Honestly this has more imaginative angles and clever camera tricks and choreography using the teleportation than most films... spectacular action sequence
The thing that got me was the First Person Shooter camera angle we got. Reminds me of a short scene in Kong: Skull Island where you get an fps angle with an ak shooting up at a giant spider. I've watched films/anime try to do the fps and not do it so well but the above examples are great imo.
It sucks that Mob psycho 100 doesn't get the recognition it deserves. One of the best animations of fight scenes I've ever seen in my life exist in this show
are you really saying this dude? Tired of these comments first of all you're saying this one a video with 9m views and active comment section with thousands of likes it's clips on the crunchyroll channel has millions of views of not hundreds of thousands above 500k and it won the anime awards it deserves you're just not exploring enough content based on it then how can u say it doesn't have the recognition it deserves when you're just ignoring all this barely know anything also u can see everyone are hyped for season 3 and it's one of the highest rated anime on mal
@@cluster4583 chill dude why are you being so hostile. I meant to say it doesn't get the fame as big as more well known animes like Naruto, One piece and DBZ. Obviously those are big animes but I wish mob psycho was more well known on that level is what I mean because it deserves so much more praise and attention is my point.
Only reason I haven’t watched it is because I’m already watching so many other shows:( I like seeing different art styles so this is definitely one I will add
This anime is top tier. no unnecessary filler, no pointless lewd scenes with shallow waifu characters, just continously good episodes. its short, but every episode just makes the story so much greater
Bro Teru is so sick. The fact that he actually managed to adapt this this overwhelming fighting style and get inside Shimzaki's head is why he's like top 3 in this anime for me.
@@DwiS-qs8by not really even with all the fighting he did at mobs side he still had no chance against shimazaki in a 1v1 even before he evolved and shimazaki admitted he was inferior to the boss and the boss is weaker than mob so sorry to burst your bubble
I love the line because a big sticking point in this show is how these psychic powers can obfuscate what truly matters for people which perfectly sets up reigen knocking him on his ass
yep, more simple character designs makes stuff like this possible even in a seasonal show. Wish more studios did this but well...can't sell anime figures then, I guess.
@@Kcpvvy15 I mean, that's my point. You can still make a profit just making a good anime, no matter the art style. It's just that a lot of studios think you need to have the definitive stereotypical "anime" style in order to do so.
@@ijustbevibin0425 I mean how would you call it? There isn't a ton of details shading or lightning effects but because of that its really smooth and fluid
That's true. BONES animated this, but they also animated (and still continue to) My Hero Academia. They really only go off like this when the movies are involved, but almost never in the show, as the designs are too complicated.
@@toongamer2810 It's more like there is a passionate team working on Mob Psycho. Bones is split into different teams, as MHA has a specific team working on the anime. Same for Mob Psycho and other Bones works like Vanitas for example. The only reason that MHA gets meh treatment compared to the rest would probably be due to the fact that they do yearly productions.
What I love about this fight is Shimazaki isn’t dumb. He targets the one he believes to be the most intuitive and likely to beat him, instead of the cliché where the strongest is left till last to one on one him (although that does eventually happen when mob shows up).
Yeah, one thing I love about ONE is how he's always so logical in the most fantastical settings. For example, the first thing Reigen did when Mogami threw him in episode 4 was to brace his head for the impact; it's so perfectly subtle and logical yet unexpected, and it perfectly captures Reigen's personality as well.
@@laststrike4411 Though in this instance it's more like they had limited time and a plan that they couldn't involve the hero in because he was out of commission.
My favorite part about this fight is that Teru figuring out Shimazaki's pattern was visually apparent. Other shows will have characters "get use" to an opponent's fighting style without any visible repetition to their movements beforehand, it doesn't feel like it was figured out on the rewatch. Shimazaki teleports behind someone 8 times before Teru catches him the 9th time, a decent amount of times to deduce a pattern during a battle, all with nice choreography. It may seem like a small and obvious thing to do in a fight scene, but it's satisfying as hell when done right.
It's been said a million times, but this is easily one of the most impressive fights to ever be made from a technical standpoint (at least as of recent). Clarity is maintained on Shimazaki through pov shots/dynamic camera movement and tricks us into thinking we've got a moment where things can be safe until he disappears. I don't think any other anime has been able to convey the threat of fighting somebody with teleportation abilities quite like Mob Psycho.
this is legit the best fight scene Ive ever seen in any show. The way the camera focuses on him, the dialogue, the sound effects, the way they show the use of his teleportation power is absolutely fantastic, I wish we could see that more frequently in TV shows
Teru's arc really shines here. While previously considering himself the greatest, after being proved otherwise and realizing he was just an ordinary person he realized it was a two way street, he realizes how ordinary Shimazaki is, even if he's actually more powerful, and even if his own fake sense of safety because he's allied with the supposed strongest so he won't ever need to worry about defeat, he remains an ordinary man, who can be beaten by someone else, just like Teru did, and it happens beautifully, since after mob shows up it's Reigen the one who finishes beating him up before he flees
I also love at 2:19 where we see a little bit of the season one Teru rage still present. It shows that he has changed and become a better person but he hasn’t completely changed to become a different person.

