rainbow dash applies for a job

why is half of youtube filled with 47 minute long videos that look like this

Clueless

This is actually it. Like this is the point of the show

Season 1 mob was without social connections besides reigen who had guaranteed that his moral presence in mob’s life would help him control himself. Mob’s fixation on nonviolence and kindness was not a legit ethical standpoint but rather a barrier he deployed in order to protect those around him from what he believed was an inherent danger within himself. His pacifism was a defense mechanism and not a legitimate tool for empowerment. We can see this in how insecure and unable to explain these morals he was during the beginning, how easily moral opposition unsettled him because HE HIMSELF didn’t truly know enough about what he was preaching to provide rebuttal, only enough to know that it kept others and especially ritsu out of harms way.

It is only through his interactions with the people around him that he begins to construct his own perspective on life, that which amalgamates the stubborn altruism reigen preaches (because reigen thinks he understands what mob’s going through, and gives advice and offers platitudes in his delusional empathy) and the critical messages that characters such as mogami offer. I think it’s really interesting to look at the season 1 finale and season 2 finale with this in mind; in the former we see mob drop all responsibility onto reigen to solve the situation because reigen is someone he trusts to make smart decisions and consequently replicates without thinking for himself (manifesting in 1000% gratitude); in the latter, however, mob brushes off reigen’s offers to help because he has morally matured and won’t be lost in a morally compromising situation (eg his clash with toichirou) without another’s guidance. This isn’t a comment on whichever was the “correct” decision but rather a celebration of mob’s character development

Mob psycho 100 is a story of empowerment, about choosing to be kind in the face of the worlds horrors not because of naivety but because of experience.

You grab that kid, I'll get the other one!

What drives me insane is that Reigen is capable of so much good and he can see none of it. He stopped smoking because it was hurting a little boy he barely knew. He took payments from someone struggling with finances in the form of fucking seeds. He didn't assume Mob was going through a rebellious phase or assume ANYTHING bad of him when he started hurting people in claw arc, even though he's the one who instructed him on never using his powers like that, and immediately saw the situation and understood that he would've had to have been in so much danger to even CONSIDER doing that. After years of going down a bad path he starts trying to reform himself because he realized his inaction and refusal to work on himself had been hurting that little boy he met. He cleared his schedule to help him train for a marathon. He took him and his friends out on a vacation after things had gone to shit to help them calm down. He hired an ex member of a hell organization because he was out of a job and having a shitty time and gave him the benefit of the doubt even when he had NO obligation to. He went barefoot in a tornado to save a kid when nobody would've blamed him for turning tail and running. He went out of his way to take off his shoes to make sure everybody knew if they found his body that it wasn't a murder. He has so much potential to do good and all he needed was a reason to think that he was capable of good, that he wasn't just an irredeemable bastard.

And that reason just happened to be Mob.

god every time i watch black vinegar arc im struck again by how good of an adaptation of the source material this is. like. their proportions look so much more childlike than they do in pretty much every other episode

like this doesnt look like an epic anime battle this is just a child having a breakdown and taking it out on another kid who refuses to fight back until he cant anymore. theyre just kids. god.

Heating up in seasoning city !!

(I imagine Reigen takes them + Teru and Shou to the beach or something . Hell yeah)
