@@learn2draw716 what man

He still solves their problems he just tricks them about what they are actually paying for.

@@animewatcher102 Not to mention he does it for dirt-cheap too.

It is to show the similarity with our world. Most rich people in our world are like that

AnonEars Scamming his clients to lead healthy life style is a good way to put it

He still helps the people in good ways like good ass massages or just taking things out of a picture and he really cheap to, so yes he lying about what hes doing but still genuinely helps people with their problems and that's why I love Reigan man

You, sir, are correct

Right! Really wish I had people like that in my life when I was growing up, or even now!

I agree, cause early on I would've figured soon after they let Mob join their club, they'd get annoyed at how he doesn't improve or improves at such a minuscule rate, and can never keep up with him, so they would end up kicking him out of the club or at least distance themselves from him. This was early enough where I'd say a tone for the series wasn't concretely established, so I was free to make these types of speculations. I'll also add that one of my favorite things that a story can do is subvert the viewers expectations, such as making it seem like a simple, safe, by the numbers story at first glance, then turning into something more smart and elaborate. That leaves a better impression than a story that starts off smart and elaborate.

Seriously, I would definitely join them. All of them seems like a great person.

Fucking THANK YOU god damn did they not watch the anime

@@knine53 They did, but there seems to have been a misunderstanding or two in terms of the terminology "Espers" as it refers to all those with psychic powers and not just to those of CLAW and Mob's emotions and how they connect to his powers. To be fair the first explosion in a rage based one and one of the most memorable is the one where he's fighting to save Ritsu.

athroughzdude Though the meter thing does say stress

@@athroughzdude When he was first fighting to save Ritsu it was considered 100% animosity (teki) where as the first one ever was 100% rage (ikari). I don't think any of two his emotional outbursts are labeled the same. It's kind of nitpicking though. I think people get the point regardless.

This show can be a bit confusing when it comes to "???" and "___%". This video gets a few things wrong. Here's a breakdown: “100%” is NOT Mob’s “power level”. It is a representation of how much he allows himself to feel an emotion. Mob’s story is his journey toward rediscovering old and new emotions that come with adolescence. It is stated multiple times that Mob locked away his emotions after a violent incident when he was younger and developed a complex around it. I’m incredibly annoyed by those who really don’t pay attention to this important fact. In the fight with Teru, “???” is an entirely different entity inside mob and it is hinted that it is the same entity that resulted in his brother’s injury when they were younger (It takes over when Mob is unconscious. Meaning, the narrative “counter” doesn’t register emotion which is why it is “???” instead of a percent). Mob only reaches “100%” (Sadness) when he regains consciousness and puts the school back together with that emotional surge. He personally believes that he causes these terrible incidents when he gets too emotional, but he is mistaken. Which is why there is a certain tragedy to Mob’s emotional complex.

I do think it was a slap against the assumption that they would be mean just because they are kind of muscle heads. And maybe a wakeup call to us lightweight geeks to not make the dumb assumptions that many feel victim of.

I fucking love them. They're all such good people.. Musashi is my favourite character. Theres never any mocking, teasing or even having a superiority complex towards mob. They show nothing but support and care for his wellbeing!

The gym is a friendlier place than you might realize

Very true. They're genuinely good guys that actually do want to help Mob. They don't make fun of him or ridicule him when he fails. In fact, the Body Improvement Club is the physical representation of what Mob wants to be. He wants the satisfaction that comes from hard work. He wants the confidence that comes from being comfortable with who you are.

When I first started lifting I was blown away by how cool most of the guys at the gym were. I think most of my perception of them came from the shitty jocks in high school, but as an adult I realize that those kids were just playing into a role they felt they had to in order to thrive in a bad environment. I bet a lot of those guys could have been my friends if we could have stopped being so afraid of...everything, ha ha.

Nah, season 2 spit on every theme explored in this video and turned mob psycho into a pretty generic action anime.

@@jellyfishi_ yeah, maybe Sorry, english not first language lol but thanks anyway for correcting me (Also, goddamn it's been 9 months, I could've given birth to someone in this time lol)

You're special and unique, just like everyone else.

