#hes like if touichirou sucked

[computercreature]

10 & 13 for MP100? 🤔

ahhh.... mp100.....

choose violence ask game

10 - worst part of fanon

okay. not the worst but i'm remembering the anti-touichirou era. i joined the fandom at the tail end of that but it was literally so funny. touichirou is honestly a really compelling character i love characters who push away everyone in their life to pursue their own selfish goals (coughs weakly) but even aside from all that god he's so funny. he's one of the more meme-able characters and i would be lying if i said i didn't miss the period of time where people were getting hate for joking about his divorce instead of calling him a misogynistic child abuser. however i am eternally grateful for this period because it is what united so many of my friends <3

13 - worst blorboification

hmmm. maybe reigen? the thing about mp100 is that all of the characters are so wonderfully multifaceted so fans tend to flanderize them all just a little bit. nothing to be done about it. there's honestly a lot of characters i could have put but i feel like reigen is the biggest example of like. hey. this guy kinda sucks. and i love him to bits but just from my memories in the fandom i feel he was the character people most treated as a kind-hearted good-intentioned father figure sexyman whose biggest flaw is being, for lack of a better word, pathetic. exemplified by the fact that so many fanworks were about him adopting children (most often children who HAVE parents!) as if he is even 1% of the way to becoming the person who would do that at age 27. idk i like reigen a lot but i feel the dissonance between fanon and canon are a little odd. understandable considering fandom tendencies, but odd nonetheless

[shoezuki]

the surprise for reigen's birthday, where he IMMEDIATELY gets (lovingly) bullied by a bunch of kids, is the cutest thing ever. god this anime is so good. it has catapulted itself into my top 3 favorite anime so quickly and i wasnt expecting that. a beautiful story, amazing art, brilliant characters. truly a masterpiece. i see why you love it so much egg, and one again, thank u for constantly talking about it and getting me interested! very well deserved hype and i will hold it dear to my heart. 10/10, will definitely watch again multiple times

-🍁

Dude i am SO fucking glad uve liked mp100 so much like genuinely i can never put into words how much that show means to me its So Good.

Like ya All the characters are So so good n complicated n well written even when they fuck up n do horrible things. Like the underlying idea/moral that our bad deeds/mistakes dont keep us from changing for the better is SO present on all of the characters from mob himself to teru ritsu serizawa even fuckin touichirou. Like usually w shows its like ya this one character is Better than others n the others suck or smthin like that but w mp100 theyre all amazing. Teruki is amazing

Mob Psycho 100: The Stage Play 3 - Final performance content spoilers

Here are all the notes I compiled after getting the chance to see the final performance for ‘Mob Psycho 100: The Stage Play - A Clash with Claw’s Seventh Division!’ live. Note this is essentially a write-up of the play from beginning to end - this will also likely be the version of the play that is used for the DVD release in December. I will also edit this when the recording becomes available for viewing and I can gain some clarity on sections I missed...

PRE-SHOW

- Reigen and Mob do a pre-show announcement relating to covid prevention measures (referred to not by name as Covid but an evil spirit) plus standard theatre etiquette rules (don’t use your phone, put it on silent, etc.)

SHOW

- Begins where stage 2 left off as a ‘Previously…’ segment for the audience. We once again witness Koyama knocking Mob out with the spray and kidnapping Ritsu.

- In the Teru/Dimple/Mob discussion part of the stage 2 recap, Teru takes the bird’s nest off his head and throws it off stage - we hear the birds within fly away.

- ((We immediately see how the reduced audience affects the play - a funny physical gag where Teru and Dimple bash heads happens but this receives no response from the audience))

- We reach the end of stage 2 recap with Mob stating he’ll destroy Claw as he does at the end of stage 2. The screen goes black and we hear the echo of a voice saying ‘Give [it] back… give [it] back, [It’s] mine, give [it] back…’ - this is implied to be Mob talking about Ritsu but the lights turn on to reveal S&S and turns out it’s Shou talking to Reigen about Touichirou’s card

- Reigen gives the card back to Shou, calls him a ‘baggy-clothed asshole’ and tells him to leave since Reigen is busy. Reigen puts his feet up on his desk and goes on his phone, leading to;

S: “What are you doing?”

R: “Reading the news.”

S: “You’re not busy, you’re bored!”

- Shou mentions that he’s also got 10k yen missing from his wallet and accuses Reigen of stealing it - Reigen insists he didn’t but starts doubting himself

- When Shou leaves, Reigen salt splashes in his direction (An English translation is now given under each of Reigen’s special moves ala Olympic parody)

-Reigen calls Mob, leading back to the Mob/Dimple/Teru scene - Terada and his cronies enter and Mob tells Reigen he can’t talk right now, hang up which leads to…

***

OPENING

- Yoru no Honki Dance - Call Out (as the previous two plays)

- Action takes place on the upper and lower stage - Ritsu and the lab kids on the lower stage with Ritsu in anguish with Mob, Teru, Dimple on the top stage

- Action shot with the show’s “Yeah!” line focuses on Reigen and Mob on the top level

***

- Teru tortures Terada with a taser rather than water - Terada is also wearing a ballgag with multiple kazoos inside it leading to a great sound whenever he screams

- Mob and Dimple are terrified of Teru’s taser torture whenever he does it

- Matsuo’s performance is sensual and slimy - great stage presence

- Ishiguro’s voice is distorted using a pitch filter resulting in something creepy rather than the female voice used in the anime

- Ritsu and the lab kids are seen in the jail cell - great banter with them and their Claw guard (Guard to Rei: “I won’t hit you because you’re a girl!” Kids: “A gentleman!”). Guard tells them they won’t get any food and they start rioting

- Mutou is VERY creepy and accompanied by terrifying music - he skulks around the stage with his ridiculous silicone chin

- When Mutou “kills” Kaito off screen we get a ridiculous extended segment featuring Daichi reacting to what is initially cries of his brother’s pain that turn into pleasure as if he is getting a massage - then turns back into pain

