"It's like the dream I was having went on forever." | "It's gone now. What was it about? Eren, have -- Have you been crying?"

"You. . . what were you to my mother?" | "Heh. You idiot. Just her brother."

Yeah, I like that one ship where the girl is like half a meter taller than the boy, She’s all badass and has flawless hair that turns white sometimes when she uses her powers. but she also has a cute feminine side and is head over heals with the boy in a super cutesy waifu way. Meanwhile, the boy is a literal ray of sunshine and he appears to be kinda whimpy and insecure at first, but he’s actually the most down with committing felony in all the series. also literally everyone else is fawning over him, so tall girl gets p jealous sometimes all the time.

(SPOILERS) Voltes V Legacy episode 35 is just ChicoHani’s Sekoi lol

(SPOILERS FOR VOLTES V LEGACY) I know the romance is something most fans barely care for, but since the most of the episode about the love triangle, specifically centering about Mark opening up to (what he should have known was) his rival, about his growing feelings for the person who was so kind to him (Jamie), reminded me of Sekaiwa Koi ni Oichiteru, I decided to post something like this lol. It’s basically the same situation except of which pair became (or would be) endgame. I honestly feel bad for both like I did for Sekoi. On one hand, you have this person who felt like it was an obligation as a friend to match-make their friends even if they’re clearly hurting (Tsubomi & Steve), while on the other side was a someone who had some dreams that would soon crush as, on the way, would have to choose their friend’s feelings over their own as well even if it’d hurt them (Misaki and Mark). To be fair, Tsubomi was oblivious to her feelings while Steve had been crushing on Jamie since the beginning. However, I could have not been the one seeing the parallels lol. Anyway, few would only care for this, but I just wanted to share my thoughts ^^ I honestly feel heartbroken for both of them in advance lol.  Anyway, I hope the subplot won’t be messy and take over the main story. It’d be a shame to let these great characters just be stuck in a love triangle after all.

"I wonder, how is it that you lived with Kenny the Ripper but knew almost nothing about him, Levi?" | "Sorry, but I only found out his full name not too long ago. Apparently, it's Kenny Ackerman. He some relative of yours?"

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.

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.

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?

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:

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.
