Onigawara (the guy that looks like Josuke) went from being that annoying side character; seemingly there only for the plot of the current episode and to never be mentioned again- To being one of my favourite characters. You watch him grow, starting to hang around more with the Fitness Club and it’s members, forming a sibling bond (or maybe even father-son bond) with the group leader. And then he gives away one of his pairs of running shoes so that Mob can get a better place in the marathon. All of these small things, small acts of kindness and development add up, and that’s exactly why i love Mob Psycho. Even side characters that never really impact the story that much get developed, and you see them going from annoying stuck-up jerks to genuinely nice people.

[@amberqueen01]

i remember rewatching mp100 and realising 'damn onigawara really had a full on character arc outside of our view,, probably on the same scale of change as teru's character development just not as focused on in the main story'

[@Mello_Loves_Chocolate]

Actually, Onigawara is based on Metal Bat, the S class hero from OPM, not Josuke (even though they both look very similar) but it makes sense since OPM and Mob Psycho 100 are both written by the same author. Both characters also look alike and have the same "tough but nice inside" delinquent personality. Metal Bat has a rather touching fight scene with Garou in season 2, which ended when Metal Bat`s little sister broke up the fight by telling them she didn't want to see any more violence or pain to her big brother. I thought this was similar to the bond between Onigawara and the Body Improvement Club prez. because he is trying to help Onigawara change himself, and give up fighting just for kicks. Also like Onigawara, Metal Bat started out as a background character for one episode - but slowly started to come into view as an interesting, worthwhile hero rather than as an extra.

[@hmm4232]

Actually someone did say that onigawara was actually josuke and was confirmed by the creator or something, so yeah, josuke alright.

[@confusedturtle183]

also finding out 2 minutes later that Onigawara legit just accidentally bought the wrong size shoes for himself and didn't know what to do with them made me laugh. Like that was a genuinely funny bit

[@dhanvi3]

Like, I remember noticing that when Onigawara joined the Fitness Club he too lagged behind the others like Mob. But in one of the later episodes, in season 3, he can be seen running alongside others. We do see him grow, even after his decision to change himself.

[@eminayr]

As a guy who agrees Mob > OPM (even as a manga reader), I do think you're selling Saitama short... It's kinda the point that Saitama's depressed in spite of his strength and power, and only ever really finds a hint of happiness when he's chilling around in a cramped apartment with his friends eating hotpot and playing video games. Even though Mob is written better and is more relatable, it's not that Saitama doesn't grow, he just hasn't realized how he has - not in terms of power, but socially

[@K.Dayana]

See this? This needs more attention.

[@kroiner]

Although this is true, saitama does not actively seek to change at all, genos and king and fubuki and bang, all just fall into his lap, and he even actively rejects them at times. Ultimately OPM wasnt supposed to be well written, as opposed to mob psycho which is. Therefore OPM will necessarily be worse than mob psycho, at least as far as the complexity of the 2 series are compared.

[@ED-fq3xw]

Definetly agree. Saitama has lost his purpose in life due to being so OP which leads to this dull mundane borderline depressed state he is in.

Regardless its massive success, MP100 is still heavily underrated. I guess if it got an art style change or redrawn like Murata did with OPM, it will gain so much more traction. But now that we're here, I'm loving everything about MP100. It's perfect for me. Definitely 10/10. ONE is such a genius writer. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves, his works are getting all the love they deserve, and they're getting ones of the best animations they deserve (esp MP100, BONES really delivered). *the subtle MP100 ost in this video is giving me so much feels.

[@jacemoran1190]

Another thing I like about Mob’s art style is how simple it is. Honestly this anime is one of my favs for comedy and that comes from the goofy ass way everybody moves in this anime occasionally interjected by some super well drawn serious shot.

[@kergutierrez4165]

After finishing S1 of Mob Psycho, i realized how good or great reigen was. I know he's a scammer because of his business, and it's amazing because he could have used mob to do anything for his sake. He could actually use mob to rob a bank or anything, but he didn't and he even taught mob not to rely too much on powers or use his power to hurt others. I'd say, that's a great character.

[@LuciusC]

The irony of it wasn't lost on me. You could tell that most of the "life lessons" Reigen had for Mob were transparently for his own sake, usually to get him to do what he wanted in that moment. But even so, the things he was saying were still based on a solid moral framework so it worked out in the end.