I also think it is along the lines of not viewing different people as "inferior" or "superior " Everyone goes through things, has strengths, has weaknesses

I always saw the shows messege being, "you aren't born special and thats ok, but if you want to be special you need to work hard towards it." Course that's just one part of it.

yeah I love this idea from season 2 where Mob was lecturing the artificial espers about how everything was possible because a lot of people came together from various special fields to work and build the city they're in.

To be fair, Hellsing also makes that argument. Hellsing argues what it means to be human sure, but at the same time it acknowledges that humans are strong not just in spite of their limitations, but because of them. That life is worth living not because of its intrinsic value, but because it is a finite resource that we all have access to and all will end up struggling through until the bitter and vicious end. That's why Alucard's belief that only humans can destroy monsters is kind of beautiful, because it says that only the limited and the powerless can stop what is essentially power devoid of humanity and responsibility.

Agreed and accepting that youre not special can help you become an all around better person, i just wish more shows would give people reality checks like Mob.

Ah yes, the moral of "if you have extraordinary abilities that could change the world for the better, tell the world to go fuck itself because you wanna get you some poon-tang."

@@LupineShadowOmega Personally, I prefer Mob Psycho but that's just because I preferred how 'down to earth' its messages were.

The message is literally responsibility for yourself. Take up responsibility and find meaning.

Reigen is a good guy.

Greatest duo of all time mob and reigan

For some reason I can't bring myself to start the second season, probably because I liked the first one too much and am afraid of ruining it, but as of season 1 I fucking hate Reigan

@@Dr.Spatula season 2 shits on season 1

@@kungfubrandon6886 good to know! Since it's half over I'll wait to binge it

Hang on there, I spent about 3 years wasting my time at uni (not going to classes, not getting a diploma, not seeing anyone) and feeling like the most useless piece of shit in the world, considering suicide etc. Eventually I found a decent low-requirement desk job, learned to chat with people again (coworkers then some new people and friends) and finally moved out on my own. This is not the dream life I fantasized about but this is a good life, and there is still much I can and should improve. If I can do it, anyone can. All it takes is one step in a less shitty direction than where you are currently at.

@@Chaotic4Neutral thank you, listening to people who went through the same issues is helping me a lot. My sister that's living on another continent dealt with the same less than a year ago and skyping with her gives me a lot of hope

Hey dude everyone passes trough similar situations, you work on fixing that anxiety even if you don't know how to, as long as you don't give up as simple as it sounds it really works, I was like that at the same age a couple years ago (I'm 21 now) and I can assure you, everything will end up fine.

@@ericcartman1328 I haven't been watching the latest season yet. I'll watch it when I get out of hospital

I went through something very similar myself last year actually (granted on a bit of a smaller scale) I have been moving around a lot in the past couple years and this combined with other family issues which I won't bother getting into caused me to fall into a seriously bad rut which lasted around two months. And honestly the best advice I could give for what helped me was to just ease back into things bit by bit and not to force it all at once because when I did that at first it kind of just reversed any recovery I had made. I also know that just talking with people who have had similar experiences helps a lot so all the best with getting back into education or taking a different path once you're feeling up to it again.

That's kinda the point. The city is named Seasoning City and everything in it is named after seasoning

I feel like getting to the central point of MP100 would need going into the source material, or at least season 2 as well. Because it's mainly as the series goes on that we actually see this development from Mob more and more, especially coming to one of its biggest heads during the Mogami arc and the Reigan arc. At that point it'd just be a full-on spoiler-filled story discussion of the entire series, which I feel like isn't really the idea of The Philosophy of [. . .]

@Mac Loud That's just rude. It's not like anything he said was wrong or anything.

​@Mac Loud Lol, it really is inevitable bumping into these armchair psychologists online. I never said anything about depression, I was talking about emotional repression. Maybe you're incapable of making observations about a show's themes without projecting, but I assure you that's not what I'm doing. Get your head out your ass a little, re-read what I originally said, and realize how your comment doesn't apply.

