I'm in the autistic sphere too and the thing that really made me feel and relate to Mob was during his fight with Ekubo where he was being forced to smile like everyone else and then has this "flashback" of his crush telling him "Get a clue"
Like if that's not a whole metaphor of not understanding social cues due to how your brain works, then I don't know what it is.
facts
The whole arc is literally and figuratively masking
Autistic sphere? Where does it bend in order to become a circle and then where does it bend again into itself in order to create a sphere?
Don't tell this things to a person with ADHD, i won't be able to sleep tonight.
I'm struggling now
@@MonerLaine they probably meant spectrum, maybe English is not their first language
The existance of Mob makes me extremely happy and inspired, don't know if I'm on the spectrum or not, but the simpler things in his reactions were the ones that made me feel understood for once
His existence makes me happy and that has never happened before
Same thing man.
same.
"The existance of Mob"
I will stop you right there.
MILD MANGA/SEASON 3 SPOILERS
Omg seeing his powers as an allegory for autism hits especially hard in the finale arc where he truly faces the parts of himself that he is ashamed of like his intense emotional outbursts and destructive capabilities and learns to truly love and accept every part of himself.
I do think it's important though to mention, Autism isn't just some superpower you need to master. There will always be ugly parts, like sensory overload and meltdowns. This is something I believe they manage to portray in the show, but I don't think was mentioned in your video.
Overall though, I think you did a great job exploring the concept!
Yeah that is EXACTLY what is presented in the show through the explosions, I’d say tbh.
As an actually autistic person, I can strongly relate to Shigeo’s struggles, especially his issues regarding “get a clue”.
It pisses me off... But I thought that was normal... I... just kinda realized
No you can't, you're not a 13 year old psychic boy
@@matthampsey3268what
Mob influenced me to start looking into a diagnosis because he reminded me so much of myself. I'm so grateful to this show
How you doing?
@@helenaborgespeixoto7598 I'm autistic as hell lol. Thanks. How are you?
@@kristenyarbrough4287 I'm doing good
i'm happy for you
Me too!!! Just got my diagnosis for autism a few days ago 🎉
I was diagnosed with autism at age 25 (2 years ago) and I fucking cried when I watched Mob Psycho 100 several times, because I didn't know I had autism since birth; I was only diagnosed with ADD at around 10. But when I watched Mob, I felt... understood, I felt seen and heard... I was timid, quiet, didn't have a "group", a loner and bullied. Many people have had it worse ofc, but with Mob Psycho 100 I felt recognised and like it said to me personally "It's not your fault for being different" or rather "You're just another normal human with a different perspective and personality. Doesn't make you less human".
When Mob went into Reigen's office as a young kid to talk about his problems (before he showed his powers), I felt that speech from Reigen cut deep. I'm just different; no more, no less human.
I'm not into anime like at all; mainly One-punch man and Mob Psycho, to some degree (especially last season) Attack on Titan, and that's all. But Mob Psycho was just... well, resonating with me as an autist so much that I basically said, without hesitation "He's autistic". I don't think Autism in any media have been more wholesome and careful with the portrayal of autism. Like I love "Rainman", but it set a stereotypical standard of what autism is and caused more stigmatization and harmful views on autism as if autism was a "disease"... I'm happy Mob Psycho went the way it did and One didn't do the stereotypical stuff; he's never done what the mainstream does really.
I feel like I'm between autist and normal, I'm a weird hybrid... and I get you, also if you were diagnosed Autist at 25 then it must not be the big deal, like seriously, society makes a big deal about autism but it isn't really bad, it becomes ""bad"" because of their misunderstanding. I know how to treat "autist" people, I possess the full field of view now.
@@luis-sophus-8227 if you're "between autist and normal", you're within the autist spectrum and therefore autistic. And it can be a big deal as it can explain why and how you react and behave in situations and why you, for example, don't pick up on some social cues. And in some places in the world, having Autism diagnosed is either really good or really bad. Like here in Sweden, if I have Autism diagnosed, I get certain extra rights to help me through with the things I struggle heavily with in life; I can get an assistance who helps me with talking to authorities and interviews, to help me organise my life, depending on the severity of autism and how much it causes you to struggle through daily life.
