I cried at Reigen's birthday. Probably the first time he had close friends for a long time
Incredible ending to the series. Really beautiful!
I want to also point out that when Toichiro tries to fight mob in the final arc he ultimately decides to retreat with his son. He decided that it was okay to run away which is exactly what Reigen told Mob in their first encounter with Claw, further cementing Reigen’s lessons as the thematic back bone of this incredible series.
That's a great point and another spot where Mob Psycho is an anti-power fantasy where running away is sometimes a better option than stubbornly forcing yourself into bad and risky situations.
@@KBWanimei was thinking that if Toichiro decided to sacrifice himself to save mob (im imagining he would likely die in the process or be in critical condition). It would not only cause the situation to not change, but also worsen. Him stopping mob would just be delaying the inevitable, since it doesnt stop the root problem of mob and shigeo denying each other. But it could also hurt his son mentally, and possibly make his son (cant remember his name so im calling him son) afraid or even subconsciously hate mob. So in my opinion, running away was ONE of the best option.
I think that's true. It's been shown how insanely powerful Mob is compared to everyone else. Toichiro would probably just die instantly. It's also kind of commenting on the redemption trope where so many characters sacrifice themselves for their redemption, but that's not really redeeming anything and he has to live for his son.
I freaking love how from the perspective of some characters, Reigen is a master psychic that dealt with the entire scar division by himself (season 1 finale), defeated the most powerful warping psychic (season 2 finale), and could stop Mob when he went nuclear (season 3 finale)
If the show wasn't called Mob Psycho, Reigen could perfectly be the main character in a comedy show about a con-man psychic getting involved in real pshychic organization shenanigans, and everyone freaking falls for it
Absolutely! He's such a great character! The best shows have multiple characters that could be a main character. It's amazing when the author puts that much effort into each character.
There's a spinoff manga REIGEN which I highly recommend reading
I have read it, and it's great!
He’s exactly like King from OPM
@@janterri3539 Reigen is better though
I read a comment on Reigen's running. It stated that in Japan, pulling your shoes off indicates suicidal intentions. It showed that Reigen was willing to die to get through to Mob. That's how good of a person Reigen really is at his core; the best anyone should aim to be really.
Woah I didn’t know that, that’s such a good detail
I think it also showed that reigen absolved mob of intent if he had died. Not only does it show how determined reigen was, but him taking off his shoes for what could have been a final act showed that mob wasn't the one to kill him- he did that to himself.
SELF DEFENSE RUSH: It's an attack were shouts self defense Incase it's not actually self defense.
Reigen teaches so many practical life lessons.
In case it’s not clear
Another little detail i love, when he first met dimple, he REFUSED to let him posses him. He never trusted dimple with his body and always had his eyes on him. But the moment he needed to get to mob, he lets dimple help him despite everything, and got to mob because of this.
That's a great perspective. Mob Psycho 100 is pretty much an antithesis of typical shonen mangas/animes.
And even with its parody aspects, it's an incredible story. It does everything so perfectly!
My favourite part of MOB Psycho 100 is probably the lack of fight scenes, weirdly enough. Whenever there's supposed to be an actual fight, they just skip to whoever won because Shonen normally puts such a big emphasis on big fights, even though it's obvious who's going to win and how they're going to do it. Maybe that was the inspiration for One Punch Man.
@connordarvall8482 i think one punch man came in older than mp100, but i definitely agree with you mp100 is such a clever use of storytelling using tropes as its advantage
Hopefully what I'm saying make sense lmao
When you can trust a con-man more than your barber. 😢
XD Reigen is just special.
@@KBWanimeindeed
@@KBWanime”no one is special”
Reigen wasn’t lying when he said he was the only reason they Mob was able to control his power
Reigen is a good mentor for Mob.