@Mac Loud Something tells me you still don't get it.

@Mac Loud Hah, you see anyone else here who tried psychoanalyzing a stranger based on how he interpreted a tv show? It describes what you did to a T. If you don't like the sound of it, you can maybe not do it anymore.

Totally. While Saitama is quite lazy and is searching for a good fight. Mob is trying to have a good healthy life without his ability.

​@@badrecords-6476 Mob is searching for something that challenges him without his abilities. Saitama on the other hand is searching for something that can face his abilities head on. And I'm quite torn between which two is better. Do you leave your adventure because you have become "perfect" in it? Or do you continue your search of something more grandeur?

i think that would be like 60% of people who watch mob psycho, me included

The point of psychic abilities: moving as little as possible

I find that hard to believe sir. With all due respect, if you were place in a situation to accumulate massive influence and wealth by the use of your power's very few people could persevere such a temptation. How about the person you desire most in the whole world has a partner that's not you, are you telling me you wouldn't use your powers? I know it's a quibble but just being the devil's advocate here people, at least it stimulates conversation.

I rather have reigens persona than to be an esper tbh

@@The6Master6Mind6 I wouldn't, I in particular am not very fond of attention XD And considering how the abuse of power is a current theme nowadays, i think not that many people would fall into those mistakes. Also what do you mean desiring someone to be your partner and using your powers, do you mean like mind control...? I'm gonna assume it's to wow them, but if they're only into you because of your power, they'll never be the love you yearn for. That becomes noticeable after a while. (Don't mind the wealth, but again just to be lazy and play videogames all my life :D)

I can think of one entity you can say that to...

I'm not sure how true that is. Neither protag really goes out of their way to use their powers in any meaningful way. What's the point of having that kinda power if you never use it for anything? Saitama just lives a mundane life when he could be roaming around looking for challenges, or conquering, or doing literally anything that took advantage of his nigh-invulnerability, and Mob just wants to get the girl he has a crush on to notice him, and he doesn't even get that. What we have here are heroes who refuse the call to action, and spend most of the story continuing to do so until it's almost done. Yes, riveting stuff, that.

@@Jebbtube Saitama does go around looking for challenges. That's a big reason why he became a hero but he hasn't had any luck yet. He often runs to a scene and the big bads are either gone or still go out in one punch. Mob is just trying to live his best life and his concerns are pretty age appropriate. There is not really a call to action to refuse since the world or even many lives are not in danger like in most of these stories.

Because that's not the point. They have no interest in those things. Saitama DID go out looking for challenges..and there were none. By 2 years in, he could destroy everything on the planet (and the planet itself) in 1 punch if he felt like it (and even threatened to do so at one point after getting really stressed out). His last hope was Boros, something from beyond their world, who failed him and showed him that there was no hope to ever get that original battle high back even out in the universe at large, since by that point his every hero excuse had been shown a lie. saitama was massively depressed and listless, and was desperate for ANYTHING to distract him that, clinging to his hero for hobby work because it temporarily distracted him his problems, but soon it too got boring Thats why he basically gives up after Boros, and only gets a new spark reignited after his talk with King (though it takes awhile for him to figure out what he really wants to do, since as with his hero excuses, his throwing himself into video game addiction was just running away from the problem again). Mob is no different, and is struggling what societal pressure wants him to be (either in terms conforming like a Drone or expecting him to solve all of it's problems as a savior), when he doesn't actually want any of that. Touchiro got the same call Mob did, and took it to logical conclusion, becoming a Tyrant, because he let the desires of society to fix all it's problems for it crush his self during his trek around the world idealistically hoping to fix all the evils of the world but at cost of everything he personally held dear as he martyr'd himself for heroism, which eventually the realities of the world crushed his idealism into cynicism and eventually nihilism and decided to just fill that void inside him by going to the extremes of hedonism and domination to distract himself from his pain and emptiness and came to view his own life as so worthless due to that loss of self (despite his claims to contrary that he's overly selfish) that it would only have real meaning if he could lay a permanent Scar on the world that it would remember forever.