If you think humanity hasn't done a lot already then stop using all the tech we have developed over generations.
This fight scene is brilliant. I love how instead of moving the characters around when teleporting, they change the backround. MP100 will go down as a classic
those few frames were actually some of my favorite parts of this entire fight scene. it made me realize how godly teleportation power is. Like true omnipresence, where every inch of the world is available to you at whim, as if the world revolves around you
I think the reason why I love this scene so much, is that you're focused on Shimazaki. The camera stays locked on him, causing him to keep the same position, while the world around him changes. It's a really nice change, compared to a scene like.. in X-Men 2, where it's focused on the people getting their asses kicked by Nightcrawler instead of on him in specific. The way it's animated makes it seem like Shimazaki is the protagonist of the show fighting against multiple enemies. When he's actually a bad guy.
3:46 Out of all the moments of the show, this is one of the few that stuck out to me. In the midst of getting beat down and having his perception of his invincibility shattered, rather than falter like most antagonists had done up to this point, Shimazaki shows an insane amount of composure and mindfulness that very few people possess. It's a shame we didn't get to see a lot of him as I thought he could have been an interesting character to explore in the show.
Sure the animation is cool but I feel like the one aspect that a lot of people tend to overlook about Mob Psycho was it's sound design. Rewatching the whole series with headphones made me realize that they really outdid themselves when it comes to the sound in this series.
I specifically looked it up because I kept hearing about it. It felt like I was watching children on a playground pretend-fighting. Complete with slow-mo walking.
my favourite part is that when they show him teleporting, instead of simply making him disappear, they make it so that the background changes to show that he's already teleported someplace else. it feels like you're teleporting with him.
I cannot get enough of this fight, I've been watching it a lot for the past 2 years. But I recently noticed something really cool. At 2:45 when Shimazaki is on screen, surprised, the shot turns into Teru attempting to hit him, and the transition from those two shots is a teleport. The animation lets us know how Shimazaki is shocked, how Teru attempted to hit him, and how he teleported out of the way all in one second. That's incredible.
John Michael De Leon well, he caught the prime minister on pine cone city, and we don’t know how far that is from seasoning city, that at least stablishes he would have split them up a city away
@@ManusiaKagakRusuh for real... I've never had so many op characters be better written than (and don't hate me) Goku, Naruto, pretty much 99% of all anime protagonists
Then support the series, they could make the second season because the supervision begged the studio bone. why? Because the sales are just way too fucking low, so promote everybody to support the series, like it’s a miracle to see the second season. GO SUPPORT THE SERIES GOD DAMNIT
Bet there'll be a ss3 of Mob. The manga was complete at the end of 2017 and it's a must to see how far Mob had grown. The next arc will be fucking teary (Sry for my English, I don't even know what I'm talking about)
I gotta say he's the smartest when it comes to using his teleportation, which is why he's so scary to fight and cool to look at. Minato is a very close second.
I love the way Teru laughs at 3:04. The VA did it perfectly. You can tell that Teru sees his naivety in Shimazaki, which leads to his next line, where he tries to teach Shimazaki that he is just a normal person just as Mob taught Teru in the high school. That laugh is great because Teru knows that there is someone much stronger than Shimazaki, and laughs in face of that.
I like how when Shimazaki was saying he's the second strongest in the world, Teru has a flashback to when he himself thought he was the strongest and was like hehehe *should I tell him? somebody needs to tell him oh this is going to be fun*
That was teru's entire plan. If they could win with a coordinated effort? Awesome. However the real aim was to keep this guy contained until mob showed up.
2:17 The sudden having to decide whats the move in freefall, getting kicked into an office bulding and just yeeting the room at the guy because you are operating on 100% instinct. I love how the little details of psychic powers are handled.
3:00 "well if we disregard the boss I am the world's strongest" I love how Teru's response is transfixed against a wide shot of the entire landscape. It adds weight to his response like, "bruh do you see how big this fucking world is? That's a bold statement scrub"
@Shaan Naafir , nah. 1st is shigeo 2nd n 3rd is occupied by most powerful vengeful spirit guy n claw boss. not sure who's more powerful. that guy may come in 4th
Loved so many parts of this fight, the struggle at the beginning showing how scary teleportation mastery actually is, the resilience of all the espers, the headsmash into the wall then car via teleportation, the epic teamwork by the espers when he was distracted, and then mob showing up scaring Shimazaki showing he was outclassed. One of the few top level anime sequences that last like 5 minutes (if they finished showing mob's part).
I love how, once Mob shows up, it isn't even a real fight. Reigen punches the guy and then Mob's menace scares him shitless so he teleports away never to be seen again.
@@taka3634 I know what he said I can read. Here scared and defeated mean the same thing. In your way of thinking, Even Reigen didn't defeat him he just scared him. and even what he said is wrong. he wasn't scared by Mob but by Reigen because he couldn't detect him.
1:23 And Teruki was right. It looks like Shimazaki teleportations were at random, but the vast majority of them were behind people who tried to attack him. 2:45. This part here practically confirms it. Teruki wasn't a menace to Shimazaki simply because he was a great tactician, but he also gave hope in a hopeless situation.
Didn't even pick up on that myself. Made me love this fight even more than I already do. Everything else is essentially rapid fire, but the shot where Terada tries to hit him with the truck clearly shows this pattern. Made me go back and pay more attention to the other scenes, and made me love the last scene with teru more. Amazing. (Just remembered I think his name is Terada, not Sakurai)
I'm still in aftershocks of this fight holy crap. That was absolutely beautiful. And then when Mob shows up the screen narrows just like in Mogami's world again waaaaaaah so cool~ So cool I forget to breathe.
That's probably the best part, Teru says that Shimazaki's weakness is attacks he can't see coming or read and Reigen, a completely normal guy, just floors him, all because he couldn't see it coming
Mike Hunt I’ve always had trouble grasping the difference between the two, would you mind explaining what you mean by that? I’d greatly appreciate it! What are the differences between tactics and strategy you see in this fight?