In most places in the world, you don't get any help or benefits with it and have to continue with your daily struggles and stress, causing some autistic people to develop other things to deal with the daily life.
The keyword to Autism is "some". Some need benefits and help, some don't. Some have very obvious autistic traits, some have subtle but they're within the spectrum. Some are heavily affected by their autism, some aren't. Some autists can't really express feelings, some are too expressive. Some are confused, some are completely understanding everything in society. Some are nervous wrecks, some are stalwart. Some are obsessive in certain fields, some are good or bad in most fields. Some can work overtime, some can't even work. Like "normal" people.
It's really just in what part of the spectrum you are on and where born in. And me being double diagnosed (ADD and Autism), adds extra flavour and confusion and exhaustion. I'm lucky I'm born in Sweden, because here I can get immense help while also encouraging me to be my complete self.
@@luis-sophus-8227 being diagnosed with autism at 25 was a big deal for me, because I was always an outsider, a loner, and yet exhausted because of all the surroundings, making me unable to work full time and constantly having migraines and such.
Every. Damn. Second.
Autism diagnose was the best thing to have happened to me, as it opened up many doors and explained so much about my childhood and my current self. It helped me out of my "always depressed, tired and exhausted state" since I was 10, giving me the right meds for a time being, and now I've been without my meds for autism for over 10 months, I also took anti-depressants since the age of 16, but now, I haven't taken those in about 10 months either, and I've never been better. I may not have made any friends, unlike Mob, but I've become better for myself and those I care about.
@@luis-sophus-8227 autism is spectrum, its either ur autistic or not, there's no levels of autism unless ur referring to "support levels" or those albeist terms like high or low functioning. Also, getting a diagnosis late still helps, you finally learn something about ur yourself and it helps you accept yourself and ur differences. And to also learn better ways to cope (by using stimming toys, noise cancelling headphones etc) without feeling bad!
Shit dude your life sounds literally like mine, was diagnosed with ADD around 11, started anti-depressants at 16 and am not starting to question whether I have ASD at 21
I don't have autism but I have inattentive ADHD and I feel like I can really relate to Mob. The way he's always "in his own world" to me feels like my vivid daydreaming. His clumsiness is really relatable and his 100% power just feels like a perfect allegory for emotional dysregulation. I was always afraid of expressing myself as a child because it often happened in the form of disruptive outbursts which I was scolded for so by the time I reached Mob's age I gave off a very stoic vibe and just tried to internalize everything and avoid expressing emotions at all cost. Learning to be emotional and to express it in a controlled way is still something I'm working on and it's so nice to see Mob going through such a similar journey.
I love this. LOVE THIS. I'm on the Autism Spectrum and THIS MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF
I thank you DEEPLY DEEPLY DEEPLY for MAKING A POINT to ONLY analyze Shigeo as Autistic if he happens to portray it INOFFENSIVELY. Waaaaaayyyyy too many people are far too eager to portray us as idiotic, brain dead monkeys instead of the sensitive, incredibly intelligent, socially confused people that we truly are.
thank you! :) that was part of my goal, so i'm glad to have it shine through. and i agree! autistic representation in the media has been very grim (or, just, completely lacking) but i do think mp100 is one of the most accurate and inoffensive representations we get :,D and its just an awesome show anyways!
@@thotslayer9914 I do, but I don't know about Miss(?) Dog eat Dog here
@@dogeatdog3579 It's truly quite sad! And a little infuriating, if I might add :(
I have heard great things about MP100, but I haven't really had a solid reason to watch it! Especially since I'm not super impressed with One Punch and all...
But after watching this video, I really wanna watch it now!! I want to see for myself what makes Shigeo tick and what all his quirks and struggles and strengths are! :DD
@@thotslayer9914 Only if you're 18 or older! My username is in the description of my channel.
@@hotaruishere2133 You should respect me then I knew about mob psycho the day the first season first eps came out back in 2015 2016 can't remember I'm an og
I’ve met lots of people with autism in the internet, every single one of them have shown to be social, popular, expressive and more, so I never felt identified with the autism spectrum until I saw Mob, everything made click, I love this show, it made me feel less alone.
How can you be so sure they are actually autists though? Chances are they are lying or they aren't even sure.
