| Serizawa is one of my faves. I honestly forgot about the other Ultimate 5 members, even Shimazaki Serizawa is extremely precious. I'm going to reread this arc in the manga to refresh some details since it's been a while since I last read it. One of the best episodes, I like the return of some of the older Claw members and seeing some new faces, of course for the Anime-only viewers even though I've already read the manga, it's nice seeing them animated. People are complaining about the Anime but in my opinion, the Anime is WAY superior to the manga. Why? Its animation is amazing, the fluidity, the music, the colors, the voice acting, etc. None of that exists in the manga but the manga has its own charm too. |

| Very good, mob psicho 100 is getting better. I'm in love with this second season, I think it's overtaking the first one. |
| Uncomfortable with where this is going now, falling back to action tropes which I really dreaded. I'd rather have MHA's psychology than Mobbu's endless power reserves. Oh look, random characters introduced at lightning speed for an entire episode. Can't wait to get to know them all--and they've been defeated. What I feared is coming to pass, know thy past or thou is doomed to repeat it, yikes. Well hopefully they can make something original out of it this time. I like single cours, but episode 9 makes it clear that besides the high animation budget, double cours allow for entire stories to be completed functionally and cohesively. |

| So we finally get to see claw ... pretty good Ep ... lots of fight to come. |
 |
| I'm glad the things in the fire weren't Mobs family. But even then he immidiately found the supposedly responsible persons. I'm not sure but Mob seems to be way stronger as in season 1. Even if the fight was short it was pretty badass. What a coincidence that Mob met Koyama and Sakurai. I'm glad Reigen was able to calm Mob down. He was so stressed out and so he slept in an instant. I didn't expect Sho planning to stop his father. Also that all the division leaders became traitors was unexpected. We got to see the ultimate 5 and damn these guys are monsters. The upcoming fights will be superb. The fight between Teru and Shimazaki was intense but sadly so short. It's also nice to see so much different abilities. Can't wait to see the following episodes. |
 |
| Pretty nice start of something a lot bigger! Really good buildup start and I do wonder what will be going down next. I am glad Mob's parents and brother ain't death though! |
 |
| knew they wouldn't be dead of course, but i enjoyed mob's reaction and initial rage about it. |
| What a drastic turn of events. Claw still hasn't learned their lesson it seems. Whatever happened to that short bald dude who was the leader of 7th division? He might be able to help them. |
 |
| Oh, excited to see Claw enter the story once more! |
 |
| Lol, I really thought they were going to take down Claw. Bamboozled. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
Tachiki Fumihiko Gendo pose! The legacy continues... |
| The parents surviving was predictable but I didn't expect the orange haired kid to be on their side. Pretty disappointing that we won't get a proper fight against him, the previous claw members coming back as allies is also weird. Not only do characters not get killed off but we also get that troupe of all of the villains coming back as allies or comic relief after being defeated. Just comes off as cheesy. |
 |
| Tell me how I managed to fall for that Mob Psycho "trick" when they did the same shit first season where errbody turned up alive AND from a previous ep where that esper girl's father got to live????? I got played-- AGAINS x'D Also, that prime minister some kind of useless for not telling our bb Teru that the kidnapper's power is teleportation smfh >.> |
| Dimple and Reigen were treading on thin ice when they both told Mob that his family is safe somewhere without being able to confirm it for themselves but it was a lucky break that their panicked excuses turned out to be the actual outcome of events. It's even better that his parents are out of the conflict's way since if something really did happen to him, he'll end up more alone than he ever did even with his power being awakened because things will never be the same if he loses his family. That 100% Obsession certainly didn't waste any time in trying to find them. It's really fun to see that most of the former 7th Division defect to the good side and seek help under Reigen out of all people. The Ultimate 5 made their dastardly debut and Teru's forced to fight another person who is far stronger than him before failing to rescue the Prime Minister. Ricchan's in a pickle since Shou's Anti-World Domination's Squad pales in comparison to the Ultimate 5, oof. |
 |
| Imagine what could have happened if Mob went all out back at his house :)).Well,Claw is getting more and more serious! |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| After watching the dumpster fire that was Tokyo Ghoul:re, I had to give this episode a harsh rating as it gave me the same vibes with all the random fighting everywhere. |
| Great we're finally getting into the meat of what makes this anime great - strong espers fighting each other! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Really glad that Mob's parents and brother aren't death Ultimate 5 is pretty strong, too bad for them there is one guy that will stop them.....and his name is...Reigen-sama!!! and his disciple Mob |
 |
| Nearly any other series and that cheap fakeout would've been lambasted to oblivion, but if you take a look at this thread... well, nevermind, this is just how forums go. |

| Mobs family is safe and sound and we are introduced to the new claw. Seeing Mobs powers was sick. Let’s see how it flows with the villains. |
 |
| That "Claw" organization again. I hope it won't bore me as it bore me back in the previous episode. The episode was good, I liked the new espers. That guy who "cannot see with his eyes, but can predict the movements blah blah" looks formidable. I'm glad that Mob's family is safe. Too bad their house had to burn to a crisp. :( @PriestSlayer , I guess it is because Mob Psycho is a series that is full of parody and humor, so that kind of maybe naive ideas (although I don't see this one you are talking about particularly as a naive one) are treated lightly. |

| Woooo, knew Ritsu and the fam would be okay! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Not gonna lie. That fake death pissed me off so hard I'm considering dropping the series. That could have been the single most emotionally powerful moment in the series, and they pissed all over it. Can you imagine if they'd actually gone through with it? People would be talking about Mob twenty years from now. It would have been the next EVA, the next Barefoot Gen. |

