I adore the fact that in so many other stories, Mob Psycho would’ve concluded with the World Domination Arc. After all, it has the big, climatic battle with the ensemble cast versus the overarching villain. They win, and everyone goes home, all’s well that ends well, right?
Except the story doesn’t end there. Because Mob has yet to reckon with this internal, antagonist force that has haunted the narrative since the very beginning: Himself.
Tumblr media
When Mob comes face-to-face with ???% at long last, he says: I am Kageyama Shigeo.
This isn’t a conflict with a villain, or another esper, or even a separate entity that resides inside Mob’s body. It is something far more personal, and far more relatable.
???% is the culmination of everything Mob’s held back. Not just emotions like anger or fear. Even his desires, like his crush on Tsubomi. All muted by his efforts not to hurt anybody with his powers. Mob has come such a long way, but he’s still restraining his feelings so tightly that the moment his control wavered, ???% took over.
But the conflict isn’t the destruction ???% is wreaking just by walking through the city. The conflict is Mob refusing to accept this part of himself he’s suppressed for so long.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And ???% is right! Every attempt to stop him thus far has failed. Because he isn’t meant to be stopped. Mob has to reconcile with the parts of himself that he won’t acknowledge.
And it’s the most difficult thing Mob has ever had to do! This is the part of himself that hurt his brother; that hurt his friends and decimated so much of the city. Reconciling with it means accepting that Mob hurt those people, whether he wanted to or not. It means accepting all facets of himself, even ones he’s not proud of or wishes he could change but cannot.
Mob has grown so much in this latest season alone, he hasn’t had any explosions, and he felt confident enough in his own abilities to actually ask Tsubomi out, which was something the Mob of two seasons ago could never imagine.
But what about the advice Reigen gave him for his confession to Tsubomi?
Tumblr media
His true self, in its totality. This is what Mob has struggled with the entire story. This is why his confession to Tsubomi is the culmination of his character arc. Expressing his feelings means exposing his true self to someone else, even with the fear of rejection.
And while we’re on that subject. Let’s talk about Reigen. Right after he gives this advice to Mob, he says this about himself:
Tumblr media
It is the height of irony (and tragedy) that Mob and Reigen admire each other’s strengths so much, yet have no idea they struggle with the same exact fear: that if the people they cared for found out who they truly were, they would reject them. It is why Reigen relies on lies and why Mob suppresses himself.
It is also why Reigen has never actually witnessed ???% until now. It is why Mob has never heard Reigen admit the truth about himself out loud.
And that’s why the final arc feels like such a gut-punch in the best of ways. What is harder than accepting who you are, and hoping for others to accept you as you are? Even at your most deceitful, or your most destructive? Mob Psycho ends with the Confession Arc because that’s the very heart of the story.

If I ever end up wanting to curse someone... If I ever end up using my powers for evil... If I ever end up wanting to eradicate people rather than spirits... I wonder if there will be anyone to stop me.

Summary:
What if Dimple wasn’t there…and the fire consumed you? OR A stream of consciousness sorta wibbly-wobbly prose on what if Shigeo found his family's bodies in the fire. And Dimple wasn’t there.
I recommend taking a look at these amazing gifs of the roughs of this scene before reading because it really is what got this all started.
It just…hits you so hard. I couldn’t get this out of my head. I just kept thinking about these few seconds between when Shiego sees the bodies and Dimple snapping him out of it.
So enjoy whatever this is that I created.
TW Body Horror in the fanfic, but not the fanart below.
Also drew some art for this. I was...in a place today. It wasn't a great day.

anime onlys LOOK AWAY this post contains MANGA SPOILERS
okay fellow manga readers can we talk about the significance of the fact that bones chose to name the final episode (while the final chapter is untitled in the manga) confession of all things, like auughhhhh the layers are killing me. yes it's about mob finally getting to deliver his confession to tsubomi, which was the driving force behind this entire arc. but it's also about reigen having some things to confess and come clean about to mob, which is ultimately what effectively resolves the story. mob NEEDED to hear reigen openly admit that he doesn't have any powers. he already knew that of course, but that's not what it was about, it was about reigen dropping the facade for the first time and talking to mob from a place of complete and utter honesty and vulnerability. all walls are down, and that gives mob the final push he needed. a confession is what started the arc, and another is what ends it. and once that's done, all that's left is to see where to go, from here.
bones you sly fuckers, I see what you're doing.