What I love about the Shigeo-Reigen dynamic is basically that they are the antithesis to Rick and Morty dynamic. The latter has this sort of toxic-codependence with each other that they would never want to admit to one another; while Reigen despite his con-man tendencies, actually teaches Mob how to be a better person. Reigen takes advantage of Mob's powers, that much is certain, but he genuinely cares about the kid like his own friend or nephew. It's a good subversion of the parasitic trope in fiction and the fact that the show ends with Reigen admitting to Mob that he was a conman to which mob already knew is what makes this series so powerful to me. Reigen teaches Mob how to be a good person by being the idealized version of himself, in turn, Reigen seeks to be more like his idealized self and improves himself. He makes mistakes here and there but he's always there to pick himself and the others around him back up. That's why to me Reigen, despite his absurd con man persona, is actually a really admirable person - not perfect, but that makes him even more admirable
Absolutely! That's my exact thoughts on his character
I absolutely agree. I’ve said it and I’ll keep saying it that’s the great thing about Reigen is that a lot of people feel like they’re bad at being a person but with the way that Reigen fails and how he still so charismatic anyway it tells you it’s OK to be bad at being a person because he doesn’t tell you to be good at being a person he said to be a good person that is all, kindness is the key to your charm. It’s a nice thought that you don’t have to succeed at being, you just have to be kind.
And she shows that pursuing being a good person is better than forcing yourself into a box of right and wrong. He fails sometimes but the way he becomes truly sorry and changes is what's so great about him.
Honestly, i knew how empactful this salt exorcist was from the start .
Lmao me too, literally the opening scene with Reigen I was thinking, "Alright this guy fucking rules."
A part of Reigen's arc in season 2 that you didn't mention is that Reigen basically has no one else in his life other than Mob, and it seems like he didn't realize it because of how busy he usually is. He'd gotten used to having someone to talk to, and with Mob gone he was painfully lonely.
Great essay here, obviously Reigen is the star child of One's Mob Psycho 100, but this video explains why from your perspective explained thoroughly
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
If Saul Goodman and Joseph Joestar had a child
XD
Top ten real people who are more powerful than goku
Reigen is a catalyst to Mob, this series will suck without his intervention.
He is a huge part of the story and a wonderful character
Bro why is this channel so underrated bruh it actually kinda makes me mad
I'm getting there! Comments like these and likes and just watching helps me not be so underrated, so I really appreciate it :)
Something else is not wearing shoes symbolizes with suicided, and Reigen before trying to stop Mob in season 3 takes his shoes off to show that he'll risk his life for him.
for real. Mob one of the greatest shows of all time for me. With Reigen the Goat.
Totally agree! One of the best ever! It's nearly perfect!
@@KBWanime pure facts. Also love your stuff😭🫶
Thank you! :)

This is what i needed to hear, many times i would ask myself if my decisions are right, but what matters more is that you do good things with genuine heart even if it turns out to be a mistake, even Levi from Aot said: "The only thing we're able to do is to believe we made the right decision" Because ultimately you can't change the future and most certainly you cannot change the world, so burden yourself by taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong
Intentions are very important! It's a good lesson Reigen teaches. He's very practical which is one of the best parts of him.
reigen is my comfort character
If I was a girl I would marry him tbh
Mob psycho 100 changes the way you think about anime in general. It deserves all the appreciation it gets
Absolutely! It is a brilliant series!
thank you, that's an awesome video about the best anime!
Thank you for watching it! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :) I've got a few more videos on Mob Psycho on the channel if you want to check them out!
Wow.. This vid made me want to rewatch Mob Psycho again!! Reigen's development is so underrated, I loved the video. Good job :)
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching! :)
Not even 1k views is a crime this is a great video keep it up and you'll go far :)
Thanks :) I was expecting it to do a little better after the first few days, but I figured out the problem and now it's gaining traction.
@@KBWanime I'm glad you deserve the views! I'm looking forward to seeing this channel grow :D u earned this sub
I appreciate it! I'll try to make it interesting! :)
Awesome video! With this kind of production quality I was sure you'd have more like 50k subscribers, definitely worth a like and subscribe!
Thank you! Really appreciate that :) 50k subscribers would be awesome, but I'm going for 1k for now XD
Great video brother thank you for your hard work
I appreciate it! Thanks! :)
Sick analysis dude, that was awesome
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
14:12 you forgot his manical laughter during the s2 finale.