Why in the world does the series suddenly need to take a dark spin and kill of his parents, the series so far has never been that. I can say that they maybe should've kept us and Mob in the loop for a little bit longer rather than half an episode - could've dealt with the supposed deaths better. Shimazaki looks just a little bit overpowered ... teleporting / reflecting bullets like that (may be related to his teleporting power) and being able to predict movement despite being blind. Who knows what else he's able to do. |

| woooo this is getting interesting. Really fucking happy the old squad 7 claw members are returning as the good guys, happy they weren't just a one time thing, and have genuinely thought about what they've done and decided to act up. All thanks to good old Regien with his crafty use of vocabulary. also, weird father son problem happening between class boss and his own son? I don't really know how to feel about Shou actually (i guess) wanting to stop his dad???? i kinda just... went eh? Wooooo mob really was giving 0 fucks this time, almost went super all out. oof even dimple got nervous about the situation. I fucking know Sugiyama Noriaki voice when i hear it. Fucking LOVE the guy. FYI some big names in anime he voice acts would be, Shirou from Fate Stay Night or Sasuke from Naruto. |
| This episode suddenly disappoint me a bit. Not because of the fake death, but because of too many new characters popping out. But anyway, it was a decent episode. |
 |
| Glad his parents and Ritsu are alive after all. Though their death will give a powerful moment in the series, I don’t think there’s a need to do that. Mob Psycho is not a “dark type” anime and there’s no need to go there. It’s awesome as it is. Another point is that it’s not good if Mob’s powers will draw from grief and revenge over his family’s death, that I think will be destructive to him rather than helping him to be more stronger. Also, it’s nice to see those Claw members are actually powerful and genuinely strong. I’m hoping to see a good fight between them and Mob and others. |

| How dare this episode play with my feelings |
 |
| Intense episode, I'm glad that Mob's parents and Ritsu are alright, it seems that Shou is an ally, I don't trust him much though yet. Glad to see the former 7th Division members helping out. So we finally get to meet the boss, Toichiro. Shou's father. |
* |
| What's going on wow, very good episode |
| So obviously his parents were still alive, that much was obvious. Mob's rage mode was nice, too short though. Cool that some other characters are getting more screentime as well, so far Claw seems OP which is pretty normal for the evil organization I guess. |
| well, not really surprised or let down that we didnt get a heavy plot twist on how mob's family is dead. come on this show is half comedy it'd be .. Odd to suddenly have heavy drama with our mc's family dying idk how we'd get comedy after that |
| So it was probably just dummies huh? I wasn't expecting that but I'm quite happy they aren't actually dead. I'm not too interested in the claw stuff though. I don't think I'll enjoy this final arc much |
 |
| I've nothing else to say other than that I'm glad that his parents are alright. They're too fricking sweet for something like that. Mob was pissed by Reigen was there to calm him down. |
 |
| As a dub watcher, one thing I noticed was that during the intro, Kyle McCarley (Mob)'s voice got a lot deeper. Really adds a new emotion to Mob's character. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| It was so satisfying seeing Mob actually being serious and beating those assholes with ease. I feel kinda stupid after ranting about the red-haired kid who went to the Kageyama residence. He's actually a rebel kid who hates his dad. Basically a good guy in this story. Also, Ritsu and the parents are doing well! So why didn't he just join up with the former Upper Echelons of the 7th Division? They could have coordinated much better this way. The former Upper Echelons of the 7th Division have teamed up with our known psychics. They don't seem menacing but having them on our side is surely good. The guys who planned for a mutiny were able to defeat the Upper Echelons of Divisions 1-6 but the 'Ultimates' took them all out. Ultimate 5 Shimazaki has the same VA as Sasuke, right? He seems to have multiple psychic powers. Super speed, teleportation, movement prediction, and hardened skin (?) Action-packed episode! The animation was a blast as usual. |

Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." β βββββ β£ βββββ β |
| Welp, I called it. They were indeed dummies and it wouldn't make sense to kill them. I'm curious about this main villain's kid. Is he simply in his rebellious phase or is he playing a bigger game here? Since even though he didn't kill the parents, he did burn the house down. Also, the guy who kidnapped the Prime Minister has Shirou's V.A. so that's a plus. |