@@fireblaze1580 I'd be happy to! The best way I've seen it explained is that tacticians focus on how things are done, whilst strategists focus on why they're done. The other way of putting it is that tacticians focus on details, whilst strategists are big picture thinkers. This difference is pretty much hardwired into you and defines how you approach fighting. Cards on the table, I'm a tactician through and through, but I'll try to explain the other side. Teruki is the strategist here, and the pros and cons of strategic thinking are evident in the fight. A strategist considers the strengths, weaknesses, and desires of the enemies and allies involved. This is the information that fuels their decision making. What are the strengths of Teru and the group? Well, they have the numbers advantage. They have a variety of powers and they can work well as a team. Their weakness is that individually none of them can handle their opponent. What about Shimazaki's strengths and weaknesses? He's a very dangerous fighter, but he's alone. What does he want to do? Shimazaki almost certainly wants to rip through them one by one. If I took a strategically minded boxer and put him against someone he'd never seen before, his guiding principle would be "whatever he wants to do, don't let him do it." So, the strategy is to use numbers to overwhelm Shimazaki, then use teamwork to deny him a chance to recover. The "why" behind the strategy lies in the strengths, weaknesses, and intentions of all involved. Strategists don't aim to be big picture thinkers, it's just that the information they see leads to it. You can also see that they're goal oriented. A strategy is defined by the goals it sets out to achieve. They're usually very simple but effective. That sequence from 3:22 to 3:45 was always the end goal. Everything else is done with the aim of achieving it. What lets them down (at first) is their tactics. It's all well and good to have the right goals, but you still need a way to achieve them. That's what tactics are to a strategist - how they achieve their overall goals. A strategist always needs tactics. With the initial goal being to overwhelm Shimazaki, the group tries to achieve this through pure aggression. Each of them attacking as forcefully and as much as possible, hoping to put Shima on the back foot. Unfortunately for them, Shimazaki is a good enough tactician to scupper their attempts. The tactical change happens when Teru switches from aggression to deception. He distracts Shima long enough for a teammate to hit him when he's not looking. Note that this is fulfils the initial goal of using numbers to overwhelm Shima. That's stayed the same. What's changed is the how. It's very rare to find someone who's good at both, and you can see the relative simplicity of Teruki's tactics versus his strategy. Now we're onto my boi Shimazaki and back in my ballpark. Essentially, a tactician has no overarching goals to fulfil, nor does he worry about strengths and weaknesses. Because he thinks in a completely different way to someone like Teruki. Shima only asks how he beats whatever his opponent is doing. Remember what I said about the strategic boxer? Well, a tactical boxer goes by the creed, "whatever he's doing, do something better." Watch how Shimazaki fights in the first half. He doesn't have a plan, he's just responding to each threat as it arises. On a meta level, look at how many skills and powers he shows mastery of in the fight. That's the sign of a tactician. A fighter with really clean and fluid technique IRL is usually a tactician. Because they ask how things are done, they investigate the mechanics and underlying concepts behind techniques, which gives them detailed knowledge of how they work. This is the information they use to analyse opponents. They figure out how well he does things, and exploit whatever flaws they can see in his techniques. If there are none, a tactician will do something that beats what their enemy does. Once you know how something works, you know how to break it. You block high, I hit low. You swing wide, I hit straight. That sort of thing. That's why Teru makes a big deal out of Shima's ability to read moves, and why their first tactic of aggression doesn't work. A great tactician can figure out how to beat your moves with a glance, doing those moves hard and fast doesn't change that. However, Teruki exploits this detail-based thinking. By being able to hold his own against Shima, then taunting him, Teru captures all of the tactician's attention. Because they're so detail based, tacticians are often completely blind to the bigger picture. In that moment, Shima forgot about everyone else involved as he tried to figure out Teru. That's when a rock hits him and he gets rekt. Then we see the real danger of tacticians. What happens when Shimazaki concentrates? He doesn't start think about the big picture. He gets EVEN MORE detail oriented, and analyses the beings around him for flaws to exploit. Then he does that Tai Lung nerve shiz and ices everyone. That's the danger of a tactician. They have such intricate knowledge of combat that they can do things you don't understand and are powerless to stop. A strategist always needs tactics, but a tactician doesn't need a strategy. The only thing that truly foils them is a bigger, badder tactician. Who appears at the very end in the form of Mob. I know that was a lot to take in but I tried to put it as simply as possible without skipping anything vital. At its heart, strategy vs tactics is about how people see the world. That's impossible to change, and figuring out how one interacts with information is key to being effective and efficient. Thanks for reading!
Mike Hunt Mike Hunt Thank you so much for your thorough, precise, and clearly experienced reply. From your first few sentences you were very effective in explaining the core differences between strategy and tactics and everything else you’ve written served to just further clarify and eliminated all possible misunderstandings or confusion I might have had. Reading you brake down this fight in terms of each characters strategic vs tactical decisions was also a lot of fun and I really appreciate the effort you put into it! It really helped in clarifying that effective strategy is having the right goals and effective tactics is executing things efficiently and effectively to reach those goals. Strategy is long term and tactics short term. Based on what you’ve told me, I would say having the ability to execute one’s goals effectively in fighting situations like this where the raw power and skill available to each side can vary a lot is far more valuable then a good plan. Their comes a point where even the most genius strategies simply can’t overcome the gap created by overwhelming skill, power, and resources. (Pretty much a Mob at ???% vs anyone type of situation) Where strategy seems to be able to shine is when everyone is on a more or less equal playing field in terms of tactics available to them.(like chess)The winner is then determined based solely on who is able to conjure the most effective plans with which they can then apply those tactics in order to reach the most desirable outcome. Like most things context is really important, and there are situations where a reliance on tactics first will get the job done, and other situations where a good strategy is your best option. When tactics fail all you can do is hope for a better strategy. But if your tactics are effective, your “strategy” can be as simple as “win”. At least that is what I managed to gather from what you’ve written! I’m not too sure which method I favour in general just yet. I’d probably need some time to really think about it, but in the specific context of a fight I’d probably be more of a strategy first kind of fighter. I’m not confident enough in my tactical skills to think I’ll be able to come out of a fight as safe as I’d like to without a decent strategy to compensate. But of course there usually isn’t a lot of time to think during real fights and what I would do also depends on what context the fight itself is in and what my goal is. If I’m just trying to escape as quickly as possible I may rely on my tactic of running away faster than them! Thanks again for your help in clarifying the differences between the two, and I hope you have a nice day!
@@fireblaze1580 Everything you wrote is spot on. Thanks for taking the time to read it all, I can tell you've understood it. I think this is the most pleasant exchange I've had in a RUclips comment section! Enjoy your day!
I don’t know you two, but I love you two. What an intensive and passionate discussion you guys had. This is the kinda thing I like to see in the RUclips comments.
Aside from other parts that have been praised here, I love 2:17-2:22. The change to a dimly lit room, Shimazaki teleporting in the foreground, a flash of Teru seeing him and then immediately shifting his eyes to the pile of office furniture in the corner which, because of how it was shot, had already been established were there for just a millisecond when he flew into the building, no thoughts just throw, with the aura and sound effect appearing, and the growl of effort/frustration as we come back to the same shot of Shimazaki running towards him. It’s just so smooth.
