the last ep of mob psycho is hilarious to me because like. if sakurai’s sword didnt actually cut reigen, why was he lying on the ground, face-down and completely silent, for like 3 minutes? why?? was it for dramatic effect?? that’s the only explanation i can think of
Truly amazed by the fact that Mob’s main tactic for defeating evil people is to earnestly and with full honesty tell them that they are lonely pathetic losers and he does it with such conviction that it slams his enemies into reality so hard that they sit there and think oh my god…I am a friendless pathetic loser and Mob’s like I never said you were friendless :( and just becomes their friend and they instantly decide that even though they’ve known him for 3 hours and he’s kicked their ass if anything happened to Mob they’d kill everyone responsible
I really love how shonen manga often begins with the protagonist (accidentally) obtaining some kind of new ability and thus gaining entry to a new community that they were unable to access/unaware of (e.g. MHA, JJK), but in Yomi no Tsugai it's the reverse? Like everyone is chasing after Yuru and trying to force him into activating his dormant power, and Yuru is like "fuck y'all" and beats them up without said power. It's beautiful
taught my little brother to replace "im gonna kill myself" with "im killing a hostage" and it was a success #oldestsiblingwisdom
one of the many themes of mp100 is that both selfishness and generosity are important. rage and temperance. confidence and humility. fear and courage. happiness and sadness. you have to find the balance! and sometimes other people who are wildly different from you are that balance