This is so good. You've put this together so eloquently! You said everything I've always been trying to say perfectly haha.
Thank you! It's nice hearing that :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@KBWanime I'm just gonna direct people to this video when I start rambling about how awesome Reigen is
Reigen is so great! Thanks for the support!

digimon still lives on inside of small references that were not meant
XD Yep. I have never seen a single episode of Digimon
His anti-esper drop kick is so incredibly powerful, it nearly killed a high power physic in one attack.
It's one of the most powerful attacks in all of anime!
@@KBWanime Shame it only works on espers
I love how season 3 is a perfect metaphor for the shadow and persona
love this
Thanks!
wish i could like this video more than once
I appreciate it! Glad you liked it! XD
Awesome analysis of my favorite anime character!
Glad you liked it! He is such an incredible character!
He’s been my favorite since episode 1
Same!
I want to see an edit of that one scene in which reigen is at an interview with the public and somehow causes some kind of psychic tremor.
Bro predicted the future
@@Stefan2010a fr
Bruh,, this video is great! I rlly hope you get more attention ^^
Thanks! It's been ramping up! This and a few other videos have done really well!
I just loved that the scene after the press conference is basically ''When reigen needed mob the most, mob was there for him, he didn't care about the worlds acknowledgement, all he needed in that moment was mob's acknowledgement''
Just as when mob needed reigen the most, reigen was there for him as seen in the last episode where he helps mob accept his ??? Part of himself.
It's such a good relationship because they both need each other and Reigan shows that to mob as well. It's so well done!
@@KBWanime It's unbelievable that you actually responded on such an old video tysm! 😁
But back to the topic, indeed I love their relationship so so much, it's done so well. It's even more well done when you realize that even tho mob used his powers back then to make the camera's float etc, the media still didn't believe reigen as they thought it was just some cgi or vfx that were being used. That makes the message of ''I know my master is a good person'' hit so much harder, all reigen wants to be happy in life is to feel that mob actually appreciates him for who he is and not what he does.
And finally after the last season got animated I came back to this scene because it just made me remember how their relationship is based on both of them and not just one of them, as even tho reigen had no powers at all, he usually runs away from strong ghosts etc he went face to face against the scariest being alive that being ??? Because his friend needed him. He did not hesitate at all to give mob the same helping hand he gave him at that moment and basically every other moment since he needs him for the excorsisms he does on a daily basis.
Such a beautiful written story.
I'm not that popular yet so I still see every comment XD
It is a beautiful story. There's so much complexity, nuance and depth. Reigan is more confident, bold and deals with stressful situations better in general, but he still isn't that much different than mob and struggles with the same things his student does. They are both so realistic and human despite the supernatural setting and abilities. It's so cool!
@@KBWanime your content makes it seem like you are infact a big youtuber, I thought you had millions of subs, it's so well made and the points you talk about are very interesting.
But indeed I love their dynamic so muchhh
Thanks! I appreciate hearing that. Hopefully I'll get there
nice video bro!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
I knew Reigen was the best, now I now why
That's why I made the video! :)
His cry when he got rejected was worth mentioning. It's a genuine cry of a kid, a person, not a cry that broke him, but simply sadness
Reigen is not Mob's Father...he is the Father that Stepped up
Raigen is the rizz god
He absolutely is XD
this is super duper high quality! the presentation's great yeah but the video is super well written too, i wish you the best of luck with everything jn life
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It makes the work worth it :)
I love this show so much
It's so good!
“You’re a good guy”
I bawl like a child
Amazing video!
Thank you!
Yeah, I think there's an episode, too. we're a woman who mentions to him that she went to another spychkic and sold her an expensive rock, and he felt bad for the women
this is why i like video essays, when i watch anime i just go "wooh... flashie people diey :D". after watching video essays i get a new perspective.
Yeah. Same XD I usually have to have a second watch of a series before I catch the less obvious stuff. I'm glad you liked the video!
@@KBWanime eyes are for watching, ears are for listening, I watch for the action, and listen for the lore.
