Mob Psycho Season 3 Episode 3: Is Mob\u2019s growth good or bad? CrunchyrollMob Psycho 100\u2019s third episode really starts to set the final season\u2019s plot in motion, but will this be an ominous character study? Mob Psycho 100 is finally back, after years of anticipation. Since this will be the anime\u2019s final season, a lot is riding on these episodes to see if it will stick the landing and truly become one of the greats. The series, which follows a kind-hearted but unconfident middle school boy with apocalyptic level psychic powers, is starting to delve into the wider psychic plots that the series easily balances with more light-hearted beginner episodes, and it seems like this episode is a combination of those two things. Episode 3 does begin to put the plot into high gear, although it seems like it isn\u2019t just the villains we\u2019ll have to worry about. So without further ado, spoiler warning for Mob Psycho 100! Mob Psycho 100 is reaching 100% Mob Psycho 100\u2019s third episode is showing how this season is set to be one of the most conflict-filled yet, but it funnily enough does it with a more light-hearted and uneventful plot-line. This episode focuses on Mob beginning to think that he\u2019s becoming popular with girls, after he has a charming encounter with Tsubomi. This moment really gives Tsubomi some humorous humanity, which had been missing previously, and will hopefully continue as the season goes along. The moment is also great at showing Mob\u2019s growth in social skills, although he suddenly begins to falsely assume that every girl out there is into him. This could easily become annoying, but the Mob Psycho 100 is always able to make its flawed characters likeable by making their flaws incredibly funny. In this case, Mob\u2019s arrogance takes over him physically, as he transforms into a JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure lookalike, and even has another voice actor giving him a deeper voice. If there\u2019s one thing Mob Psycho 100 has always excelled at, it\u2019s leaning into the characters\u2019 absurdity. There\u2019s no action in this episode, which is a shame considering how great the animation is whenever a telepathic sequence commences. However, the events of said episode seem to heavily imply that Episode 4 will be an action-packed one, since Mob is now at 100%, and not in a good way\u2026 Is Mob becoming like those he has fought? While Mob\u2019s arrogance in this episode is played for laughs, it does hint that perhaps a darker character arc is on the way. The first season had him utterly unconfident and unsure of himself, which was obviously the beginning of his character arc, but the show took its time to validate that he was just a kid, and didn\u2019t need to be the all-powerful hero that people expected him to be. The second season had him gain more responsibility over his powers, and take on a hero approach, which was admirable, but also seemed somewhat antithetical to the message of the prior season. Well, this season may be the answer to that, as now Mob seems like he may be getting too big for his britches. Now he\u2019s talking down to Dimple (who no doubt has a part to play in the episode\u2019s sudden dark turn of events), becoming too high-horsed for Reigen, and is even planning to become the leader of a new religion. This doesn\u2019t seem like Mob at all, and it\u2019s clear that the show is setting up a storyline which will really take his character to task. It\u2019ll be a case of seeing how Mob can grow into his own confident person while still remaining the same kind boy filled with humility that we\u2019ve known from the start. But it\u2019s easy to imagine that Mob Psycho 100 will succeed in that, it\u2019s just a case of going along for the ride. And it\u2019s certainly an intriguing journey.
