It's funny how in other shows, all the drama, crying and character angst doesn't get to me, but Mob telling Reigen that he's a good man makes my eyes water. Sometimes less is more.
@@bigmoisture69 I'm sure you misread. I'm pretty sure that he meant in fairytale they can't make people emotional like mob does because the writer or fairytale has the characters cry all the time, it's not impactful. He was saying that mob was better in the emotional factor
Tbh, the part that hits me the most is the last line of this scene with mob wishing Reigen a happy birthday. Aside from his mom, Mob was the only one that was truly always there for him and didn't need to be reminded of Reigen's bday
Me after season 1: "Yeah it's kinda cool and funny anime." Me after half of season 2: "...Holy crap this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!"
And now it's when it really gets good!! When I was reading the Manga when the Claw boss showed up is when the series really hit 5th gear for me. S3 is even better than S2. Finale is fantastic. ONE is genius.
Mob is already the most powerful esper in the world, he doesn't need a master who can teach him about physic powers, he needs a master that can teach him how to be human, and that's what Reigen is. That's the beauty of Mob Psycho, Mob's insanely strong powers a useless for getting him what he wants, the girl that he loves, friends, and a normal life. Reigen brings that normalcy and gave Mob his first true friendship, as he grows on a personal level under his wing, Mob will likely come to acquire the final thing which he desires. I think that many people miss the role that Tsubomi plays in all of this. She's almost always there, looking on from a distance and smiling as she sees Mob grow. She always acts unimpressed or uncaring about his powers because she wants him to gain confidence in himself for who he is and not for his powers. That's the crux of the show, that ones worth comes not from their strength or natural born gifts, but from their efforts to better themselves.
I hope season 3 gets greenlit to not only tie up all the plot threads, but to show how Tsubomi plays a very *interesting* & *pivotal* role in Mobs life.
@@okuyasuniijimura Blue haired girl that Mob has a crush on. He's often looking at her and there have been a few scenes showing them playing together when they were younger.
Remember when Mob was being scammed for breaking a Vase in a shady art shop, Reigen came and straight Bamboozled the con artist and left with Mob like a boss 😊 knew the relationship was special after that.
If you struggle with self-worth and depression, having someone tell you honestly you're a good person despite every failure is so validating. This scene moves me every time.
I think this will always be one of the most well-written character arcs between any two protagonists. The build up for Reigen's guilt compounding on the fact that in the moment when Mob says he always knew what Reigen really was, he was probably feeling almost every negative emotion you could think of. The guilt from holding Mob back and using him, the anger from his thought that Mob pitied him, the rise and fall of his success, and the sadness that was always present for him. And the scene was set up in such a brilliant way where you might think Mob is going to shatter Reigen's emotions right then and there but then they hit you with that callback to Reigen telling Mob that kindness was key and that Mob would need to become a good person with or without his psychic powers. Frankly, I don't know how anyone who understands this scene and these two characters could not tear up a bit at it. I've seen a lot of media and read a lot of stories but this dynamic was done so well it still gets me over a year after watching it. ONE and Bones did such an incredible job with this, it baffles me that it's not one of the most popular anime out there.
Reigen said it was his birthday days before this to his crew of people at the bar, but it wasn't, he just said that to see if they even knew the date. Mob who actually remembered tells reigen happy birthday days after and I love that.
I also love how it wasn’t overly drawn out or dramatic, it wasn’t overly sad or emotional, you know how he felt after mob told him he knows he’s a good person
I love how it is also left ambiguous whether or not mob know that Reigen was faking having powers the whole time because it doesn’t matter if mob knows what matters is how he feels about Reigen
Even without the context, the scene is incredibly powerful. Months ago before I had ever watched the anime, a friend kept trying to convince me to watch it and how different it is from other ones. He kept failing, until he sent me this scene. This is what I saw. You have a man who obviously is showing sadness about something he has done, asking a child if he knows. The child says he does (finding out it's his master), and then right when you're expecting him to call his master something horrible, he tells him he's a good person. A child shows such kindness to somebody on this level, and you don't know how long they've been master and student if you've never seen the anime. It hits you hard emotionally, and is incredibly heartwarming. This scene alone made me watch the anime, I wanted to know the depths of the relationship, and how hard this hit in context. It hit even harder.
episode 6: friendship ended with reigen, now the talking fart is my new best friend episode 7: friendship regain with reigen, now reigen and talking fart both are my best friends
Im glad they still use the sun/light as hope in this scene Reigen was walking away from the sun while Mob is facing at it. When Reigen felt guilt the shadow ii getting bigger on his face but as soon as Mob said he is a good guy, the light grows on to Reigen. In the end they walk toward the light together Edit: Maybe Im thinking too much lol
@@carlosflores2156 it’s already in the category of popular anime the only ones who are really in another league are the big four besides them it is pretty popular among the majority of anime
LJ Just curious, why you felt like a kid? I had a mix of feelings also like a nostalgic kind of thing, i was wondering if the same happened to you lmao
This gets you real good because you can tell that Mob also knew the very other thing Reigen is thinking but chooses to see in him what really matters. What a good scene!
Nah man I think a lot of people get this wrong. Mob is clueless that’s literally his whole character and his growth is him getting less clueless. The point of this is like in many other instances, like the girl asking him out as a joke or him forgiving the possessed girl, mob took the high road. He didn’t really realize he was a fake but it doesn’t matter because he helped mob when he needed him most and now mob was there for him when he needed him most
Ed Sullivan Well, I don't think that's entirely true.. looking back on season one, one scene i can tell you is truely off is when Reigen asked Mob for more "juice" (his powers) and Mob simply replied he was out of gas too. Didn't that seem very weird? Like wouldn't he ask? I think that was intentional. That was the scene that made me rethink, Mob truely did always know, or knew later down the road.
NEMOGD I genuinely think that’s viewer projection because we obviously knew and think we’d know in his shoes, but there really is no evidence to indicate he ever knew before and only evidence to indicate mob is a good hearted but extremely clueless and gullible kid, and him becoming less clueless is part of his growth
Looking back at season 1 it starts seeming like Mob actually did know the entire time that Reigen did not have any powers, a lot of his dialogue when rewatching seem to be some subtle way of Mob making jokes at his master, but it comes of as him just being clueless due to his suppressed emotions. Giving the impression that he stayed around him due to him genuinely being a good person trying to help Mob and was being taught life lessons, probably also just to have a friend of sorts. I like to think the whole split off in season 2 is a lot of Mob learning that he does not in fact need Reigen anymore to emotionally support him, but instead realizing that perhaps Reigen needs him as well. A nice way of showing Mob growing up and becoming the kind person Reigen told him to be.
There's a Japanese pun that's hard to translate where Mob says Reigen didn't have Pyschic energy, he was his master because of his spiritual energy. He looked up to Reigen because of his emotional support, not because he had any magic power. And Reigen while being a fraud knew exactly how to guide Mob from not giving into murderous rage. Reigen might not have been the best religious guidance, but be found a kid with true divine powers and his first instinct was kid needs a moral sensei to guide him. I can do that.
My friends call this the 'empty nest' arc. And really, it is. It was never about business or money or using Mob for those things, and probably hadn't been for a long time by that point. Reigen was happy and kept spirits and co going because he had a protege to support and help grow. There wasn't some sudden profit, the work itself didn't change. Mob growing up and needing him less was the source of Reigen's panic; when you put everything into helping your children have the best life they can, what do you do when you don't have to anymore? I think reigen found that out, and then...the world didn't end, miraculously. He'll be here for mob, come what may, but give him space to flourish now. And they'll both be ok. sA beautiful arc.
The first time I saw this episode I was expecting that Mob were really mad with Reigen, the thing that I wasn't expecting is that answer Mob gives to him, it was so beautiful that my tears just came out. This is one of my favorites scenes of all anime I've seen so far.
i’ve seen this scene a thousand times but only just now do i realize how strong the parallel is. if you listen, mob uses reigen’s exact words back at him again with ‘good person’ (the subtitles make it seem different) . it immediately cuts to that past scene and while it doesn’t show subtitles for reigen’s lip syncing there, that was the exact part when he said those words. the shot of young mob then spins back around to reigen, further highlighting that mob is doing for reigen what reigen once did for him. i never realized that to the full extent before.
exactly my thoughts also.. reigen believed in mob when mob needed it most (even if it wasn't with good intentions at the time), and mob believes in reigen since then
Yeah, it was obvious to me only because I know a little Japanese. And there's another line with the very same problem, S2ep12 if I remember correctly. During Mob's conversation with Seri, he used a very particular word for "see you as a person", the same one from what Reigen told him in the s1 flashback scene (where it was translated to "kindness"). Even though I know it can't be helped, it's still a shame that a lot less people would draw the parallels.
BestJo - Rocket League! I have cried three times watching a movie/show. Church's death from RvB, Lelouch’s death from code geass, and this wonderful scene. The first two were bittersweet tears of the character's victory coming with such a massive cost. This makes me cry tears of pure joy as Reigen is told that he’s a good man.
@@whydidyoupressthegokubutto3396 this just makes me cry tears of jealousy, I made a huge mistake and I was so ashamed in myself I cut all ties with everyone I ever knew. Now I have no one in my life and I am too scared to make friends.
@@sirjulio9300 manga readers who say shit like this are the worst, seriously. Just because you're being coy doesn't mean that you're not illuding to a spoiler
Earlier in the episode when Reigen was getting roasted on the internet. There was a comment that read something along the lines of "if I were caught being such a fraud I'd end myself." If Mob decided not to show up and save Reigen, I'm almost certain that thoughts of overwhelming failure, loneliness, and self pity would have lead to Reigen taking his own life as soon as he got home from that press conference. He looked so relieved and greatful after Mob called him a genuinely good person. Almost as if Reigin was thinking "At the very least I'm glad my lesson about kindness and positivity really rubbed off on you Mob. Your the true embodiment of a genuinely good guy"
I was getting vibes that this was kind of supposed to parallel Mogami. Despite not actually being psychic, the media being a fickle monster was part of what got Mogami to turn down such a dark path. Given his life ended in suicide, albeit for ulterior motives, I also had the vibe that this was definitely hinting that Reigen probably really did think those thoughts.
off of what lol, what gave you the idea he'd end himself, seemed to me like he didn't care, because he remembered what he had kept continuing the job for in the first place, and him recognizing mob's growth basically was like, ye I don't need this job Im gonna move on
