Tsubomi does (platonically) care about mob. She’s been keeping an eye out on him throughout the show (complimenting him on helping Emi, testing reigen with fake relationship questions to see if mob’s teacher is legit) and she waited through a freaking tornado because she realized how much it meant to him to get a chance to talk to her. Now that Mob has stopped putting her on a pedestal, hopefully they get a chance to actually become closer now (whether as friends or partners). People are mad that tsubomi rejected him, but the whole point of this finale is mob, who was previously motivated by the thought of tsubomi as his reason to improve himself, continues to try to improve even after she rejected him. It started off as being for tsubomi, but now it’s for himself. If you only want to become a better person to get a girl, then you’re not actually trying to self improve and you’ll backslide if the relationship ever falls apart

I put this season off for so long. To sit and watch it when it coincidentally became most relatable. For I fell for my ex again, after a period of struggling with mental health that made me dump her in the first place. And I know I must get better to be a good partner and a functioning human bean. And I’m struggling to separate my desire for improvement from her and place it upon myself. Do I really have to get rejected for it to work? Lol

Something I think people who found this ending lacklustre seem to forget: The main conflict of the show was never the big flashy fights or supernatural powers; it was Shigeo's conflict with his emotional state and powers, and Reigen's conflict with his ethics and morality. Both these conflicts are explored throughout the series, and finally we get to see Reigen finally open up properly to Shigeo, and Shigeo is finally able to experience a strong emotion without it overwhelming his powers.

[@murasakino101]

I liked how the title of this episode was called ‘Confession’. But it was never about Mob’s confession to Tsubomi. It was about Reigen’s confession to Mob that he was a fraud. That was what was important to him, and allowed him to grow as a person. It’s why Mob’s real confession took place off-screen, because that’s not what was important. It was about Mob learning to value himself as a person.

Seeing Mob cry so soon after being rejected made me so proud of him. He's struggled so much with being honest about his emotions and letting them out and here he just lets it all out. He's finally learned how to just feel without blowing up

[@Jamookems]

Mob had such a great conclusion. Finally had the courage to confess to Tsubomi, got rejected (thankfully tbh), and continued to better himself for no other reason than to better himself. Wish I had this series when I was younger, would’ve helped me make some realizations much sooner. Also him finally showing his emotions rather than holding them in, felt so good to see.

[@Okkotsu86275]

Why is it a good thing he got rejected

[@MattGarcyaDC]

Mm

[@Jamookems]

@@Okkotsu86275 Because the whole reason he joined the body improvement club was to try to be more confident for Tsubomi, rather than himself. A theme in the series was trying to become a better person for the sake of becoming a better person, rather than for selfish reasons or for someone else. Also, I just didn’t think Tsubomi ever showed any interest in him like that, and it wouldve felt forced if she accepted his confession. Allowing Mob to have a genuine plutonic relationship with his childhood friend was a good thing for him, and he will find someone who truly loves him. Thats my outlook on it anyway.

Super realistic. Tsubomi was still interested in mob, but he never once actually talked to her - just stalked her from the side and daydreamed. How is Mob any different from the 100 other guys who simp on her, even if he has history? After revealing his romantic interest and being rejected, nothing is inside mob anymore. He is 100% complete and shows his full kind personality and can talk to her as a friend- and they are getting along so well, Mob's friends already think they are boyfriend and girlfriend, which makes mob blush. He did the hard part - tell Tsubomi he likes her romantically. Now all's thats left is for her to decide if she feels the same way back. Whatever happens, happens. We know our boi Mob is okay.

Its honestly fitting for the serie’s theme of how people are not often entitled to the things they want in life.

[@specialxlim5175]

There was absolutely no way she would have accepted Mob. He was hard in her friendzone and given he always pedestalized her, Mob was already playing a losing game. The only way he can now get her is to first free himself from her grasp completely by treating her like a normal girl he sees at the neighborhood but doesn't care to know the name. He needs to build a good physique (even if it means using his powers to dope) and get POPULAR. Very important. Once he gets his looks and popularity up, other girls will start noticing him, Tsubomi as well. Using female jealousy is one of the most efficient ways to get a girl. At that point, Tsubomi will be the one to start approaching him (maybe even start pedestalizing him depending on how much of a chad he's become) and he can use that to his advantage. Dating is all a mind game and if you're not ready for it, sit back at home and play video games. NB: Never confess to a girl twice. NEVER!! It will make her feel you did all that effort just for her and unlike in fairy tales, this will turn her off. If you want the girl who rejected you in the past, study the kind of guys she likes (usually bad boys) and try to copy some of their traits and habits. If you can't, just look for another girl.

