| Dam that cliffhanger though. I really hope those bodies are fake, would have been more surprising if I didn't see Facebook posts of it but still very good scene. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |

But ESP powers are tied to emotions so getting Mob angry might be what he's after. |

| What the hell just happened? Totally unexpected cliffhanger. I doubt those were real, but I sure do hope Mob will make that guy regret. |
Mob sounded like monster at the end. Dat voice change |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| OH.....MY.....GOD!! |

| Magnificent episode! Mob gives himself to the maximum to be in the top 10 in the marathon of the school, to finally have turnarounds very unexpected and especially dramatic! |
| I think that was the first time I've ever been genuinely horrified by a scene in anime. And this isn't even a horror show! |
 |
| Have you guys noticed that the % bar showing less often, and ???% becomes more frequent this season? |
|
| Anime of the year. At this point it doesn't even matter to me what else comes out this year. Last episode already won me over completely, but the emotional rollercoaster of this ep just proves that Mob season 2 is the whole package. They've nailed literally every single tone they've gone for at this point. Lighthearted fluff, comedy, angst, horror, grief. Not to mention the animation is somehow even more stellar than last season's. I am not budging on this. |

Limaolc said: Tsubomi is still mysterious for me, looks that she cares about Mob for trying to cheer him up in the marathon, i wonder why she stopped, would be a great motivation for Mob! she was about to encourage him but then she realized that would distract him. you should never say things to someone who's concentrating on doing a certain task. you may say running is physical work, you don't need to "concentrate". that's incorrect because there're lots of things you need to think about while running. maintaining the pace, your form, having a steady, rhythmic breathing (in, in, out, in, in, out), all that stuff. |
| i didn't expect the dark turn this episode took, and i'm really anxious to see how this fact is going to affect mob in the next one also, we've seen close to nothing about tsubomi, but i really like her??? she seems weird and smart and i think that's precious |

I feel the same way , it keeps getting better each episode and i don't see anything topping mob this year . |
| What an episode!, everything was going great for Mob (it looked like Tsubomi-chan and his parents were impressed when they saw Mob running) and at the end all went to hell. Genius plot twist. Poor Mob... |
 |
| what a nice episode about running a marathon and nothing else in particular... |
 |
| I thought my heart was gonna stop for a second there |
| I think those burned people are just dummies and his family was actually kidnapped. I mean, think about it, why would they kill a very talented esper? |
 |
| W H A T ??!?!?! IT CANNOT BE!!!! T ^ T |
| 💕 |
| I'm speechless, in shock and in denial. Chills. No, please |
 |
| What in the fuck... Man I had some things to say about that nice first 3/4's but I can't even after the ending. Holy hell man. There's no way his parents are actually dead right?? Wtfffff. |
| I can not believe that that scene really made me tremble. |
 |
| What.....the actual.....fuck??? I am fully distressed right now.... |
 |
| So the mood swing trick, huh? I am respecting Mob Psycho because to this point it didn't use the battle shounen tropes often, used them in a different/creative ways or even subverted some of them...and now this. I am not saying that the show is ruined or anything but this was definitely a cheap shot. |

I am not saying that the show is ruined or anything but this was definitely a cheap shot. I mean, Mob Psycho is literally Mood Swings: The Anime. And to be fair, the series doesn't try to subvert the tropes. Unlike OPM, Mob Psycho is a bona fide shonen series and has always relied on tasteful combination and execution of shonen cliches than subverting them.Rage=Power from s1ep3, traumatic flashbacks from s1ep5, fighting for family s1ep8, man vs nonhuman s2ep4, genjutsu and memory manipulation s2ep5, just to name a few. Heck, the finale for episode 1 of this season is downright predictable, but it's easily one of the more well-received episodes. Perhaps this episode's shift is a lot more shocking, and perhaps it rubs you the wrong way, but I don't think the shift alone deviates from ONE's approach to the series. |
|
| OH MY GOD! this has suddenly became phenomenally dark! wow! more awesomness awaits! i hope it's just a burning corpse of someone and not Mob;s family...DAMN! 5/5! |

For the characters - yes but can't remember MP100 doing that to the audience. Germs_N_Spices said: And to be fair, the series doesn't try to subvert the tropes. Not the main goal here but it does it once or twice. Germs_N_Spices said: Mob Psycho is a bona fide shonen series and has always relied on tasteful combination and execution of shonen cliches than subverting them. But doesn't do the "battle" thing all the time and yes tasteful is the keyword here. Germs_N_Spices said: Heck, the finale for episode 1 of this season is downright predictable, but it's easily one of the more well-received episodes. Not necessary a shounen trait you know. Germs_N_Spices said: Perhaps this episode's shift is a lot more shocking, and perhaps it rubs you the wrong way It's not. Actually it's quite comedic and I am kind of disappointed that they used such a standard twist. Germs_N_Spices said: but I don't think the shift alone deviates from ONE's approach to the series. You tell me. I don't read his works just watching some adaptions. |

alshu said: I'm not sure what more they could have done. They set up a happy SOL episode with no evidence to expect anything different and smashed expectations right at the end. The ???% scene was a masterful use of animation.DumpsterKing said: well-executed bait and switch. For regular battle shounen not for AOTY candidate. |

DumpsterKing said: I'm not sure what more they could have done. No need for such a overdramatic and cheesy move. Just end the episode with the bad guy ringing at the door (maybe not showing him) and have Mob enter the house in the next episode. |

| That ending tho hollyshit i feel bad for mob. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Wtf.. this kinda really wants to me to spoil myself with manga, i don't know if i can wait for almost week until next ep and finding out if his family or someone did really.. i don't think they would since this has not gotten dark so far.. |
| That was some cute episo..... what the fuck am I talking about it was so dark as the deep dark abyss, poor Mob after trying so hard that happens, been a long time since I got into the edge of my seat because of an episode. "illegal downloads, you wanna be cursed" well couldn't just ignore Reigen sama's quote. |
