Our protagonist from Mob Psycho 100 is
Shigeo Kageyama. Most people just call
him Mob. When Mob was young he learned
about his extraordinary psychic powers
that are linked to his emotion. That's
why Mob tries really hard to keep his
emotions in check. This might be part of
the reason why Mob is socially awkward.
It's totally fine. Mob is still young.
Anyway at the start of the series Mob
in 14 years old and in 8th grade. He's 157.7
centimeters which is about 5.2
feet tall. Mob also come in at 44.3
kilograms or about 90 pounds. He's a
pretty light guy. For Mob's birthday that
May 12th. You may have also noticed
that Mob's expressions resemble certain
other powerful hero. The Creator from
Mob Psycho 100 is One. That's the same guy
that made One Punch Man. So no surprise
to see some similarities between the two
series. Fan of both of these series
even like the joke around that Mob might
actually be related to Saitama somehow.
We know the main character of the series
as Mob. A little bit into the series he
also gained the second nickname, White T
Poison. Even further into the manga
there's a group of people that know him
as Psycho Helmet. More on this later. Let
me go ahead and bring back up the first
nickname Mob. This totally seemed like a random
nickname at first. It turns out that the
origins of it is right in front of you
though. Mob's real name is Shigeo. It's
written with the two kanji characters
that you get to see on-screen. Kanji
characters actually often have more than
one way of reading them. Shigeo
it's one way. MO for the first kanji
and BU for the second kanji is another
option. Put them together and Mob(u).
In
case you were wondering about Mob's
eating habits Mob's favorite foods
include takoyaki, milk, and ramen. Mob's
least favorite foods include cilantro,
yokatta, and locust. Yeah I'm not exactly
a fan of bugs either. Are you?
Then again those cricket chips that are
supposedly getting super popular. I
wouldn't mind giving them a shot.
It should be fine anyway when you can't
tell what it is right?
The cast of Mob Pyscho
100 is filled with a bunch of talented
veteran voice actors. The voice actors
for Mob's teacher / master Reigen is
Takahiro Sakurai. You most likely already
know him as the Knight of Zero Suzaku. The
voice actor for Mob's brother Ritsu is
Miya Irino. You might know him from
Fate Zero as Kiritsu Emiya. He also
have a Code Guess relation as a Akito.
And then the voice actor for Dimple is
Akio Ootsuka. You'll definitely recognize
him as Batou from Ghost in the Shell. Now
can you take a guess at the impressive
season voice actor for Mob? In the
original Japanese version Mob is voiced by
Setsuo Itou. The really interesting part
is that this guy has only ever voice two
characters so he's a total newbie! Mob
is actually his first role as a main
character. Pretty fortunate
wouldn't you say? It turns out that picking
a young unknown voice actor for this
role was totally intentional by the
studio. It was just perfect for someone like
him to portray someone like Mob.
It turns out that Mob has his own
secret fan base in his own world. After
the LOL Cult was disbanded by Mob the
old members decided to form the group or
rather a new cult. This new one was called
the Psycho Helmet Cult. We do get a glimpse of
this group in the anime. A bit later after
the events of the anime the cult is 700
members strong. As Mob continues to help
some rich clients some of these guys
start becoming rich benefactors and
start donating a good chunk to this new
cult. As of chapter 95 in the manga the
Psycho Helmet Cult has over half a
million members.
So are you interested in joining?
In the series
Mob goes ahead and shows off his arsenal
of psychic abilities.
Here's all of them. Spiritual Awareness. Mob is
able to sense other psychic-type users
up to 20 kilometers away. They even do
hint that he could possibly go even
further!
Telekinesis. This is one of the primary
power you see used by Mob. Mob is capable of
moving huge buildings with telekinesis
or just use it on itself to fly. Mob is
able to use this to create forcefields too
to protect him from harm.
And lastly Mob is able to destroy and
rebuild matter at will them. Psychic
energy absorption. Mob is able to drain
the energy from other Espers or from
their energy attacks. So far Mob has only
shown this ability while at 100
percent emotions or in a super special
awesome triple ? mode. Energy transfer. One of
the highlighting moments in this series is
Mob's transfer of energy to Reigen. Reigen
unknowingly becomes extremely
overpowered for once. Astro
projection. This disability comes up a
little bit later in the manga. Mob uses
this to transfer his spirit self into other
people's mind and body. Chlorokinesis.
Mob is able to use his psychic powers to
influence plants and make them rapidly
grow and mature. So yeah quite the list.
Which one of these do you find the most useful?
Talking about mob psychic abilities, ever
wonder how Mob would compare to other
Espers? The author of the series One has
actually given us an idea using his
other work. I'm sure you remember.
Tatsumaki. She's the strongest Esper in the
One Punch Man universe. One claims that that
Tatsumaki is stronger than normal Mob.
However if she's going against the
serious Mob One says that there isn't
any answers at least not yet anyway. But
anyway forget Esper vs Esper. How about a
different matchup.
Mob vs One Punch. Which one do you bet
your money on?
One of the interesting parts about
the Mob sycho series is seeing the
protagonist Mob continuing to grow. Mob
in particular is morally opposed against
using his powers against humans. However
Mob shows absolutely no hesitation
against taking out spirits with these
powers. There is an instance where this is
different from the manga to anime. In
the first episode of the anime where Mob
and Reigen are visiting a tunnel filled
with spirit Mob goes ahead and
damages this big buff one and just
weakens it. He then goes ahead and takes
out the a big spirit at the end.
Contrast this to the manga. In this
version is there is no other bigger
spirit so that original blue muscle
spirit is wiped out by Mob without a
second thought.
One of the biggest highlights of
the Mob Psycho anime is just waiting for
Mob's emotions to explode!
We get a taste of a few of these
emotions at one hundred percent in the
anime. Time for you to know about all of
them.
There's Anger 100% shown in
episode 3. Animosity 100%. This
was unleashed in episode 8 verses a battle
against that other Esper. There's Gratitude
100%. We saw this during the fight
with the 7 division Claw leader. It was
when Reigen became badass. As for the other
emotions shown in the manga so far.
There's Courage 100%.
Tenacity 100%. Friendship
100%. Ecstasy 100%. Shame
100%. Compassion 100%.
Sadness 100% Resignation 100%.
Kindness 100%. Getting carried away
100% and no I'm not making
this one up. And finally Trust 100%
Triple ? percent mode. This mode is the
most powerful form that Mob capable of.
This is supposed to be a special state
that Mob enters when he becomes
unconscious. Just who or what is in
control of Mob during this still yet
haven't been completely revealed. Because
of this there have been a bunch of fan
theories trying to give us an answer.
There's even that sequence at the very
beginning of the anime.
It showed off this all-powerful mode
destroying everything in sight. This was
not in the manga. It just makes people
wonder even more about it. There are some
theories that this godlike creature must
be deep within him.
We do get some hints of this in the manga.
In an instance of this state when Mob
is in this dream world we do get this quote
from his opponent. "If your vessel is
broken
that is what's inside of you." This heavily
suggests that whatever this it''s not
part of Mob's psychic abilities.
Instead it's a separate entity
altogether.
