Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 – Episode 006 opens with Mob recalling his experiences both buying and being ridiculed for his monkey shirt, Mob releases all his remaining psychic energy. Dimple is both surprised and insulted by this action. How dare Mob abandon his powers when facing him, a “tough enemy of unprecedented strength.” Suddenly, Mob starts talking. He tells Dimple that they would only be able to talk if he doesn’t have powers. Surprisingly he tells Dimple that he “knew he could trust him.” Dimple is rude but that’s because he’s so honest. He told Mob the truth of the monkey shirt or at least what Dimple thinks of the shirt.
Dimple tries to convince Mob that he’s “dangerous.” However, Mob thinks Dimple just “got carried away.” For Mob they’re similar. Mob got too conceited when he thought girls were looking at him. He apologizes for ignoring Dimple and being so rude. Mob realized that Dimple didn’t need him to take over the Divine Tree but asked him to join him anyway. He thanks Dimple for trusting him. Dimple is “creeped” out by Mob’s demeanor. Dimple notes that Mob had acknowledged him and influenced him. Mob is “selfless,” and as a result Dimple was losing his selfishness.
That means I would lose my reason to exist
What is Dimple without his ambition? Anyway, Dimple gives up on his Godhood and followers. They bore him anyway. Mob collapses but Dimple carries him on his back. They still have a problem. What do they do with the Divine Tree? Before they can decide Mob passes out and the Divine Tree gains sentience. It takes the creepy Mob form and tries to take Mob for nourishment. The Divine Tree attacks Mob, but Dimple interferes. He tries hard but he’s being swarmed by fake Mob’s while having his energy being drained.
This episode is a high octane affair, full of bright colors, and explosions. However, the goal of this episode is to send the message that Mob is impressive because he can control himself (mostly) despite having so much power. Dimple specifically makes this point. Dimple wakes Mob up. His Golden body was broken, missing pieces of his arm and legs. However, from Mob’s perspective Dimple looked like his normal green ghost form. It’s not too clear but the feeling I got was Dimple died. If true, it was a remarkable end for an anti-hero. Dimple was made better by his friendship with Mob. That’s Mob’s real power.
