suzuki doesn't actually use his fists to knock the prisoners out in the anime. he punches them with his mind instead.


Mob lies sprawled, unmoving, in the middle of the intersection, his life force spilling out under the swiftly darkening sky. Panicking, the hapless driver who put him there calls for an ambulance... but the phone lines seem to be out? With no warning, the asphalt craters in under Mob; it buckles, heaves, then explodes upward.

Tremors that refuse to let up snarl traffic for miles around, triggering landslides, bursting subterranean pipelines, felling telephone poles and ''buildings''... An immediate evacuation order on the news now: Serizawa and Reigen watch as the pandemonium unfolds on TV, the Spirits and Such office trembling in uneasy resonance around them. Wasn't today supposed to be the day Mob finally asked Tsubomi out...? They eventually elect to close up shop for the day; a wise decision.

In his shock, a policeman's legs buckle under him as he sinks to the street... or what remains of it: a caved-in trench of earth leading into a nearby forest. The brave man's report back to headquarters--of the fresh hell that just walked past him--will, sadly, only be met with static.

Cut to Sakurai lecturing Koyama on proper stock rotation practices; the two former Claw Scar echelon members' convenience store just so happens to sit squarely in ???%'s path. Just as they spy him approaching and gear up to defend their workplace... We see Tōichirō Suzuki, sat among other overpowered criminals on a prison transport plane, as Joseph the enforcer explains their situation.

Nearby streets buckle and collapse in turn, bursting pipes, toppling passersby, and frustrating drivers in suddenly-stalled traffic.

Panicking, the hapless driver who put him there calls for an ambulance... but the phone lines seem to be out? With no warning, the asphalt craters in under Mob; it buckles, heaves, then explodes upward.

Wasn't today supposed to be the day Mob finally asked Tsubomi out...? They eventually elect to close up shop for the day. A wise decision.

In his shock, a policeman's legs buckle under him as he sinks to the street... or what remains of it: a caved-in trench of earth leading into a nearby forest. The brave man's report back to headquarters--of the fresh hell that just walked past him--will, sadly, only be met with static.

But how do you talk down an earthquake? A landslide? ''You don't.''

While Teru's considerable strength can't hold up against the boy forever, he saves many lives in the process--and shakes something loose inside this walking unnatural disaster. ???% presses on inexorably towards Tsubomi, his continuing advance a silent shrug.

* AdaptationDeviation:
** [[BadassNormal The policeman sinking to the pavement is shown to have directly intercepted ???% for questioning]] in the manga... after being briefed on the danger the child had already caused. We do see the direct results of his confrontation on-screen, however.
** Teru slides off the side of the apartment complex onto the roof of a parked car, crushing it. In the anime, the boy's cushion is a set of trash receptacles ''that maintains its shape'' after his impact.
** Teru [[CooldownHug simply wraps his scarf around his friend]] to halt his progress in the source material. In both tellings of this story, ???% just evaporates the scarf.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: ???% demonstrates this capability by shattering Teru's barriers at least three times during their fight.
* CallBack:
** [[{{Technopath}} Hatori]], formerly of Claw's Ultimate 5, pilots the prison transport plane Suzuki jumps from.
** Teru recalls Mob weeping, alone, on the Black Vinegar Middle School grounds while piecing the school back together. He wonders aloud whether Mob is crying now inside the relentless figure demolishing Seasoning City; the child is indeed doing so.
** ???% strips Teru of his clothes and his hair yet again, as in their very first meeting. This time, Teru keeps his dignity: he risks his own life to stop his friend and saves dozens of additional lives.
* {{Determinator}}:
** Teru. Out of love for his friend, the boy nearly gives up his life to stop ???%'s destructive rampage. He refuses to back down either in fighting him off or trying to get through to him, only relenting when he proves too weak to continue. He's still strong enough to enclose all the endangered apartment residents in separate barriers and keep them afloat out of ???%'s path ''even after losing consciousness'', however.
** ???% himself. He will not be shaken from his objective: Mob's arranged meeting with Tsubomi.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: The first glimpse we get of ???% is his feet mid-stride, the rest of him enveloped in darkness.