i am not enitely sure that was unintentional. When you look close you can find a lot of detail. Maybe i am imagening it but that is why i am not sure.@Yump Bagle

@Yump Bagle demi-chan wa kataritai did a similar thing with "body disability" as I could say, I highly recomend this one either, its out of the curve

@ Yump Bagel -- It really could be intentional, as a way of breaching the idea that Japan needs to improve things like it's mental health systems and to get rid of the stigma surrounding things like therapy and the need for it. As crap as the mental health support systems (and similar support systems for people who have things like autism) are here in the US, in Japan they're about 10x worse, and nearly all of it is for social and societal reasons. It's why, even in modern settings, anime and manga seem to act like therapists don't exist -- because for them, they actually DON'T.

I relate to Mob as well, when it comes to his introversion, and his difficulties with school. And how mob suppresses his emotions and bursts out in certain moments, I tend to do that a lot. Plus I also have younger brother who had a more positive reputation than me and was seen as better '^^

Why not?

@@Ankit-vl8hb You'll forgive someone who bullied and humiliated you for 10 years just by him apologizing? I won't. The main idea of Endeavor and Bakugo is that they don't apologize because that literally does nothing, they rather show that they had changed than speak.

The fact that, as u mentioned b4, that the only one that can be compared to mp100 is opm, which these two were made by the same author, really says something. I guess u can say a show like these two could be their own genre on itself

@@akiratakanashi2385 It's true that the mangaka has a very unique style of storytelling. It's more about deconstruction of certain tropes instead of just following the typical shonen formula. When it comes to the trope "OP protagonist just wants a normal life" you can also watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K which focuses more on comedy than character development. People who compare Mob Psycho 100 to MHA just because the espers have superpowers don't really understand the core of the first series and what it's trying to tell. MHA doesn't do anything new with the genre and just follows the same old formula. It's basically Naruto but with superheroes.

How did you fix your flat feet? I thought it was a genetic thing that can't be fixed?

@@gentlekef8653 There's two kinds of flat feet - stable flat feet and flexible flat feet. The former is impossible to fix. This is a flat foot where even when you aren't load bearing on your foot, it's flat. The latter is possible to fix. This is a flat foot where there is an arch until you put weight on the foot, after which it collapses. The flexible flat foot is partially caused by genetics and if I didn't exercise 4 - 5 days a week, I wouldn't keep my arch. It's caused by weak joints and muscles in the structures of the foot and lower body chain. There are a dozen ways to fix your arch, but one thing I feel is important to recognize is that sometimes fixing your arch is actually fixing your shoulders and neck. Our whole body is connected. I "fixed my arches" and began working on other parts of my body, only to find when I fixed my neck and shoulders, my ARCH suddenly felt even stronger, like my upper body was pulled on my lower body chain to maintain good posture and further pulling up my arch. the basic exercises are: short foot contractions, a trillion short foot contractions. Doing stretches for your toes. Learning the importance of your big toe to stable foot posture. Reinforcing the stable tripod of your foot, and other lower body chain exercises like calf raises, lunges, squats, etc. It's been years since I worked on my arches so I'm a bit rusty - these days I'm mostly focused on my shoulders and wrists. google it though. Honestly, there are great postural guides out there. I'm entirely self-taught. You learn from experience what works and what doesn't. It's all trial and error. I'm... 3 years into my complete body transformation. Does not happen overnight. But I think for most people, just knowing it's even possible is a HUGE boost. Now, I may be a special case because I have hypermobile joints. While they're a curse inasmuch as they collapse without regular attention, they're a blessing because I can do absolutely ridiculous stretches which may not be available to regular people and may have helped me with my work. Regardless of this fact, you can ALWAYS be better off than you were before. Even if you never fix your issues completely, you can definitely improve them. I would focus on correcting gait, weaning yourself off orthotics if you can, learning how to breathe diaphramatically, improving your upper body posture, and strengthening your core and glutes. If you do these things you will find life far less painful