- Kaito is wheeled back on in a luggage/weight carrier with 4 knives in his chest

- Teru vs Terada is visually very fun - movement choreography is great, lots of Teru’s dance techniques that got cut from the anime

- Back in the jail scene Ritsu states he doesn’t remember the kids names so they re-introduce themselves to the audience

- Asahi and Hoshino heating up the spoon/bending spoon/on repeat is very well performed

- Ritsu tries to high-five with with one of the other kids when they escape the jail but finds he has no-one to do it with :(

- Back to Dimple/Mob/Teru - when Dimple-chan(puppet) says “Oh who’s that good looking guy? A model?”, Nadagi pulls a whole bunch of model poses

- When Teru tries to knock the security guard out he screams for AGES leading to one of the funniest moments in the play - he finally is knocked out but when Dimple tries to possess him he takes ages to be possessed - Taa (Teru) breaks character completely and doubles over laughing and Itou (Mob) refuses to face the audience making it clear he is losing it as well

- Muraki is creepy looking but his cloak is see-through and sparkly - his actor plays him as quite a timid guy

- Great visual gag with Mob throwing Koyama around and then sending him through the stage wall

- Ishiguro has a moment where he talks to the audience/the new recruits where he shows off the Claw face mask available as part of the merch

- Great fight choreography between SG!Dimple and Gen (played by Baba) - ends with SG!Dimple pulling his trousers down

- Teru tasing people left and right in this play…

- Great stage effects in Teru vs Miyagawa - Teru tases Miyagawa as well

- Tsuchiya calming down Mukai is lovely - followed by Mukai finding a puppet that she believes hasn’t been destroyed by Mob and getting excited - but the head rolls off so she breaks down crying again

- ((My stream cut here so I didn’t see the start of the Ritsu vs Shou interaction and whether or not he recognised Shou from their interaction in stage 2))

- We see a little Shou vs Ritsu - Ritsu flings an array of spoons at Shou - Shou lands a punch that sends Ritsu off stage

- Character design for Takeuchi has been corrected slightly from the anime

- Matsuo vs SG!Dimple stage effects are great. They’re both very flashy actors which creates fantastic visual comedy

- Matsuo takes off his jacket like he’s at a strip club - it’s all very flamboyant and fun

- ((Stream cut again so I didn’t actually see the joke, but some kind of adlib happens with Reigen in the taxi scene that causes Baba to break character))

- When Mob uses his powers to blow Takeuchi away someone comes on stage with a leafblower to blow his hair away

- Screen goes black and we cut back to Shou delivering the final blow on Ritsu. Shou says someone interesting is coming and leaves stage for Mob’s entrance

- Mob finds Ritsu passed out and holds him, finds he’s breathing but won’t forgive who did this to him

- Mutou enters and stalks around the back and creates the image of Ritsu dead on the floor with a knife in his chest for Mob which causes his freak out

- “What a great pair of brothers” - Shou leaning over Mob and Ritsu’s passed out bodies

- Shou floats Mob and Ritsu into the room with Sakurai/Teru/Ishiguro

- Small cut away to Reigen - he sees 500 yen on the ground and immediately runs to go pick it up

- Mob and Ritsu’s hug is very emotional - Ritsu is more panicked asking Mob if he’s okay and Mob is more emotional responding than the anime

- Mob pats Ritsu’s head to calm him down

- Visual gag where Shou steps on Ishiguro’s shoe - Ishiguro freaks out trying to clean it and Muraki offers emotional support

- Guy walks into the room with Sakurai/Muraki/Ishiguro/Matsuo/Shou and informs them “The boss is coming”, which piques Shou’s interest and he comes along to meet “the boss”

- Play then gives us a “5 minutes earlier” scene. Baba’s performance in the Claw break-in is more on the eccentric/aggressive side than the calmer calculating tone Sakurai had - changes the atmosphere for the scene

- The whole scene with Reigen saving the lab kids is redone to be so eccentric with everyone chanting BOSS! BOSS! BOSS! at the end for Reigen

- When Reigen starts making a comment about Teru’s wig and cuts himself off to not offend him, he goes to Mob like “wtf” and Mob whispers in his ear what happened

- Shou included in the scene when Ishiguro etc. face off against Reigen

- ((ARGH my stream cut out again, when it came back Shou had moved over to Reigen’s side - probably some good dialogue there between them that I missed))

- Shou says to Reigen ‘Give me back my 10,000 yen’ - Shou decides to stand back to watch the show

- When Ishiguro attacks, Mob protects Shou as well as everyone else

- We have Shou/Teru/Mob/Ritsu/Reigen all on one side vs the Claw guys on the other (Ishiguro/Sakurai/Muraki/Matsuo)

- When Reigen does his Anti-Esper Drop Kick, they choose to translate this in English as “Dropkick to the espers”

- Shou: ‘You’re really taking [Muraki] on? lol’ Reigen: ‘Shut UP you brat’

- When Sakurai attacks Reigen (first time), Ritsu helps him up

- Lots of good banter between Shou and Reigen (”Stop calling me ‘old guy!’”)

- Shou sits to the side and enjoys the show while Sakurai/Muraki/Ishiguro/Matuso vs Reigen/Mob/Ritsu/Teru happens, makes some comments (ie. “Damn you’re in a pinch, whatcha gonna do now?”)

- When Reigen is getting sucked up by the anti gravity bubble, Shou helps Teru/Mob/Ritsu out with saving him

- Sakurai cutting off Teru’s wig is made into such a Dramatic moment

- Shou joins the fight against Ishiguro - Ishiguro manages to knock him out of the field and Reigen expresses concern (‘Oh crap! Kid are you okay!’)

