Mob answers the web’s (mobgle’s) most searched questions!

the first one isnt a real search question, but the sentiment counts :,,,,)

now with part two :D

i love how reigen specifically picks on mob for being gullible and for letting himself be used by others – which is a BOLD MOVE for someone who is lying to and using him, but it’s such a realistic character trait that reveals so much of his inner turmoil. he resents how easy it’s been to use mob, he wishes mob would make things easier for his OWN conscience by calling him out on it, and of course he’s full of self-disgust over how he’s been taking advantage of mob’s good nature. he could alleviate the guilt by being honest, but he thinks that their relationship will end the moment he does, so he’d rather force mob’s hand than have to confess himself. and part of mob’s reluctance to accept the obvious truth – that reigen has been lying to him – has to be some shame over realizing that he bought the lie, hook line and sinker, for years! so hearing reigen constantly belittle him for being gullible? ouch! reigen is inadvertently pushing mob deeper into repression.

redraw of one of my fav mp100 panels……cant believe we’re gonna get this animated

out of the 90 or so panels that ONE devotes to the mental fight between shigeo and mob in mob psycho 100's confession arc -- from mob's conscious awareness of shigeo's presence to shigeo's eventual dissolution and assimilation of mob -- just seven show us that the child can actually be heard arguing with himself from the outside.

since the anime concluded its run last year, i've had those panels on my mind. studio bones only animated the largest one and relegated shigeo's speech on it to internal dialogue (much more on that decision here). they're so compelling that i decided to redraw them in my own style.

this is the seventh and last of them. it occurs just before shigeo smacks reigen in the head with a chunk of fallen city in hopes of scaring him off (it doesn't work).

its text reads:

｢他人が”僕”を飼い慣らすことはできない。モブの本当の姿を知ればあの人は僕を開放するよ。」 tanin ga boku wo kainarasu koto wa dekinai. mobu no hontou no sugata wo shireba ano hito wa boku wo kaihou suru yo. 'no one else will be able to tame me. now that he knows mob's true form, that man will set me free.'

[image ID: amidst swirling teal winds, hair wild and eyes aglow, a teenaged japanese boy wearing a gakuran and an eerily neutral expression muses 'tanin ga boku wo kainarasu koto wa dekinai. mobu no hontou no sugata wo shireba ano hito wa boku wo kaihou suru yo.' storm clouds are gathering around his eyes as he speaks, partially obscuring his face.]

Reunion

Reigen: It’s already dark, guess I lost track of time. —Sigh—- Another day passes…

Mob: Master Reigen: Those were such good times…. Mob: Master Reigen: Time passes so quickly. He’s an adult now, out living his own life…. Mob: Master…. Master…. Reigen: I miss him. I can still hear how he used to call me. Ugh I’m hopeless.

MASTER!

Mob: It’s been a while, Master Reigen Reigen: …………. Mob? 

Reigen: You…..Why are you here? What are you doing here? 

Mob: I was thinking back to old times, and I wondered if you’d miss me at all, so I decided to drop by. 

Reigen: Idiot! Of course I do!  Mob: I was only kidding Mob: Master, I was wondering if you wanted to go get some drinks, since I’m in town. I’m twenty now. 

Reigen: Well… um, I’m not really much of a drinker. (Thinks: Can we pick something else?) Mob: But I’d like to get drinks with you.  Reigen: Uh….Well, we both know I can’t say no to you. Mob: Just one drink 

Mob thinks: ah… he’s only had a few sips

Reigen: You’ve really grown up.

Mob: You’ve gotten older too, Master.

Reigen: Ugh, don’t remind me

Reigen: So you’re in college now yeah? You doing okay?

Mob: Yeah

Reigen: You ever encounter supernatural stuff anymore?

Mob: Occasionally But every time I do, I think of the things you taught me and the things we’ve been through together. And it’s through these experiences that I’m able to live a normal life.  Reigen: Haha you’re giving me waayy to much credit. 

Mob: No it’s true, meeting you was the best thing that happened to me. 

Mob: Uh…. are you crying? Reigen: Of course not

Reigen downs his drink in one go and falls forward onto the table Mob thinks: Has he had too much?

Reigen slurring: Moooobbb Mob thinks: Is he okay?…He’s really falling apart. Reigen: Awww look at your chubby cheeks, just like when you were little. Mob: Ugh not this side of him

Reigen pets his hair for a bit. Reigen: But… real talk. I’m really happy to be able to see you again.

Reigen: Mob…. you’ve grown up into a really good person. Mob: Of course I did…. I’m YOUR student after all.  By Gamtga on twitter

am i just supposed to accept someone’s hatred?

It’s heartbreaking but Mob was not at all happy to see Reigen arrive with the gun.

He knew there was nothing Reigen could do. They were apart and he couldn’t transfer his powers to him. More importantly, he couldn’t protect him.

And Reigen knew his presence wasn’t soothing Mob.

Asking him obvious questions, putting the whole blame for the situation on himself and taking it from Mob (it’s not that Mob told everyone he’d do it alone, it’s that Reigen let him go), and then even suggesting things will be fine… Reigen said all of that in a very calm and collected voice, despite the look on his face. He was doing it for Mob’s benefit. 

And since Mob was so fucked up, hearing it worked a bit, and it calmed him enough for I’m to finally faint from all the pain. His head knew Reigen wasn’t going to win, but his heart still believed him. 

Reigen loves dogs + dogs love Reigen = happy Reigen. Please consider:“)