@@zeronin4696 Uh, yeah? Which part of that was unclear? Was it the part where I said, "I got the vibe that..." or was it the blatant sharing of my interpretation? What a strange thing to say.
I won't lie, I teared up during this moment which is sth that rarely happens to me when it comes to anime. I love "Mob Psycho 100" so freaking much! Definitely one of my favourite anime of all time!
@@JorgeGonzalez-wl8zg Nah dude. The autocorrection system just added a stress on the letter "e" because that's how I used to spell the term "anime" a long time ago but I do not spell it like that now since I know that there's no stress on the term at all. I'll correct this mistake right away! Thank you for letting me know and have a good day! :)
I've always loved how Reigen gave never missed an opportunity to give Mob the assurance that he's not weird, he's simply different just like people who can run fast or lift heavy weights.
I've been watching anime for over 7 years and this is one of the most cathartic scenes in the whole medium. Poetically directed yet simple in its execution, this is anime drama at its very best.
Yeah is in my top tier anime lvl with Evangelion monster code geass full metal Alchemist serial experiments lain psycho pass Berserk the first series cowboy Bebop and a little more
Reigen totally expected him to say "a loser" or "a fake" but just like it doesn't matter if you're a psychic or a genius at sports. It also doesn't matter that you're a "loser" in the measurement of society if you're a good person. Reigan isn't a CEO, married, nor does he have many friends who knows he exist. But he did save one kid with his words. You never know what a moment of kindness can do for someone, even if unintended it can influence someone's life for the better. For that person they don't care about the other things, you're amazing in the part that matters.
I think the song and subtle nuances which couldn't be conveyed by the manga (Reigen's voice, his animated reactions and that DAMN BEAUTIFUL MUSIC) made it that better :')
If getting to this part in the manga made me tear up the anime was a straight up waterfall: the voice acting, the character animation, Mob facing the sunlight while Reigen's facing away from it, THAT GODDAMN TURNAROUD SHOT and lastly the camera showing the alley where the argument happened, now without the spiderweb Reigen was framed under and the two walk past the sign Reigen covered behind when he saw Mob with his friends Q`-´Q BONES just hit it out of the park with this one 10/10 would watch a thousand times more I crie every tiem etc
Reigen's face at 1:05 is the face of a man that has aged 100 years and just been saved from drowning at the same time. He looks like he has lost a ton of weight from his shoulders and is so relieved yet at the same time he is exhausted from how lonely his life has been lately. Mob just threw him the life raft to end 6 months of trying not to drown.
Season 2 of Mob Psycho is one of the most memorable experiences I had watching anime. I still remember what I was eating and doing on the days I watched it while airing.
The slight crack in Reigen's voice at 00:27 gets me every time. Voice acting in most anime, and granted most of the voice acting in this anime as well, is over the top and deliberate, which makes the little things stand out even more.
0:28 he was definitely fighting back the tears when he said that 😭 props to voice actor, studio, writers and especially ONE for giving us these stories we’ve come to love❤️
I'm not the kind of emotional guy, but this scene... oh boy. To be honest, animes brought back feelings I usually don't have at most time in real life. Also, I watched Mob season 1 and it was like, a good anime, good animation, cool fights etc. This second season is just indescribable to me, I really am loving this anime.
@@sebaba001 I finished reading the manga yesterday and wow, I just can't wait to see this show again. Only thing I want is Bones Studio keeping this magnificent job on Mob Psycho 100.
I feel like what makes this brilliant is Reigen told Mob exactly what he needed to hear during their first meeting when he was confused by his powers, so Mob returns the favor by telling Reigen exactly what he needed to hear when he was at his most confusing moment. Plus Mob has grown into the person capable of delivering the message.
Because, at its heart, it's about coming to terms with your emotions and working hard to improve yourself while helping those around you do the same. Sure, for some characters, it took an extra season for them to reach that realization, but at this point in the series, both Mob and Regun are far better people than they were at the start of the series when they first met.
Reigen is so fucking relatable, esp in S2. They don't write anime characters like him. And seeing how Mob views him, despite his flaws, and being there for him, it's just heart-warming man.
I love the ambiguity of mob saying he has always known because it doesn’t really matter if he knew Reigen had no powers or not what mattered is that he knew Reigen was a genuinely good person
people recomended me this show and left out the part where it rips your heart out, gives it a hug, tells it tenderly but firmly "your life is your own" and shoves it back inside.
Reigen may be a fraud and use Mob to help his 'business', but DAMMIT! HE'S MORE THAN AN OKAY GUY! He gives sound advice to Mob and genuinely cares about people! Happy birthday and we love you, you loveable con man!
generic anime: makes characters nice-looking, but lack real expressive emotion ONE: can't draw well, gives everyone basically the same face Studio Bones: gives said same faces expression strong enough to make grown men cry *"OH YEAH, THIS IS BIG BRAIN TIME."*
One isn't an artist. He's a writer that uses art as a medium to tell his stories. Hell the simple designs ACTUALLY work in a studios favor because they can spend less time drawing and more time animating which part of the reason mob psycho is so amazing. The detailed gestures each character makes during certain scenes if you pay attention to it make it all the better
Does someone else thinks that this was the elephant in the room all along? It always bothered me that Mob “didn’t know” that Reigen didn’t have any powers but I never expected them to answer that, that’s why this hits so hard!
Diego Barreto admittedly after watching season 1 over a couple of times you can actually start to tell mob has always known as he tells us in this scene. Watching season one 1 with your main focus on mobs reactions to Reigen you can tell he’s 100% aware. through my first watch I took his sacarstic comments towards Reigen as pure obliviousness when faced with a situation and he kind of is just like “oh I thought you’d handle it” but after a 2nd or 3rd watch through once finishing season two it kind of just hits you in the face lol.
Yea this scene was excellently executed to confirm that Mob caught on to Reigen's lack of power long time ago, without directly addressing it. Mob was naive in the beginning when he met Reigen, and he did sense Reigen's odd behaviors because he was suspecting something was off by asking innocent questions in which Reigen made up answers. When Reigen was exposed as a fraud, Mob came to rescue him and made things float at the press conference to make it seem like Reigen was doing it so that the world would stop thinking he was a fraud. Reigen is a complex character where he is not a "real" fraud because he does help his clients with Mob's real psychic powers to do good, and serve as a good role model to be good in society with his wisdom and experiences, even if he does have other flaws, his most relevant qualities help those around him to make him a genuinely good person at the end of the day. And it's these qualities that Mob chooses to see in his Master over his minor shady business tactics. This relates to all of us who have both good and bad qualities. I didn't expect Mob to answer his Master's question so gracefully when Reigen was at his lowest point, that it also brought tears to my eyes as a grown ass man T.T
Man all of you here have it wrong and it make the scene less impactful since you have it wrong. Literally the whole point of mobs character is that he’s clueless to everything and part of his growth is him becoming less clueless and handling social situations compassionately. He didn’t know reigen was a fake he found out this episode, the whole point is he doesn’t care at all and he’s just thankful he’s was there for him when mob needed him most. It’s another example of mob taking the high road in a situation where he should justifiably be mad like with his brother, the girl who asked him out off a bet or the possessed girl from a few episodes before
투루 think of all the times reigen called mob and mob asked him to handle it himself, you think mob would say that knowing reigen was completely helpless, you think that is mobs character? What he wanted to stick it to reigen or make him admit he’s a fake? No not at all. The whole point of Mob psycho is the growth of mob and exploring his character. You really think mob is the type of character to knowingly put his arguably closest friend in life threatening danger to stick it to him or something? Crazy
I really love that Reigen has the same eyes/pupil as Mob in the flashback. I think it's because they both got the same emotion/realization that they are accepted for who they truly are by someone else.
It's insane that one video of just one minute still manages to make me tear up, I actually cried and that shows how beautiful and amazing Mob Psycho is well written.
It's such a simple, sweet scene that just had tears streaming down my face. No death, no violence, no angst, just one person reassuring another that they're a good person and they value that. God, Mob Psycho 100 is easily one of my new favorite anime and shows period.
And my small heart grew 3 sizes that day. Seriously, I could watch this scene on loop for hours and not get tired of it. The lighting, the subtle animation, the acting, the music, and, of course, what's being said. I love it so much!
1:03 all the feelings dancing in Reigen's eyes in that one second makes this scene even more beautiful, he's depressed, reliefed, thoughtful, hopeful and then happy, you can see all this frame by frame, just amazing
I'll always love how well this scene completes the arc between reigen and mob. In the first season reigen stops mob from taking on more than he can handle mentally, and asks mob to let him handle it. Watching things come full circle as mob realizes reigen took on more than he could handle and feels comfortable stepping in to help is just a nice feeling. Mob really grew up fast.
MAJOR props to everyone on the sound design crew and the voice actors??? The way the ending just synced up so perfectly, the way the lines are said. OOF.
I don't know why I cried so hard when I first saw this scene. Was it the music? The voice acting? The photography? I don't know, but everytime this hits me so hard and I love that it made me cry when I don't usually do, although I've never cried for other much sadder scenes in other anime
Honestly my mood changed so quick watching this scene, I’m not an emotional person by any means but as soon as mob said that to reigen I teared up instantly
I feel like this episode is going to stick out in my mind for a long time. Season 2 all around has been fucking spectacular but Reigen's arc in particular hit me really hard, in a way that not alot of anime have.
Mob: I've always known...from the beginning. What my master really is.... Me:No, please don't do him like that.... Mob: is a generally good guy Me: *In Tears*
Little story about this. This was kinda spoiled for me but at the same time i think it made it even better. I saw this in my recommended while i was still on the first couple episodes of season 2. I saw the thumbnail, read the title and assumed Mob tells Reigen he's always known hes not a real physic. when i got to this episode, and i saw the sunset with reigen walking i knew i had gotten to the scene where mob tells reigen he always knew. but then, as i heard mob say those simple words, i had the same reaction as reigen and realized whether or not Mob truly knows that reigen has no physic abilities doesnt matter. Mob followed reigen because he believed he was a good person.
This ep was so good because of how unexpectedly good it was, this is why i hate when people be like “HYPEEE CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN” cause honestly it sets people’s expectations too high and it wont be as good
As much as I loved Mob Psycho, I think Attack on Titan Season 3 part 2 and Demon Slayer are on this level. AoT will probably take the win by votes though, since it's the most popular of the three.