- Lots of stage theatrics - now that Shou is no longer in play scene plays out as it does in the anime

- Lots of Reigen protecting Mob and leading him away from danger until the climactic moment where Mob decides to fight

- Mob’s scream of ‘Shishou!!!’ is filled with emotion - Reigen collapses quickly and without theatrics, facing the audience

- He doesn’t get a cut in his jacket, nor does he remove it

- When Reigen destroys Matsuo’s pet - ‘Oh Jesus I’m sorry I didn’t mean to destroy your toy’

- More protective Reigen - puts his arm out to protect Teru and Ritsu & get them behind him

- Reigen’s “Purifying Salt Punch” -> English given as Prime Salt Punch

- ‘It’s rude to wear a mask when talking to people!’ - here his mask doesn’t come off - unsure if intentional

- ((The bento story is REALLY well performed comedically but doesn’t land with attending audience))

- Sakurai shoots Reigen and Reigen catches the bullet

- Reigen uses the spray to spray his armpits

- Reigen at Muraki’s forehead “what is this? A doorbell? Ding dong ding dong”

- Lab kids start making fun of Muraki as well (Rei: What is that, cosplay?)

- Rei has a crush on Reigen in the same vein as her crush on Ritsu - Calls him cool and stuff and tries to reach for him

- Mob: ‘Having powers doesn’t make you popular’ Rei: ‘Lame.’ Reigen: ‘Well there you have it.’

- Shou comes back in centre stage and knocks Ishiguro out - goes to Reigen and says it’s time to repay the debt he owes Reigen - knocks Ishiguro out fully as per anime/manga

- As Shou leaves he pats Ritsu on the shoulder

- When Reigen says ‘is this an evil spirit?’ He hold his nose as if Dimple stinks, then grabs his head and shakes him around. Gets some salt from his pocket and throws it at Dimple

- Rei goes up to Sakurai and asks to date him

- Shou goes on the phone on stage top level and calls Touichirou as per manga/anime lines

FINAL SCENE

- Shou returns to S&S - as it turns out Reigen had the 10k stuck in his pocket the whole time and returns it to Shou

- Mob and Ritsu (with a bag) enter S&S while Shou is still there but leaving - Mob thanks Shou for helping them and asks Ritsu to do the same - Ritsu complies

- Shou looks back at Reigen, then toward Ritsu and Mob and tells them all they’ll meet again

- Mob and Ritsu share a heartfelt moment - “Ritsu, you’re amazing” - “No you’re the amazing one Nii-san”

- Ritsu gets out Takoyaki for Reigen/Mob/Ritsu to enjoy and Dimple joins them

ENDING SONG - ‘mob.’

- Itou’s voice is STUNNING

CAST COMMENTS

- Kawaharada Takuya (Teru) addresses the fact that he’s the person who laughed the most out of everyone

- Nadagi says he wants to do a stage 4 and that’s the general vibe with everyone  and it’ll be nice if the anime gets a S3 too

- Lots of talk about stage 4 and it only being possible if everyone comes together

- Itou: ‘Us being able to do this again out of the blue so suddenly is thanks to all of you’

ENCORE

[gittetj]

I'm sorry please tell me about the prime ministers scene bc I'm curious 👀

I’m assuming you’re asking because you haven’t read the scene before. Bones didn’t really take anything away from it, but the way it was timed and staged sucked all the humor out of it and weakened what I consider Serizawa’s “real” introduction as a character.

Anyway here it is, my next-most favorite piece of visual and character-based comedy in the entire mp100 manga: 

If you don’t think that second page is funny then there’s nothing I can do for you, but I’m me so watch me go off on a tangent about everything I love about this little scene ASIDE from the humor!

At this point in the story we know very little about Serizawa apart from the fact that he’s very strong and very devoted to doing whatever Touichirou tells him. This is the first introduction we get to what he’s like when he has to think for himself. In a very small number of panels, we learn that: Serizawa doesn’t really know what’s going on or why Claw is holding this seemingly random man hostage and he hasn’t bothered asking. Serizawa will favor his own moral judgment over his orders if you let him out of your sight. Serizawa has no idea who’s currently the Prime Minister of Japan. And, Serizawa is childishly awestruck by the fact that he’s met the Prime Minister but doesn’t apologize or show him any kind of respect after learning who he is. In short, Serizawa is pretty out of touch with the world around him - both inside and outside Claw, not to mention on a more interpersonal level.

In the middle of all the drama and action and danger going on in this arc, Mob has this little moment where we’re reminded he’s still a regular, impressionable kid - awestruck to meet the Prime Minister, just like Serizawa is. I think this is a good starting point for the way Mob and Serizawa reflect on each other a little later on. Serizawa is an adult, but at this point, he isn’t any more mature than Mob. In fact, he’s less so and Mob immediately sees that and slips back into the serious state of mind he’s had while confronting all the other Claw members. He already knows something’s very wrong with this guy.

Finally, the Prime Minister himself! What a brilliant way to drop in an everyman character by not making him an everyman at all. This poor man, look at him, stuck with this bunch of lunatics. I don’t know, it just says a lot about how all-around bizarre the whole situation is and how unorganized Claw is that they kidnap the Prime Minister and then they’re like oh well, we don’t actually know what to do with you, here, you take him, Serizawa.

Mob compared to Steven *Spoilers*

I finished all Mob Psycho 100 episodes and now it’s waiting for a season 3. 

And I can’t help but compare Mob with Steven Universe when it comes to Pacifism and doing the right thing and how to handle villains.

I’m not an avid viewer of SU, but Future had me kinda interested, though it’s becoming a bit too angsty, so much it’s getting a bit melodramatic. Plus I’m always bothered how every villain seems to be redeemed in SU, even if they were tyrants who commited genoicide.

