Thoughts on Mob Psycho 100?
it's good but it's popular so it's bad
Genuinely like it, even though it tends to trip over its own message a lot.Hard carried by the animation, of course.
Mob is a cuck, so I'm obligated to hate it despite genuinely good animation and fight scenes
>>288541845Stop being a faggot and just like what you want to like.
>>288541822It's super solid, the story, the animation, and the ending>>288541911This, i don't care what other people say
>>2885418454chan in a nutshell
>>288541848The absolutely weakest part of it is Mob himself. I don't necessarily mind some of the moral lessons but he is the worst kind of autist, the completely non-functioning void of a person kind rather than the "single-mindedly obsessed with trains or Kamen Rider" kind that you can still respect and relate to. It takes the whole three seasons for him to even begin to resemble a human being.Literally everything else is great though, so I still love the show.
The Claw Boss arc is a huge stain on the whole thing but he thankfully sticked the landing very well, overall great manga
>>288541845/thread
>>288541822I'm not getting a job Mob, fuck off.
I'm glad this one got the good anime adaptation instead of OPM despite being less popular.
why are nips obsessed with wageslaving
>>288541822good stuff. reigen best character
I love Mob Psycho 100. I don't know why "be a normal person" is such a frustrating moral to people.
>>288541822The art kinda filters me a bit. I do kinda like it despite that. I still need to finish it. There's some good stuff there but it failed to really keep my interest long enough to get through it all. Maybe I should start that up again next time I finish something else.
>>288542383>frustrating moral to peopleIt's frustrating to sociopaths, it's more common than you'd think.
>>288542383I wonder why a genre filled with shit like Isekai escapist fantasy be highly successful have an audience that refuses to accept reality
>>288541822Last season is boring. Mob should have recovered from his oneitis at the end but he doesn't.
>>288542383Because being "normal" is just modern parlance for being a slave. It is a state of being that is forced upon you by those with more power than you which is exactly what Mob does in the manga.The guy who makes cans is not rewarded for his efforts and the guy who's never made shit in his life has more money than he could spend in a hundred lifetimes.
>>288541822Reigen and Hanazawa are the best characters.
>>288542591I mean, your work is rewarded with some satisfaction, some knowledge and some financial stability to provide you with shelter, money, connections. Now, is it distributed evenly? No, of course not. But Mob as a series isn't saying that it is right for people to lord over others. In fact, it is saying quite the opposite. But it isn't a series about revolution, it is about individuals. Saying "oh, well, Mob is so powerful, he should coast on his powers and rule the world because that's exactly what happens now" is not acknowledging that there's still plenty of good, normal people who don't deserve to be downtrodden. You can argue that ONE should've made it more political and discussed other avenues of power, but it isn't that sort of story.
>>288542767>But Mob as a series isn't saying that it is right for people to lord over others.It may not be "saying it" but it sure is leading by example. Mob may not want to "rule the world" but he already essentially does, it just so happens that he personally enjoys the status quo and he uses violence to enforce it. It's all the same shit.
>>288542860I mean, I think it is pretty disingenuous to compare Mob stopping people from ruling the world to ruling the world even if it is done through power. Even philosophically.
>>288541845k, b.
>>288542922His whim alone essentially decides the fate of the world. He's the de facto ruler whether he admits it or not.
>>288543082And he decided he doesn't want to rule the world. A ruler who gives up power isn't a ruler anymore.
>>288543604>A ruler who gives up powerMob still has his power and he will no doubt continue using it to enforce the status quo, just like rulers do.
>>288543634This is ridiculous. Is Saitama the ruler of the OPM world?
never finished it but remember enjoying itstopped watching it in the middle of the 3rd season
>>288543654Sure. For all practical purposes he is, and his acknowledgment or lack of such doesn't actually make any difference.
>>288543751It seems you don't know what a ruler is. Stopping threats from hurting other people doesn't make you a ruler.
>>288543960If Mob or Saitama decide they don't like something, there is nothing that can stop them from changing it. Therefore, they're in charge. They just so happen to like the way things currently are.
>>288541822It's good, but I wish it ended when reigen walked mob home
>>288543974>there's a hypothetical scenario where they rule the world, so that makes them the ruler of the world
>>288544065The scenario isn't hypothetical though. They've actively used their powers to enforce the status quo.