Even without the context, the scene is incredibly powerful. Months ago before I had ever watched the anime, a friend kept trying to convince me to watch it and how different it is from other ones. He kept failing, until he sent me this scene. This is what I saw.
You have a man who obviously is showing sadness about something he has done, asking a child if he knows. The child says he does (finding out it's his master), and then right when you're expecting him to call his master something horrible, he tells him he's a good person. A child shows such kindness to somebody on this level, and you don't know how long they've been master and student if you've never seen the anime. It hits you hard emotionally, and is incredibly heartwarming.
This scene alone made me watch the anime, I wanted to know the depths of the relationship, and how hard this hit in context. It hit even harder.
episode 6: friendship ended with reigen, now the talking fart is my new best friend
episode 7: friendship regain with reigen, now reigen and talking fart both are my best friends
then in the manga, the fart becomes the enemy again
nnana why u spoil
I relish in the idea that during Mob's inner monologue he refers to Dimple solely as "the talking fart"
Talking fart cushion
How is it this season is exponentially better than the first and the first was already a masterpiece?
ikr it's so awesome
First season was Diamond
Second was Pink Diamond
Idk man, ONE is one blessed writer and the whole team working on Mob is so amazing tbh
Hell yeah. To me, first season was great, but season 2 really surpassed it
Just wished season two of one punch man had received this kind of treatment.
I love how even Dimple was looking a bit tense when Mob said he knew about Reigen.
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t even notice!

