no because i love the broccoli arc in mob psycho. its literally so fire and good?? i mean it has everything. it is the only mob psycho arc (other than mogami) that has ever genuinely freaked me out. mogami was just sad, but the divine tree was so unsettling and uncomfortable. the creepiness of “psycho helmet”, mezato’s threatening, not-quite-right smile that resembles LOL. psycho helmet’s looming shadow in teru’s apartment?? everyone slowly being brainwashed?? losing sense of the things around you?? oh my gosh…thats terrifying. cults are so scary omfg.

teru also has like a badass time in this one…love that b lond twink

AND. dimple!!!! dimple arc!!!! cheers!!!! 🫂🫂🫂

one of my favourite mp100 characters . he was so silly goofy and weird and i think he definitely needed this arc to wrap his character development up and to let him fall back into his old ways a little bit. its great to see…his struggle to be seen as a small spirit who wants to be remembered is so real.

ALSO a great time for terumob if you like it..i mean the shopping scene was pretty gay and a great demonstration of teru’s ASS fashion sense.

the monkey shirt is genuinely hilarious i laugh everytime they show it and theres that sound effect..i CANNOT. its such a bizarre arc and its goofy but serious in the best way??? like mob psycho is so fun because even when it’s sad its not always going to be so serious and thats its core. it has fun with the characters and twisting character archetypes and roles in the narrative!!

anyways this arc is so valid for the point that your real friends are the ones who are honest. the fact that a major part of the resolution was dimple going “WHO dressed you in that bro 😭” and mob being humbled is FANTASTIC. i love dimple and this is his arc and im so happy!!!!! AHHHH DIVINE TREE ARC MY BELOVED 💕💕

my only gripe with it is mob’s dub VA for s3 and NOT ENOUGH MEZATO. SHE STARTING THIS FREAKING CULT PUT SOME RESPECT ON HER NAME!! as much as i love dimple, an arc exploring mezato’s character would be sooo interesting :D

Someone should make a mp100 broccoli arc lyric thing/animatic with the song Road to Nowhere by Talking Heads. (I might do it but I can't promise I'll get around to it)

[beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

WHY DID NETFLIX SUBTITLES MAKE MOB SAY NUH-UH in S3 EP4??

more random stuff under the cut:

also (EP5 now) im sorry but they are trying to say that the spread of the psycho helmet religion is going to first start in THE MIDDLE OF AUSTRALIA??? THE PART THAT NO ONE LIVES IN???

wtf are the translators on.... HE SAID HIS FUCKING NAME AND THE SUBS GAVE HIM A FULL FUCKING LINE. dude they are in a fight scene. this is not something only a japanese person can understand. why dies it need a FULL FUCKING SENTENCE.

One thing that makes the mind control in the Divine Tree arc sooooo creepy to me is how much the brainwashed characters still act like themselves. A lot of the time in fiction when characters are mind-controlled they become zombie-like or robotic, with their original personalities suppressed. Or sometimes they become actively sinister, an "evil version" of themselves.

Obviously Divine Tree doesn't do that. Dimple's telling the truth when he says he hasn't changed anyone's personality, he's just given them something new to care about. "A blessing for those who have nothing and long for a place to belong." And that's horrifying. Both because it feels like in some ways a deeper violation than simply making someone pretend to be a person they're not, and because it means that the effect it creates is basically the same as people who have been taken in by cult rhetoric in the real world. The Divine Tree doesn't use magic to create effects that can only be achieved by magic; it uses it to speedrun the radicalization process.

The Divine Tree Arc isn't the horror of having someone you know replaced by an alien consciousness. It's the horror of knowing that the person standing against you is really your friend, your classmate, your brother, your mentor--they just care about something new now. And it's the horror of knowing that when push comes to shove, they're always going to care about that new thing more than they care about you.

“cats are a representation of the goodness of people in mob psycho” is one of those things you learn and go “oh okay!” and then you rewatch the show with it in mind and it absolutely destroys you

Unfortunately if I was in the MP100 universe I would be one of the first to be indoctrinated into the broccoli cult because my hippie ass would leap at the chance to worship a giant broccoli. Fuck it I would worship a normal broccoli plant if it had the right vibes.