In that respect, you still are not the ultimate hero, Saitama. Lamenting over the fact that you are strong seems shallow and arrogant, don't you think? What does it take to be the ultimate hero, is it an unwavering sense of justice, the courage to face any hardship? Until you found the answer to that question, how can you say that you feel bored?" Saitama reiterates "Everything I do just makes me feel empty inside." King Goads Saitama into playing Video Games with him "C'mon I'll only use one finger per hand!" Saitama falls for the provocation "No Take Backs!" It's a very important moment for Saitama's growth Sure nothing is going to happen immediately But Saitama's goal expanded just a bit He has lived his life chasing his goal when he finally reached it he was alone in the truest sense of the word Now he has people beside him people who will help him grow in other ways help him obtain new goals Give his life just a bit more meaning than it currently has It's not that Saitama doesn't grow it's that he needs help growing he hit a wall and he doesn't know how to get passed it The changes might be slight but they are there The changes Saitama needs are more Internal While the Changes Mob needs are more External It's easier to see external change especially from a young child who is still finding himself

[@eamon1200]

I just came back to watch this video after watching the latest episode (Season 3 Episode 6) because I feel like I did myself a disservice not rewatching the first two seasons before season 3 came out. The first five episodes of season 3 follow mob and everyone else in a comedic aftermath of the Toichiro battle, with a compounding mystery unravelling throughout about what's going on with the big broccoli. I remember after finishing season 2 that Mob Psycho was my favorite anime. But I feel like I kind of forgot WHY it was in the wait for season 3 and watching those first 5 episodes. Because those episodes are like the first couple of episodes of season 1. Funny day in the life of Mob episodes where Reigen relies on Mob to exorcise the ghost of the week. Episode 6 is everything else. Episode 6 reminded me what it was I love about this show and I cried. Am crying after having the memories flood back of those first two seasons thanks to this video. The fights, the characters, the emotions, the philosophy...Mob Psycho is a beautiful masterpiece (bold take I know) of a show, and I cannot thank you enough for encapsulating all of it in one video, and helping me remember everything I love about this show and why it's my favorite.

The "Saitama does nothing" part was actually tackled by King (Chad Finessed) funnily enough. He basically lists down everything you've said, "Do something outside your strength if you're so empty, join the local community or get another hobby." The chapter was a deep conversation between King who has fame/respect but weak and Saitama who was strongest but has nothing. It just all ends with Saitama saying "Lol sounds like too much work." So I guess its comedy and he'll never change.

[@HippasosofMetapontum]

the funny part is that king is stressed because his life is always making him fall right in the middle of the chaos until he somehow got to the top of the most dangerous profession in the world, while his true passion is to play videogames, he isn't miserable because he doesnt know what to do,he is miserable because he is a regular dude who is called to fight city destroying robots, he even grows and goes againts his fearfull nature to help others, so while they both struggle with their lives, king actually tries to better himself outside his confort zone

Both the fact that Saitama will never have the ideals of a true hero and (more importantly) that King will never be exposed is exactly why Scamboli and many others say MP100 is better than One Punch Man, since one is plot, and development based while the other is satirical and just a deconstruction of the cliche zero to hero shounen story

[@TheBioventuresteam]

