode. Guess it's all about fighting for you huh?

I don't hate this anime, I don't like it either, it's just mid at best. And Mob barely changed, he's the same boring, introverted simp he has always been since episode 1. For the last season I expected way better stuff here but nope.

I was also shitting on Made in Abyss, I did it in season 1, the movie, and the 1st half of season 2, I've found that one mid at best and overrated too but guess what, I freaking loved the 2nd half in the 2nd season and to my surprise, I started praising it and I ended up giving Made in Abyss S2 a 9/10 and even got me reading the manga. The same could have happened in Mob Psycho if this shit was good but it isn't, it's just mid at best so yeah, I don't always shit on animes, I also praise it if they do a good job at it but that isn't happening with this season.

Anyways, not to worry, you won't see me again on this Mob Psycho forum once I'm done with this anime.

"Mob barely changed". Just wow. Some takes I can allow because they are subjective but Mob's character development and growth from seasons 1 to 3 is pretty much objective.

He is first presented in season 1 as a typical, awkward schoolboy with psychic abilities. Traumatized by the event, in which he loses control and injures his younger brother, he begins to despise his abilities and self-consciously stops using his powers.

In season 2, he begins to change. He became aware of his incapacity to communicate his true sentiments to Emi, the fake girlfriend, after meeting her. He was affected negatively by these events, which made him more aware of and appreciative of his emotions. And as he decides to pick up those bits of her shredded novel, we see him standing up for his feelings for the first time. His struggle with Reigen towards the end of season 2 serves to highlight this change in him from no longer wanting to be this antisocial and awkward kid. The Mogami simulation was also a big part of his character progression

Now in season 3, the dude can finally play football now LMAO. In all seriousness, season 3 just shows the results of all that change in season 2. He's more confident in himself, he even planned to ask out the girl he has liked for so long despite the very real chance that it could end in anguish for him. If that isn't character development and change, then I don't know what is.

To be fair, yeah I can see you have a point there, Mob did have some character development but then again, I'm just not interested nor impressed with his character development. In my eyes Mob is the same boring, introverted simp character from the very first episode. Here we are, this late in the season, shit is about to end and this is supposed to be in the climax, and instead of having a good plot twist or climax or whatever we have Mob simping about the girl like some random filler episode, like sure, I get it, Mob Psycho is trying to be different than other animes but this just ain't cutting it to me.

And before anyone says I'm looking for "Big Fights" or whatever, no I don't, I just want a good story, I never really cared about the fights nor action scenes in Mob Psycho anyway since I've found the previous seasons equally as mid with a 6/10, I didn't care about the action scenes in Made in Abyss either and this one was also a 6/10 to me but at least season 2 had a good emotional story in the 2nd half which I freaking loved and made me change my opinion about that anime. I just can't find any of this in Mob Psycho, this season is way too "fillery".

Is this really the final season of Mob? If so, I'm curious if the creators will be able to fit the rest of the story into the remaining 3 episodes. I haven't read the manga so I don't know how much material there is still to be done.

It's okay that in shonen there's always this big problem of getting with a girl, but an accident in order not to make things go smoothly seems a bit much for me.

Also the last two episodes are starting to feel like a filler, I hope to see some kind of value from those episodes into the last 3 episodes remaining or the season score will be affected by that, those last moments of the episode could be used as the build-up for Mob declaration, then next episode Mobs get rejected (only viable execution of the plot) and last two episodes would had been Mob accepting his failure at reaching his objetive even when he made the effort to improve himself but recognizing that sometimes that isn't enough to get things in life, now focus in getting into a good university and appreciate the journey he has made until now, end of the show. Instead we will have another arc where the main target of Shigeo will be again delayed, leaving less time for introspection, also something tells me this arc will end in power of friendship or power of love, please I hope that I will be wrong.

Anyways, MP is not even remotely close to being an AOTY candidate and the last season has been the worst one by far right now and I don't think the last 3 episodes will fix that, overall the episode was a 7.3/10 until the cliffhanger but that happened and so it ends with a 5.2/10, the season so far stands at a 5.4/10.

