Can you blame him? His emotions have been running on high ever since he thought his family was murdered. I’m not excited to watch this arc unfold.Īt the moment, Mob is currently in a deep sleep. Ever since we were introduced to Claw in the first season, I always knew we had to resolve that plot thread eventually. It’s even done with Mob Psycho 100‘s flair, so nothing here is boring. We even get the trope where the quirky dude (some hikikomori with an umbrella) is probably the strongest of them all. This way, we can get hyped for future battles. The last half of the episode is essentially one long demonstration of how large these guys’ “power levels” are. At one point, Teruki tries to prevent the prime minister from being abducted, but like the insurrectionists, he’s outmatched and outgunned. In other words, like your typical shounen, we basically got an introduction to the super badasses that our heroes will have to fight through in order to confront Toichiro. Nevertheless, when they try to kickoff their little insurrection, they quickly meet their match and more in the fearsome “Ultimate 5,” the so-called upper echelon of Claw. Within their ranks, there are a few individuals planning to destroy the organization from within. Shrug, what can I say?Īt first, it appears as though everything won’t go smoothly for Toichiro and Claw.
All of a sudden, I now have an escalating situation that feels straight out of a series like My Hero Academia. I was having a good time watching Mob grow up before my very eyes. Nevertheless, I was having a good time enjoying the relative “mundaneness” of the series, if you will. If you think about it, these folks aren’t all that different from mutants.
You’re bound to run into your bog standard power-hungry villain who wants to install “a new world order” just because he thinks he’s hot stuff. Plus, when you have espers with such destructive powers at their fingertips, you’re bound to run into a megalomaniac sooner or later. I mean, it’s not like we’re bumping into Claw for the very first time.
I’m kinda surprised by these developments, but at the same time, I’m kinda not. Even the prime minister gets kidnapped, because that’s just what you do. hijack the airwaves, make an ominous proclamation to the entire world, blah blah blah. He believes that he’s raised a large enough army, so it’s time to do the typical supervillain thing, i.e. In the second half of the episode, Claw’s leader Suzuki Toichiro begins to put his world domination plans into motion. Plus, the situation is actually much, much worse than that. Do you really think bad guys would just let you leave without any consequences? Of course not. But to make a long story short, these chumps have realized the errors of their ways. Crazy, huh? No matter how high the stakes are, our friendly, neighborhood charlatan always manages to stumble forward into success. In fact, they’ve appointed him their new leader. One thing leads to another, and he eventually stumbles upon a gathering of former Claw members and Arataka. We’ll find out later that the spirit doesn’t actually know this, but hey, a rampaging, out-of-control Mob is no good for anybody. So right off the bat, Dimple tells Mob that those charred bodies can’t possibly belong to his family. This is not what I get up every Monday morning for (nevermind the fact that the writeups always go up a day later).
People are going to jump to conclusions and be like, “Oh, so you think it’s bad? Why do you think it’s bad? It’s not bad! It’s great!” Look, I’m not saying it’s bad. Honestly, I’m pretty lukewarm about this arc.