We really need a notorious anime ceremony award on a seasonal basis. Anyone involved in such masterpiece deserves more than a standard recognition from their Studio production.
@Abrar Harahap Lmao just because it isnt as normal looking as the hentai you watch doesnt mean the "graphics" suck. Its a different form of animation, that quite frankly looks pretty god damn good.
mob psycho’s art style is very different and I didn’t really like it when I started watching the show but then it slowly started growing on me and I love it
Shimazaki's ability is my childhood dream come true!! I always (ever since I watched Naruto) thought that teleportation is an overpowered skill and you can do so much with it. This fight is precisely how I imagined a teleportation user to fight. I had my mouth open the entire battle out of the excitement! I can't believe this... I never thought I would see my long-awaited dream brought into existence. This means so much to me!
just teleportation isnt an overpowered skill, imagine a body of sheldon from BBT with teleportation punching someone like cbum or ronny coleman , they wont even feel those punches no matter if using teleportation he hits them behind or face
@@rajatsinghchaudhary2946 you can easily just cheese it though if you lacked strength teleport them away along with you or send them to a dangerous place, such as high altitudes or lava pits in volcanoes that you can easily evade and teleport away from a second later, someone strong cant really do much to escape
Like Teru said, attacks he can't detect work on him as they would on a normal human... which means Reigen essentially beat the crap out of a disabled blind man
Bill when he used the mind’s eye he cutted off everything except the espers from his detections that’s why he didn’t detect reigen, because he’s not an esper
This was actually a really well-choreographed fight scene. It didn't feel like everyone was just standing around and going in one by one. You had people coming in left and right while the distant fighters were attacking from afar
@@harjotgill6162 That's both true and false. If you see ONE's comics you will notice his action scenes are always drawn out and creative. Obviously, both Studio Bones and JC Staff are responsible for the animation side of things. But the ideas came from the comics. O my reason season 1 of both OPM & Mob psycho didn't have group fight scenes is cause the comics didn't have them either. I'm not taking credit away from bones or madhouse cause these guys are very skilled and smart enough to extend action scenes where it fits naturally in the story/scene.
When an OP character is so well written, they become so lovable and charming and Shimazaki is a big example. Not only did Bones make his scenes freaking gorgeous, but you can also tell how much work One put to make him this walking badass handsome OP villain and I freaking love it.
@@dpage446 I would argue with Saitama, but yes Mob is very interesting. I was trying to point out how teleportation is unbelievably over uesd, but ONE was able to make a villain with that power extremely OP and scary to fight but also very well written that hating him is kinda impossible.
@@Kasoha4 You'll find out more if you read the manga, but Saitama is an excellent character. Even though he doesn't get that much character development, his outlook is interesting. In fact, later on, the main draw of Saitama is not how strong he is, but how he's really the only true hero in the series. Everybody else has one reason or another to do it, but Saitama ( and mumen rider too ) is the greatest hero of all time not just for his strength, but because he is actually a hero.
@@basiljohn3953 idk I'm not that fan of OPM so Saitama isn't that interesting to me, I appreciate characters like Mob more too. I don't in any shape or form hate him, I'm just not that interested 😂
@@Cliffsaint17 imo it's the best portrayal of teleportation in anime, creativity and utilisation wise. but yeah, the animation and choreography in Shimazaki's fight definetely topped
The only second best (idk if second bc its a move not animation) is Jumper, tho it has a nerf on how they telentransport its still a good movie on that at least thats what i thought like 10 years ago when i watched that
I just love how the teleportation happens from his perspective. It's not him that disappears from sight, it's the world around him that shifts as he's remaining perfectly still.
This is what Bones is truly capable of, what a shame that MHA didn't came close to this quality of animation. or is just me that imagines the adaptation of the manga with a movie quality everytime I read and watch some of the excellent work of Horikoshi
It's because ONE is a better story teller than Horikoshi. Additionaly despite ONE not being a good illustrator he is good at panelling and storyboarding which is very helpful to animators since the mangaka sends storyboards to the studios first to guide them. Also the art style is simple so its easier to have a fluid animation as there are less complicated details.
There are three three-years between each season of Mob. There’s a new season of MHA every other spring. Perhaps if they were given more time, the anime for My Hero would look better-into its later seasons anyway. Not to say it’s incapable of great animation, which it is in S6
Pretty sure a lot of us can agree that the one of the best interactions in this fight is at 0:49. The fact that it takes first person perspective from Sakurai just trying to find the best time to shoot, Shimazaki goes off screen and says the words "Aren't you going to shoot?" then he turns around and Shimazaki is just right behind him. It's perfect in that it shows just how focused he is on everything around him. "chef's kiss"
Same with 1:09 Where it focuses on Sakurai (? Idk his name either lol) and then it reveals instantaneously that he's on top of him instead of what we presumed.
@@toongamer2810 What we presumed was he was anywhere except standing on top of him. This entire fight is just really, REALLY well animated and the choreography is godly.
@@lilinberce9386 Exactly. If anything I thought he would at least be grazed, or teleported away from him. But the fact that he's literally and figuratively on top within a second is insane, and I gotta agree, this fight is truly incredible
Everyone is saying how MP100's best quality are the animation and fight scenes, but the true quality and highlight of MP100 is its impressive way of expressing and portraying real life lessons
@@ODoyleRulez_ The only reason why we haven't had this way of animating teleportation is just because animators are lazy. They could have done this a long time ago. Its sad we are only seeing this kind of animation today.
The artistic liberties taken in this fight are why this show will go down as an all time best. Rare to see a fight almost take the villain pov because of their power
I like how you you can kinda see teruki slowly learning Shimazaki’s pattern as the scars get beat up. 1:03 he begins to react faster, 1:17 he gets pretty close to hitting him, and 2:45 is where he finally figures it all out.
Damn, that's really impressive. I don't really understand why Mob told Teru that he's nothing without his psychic powers. Teru has so many other skills as well, would clearly be popular even without psychic powers
@@alexanderkorol677 I think Mob was basically projecting in that scene, and he himself fears that he is nothing without his powers. Also, the most he knew of Teruki by that point was that he was a narcissistic jerk who liked beating people up, so
2:51 He almost always teleports behind his opponent, or at least out of their line of sight. You can see it throughout the fight at 0:35 , 0:51 , 1:04 , 1:09 , 1:16 , 2:05 (I may have missed some too). That's the pattern Teru picks up on. It's really subtle, but that's also what makes it so cool when Teru picks up on it.

