I see so many people contextualizing ???ās lines as a sort of villain monologue, but as a ??? apologist, I have to assert that ??? is nowhere close to a villain. Thatās why this part of their conversation is so important to me.
Heās desperately trying to communicate to Mob that no one can save him from this, not because he likes to see himself suffer, but because this is Mobās problem and it can only be solved by Mob. He canāt keep repressing and avoiding and running away from it. Reigen canāt swoop in at the last minute and shoulder his burden this time.
Heās saying āno one will save meā not because he relishes in it, but because he needs Mob to understand the gravity of what heās done to himself and to be spurred into fixing it.
And ??? isnāt wrong about all this. Mob has always been the one whoās saved himself. HIS POWERSā???āhave always been the one to save him, always the one to carry him home, whether from the clutches of murderous terrorists, Mogamiās mental hellscape, or a city-leveling explosion. He practically held the blood in Mobās head when it was cracked open on the asphalt.
Without this part of Mob, Reigen wouldāve sat there and held Mobās empty body in the Asagiri estate until the paramedics forced it away from him. He wouldāve never come home. He wouldāve been incinerated in that explosion, and Teru, Ritsu, and Reigen wouldāve searched for hours (they already found him like 4-5 hours after the explosionāimagine the agony already there, and they found him) and wouldāve never seen him again. Ritsu would get a call in his student council meeting telling him that paramedics found his brother dead on the street from extensive head trauma and blood loss and he would never see his brother laugh and smile again, were it not for this side of Mob who loves him and wants to be him again but sees no other way out. Who has been alone and ignored and destroyed through Mobās heavy guilt.
He loves Mob because he is Mob and Mob is he, but he cannot keep living like this. He almost died like this, and it cannot continue. Imagine saving yourselfārestarting your own heart, guarding your body, and then being looked at by yourself and told that you are unwanted and that you should disappear.
No one will save him because he should not be saved from himself.
i hate it when it feels like a character has been designed specifically for me to like them . because then i do like them and it feels like i walked straight into their trap
the mob psycho 100 anime ended some time ago and Iāve been wanting to draw something for it, this show is so goodā¦ā¦ Iāve started watching it very recently (it was around September, I actually started watching because of the tumblr sexyman poll thing hdhhdhxhs) and Iām a bit sad I didnāt discover it earlier, though Iām glad I did just before season 3 dropped :ā)
The writing is so good, itās simple (in a good way, u know?) but it just works so well?? The humor is top notch, and the characters are lovable and I just love it so so so much ;;;; I really recommend you watching it if you havenāt already, it might become one of your favorites too!
(Now letās all pray for the reigen spinoff to get adapted too šš½šš½šš½)
oh btw!! Iāll be selling prints of this drawing on my shop very soon!! (Along with restocks of the jojos and serirei wedding print too!! š)