God I hate little shits like this who act like everyone is fucking retarded.. we know that he’s not gonna die… the concept of plot armor isn’t anything new. It’s just a lot more fun to go and enjoy it, live in the moment. All these wannabe critics going to good shit and pretending it’s mid. Idk why people are shitting on s3 lol. Just here for fights and animation I guess, still even after ep 6 they still be hating. Well don’t worry peeps they’ll change their tune after the finale

[/quote] Average shounen fans who are all about fighting and turned blind to everything else. Surprised they made it this far to this episode.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm all about fighting in the most family friendly anime ever where there isn't any real death threat to the characters, no matter how big or dangerous is the fight. The fights on this shows are senseless, so I don't really care about that, you are just avoiding reality using an answer that fits your narrative. The 1st episode of the 2nd season is my 2nd favorite episode of MP 100, there isn't any fight in that episode, I also LIKED this episode until the cliffhanger, I don't remember any fight happening in this episode neither and I actually thought that all the Dimple fight was boring, same for that last arc of 2nd season.

Actually, MP fans are the ones acting like the usual Shounen-tards defending vehemently any valid criticism of the show, you aren't better than fanboys of AOT, KnY, HxH, FMAB, sorry to tell you.

There is also people mentioning that MP going into a darker route or killing his family wouldn't fit the show, I partially agree but I don't have problems with shows changing their narrative/genre/atmosphere over the course of the runtime but that's another topic. Yet, you can't use that kind of cliffhanger and the make people take you seriously, why baiting killing a family in a family friendly show where there isn't any risk of great dangers? Losing the house was already enough for going mad. Also about Shigeo killing people, there is a point in life where you realize you can't change people and that there is tons of bad of people that deserve to die just for the risk they represent agaisnt society, in a show about self-growing when is Shigeo going take the next step and realize this truth? For a Journey of self-growing, he is still very naive in his view of the world and people. Anyways that ship is gone.

The episode was good except for the ending part. That was one of the stupidest thing I've seen in anime. You're telling me that this mega powerful psychic who just stopped a car in its tracks, gets hit by another car... What doesn't make sense even less was that he shouldn't be able to get hit. The car was aiming at the boy, yet the boy gets out of the way and Mob takes his place somehow. And if Mob had time to do this, then he should've been able to stop the car dead in its tracks. Also, barriers. So the reason why they don't show what happened and they just show the aftermath is because the scene doesn't work. It's implausible and would look stupid if they showed things playing out. A cheap way of writing a scene, just don't show it lol.

I have seen this comment alot about the accident. I know people are thinking it's illogical. As a person who got hit by a vehicle I can say that it's hard to make a split second decision. When a speeding vehicle is too close sometimes some people just completely freeze. Mob just threw himself and pushed the kid away. Also like people say that he got buildings thrown at him and he was completely fine but now he is hurt, I am not sure but I think it's more like the aura he uses to protect himself, but he usually does it only during fights he doesn't use psychic powers normally so i don't think he was actively protecting himself at every moment. It's just what I think.

And so it begins, the final arc.
I love how wholesome 95% of this episode is, seeing everyone Mob has met along the way trying to help him, seeing how much he has grown since the beginning of the series, and how people around him changed because of him.
Even being just a slice of life episode with nothing really special in regards to the animation, this is probably my favorite episode so far.

This is really irrelevant but your signature is awesome and made me laugh lmao

Lame, everything was going ok in the episode until that pathetic cliffhanger, I guess fans will make any excuse to validate that Shigeo didn't used his powers. The worst thing of all is people in the comments is acting like if Shigeo is really going to die, makes you wonder if they are really so stupid...

It is not even close to be acceptable.

Also the last two episodes are starting to feel like a filler, I hope to see some kind of value from those episodes into the last 3 episodes remaining or the season score will be affected by that, those last moments of the episode could be used as the build-up for Mob declaration, then next episode Mobs get rejected (only viable execution of the plot) and last two episodes would had been Mob accepting his failure at reaching his objetive even when he made the effort to improve himself but recognizing that sometimes that isn't enough to get things in life, now focus in getting into a good university and appreciate the journey he has made until now, end of the show.

it makes no sense to expect this from the show especially if you've watched almost 3 whole seasons.
i honestly do not understand the obsession some of you people have with believing that death and "going down the dark route" is an inherently better direction for the story and character development to go with when it's one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do so. mob's family dying would not have progressed mob's character in any meaningful way besides going down the generic "MC loses his family and becomes jaded" route in such a jarring tone shift that'd be incongruent with the rest of the series. just because it's something you personally would have preferred to happen does not mean it would make sense or would be a better direction to take the story in because it simply would not.

then what's the point of all those cheap shock factors? You're just proving my point that this show has cheap writing by invoking shock factors. Stop assuming Darker routes means mob being edgy.