That's true. BONES animated this, but they also animated (and still continue to) My Hero Academia. They really only go off like this when the movies are involved, but almost never in the show, as the designs are too complicated.
@@toongamer2810 It's more like there is a passionate team working on Mob Psycho. Bones is split into different teams, as MHA has a specific team working on the anime. Same for Mob Psycho and other Bones works like Vanitas for example.

@@jadenxii damn, the MP100 team must be bunch of passionate fellas if they really the one that make the musics too💀✨
What I love about this fight is Shimazaki isn’t dumb. He targets the one he believes to be the most intuitive and likely to beat him, instead of the cliché where the strongest is left till last to one on one him (although that does eventually happen when mob shows up).
Yeah, one thing I love about ONE is how he's always so logical in the most fantastical settings. For example, the first thing Reigen did when Mogami threw him in episode 4 was to brace his head for the impact; it's so perfectly subtle and logical yet unexpected, and it perfectly captures Reigen's personality as well.
He's also not dumb as when Mob shows up he basically gives up entirely knowing that he's a totally different league.

It is?
My favorite part about this fight is that Teru figuring out Shimazaki's pattern was visually apparent. Other shows will have characters "get use" to an opponent's fighting style without any visible repetition to their movements beforehand, it doesn't feel like it was figured out on the rewatch. Shimazaki teleports behind someone 8 times before Teru catches him the 9th time, a decent amount of times to deduce a pattern during a battle, all with nice choreography.
It may seem like a small and obvious thing to do in a fight scene, but it's satisfying as hell when done right.

I dont see the pattern
@@blendyboi5023 git gud

*teleports behind you* "heh, nothing personal, kid" *starts banging his head against different objects*
It's been said a million times, but this is easily one of the most impressive fights to ever be made from a technical standpoint (at least as of recent). Clarity is maintained on Shimazaki through pov shots/dynamic camera movement and tricks us into thinking we've got a moment where things can be safe until he disappears. I don't think any other anime has been able to convey the threat of fighting somebody with teleportation abilities quite like Mob Psycho.

The fact that you can clearly see the action and what's happening is a big plus too.
Teru's arc really shines here. While previously considering himself the greatest, after being proved otherwise and realizing he was just an ordinary person he realized it was a two way street, he realizes how ordinary Shimazaki is, even if he's actually more powerful, and even if his own fake sense of safety because he's allied with the supposed strongest so he won't ever need to worry about defeat, he remains an ordinary man, who can be beaten by someone else, just like Teru did, and it happens beautifully, since after mob shows up it's Reigen the one who finishes beating him up before he flees
It's true, the theme of the whole anime seems to be "we are all ordinary"
I also love at 2:19 where we see a little bit of the season one Teru rage still present. It shows that he has changed and become a better person but he hasn’t completely changed to become a different person.

Nobody is going to remember this anime after 3-5 years. Stop with the "going down in history" bullshit.
I think the reason why I love this scene so much, is that you're focused on Shimazaki. The camera stays locked on him, causing him to keep the same position, while the world around him changes. It's a really nice change, compared to a scene like.. in X-Men 2, where it's focused on the people getting their asses kicked by Nightcrawler instead of on him in specific. The way it's animated makes it seem like Shimazaki is the protagonist of the show fighting against multiple enemies. When he's actually a bad guy.

3:46 Out of all the moments of the show, this is one of the few that stuck out to me. In the midst of getting beat down and having his perception of his invincibility shattered, rather than falter like most antagonists had done up to this point, Shimazaki shows an insane amount of composure and mindfulness that very few people possess. It's a shame we didn't get to see a lot of him as I thought he could have been an interesting character to explore in the show.
Sure the animation is cool but I feel like the one aspect that a lot of people tend to overlook about Mob Psycho was it's sound design. Rewatching the whole series with headphones made me realize that they really outdid themselves when it comes to the sound in this series.

Right!
Don't also forget the sfx
I cannot get enough of this fight, I've been watching it a lot for the past 2 years. But I recently noticed something really cool. At 2:45 when Shimazaki is on screen, surprised, the shot turns into Teru attempting to hit him, and the transition from those two shots is a teleport. The animation lets us know how Shimazaki is shocked, how Teru attempted to hit him, and how he teleported out of the way all in one second. That's incredible.
Oh wow, when you point it out like that it makes that scene even more impressive. Damn this fight really is a masterpiece
And that is the real way to make use of Teleportation.
He can just take all of them to other country or anime
@Ultimate Straight I have a hunch that his teleportation has a distance limit.
Shimazaki's aim was to have fun. Of course he didn't do that.

I love the way Teru laughs at 3:04. The VA did it perfectly. You can tell that Teru sees his naivety in Shimazaki, which leads to his next line, where he tries to teach Shimazaki that he is just a normal person just as Mob taught Teru in the high school. That laugh is great because Teru knows that there is someone much stronger than Shimazaki, and laughs in face of that.

