This is another Over-powered Character story, but with a Catch that it is not. Mob Psycho 100 is a story of a middle school kid who is insanely powerful because of his psychic powers. But he doesn’t want these powers to because he can’t catch his crush because of this. The writer of the series is the same who wrote “One-Punch Man “, ONE’.
Shigeo Kageyama, popularly known as Mob, is a very normal-looking teenage kid. Besides his psychic powers, Kageyama is just a short guy with a normal body, grades, and physical activity. He was born with psychic powers and as he grew up his powers became stronger. And, Which is why Mob doesn’t wish to have these powers cause he sometimes is unable to control this.
So, These feats were just of the main protagonist now let’s jump into some of the strongest characters this show offers.
10. Dimple
Dimple is an Evil Spirit who once was in human form, but after Shigeo defeated him, he took the form of cloud-like smoke. His face has eyes, nose, and mouth with two big red dots on cheeks and he can sometimes grow hands and legs in some circumstances. Before Kageyama defeated him, he made his religion and declared himself as a god. He sometimes still tries to be one.
Dimple is no doubt one of the insanely powerful characters from the show. His abilities include Smokescreen, Transformation, Wraither Beam, Overrun Wraither Beam and the most lethal of them is Possession & Hypnosis. Besides these, he also possesses regenerative abilities to some stance. Because Shigeo is his opponent, we got to see most of his attacks during one battle and some later in the show.
His most powerful ability although is possession & hypnosis abilities and with this property, he can possess Humans. He is recognizable when he possesses someone because the red dots on his cheeks also grows on the thing he possesses. He can use the possessed body to its fullest potential because of the many different fights he has fought. With his Hypnosis power, he controlled a big crowd to worship him before he came face to face with Kageyama.
9. Ritsu Kageyama
Yes, as the name says this character is someone close to Shigeo, in simple words, Ritsu Kageyama is the younger brother of Shigeo Kageyama. Unlike his brother, Ritsu wasn’t born with any powers. He is good at everything in school which he is always admired for, by his brother. But he has an inferiority complex towards Shigeo as he too wants some psychic powers. One more thing to mention, about his appearance, is that you may find it similar to that of a character named Suiryu from the author’s other work, One-Punch Man.
As stated above Ritsu didn’t have power from start, so how is he stronger than a human possessing Evil Spirit? Ok then let me tell you that Ritsu did have these powers but they weren’t strong enough to even lift a spoon. However one-day Dimple sensed that power and presented an offer to him. The offer was that Ritsu would allow Dimple to take over his body and in return, his powers would amplify.
But even Dimple didn’t see it coming as Ritsu’s power amplified so fast that he no longer needed Dimple for it. In other words, Ritsu can’t be possessed. Ritsu’s main power is Telekinesis.
8. Teruki Hanazawa
The Character of Teruki Hanazawa, nicknamed Teru, was presented as typical Fuckboi and antagonist of the series. He used his power to show his superiority against bullies and normal people. Until one day, he came to meet Mob and he changed. I mean, who isn’t gonna change from a person who can have you a painless death.
Well, to be blunt about this, then it is not so his fault to be like this as he had no idea that espers like him or more powerful than him existed at all. He also got offers from The Claw organization to join. Although after tasting defeat from Shigeo, he learned to control himself from using his powers for bad purposes. And not to forget, he became best friends with Mob even though he still treats him as his rival.
About Teru’s Powers then he possesses Air Whips, Telekinesis, Telekinetic Explosions, and Pyrokinesis. He mainly relied on his Telekinetic power when fighting with Mob but we got to see other powers in the situation ahead as well.
7. Toshiki Minegishi
Member of Ultimate 5, Toshiki Minegishi is one hell of a powerful esper. He may not look like one, I mean he just slaps plants but he is powerful. He too, as usual, was a bad guy but after some confrontation, with good characters, he became one too. You will see more of him in Season 3 of the anime.
Toshiki’s main ability is Cholrokinesis. With this power, he can grow plants even on the well-constructed road. He uses these plants to suck power or say life out of anything he wants. Toshiki was introduced during the World Domination Arc. The anime still hasn’t shown any history about him. He decided to change the sides on the battlefield after he encountered Sho’s group.
6. Sho Suzuki
Sho Suzuki is the son of the leader of The Claw Organization. In the first season of the show, he was presented to us as an antagonist character being set up for season 2. But that escalated quickly, what he was trying to do is was an alliance to stop his father from claiming and destroying the world. This character like other is insanely powerful too and possess some good abilities.
To get Mob as his alliance he showed up Mob’s house and burned it to get Mob all fired up. Despite being a teenager he has a good sense of how to handle things and whom to let them handle. Sho’s abilities include Psychic Energy Bombs, Light distortion, Telekinesis, and Psychic Negation.
