Everyday I'm Reminded The Reason For Having Mob Pyscho 100 As One Of My Favourite Animes Of All Time

Everyday I'm reminded the reason for having Mob Pyscho 100 as one of my favourite animes of all time was because of the infamous Tumblr Sexyman poll of 2022 and how it introduced me to Reigen.

...How do I explain this to people anytime we talk about Mob Pyscho 100? :'D

How do I explain that I watched the anime out of spite, to jokingly bully Reigen for defeating my favourite Amnesiac train man, and then ended up loving his character and anime unironically.

How do I justify the fact that I made too many jokes about cursing Reigen to be haunted by trains because he defeated Ingo in the poll that I was jokingly upset about, and then the anime dedicates a whole OVA about Reigen being trapped in a ghost train for like a month and now I actually feel bad for making too many curses on him about trains haunting him and now it's like half of the Reigen angst I saw in the platform and just!...

H O W-

How-

hey heyheyhey so boothill's and argenti's ship name is guns n roses right

i havent seen anyone calling boothill's and robin's ship name angel with a shotgun

yall are missing out with these names smh

...Thank you for the fanart idea that I'll finish later. : )

I think Furina and Aventurine would either get along great or hate each other, no in-between

i know for a fact that dr ratio would be a fucking NUISANCE during a trial

Bro I swear if Kaitou Joker meets Lyney from Genshin he'd 100% laugh his ass off at him like he's an asshole he'd totally do that

I don't know why he'd do that he just would because he's that much of a bastard

Honestly, it took me months till I finally properly appreciated Focalors' character. (And it was probably obvious for most people but I'm an idiot who took a while to realise this. Lol)

Back when we first met her, something felt a bit off about Focalors. At least, that's how I felt. Her calming demeanour, the way she sounded so neutral about her crazy plan, how she never wavered a single time when explaining Furina's role. (Heck, the "So anways, then I cursed her" line became a meme. Lol)

Compare her to Neuvillette during the scene. The Hydro Sovereign who once never cared about humanity, was absolutely distraught once he realised what Furina went through. He sounded like he was in the absolute verge of tears the longer Focalors talked.

I think it was the first time I saw a God act like a benevolent, all divine being in the game. The other Archons, for all their developing understanding of humanity, still felt flawed and human under all that divinity.

That's when I finally realised what Focalors lacked throughout her scene: Her humanity. She truly felt like a God above her people, who had plans for her people and there was barely an doubt for failure because it felt like she was truly in control. For all her talk about saving humanity, she sounded so weirdly detached, even when her actions said otherwise.

Do not get me wrong, this is not a complaint on her character. It was just an observation I had. I was alright that Focalors felt different from the other Archons we met during our journey. Similar to how I was alright if we saw Ei under an antagonistic light.

But then it hit me like a brick thrown from across the room and I'm an idiot for forgetting this fact whne it was clearly stated... Focalors' humanity wasn't lacking, just removed from her entirely. Her humanity was in the shape of Furina.

Before everything that has happened, Focalors was once a human. Before she was even human, she longed to live life as a human. And when Egeria granted that wish for the oceanids, it was a dream come true. Her wish was to live and feel her humanity. To feel the everyday emotions and experiences that every humans encounter, to laugh, to cry, everything. Even when she sounded so neutral during the scene, she clearly expressed her love for humanity.

And honestly, it must've been difficult to completely split her humanity away from herself, the very thing she longed for, all for the possibility that Fontaine could be saved from the prophecy. For all the messed up stuff she had to put Furina through, she too screwed herself.

So let's imagine this:

If Furina was a representation of Focalors' humanity, and Furina was an absolute emotional mess during it...What did Focalors feel when she came to the conclusion that her humanity had to be seperated from her?

From everything we learned about Focalors, I think it's safe to assume that it was probably one of the most heartbreaking things she had experience.

And just like Furina, she sacrificed it for her people. It finally made me appreciate Focalors more.