1:23 And Teruki was right. It looks like Shimazaki teleportations were at random, but the vast majority of them were behind people who tried to attack him. 2:45. This part here practically confirms it. Teruki wasn't a menace to Shimazaki simply because he was a great tactician, but he also gave hope in a hopeless situation.
Didn't even pick up on that myself. Made me love this fight even more than I already do. Everything else is essentially rapid fire, but the shot where Terada tries to hit him with the truck clearly shows this pattern. Made me go back and pay more attention to the other scenes, and made me love the last scene with teru more. Amazing.

For me Reigans best move was the table salt punch for season 1. Its a running joke "Ay bro... Don't make get that table salt."
That's probably the best part, Teru says that Shimazaki's weakness is attacks he can't see coming or read and Reigen, a completely normal guy, just floors him, all because he couldn't see it coming
If anyone is unsure of the difference between tactics and strategy, this scene is a surprisingly helpful example of the two clashing.
Mike Hunt
I’ve always had trouble grasping the difference between the two, would you mind explaining what you mean by that? I’d greatly appreciate it! What are the differences between tactics and strategy you see in this fight?
@@fireblaze1580 I'd be happy to! The best way I've seen it explained is that tacticians focus on how things are done, whilst strategists focus on why they're done. The other way of putting it is that tacticians focus on details, whilst strategists are big picture thinkers. This difference is pretty much hardwired into you and defines how you approach fighting. Cards on the table, I'm a tactician through and through, but I'll try to explain the other side.
Teruki is the strategist here, and the pros and cons of strategic thinking are evident in the fight. A strategist considers the strengths, weaknesses, and desires of the enemies and allies involved. This is the information that fuels their decision making. What are the strengths of Teru and the group? Well, they have the numbers advantage. They have a variety of powers and they can work well as a team. Their weakness is that individually none of them can handle their opponent. What about Shimazaki's strengths and weaknesses? He's a very dangerous fighter, but he's alone. What does he want to do? Shimazaki almost certainly wants to rip through them one by one. If I took a strategically minded boxer and put him against someone he'd never seen before, his guiding principle would be "whatever he wants to do, don't let him do it." So, the strategy is to use numbers to overwhelm Shimazaki, then use teamwork to deny him a chance to recover. The "why" behind the strategy lies in the strengths, weaknesses, and intentions of all involved. Strategists don't aim to be big picture thinkers, it's just that the information they see leads to it. You can also see that they're goal oriented. A strategy is defined by the goals it sets out to achieve. They're usually very simple but effective. That sequence from 3:22 to 3:45 was always the end goal. Everything else is done with the aim of achieving it.
What lets them down (at first) is their tactics. It's all well and good to have the right goals, but you still need a way to achieve them. That's what tactics are to a strategist - how they achieve their overall goals. A strategist always needs tactics. With the initial goal being to overwhelm Shimazaki, the group tries to achieve this through pure aggression. Each of them attacking as forcefully and as much as possible, hoping to put Shima on the back foot. Unfortunately for them, Shimazaki is a good enough tactician to scupper their attempts. The tactical change happens when Teru switches from aggression to deception. He distracts Shima long enough for a teammate to hit him when he's not looking. Note that this is fulfils the initial goal of using numbers to overwhelm Shima. That's stayed the same. What's changed is the how. It's very rare to find someone who's good at both, and you can see the relative simplicity of Teruki's tactics versus his strategy.
Now we're onto my boi Shimazaki and back in my ballpark. Essentially, a tactician has no overarching goals to fulfil, nor does he worry about strengths and weaknesses. Because he thinks in a completely different way to someone like Teruki. Shima only asks how he beats whatever his opponent is doing. Remember what I said about the strategic boxer? Well, a tactical boxer goes by the creed, "whatever he's doing, do something better." Watch how Shimazaki fights in the first half. He doesn't have a plan, he's just responding to each threat as it arises. On a meta level, look at how many skills and powers he shows mastery of in the fight. That's the sign of a tactician. A fighter with really clean and fluid technique IRL is usually a tactician. Because they ask how things are done, they investigate the mechanics and underlying concepts behind techniques, which gives them detailed knowledge of how they work. This is the information they use to analyse opponents. They figure out how well he does things, and exploit whatever flaws they can see in his techniques. If there are none, a tactician will do something that beats what their enemy does. Once you know how something works, you know how to break it. You block high, I hit low. You swing wide, I hit straight. That sort of thing. That's why Teru makes a big deal out of Shima's ability to read moves, and why their first tactic of aggression doesn't work. A great tactician can figure out how to beat your moves with a glance, doing those moves hard and fast doesn't change that.
However, Teruki exploits this detail-based thinking. By being able to hold his own against Shima, then taunting him, Teru captures all of the tactician's attention. Because they're so detail based, tacticians are often completely blind to the bigger picture. In that moment, Shima forgot about everyone else involved as he tried to figure out Teru. That's when a rock hits him and he gets rekt. Then we see the real danger of tacticians. What happens when Shimazaki concentrates? He doesn't start think about the big picture. He gets EVEN MORE detail oriented, and analyses the beings around him for flaws to exploit. Then he does that Tai Lung nerve shiz and ices everyone. That's the danger of a tactician. They have such intricate knowledge of combat that they can do things you don't understand and are powerless to stop. A strategist always needs tactics, but a tactician doesn't need a strategy. The only thing that truly foils them is a bigger, badder tactician. Who appears at the very end in the form of Mob.
I know that was a lot to take in but I tried to put it as simply as possible without skipping anything vital. At its heart, strategy vs tactics is about how people see the world. That's impossible to change, and figuring out how one interacts with information is key to being effective and efficient. Thanks for reading!