This is a public forum and I gave my personal opinion, I never said on behalf of all

i didn't "prove your point" when there was never a good point at all.
you keep saying it like it's a recurring thing that's purposefully created when it's just the way the episodes are paced and thus end at a certain point. i get not liking when episodes end on a cliffhanger that end up not happening, but at this point mob's family not being dead is a far more reasonable direction than actually going through with murdering them. that would be cheap writing because it would not add anything of value and has no real purpose in the overarching narrative or on mob's journey. i'm not assuming anything when it was you who said "they could've ventured into the darker route with the family's death" as if it would have been the better choice lol. it just comes off as you randomly throwing around terms like "cheap writing" over things you personally do not like, and your suggestions would not be consistent with the series at all. just drop the show at this point if it bothers you that much.

Besides you didn't say anything to disprove my point. Mob has stayed the same for 3 seasons straight and all those shock factors didnt add anything to the story. Like I said the series introduces what feels like a major point in the story( like family's death) only to end it in a lame way.

Besides we're nine episode in and the story is revolving around aliens and what not in a final season. Even if the last 3 eps are top tier, this season was just underwhelming. The show should've ended last season or should've swapped places with season 3

Reigen's advice for Mob is very genuine. Be fresh and clean. Be sincere and faithful. Be fashionable and a good listener. And finally, Just be yourself.
Mob is lucky to have such a great mentor figure to look up to lol.
Mob just has to be himself and convey how he really feels to Tsubomi.
But unfortunately, luck of the draw struck him in the end : (

Such an uplifting episode. Seems like Tsubome, Mobs childhood friend and crush, is moving away. Since season 1 Mob went through a lot of character development. He's way more confident, especially in a case where you're about to tell your feelings towards your crush. Anybody who's ever experienced this, knows how difficult it can get. That's also why I loved when Reigen told Mob just to be himself.

The scene with the body improvement club was absolute hilarious. I wasn't too sure why Mob's percentage kept rising and that ending was totally unexpected. Getting hit by a car is no joke, so I'm curious how badly Mob is injured and if he still makes it to his date with Tsubomi.

dude if you reply in a public forum it's common knowledge people who disagree will reply back lol it's not hard to get

the whole point was, essentially, that you don't have a good point. you just don't like the season.
those "shock factors" (which aren't nearly as many as you're saying) aren't there to serve as "turning points" in the narrative, but to show how close mob is to losing control when one of his loved ones are in potential danger (e.g. reigen, his family) or himself, and how it's reigen and dimple to help snap him out of it in the first two cases. those moments always add something of value, such as ending with mob learning to appreciate how he still has others to help keep him in check. reigen and his family don't need to die in order for mob to gain something out of those moments. in fact, having the family die would be actively harmful because it would just be a cheap turning point that's so tonally inconsistent with the type of story it's trying to tell. it doesn't matter if you personally consider it lame, the outcome is still a thousand times better than your proposal of just killing off his family because that would have no merit in mob's development.

i'm like. taking the longest moment trying to process how you unironically think mob has "stayed the same" for all 3 seasons. that is a statement beyond 0 media literacy. i could cite every example in which the series very explicitly showed mob's character undergoing changes if you're so dead-set on this point because wow.
having one episode that showed the aliens as a one-off gag hardly counts as "revolving around them". that arc was about tome and her friends making the most out of their youth after wasting so much time beforehand, the aliens were merely tools to drive forward the subplot. it's insane how an arc that focuses on the side characters is suddenly an issue but then people also complain on how "characters besides mob don't get focus" for some wild reason so i'm not particularly inclined to take these "criticisms" seriously at this point.

the show ending on s2 would also not work because having the final arc be about mob "beating up the bad guys" would be unrepresentative of the series and mob's arc. at its core, the story is about mob growing to learn to accept himself fully and broaden his horizons in finding joy in the mundane (working out and forming bonds) over the extraordinary (psychic powers). mob working up the courage to confess to tsubomi (which is the major catalyst and reason for the whole plot) is infinitely more fitting to end the series on than the world domination arc despite it being less "hype". i don't care if you find the season underwhelming but these points just show an immense misunderstanding of what the series is about or what's clearly been shown so far.

Can someone explain to me the end? Mob just casually stops a car with his powers but 10 seconds later suddenly jumps in front of another?
Plus I've seen Mob getting punched through buildings, somehow I have trouble taking it serious when suddenly a car is hurting him...