The difference between Mob and Saitama is that one was born with 'ultimate power' and hates it because it forces them to live a dissatisfying life before gradually learning how to live with it so their life can be satisfying, but overall outside of that lives what would be a relatively mundane and peaceable life without that power so the difficulty to do so is mostly focused on their power. Whereas the other spent years of his life to achieve the goal of 'ultimate power' because his life was well, relatively horrible as shown by his origin story and the good amount of flashbacks he had in the manga, (which also showed off quite a few more depowered fight scenes that show just how much he had to struggle to prove himself before), only to realize once he'd achieved it that, while the time and effort he'd spend towards it was the end result was exactly what he'd wanted, the actual result was dissatisfying, and had made it so he could never reattain the feelings of achievement he had gained while working towards it due to said power ensuring he'd permanently need to put no effort in to succeed in his actions ever again. Mob is depressed because he's never truly lived life because he believed his power meant he couldn't, but now that he is he's realizing he can find fulfillment in life while working with it despite the struggle it can be. Saitama is depressed because he's lived life and never found fulfillment in it outside of when he was trying to achieve power, but once he'd succeeded realized it instead had taken away the only thing that he'd found to give his life that feeling of fulfillment, the struggle of working towards that goal, because now even with the barest of effort he'll always achieve it. In other words, Mob is a teenager learning to live life after believing he had to dedicate it to one goal, Saitama is a man who dedicated his life to one goal and achieved it, only to burn himself out after achieving it once he realized it hadn't been the goal he'd been after, but the struggle it took to achieve it So I can't really agree with your depiction of Saitama here, which is a shame because I like a lot of the other points you make, especially for Mobpsycho100, you're only taking into account the character he is, not how he became it, which is an important factor for him. Saitama isn't a protagnist who's trying to achieve his goals and growing as a character as he does, he's a protagnist who's already achieved his goals and grown while doing so and now is trying to live life without them and the results of how they made him grow as a character. With Saitama you read the story of the hero who's already long since succeeded in his goals but burnt out by doing so and didn't really know how to continue living anymore without them, with Mob it's the opposite. You also have to take into account how vastly different both of their worlds and settings are, Saitama wouldn't develop the same way he did in Mob's world, and Mob wouldn't in Saitama's world, but for their perspective worlds the way they developed makes sense as characters. They're two sides of a coin yes, but not the same coin, just a pair of similar ones

[@ureyesrbleeding1]

Saitama was basically given the power too, his training regiment is literally just do some situps, pushups, squats and go for a run

[@TheBioventuresteam]

@@ureyesrbleeding1 ​ Along with constantly fighting monsters way out of his league and only coming out on top because of sheer willpower most of the time as evidenced by his multiple flashback sequences in the manga. He'd also technically been training for more than the 3 years he talked about. The earliest he began training was as a literal student, though that consisted of him getting his ass literally created into a wall by a monster in the early days of their arrival and nearly die, but still manage to take it out I believe hours, tho it might've been days later, I have to reread that section, from sheer tenacity. Iirc it's implied he did this more than once before entering the extended state of depression/apathy we see him in from attempting to work as a businessman before he's revived from it by Crablante and he begins actively dedicating his life to 'training'. Also, like, it's well documented the level of training he was doing was not some easy ass training people can actually do without already having a background in cardio and the like, which Saitama did fucking not at all have when he started, or else suffer potentially severe physical disability, especially if they tried to consistently, uncompromisingly stick to it like Saitama did. Was it enough to justify his level of power we seem him at? No, but it was a good enough starting stone to make him relatively powerful in a world where tanktops are literally magic, it was the sheer doggedness, and constant fights against way overpowered monsters he consistently had while undergoing his 'training' that ended up leading to the breaking of his limiter, and eventual sheer degree of overpowered bullshit he became The anime for some reason hasn't covered any of the flashbacks except for crablante (which was necessary to be fair), but in the manga it showed him getting his ass regularly kicked unbelievably hard, even after he broke his limiter (though he broke it in as Saitama-esque fashion as he could) before he reached the 'balding!tier' the anime follows him at.

Actually I watch OPM to see if he can overcome his existential dread arising from his inability to derive any real joy from life. He had a vision, he wanted to be a hero, he worked hard for aaaaaaaaand he got there. Now what? I relate to Saitama, not because I'm fucking able to smash a mountain, but because I also have worked towards goal after goal only to find that there's nothing at the summit of the mountain. You climbed only to find a peak, and, as I said earlier, now what? What I've come to realize is that no matter where you go and what you do, if the problem is you, there's no escape. No amount of power can save Saitama from his own unhappiness, and likewise, no amount of accomplishment could ever save me from mine. That's why I relate to him as a character, and deeply appreciate the story. No more "if I do enough pushups, with enough belief in myself, I'll accomplish anything and everything!" It's grounded, it's a very real struggle with no overblown Disney happy ever after answer. The answer to "How do I become happy?", at least from OPM, is "I don't know", and that's probably the most honest answer you can give someone to that question. There is no one, surefire way achieve happiness or success in life. But the least you can do is try, and a good place to look, is by forming meaningful connections to the people around you. I'd like to add that you say Saitama has "no internal weakness/struggle", and I know it isn't exactly a common issue to struggle with, but apathy is very much a problem. Not just like a general disregard for politics and football or whatever, no, I mean apathy, the inability to feel invested in life and yourself. Feeling completely demoralized and demotivated. It's hard to get out of, because the world and everything in holds little meaning to you, if any, so why bother? It's rare to want to get out of a state of real apathy, and that's probably why it has taken Saitama so long, and the help someone so persistent as Genos, before he starts even remotely working towards getting out of that state.