@@luis-sophus-8227 well, it’s all about trust, theres no way to verify it.
I loved this video. Most people I know see Mob as Autistic but I loved seeing you break down the reasoning as to why. and I loved how it handled Serizawa's arc as well, they really help him get a second chance at life instead of just going "boom, friendship, you're good now!" they look into what happens after that and I appreciated this.
There are so many times that I related to what Mob was feeling or experiencing, a lot more personally than I’ve felt with other characters. I’m on the spectrum, and while I’m generally optimistic (and gullible, sometimes both at the same time), it feels so refreshing to see such an equally compassionate and optimistic character. By that I mean, the logic behind his compassionate and optimism makes complete sense to me, since it’s very similar to what I think and experience. I am rambling on at this point, but I would not be the same person if a character like Mob didn’t exist, this series has a special place in my heart.
this is a great analysis! i loved your nod to Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken at the beginning. Characters like Asakusa are often overlooked in neurodivergent character conversations! Your other videos, especially your most recent one about voice acting, are all incredible. You deserve a lot more attention than what your channel gets! You have a real talent for media analysis!
woah thank you so much!
this! i love asakusa!!
I personally don't think that mob was created with this exact theming in mind, but I do think that it does relate to the subject wonderfully and I can definitely see people with autism relating to Mob. I have not been diagnosed with autism, but I do relate to some aspects of it and I really love Mob Psycho because the story is so heartfelt and it's really helped me with my own emotions.
I don't think one had this allegory in mind but it doesn't mean the series can't be interpreted that way so good job.
I believe the author, ONE, is extremely shy irl too, I watched an interview with him. He's a very nice and humble guy but I can easily see him in his kid/teenage years having this sort of issues while trying to fit in society, in fact I'm almost sure Mob is his self-insert character. Autism-ADHD is a spectrum, which means nobody really shows the signs of these issues on the same level. Someone may be just more "placed" towards ADHD than autism, or just barely showing some signs in their behavior.
Only someone on the spectrum could wield blunt honesty like Mob. That's his real weapon, ESP be damned.
It’s cool that he’s portrayed in the way that shows that his emotions aren’t just, gone
It’s mainly that he has no good way of showing them
I see it shown too much that people with autism are just emotionless
But there’s so much going on in my head most of the time that I just don’t fucking know how to handle reactions
That. That’s how I think I express emotions. This is a good explanation
Thank you for this vid so much aaaa!!! When I first watched the show, when I was a bit younger, I didn't know why I identified with mob and other autistic coded characters in the show so deeply, but then rewatching it this year I realized that I've just been autistic this whole time. This vid was a really good analysis!!
same boat tbh!!! thanks for watching!
I love shigeo an mob psycho, it hits different than any other anime bc the protagonist faces his challenges and opponents thru compassion and empathy, I love that shigeo is kind, soft spoken, but gullible at times, he’s the polar opposite to most male protagonists, and he doesn’t want to be the most powerful psychic, he just wants to live a normal life and make friends and be accepted. Despite his world crushing powers, he rejects wanting to rely on his powers to get an upper hand in life. it was incredibly uplifting to see internal emotion turmoil and self acceptance be the central themes, mob psycho just resonated with me and made me feel hopeful and comforted
As somebody on tumblr put it: « the autism is central to the plot ».
Watching Mob Psycho 100 made me cry, as it motivated me to be a better brother to my moderate - severe autistic sibling.
while i dont entirely see myself as mob, (because i relate to midori from eizouken much much more) I love the aspect of him finding acceptance despite not seeing himself as "normal", it's something ive been trying to overcome for a while. You explained that really well, great video! subscribing and hoping to see stuff like this soon:)
Thank you for making this vid!! I’m neurodivergent too and always thought mob was to some degree, and I really appreciate your analysis
i appreciate your comment! nd mob fans rise!
thank you for this video! when i was watching mob psycho 100 for the first time, back in 2020, i was floored by the lol cult episode and how much it resonated with me. Before that, i was considering i could be autistic but the only representation i knew about were characters such as sheldon or the good doctor.