>>288541822Become salaryman, Mobu!
>>288541822I still don't know what he wants
>>288544092>to enforce the status quoStopping threats from hurting other people
>>288544189And yet plenty of threats are still hurting people and direct violence isn't the only way such harm is being done. Actively deciding which of these threats to stop and which ones to allow to go on makes you more than just an uninvolved neutral party.
>>288544189NTA but people are constantly hurt by the status. A ruler can abdicate in the real world where power is not intrinsic to you as a person. Mob or Saitama deciding that they like the status quo and only acting against threat to it is no different from an Emperor that leaves the day to day ruling to his ministers and only intervene in case of civil war or external invasion.
>>288544152Muscles.
>>288544189>>288544301This is just the trolley problem all over again. Is inaction as morally valid as action? Is not acting in opposition of something the same as supporting it?
>>288542860>it just so happens that he personally enjoys the status quo and he uses violence to enforce itThat's literally what every hero in a story does, though?Even for revolutionaries their "status quo" happens to involve them being the big man in charge of everything, so an actual revolution is merely a scaling up of operations.And ultimately you're still reading too much into it. Mob's whole shtick is what thinking you're hotshit because you've an ubermensch is nonsense thinking, because even a superhuman has all kinds of shit they're utterly worthless at doing themselves. It's important that he, a child, has enough maturity to understand that. It's about him and his outlook and WHY he's not just magically a psycho terrorist by default.
>>288544512Yes, this is just like the trolley problem except the guy at the lever can just pick up the trolley with his mind and crumple it into an aluminum can and save everyone.
I only wish he had gotten over Tsubomi instead of continuing to pine after her when she wasn't initially interested. Would have been a decent message about how middle school crushes are usually very one sided and most teenagers have to get over it and move past it, but that's not a big deal. The filler episode with Tome towards the end was kind of lame being shoved between two major arcs too
>>288544537>That's literally what every hero in a story does, though?And I'd subject them to the same scrutiny if they tried to moralize about the state of society. Though most of them aren't even as overwhelmingly powerful as Mob within their own settings so it's already a nonstarter for them.
>>288544541Before all the memes, the trolley problem wasn't about killing one to save many. It was about the morality of inaction (five people died, but while you didn't act to save them you also didn't act to harm them) Vs the morality of action. Namely if it was more moral to not act immorally even at the cost of not opposing something immoral or if immorality in service of stopping worse immorality was in the end more moral. I personally agree with your interpretation but the problem is not something novel. Mob's powers only increase the scale.
>>288544537>>288544301>>288544429Yeah. Again, I agree that if Mob was philosophically about society as a whole, we would have him use his incredible powers to stop injustice beyond the stuff in the manga. But I don't think that the manga not going in that direction means that he's ultimately a hypocrite. It just is outside the scope of the story. And his capability (in terms of reasoning, not power).
>>288544301>direct violence isn't the only way such harm is being doneBut it's the one that Mob/Saitama encounter and the one they're most equipped to deal with. It's not their job to solve every problem in the world. You're now saying that by not being the ruler of the world, they are the ruler of the world. This has gotten to the point of>Sherlock Holmes is the ruler of the world. If he decides he doesn't like something, there's nothing that can stop him from changing it. Therefore, he's in charge.
>>288544680They're the rulers of their worlds because they have the power to enact their will as they please and no one can stop them, and that's exactly what they do.Is the only thing that matters to you that they turn to the camera and say>I'm the ruler of the worldAnd until they do it doesn't matter what actions they take?
>>288544672I agree with this. Mob is, after all, a kid. Having him mature, experience society and in general grown as a person is absolutely something admirable even for someone with his powers. Even if you expand the scope of the story him becoming a responsible person before deciding how to use his powers to better the world is the sensibile option.
>>288544718The issue we have with your stance here is "that's exactly what they do". Because someone who only intervenes in the case of violent threat may technically be "doing exactly as they please" but is clearly different than someone who wants to operate as an absolute ruler. Intention absolutely matters.
>>288544805>Is the only thing that matters to you that they turn to the camera and say>>I'm the ruler of the world>And until they do it doesn't matter what actions they take?So this actually is all it boils down to for you.
