100% Blind Mob Psycho 100 Review: SEASON THREE (The End) 

straight, undeniable facts bro

and mobs confession to himself

this all sounds kinda sus

@@bred9901 It is only sus if you make it sus. It only says things about yourself, you weirdo.

Oh I didn't catch that at first

It's been established by now that Reigen may not be an esper but he is built different He casually strolls into Claw HQ in S1 and manages to tear down their entire operation there by using logic and a couple anti esper dropkicks. He's just not a normal human the man is a wildcard

Reigen is HIM

We always knew that Reigen is the most OP character in Mob Psycho

It was all about that strong bond Mob had with Reigen

That right there is the power of self/body improvement.

Dimple is a true homie 😢😢😢😢

think about it Dimple wanted nothing but love and adoration from the masses. he wanted to become a god purely for vibes

It reminds me of why I do dislike villains that just want to take over the world. There's always a deeper reason. The reason may not even be reasonable but it has to come from an authentic place

I was emotional when I thought he was dead I was like noooo dimple (plus god dimple was cold)

Buff Pikachu had me in tears there for a second. Was so relieved to have him back!!

absolute facts

Exactly bro

I think we’re just beaten down by the typical plot contrivances of most anime and stories in general. Mobs such a fairly grounded show at heart, that the concept that everyone could ever just live happily ever after after doing one grand gesture kinda goes against what it was about Reigen will still have doubts about himself, mob with still have issues with accepting himself and learning to perceive others, seasoning city will always be under attack by psychic threats, someday, mob and reigen will speak for the last time.... But while important, none of that really matters because the power to keep growing and improving will always be there, and as long as they continue to learn and grow, there’s nothing to worry about. We can’t be right all the time, sometimes messing up will be a necessary step in order for us to actually experience things and even grow to be better sometimes!! So the actual outcome or definitive end for these characters is kinda irrelevant in comparison to that nugget of info imo I find endings like these a billion times more inspiration and deeply calming than any “definitive” ending where it’s revealed shigella married tsubomi and is 100% completely fulfilled forever now or something any day I don’t care about any of that, that was never the point of the story, it doesn’t matter if reigen ever put dimple on a leash! It’s honestly a similar reason as to why I loved the bojack horseman ending despite similarly not wrapping literally everything up The idea that life goes on even when we’re not watching or with someone anymore hits way harder than a finite happily ever after ever could, ESPECIALLY when executed well.

yeah no after season 2 i was left with a feeling of "WOAHHH, wait.. what about the other characters" and this season SERVED

exactly: mob never told tsubomi his feelings, we never found out what the deal with ???% was, hell Reigen didn't even actually tell Mob the truth about himself regardles of if it was necessary or not. Calw waas a DISTRACTION from the real, th story was never really about Claw (hence why we only deal with it for two arcs)

Time makes quality

and now i feel old,

Really? That's actually amazing 🤣🤣🤣

Oh yeah. I remember that.

Lol i love that, hope jun sagawa is pursuing his vet dreams

Jun out here taking care of the other superbeasts.

I think it's interesting because season two could have been a very shonen conclusion. Like, if it were a typical, action anime it would be a very typical ending; beat up the bad organization and now we're done. But mob is a story about these characters and their growth, and they had not fully resolved the characters biggest struggles by the end of season 2, so of course it wouldn't be a proper end for Mob :)

Those people honestly haven't thought it through very well. If the show ended in season 2 we wouldn't get closure to multiple character arcs and most importantly we wouldn't get closure to mob's literal goal from the very start of asking his crush out. Idk what people are honestly thinking when they say season 3 wasn't needed.

@kenethernandez6246 some people still think claw is the "plot" of the story when the series didn't even start with Claw.

these people likely missed what the story was all about and jsut thought it was a straight action show about fighting villains.

@@guesta9822 hell Claw only is the focus of two arcs and one of those absolutely rips into the entire concept of claw and how stupid it actually is and the other is when claw is DESTROYED

facts

Got me crying in the club rn 😭

He just like me fr fr

It’s also better than Fullmetal Alchemist, although not by much.

Nah it's not THAT mainstream. It'll be more like how people talk about Hunter x Hunter

@@Ash_Wen-li dude hunter x hunter is even more mainstream than fma

@@patrickloureiro351 That's not my experience. But it could be because I'm used to talking to people that grew up with FMAB. Maybe a better example would be Samurai Champloo. It's well regarded by those who watched it but if you came into anime later on and didn't look back, it's unfortunately not going to be in the discussion much

I agree 100%, I love a lot of shows that arent perfect, but mob psycho and fma are perfect stories in my opinion

yeah its not that Mob already knew, which is what i seen peple complain about. rather, it doesn't matter if Mob already knew r not, what was important is that Reigen said it outright, openly. Because a silent acceptance isn't the same as being opnely honest.