That’s why I enjoyed Mob’s approach to the villain in the season 2 finale. At first he tried to do the same thing Steven would’ve done. Show compassion, trying to understand the villain and reach out to him. But the MP 100 villain Touichirou is so far gone and egocentric that it’s no use. After trying to kill Reigen, Mob’s basically like: ‘Alright! That’s it! I’m gonna beat the shit out of this asshole!’ XD

Touichirou is eventually beaten, not killed, and taken to jail. Mob managed to reach him in the end, but I suggest you watch the anime, because I’m a bit too tired to write a whole thing about it. Basically the villain is spared, but he still must face the consequences of his actions. Also, if Mob is pushed too far, he isn’t afraid to beat the crap out of a villain. And I have to say that I admire this approach a lot more compared to the way SU handles it’s villains. Not everyone can be redeemed and it sucks, but that’s, in my eyes, a better message than ‘We can all be friends!’ like SU seems to say.

(Dang I’m so bad with these Japanese names, I only remember Mob and Reigen’s. And that’s because Reigen sounds the same like that American president. Hahaha!)

superhero au thoughts

reigen is trying to make it big as a world class hero and mob is his sidekick

teru is a villain terrorising seasoning city by grave misuse of his powers

examples include: snowstorms to cancel classes because he's not confident he's gonna get an A on the upcoming quiz

earthquake in the neighboring city so his favourite heavy metal band would skip that venue and get to seasoning city early

makeup store robbing sprees because he maxed out his credit card for the month

among other shenanigans

reigen is eventually sent to deal with him but his special lecturing kids move is -9999 effective so he deploys mob

teruki arc proceeds as canon

If this is an aged up au:

mob faces the same dilemma as saitama does and seriously reconsiders his career path

he and teru are the rivals

mob decides he wants to be a vet and quits his hero job

the world is shaken but not as much as teruki who suddenly has no purpose in life anymore

he tries to continue being a villain but the other heroes don't give him the same thrill also he's not in love with them so that sucks

teru and mob cross paths not as their hero/villain alters but teru recognizes him and goes feral

you left me you son of a bitch!!!!!!

after mob yeets him into the sky they have a heart to heart talk about what they really want in life

mob straight up tells him it's not healthy to be too dependent on a person

teru's like oh. then mob wishes him luck

teru decides he wants to be a commoner now, to be a peasant, to be an ordinary person~~~~~~

he romanticises catching the next train, paying the bills and doing groceries so much he sells his mansion and his headquarters and rents a cheap apartment

and gasp mob is his roommate!!!! life could not be better and he and mob do normal people things together like sleeping through the alarm and doing laundry and eating cheap food

he doesn't immediately realize that mob is actually poor and not doing this for the aesthetic

mob is surprised that teru's here and he's a bit weirded out by how happy teru is whenever they're threatened to get kicked out for paying the rent late among other misfortunes

ritshou time:

ritsu always wanted to be a superhero like his brother

his views on heroes are warped because he determines their value based on their powers and not by their morals

he's still afraid of his brothers powers because of how they tend to escape him

the ???% incident still took place

when he awakened his powers he decided to become a villain but infringed on teru's territory who knocked him out with a handshake

claw arc proceeds as is so ritsu is okay now and wants to be his brothers sidekick

he is pissed that reigen calls mob his sidekick and would've challenged him long ago if not for his brother

shou is part of a villain org but he thinks his dad is a super lame villain so he's still gunna betray him

he really really really wants ritsu to be his rival so he messes with him a lot

he uses his invisibility powers to sneak into ritsu's classroom, stand behind his seat then call the teacher names so he would get in trouble

then he'd leave a note in ritsu's locker, something like

had enough? think you can handle more?

shou spreads a rumour that ritsu likes this girl and now everyone thinks ritsu has a girlfriend

ritsu doesn't care enough to address it and now shou feels weird

that plan backfired on him big time

next he ties mob's shoelaces together while he's jogging with the body improvement club

ritsu finally snaps, engages in battle and gets his ass kicked

shou is hyped because he thinks ritsu will seek his revenge

ritsu doesn't

shou posts on the villain forums for advice

there's this super cool hero i want him to be my rival but he won't notice me here's a list of the things I've done what more should i do?

teru replies (he's popular on these forums) god SAME these heroes are so annoying ashkdldofif why won't they hate us back

and serizawa comments there like

speaking as an ex-hero, generally we're not really into making rivals, we're just trying to stop crime, at least that's my take on it

shou and the rest of the super 5 only responds with keyboard smashes

AVDKDLDMRKIE??? hxxkdkdnehbw

on god???? for real is this facts??

that's so unsexy im gajskskdje

touichirou posts heroes are lame and immediately gets banned

teru complains who the hell is that touichirou guy he's like so fucking lame but i see him everywhere with his cold takes and he gets so many upvotes he breaks the previous record

shou is embarrassed. this teru guy was internet famous and made the best villain vlogs. he hates his dad so fucking much

shou time:

shou is a very moral guy but legally speaking? hm

he thinks laws are worthless because of how the government is run

laws only apply to the poor but not to the rich apparently and he just had to lmao on that

that's why he agrees to be a villain

but upon seeing that his dad's just the exact same as the current establishment he's like wtf? what's the purpose of overthrowing the government then?

touichirou:......... i get to be in charge

shou has a breakdown over the fact that his dad is an actual child

then he goes to ritsu for help because you're a hero right uwu? you wanna stop my dad?

ritsus like oh okay let me ask my brother he can clean this up real quick

this was not as planned. shou wanted this to be between him and ritsu only. they'd be a rad, fabulous ass kicking pair and when the romantic night of crimefighting was over maybe ritsu would ask him to join his minecraft server

but he says ok because he's not actually a child like his dad is

personally shou thinks the government should still be overthrown and be replaced by, maybe reigen, mob was the best option but he hasn't even graduated high school yet so that could be a bit of a problem

but anyone's better than his dad so for now he leaves the government uprising alone

serizawa time:

he was fed anti-hero propaganda by touichirou

there were some actual good points there like how the top heroes did things for money and reputation now and how they viewed people as a means to an end instead of actual humans

and threats that his powers would only be abused by the government

but if he joined touichirou he wouldn't be controlled

100% friendship still happens

[snowstories]

fanfic idea I’m probably never gonna write bc it’d be a longfic/multichap and I suck at writing those but anyway. Time Travel fic where post-Claw/Reigen spin-off era Serizawa switches with shut-in Serizawa. 

