Don’t mind my sona guys I’m not a burn victim!

Old mob psycho sketch page

Uruguayan Miku (based on uruguayan Carnaval)

a little while ago i had a dream where the entire mp100 cast were dinosaurs, so. mp100 as dinosaurs of the late cretaceous

characters that aren't included in the drawings: tome - trinisaura, tsubomi - albertaceratops, dimple - uhh... he gets to be a token beelzebufo

(haircuts added for better recognition of characters)

there's this light you keep on chasing

Shou and his resistance team are based on the moon rabbit folktale (that's why he gets a haircut)

References are in his lackeys names / outfits + other

The story in short is about a rabbit who wanted to save a starving man, so he jumped into fire to become food for him. and then was rewarded for his kindness/self-sacrifice by being taken to live on the moon and he makes rice cakes there.

(other versions have different animals, an actual starving man or emperor or god; or the rabbit's gift is his image being carved on the moon (implied that he died in fire), or the rabbit making medicine on the moon)

Ootsuki 大月; 月tsuki means moon, hence the crescents on his outfit

Fukuda 福田:

- is interestingly the name of a company that makes medical technology stuff/ healthcare products

- 田da means rice field , hence the plant on the H and maybe the white knots is a visual cue for rice 

 While in the Japanese version the rabbit makes rice cakes , in the Chinese version the rabbit is making medicine instead, so that's also related to his healing powers.

Higashio 東尾: 

- hi 火 means fire 

- 餓死 gashi means starvation. (the only one I had to skip the official way its written but if I were to guess I dont think starvation would be directly part of a name so yea)

Shou:

 -Chinese zodiac sign: rabbit

- hair looks like fire

So, Shou is surrounded by moon rabbit references, and his arc is mainly about running away vs responsibility which parallels a story about self sacrifice (as kindness/virtuous mind you). That's reflected in wd arc and confession arc, as in both arcs Shou was prepared to die to stop Touichirou. 

Because in confession arc even though Touichirou’s plan was to sacrifice himself…..he explained how to do it to Shou. the one with the self sacrifice metaphor…()

Anyway, Shou getting a haircut in the epilogue symbolizes realizing that he shouldn't sacrifice himself for others sake, like letting go of the fire that the rabbit would've jumped into. 

Bonus here's an official poster celebrating otsukimi

spider-man and deadpool

So to recap,

Teru has a teru teru bozu motif (his name)- the weather charm paper dolls, that's why mob tells him they're the same for having a paper thin outer shell of an identity, and that's why in confession arc Teru is the one to wake mob -the paper thin outer shell of the Mob-Shigeo duality- up. It's also why he gets balded (bozu meaning bald/monk) and why there's no rain in confession arc.

Shou has a moon rabbit motif (his lackey's names + other)- fable about kindess/self-sacrifice, that's why he is shown to have similar abilities to his father as he tries constantly to reach him and is clear about his sense of responsibility to stop him from fucking up and saving him from his madness, and then in confession arc Touichirou explains how he is going to sacrifice himself in front of Shou.

Ritsu's name means law and when written differently means percentage, that's why in confession arc he reaches his first 100%. Then says he'll "confiscate" the bouquet.

Reigen's name is a pun on being blessed by the gods/gods making themselves known, and has meanings spirit and prosperous, and when written differently means heartless commoner*, that's why in confession arc he is possessed by Dimple, and is himself the one to successfully stop ???%, by confessing about a side of him he hides and dislikes because of his bad qualities.

And Dimple, well, of course, the reveal of Dimple's return is shown by none other than dimples on Reigen's cheeks.

Kageyama as a name has meaning of reflection/silhouette/shadow, in confession arc its about both Mob and Shigeo.

Mob and Shigeo are different readings of the same name*:

Mob's name is reference to being a background character, in confession arc he is pushed to the background and struggled to take back control.

Shigeo's name has meaning of thriving and husband*, in confession arc....I guess you can call it thriving.... and of course his driving force is his love for Tsubomi.

And of course, Takane Tsubomi's name means flower and her surname is a pun on "unattainable goal"*, and in confession arc she if gifted a flower, and the arc ends with a rejection.
