Action scenes nothing, I just want to see Reigen selling snake oil to chumps with weird faces. I would be 100% happy to watch a series that is nothing but that.

I like to think that they'll make it so Reigen is doing the high pitched barks like Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.

It's cool to see confirmation Tsubomi has more going on than we have been shown so far. Makes me think she really was proud of Mob when he was kind to that girl who dated him on a bet, and pays attention to his life and cares about him.

there was that arc where the girl asked mob out cause she lost a bet and he was super nice and understanding about it and at the end it showed tsubomi had seen it and was like "good job mob" so i think our boy has a chance.

My guess is they are going to have a very nice conversation and our boy Mob is going to grow as a person and maybe truly make friends with Tsubomi, but somehow I doubt they gonna date or something.

Place your bets people. Who's gonna get mob back to his senses.

Body improvement club? Reigen? Tsubomi? or someone else.

His brother.

You know, his brother came to hate him because he was afraid of this hidden and uncontrolled side of him. Now, even though he's awakened to psychic powers, they are completely useless against something so powerful. It'd be pretty dramatic if he was the one to have the final confrontation with his brother, right before meeting Tsubomi, so he can come to his senses just in time to fulfill his promise to meet her, probably to get rejectecd softly but given a very sincere conversation with.

...but really there's a lot of directions this climax could go in depending on who is the final confrontation.

I wonder if Toshiki likes plants these days.

Also, I continue to be very upset about everything that is happening in this manga. It's such an interesting set of stakes, though!

so is the only subversive thing that he doesnt get the girl because thats totally expected at this point and just lame

what is this final boss fight poo poo? for a series that went on about not being special and all that for so long it's been pretty typical anime poo poo the whole way through anyway

it would be kind of interesting if the whole romance thing just kind of got brushed aside because Mob became such a natural disaster.

like, what if the resolution of the series is, Mob now has much bigger things to worry about than a romance because he was responsible for causing a typhoon's worth of damage? in a sense, that seems like that would be a much, much bigger life event than some measly romance.

except this is a manga and there are probably many ways that such a cartoonish kind of destruction can be dismissed in favor of much more lighthearted dramas for mob to worry about, like being softly rejected. and I think ONE is fun enough of a storytellerr that it will be fun anyways, even if it isn't necessarily revolutionary

It's interesting because in these kinda of stories where a psychic protagonist comes to term with the 'evil' inside them or whatever, they usually get a big power boost to deal with some external evil, like Ness in Earthbound or the Persona 4 cast. Mob really isn't that kind of hero, and there isn't that kind of villain in this story. I wonder what ONE is planning to be the consequences of this problem being resolved.

I guess if it means his powers are neutralized, his hard work to manage without them will pay off, but that would also clash with the messaging that maybe Mob can live an OK life without suppressing his power. Maybe he opens a Reigen style business?

I hope that despite it ending he keeps.making 4 panel comics about it.

Yeah, it would be fun if he revisits MP100 very occasionally with strips or short one shots.

I was prepared to be satisfied with a season 2 that was even half as good as season 1.

Was the stalker part of the episode anime-original or taken from later in the manga? I don't remember that being part of the build-up to the exorcism arc.

Here's hoping they don't give season 3 the OPM Season 2 treatment.

I get the sense MP100 is more popular in Japan anyway.

Edit oh wait you are referring to the yokai thing. I wonder, will there really be no follow up MP100 anime seasons?