His Psychic Negation ability is yet to be fully shown in the show. He can store Energy which he later uses as Energy Bombs. The Light distortion ability allows him to be invisible.
5. Ryo Shimazaki
Ryo Shimazaki is one of the most interesting characters of this show. And yes one of the main reasons behind it is of course is his powers. He was a former member of Ultimate 5 and now is a major part of The Claw. He took on Sho’s formed alliance like he was playing with toys, although Sho wasn’t there.
Ryo possesses some very powerful abilities such as Teleportation, ESP, and Super Sensory Zone “Mind’s Eye”. His ESP is very on point as he can even predict the movements of some of his opponents. After some minutes of the fight with Sho’s alliance, he was able to concentrate at a level that he was able to use Mind’s Eye. With the help of this, he can see everything and everything in the sense Everything just Reigen Sensei is an Exception.
4. Katsuya Serizawa
Katsuya Serizawa was the most powerful Esper from Ultimate 5. He is said to be powerful enough to catch an attack of 3% from Sho’s Father. He was picked himself to Toichiro in his struggling days. Before Mob defeated him he was like a devotee to Toichiro who can give his life to him.
He isn’t an Evil guy or something. Suzuki used him as a weapon when Katsuya was struggling in his early days of controlling his powers. His attack or ability mainly includes Psychokinesis which he uses through an Umbrella given to him by Suzuki as an Extention to his closed room.
He channels his esper energy through his Umbrella which he can use both as offense and Defence. He can also shoot some Energy weapon thing by conservating the energy at Umbrella’s tip. Katsuya was handled by Mob as Mob used Talk-no-Jutsu to handle the situation. He later got a job at “Spirits and Such Consultation Office”.
3. Keiji Mogami
Keiji Mogami is the Second Evil Spirit in this list who was once famous as “The Greatest Psychic of the 20th Century”. In other words, he is the strongest Spirit of all time. He is so powerful that even Mob had to take help from Dimple. If it wasn’t for Dimple’s help Keiji might have taken over Mob’s Body.
He was first introduced to us in season three when he possessed the body of a very rich businessman’s Daughter. His fight with Mob took place in his consciousness where he also showed Mob his journey up until then.
Mogami is a very skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant. Some of his Absurd abilities include Evil Spirit Control, Life Force Absorption, Poltergeist Phenomenon, Possession, Chlorokinesis, and Mental Mindscape.
Similar to Dimple, Keiji can also possess someone and use his other powers while controlling that body. His Poltergeist Phenomenon is nothing but weak telekinesis which he acquired after becoming a Spirit. As stated above Mob too was having a tough time fighting him. That was because of his Mental Mindscape Power. He can create a Mental World where everyone is at his will. He made Mob a normal powerless kid when Mob entered his Mental World to fight.
After being released from Matsuo’s container, Mogami used his Life Force Absorption Power to draw the life force out of Claw’s artificial Espers. After returning he was able to control the plants created by Minegishi and used them to create a body for himself.
2. Touichirou Suzuki
It is without a doubt that Toichiro Suzuki is the most absurdly powerful character besides Mob. He Even surpasses Mob in some factors. If it wasn’t for Broccoli-Kun Mob would have died. Toichiro Suzuki is the main antagonist of the 2 seasons. He is the head of The Claw terrorist organization.
His abilities are one of the Absurdest on the list. He has Gravity Manipulation, Elemental Powers, Ethereal Cloning, Automatic Barrier, Shockwave, Explosion Inducement. He also possesses Pyshic Energy Projection, Telekinesis, Psychic Energy Absorption and Transference, Power Output Control, and lastly Psychic Energy Storage.
Since we saw him fighting him only in season 2 so most of his powers were revealed during the battle. He stopped Sho with his Elemental powers. When Reigen attacked him he made a clone of himself with Ethereal Cloning power. He established the Ultimate 5 as his Energy reservoir. He used this power of Absorption and Transference to create Artificial Espers. Later in the show, we got to see his other powers during his battle with Mob.
1. Mob
Shigeo Kageyama or famously known as Mob is the Main Protagonist of this Series. With his appearance, he is nothing but a very very normal middle school kid with his academic scores being average than him. Well, he is all that Until the madness meter progresses towards 100.
Mob is one kind of a guy who never wants to his powers until it’s very very important and in some cases if he has some work from his Master. Because of his power he was never able to ask his crush out. At many points in the show, he refused to go full power unless it came to his death.
Shigeo’s abilities include Telekinesis, Psychic Energy Absorption, Psychic Energy Transference, Chlorokinesis, Spiritual Awareness, and Astral Projection. Telekinesis is basic power he uses from time to time. His Psychic Energy Absorption ability allows him to absorb Emotions too. He can also transfer energy from himself to other things, which in the case of Plants becomes Chlorokinesis.