Seeing how Mob struggled with showing the same emotions as the crowd, and him expressing that he wanted to express emotions, but couldn't do it as the rest, and dimple telling him he wouldn't live a normal life for that... it was really impactful to see that there were people struggling with the same things as i was, and it really inspired me to see mob overcome his problems. Also love the detail of the people surrounding him, knowing he's a bit different but accepting him and not making a big fuss out of it. About six months later after watching mp100, i got my autism diagnosis so the autistic mob headcanon is really close to my heart.
yooooooo vriska serket
I love how, within the episode I watched of the show I instantly felt connected to him as an autistic character. There's something so unwaveringly neurodiverse about unwilling psychic characters
I would consider ESP powers to be an allegory for all kinds of neurodivergency not just autism. Or at least there seems to be a strong correlation between neurodivergency and ESP in MobPsycho100.
E.g. Mob could alongside his autism also be considered to have the inattentive type of ADHD, Teru could have a narcissistic personality disorder, Ritsu could have OCD or hyperactive ADHD, and so on and so forth.
I Remember watching the 1st season, when it came out and thinking that I hadn't related to a character that hard ever, the only other show that comes to mind is watamote. Then a few years later I got my diagnosis. I think it's safe to say that even if Mob wasn't written to be on the spectrum he could still be red as an autistic-coded character. Anyway I really love the show and as much as it is a cliche it really changed my world view for the better. 😌
Things that I related to in mob were the lack of facial expressions and the sometimes intense and fast changing emotions that built up, because he didn't have an outlet, which was something I expirienced and still do but I'm able to navigate it better.
I am autistic and I think it’s funny when they call themselves aspers
Because it makes me think of Aspergers
This was such a great video, I just finished mob psycho and you put so many of my thoughts into words
Thank you, thank you, I wanna thank you SO SO much for this video! I heavily relate to Mob, and even look like him in real life. The examples you gave here are wonderful examples, and made me feel better for myself as a person. I'm trying to seek out a diagnosis for my autism, and hearing that Mob is portrayed to have autism speaks wonders to me. Many characters such as Asakusa Minori, Gundham Tanaka, Shigeo Kageyama, etc. have been huge comforts for me, and no wonder I find them very relatable. Still, thank you so much for this video. I really really appreciate this so much, thank you.
This video is so great at explaining almost every point I've wanted to see covered on this topic. One thing I've always loved about mp100 is how it shows that even though mob is perceived as this quiet, emotionless kid by those around him, he is actually experiencing very strong emotions, and it learning how to express them in his own way. Love the video! Keep up the amazing work!
Great Video I really enjoyed it! The intro/hook and editing style were very entertaining. I would recommend some more energetic music throughout tho, and trying to have more inflictions in your voice!
this is such a great video essay!! i definately reflate to mob a lot- his outsideness, inner conflicts, the barrier between him and others. it's also why he's such an inspiration, with how he comes to accept himself and how his belief in the good in others never wavers... idk if i'm autistic or not, but i love mob a lot
Heya, kinda late to the party but I'd like to address my personnal experience with autism, and the fact that Mob Psycho 100 is my favorite anime. (Sorry if I make any mispells, english isn't my primary language at all x) )
So, I've discovered Mob Psycho 100 when it came out in 2016, I was 12 at the time, and it quickly became my favorite anime, because I could relate to Mob. I had very bug struggles with anything social related, my face doesn't express any emotion, I struggled to comprehend my emotions and others, but I could feel mine and thoses of others very strongly.
2 years before watching Mob Psycho 100, my teacher advised my mom to make me take IQ tests, because she suspected the reason I was getting bullied was because I was different in some sort of way. We did the first tests, they told us I had an IQ over 150, but since I was in a very bad mental state, they couldn't pin the exact numbers.
And, yeah for my whole life, even tho I knew at some point why I was different, I felt like an error, that everyone had friends, family, loves, and here I was, the kid near the tree that would just sit and wait for playground time to end.
I honestly started to feel like I wasn't needed, and I started hating on myself, but also on others. I became a jerk, because I didn't care about the consequences anymore, I just wanted to have friends and love, even if it meant manipulating others. But I lost every friends I made while being manipulative because I was obviously a very toxic person, and it's a really good thing they actually cut the ropes with me, as I changed because of it.
Now I'm 18, a few months ago I saw a therapist for the first time, and he strongly suspected autism, we saw a neuropsychologist, and yeah, turns out I am.