This is not a show about a regular guy who learns to use his powers. It’s more like a set of powers that learns to be human. Absolutely beautiful. I’m gonna miss this show

[@AshXXMayftw]

Honestly, she made the right choice. Not saying Mob wouldn't make a good boyfriend, he's a swell guy overall, but neither of them really knew each other. She knew about his powers, and he knew she liked them and didn't find them off-putting, but it felt as if neither really knew who each other were. Getting into a relationship with someone you know next to nothing about is not a good idea. So, now that they're actually talking to one another, if their relationship keeps developing, it could result in a romantic relationship further down the road. And seeing as Tsubomi actually waited for him despite everything going on, it tells me she respects him at the very least.

[@attilathenun]

I feel exactly the same way. They both made the right call, irrespective what they end up being down the line, they are both going to be a better person for it.

[@danieltsiu7383]

Agree and disagree. Dating is all about getting to know someone. For some it’s important to already know the person but not everyone is the same. In tsubomi’s case, Mezato mentions Tsubomi is rather independent and doesn’t keep her heart on her sleeve. She’s simply not looking for a relationship. I mean she rejected so many guys with no mention of actually looking to date.

[@risacooper]

I mean, they do mention that afterwards the both of them keep in touch and call each other, so they're doing the getting to know part now. Whether or not they end up dating sometime in the future is left up to your own imagination

[@nikob6597]

She also mentioned “yet.” She open to the possibility.

[@danielmunoz1275]

She does respect Mob, after all she admired his actions when he supported the girl that dated him for a dare, when her "friends" were bullying her about writing a "cheesy" novel. She also was about to cheer Mob during the marathon, but stopped herself when seeing Mob was so out of breath and focused on keep going that he wouldn't notice. Overall, even though it sounded rude, Dimple was right when he told Mob "Tsuboni-chan will never date you Mob, she knows herself and her values very well, and she knows how to say no." She respectfully waiting for Mob's arrival, and told him "I don't see you in any romantic way", but this opened the door for Mob regaining communication with her, from what it is explained, she is similar to Mob in the sense that she doesn't show her true self too much, but now Mob is a sincere friend, and one that she needs given her school change, because she's starting anew and has no friends there (not that she can't make new friends, but having a good friend through a new and unknown situation is always good and helpful).

[@Miccolo321]

They titled this all wrong; it’s “Kageyama Shigeo asks Tsubomi out” He is no longer Mob because that was just him keeping his emotions in check, he’s accepted himself as he truly is.

[@sashsuv6485]

it was also kinda just his nickname because of his haircut, you're reading too deep into it.

[@sashsuv6485]

just rewatched the end scene and he is still referred to as mob

[@Miccolo321]

I didn’t mean that in a literal sense as Mob and Shigeo are both one and the same; I meant the entire last episode was symbolic to him finally obtaining control and accepting himself as he truly is. He no longer keeps his emotions in check and he’s finally free to express himself how he sees fit. This is why the scene said “Kageyama Shigeo 100%” instead of “Mob 100%” because hes finally free of that mindset of losing control. The fact you even pointed out it was a nickname further proves the symbolism as Mob was an Alias of Shigeo

[@xlament6926]

the whole time I was hoping tsubomi rejected mob, because he held her on way too much of a pedestal to have a proper relationship. I'm happy they addressed this issue perfectly, that was a really good way to end the show

[@dreamhollow]

The most beautiful thing about this moment is this: In this moment, completely voluntarily, Mob allows his emotions to show completely. He allows himself to feel something, to visibly show that he's in pain, and he's no longer holding himself from feeling things. I mean heck, Mob Psycho III is very blatantly about Mob finally letting his barriers down and allow himself to feel things. /He's human./ In Mob Psycho I, Dimple outright calls Mob "livestock without emotions" and the crux of the battle revolves around that. He's made such huge changes to himself and his life.

[@kenethernandez6246]

Took it like an absolute chad. He let it out and moved on and by the end he was actually able to speak to her frequently now without being nervous. Mob really is built different. One of the greatest anime protagonists I've seen in a long while.

