Yes, and as every good conman, he is fantastic at reading people.

Yet still incredibly empathetic

@@undeniablySomeGuy I think that's really the Key to what makes Reigen as a character. Even if he is technically a "con artist" he doesn't actually take advantage of anyone. People come to him with worries, doubts, problems. Often times these people are mistaken about the cause but he still finds a solution that works for them without harming their pride. He always find the solution to their problem, even if that solution isn't what the customer thinks it is.

@@anothisflame8266 exactly! Plus it's said multiple times he's one of the cheapest spirit businesses out there, and yet he's far more effective than a lot of the actual espers (see: Mogami arc when he figured out "Minori" was lying, Reigen spin-off)

Wouldn‘t even say that. He just noticed Mob was in distress and since he‘s a kind person, he helped him. Because that‘s his impulse.

There is a phrase saying: "With small changes from the past, can change the future"

@@animator_T30 theres another phrase "People dropping phrases irreverent to the speech to act smart"

@@animator_T30 BOOM! Butterfly effect!

Such a bruh moment

@@vaclavbastl500 Idk man the knowledge is pretty well known almost makes the phrase itself useless

Dang i didnt notice that

Now he -mob- smokes spirits

but he ate a whole burger in just 1 second

Bro same

It's funny because Diavolo would never say such thing

This show speaks truth

i kinda find more interest to the you’re not special. protect the ones you love. it has more of an impact on me than you’re the chosen one. protect mankind.

The themes this show has are amazing,with mob basing his entire life around those words reigen said in the beginning

man i really love this comment

@@kelesbeta well because it means that you don't need to be special to help and be a good person even to the contrary that there is no special person to come and rescue you from your bad situation so live a good life and act to make your life and other's better

@@Legend-nx1vx Dang.

What episode is this

@@damiantheduck123 watch the whole show and you'll find out, it's worth it

@@plasmodius9449 Agreed!!

That seems to be a thing with Reigen.

Ikr

That's because even when spouting BS, Reigen is genuinely trying to help and take care of his clients.

That's what makes Reigen such an interesting character. He is a conman, yes, but oddly enough, he still shows respect for the people he tricks. He never tries to abuse them, he just helps in an other way.

@@bdletoast09 He could "exorcise" people with come to him with a sore back by just chanting some bs and claiming it's done. Easy money. But he takes his time to give them a massage and actually solving their problems.

That's the thing, Mob never once asked Reigen if he could help him with his powers. All he did was earnestly confide in Reigen how being a naturally powerful esper scared him. From the start Reigen had always been a genuinely good person stuck in a bad job. He knew exactly what to say to Mob and didn't tell him to get lost. And all he said was "I'll show you how to use your powers." The best part is, Reigen did just that. He taught Mob to only use his powers for dealing with other supernatural issues. He gave him a strong moral compass and kept him on the right track. Mob was one bad day away from becoming just like the psychic villains of the show. Mob never worked for Reigen to learn how to be a better esper. He did it because he wanted to learn how to be a good person. In his eyes, Reigen is the ideal friend and personality.

Mob Psycho 100 is one of the best Shonen series of all time. It has a few issues justified by ONE's lack of experience, but it manages to tell a far more realistic story than many other series: even with all the psychic powers and the fights, this anime doesn't lose its focus and defines a bunch of very relatable main characters, with understandable life choices and strong relationships between each other. The most realistic anime from the last decade it's the story of a 14-years old kid with powers that can manipulate the reality. It seems pretty ironic.

@@boobooledgend84 One Punch Man is a parody of the shonen genre, so it's expected to be more comedic.

@@davidedalterio4979 yes I do know that but one day it would get boring ngl

@@boobooledgend84 >it would get very boring just watching some bald man in a jump suit and a red cape one punch everything right Even ignoring the comedy, that's still not what OPM is.

That's what happens when your charisma stat is over 9000.

Recycle? More like Alchemy

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that!

@@trogbison1625 Yeah! Rewatching it for finally being able to see S2 (with S1 fresh in memory), I was like "This is like that scene with Reigen from S2 isn't it?"

I'd definitely watch that.

Isnt there a fanfic on that? I think its called A breach of Trust

Could be awesome

There's a fanfic

"An *Alternative Universe* universe.." Congratulations, you played yourself.

@@hunler5962 Sir, have you been paying attention to what's been happening to Mob in Episode 4 and 5?

@@Nikita-lx5fr Yes because saying that is such a good argument point. If want to insult me like the moron you are then bug off.

@@hunler5962 fuck you mean Mob has no character development?

@@hunler5962 most coming of age stories with powerful good guy protagonists end up having villains who's purpose is to show what they could've been if things were a little different, that's Mogami. Mob is a positive influence on those around him and, in turn, he's now surrounded by friends who care about him. Following that we find out Mob meeting Reigen was a huge crossroads in both their lives. Reigen's arc kinda mirrors Mob's as he realizes how much meeting Mob changed him and how lucky he was to have him around to motivate him to be better. TL; DR social link rank up

@@hunler5962 oof, when you waste time watching anime and everything goes over your head

A lot of times we listen to words from other people other than our parents. Some for the worse, some for the better

So glad Shigeo met Reigen, guy seriously changed his life despite being a scammer.

AT ALL COST!!!

I feel the same, but honestly i think he can take care of himself xDDDD

@@GBRproductionsXD LUL

I dont think he needs anyone's protection

@@ibrahimelkhalilhadjadj2793 Yes and no. He can protect himself from espers and spirits, but aside from that, he's just a kid. And the show makes it a big point to stress that. He can still be manipulated and taken advantage of by adults, he has no idea what to do with his future, and he doesn't quite understand how the world works, which is why he needs people like Reigen and the Sports Club to look out for him.