Came back because someone did a review on reigen and it made me feel good.
Reigen's greatest regret was not becoming a fraud
It was disappointing Mob
Except Mob wasn't disappointed, because Reigen excelled where it mattered

This gets you real good because you can tell that Mob also knew the very other thing Reigen is thinking but chooses to see in him what really matters. What a good scene!
You're making me cry again...
Nah man I think a lot of people get this wrong. Mob is clueless that’s literally his whole character and his growth is him getting less clueless. The point of this is like in many other instances, like the girl asking him out as a joke or him forgiving the possessed girl, mob took the high road. He didn’t really realize he was a fake but it doesn’t matter because he helped mob when he needed him most and now mob was there for him when he needed him most
Ed Sullivan Well, I don't think that's entirely true.. looking back on season one, one scene i can tell you is truely off is when Reigen asked Mob for more "juice" (his powers) and Mob simply replied he was out of gas too. Didn't that seem very weird? Like wouldn't he ask? I think that was intentional. That was the scene that made me rethink, Mob truely did always know, or knew later down the road.
@@TrueGamer22887 nah he knew.
NEMOGD I genuinely think that’s viewer projection because we obviously knew and think we’d know in his shoes, but there really is no evidence to indicate he ever knew before and only evidence to indicate mob is a good hearted but extremely clueless and gullible kid, and him becoming less clueless is part of his growth
I swear to god, I could hang every frame of this on a wall. It's freaking beautiful.
You're gonna need a big wall for that
@@PRESPOVERTY it would be worth it
@@gjotrollmaster6655 you're right
This whole comment thread is so wholesome
Even 1:02 🤔🤔🤔
Looking back at season 1 it starts seeming like Mob actually did know the entire time that Reigen did not have any powers, a lot of his dialogue when rewatching seem to be some subtle way of Mob making jokes at his master, but it comes of as him just being clueless due to his suppressed emotions.
Giving the impression that he stayed around him due to him genuinely being a good person trying to help Mob and was being taught life lessons, probably also just to have a friend of sorts.
I like to think the whole split off in season 2 is a lot of Mob learning that he does not in fact need Reigen anymore to emotionally support him, but instead realizing that perhaps Reigen needs him as well. A nice way of showing Mob growing up and becoming the kind person Reigen told him to be.
There's a Japanese pun that's hard to translate where Mob says Reigen didn't have Pyschic energy, he was his master because of his spiritual energy.
He looked up to Reigen because of his emotional support, not because he had any magic power. And Reigen while being a fraud knew exactly how to guide Mob from not giving into murderous rage.
Reigen might not have been the best religious guidance, but be found a kid with true divine powers and his first instinct was kid needs a moral sensei to guide him. I can do that.
@@charlesacker9174 "this pun is hard to translate, here let me translate it perfectly" very nice
I would've kept this at 444 likes but i just couldnt agree more with you so here is a like
stop it you’re going to make me cry
My friends call this the 'empty nest' arc. And really, it is. It was never about business or money or using Mob for those things, and probably hadn't been for a long time by that point. Reigen was happy and kept spirits and co going because he had a protege to support and help grow. There wasn't some sudden profit, the work itself didn't change. Mob growing up and needing him less was the source of Reigen's panic; when you put everything into helping your children have the best life they can, what do you do when you don't have to anymore?
I think reigen found that out, and then...the world didn't end, miraculously. He'll be here for mob, come what may, but give him space to flourish now. And they'll both be ok.
sA beautiful arc.
This is my favorite scene from any anime in existence, honestly. It's so genuine and wholesome, I love it so much.