[@francismanalang5357]

Although him getting rejected is sad, the significance of this scene is that he is finally able to cry and let his emotions out rather than hold it in and have his % meter go up. He has finally come to terms with his repressed self. Personally, I felt that this scene of him crying was actually a happy moment. He is finally able to express himself fully with his friends comforting him, which is also why the ending scene of him genuinely laughing was so beautiful. Also, throughout the series, one of Ritsu's biggest fears was Mob getting rejected by Tsubomi because he believed it would cause him to explode. Mob's reaction in this scene really shows how far his development has come.

[@bladewolf39]

Mob gets rejected, but when you really think about it, this confession was really different compared to the ones Tsubomi got before. Here, she was willing to wait for Mob, regardless of the ensuing chaos that surrounded her cuz at least she and Mob were friends at one point, unlike the other boys who confessed that she had no idea who they were to begin with. To me, it seems like though she doesnt feel the same way for Mob, that might change. Compared to the other boys, at least she still opened a line of communication with Mob. At least she still talks with him on a daily basis. The other boys only saw Tsubomi as a pretty face, while Mob already knew what Tsubomi was like from the start.

[@Exclusivesociety]

This is a really realistic take on how rejections usually are. It sucks, but the important thing is that you finally did it. Even if you get rejected. you can tell it was the right choice because there's this sweet-feeling that tells you, "Atleast I did it".

[@karmabx]

bro this scene had me crying so hard. As a fellow man, i can testify that society really does tell us men that expressing saddness is a sign of weakness and immaturity. But to me, the sign that a boy has turned into a true man, is like what mob did. He accepted his feelings and kept moving forward to be the best of himself despite the setback.

I think most fans figured by Season 3 that Mob had put Tsubomi on a huge pedestal and had a crush on the _idea_ of her without really getting to know her very well. Since a rejection was pretty much the only real outcome from him asking her out, not showing the actual conversation between them was a great stylistic choice. It's like the act of asking her out (and getting rejected) wasn't that big a deal. The big deal was that for the first time in the series, we see Mob cry freely about some regular 14-year old girl trouble.

But with mob she says she has " *yet* to see him that way". He got shot down but that doesnt mean the chance is gone for good, the rejection even got him to start talking to her more, which will inevitably make their relationship blossom. Will they actually begin dating or will their relationship stay completely platonic? Who knows but either scenario is likely, and I like that.

I believe this ending is to show that yes Mob is afraid of rejection yet his other self was doing it for him. So now he has the willpower to ask her out. Yet he still got rejected and is now experiencing it to develop further as a person.

[@yvonnemorgan4650]

well mob just proves that no matter how much power you have, your heart is just as vulnerable as anyone elses.

This series will be my bloodlines tradition from now on. I'm genuinely not joking, i will make it a father son bonding ritual that everyone in family is gonna do

[@alinasser8990]

W father

W Choice of anime and W tradition and W father you a 🐐

[@Rembreiker_lychec9257]

What a perfect way to end the series. Mob Psycho 100 is PEAK FICTION!!!

[@symphonixblades]

It's not the story ending tho there's 1 chapter left which I hope they adapt it into an OVA or something like that

[@RoadVill]

@@symphonixbladesthey did ovas for season 1 and 2, so I think they’ll do an ova for season 3

[@MisterH1992]

That's perfectly fine. Rejection is a part of life. At least Mob can move on instead of wondering what it could have been.

[@rohanprince96]

One of the very few anime where I was happy/ not sad or disappointed on seeing the best guy get rejected. After all, this moment showed how much Mob grew as a character. One of my top anime for sure.

[@KanaHyoshi]

I really appreciate that she waited through all that and still remained honest. I'm also very happy Shigeo accepts her honesty and lets himself cry around those who will continue to support him.

[@LeoZhao01]

This is the first time you see Mob expressing actual emotion, every other time he used his psychic powers as a medium for his emotions and they were the catalyst for releasing his power, but in this moment it is mob in his purest most normal self, it's Mob Kageyama at 100%

[@casacara]

Tsubomi seeing the world ending destruction headed her way and still staying so she can say no just shows me she’s built different. Mad props.

[@RebornDPK]

mob can finally show is emotion without getting out control.