An exorcism goes horribly wrong as Serizawa and Reigen encounter a spirit way above Serizawa’s level, and Serizawa ends up being switched with his past self. 

Post-Claw Serizawa lands in his room right as Touichirou comes to visit, and must make the snap decision on what to do. He’s panicking, confronted with his past in the worst way possible, and knows that he couldn’t possibly beat Touichirou in a straight fight, but also knows he can’t afford to ignore him and his world domination plans, so he agrees to Touichirou’s offer with full intent to somehow sabotage Claw from the inside while trying to find a way back to his own time.

This Serizawa immediately decides to do right by Shou and takes the kid under his wing. This Shou’s mother would’ve only left two or so years ago, and Shou is only just now starting to get clued in that his father’s organization should probably not exist. He’s about 9/10.

Plot-wise, this Serizawa’s plotline would focus mostly on the suspension/intrigue of trying to destroy Claw from the inside while simultaneously appearing loyal/helpless to Touichirou. 

Character development wise, it would be heavily focused on a) Serizawa being confronted with who he used to be and how much he’s changed and trying not to fall into the same bad habits he had back when he first joined Claw, and b) the bonding between Shou and Serizawa, who in the present timeline don’t have the best relationship due to Shou having a (completely justified) grudge against Serizawa for being complicit in the abuse he faced and actively helping Touichirou with his world domination scheme.

Will somehow involve Reigen, who is still an incredible mess, but also just about the one adult Serizawa can trust at the moment, getting dragged into all this esper world domination nonsense against his will, and starting his ‘dude stop lying’ character development arc early. His arc is a secondary focus of this timeline.

Climax is Serizawa beating the shit out of Touichirou by catching him off-guard with some non-esper technique, such as getting close and just straight-up decking him. Serizawa gets that sweet sweet catharsis. 

Meanwhile, Shut-In Serizawa is having a Bad Time, like infinitely worse than Post-Claw Serizawa. This version of Serizawa hasn’t gone outside in a decade and hates himself and his powers, and now all of a sudden he’s being thrown into an exorcism with a guy he doesn’t know, so, understandably, he freaks out, causing his powers to go haywire, which only makes him freak out MORE.

Luckily, Reigen has more than a bit of experience calming down overpowered espers, and manages to get Serizawa to calm down long enough that they can run away from the spirit and hopefully call in the back-up. Problem: he fell back on his old lie of being a super powerful esper to do it, and in true Reigen fashion, has no idea how to dig himself out of this hole. 

Plot in this timeline would focus on the Spirits and Such crew + the other espers of Seasoning City trying to find a way to force the spirit to switch the Serizawa’s back. Mob can’t brute force it because [insert reason here].

Character development would focus on both Serizawa and Reigen, primarily. 

Serizawa has to deal with the whiplash of apparently having a perfectly happy life in the future, but only gaining that after having made terrible mistakes, and struggling to deal with his mental health issues with the knowledge that if he doesn’t he’ll end up joining a damn terrorist organization, and having to deal with the mortifying knowledge that he IS capable of good things. 

Reigen has to struggle to maintain the development he’s gotten over the course of the series, when everything about this situation is trying to get him to relapse into his pathological lying again. 

Secondary character development plot focuses on Shou and Serizawa trying to work out their differences when Shou still has massive issues with him, but is also trying to recognize that Serizawa had his own problems going on and was a victim as well, while Serizawa has no idea what Shou is even mad about and hasn’t actually done anything yet.

Anyway, in the end they do switch back. Shut-in Serizawa, having gotten a sweet dose of therapy, continues to work on himself while also adopting the hell out of tiny!Shou and becoming friends with still-an-absolute-mess-but-trying!Reigen. Post-Claw Serizawa gets a chance to mend his relationship with the current Shou, has gotten a newfound confidence in himself and his character growth, and has strengthened his bond with Reigen now that they’ve both seen the less-than-ideal people they used to be and how much they’ve grown.

“Words Fail”

this was written for @physical-manifestation-of-spite ’s Dead Sea AU, which is absolutely heartbreaking and has decked me more than once. it breaks my heart i just,,, jdkflgdfg wow it breaks my heart. so much so that i was really inspired to write this lil something. 

thank you for the heartbreaking AU!! i don’t know how well this turned out but i tried my best, I hope you like it!! <3 <3 

[major character death ahead, just in case anyone’s sensitive to that]

Frankly, Reigen never expected to get this far.

He never expected to be able to become someone. To become a businessman. To become a person motivated by something more than “boredom.” And when he got into the psychic business, he knew it was only a matter of time before he, the most non-esper person you could ever meet, was struck down by more than he could handle. Death was just another walk through the park. It’d never scared him because he’d never had anything to lose.

He has things to lose, now.

He has everything to lose.

The blast is so bright that it blinds Mob’s face from him, but not before he sees the kid’s eyes, blown wide as realization sets in, hand outstretched, mouth open. There’s no shout, no scream. Or maybe there is and the explosion is drowning it out. Hell if he knows.

He feels the heat of it first, burning and then overwhelming, until it chokes the air from his lungs and winds smoky tendrils around his throat. Somewhere, distantly, he feels the pain of it. Burning like the sunset as he and Mob headed down sidewalks to their favorite ramen shop after a long day of work. The smoke makes his eyes burn, too, like they’d burned when Mob accepted him as who he was, who showed him that he was somebody. That he was enough. Not perfect, but. Enough.

He wants to speak but the burn sucks the air from his crushed lungs and the words get stuck on the heat in his throat. He wants to say it’s not your fault, but there’s so much pressure, so much heat, so much chaos that he’s barely thought the words before they’re replaced with a much closer, much more real kind of pain.