>>288544846It only matters that they intervene beyond reasonable expectations. If I am throwing a party with three people I know, the guy who can beat all of us into submission and make us to what he says is not the ruler by virtue of that fact. Even if he say, kicks a person A out of the group for pulling a knife on the rest of us.
>>288541845fpbp
>>288544718Mob wants Tsubomi and has the power to forcefully take her but doesn't. You can say>ahh but his will is to not take Tsubomi by forcebut that's begging the question. No matter what he does, you decide that Mob is the ruler of the world. If Mob decides to kill himself you'll say that makes him the ruler of the world because that's his will he's enacting on the world.>And until they do it doesn't matter what actions they take?He'd have to use his powers to control what laws get passed and what the system of government is. This is literally>Sherlock Holmes is the ruler of the world because he has the power to enact his will as he pleases and no one can stop him, and that's exactly what he does (solving crimes).
>>288544914Would you feel comfortable in doing something that the guy who can beat all of you into submission heavily dislike at the party? Let's say he hates drugs because his brother was a junkie. Would you do cocaine in front of him?It's easy to say that someone with power doesn't actually rule as long as everyone behaves exactly like he wants.
>>288544537>It's about him and his outlook and WHY he's not just magically a psycho terrorist by default.This. Though it might be fun to see a spinoff or follow-up with a completely different tone, where grown up Mob learns about the soul-crushing meaninglessness of modern society and the all-consuming corruption of blood-drinking pedophile demons at the top of society, being forced to adopt an Emperor of Mankind-esque role to fix things before further realizing mankind is doomed to suffer one way or another no matter what he does (since the WH40k gods of chaos are just innately built into human beings).
This bullshit argument is>if you kill him you'll be just like himby another name>I know I'm trying to violently take over the world and declare myself dictator, but you're trying to stop me. So who's really the dictator of the world?
>>288545021Mob is the ruler not by virtue of any particular actions but the ability and capacity to enforce his will. And it naturally doesn't help your case that he has in fact enforced his will whenever it struck his fancy.Sherlock Holmes isn't like Mob because he doesn't have the power to uproot every nation in the world in the span of an afternoon. He's a man who can be shot with a gun and he will die.
>>288545071It's more>The strongest make the rules. Prove that you are stronger than me and it's your rules that will be law.
>>288545032Yes, if I imagine Mob or the hypothetical person as a less reasonable person, I would have more moral qualms about the series or having them as part of my party planners, respectively. However, even in the situation you describe, the strongest person is not the ruler of the party planners. I do not conflate having power with active leadership and control. I do not think Mob oversteps his authority as a human being, so I do not interpret his absolute power as a moral issue. It sounds like the only moral thing you expect Mob to do is to completely self-isolate and leave all living beings behind with no way of returning, since otherwise, his presence or even potential presence is a philosophical threat.
>>288545071No, the argument is that it's hypocritical to extoll the virtues of the common can factory worker while also enforcing the insitutions that keep him underpaid and overworked.
>>288545177You are mixing up anons. I think Mob can do whatever he wants. In fact I think that growing up as a sensible adult is absolutely a moral thing for him to do. The world is too big and complex and interconnected for any action meant to alter society as a whole to truly be "moral" because in any way or another it's going to cause a lot of friction and disruption. I wouldn't trust most adults to get something like that right, let alone a kid. So he is absolutely correct in living his life and growing up. It's not like he's omnipotent, he just has a massive capacity for violence. He doesn't have the ability to solve big problems without just threatening people, and he can't threaten the whole world at the same time. So I don't really understand what the other anon expects him to do.That said , if someone can, at any moment, decide to become the ruler of the world and the only thing stopping them is that they don't currently have any interest in ruling, I still consider them the de facto ruler of the world.
>>288545122>And it naturally doesn't help your case that he has in fact enforced his will whenever it struck his fancy.>I'm trying to take over the world and kill thousands or even millions, and you're trying to stop me. We're not so different, you and I.>Sherlock Holmes isn't like Mob because he doesn't have the power to uproot every nation in the world in the span of an afternoon. He's a man who can be shot with a gun and he will die.No he can't. He's too smart.
>>288545372You can absolutely make a fanfiction about Sherlock Holmes where he's so smart he rules the world.