I thought the thing about Season 2 was that it was a fake out. Mob never said he always knew Reigen had no powers. Mob said he always knew Reigen was a good guy.

@@ashketchup7354 Mob may or may not have known, but Shigeo Kagayama did.

yeah i feel this story is way better that one punch man that for some reason everyone has seen

Same. I have some friends who try to down play mob as an inferior version of one punch man and ive realized its because they had mostly been watching the show through the lense of what they expect out of a shonen anime. And while i still think the fights and action scenes are 1st class, not merely flashy flashy color spectacles as they see it, that is far from the point of the show. They and many other i think get kind of stuck looking at the plot of mob psycho instead of the story. They havent seen season 3 yet mostly because they thought season 2 concluded “the plot” but i think as time goes on and mob continues to receive its flowers people will come to appreciate this show as a timeless classic in anime and story telling.

I feel that is something I've grown accustomed to. That is why I recommend it twice. Once when they start to see if they want to start off with a bang or when I know they can appreciate it after being through enough series. I guess a similar comparison can be said with Konosuba. That series as a whole for me is one of the best I've seen as a story about characters being real people among unreal environments. It's in the moments of people that memories stay and not in the ruins of a battle. And funnily enough, the same friends who didn't like Mob or dropped it halfway through season 1 were also the ones who repeated the same for anime like Jojo, Konosuba and Gintama which are some of my favourites while binging through the shounen hype trains. Maybe its just me but Demon Slayer isnt it. It's a heavily flawed story enhanced only by the animation from my experience with the manga. Boku no Hero has a strong base but dwindles halfway through but looks like it picked itself back up in the manga. Naruto is a story about impossible odds and unseen miracles. Bleach is about ones instability. Nanatsu no Taizai is a story about flawed characters in a flawed story done haphazardly sometimes. Not that I don't like any of these but i don't seem to have a connection to them except SDS because of phenomenal character writing. They're passing clouds. But they loved it with every inch of their being. The ones who heeded my advice and loved Mob and the others? They're the ones who went onto read Berserk and now joke about Griffith while having a solemn look of dread. They're fun. I guess I'm just someone who loves good writing in general and Mob? One did a fucking fantastic job at a story if I have it on my top with sitting comfortably next to Gintama and Jojo. I know it's long and not many will read it. So here's a unique piece of information. The only other piece of anime that made me this emotional? Steins Gate.

It’s goated and many won’t even know if it

Mobs weird style reminds me of older anime movies more than it does modern anime and as someone who grew up on those movies that makes it amazing for me.

"haha I'm a genius! OH NO!

Dimple squared up against the consequences of his actions like Pink Guy vs. Bane

Indeed, Mob and Teru's rivalry was never about who was physically stronger, but about mental strength. By saving everyone while Mob lost control, Teru won this time.

I never thought about it that way but honestly that makes the story have even more depth and nuance than it did before. The thought that One is actively writing about his own struggles and now that he is older he can teach how to overcome those struggles with Reigen.

Oh wow, you're definitely correct but i didn't realize that until now. I always thought of Mob as being a bit of a self-insert, representing struggles that One went through as a child. But, I think it's fair to say that he put a lot of himself into both main characters. I wonder if that's part of the reason their dynamics feel so fleshed out and harmonious.

@@eel12333 Mob represents childhood and growing up, while Reigen represents adulthood and learning from your mistakes.

Regien feels like a self insert with his problems but probably not his personality. I feel like ONE made his personality to simpily just be interesting to the viewer, whereas his issues are entirely personal struggles of ONE. Especially the "he was an office man at a dead end job who quit to peruse his dream of making something of himself."

Same. I was thinking this is the 3rd youtuber I watch that I found out is into wrestling

im now waiting till the remake of kinnikuman comes out, for mark to watch. it would be the coming of the grand daddy of every popular shonen under the sun

I'm so god damn glad I didn't get spoiled on that. I knew that the first op was going to play again but that was it.

facts

Shes childhood friend with the guy, knows him a lot, and knows what he can do, probably found out about the brother incident and saw the change in him. She knows what he's capable of, and in season 2 learned that he's growing as a person again, so she probably knew that our guy was strugling tru something and choose to stay put, to give him closure, shes a Badass B to be honest. And mob probably is the cause as she came to know the most powerfull psy in the world all her life, and get bored with the fact that that was all it was, wich lead her to get over it. When he put together the novel in season 2 and shes goes "Nice one mob" i knew she was on his corner.

absolute facts

definitely my favorite series of all time because of how well every aspect of it was written

idk personally I wished they did more with Tsubomi

Same. That final arc is the best thing I've seen in my whole life.