He can’t tell who’s screaming, himself or Mob.

He wants to apologize.

The one time he thinks his words might actually mean something, he finds he can’t speak at all.

It’s one of those things.

One of those things you have a list for, but don’t realize you have a list for. One of those things that’s so inconceivable that the thought of it happening had never once crossed Mob’s mind. One of those things where you don’t think, “Oh, that could never happen,” until it actually happens and you’re thrown headfirst into denial.

One of those things is happening, now, and Mob’s heart climbs into his throat, slowly at first and then all at once. The flames burn the air bright and fill the room with smoke. Distantly, he hears Touichirou’s voice, though he can’t make out the words. He’s on his feet but he doesn’t remember how he got there.

The blast dims and disappears and Reigen’s body hits the floor like a broken marionette.

A beat passes in silence.

“Sh… Shishou?”

Another beat passes.

“Sh-Shishou, I-I--”

“Do you understand, now? The difference between us?”

Touichirou’s voice seems to come from far away. The rest of the world rings and spins. The ground buzzes like a plucked bass string.

“What do you gain by caring for others? All they are is a weak spot in your side. A vulnerability.”

“Reigen-san?” He can barely hear his own voice. It doesn’t sound like him. The body on the floor doesn’t look like Reigen’s, either. Reigen would never be that still, that quiet. “R-Reigen-san--”

“You can give it up now, boy. Nothing you do now will bring him back.”

“I’ll teach you how to use your powers.”

It clicks into place. Slowly, then too fast. The gravity of what just happened runs to slam into him. It grabs him by the throat and forces him to look closer. To realize.

Something twists and snaps in him. He isn’t sure what it is. It could be his heart and he wouldn’t care.

[ A N G E R ]

He doesn’t remember when he got to his feet. His body doesn’t feel like his own. He has no thoughts. The floor beneath him doesn’t feel like anything.

[ G U I L T ]

Through a tunnel, he sees Touichirou’s empty eyes and empty face with empty features and an empty heart. He sees a monster. He sees a murderer.

[ R A G E ]

Distantly he hears Reigen’s voice. Those words--that warning--words he lived by. Words he always held close to his heart. Reigen wouldn’t want him to do this. Reigen wouldn’t want him to do this. Reigen wouldn’t want him to do this.

Reigen isn’t here, anymore.

The world as he knows it explodes and burns, and he explodes and burns with it.

Shigeo is missing.

He never came to the office that day, when he’d been there consistently for the past three months. Upon inquiry, Ritsu couldn’t tell Serizawa much of anything, but there was something distant about the look in his eyes, like he should’ve said something but really didn’t want to. Serizawa asked a couple others he knew, but their answers were more or less the same.

No one knows where Shigeo is.

And, it’s that reason that leads Serizawa to the one place where he knows he’ll find him. On a high, grassy hillside, dying rays of sun stretched like shining ribbons across rolling fields. It’s close enough to the ocean to smell the salt in the air, feel a cool breeze, but its crashing waves can’t be heard from here. There’s only quiet.

Shigeo is sitting before a stone shrine, its shadow cast over him with the sun behind it. He’s wearing a hoodie and jeans instead of his uniform. The breeze caresses his messy hair. His knees are drawn up to his chest and his arms are wrapped around them.

Serizawa stops short but close enough, silent. Shigeo doesn’t say anything and he doesn’t, either.

“... I, um…”

Shigeo’s voice is small, and it cracks on the end. He takes a second before starting up again.

“I-I’m sorry I haven’t… visited, yet. I-I meant to, I promise, I j--” He stops short again, this time squeezing his knees closer to his chest and resting his head against them. “... I’m sorry. I… I thought about this for… for a long time. Before coming here. But, now, I don’t… I don’t know what to say.”

Serizawa tries to swallow the lump in his throat with little success. He feels like he should do something, say something, but can’t find a single thing worth saying.

“... I-I guess, I should… I should probably say thank you,” Shigeo manages, struggling. Serizawa can’t see his face, and he’s not sure he wants to. “Thank you for… f-for everything. I don’t think I’d be who I am now, without you. I-I don’t think I would’ve gotten as far as I did. S-So… I just…”

The wind is cool, but the setting sun casts warmth through the grassy fields, and there’s no mistaking it.

“... I-I hope you realized it. How much you did for me. H-How much you did for everyone you met. I hope you--” Voice breaks. He takes a shaky breath. “I-I hope you’re okay. I hope you’re at peace. A-And, I hope--I-I hope you realize how much you mean to all of us. How much we all love you.”

The lump in Serizawa’s throat is choking him, now. But before he can say anything, Shigeo hauls himself to his feet, eye-level with the inscription of Reigen Arataka carved into the face of the shrine. The wind blows a little stronger, but somehow, warmer.

“I’ll come back tomorrow,” Shigeo says, a promise. “I-I’ll… I’ll come back whenever I can. I-I’ll bring flowers next time, I-I think. D… Do you like flowers? I…”

Serizawa holds his breath and moves forward, drawing closer, until the distance between them is no more and he can reach out and settle a hand, cautiously, on Shigeo’s shoulder.

Shigeo flinches, and his head snaps around, wide eyes meeting Serizawa’s. It strikes Serizawa for a moment, that he might’ve been expecting someone else, but he pushes that thought away as far as it goes and squeezes his shoulder.

The panic ebbs from Shigeo’s eyes, and he turns his gaze toward his shoes. Serizawa can’t see his face again, but there’s the slightest of trembles beneath his hand.

“... I’m sure he would like anything you brought him, Shigeo.”

Shigeo swallows hard, bringing an arm to wipe at his eyes. “You think so?”

“I do.” He squeezes his shoulder again. “No, I know he would.”

A silence falls between them, broken only by the rustle of grass as the wind cards its fingers through it. Serizawa isn’t quite sure how long they stand there, but soon the sun is gone and it takes its warmth with it, leaving the chill of night in its wake.

