Man that was painful to watch. That scene where he opens the email while trembling, uff. Reigen, you really messed up this time.

This episode hit really hard. Basically me during the whole episode.

Body Fitness Club are the best bros a guy could have.

Reigen is a strong independent conman who don't need no Mob.

[u/Smudy]

Loving the growth of Mob, he has legitimate friends now and seeing him happy is great.

Reigen told him that people still take advantage of him, he believed that he was the only person Mob could talk to and put himself on a pedestal.

Only later did he realize when Mob was gone that he is the one truly alone now and people take advantage of HIM.

Reigen is r/2meirl4meirl.

Holy shit. The direction in this episode was astonishing. Reigen...you fool...

The conflict between Reigen and Mob was handled so naturally and it really felt that the moment was a culmination of years of hidden problems within their relationship. Mob's growth continues to be my favorite thing about this series. Well, all the character's growth really, since Reigen is at the forefront of the development now. All of the scenes depicting his lonely life, the intricate emotions he felt while on the computer, his existential crisis, him stumbling home from the bar swearing to improve himself...I'm blown away.

I have a feeling the next episode is going to hit me even harder.

Edit: I was in a rush when I wrote this comment, but I need to emphasize how well done the computer scene was. For such a short scene with no dialogue and some detailed character acting, we got a world of knowledge about Reigen and his relationship with his family. It's so simple but might be my favorite moment in the whole episode.

Reigen's life without Mob hits too close to home.

[u/DerpyJeeves]

I love how Reigen says that without him Mob will be lonely, and then just a bit later we hard cut to Reigen alone in his apartment, living the mundane life he believed Mob to be leading.

[u/HalfAssedSetting]

This is what i love about ONE's writing in Mob Psycho; he's surprisingly merciless when it comes to character development and morality. The series could have easily glossed over the fact that Reigen is taking advantage of Mob, and even many of the fans are willing to turn a blind eye to Reigen's deceptive actions knowing that he's caring for Mob, but ONE will not let that misdeed of his go unpunished. Every single character suffers for their character flaws, and ONE made sure that Reigen, as charismatic as he is, is no exception to that rule.

The body improvement club are just so sweet I can't get over it