[@ricasiogaming7873]

Omg i really don’t think I could’ve articulated it better myself. And yea it kinda bugged me how he makes it seem like Saitama is flawless and has no human aspects to relate to. Anyone who’s felt life is pointless deadend or felt extreme apathy or boredom can relate to Saitama.

[@Alexa-bp8rm]

So glad you mentioned this, Saitama is a very human character. The other reason I continued watching the show is because of how the show frames Saitama's dilemma. Saitama could be the most powerful villain too, so why does he choose to be a hero? He really wants to get some basic respect and appreciation for all he does but never gets it from anyone. So he becomes a husk of a person, driven by a wish his former self made. It reframes what being a hero' means - sure he is overpowered and saves the day, but getting no recognition from the people he dedicated his only wish to has got to suck. Then Genos comes along and his admiration of Saitama helps him realize a little bit that he's not fighting bad guys for nothing, and that Saitama's power and dedication does actually inspire people. Saitama can't feel satisfied with himself, but the best thing that happens to him isn't the cool power, its the strong bonds he makes with people.

I agree but opm does have conflict. Saitama with himself, he very much seems depressed. Extreme indifference is a symptom of depression. It's very subtle but as the story has gone on you can see siatama becoming more willing and excited to help out, he starts seeing Geno's, king and others as friends vs inconveniences. I think saitama is very authentic (minus his powers) it's just one that's not easy to pick up on, it does exist though. Not all depression manifests as sadness.

@@Ailorn What's interesting is that in season 2 he seems to me to be happier which is in part to him now having a friend in King and it's always good to have friends to help you in hard times.

I noticed through the video you mentioned that Saitama barely shows emotion unless he's serious. However, in the panel where he holds Genos's core after Cosmic Fear mode Garou threw it at him you can tell he's angry.. even a little sad to see his disciple pretty much die, he considered Genos as a close friend after a while and wanted to help him become better than he is, Saitama also witnesses all his friends die just from Cosmic Fear Garou existing, this also makes him angry, but he doesn't show the expression. So even though Mob has character and weakness, Saitama has the ability to feel and care for those around him even when he doesn't show it. Still, loved the video, you're an amazing creator Scamboli. :)

Omfg, the voicing sounds like literal story telling, like sheeeesh, respect dude, and the topics he talks upon are so deep yet interesting, just amazing, good work dude, and keep it up :>

This is one of my favorite anime reviews...maybe ever? I loved Mob psycho when it first started airing all those years ago, but could never really articulate why - and here comes along your review hitting each and every point. The editing, the narration, the music choice, watching this video reminded me why MP100 left such an imprint on me even after all this time. Mob himself is one of the most sympathetic characters I've ever met because so little of him is rounded in the shape of a shonen hero and so much of it is just...himself. The approach ONE took with MP100 makes the story and characters feel so genuinely themselves, imperfections, asshole and awkward moments and insecurity and all. It unflinchingly called out Reigen in his flaws, forced Mob into a world where even he failed to overcome (and then bounced back from after), and just...auuuuuugh just remembering Reigen's words to little Mob, about how nothing, not intelligence, strength, charisma, or even superpowers make any person better or worse for it. Just being good to yourself and the people around you and move forward, is all. Man I loved that show. I remember a lot of animes for their flashy animation or amazing fight scenes, but mob psycho definitely stays with you because of that quiet little guy with a strong spirit and a good heart.

Mob Psycho 100 is such a **sniff** masterpiece. AND WE HAVEN’T EVEN REACHED THE TRUE END YET.

Your voice is so calming, and when you say something like “i cried like a little bitch” for some reason it still sounds so calming- Love all ur videos!

[@MediocreKing]

I come back and watch this every few months, it's just such a good video and I love both shows (OPM2 notwithstanding) and really gets to what makes Mob so great. But like you said it fits a more niche audience and that's fine too.