Any it's 100% in-character for Mob. It doesn't come off as a lazy-writer trying to have a quick fix of the situation. Mob wouldn't hold a grudge.
Cheio de br tentando falar inglês aqui
@@AndersonMallony-EricCF kddkskskkk vdd!!! but to me its a pleasure
i’ve seen this scene a thousand times but only just now do i realize how strong the parallel is. if you listen, mob uses reigen’s exact words back at him again with ‘good person’ (the subtitles make it seem different) . it immediately cuts to that past scene and while it doesn’t show subtitles for reigen’s lip syncing there, that was the exact part when he said those words. the shot of young mob then spins back around to reigen, further highlighting that mob is doing for reigen what reigen once did for him. i never realized that to the full extent before.
exactly my thoughts also.. reigen believed in mob when mob needed it most (even if it wasn't with good intentions at the time), and mob believes in reigen since then
Mob: "you were never my master for being a psychic, you were my master for being a good person"
Yeah, it was obvious to me only because I know a little Japanese. And there's another line with the very same problem, S2ep12 if I remember correctly. During Mob's conversation with Seri, he used a very particular word for "see you as a person", the same one from what Reigen told him in the s1 flashback scene (where it was translated to "kindness"). Even though I know it can't be helped, it's still a shame that a lot less people would draw the parallels.