>>288545344I mean, I guess that is the definition of de facto. To use the Dragonball example since someone posted Piccolo, even though Buu was de facto ruler of the world in Buu saga, I would never think of him as a ruler. This is unlike Freeza or King Piccolo.
>>288545445Actually, according to that guy's definition, Goku is the de facto ruler of the world.
>>288545256Is the factory worker's life going to get better if Mob lets a group of power-hungry psychics attack Japan? Mob lives within the institution but he doesn't enforce it. He knows he doesn't know how to fix these societal problems. If laws get passed or a new politician comes to power or if a labor union forms that solves the factory worker's issues, Mob wouldn't stop them.
>>288545495>Is the factory worker's life going to get better if Mob lets a group of power-hungry psychics attack Japan?We don't know. >He knows he doesn't know how to fix these societal problems. ...And since Mob doesn't know either, if we follow the logic you've established here, he should not have interfered with their coup.
>>288545445We are basically arguing about definitions at this point and it's not like one is objectively more correct than the other. I also doesn't actually agree with the anon saying that Mob is the ruler of the world in practice because he's not actually that powerful. >>288545466Nah according to my definition Bulma Is the de facto ruler of the world.
>>288545432Sherlock Holmes is smart enough to control world governments if he so pleases. Moriarty who is his intellectual equal ran an international criminal empire that was only stopped by Holmes. Sherlock's brother Mycroft is the most important asset to the British government and the only thing holding him back from actually controlling the British government is his laziness and lack of ambition, so it's reasonable to assume that Sherlock is capable of doing so as well if he desires. The difference between canon Sherlock Holmes and this fanfiction Sherlock Holmes who takes over the world is the will to take over the world, but that doesn't make the canon Sherlock Holmes the ruler of the world just because he has the ability to.
>>288545558>We don't know.Yes we do. Don't be retarded.>...And since Mob doesn't know either, if we follow the logic you've established here, he should not have interfered with their coup.Just because you don't know how to solve a problem, doesn't mean you don't know if something will make everything worse. Are you intentionally being obtuse?
>>288545685You should link me your Ao3 account. Might be fun.
>>288545756I don't have one.
>>288545717>Yes we do. Don't be retarded.No, we factually don't. Neither does Mob. Ergo, ignorance is not actually a factor in whether or not he will act.
>>288545761Where do you write your fanfiction then?
>>288545786I don't write fanfiction.
>>288545800I disagree
>>288545837That's your problem then
>>288545847Why would it be a problem?
>>288541822Ok S1, good S2, filler S3.>>288541845>n-no you can't criticize popular things NOOOOOOOO
>>288542767>your work is rewarded with some satisfaction,Haha, we live in such hell times that this is the best silver lining many can have.
>>288545780Yes we do. We know things will go very badly if a group of violent, power-hungry psychos who don't understand the first thing about how society functions and only knows how to cause destruction is allowed to take over the world. Not that they would actually be able to. It's acknowledged that their stupid, poorly thought out plan had no chance of actually letting them take over the world successfully, but they had to be stopped because they'd cause untold amounts of death and destruction.
>>288545925The world is already ruled by people who don't know a thing about how society functions. That alone is not enough to know for sure if their reign would have improved things or made them worse.This ignorance shtick is not going to work, I already turned your own logic against you. Try something else.
>>288541822It's absolute kino! There are sadly many anons who don't understand that genuine effort beats untrained talent everytime, that they can change for the better, and that if no one is born special, then you can be what you wanna be. Highly recc OPM WC, Bug Ego, and Versus sometimes if you want more ONE type-beat stuff
>>288545988>There are sadly many anons who don't understand that genuine effort beats untrained talent everytime,The problem with this is that it also loses to trained talent everytime.
>>288545985>Chairs are dumb because I am too stupid to know how to sit down>Inb4 not an argumentCorrect, it's an insult
>>288545985>The world is already ruled by people who don't know a thing about how society functions.False equivalence.>That alone is not enough to know for sure if their reign would have improved things or made them worse.Again, their reign wouldn't have happened because there's no way for them to actually succeed. They also had no plan on how to run things when they're in power. That's how we know it would be a shitshow. What changes would they enact to make the factory worker's life better if they were in power? If they had something as simple as that, maybe Mob would've heard them out. Stop being retarded.