Those are the words that describe the perfect watch, keep up the good essays :)
Thanks! I'll do my best!
One of the themes of Mob Psycho is the acceptance of Normalcy. Japan is a nation of tradition and rich culture but also of conformity. Maybe conformity kills individuality to an extreme degree and Animes, being fiction, is a criticism to this. But was being a normal average person really bad? The story of every law abiding citizen can still be different even if they eat the same thing and shit the same thing. The most powerful psychic and the Luckiest conman might just have the same kind of life but different stories. And it comes down to how they live their life. Youth is essential as it's their formative years but growth is still available regardless of age as long as you can accept your flaws and apologize so you can do better. And most of the time you won't realize it by yourself. You may wait for another to reach your hands or allow yourself to be closer to them by extending your hands first.
I love that his super power is gaslighting
One of the most powerful abilities you can have!
Re-reading now - first time in years and confirming that he is the best - not just a first impression. If Netflix ever decides to make a new adaptation that's good (on the level of One Piece, not like the old one), Regen needs to be someone cool and charismatic.
"No one is really special" - not true, Regen is special ;)
W vid loved it
Glad you did!
I personally dont interpet reigen's confession at the end as him admitting he is powerless. Mob knows, and he's probably known since some point in season 1.What i see this admission as, is reigen confiding in mob his insecurities about being a liar, that he feels he has to lie to everyone around him because they wouldnt like who he really is.
Yeah. I think you're right. Season two showed that Mob saw Reigen as a good guy, which shows he doesn't really care what Regien is, but when he tells him he isn't powerful, it shows he trusts Mob despite mob losing control and feeling insecure about all his failings.
love this show
I always highly recommend English speakers watch the show through the English dub, the dub cast is great but mainly because of Chris Niosi, he absolutely kills it and embodies the character
I've seen some clips and he does a great job, but "Oi, Mobu!" will always be iconic
I got really attached to English Reigen almost instantly. Somehow played him with as much charisma and confidence as he deserved.
Asssination classroom is a shonen?
Also 0:59 I swear I remember Reigens stare being more intimidating then THAT😭😭
Yep. It was serialized in a shonen magazine.
XD Mob Psycho has a style
@@KBWanime 🤯, tbh I’m not really sure what makes a shonen I’ve only heard of it from anime videos of Pom or mob pycho
Shonen is just a demographic. Like we have children's, YA, and adult books. Shonen translated means something like young boy. It's like 12-18 years old. So some shonen are geared younger than others.
However, when a lot of people talk about shonen, they are generally talking about what shonen jump magazine usually puts out. Things like One Piece, Haikyuu, Dragon Ball, Black Clover, etc.
@@KBWanime oh thanks
Yep!
Bro i knew he was the coolest guy in the anime
And to think that to some people
He is the one that solved every arc
i will miss reigen
I already do
@@KBWanime i just finished mob psyco s3 day before yesterday....now its my second favourite anime .master Reigen was so amazing.....my fav character 🥲
He is the best! Mob Psycho has also made it to my second favorite anime. It's absolutely incredible storytelling and is really fun to watch.
@@KBWanime yeah 🥲
Reigan has the same power as Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. He doesn't have any psychic powers of his own but by gaslighting the psychics around him he's powerfull. Ironically making him better at fighting mentally then those with mental powers then regular people.
i think one of the best parts is when he stops mob with dimple's help, dimple said he cpuld being out people's latent psychic abilities, that means IF reigan actually had phychic abilities he would possibly be equal with mob or stronger then mob
And Reigen's greatest strength has always been his relationship with mob. It's such a good story to have it all come together in the end!
Reigen is my favorite character of all time
Good pick!
I’d love to see Reigan meet King from one punch man.
That's a great group of characters! XD
REIGEN IS HIM 🗣🗣🗣🗣
YOU"RE GODDAMN RIGHT HE IS
My head cannon is that reigen is just Scott pilgrim who moved to Japan after he got dumped.
He's just like me fr
Secret Chad 100
Bro is king
Reigen looks like Scott pilgrim 💀
I guess kinda XD
Damn