Earlier in the episode when Reigen was getting roasted on the internet. There was a comment that read something along the lines of "if I were caught being such a fraud I'd end myself." If Mob decided not to show up and save Reigen, I'm almost certain that thoughts of overwhelming failure, loneliness, and self pity would have lead to Reigen taking his own life as soon as he got home from that press conference. He looked so relieved and greatful after Mob called him a genuinely good person. Almost as if Reigin was thinking "At the very least I'm glad my lesson about kindness and positivity really rubbed off on you Mob. Your the true embodiment of a genuinely good guy"
I was getting vibes that this was kind of supposed to parallel Mogami. Despite not actually being psychic, the media being a fickle monster was part of what got Mogami to turn down such a dark path. Given his life ended in suicide, albeit for ulterior motives, I also had the vibe that this was definitely hinting that Reigen probably really did think those thoughts.
off of what lol, what gave you the idea he'd end himself, seemed to me like he didn't care, because he remembered what he had kept continuing the job for in the first place, and him recognizing mob's growth basically was like, ye I don't need this job Im gonna move on

I've always loved how Reigen gave never missed an opportunity to give Mob the assurance that he's not weird, he's simply different just like people who can run fast or lift heavy weights.

Reigen totally expected him to say "a loser" or "a fake" but just like it doesn't matter if you're a psychic or a genius at sports. It also doesn't matter that you're a "loser" in the measurement of society if you're a good person. Reigan isn't a CEO, married, nor does he have many friends who knows he exist. But he did save one kid with his words. You never know what a moment of kindness can do for someone, even if unintended it can influence someone's life for the better. For that person they don't care about the other things, you're amazing in the part that matters.

0:29 that break in his voice. So beautiful ;___;
Because he feels uncomfortable about himself after how much he used mob, so conflicting him was probably really hard for him.

That’s good voice acting right there.
I knew this was coming because I had read through the manga, but the anime version just somehow managed to hit so much harder.
Same
I think the song and subtle nuances which couldn't be conveyed by the manga (Reigen's voice, his animated reactions and that DAMN BEAUTIFUL MUSIC) made it that better :')
If getting to this part in the manga made me tear up the anime was a straight up waterfall: the voice acting, the character animation, Mob facing the sunlight while Reigen's facing away from it, THAT GODDAMN TURNAROUD SHOT and lastly the camera showing the alley where the argument happened, now without the spiderweb Reigen was framed under and the two walk past the sign Reigen covered behind when he saw Mob with his friends Q`-´Q
BONES just hit it out of the park with this one 10/10 would watch a thousand times more I crie every tiem etc
the music and the fact that you don’t have to flip the page or interact in any way, you just see it happen
Reigen's face at 1:05 is the face of a man that has aged 100 years and just been saved from drowning at the same time. He looks like he has lost a ton of weight from his shoulders and is so relieved yet at the same time he is exhausted from how lonely his life has been lately. Mob just threw him the life raft to end 6 months of trying not to drown.
"Oh by the way, Master, happy birthday"
*_I'M CRYING_*
Season 2 of Mob Psycho is one of the most memorable experiences I had watching anime. I still remember what I was eating and doing on the days I watched it while airing.
The slight crack in Reigen's voice at 00:27 gets me every time. Voice acting in most anime, and granted most of the voice acting in this anime as well, is over the top and deliberate, which makes the little things stand out even more.
0:28 he was definitely fighting back the tears when he said that 😭 props to voice actor, studio, writers and especially ONE for giving us these stories we’ve come to love❤️
I'm not the kind of emotional guy, but this scene... oh boy. To be honest, animes brought back feelings I usually don't have at most time in real life. Also, I watched Mob season 1 and it was like, a good anime, good animation, cool fights etc. This second season is just indescribable to me, I really am loving this anime.