Not into anime that is just the author pushing his moralfaggot opinions, sorry.
>>288545888Just saying >thing badisn't actual criticism tough.
I liked it, but I like Mob the least out of all the regular charactersHe's got that Gohan thing going on, where he's a good and wholesome kid, but watch out because he's got a beast inside of himthat's a very boyish power fantasy that doesn't really appeal to me Overall I'm okay with the morals in Mob Psycho, if you strip everything away it's really just a kid who's trying to come to terms with himself and occasionally he encounters some dickhead with powers who needs to be put in his placeHard disagree with how the show examines psychic powers vs other talentsIt's not completely wrong, but it also feels a little dishonest in order to teach a good moral lessonObjectively speaking Mob, Teru, Claw Boss, Ritsu, any exceptional esper really have abilities that are outside the scope of other people's talentsLike I'll never be able to run like Usain Bolt or swim like Phelps, but with enough time, a place and financial help I can become much better at those things than I am alreadyClaw Boss said that you can't unlock significant powers in regular people, the one's who make it can only produce some weak phenomenonStrong psychic powers stand above all other talents, I believe that's an objective factRemember when Musashi protected an unconscious Mob from that muscle guy and Dimple was saying how Mob is right and how totally superior his muscles are compared to that psychicHe throws the guy away, the body improvement club celebrate Musashi's growth, but just a moment latter the guy's up again, ready to murder them all, only this time Mob's awake and he quickly takes care of himThat's sometimes how the whole show feels to me, characters like Mob, Reigen and later Teru downplaying these amazing and truly exceptional abilities in order to teach some message
>>288547175Well then you have the archives there for millions of posts explaining you why the show is so bad.
>>288547277The point is more about self fulfillment rather than objective strength or power. Yeah it's a bit silly that it uses battle shounen mechanics to get that across but the whole point is that Mob is already the strongest, he just needs to figure everything else out. Just because someone can beat someone else to a bloody pulp doesn't mean they are happy.
>>288547277>He's got that Gohan thing going on, where he's a good and wholesome kid, but watch out because he's got a beast inside of him>that's a very boyish power fantasy that doesn't really appeal to meEvery man has a beast inside of him.Congratulations that one of the most ancient philosophical observations and the core conflict of a thousand stories "doesn't really appeal" to you.
>>288547313It is a webmanga.
>>288542591And so thatās why you, in particular, need to victimize normal people even more?
>>288545985Yeah, youāre right, that military coup explicitly with the goals to enrich the leader and cohort at the expense of everyone else canāt possibly be worse. After all, things are bad now, so any change is good change, especially change where the changebringing faction love arbitrary, personal cruelty towards people they deem as lesser (you).
>>288541822its a meme manga that was taylor-made for reddit
>>288548360>especially change where the changebringing faction love arbitrary, personal cruelty towards people they deem as lesser (you).So you're saying that nothing at all would change?
>>288548390Oh, Bezos came to your house and raped your sister? Musk? Which billionare pedophile or government crony victimized you? You, in particular. Because Ngumbu Embembe, soldier of the New Way, will do that.
>>288542591And? It's not like you are special, it's not like you can actually make a difference by being bitter. The only change that can be accomplished in this modern age is by spilling blood, and we both know you or anyone else won't do shit.
mob psycho 2 is the best sequel in anime history.
>>288542002I think you've misunderstood Mob's character. He's not really an autist, he's extremely repressed; the way he is at the start is the result of him growing complacent and coasting along out of fear. The story's whole premise is him realizing he's unsatisfied with that, working through his issues, and growing up.There's a lot going on that you don't see and the 100% gimmick is proof. It's subtle, but you can tell what he's like under that stolid veneer if you pay attention. He's got clear wants, needs, likes, dislikes, beliefs, values, and an emotional range that still slips through the cracks.He's just an average kid with a huge, isolating burden on his shoulders. As he finds goals to pursue and makes social connections that burden relaxes, but it's naturally going to take time to recover from years of avoidance.Also, the anime plays up his naivete a lot so there's stuff you'll miss if you don't read the manga. His negative emotions are a lot more obvious there imo.>>288547277The psychic powers are a metaphor more than anything. They're real within the story, but thematically it's just a way to convey something widlly alienating. Prodigious talent, past trauma, the 'tism, etc.The balance between messaging and battle shounen theatrics could've been better, but also two things can be true at once - hard work alone won't eclipse trained talent (or the psychic equivalent to doping kek), but it nonetheless carries you far. Musashi could still low-diff dozens of armed delinquents his age and face off against a roided-out adult as a teenager with no combat training. Phelps is biologically optimized to be one of the world's best swimmers, but other Olympian swimmers are no less impressive for it and his records still can (and have!) been beaten by others.There'll always be a bigger fish, but anyone can excel in what they set out to do if they put in the work.