Reading you brake down this fight in terms of each characters strategic vs tactical decisions was also a lot of fun and I really appreciate the effort you put into it! It really helped in clarifying that effective strategy is having the right goals and effective tactics is executing things efficiently and effectively to reach those goals.
Strategy is long term and tactics short term. Based on what you’ve told me, I would say having the ability to execute one’s goals effectively in fighting situations like this where the raw power and skill available to each side can vary a lot is far more valuable then a good plan. Their comes a point where even the most genius strategies simply can’t overcome the gap created by overwhelming skill, power, and resources. (Pretty much a Mob at ???% vs anyone type of situation) Where strategy seems to be able to shine is when everyone is on a more or less equal playing field in terms of tactics available to them.(like chess)The winner is then determined based solely on who is able to conjure the most effective plans with which they can then apply those tactics in order to reach the most desirable outcome.
Like most things context is really important, and there are situations where a reliance on tactics first will get the job done, and other situations where a good strategy is your best option. When tactics fail all you can do is hope for a better strategy. But if your tactics are effective, your “strategy” can be as simple as “win”. At least that is what I managed to gather from what you’ve written!
I’m not too sure which method I favour in general just yet. I’d probably need some time to really think about it, but in the specific context of a fight I’d probably be more of a strategy first kind of fighter. I’m not confident enough in my tactical skills to think I’ll be able to come out of a fight as safe as I’d like to without a decent strategy to compensate. But of course there usually isn’t a lot of time to think during real fights and what I would do also depends on what context the fight itself is in and what my goal is. If I’m just trying to escape as quickly as possible I may rely on my tactic of running away faster than them!
Thanks again for your help in clarifying the differences between the two, and I hope you have a nice day!
@@fireblaze1580 Everything you wrote is spot on. Thanks for taking the time to read it all, I can tell you've understood it. I think this is the most pleasant exchange I've had in a RUclips comment section! Enjoy your day!
I don’t know you two, but I love you two. What an intensive and passionate discussion you guys had. This is the kinda thing I like to see in the RUclips comments.
Aside from other parts that have been praised here, I love 2:17-2:22. The change to a dimly lit room, Shimazaki teleporting in the foreground, a flash of Teru seeing him and then immediately shifting his eyes to the pile of office furniture in the corner which, because of how it was shot, had already been established were there for just a millisecond when he flew into the building, no thoughts just throw, with the aura and sound effect appearing, and the growl of effort/frustration as we come back to the same shot of Shimazaki running towards him. It’s just so smooth.
We really need a notorious anime ceremony award on a seasonal basis. Anyone involved in such masterpiece deserves more than a standard recognition from their Studio production.
I mean it did win best animation at the 2020 anime awards

“There are people in this world with powers you can’t even fathom. You’re just an ordinary man. Even I can defeat you.” This line goes so hard 😮💨
Said a man who get beat up by truly ordinary man 😂😂
I have watched this many times but I never got tired of his teleportation.
yeah same too me those teleports are smooth af
mob psycho’s art style is very different and I didn’t really like it when I started watching the show but then it slowly started growing on me and I love it
I'm glad
Same i didn’t watch it for the longest time Bc of the art style but it’s rlly not that bad
the fact that the artsyle is simpler makes it easier for bones to draw more smooth animation
Same.
Wtf same here
前まで敵だったやつと協力するのまじ王道激アツ展開で好き
I think this scene does help a character who only appears in three episodes to have so many fanfics. The perfect animation gives him life.
Shimazaki's ability is my childhood dream come true!! I always (ever since I watched Naruto) thought that teleportation is an overpowered skill and you can do so much with it. This fight is precisely how I imagined a teleportation user to fight. I had my mouth open the entire battle out of the excitement! I can't believe this... I never thought I would see my long-awaited dream brought into existence. This means so much to me!
Imagine if Minato got this level of sakuga.
This comment is so wholesome. I love this!
just teleportation isnt an overpowered skill, imagine a body of sheldon from BBT with teleportation punching someone like cbum or ronny coleman , they wont even feel those punches no matter if using teleportation he hits them behind or face
@@rajatsinghchaudhary2946 you can easily just cheese it though if you lacked strength
teleport them away along with you or send them to a dangerous place, such as high altitudes or lava pits in volcanoes that you can easily evade and teleport away from a second later, someone strong cant really do much to escape
He’s more of a sensory-typed esper though, teleportation is just his extra quirk
Oh come on, you didn't include the best part
*SELF DEFENSE RUSH*
Like Teru said, attacks he can't detect work on him as they would on a normal human... which means Reigen essentially beat the crap out of a disabled blind man
@@bill2734 in self defense of course
@@bill2734 IDK about "normal human," maybe specifically in mind's eye that's the case. otherwise that manhole would have given him a savage haircut
Bill when he used the mind’s eye he cutted off everything except the espers from his detections that’s why he didn’t detect reigen, because he’s not an esper
@@lorenzgutierrez8356 do you really need to explain a comedy scene. what buzzkill
Naruto and Sasuke, always fighting each other even outside of their own series.
the reincarnation lore in action
Lol!
Thats ironic when sasuke had naruto's father jutsu, teleportation
Indra vs Ashura
Wait who naruto vice actor playing as?
I am a firm believer in teleportation being one of the coolest powers and this just proves it
super speed and teleport used wisely becomes very broken
This was actually a really well-choreographed fight scene. It didn't feel like everyone was just standing around and going in one by one. You had people coming in left and right while the distant fighters were attacking from afar
Check out the heroes Vs garou fight in OPM season 2. It encapsulates this perfectly. It's cause the creator of both the comics is the same guy.
@@harjotgill6162 That's both true and false. If you see ONE's comics you will notice his action scenes are always drawn out and creative. Obviously, both Studio Bones and JC Staff are responsible for the animation side of things. But the ideas came from the comics. O my reason season 1 of both OPM & Mob psycho didn't have group fight scenes is cause the comics didn't have them either.
I'm not taking credit away from bones or madhouse cause these guys are very skilled and smart enough to extend action scenes where it fits naturally in the story/scene.
@@harjotgill6162 oh yeah, I'm not denying that my guy. I'm just saying good source material breeds better animated fights.
@@GuyLogen this comment makes sense, all ur others ones didnt
@@LeviBlackerman I don't know what you're talking about
When an OP character is so well written, they become so lovable and charming and Shimazaki is a big example. Not only did Bones make his scenes freaking gorgeous, but you can also tell how much work One put to make him this walking badass handsome OP villain and I freaking love it.
Saitama and Mob are good examples too
@@dpage446 I would argue with Saitama, but yes Mob is very interesting. I was trying to point out how teleportation is unbelievably over uesd, but ONE was able to make a villain with that power extremely OP and scary to fight but also very well written that hating him is kinda impossible.
@@Kasoha4 You'll find out more if you read the manga, but Saitama is an excellent character. Even though he doesn't get that much character development, his outlook is interesting. In fact, later on, the main draw of Saitama is not how strong he is, but how he's really the only true hero in the series. Everybody else has one reason or another to do it, but Saitama ( and mumen rider too ) is the greatest hero of all time not just for his strength, but because he is actually a hero.
@@basiljohn3953 idk I'm not that fan of OPM so Saitama isn't that interesting to me, I appreciate characters like Mob more too. I don't in any shape or form hate him, I'm just not that interested 😂
*walking* badass? pfft
This has to be the greatest portray of teleportation I’ve ever seen in any film/anime
how about Shirai Kuroko?

