Thistle struggling to reconcile Mithrun saying Delgal’s dead with the illusion he’s been living, cracks forming on memories of a time Delgal refused soup from him.

Thistle in "Delgal’s" arms, refusing soup because he no longer feels needs.

Eating is the privilege of the living

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.

I think we as a fandom haven't talked enough about the Tomura-Shouto parallels.

Violent, abusive father who physically abuses them and ignores their will / agency

Said violent father saddled with dead parent issues

Well meaning mother who tries but fails to protect them (and who makes a deal with the devil for the hope of a family filled with joy)

The theme of heroes who hurt their families to save strangers

Having been groomed as heir to toxic legacy of someone trying to destroy All Might

Still wants to be a hero

Inspired by All Might

Dreams, memories buried due to trauma

Outfit built to project that trauma

Seeking out their hero to talk trauma-dump

The Chapter after Tomura's Origin chapter is called "Liberation", when in hindsight we know he wasn't liberated. Just like the chapter after Shouto's Origin chapter is called Emancipation. And we know that was misleading, as Shouto had still a long road ahead of him to process his past with his father.

You get the gist.

Before Eri was a Shigaraki parallel, Shouto was the original Tomura parallel. The first test for Izuku to save someone from themselves, from the trauma that buried them. To help bring the hero inside to the surface and like Shouto became one of Izuku's strongest allies, I think saving Tomura will be the key to destroying the original AFO quirk.

something i find very interesting is that fukuzawa and fukuchis reunion seems to be an almost directly mirrored version of dazai and chuuyas reunion

both scenes start with fukuchi and chuuya entering the room where their old partner is waiting for them in handcuffs

very soon after that we’re made aware that they have a past together but while fukuchi and fukuzawa start cheerfully drinking together and reminiscing about the past dazai and chuuyas interactions are more tense and they don’t seem to hold any fond memories of each other

when things escalate both fukuchi and chuuya attack the handcuffs of the other to set them free (seriously these are almost exactly the same panel)

and yet fukuchi doesn’t go through with it claiming he knew fukuzawa wanted him to act this way in order to gain the advantage over him in a fight. by keeping him chained fukuchi is able to stay in control while chuuya breaks the chains and directly challenges dazai to a fight which ends with dazai being able to blackmail him by claiming it would look like chuuya let him escape

both fukuchi and dazai propose a deal to their old partner that seems to benefit both sides and while fukuzawa immediately denies chuuya (reluctantly) agrees to go along with dazais plan

the ending of both scenes are completely different now with fukuchi and fukuzawa both being enemies on different sides despite them previously seeming to be on good terms

compare that to dazai and chuuya whose reunion ends with them having agreed to cooperate. despite them having claimed to not have any positive feelings for the other when chuuya leaves they’re making what seems to be on old inside joke of them which lets us see dazai genuinely laugh for the first time

theres such a huge difference in how fukuchi and fukuzawa try to give off the impression of being on civilized terms while actually having very opposing morals and ideals (especially taking into account that fukuchi was the one to manipulate fukuzawa and the ada in the first place) while dazai and chuuya would rather die than have people think they like each other but actually still understand each other like no one else and these scenes highlight that really well in my opinion

bakugou, ch. 362 // miyazawa kenji, ame ni mo makezu “be not defeated by the rain”

if anyone is unfamiliar, miyazawa’s poem ame ni mo makezu is where horikoshi got the inspiration for deku’s name. the poem speaks of a man who is humble and happy to help others without any expectations of accolades. deku once told kacchan that he channels his confidence and ferocity in battle, and now we see that bakugou has started to channel izuku as well - the muttering, the strategizing, and ultimately, the self sacrificing.

#i made myself very emotional when i realized the parallels between this chapter and the poem!!!!!! #but yeah deku coming from dekiru = useless #you should read the poem if you haven’t yet it’s very sweet #and very the type of hero dekus been #bakugou #bnha 362 #mha 362 #bnha manga spoilers #bakugou katsuki #katsuki bakugou #miyazawa #bakudeku #bkdk #my stuff

Gojo 🤝 Nanami : casting 4 black flashes on the same day + having the left side of your body burnt off then dying

I was once again thinking about this goofy Luffy moment after his Lucci punch™ and i had to see it frame by frame.

first the force of it throws them both away, and while Lucci is seen on screen tumbling for a long moment, Luffy is just away in a blink of an eye.

and then his funny scene - his legs are like jelly that he tries to get under control,

he stumbles, falls, rolls into a mix of all his limbs and eyes,

and then only the cloud behind him cushions his fall

- which would be interesting if he can subconsciously control that while he tries to regain the control over his movements - that the environment around him still adapts to his awakened Devil Fruit abilities and morphs to help him. Where others would probably fall through that cloud, for Luffy that cloud backs him up like a trampoline.

It's just fascinating!

Loid and Yor, who are not even Anya's real parents, got furious and almost blew up an important interview that is crucial to an important mission after Swan hurts her feelings for his own satisfaction.

While Melinda and Donovan, Damian's real parents, he's from their own flesh and blood, didn't even care that someone punched their child

The fact that Loid and Yor had the same shocked reaction when they told them it was fine, like "someone just punched you child in the face, and you're saying it's fine? wdym it's fine?"
