The third season of Mob Psycho 100 is scheduled to air from October 2022! The story is full of gags and battles as the main character, Kageyama Shigeo (Mob), grows while getting caught up in various troubles, despite having super-powerful psychic powers. The story revolves around his master Reigen Arataka and the Spirit Consultation Center run by Reigen, and is almost at the center of the story. We've put together all you need to know about the Spirit Consultation Center, which provides consultations on spirits and the like!
The part-time job of the main character Mob, Reigen Arataka's "Spirits and such consultation office"
The consultation office is run by the main character's master, or rather the other main character, Reigen Arataka, and is a place to consult about problems with spirits and such. Although it advertises itself as such, it basically forces clients to blame requests that have nothing to do with spirits on them with a smooth talk, convincing them, which is close to fraud, but the prices are reasonable and the client is satisfied with the service, so the satisfaction level from the clients is high. Or rather, it can be said to be risk management because Reigen himself is aware that he is doing something that is almost like a scam.
Sometimes he exorcises real spirits
Reigen is just good at talking, but he has no supernatural or psychic powers. Therefore, he has no power to do anything about spirits, but occasionally he receives requests involving real spirits. Of course, Reigen has no power to do anything about spirits, so in those cases he calls Mob to solve the case.
People who work at a spiritual counseling center
Reigen Arataka
A self-proclaimed psychic who runs a spiritual counseling center. He is a self-proclaimed psychic, and in reality he has no abilities. He is like a conman who sells spiritual powers, but apart from his spiritual powers, he has very high human abilities, is eloquent, considerate, and proactive, so he is rarely resented by clients. He is Mob's master, but as mentioned above, he does not have psychic powers, so he uses Mob when he requests things, but he gives Mob accurate advice as a psychic (even though he is not a psychic), gives him advice about life, and takes the brunt of the criticism when it comes to it, so in that sense he is a great master.
Kageyama Shigeo (Mob)
The protagonist of this work. He looks like a mob character and is not good at sports or studying, but he is a junior high school student who has super strong psychic powers. He is employed as a part-timer at an agency, earning 300 yen per hour. He believes Reigen to be a real psychic and visits the Spirit Consultation Center, which leads to him being hired as a part-timer. When real evil spirits appear, he is called by Reigen to exorcise them.
Katsuya Serizawa
Among the psychic group "Tsume" that plans to conquer the world, he is one of the most powerful psychics known as the Five Supers. He was the strongest psychic among them. When he was unable to fit into society due to his powerful psychic powers and became a recluse, he was discovered by Suzuki, the leader of "Tsume". He was originally a good person, and after the destruction of the Tsume, he was scouted by Reigen and started working at the Spirit Consultation Center. After returning to society, he resumes compulsory education and becomes a reliable person.
Kurada Tome
He is the head of the brainwave club at Mob's Shio Junior High School. He was initially active with the goal of finding telepathists and communicating with aliens. After graduating from junior high school, he planned to quit the occult, but he ended up working part-time at a spiritual counseling center.
The Background of the Establishment of the Spirit Consultation Office
The Spirit Consultation Office was started by Reigen Arataka, who was working in a company, but was tired of his unchanging daily life and quit his job. He rented an office on impulse and was wondering what to do with it when he came across an article about psychic sales in a magazine. However, Reigen's daily life continued to be unchanging, and he was thinking of quitting psychic sales when Mob, a real psychic, came to him for advice.
What is the business of the Spirit Consultation Office?! Reigen can do anything except spirit-related
Most of the work at the Spirit Consultation Center is consulting clients about their problems. Although clients want to blame it on spirits, most of the time it's just a needless worry that has nothing to do with spirits. In particular, there are a lot of requests for people who feel heavy because of spirits, and Reigen works day and night to hone his massage skills and satisfy his clients in order to meet their needs. He also does things like exorcising spirit photos (removing them with Photoshop) and giving accurate advice on love troubles.
Is the Spirit Consultation Center in danger of closing down!?
The spirit counseling center is in danger of going out of business because Mob has stopped coming. As a person, Reigen was a good teacher for Mob, but Mob gradually changes through his activities in the Body Modification Club, his interactions with the Brainstem Radio Wave Club, and various other events and encounters, and he begins to want to do what he wants. Wanting to break free from the situation of being told to do whatever his teacher tells him to do, Mob decides to distance himself from Reigen for the time being. Reigen now has to run the counseling center without Mob.
The Consultation Office Without Mob
Recently, they've been relying on Mob... or rather, they couldn't function without him, but with Mob distancing himself from them, Reigen thought he would fall into a downward spiral like in a refreshing story, but with Mob gone, he took another look at himself and devoted himself to his work more than ever, making full use of his abilities and boosting the office to the point of appearing on television.
The biggest crisis for the Spirit Consultation Office! ?
Reigen and Reigen Arataka once faced their biggest crisis. That was when Reigen Arataka appeared on television and was exposed as a fake psychic. The TV appearance itself was a trap to trap Reigen in the first place, and he fell for it, his fraud was exposed, and he was met with fierce criticism from the public. However, Reigen sent a message of thanks to Mob on national television, and when Mob saw it, he had a psychic power at the venue, and all of Reigen's fraud was left unsolved.