Another interesting thing is that a friend of mine is also autistic, and we're very close in the spectrum, the main difference being that he got diagnosed at 3, and I got diagnosed like, a few weeks ago. He didn't have to forcefully learn others feelings, he knew why he was different, he never had bullying problems because he had protection, and he never had to properly learn to talk without a monotone voice.
We almost have the same form of autism, yet we're very different just because we didn't get diagnosed at the same time.
At the end, I'm pretty happy with my life, even tho it was mostly negative things and traumas, it made who I am today, and it's nice!
And that's the first time I realise that might be why I love Mob Psycho 100 so much, because I related to Shigeo, and I still do.
To anyone who read this, have a great day!
thank you so much i didnt know how much i needed a video abt this
Your channel is gonna be huge one day! :) You make the quality content this platform needs ❤️
Really great video! I think i might have considered mob as autistic at some point. Great job!
This is awesome, thank you!!! I really like Mob's character a lot and the way you interpret characters who may have autism / who are on the spectrum is really cool and nice. And I like how Mob gradually grows into becoming himself within society ^^ he's a really positive message
I don't think he's hindered, with experiences he becomes better at living life the way that's best for him...the 'your life is your own' from mob psycho hits hard
Recently a year ago I asked myself the question of whether I was on the spectrum or not, and even though I don't know the answer yet, watching this serie was the greatest experience ever, in which I identified so much with Mob.
He is one of my top "kinnies", not only because of the way he acts clueless, but because of everything around him where I can see a reflection of an experience very similar to mine. The way he doesn't get social clues, he is naive, always in his own world or "things"... Also, most importantly, makes me inspired as some day i can push myself for doing new things, like when he enters the new club, recognice and accepts himself and his feelings, etc; because he is also a inspiration for me and so much others.
For these reasons and much more (that i could send a tremendously long text for) this show is my top comfort, and it makes me so happy, i love it! ❤
DogEatDog you did such a good job explaining your own views on autism as well as representing the community. As a fellow autistic artist and animator I want to say thank you for all your hard work and effort. If you want some help making a logo or intro for your vids please let me know.
This literally hammered into my head why I love this show so much.
You just earned yourself a sub! I love this analysis great job mate
No one cares
@@corpmobb4134 i care...
Hell yeah!! I loved this analysis too!! :D
This series is one of if not, my favorite series of all time. I really liked your point of view on this lol.
Mob's character and his possible autism reminds me about the main character from the book called "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" that I was reading many years ago. Tho the character in that book had much worse problems when interacting with the world, I believe the problems of these two characters are still quite similar.
Honestly, I don't know if I'm on the spectrum or not, but mob means so much to me . i usually find it hard to relate to characters because there's always some sort of generalization (?) or something. (mitaka from chainsaw man being an exception because I swear everything she's said I've said at once too) But anyways one thing I really relate to mob with is that he was never showed as quiet loner who hates life because he's not "normal" or gets bullied or anything of that sort, but more of a quiet loner who just seems like a background character, who wishes he could just be and do more. and that's exactly how I feel.
So THAT’S why I kin and love Mob so much
No, Mob is not significantly hindered, he’s growing up and dealing with/overcoming/assimilating/navigating his differences. He will always have some kind of internal struggling bc it’s his nature, but otherwise, he’s constantly improving.
I think that’s an excellent video essay - thought you were an old pro. I was just thinking, as I was listening to you, that it’s so cool that your generation has a productive outlet for intellectualism and creativity - rather than doodling about boys in your journal, as we did 😉
Awesome video! 6:44 To answer the question, being honest can't relate much to Mob, because he's basically a God (if he choose to). But I think Mob inspires me to be a better human being, to help out those less fortunate and not exploit others for instant gratification.
For me, Tome is my favorite character and one I relate to most! She may/may not be autistic but I find her generally being a social outcast, not a "smart" student and a slacker but still has passion for obscure things and is really energetic like myself. She doesn't have any talents/gifts and can be socially awkward yet still expresses and chases her passions however far they may seem to her (this moreso is shown in the spinoff).
the way that the other characters think of shigeo and his struggle with that hits so close to home. shigeo doesnt like his powers. but reigen, ritsu, dimple, teru, tome, mezato; everyone thinks he is gifted and special for it and they cant understand why he doesnt feel the same. but they also subsequently think he lacks the ability to socialize and that its just something he cant do.
shigeo has to prove to everyone (and himself) that he is not less than, or more than, but that he is just as capable. and that makes so much sense to me as an autistic person
Just wanting to be normal is very relatable
THIS VIDEO IS REALLY GOOD!