@@Stootchee I think what they did with her was perfectly enough, they didn’t repeatedly ram her special qualities in your face and they didn’t make her secretly some super powerful esper, they made her a normal girl, a courageous and somewhat blunt-ish one at that, but overall normal She didn’t need to be that special, she was a character that helped to drive mob and reigen’s story further and she did that perfectly, her rejection to mob also conveyed that perfectly, having him let out his emotions healthily for the first time in the series, and yet at the same time keep in touch with him to show that there is still hope She was utilized perfectly by what I’ve seen

@@prestongarvey2599 Yes I think her character there is pretty perfect for the story.

@@prestongarvey2599 The last episode just left me feeling empty, and I was expecting a little more. It was probably just me though.

I personally was expecting something along the lines of Mob's unleashed 100% energy manifesting itself into the tree as an evil clone or something.

@@MiggetyMattR Would've been interesting, but I think they already did a good job depicting the divine tree as an extension of Mob's greatest flaws

Glad to see a fellow fan of dandan

I'm gonna miss it so much! 😭😭😭😭😭

I could recognize that profile picture in any place A Dandapeak reader i see

A Modern classic? Yes. Era of forgettable series? What, hell no!

Ehh, I don't know about forgettable. Like as much as they pave the ground, would Naruto and many other shonens even be a footnote compared to Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan if they came out today?

Was soooo hype when OP 1 started to play, only to have me bawling my eyes out a minute later. So perfectly executed.

yes bro you've got this one step at a time

I hope you hang in there. I felt the same from middle school through into my 20's. I am almost retired now, and still don't have many plans☺ Your identity should not be fully realized at this point, either, but continuously growing. Hope this helps.

You are young and have so much time to discover yourself, so please take your time! I think it's fine to think about what you want for yourself and your future, but not at the expense of enjoying your youth. There's no wrong time to decide what you want. Take this from a 28 year old (same age as Reigen, ha) woman that dropped out of college in my 2nd year and only recently decided what I really wanted to do.

Remember bro, changes don't happen over night. They happen one step at a time so just look for something you are intrested in and start to work. If you do it for long enough you will see the results eventually. That was another one of the great messages in the anime.

i'm almost in my 3rd year of my 20s and have almost nothing to show for it loll, take your time bro

Dude, same here. Probably my favorite isolated arc in anything I've seen/read.

It'd easily be the best arc in the show if they didn't reverse Dimple's sacrifice in the final arc

@user-jd1hc9ff1n dimple came back before, and his death was never confirmed.

@@guesta9822 point is they treated it like an important sacrifice with weight to it, Dimple erasing Mob's memory so Mob didn't know that he's dead.. Then they go and undo that in the final arc for little to no significant reason

@user-jd1hc9ff1n there was a reason. So Reigen can get help trying to talk to mob and we found out how spirits actually worked in season 2 so there was always a chance dimple would come back if he came back before.

Same here

Hello, brother

@@castformer17 lmao

It didn't need to add anything new, just finish the ones that were there since the beginning.

And not only devaluing/dehumanizing each other but also everything about them including those connected to them. Because both sides of Mob hadn't accepted their other half yet, they deceived themselves by calling that other side fake. And in the "???" side of Shigeo's case, since he rejected the Mob we knew in the series (and vice versa), he also rejected all of Mob's friends as fake too. (To an extent, he even was rejecting his family due to being suppressed in Mob for so long.)

@@wanna-be-thinker2377 That's such a good point! I love this show so much.

Same her dude! I was a 5'8" 10yo kid, and tru elem-high school i hurt some friends accidentally, to them it was a scratch on the knee, but slowly made me think of myself as harmfull to others. Get some standard "gifted child" síndrome, and sentimental rejections in there, and by the time i ended school at 22 i was ready to never interact with anyone meaningfully again, just work/drink/jackoff myself to dead. Miss Rona kinda saved my life, got me fired, depresed, and isolated; and in the process of picking myself up i learned that i was down all along. 33 now and just starting to see results of 3 years of work, this being better stuff is slow and hard AF. Cheers on our new lifes!

It’s pretty much FMA Brotherhood’s ending but better as far as the epilogue/ wrap up is concerned.

Normies need to stay away from mia

@@darkjudgeofd00m gatekeeping is lame, let people enjoy things.

@@kassyyar97 would be fine if normies didnt wany to ban or censor loli like mia but they do.