Jojo fans when they hear the word arrow: 👀

*Happy birthday*

The same with Dimple being around him and Teru as well. Mob has hat effect on everyone

Quite? Dude!!!!!!

Not just Bones, but also One

@@sephrot6830 they only cared about the sakuga for that show (not that im complaining)

They especially care about Reigen, lol.

Of course they do. Despite the art style it's a series that deserves the attention

Not goona lie I didn't

Not gonna lie, I hate you.

@@potatoboy4913 I don't even know you hating is a big word you know

DJAAFAR DJAAFAR maybe he dislikes people so can’t spell correctly

Bruh

He was a good guy first And a con man second

If you got emotional in S2 get mentally ready for S3

that made me cry :'w

That's the great thing about this dude he's a good person but at the same time he's a very flawed one.

I think that is the main idea of this program, it shows us that although we are imperfect or without powers, we can shine with our good intentions (as they reign), even with our defects, highlighting our virtues.

that made me cry

WE MUST PROTECT HIM

Dude little mob at 1:35 is freaking adorable

yup! that's actually why he's there.

he's god damn adorable

Mini mob

spoiler In the end, Mf actually succeeded helping him controlling his powers and quelling his "psychotic" side

itsAlex64 i cries so hard at that part

Reading this made me cry W h y

Danger Illustrated Exactly. Even for comedy segments, the animation is unreal and fun. They put all that heart into the smallest details. That’s why it’s my favorite anime of all time.

studio bones are experts on animating verbal lenguage, they did the same with my hero academia and full metal alchemist, not matter what they say you instantly know what kind of personality the character have due to his movements and desings (mostly because they always try to be faithfull to the orginal source material even if sometimes they look like rubber but thats a nitpick). Its the Chuck Jones law of give the character his own way of movement to have an unique identidy and have a better look at visual storyteling.

1:13 I am. going to cr y

*y e s*

600th like btw

I KNOW but I didn't wanna comment it. He's just so FUCKKIN pRecious

protect this bean at all costs

😭😭

Reigen is the fastest I've ever gone from hating a character to loving them

violetmoon97 very true especially in episode 6 of the second season

And Reigen brightened Mob's life too

@@whyme3856 He really did, imagine what could've had happened if Reigen didn't tell those words to Mob, probably he would've ended up like the Teru at the beginning or even worst

and he was so nice too 🥺

Tbh i interpret Serizawa as exactly what Mob would had become if he didn't meet Reigen

Reigen is such a genuinely good guy that he's instinctively incapable of giving bad advices.

is this really accurate? Is every popular person you know actually kind?

@@JayAreAitch not necessarily, but being sociable and actually reaching out to people, and being kind to them, certainly helps.

What hit me the most was the part where Reigen said to just be a good person. It hit me because I have been just as socially awkward as mob. I also been learning how to feel like I fit in society and recently even got a college degree and a drivers license. I still get nervous around people but last week I spent a few hours talking to a really pretty woman and I’m glad to say that I have made quite a couple of new friends. I made a lot of improvements but it took a lot of moments of facing my fear of feeling rejected and like a failure to others. My social anxieties have been one of my biggest obstacles to my growth.

@@Redharvest10 Eyyy bro, glad you are overcoming your barricades :) for some reason i also "had" problems connecting to people, even my own family, i just think they wouldn´t understand me... Luckily i met some good people along the road and it is lovely how many kinds of personalities exist. I used to like to this anime but after watching season 2 it is my favorite series of all time, nothing else will replace the feelings this show has brought me. "People can change"

cellP8 “because they can change, they have value.” That also struck out to me. In fact I found myself crying in that episode where mob said that he should be more thankful for others that have been there for him. I’ve also had trouble connecting with my own family. I connect the best with complete strangers, some who felt like strangers to themselves but it was those same strangers that turned out to be the good people that I encountered along the road. Let’s be friends. I think we’ll have plenty of ups and downs to talk about.

@@Redharvest10 i don´t have many internet buddies, but ok xD

cellP8 awesome! Do you have any social media?

Can you please explain to me how the fuck the show is getting better? Nothing in season 2 compares to the first season, and especially everything after episode 3 has been fucking terrible.

@@hunler5962 ur joking right?

@@hunler5962 Hunler please tell me your joking.

@@hunler5962 What are you even talking about dude?

@@hunler5962 how dare you

Dude. The chapter when he discovers that that one girl was possessed by analizing her speech patterns. That was top-notch psychologist moment for me. I even thought before seeing the episode that tells what Reigen did before being a spiritualist that he was a psychologist that got interested after finding a magazine about Spiritualism. Although I kinda did guess the magazine thing xd

Ikr??

More like "Thank you for being impatient with your hot food and drinks, Reigen" 😂

he was doing both. he stops being a user and gains some respect for the kid after this episode.

I too cry when I see that man

Definitely. I'm far more interested in Mob Psycho because of the well written character development.

Arthur P. OPM is just a gag. It’s good but Mob Psycho is better because it has a good story and character development

The author, ONE, has even gone on record to say that he only writes OPM in his free time as a hobby. While Mob Psycho 100 is his serious work, where he puts all his time and effort into improving and fleshing out the characters.

Lol You guys are just saying so In terms of entertainment opm wins in my opinion Mob wins in character development

I like both.