Great video!
Great video! I always saw Mob as also having dissociative identity disorder. I hope you can make more Mob Psycho analyses in the future!
wow! i never would have thought of that! i'm not well-informed on DID, but my first response to that would be that the mogami arc might be pretty evident of something like that as well, since it explores many of mob's internal emotions. i'll keep that in mind on my next rewatch! thanks for watching! :)
You’re welcome! I mostly see mob and ???% as two different personalities or “alters” inside of one body. People with DID usually develop it after a traumatic childhood experience. In Mob’s case, after the confrontation he and Ritsu had with the bullies. Also, some alters are “protective” and only show themselves when the body and mind is in danger, just like ???% appears whenever mob is unconscious and in danger. It is also really important for people who have DID to accept their different alters, something Mob has yet to learn. I don’t wanna spoil the manga but with everything that happens at the end, all of this makes even much more sense. Sorry for the long answer and the incorrect grammar, english is not my first language.
@@_miru_2212 I think ???% is more likely meant to be the Jungian shadow, and the manga stuff you're alluding to being something like shadow integration.
@@JayAreAitch THIS. i actually wrote a long-form essay on ???% being mob's jungian shadow last year after seeing the series...
@@_miru_2212 though it's also entirely possible to read ???% as an alter, i feel shigeo at story's end is not two people in one body who switch places from time to time and just learn to live with each other (and with 'blacking out', 'losing time', etc.), but one person who's made peace with everything about himself that he refused to acknowledge, 'good' and 'bad'. he fully integrates these parts of himself -- the internal conversation he has with his powers/???% actually involves both of them accepting each other, holding hands and uniting as one being.
i know people with DID, and the healing process never seems to involve not having alters ever again, which is unrealistic -- it's heavily implied in MP100 that shigeo's discarding the shame that led him to repress himself also removed his need to split any part of himself off, too.
Howdy. As an autistic person with MP100 as a special interest, and who has learned a lot from the series-- I do think that Mob having his weaknesses and overcoming them, while not relying on his "gift" for gratification is VERY good-- it's a core message of the series- up there with self-acceptance/love. It is good that he is hindered.
Also, even though the author has said in interview that he did not intentionally write Mob as autistic, and the unique psychological tendencies Mob experiences are explained through the story, it remains true that my I autistic friends and I can relate to the lived experience of Mob (no matter the cause).
As a non native English speaker, I didn't understood like the 60% of the video, but I agree
I would love a follow up now that season 3 is out
Nice video, I really like this anime for some reason lol
i dont care if mob is autistic or not, he's our baby boy and that's not changing
As an autistic person, mp100 made me feel so seen. It’s pretty rare that a character is that relatable to me and it’s just lovely to see someone like me in a show
Love the video!
This video means the world to me
Great video!
Hi Tom
Imo Mob is the high functioning type, he can take care of himself on basic level, he has very tight routines like the morning routine shown so often, at first glance it may seem like everything is quite fine with him, and ofc so many other things like not understanding social interactions too well etc. But imo this is not smth he's born with but it was caused by the trauma. So he can get better and be completely fine. Also, no manga spoilers :) some people will be really surprised by how straight-forward the answers are...
I don't think we use those functioning labels much now. Like, in the autism community. It's bad imo because autism itself can't be defined by low or high functioning. I'm autistic btw.
u made me wanna watch this show again
Mob psycho 100 is underrated and vids that people post of it
As someone with asperger mob is kinda relatable to me
i love your videos
he js like me fr
As a guy who is diagonesd with autism (and got the diagnosis only recently) i felt a deep understanding and connection to mobs character and the way his powers work
Great video :)
I’d say that Psychic powers are literally one’s intensity of emotion and conviction. Autistic people (like me 😜) have very intense emotions and convictions, but can have difficulty with managing them. This shows in Mob, who has feats of strength far beyond his peers but literally passes out when he builds up too much energy
I dont agree with you, but you made good points and Im about to rewatch it again thanks to this!