Yeap, ONE is a genius
I cried watching the anime and reading the manga. Yes, One is a genious.
the right words from the right person have more influence than a crowd saying anything they please
I feel like what makes this brilliant is Reigen told Mob exactly what he needed to hear during their first meeting when he was confused by his powers, so Mob returns the favor by telling Reigen exactly what he needed to hear when he was at his most confusing moment. Plus Mob has grown into the person capable of delivering the message.
Why is this Anime so good?
It just is
Because it's written by one and is animated by bones
Because, at its heart, it's about coming to terms with your emotions and working hard to improve yourself while helping those around you do the same.
Sure, for some characters, it took an extra season for them to reach that realization, but at this point in the series, both Mob and Regun are far better people than they were at the start of the series when they first met.
It was created by 2 of the most talented forces in the industry. Studio Bones, and One

Reigen is so fucking relatable, esp in S2. They don't write anime characters like him. And seeing how Mob views him, despite his flaws, and being there for him, it's just heart-warming man.
I love the ambiguity of mob saying he has always known because it doesn’t really matter if he knew Reigen had no powers or not what mattered is that he knew Reigen was a genuinely good person
people recomended me this show and left out the part where it rips your heart out, gives it a hug, tells it tenderly but firmly "your life is your own" and shoves it back inside.
You know it gets really emotional when the music kicks in
I like how the opening shifts at 0:14 when the dialogue starts to really come into play.
This is just too perfect.
Reigen may be a fraud and use Mob to help his 'business', but DAMMIT! HE'S MORE THAN AN OKAY GUY! He gives sound advice to Mob and genuinely cares about people!
Happy birthday and we love you, you loveable con man!
Mob is too good for this world. He's become one of my favorite shonen protagonists. I love his development.
generic anime: makes characters nice-looking, but lack real expressive emotion
ONE: can't draw well, gives everyone basically the same face
Studio Bones: gives said same faces expression strong enough to make grown men cry
*"OH YEAH, THIS IS BIG BRAIN TIME."*
One isn't an artist. He's a writer that uses art as a medium to tell his stories. Hell the simple designs ACTUALLY work in a studios favor because they can spend less time drawing and more time animating which part of the reason mob psycho is so amazing. The detailed gestures each character makes during certain scenes if you pay attention to it make it all the better
@Thiago Moura One piece is GOATed like mob
In the end, Mob returned Reigen's kindness to him when he needed it the most
I love this scene so much
MOB is best boy hands down. Pure and wholesome
The soundtrack of this show is just so amazing, alongside the wonderful art and dialogue.
Does someone else thinks that this was the elephant in the room all along? It always bothered me that Mob “didn’t know” that Reigen didn’t have any powers but I never expected them to answer that, that’s why this hits so hard!
Diego Barreto admittedly after watching season 1 over a couple of times you can actually start to tell mob has always known as he tells us in this scene. Watching season one 1 with your main focus on mobs reactions to Reigen you can tell he’s 100% aware. through my first watch I took his sacarstic comments towards Reigen as pure obliviousness when faced with a situation and he kind of is just like “oh I thought you’d handle it” but after a 2nd or 3rd watch through once finishing season two it kind of just hits you in the face lol.
Yea this scene was excellently executed to confirm that Mob caught on to Reigen's lack of power long time ago, without directly addressing it. Mob was naive in the beginning when he met Reigen, and he did sense Reigen's odd behaviors because he was suspecting something was off by asking innocent questions in which Reigen made up answers. When Reigen was exposed as a fraud, Mob came to rescue him and made things float at the press conference to make it seem like Reigen was doing it so that the world would stop thinking he was a fraud. Reigen is a complex character where he is not a "real" fraud because he does help his clients with Mob's real psychic powers to do good, and serve as a good role model to be good in society with his wisdom and experiences, even if he does have other flaws, his most relevant qualities help those around him to make him a genuinely good person at the end of the day. And it's these qualities that Mob chooses to see in his Master over his minor shady business tactics. This relates to all of us who have both good and bad qualities. I didn't expect Mob to answer his Master's question so gracefully when Reigen was at his lowest point, that it also brought tears to my eyes as a grown ass man T.T
Man all of you here have it wrong and it make the scene less impactful since you have it wrong. Literally the whole point of mobs character is that he’s clueless to everything and part of his growth is him becoming less clueless and handling social situations compassionately. He didn’t know reigen was a fake he found out this episode, the whole point is he doesn’t care at all and he’s just thankful he’s was there for him when mob needed him most. It’s another example of mob taking the high road in a situation where he should justifiably be mad like with his brother, the girl who asked him out off a bet or the possessed girl from a few episodes before
투루 think of all the times reigen called mob and mob asked him to handle it himself, you think mob would say that knowing reigen was completely helpless, you think that is mobs character? What he wanted to stick it to reigen or make him admit he’s a fake? No not at all. The whole point of Mob psycho is the growth of mob and exploring his character. You really think mob is the type of character to knowingly put his arguably closest friend in life threatening danger to stick it to him or something? Crazy
yeah, also can't Mob see psychic aura anyway? i feel like he would've been able to tell from the beginning
I really love that Reigen has the same eyes/pupil as Mob in the flashback. I think it's because they both got the same emotion/realization that they are accepted for who they truly are by someone else.
THATS SO CUTE
It's insane that one video of just one minute still manages to make me tear up, I actually cried and that shows how beautiful and amazing Mob Psycho is well written.
It's such a simple, sweet scene that just had tears streaming down my face. No death, no violence, no angst, just one person reassuring another that they're a good person and they value that. God, Mob Psycho 100 is easily one of my new favorite anime and shows period.
And my small heart grew 3 sizes that day.
Seriously, I could watch this scene on loop for hours and not get tired of it. The lighting, the subtle animation, the acting, the music, and, of course, what's being said. I love it so much!