>>288542002>>288550202Yeah, good points. Mob is supposed to be the weakest point because he is naturally crippled so hard and the whole point of the series is him trying to get to the starting point that many consider normal. Autism is a huge spectrum and the usual stereotypical nonchalant/ women avoidant/ trains-obsessed tropes donāt do it justice. Mob is actually the first series that does it ānaturallyā instead of forced.
>>288541822I liked it, but there was this girl who used me for attention who also liked it so I can't enjoy it any more.
>>288541822visually it's stunning, comedically it's funny. In terms of story and message though it's about as shit as you can possibly get. The moral of the story is literally "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down". Don't use your special talents to make your life better. Instead, join the rat race and play "fair" like everyone else, you're not better than anyone.
>>288550653Dude literally just don't enslave people. All you have to do is not burn down the world in pursuit of your own supremacy.
>>288550908If that was the message they would've had the superpowered villains use their powers to help the world instead of getting meaningless menial jobs that don't use their powers.
>>288541822>don't use your talents>don't stand out>find happiness being a wagie even if it sucksIt's a very Japanese message, highly off-putting for the individualistic west
>>288550931Some do. The guy who specializes in punching psychics and the guy who specializes in turning toys into weapons are really fucking bad at helping society. What, is he going to be a boxer in an all-psychic league? Is curseman going to work in bespoke weapons for the military that take 10 years to make one of?

>>288554744Bug Ego, the little guy is a bit unassuming and indifferent but he has flaws and fucks up. The MC in Versus is your average shonen protagonist so nothing like that at all either.
>>288553934The anime definitely trimmed some really good comedy out, which sucks because I did find it visually appealing.
>>288554663The show is not about politics at all
>>288552320Mob Psycho 100 is better than every other new anime so you're essentially saying new anime fans shouldn't have anything.
>>288541822Cuck.
>>288541822It's great. The anime fucked up at the last minute though with the eyebrow family going "lol we should never use our powers again".
>>288542591Does Mob know machines make the can and the juice? His entire argument makes no sense.
>>288542591>>288556674>bunch of goons wreck a random city>MC's counterargument is "hurr how can you rule society if you don't know what makes it useful"Methinks ONE just doesn't understand the whole world domination thing, nor how to debate against it in a smart way. So Mob spouts some pseudo IQ bullshit that sounds good on paper and seals the deal with a psychic beatdown.
>>288541822Ended up liking it more than OPM
>>288556784Yes, retard, you can't take over without even knowing how to keep shit working.
>>288542591I'm glad you said this without saying the magic word (capitalism) lest a bunch of mindraped Americans come out of the woodwork screaming at you and insisting that they like the billionaires assraping them everyday
>>288556784Who is building and maintaining the machines? The mechano-psychics? How many of those are there?
>>288557298How many machines has the president of any country built or maintained in our world? How many presidents are there?
>>288541822We need more fights like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar7fHWRMNoE
>>288541822I only watched the first season. Didn't like it. I recognize that it's very good, but it's not for me.
>>288557314Presidents rule by political force within political systems. God-king psychics rule because they can beat the other psychics. Inevitably, he's either delegating literally everything and siphoning off the world while instating giga-psychics whose only talent is beating the fuck out of people to rule things they have no experience in, or he's trying to micromanage an entire globe as a dumbass whose main claim to power is really strong laser beams.
>>288557342>Presidents rule by political force within political systems.Which is a completely meaningless statement. Try breaking down what political systems actually consist of and I'm sure you'll understand where you went wrong here.>Inevitably, he's either delegating literally everything and siphoning off the world while instating giga-psychics whose only talent is beating the fuck out of people to rule things they have no experience inAs opposed to delegating to people whose only talent is being born rich or having certain friends, who will also rule things they have no experience in?>or he's trying to micromanage an entire globe as a dumbass whose main claim to power is really strong laser beams.Not a thing.