“... Come on, Shigeo. I’ll walk you home.”

Shigeo is already nodding, wiping at his eyes again, and Serizawa squeezes his shoulder one last time before lowering his hand and turning away. Shigeo lingers a moment longer before jogging to flank him.

“Can…” Shigeo’s voice doesn’t break this time. “Can we come back again tomorrow?”

A tight smile tugs at Serizawa’s cheeks. “Of course we can, Shigeo. First thing.”

Shigeo nods and Serizawa turns away.

It might’ve just been his imagination, but he thought he felt a warm touch on his shoulder as they drifted further from the shrine. He turned to see if, perhaps, it was Shigeo, but no. Shigeo was, however, reaching to touch his own shoulder with a faint, broken kind of smile.

The warmth accompanies them through the darkness and all the way home.

21, 29, and 30!

21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?

H ok i actually. Dont read much fics believe it or not so i cant think a any fic writers off the top of my head. but i’ve read the book aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe like 5 times and im digging into the Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s other works. how he writes in terms of like. emotionally charged scenes and terms and shit i fucking love. Another one would be the author of the Graceling series. I’ve read those books probably 10 times each lmao. the world building is amazing! and the concepts of like. the premise of the book is simplistic and sounds all ‘’’’’mary sue’’’’’’ on it’s own but what Kristin Cashore does w it is so so cool.  

29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?

I wrote Recoil when i was dealing with some serious shit and its kinda. a vent thing? kind of. AND i wrote it like. right after season 1 ended when the fandom was me and myself and like. that one other person. so its fair it hasnt got much notice. but its one of my favourites and i legit like. cried so hard writing it lkshfkjsghkdghdkgh.

it basically is one of my in dept analysis of like. shou’s feelings towards touichirou, child abuse, moving on from it, the concept of ‘maybe he’s changed/better’ that is pushed on a lot of us child abuse survivors. n i Wish more ppl read it tbh

30) In contrast to 29 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?

My kir.ib.aku fics kfhskljfhdkfjh theyre the Only fics that Always get more kudos n like. i liked writing em but bn.ha sucks yknow

[arshoun]

I can imagine like all of Touichirou's Pokemon running Frustration at maximum strength (102 base power!!) because he's just that awful of a person and Pokemon trainer.

yeah :( god he sucks

[gittetj]

by no means is this an excuse for shou's mom, and tbh you've probably sucked up all the information on her you could already, but i remember that when she had her final convo w toichirou, he said that 'shou is starting to show interest in my powers, too' so it's possible she was under the impression that shou was happier living with his father? like, we don't know shou's age at that time but i think it was before he realized his dad was kinda a shitlord. and maybe by the time he realized it 1/2

You’re most welcome to start a discussion about Shou’s mom, she’s an interesting character to speculate about! Now look, you made me go off with receipts and everything haha

Have I ever said anything about Shou’s mom here, other than that comment about how I didn’t think it was forgivable for her to leave her son behind? Well, I still don’t think it is, but she’s just a human being, I don’t consider her inherently bad or good. Even though I can’t find it in me to defend her actions I can still understand the reasoning that might have led to them and how she might have felt about it.

Anyway, it’s not so much the fact that she left that gets to me, it’s the fact that she stayed absent. Leaving I can understand, leaving for a while might have been smart, might have given her some space to consider her situation and show Touichirou that she was serious about not tolerating the path he’d gone down. And it didn’t seem like she or Shou were in danger; as far as I can read there has never been anything in canon suggesting Touichirou was violent or even particularly controlling toward his family (until he beats Shou up and tries to kill him in the WD arc of course).

Leaving Shou with his dad, who we know he looked up to at the time, seems like a pretty straightforward decision. Pulling the kid out of his normal daily routine while everything was still chaotic and his mother wasn’t sure what to do and where to go probably wouldn’t have been in his best interest.

So far so good, but, let’s consider why she left at all.

She realized that Claw was (or was turning into, there’s some timeline stuff that doesn’t add up for me) a terrorist organization, right? She realized they were using violence and breaking the law to reach their goals. She realized that Touichirou was acting increasingly distant and anti-social even long, long before she left.

There’s a scene where Touichirou remembers her taking in a stray cat while Shou was just a baby, kind of to try and coax a caring side out of him. She was already worried about it back then. I operate with the belief that Shou was 7 or 8 when his mother left, it’s debatable, but he was at the very very least 5 - so 5+ years where she most likely continued to try and continued to fail at setting Touichirou straight.

She knew he was emotionally distant and ruthless and uncaring about anything or anyone else than his idea of an esper society. Judging from that one omake where Shou dreams of his mother crying because he was using his powers, she clearly didn’t associate esper powers with anything good.

Touichirou was obsessed with his powers and he spoke about Shou like he was going to grow up and follow in his footsteps, take on the same belief that espers are superior to other people.

As a caring, non-esper mother, does that sound like a man you want to raise your child? Does that sound like a good path for an impressionable 5- to 8-year-old kid? It sure as hell doesn’t sound like one to me. Whether Shou loved and looked up to his dad is completely irrelevant. Of course he did! He couldn’t possibly know any better at that age.

From there on, it all comes down to speculation, because, again, we know so little about Shou’s mom. My personal belief is that she was so disgusted by Touichirou’s actions that it extended to Shou. She came to a point where all she could see in Shou was a mini-Touichirou, so she just… let go of him. I suppose she thought if there was no way to change Touichirou, then there wouldn’t be a way to prevent Shou from becoming like him either.

Maybe giving up on it all was a gradual thing, maybe it didn’t happen until after she left. I think leaving was a spontaneous and mildly selfish action. Staying gone was a not at all spontaneous and highly selfish action.