I'm starting to question if I'm autistic or not... Damn IM WEIRD
I will support your channel :)
Funnily, most of my fav animes have a seemingly neurodivergent main character; Mob (autism), Saiki (dito), Gon (adhd) (from Hxh), perhaps Senku (from dr. Stone) (not sure, perhaps! autism as well), L/Near (autism), ok honestly I m the surest(??) with the first 3
yo great video
Ans: yes.
yeah, basically
talented
Well you convinced me, to watch it
Really cool video
As an autistic person myself, I've ALWAYS had the thought that psychic powers were a metaphor for autism or disorders in general, and by psychic powers I mean ALL psychic powers
best animeeeee >.>
As someone on the autism spectrum, I always thought Mob would also qualify as autistic. I think the series was an major influence on me, and I’m glad it was
i really liked it
mob being autistic is making me realize what traits of mine are autism not just me being weird this is strange
I haven't seen the ideo yet, but I'm sure he is ✨
as an autistic guy myself, mob is so relatable and he makes me so happy and it makes me so happy his character is so beloved.
i like this
As someone who is autistic i love this video and i also think that deku from my hero academia is another good example of a neurodivergent character
I love mob even more after watching this
SEASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEASON 3 BABY!!!!!!!!!!
Can you put a flash warning in the title please?
0:32 Does anyone know where the left panel’s from
its an omake from one of the later chapters of the manga I think. The joke is basically what a ghost piggyback looks to people who can't see ghosts
i mean i dont think shigeos autism is portrayed in like metaphors but this video is great
Whether he is or not, I don't particularly care either way, he's still an amazingly written character!
who is the face in the thumbnail and why does it look like a mix of xidnaf and incredibox guy
Good ol' Mob drawn by One
YOH!!! I LOVE INCREDIBOX!!!
Considering there’s a huge reason why he seen as autistic I’d say he isn’t. It’s just my opinion so don’t attack me, but mob stuffing his emotions in a box is a product of his power being unstable and and hurting ritsu. He was “normal” before that incident. His 100% countdown is another product of hiding his emotions away, because what happens irl when you try stuffing 1 or more emotions away? It’s breaks out and overflows. He’s definitely going to seem autistic or Neurodivergent because well, he lacks basic emotions to help him, that’s why throughout the show we see him getting better and more or less “normal” like he used to be? Once he accepts himself, his power, his emotions, even his friends, he gets better. So yes I wouldn’t consider mob autistic, I heavily believe he’s just an overpowered esper who hid his feelings away until they started causing issues for him. Also ofc the power system in the show is going to be heavily reliant on emotions, every power system involves emotion, and that’s not an exaggeration, hell even ritsu gets his power from his emotion. So Im conclusion, mob is just socially weird and awkward with a need to accept a lot of things as they are, not autistic. I’ve watched this show more times than I can count and each times and it’s an all time fav for me, things become easier when you realize mob has always been “weird” or “socially awkward”.
not expression emotions and letting them build up is virtually the same as an autistic person masking for to long and having a meltdown. Obviously the show never explicitly states if he's autistic, so nothing in the show is confirmed to be an autistic trait or not, that's what symbolism and metaphors are for. At the end of the day, it could go either way. But its great that so many people can relate to him regardless.
Also he doesn't change to become "normal" and thats important to note, he learns better ways to cope with his emotions, like someone might learn to cope with autism. He's still awkward, bad at reading social cues, and doesn't express himself (as much) as everyone else.
Not gonna lie, mob made me actually consider my cluster b diagnosis
Specifically for aspd&npd
(At the time I thought it was BPD)
I relate with mob and teru in a kind of way haha
This show honestly helped me not be so fucking cynical
reigen is a con man 💀✨
It's a hinderence if he makes it one.
In what chapter Mob is dancing with his monkey shirt? Lol
it's an Omake, he's showing Tome what riding on a spirit is like
@@hannarekhavi3478 link please?
no hes not, the show literally says because of his powers all of his emotions are locked away, but he is slowly learning how to be normal without going 100%
he told me hes autistic fym hes not