>>288557398I see, you're one of those "The world is imperfect so there's literally nothing wrong with a military dictator taking over and burning everything to the ground"
>>288557422It's more like it probably wouldn't affect the life of the average can factory worker as much as you keep insisting.
>>288557478When your world domination strategy involves repeatedly reducing cities to rubble? Think he has enough repair specialists to fix back their infrastructure?
>>288557496>When your world domination strategy involves repeatedly reducing cities to rubble?That's not what their strategy was though.
>>288557515The literal one city we saw where they mobilized in force was ruined. Most of the upper echelon are intensely destructive. The government has psychics too, apparently, so it's not like the just need to beat Mob and a few other children and after that they can tone down the show of force.
>>288541822I liked it but author overbearing wagie massage really took me out of story sometimes. >>288542591>beat the shit out of retarded psychics doing juvenile shit because you are anomaly even amongst supernatural>"you are not special try being normal wagie like me"lol
>>288557529>The literal one city we saw where they mobilized in force was ruined.So from that you believe that they would just keep destroying cities forever for no reason? Are you retarded?
>>288557538Yes? What do you think their external invasion plan is when they meet resistance? They met resistance here, city exploded. They meet resistance elsewhere, city explodes. Eventually they might reach a point where they don't need to keep destroying cities, but that's a country-by-country basis, Japan isn't the only place in the world with fucking psychics.
>>288557557>Are you retarded?Well that answers that question.
>>288557568What, precisely, do you envision their invasion plans are elsewhere that can put up resistance? The ONLY place they even started, where their resistance was mostly made up of literal children and a handful of defectors, was destroyed as a result. What about when the government psychics that apparently exist get deployed? Will that mean less destruction? What about mobilized military units?
>>288557529
>>288557748>they won't destroy EVERY city, just all the ones that resistYeah I'm sure this global war starring the "Genocide the normals" superhumans will go swimmingly for Tim the Cannery Worker
>>288557780The USA nuked Japan twice. By your logic, Japan shouldn't exist anymore because the USA should have just kept nuking them forever. But for some mysterious reason that didn't happen. I wonder why.
>>288557787Japan was barely alive as a military power by the time they got two cities vaporized. This is a WORLD domination campaign, starring a walking nuclear bomb and his various and sundry large scale destruction specialists. The government has psychics, that CLAW has to work through before surrender becomes inevitable. Even assuming they'll snowball, that's a LOT of destruction as the new world order settles in and the soldiers in the streets keep burning things down for fun.
>>288557531>overbearing wagie massageDo you fucking retards purposefully misunderstand what he is trying to say on purpose just to have something to be mad about? I really don't fucking get how you can be this fucking dense about it after all these years. Just because the retards that got beaten in the story took up normal jobs it doesn't mean he is telling you to do that, many psychics in the fucking show are shown to actually use their powers for good or something useful. Not once in the story does he imply you should completely abandon your talents. Why do you keep spouting this absolute bullshit?
>>288557813Mob is preachy and hypocrite as fuck what is hard to understand about that?
>>288557787Do you just... not know about the firebombing campaigns? Did you think they called it the "Reconstruction" because it sounds nice?
>>288557824>some fucking retards are destroying your hometown >tell them how fucking stupid they are and beat their ass>WOOOW SO PREACHY Identifying with the braindead followers is not the winning argument you think it is.
>>288557845Holy literacy. this is the last (you) you will get.
>>288541822Just like with HxH, I was kinda interested in it, but its fans are so insufferable it turned me off from trying it.
>>288557813>Do you fucking retards purposefully misunderstand what he is trying to say on purpose just to have something to be mad about?Of course. Why do you think they keep sidestepping the fact that Mob tries to hard to be normal and a part of regular society BECAUSE he's seen what happens when he lets his powers define him: he doesn't impress Tsubomi and almost killed Ritsu.They just want something to reflect the hate in their hearts.
