Doctor Who & Mob Psycho/Saiki K crossover rambles

Imagine a crossover between Doctor Who and Mob Psycho 100. Like the TARDIS picks up this signal of a super powerful being in Japan and they go there expecting some kind of monster and it's just a teenage boy.

I feel like Mob would not go along with The Doctor as a companion though, they'd go on maybe one adventure and then he'd be like "I have my friends to go back to now and I was planning to talk to Tsubomi at the end of the year..."

I feel like Mob just doesn't have that curiosity for the universe that would tempt him to leave his family and life, even with the ability to time travel back to the same point he left so that he wouldn't miss anything. He already lives so close to the supernatural. He sees horrendous spirits all the time so I think he would be pretty unfazed by all the aliens and everything. It would be a really interesting dynamic actually because I can imagine he would try to empathise with Daleks and things, but if he were to become a regular companion there would have to be some kind of extraordinary circumstance that would prompt him to leave his life behind.

I did also think about a DW/Saiki K crossover and I think that would be really funny because Saiki and The Doctor are both so aware that They Are The Protagonists, and that would make them butt heads a lot. Saiki would want NOTHING to do with The Doctor, and The Doctor would tease the hell out of him. The Doctor (I'm picturing Eleven here) would be like "You are SO grumpy Mr Grumpy Pants" and Saiki would just be like "and you're annoying. Go away."

I think with Saiki there would be less of a "companion of the day" dynamic and more of a mystery that The Doctor + companion(s) have to solve. His powers are so huge that they have affected all of humanity, plunging them into a timeline where everyone's hair is a weird colour and nothing makes sense. Imagine the mystery building up over the episodes; first they start seeing more and more people with (apparently) dyed hair, then they notice that injuries are disappearing faster than they should, and nobody on Earth seems to notice because they think that's the way it's always been. But of course the TARDIS crew would notice because they've avoided this meddling by time-travelling everywhere. Then they'd travel to 2010's Japan and find this teenage boy just trying desperately to fit in.

I don't know how the episode would end, maybe they would find a way to undo Saiki's changes and this would force him to accept his reality. I still like the idea that Saiki has sub-consciously turned his world into a comedy because he doesn't want to face anything. Saiki would just deflect and deflect and do his usual escaping from the plot, turning everything into a joke for the audience and rolling his eyes, but then towards the end The Doctor would get all serious and help him undo everything and it would be so emotional and I don't think I will ever write it. I will imagine it to death though. Fuck.