[@magnetoencephalograph]

I really loved this ending and honestly, I loved Tsubomi so much. What made her such an impactful person to Mob was always that she was honest to a fault. She accepts the feelings of every guy who confesses to her and turns them down personally one by one, no matter how annoying it gets for her lol. She sits through a tornado on the slim chance that Mob will show up, because she made a promise to him to be there. And as a kid, she was honest about getting bored with Mob’s powers, which made him realize that power doesn’t make you a well-rounded or even interesting person. Mob has known her since long before she became the school idol, back when she was the kid who would get bored and go home in the middle of hide and seek. He knows that she respects both him and herself too much to ever lie to spare his feelings. And if he can ever become someone who she admires, he’ll know that he really earned it. And he did! Even though she turned him down, she clearly did it out of a massive amount of respect for an important friend. Throughout the whole series, we’ve seen glimpses of her watching Mob from afar. She sees how far he’s come. And despite turning Mob down, she still keeps in touch with him after she moves. As Reigen says, “they can exist without distorting each other.” They can be their most honest selves with each other. Romance or no, that’s a special thing. I love Tsubomi.

[@animepenguin7254]

Such a good show and scene. Love she said yet and that they actually become friends after this. Amazing

[@notbrandon721]

He may not think about it but he's shown how impressive he can be towards other girls throughout the series.

[@meatydonut6477]

My boi Mob had more courage than any of us. I could’ve never even try to ask my high school crush out

[@Daonechilling69]

Wish u could go back in time huh

[@shadowwilson7282]

Mob has come a long way to better himself. Even if he was rejected, that's okay. Expressing much emotions is a part of life. Reigen it's truly a great man to help out Mob the best way he can and beginning was truly a masterpiece. I literally cried that it's over, but Mob can be happy and experience life-changing moments.

[@Daosguard]

I think we all knew that rejection was coming. They barely ever talked to each other. Glad they didn't try to go the guy gets the girl route here.

[@uniqueImpulse]

it’s so refreshing to see mob cry, feeling his emotions naturally like that 🥺

[@benjaminamudoaghan]

Crazy that its been 9 months since the finale

[@darkenergy9760]

What a perfect ending to a perfect show.

[@revenantgamez1551]

Getting to see Shigeo experience emotion normally has to be the drop that tipped the bucket for me. Such a beautiful ending.

[@ariira9331]

the way they animated him makes me so emotional aisjwinsks

[@kratosmessi649]

This hits harder right after a rejection

[@guydothings4991]

Girl sat through a tornado just to turn this poor man down...

[@emorydaniel9084]

Reigen’s development cannot be overstated in this episode. Yes, he is a compulsive liar and used Mob’s powers to his benefit throughout, but there is no denying that Kageyama is like a son to him

[@idiotrat2698]

this is an amazing ending because it shows that not everything has to have a perfect ending, but a "bad" ending doesn't have to be overdramatic and terrible. mob confessed and got turned down; it's a perfect way to end the series.

[@ReaIHuman]

At least he took his shot. That's more than alot of people.

[@Patfan91]

This is very healthy, it’s better to try, fail and learn from the experience then to become bitter and resentful. It’s ok to be upset and move on 👍

[@guiltyboi2203]

I'm thankful that they didn't end up together tbh. It had more of an impact letting us know that Mob even after the show, still has room to grow. It's been a nice run with mob psycho

[@Xkid19]

god the music in this scene is just immaculate

[@savantus1]

I think I finally get where the % comes from , it isn't about him losing his control it is about how close he is to showing his true self which is what the stress does.

[@henryaung7229]

It is absolutely perfect that Shigeo was rejected. Tsubomi is fawned over my pretty much every boy in school, and she respectfully rejects every single one cause why would she say yes? She's not looking for a relationship, she's shown to be a well-rounded person who knows what she wants, the opposite of Mob at the start. Mob has put her on a pedestal thinking she's special, and that pedestal has kept him away from truly interacting with her. (this is not special, his teen crush is dime-a-dozen) During the epilogue we see that Shigeo now well-rounded has been actually talking with Tsubomi on the phone quite a bit, and they've become actual friends. And it's a genuine friendship and not just Mob being a nice guy. In the end despite being rejected, Shigeo is actually closer to Tsubomi than he's ever been, and if they do form a relationship it'll be stronger because of the effort he's put in. Just like how muscles earned through hard work beat muscles made with Esper powers. Mob learned from the start to not think of himself as any more special than another person, the last lesson he truly learned is to not view Tsubomi as any more special. Which has ironically let him have a more special relation to her than before.

[@dontsaynothing4092]

Just imagine what would have happened if ???% won, and he waltz up to tsubomi tornado blazing, demon face on and hands her flowers. When she saw that mob destroyed the city just for her, she would have been way more harsher than a simple rejection.

am i the only one that wanted to cry with him?

I’m in my 30’s but I recently got rejected by someone who had told me they liked me, this helps a lot.