>>288557868you're brown lmao
>>288557838And according to your retarded logic said campaigns should have never stopped.
decent and very consistent series that should be ONE's legacy more than OPM at this point considering how bad OPM's manga has gotten, at least the webcomic's still good though
>>288541822CanĀ“t stand how preachy it is.
>>288557902Japan was fucking rubble by the time the US was done with it. "My logic" is that Japan would, once again, be rubble, but the new guys aren't going to invest money and labor they don't have into reconstruction efforts. They're going to move on to Korea to try the same shit. They'll wipe cities off the face of the earth, kill billions, and your retarded ass will say "Well some cities remain intact after surrender!"
>>288557943And according to your logic, Japan should still be rubble.
>>288557976I don't know why I even attempt to reason with you, when you can't even read. This is the stock that people who misunderstand MP100 come from. Literal illiterates that don't understand anything about anything but are insulted that a shounen anime told them to not be an asshole.
>>288557998I'm just following the logic you yourself have established.
Is this another one of those astroturfed /pol/tard threads? Or did some YouTuber make a 10 hour video essay on some invented narrative that this cartoon goes against Randian thought and therefore must be destroyed in the minds of zoomers? How else can you account for such rampant mental illness?
>>288558014Clearly not, because I have literally already drawn a line between America, that underwent the reconstruction which took literal decades because they were content in peacetime with turning Japan into a satellite, and CLAW, that is trying to literally beat the entire world into submission. You can't understand the logic because you're subnormal. It's really ironic that people like you get the most offended by morals like "Being exceptional doesn't give you license to be a horrible cunt" when you aren't exceptional but are a cunt.
Isn't the message spelled out in the opening?>If everyone is not special, maybe you can be who you want to be>Your life is your own
>>288558044It's your own logic. If you don't like the way it works out when actually applied, try something else.
>>288558028Rand would be creaming herself over Mob though.
>>288541822It's a work of art, elevated above the common trash that is most weebshit. ONE is an actual genius.
>>288558059You don't know my logic, you're illiterate. You've simply decided what I mean because it lets you keep misunderstanding.
>>288558065She would not, like at all
>>288557877This shit right here >>288558077 is exactly what I am talking about.
>>288558137>Fans stop me from liking something Save everyone the pain of having to listen to you ever again by putting your head into an the industrial kind
>>288558163How about you lick my taint you little faggot.
>>288557342I think god-king psychics in positions of authority might actually be something interesting to think about. The biggest problem in pretty much every form of government is corruption and that primarily stems from the fact that you need to play dirty and selfishly to both obtain power and to keep it, and that snowballs into a million different issues all the way down along the chain. Even absolute monarchs couldn't escape these dynamics.But what cause would a super powerful psychic have to be corrupt? Their power is self-contained and cannot be taken away from them. Even if they have a rotten personality, they have no particular reason to hoard material resources beyond what they can actually practically use themselves to support their choice of lifestyle, no matter how lavish they might want it to be, since their power is entirely separated from their networth unlike every political power that exists today.

>>288558908Ahahahaha you are hilariousOh man...I'm going to tell everyone at the call center about you...haahahaha
Well, this thread certainly shows what it is like to discuss shit on /a/. Yeah, no wonder you dislike Mob Psycho 100 when you feel like you're the master race.
The anime is good, but what really stood out to me was the art style.It's so unique and creative... and for some reason is hot af for me.It's been years and I still remember Kurata Tome. And it's bizarre how horny I am for her considering the goofy artstyle, but damn... that round face and simple white eyes with black dots make me hard af. Love that cutie
>>288558993I feel that way about a lot of Mob girls. Funny that they're literally mob (faced) girls by the standards of regular anime too.
>>288558908See >>288558690
>>288558993I feel the same way about her.
>>288559066>they're literally mob (faced) girls by the standards of regular animeExactly, but that's what makes it so charming though.We rarely see mob-faced girls in anime, so when some do appear, it's kinda refreshing. They're so cute.>>288559192>I feel the same way about herGood taste mate
>>288557298>Who is building and maintaining the machines?Other machines (most of the time)
>>288558993She looks like Saitama trooned out
>>288558993She's a charmer.
>>288557342>he's either delegating literally everything and siphoning off the world while instating giga-psychics whose only talent is beating the fuck out of people to rule things they have no experience inSo...the government?