She put herself first and left Shou behind. It’s that plain and simple. Sure, you have to save yourself first before you can save anyone else, but again, there is nothing suggesting she was in danger and she was in a sound enough state of mind to stand her ground and have a big argument with Touichirou before she vanished. No matter how I look at it I can’t think of anything redeeming to say about it. She knowingly left her very young son behind with an emotionally absent, dangerous, bad, bad man. So, there.

The way Touichirou speaks about her, it sounds like he hasn’t talked to Shou’s mom at all since she left. He didn’t even have any idea Shou had been in contact with her.

Look at him, does that look like the face of someone who had even considered the possibility that Shou’s mom was reachable?

For that reason I don’t believe it was the mother’s initiative to search out Shou; Shou must have made that happen himself. How long have they been in contact? Who knows. Long enough for them talking to each other to become a “from time to time” thing - I’d say a year at the very least.

At least a year where she hasn’t figured out something is wrong, hasn’t tried to pull Shou away from the situation he’s put himself in? Of course, we don’t know that she hasn’t tried to do something, but it sure doesn’t sound like it.

I personally don’t think Shou let her know anything about what was going on, I think he lied to her the whole time, let his mom think everything was fine, because deep down beneath the whole tear-Claw-down-and-save-the-world hero spiel, what Shou’s really trying to do is bring his parents back together so they can be the normal, happy family he vaguely remembers they once were - or at least likes to believe they were.

But, lies or not, it’s hard to believe that there wouldn’t be any signs for Shou’s mom to pick up on the fact that something was very, very wrong. Shou says she always asks about Touichirou, but since Shou has apparently managed to keep it from her what his dad was working toward, her questions must have been very superficial.

That situation at the end of the WD arc is the hardest to wrap my head around. Shou and his mom talk on the phone, he visits her sometimes, but she apparently takes no stock of what Shou’s doing the rest of the time, does little to no mothering, asks about Touichirou but doesn’t take it any farther than that. All of it just gives me the feeling she’s still really reluctant to engage with Shou at all.

So why does she keep up with it? I suppose she’s stuck between regretting her actions and wanting to make things right, and still not knowing what to do with her son who, at least in some ways, must have drifted quite far away from how his mom attempted to raise him when he was little.

I don’t think Shou’s mom ever wanted him out of his life, but her need to cut Touichirou and Claw off is bigger than her desire to hold on to her son. I think that was true when she left and I still think it’s true at the end of the WD arc.

If I’m gonna be really mean about it, I’d say Shou came into the world as a bargaining chip for his mom to try and make Touichirou change and maybe she’s trying to distance herself from that ulterior motive, too, because man, that’s not very nice… Maybe Shou subconsciously picked up on that and that’s why he’s so hellbent on proving to her that he can make his dad see reason.

I’m sorry, this is all very awful, but Shou’s mom just hasn’t done anything to make me think she isn’t as messed up as the rest of the family. Does it make her a terrible person to purposely overlook Shou’s issues and put herself first? I don’t know, but it definitely makes her a lousy mom.

Anyway. mp100 is all about change and overcoming past mistakes, so for Shou’s sake, let’s hope that applies to his mom, too.

And of course, this is just my interpretation of the situation.

[gurguliare]

alkarinque replied to your post “ANYWAY IT’S last mobday ama”

uhh any thoughts on reigen and shou interactions? shou & mob? (... does mob even talk to shou again in canon after claw arc)

I’m doing the easiest first but I will of course answer all of these at some point, lacking self-control: I feel like Shou would be pretty standoffish with Reigen tbh. It’s interesting to me that he doesn’t even pay Reigen any notice during 7th Division arc---I wonder if Serizawa kind of gave Shou a convenient mental category wherein to file pacifist adults (not that useful, less predictable, turn to as a last resort.) And I think Touichirou’s faltering efforts at self-improvement would make Shou even warier, because nothing is more awkward than feeling protective/defensive of a heel parent’s growth, and Shou seems like the kind of kid who would go into any conversation (with a Reigen-tier busybody) overthinking possible outcomes like “what if this guy assumes I’m eager to forgive my shitty pops” vs “what if this guy assumes I want nothing more to do with pops and I have to explain that he’s fucking trying, I guess!” But the discomfort maybe cools off a bit after chapter 100 shitstorm, when Shou can gaze upon Reigen and Mob and say to himself, wow, at least I DON’T have a strong and sincere relationship with a person who would die for me, that seems like it must suck. So then he hangs pityingly around the office on special occasions? I don’t know. 

Shou and Mob... I guess he doesn’t interact directly with ???%, huh. That’s kind of cute. I wonder if seeing it makes him feel guiltier about attempted “detonation” back in the day, but probably not, Shou seems more like he would just run the numbers and be reminded of how lucky he was that his plan didn’t work.

The thing with Shou is that it’s super bizarre to me that the series ends on such a hard “I won’t use these powers anymore” for him, totally contra the uplifting self-acceptance with Mob... I like it, but I don’t know what to make of it. That’s probably the thing I would be most curious about for any futurefic dealing with them. Ritsu finds out about Shou’s vow of mundanity and immediately is like “I respect you but are you SURE” and Shou wakes up in the middle of the night to the friendly sight of Ritsu about to push him out of the bunk bed. to test if the vow also applies to psychic reflexes. Ritsu: “I wasn’t going to DO it, I was just THINKING about it,” floods of crocodile tears. Shou appeals to Mob for sleepover arbitration. Mob gets through half an incredibly uncomfortable speech about repression (mostly ellipses) before Shou breaks down and explains that psychic power means different things to different people and this is just him experimenting with moderation to learn more about himself. Mob: oh. that sounds reasonable. Ritsu: nii-san make him take it back, I miss blowing up the paaaaaaark

[gutter-guy-100]

i agree that touichirou sucks and doesnt deserve redemption but editing the wiki like that kinda just, makes it difficult for good intentioned ppl to find details if they want to write fanfics about the arc he's in or about shou, or if they just want to refresh their memory on the things he did/that part of the story

The only thing you need to know about Touichirou is that he’s a rat bitch