I don’t have an issue but I can give you a tissue though.

1:03 all the feelings dancing in Reigen's eyes in that one second makes this scene even more beautiful, he's depressed, reliefed, thoughtful, hopeful and then happy, you can see all this frame by frame, just amazing
I'll always love how well this scene completes the arc between reigen and mob. In the first season reigen stops mob from taking on more than he can handle mentally, and asks mob to let him handle it. Watching things come full circle as mob realizes reigen took on more than he could handle and feels comfortable stepping in to help is just a nice feeling. Mob really grew up fast.
My god, Reigen and Mob are such genius characters. I love them so god damn much
MAJOR props to everyone on the sound design crew and the voice actors??? The way the ending just synced up so perfectly, the way the lines are said. OOF.
Damn i was at the edge of my seat with this part so amazing.
1:02 those subtle changes in Reigen's face gets me every time. Masterfully done.
Holding back the tears and can't help but smile through them.
I don't know why I cried so hard when I first saw this scene. Was it the music? The voice acting? The photography? I don't know, but everytime this hits me so hard and I love that it made me cry when I don't usually do, although I've never cried for other much sadder scenes in other anime
Everything you said and more probably
Honestly my mood changed so quick watching this scene, I’m not an emotional person by any means but as soon as mob said that to reigen I teared up instantly
I’ve watched this 50 times and I still get goosebumps every time I watch it again
I feel like this episode is going to stick out in my mind for a long time. Season 2 all around has been fucking spectacular but Reigen's arc in particular hit me really hard, in a way that not alot of anime have.
Mob: I've always known...from the beginning. What my master really is....
Me:No, please don't do him like that....
Mob: is a generally good guy
Me: *In Tears*
"generally"?
*genuinely

This comes full circle 3 years later
The fact that Mob knew it was his birthday: chef's kiss.
Little story about this. This was kinda spoiled for me but at the same time i think it made it even better. I saw this in my recommended while i was still on the first couple episodes of season 2. I saw the thumbnail, read the title and assumed Mob tells Reigen he's always known hes not a real physic. when i got to this episode, and i saw the sunset with reigen walking i knew i had gotten to the scene where mob tells reigen he always knew. but then, as i heard mob say those simple words, i had the same reaction as reigen and realized whether or not Mob truly knows that reigen has no physic abilities doesnt matter. Mob followed reigen because he believed he was a good person.
2 years later, the exact same thing happened to me haha
Lol that happened to me too.
@@pelosettomicio7460 Dang same here

1:06 That is the true perfect mix of and utter relief feeling with an outstanding sensation of happiness.
Coming back after S3 this hits even harder
When Mob said happy birthday it made me so happy that I wanted to hug the little guy
This ep was so good because of how unexpectedly good it was, this is why i hate when people be like “HYPEEE CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN” cause honestly it sets people’s expectations too high and it wont be as good
As a manga, I can say that knowing it's coming does not diminish it's beauty a single bit.

Are you sure about that? Not a lot of manga readers enjoyed episode 5 even though it can't get better adaptation.
Germs & Spices its not about knowing, its about expectations
The only ones who hate episode 5 are pretentious fucks with no life outside of wanting more.
@@germsspices but as a Manga reader I can tell you I wasn't expecting this to happen.
Im not crying i got something in my eye
Was it tears? Because I got in my eye too
@@accurategamer7085 you do for taking the time to comment on this
@@TKRaigaGaming I do to point your cringiness
@@accurategamer7085 So you cared enough to point out the cringiness🙂
@@dudedude7846 yes I cared enough to point out the CRINGINESS.
I know this scene is touching, but can we also appreciate how the song matches the mood as well.
Does anyone know what song this is?
@@lilyrandomperson159 It’s called memosepia.
Always makes me bawl like a baby. My mom always told me to become a good human being, if nothing else.
And you are?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!
NO NO NONONONO NO NO!!! MY EMOTIONS!!!
Strong candidate for anime of the year.
More like it's's sitting on the throne right now. If any other show wants to have a chance they would have to take Mob Psycho head-on.
@@germsspices as much as i want mob psycho 100 to stay on that throne... if something *Could* top mob psycho, that would be even greater
As much as I loved Mob Psycho, I think Attack on Titan Season 3 part 2 and Demon Slayer are on this level. AoT will probably take the win by votes though, since it's the most popular of the three.
One of the best scenes in the entire series, it's just so human...
I will forever love this scene.
This is one of the only anime scenes that, no matter how many times I rewatch it, always manages to make me cry.