@@mierzarizqonwafadhil8697 just watched it it’s pretty good but not as epic
@@Cliffsaint17 imo it's the best portrayal of teleportation in anime, creativity and utilisation wise. but yeah, the animation and choreography in Shimazaki's fight definetely topped
@@mierzarizqonwafadhil8697 yea exactly what I meant
The only second best (idk if second bc its a move not animation) is Jumper, tho it has a nerf on how they telentransport its still a good movie on that at least thats what i thought like 10 years ago when i watched that

Goes to show that teleportation IS better than flight
it's always better. Heck we have flight in the real world but teleportation can get you anywhere instantly, much faster than flying.
He legit has both lmao
Well if this kind of teleportation you have but if its slow or using portal then i chose flight lol
@@JV-jj5in nah still dr strange
Well yes but flight can also be cool.
I just love how the teleportation happens from his perspective. It's not him that disappears from sight, it's the world around him that shifts as he's remaining perfectly still.
This is what Bones is truly capable of, what a shame that MHA didn't came close to this quality of animation.
or is just me that imagines the adaptation of the manga with a movie quality everytime I read and watch some of the excellent work of Horikoshi
MHA never came close to the writing of mob psycho that ONE wrote.
Mob > MHA
It's because ONE is a better story teller than Horikoshi. Additionaly despite ONE not being a good illustrator he is good at panelling and storyboarding which is very helpful to animators since the mangaka sends storyboards to the studios first to guide them. Also the art style is simple so its easier to have a fluid animation as there are less complicated details.
There are three three-years between each season of Mob. There’s a new season of MHA every other spring. Perhaps if they were given more time, the anime for My Hero would look better-into its later seasons anyway. Not to say it’s incapable of great animation, which it is in S6
Pretty sure a lot of us can agree that the one of the best interactions in this fight is at 0:49.
The fact that it takes first person perspective from Sakurai just trying to find the best time to shoot, Shimazaki goes off screen and says the words "Aren't you going to shoot?" then he turns around and Shimazaki is just right behind him. It's perfect in that it shows just how focused he is on everything around him. "chef's kiss"
Bruh that little kick he does cracks me up. Man goes flying.
Same with 1:09
Where it focuses on Sakurai (? Idk his name either lol) and then it reveals instantaneously that he's on top of him instead of what we presumed.
@@toongamer2810 What we presumed was he was anywhere except standing on top of him.
This entire fight is just really, REALLY well animated and the choreography is godly.
@@lilinberce9386 Exactly. If anything I thought he would at least be grazed, or teleported away from him. But the fact that he's literally and figuratively on top within a second is insane, and I gotta agree, this fight is truly incredible
Animation, sound design, cinematography, even this fight alone can showcase how great of an anime Mob Psycho is
Everyone is saying how MP100's best quality are the animation and fight scenes, but the true quality and highlight of MP100 is its impressive way of expressing and portraying real life lessons
yeah the animation and the wisdom made this anime a top 2 for me
ending of 3rd season hit me so hard

Shimazaki has the best teleporter animation...MIND'S EYE!!!!!!
The best so far I like how the scenery changes instead of him when he teleports
Yup, it makes you feel like you're a teleporter yourself...amazing
Fuckboi can't teleport with low stamina 😰 plus he's weak asf
@@ODoyleRulez_ The only reason why we haven't had this way of animating teleportation is just because animators are lazy. They could have done this a long time ago. Its sad we are only seeing this kind of animation today.
@@Cj-hj6rm shut up nigga.
Shigeo: walks
Shimazaki: *why do I hear boss music*
Reigen: walks
Shimazaki: guess I'll die
The artistic liberties taken in this fight are why this show will go down as an all time best. Rare to see a fight almost take the villain pov because of their power
I like how you you can kinda see teruki slowly learning Shimazaki’s pattern as the scars get beat up. 1:03 he begins to react faster, 1:17 he gets pretty close to hitting him, and 2:45 is where he finally figures it all out.
Damn, that's really impressive. I don't really understand why Mob told Teru that he's nothing without his psychic powers. Teru has so many other skills as well, would clearly be popular even without psychic powers
@@alexanderkorol677 if mob didn't tell him that then i doubt he would've been able to awaken this side of his.
@@Hydereal Good point
@@alexanderkorol677 I think Mob was basically projecting in that scene, and he himself fears that he is nothing without his powers. Also, the most he knew of Teruki by that point was that he was a narcissistic jerk who liked beating people up, so
@@alexanderkorol677 what mob said humbled him he then learnt his lesson and now has become the person he is today

2:51 He almost always teleports behind his opponent, or at least out of their line of sight. You can see it throughout the fight at 0:35 , 0:51 , 1:04 , 1:09 , 1:16 , 2:05 (I may have missed some too). That's the pattern Teru picks up on. It's really subtle, but that's also what makes it so cool when Teru picks up on it.

After watching so many different anime after Mob and coming back makes me realise how amazing the animation really is.
