History Recap / MobPsycho100S3E3GettingCarriedAway

* WhamEpisode: This is the first episode where we see Mob hit 100% and get sense of why he actually behaves the way he does, drastically changing how we saw him up until now.

* VocalDissonance: Mob's voice usually changes in the original Japanese during his explosions, but the vocal shifts all sound like unforced extrapolations of his speaking voice, no matter how unsettling they might be. His 100% Cockiness/Full-of-Himself voice, however, resembles that of a boy trying desperately to sound much older and cooler than he actually is. Dimple lampshades the [[HilarityEnsues ensuing cringe]].

* VillainsNeverLie: Mob is convinced that he's being watched and ''admired'' by girls while walking with Ritsu and Teru; as both boys take their own popularity (and hotness) for granted, they aren't able to help Mob make sense of what's happening to him. Teru is [[CrushFilter already quite enamored of Mob]] and thus ''biased''. Even Reigen gets too swept away in what fame for Mob would mean for his business to cut the boy a reality check. [[TokenEvilTeammate Dimple]], alone out of all Mob's loved ones, is the only one to tell him the truth about his supposed popularity; [[BrutalHonesty he does so with characteristic blunt charm]].
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Tsubomi's 'friends' seem nearly as bad as Emi's from last season's first episode, in that she's clearly not comfortable around them ''and'' is terrified they'll seize any opportunity to humiliate her.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Reconstructed; after Mob spent the last two seasons being mercilessly compared to Ritsu [[{{Unfavorite}} and found wanting]], Mrs Kageyama is all too happy to see her oldest child perhaps becoming more ''[[IJustWantToBeNormal normal]]'' when she announces that a girl is on the phone for him.

* MeaningfulEcho: Ritsu's tearful pride in his brother's newfound popularity directly recalls Mob's pride in Ritsu's finally attaining psychic powers in the first season. Both boys congratulate the other on achieving something they'd always wanted.

* AdaptationalUgliness: Tsubomi's [[WithFriendsLikeThese friends]] are not unattractive compared to her in the manga, but the anime adaptation makes them both homely and older-looking for some reason.

* VocalDissonance: Mob's voice usually changes in the original Japanese during his explosions, but the vocal shifts all sound like unforced extrapolations of his speaking voice, no matter how unsettling they might be. At 100% Cockiness/Full-of-Himself, however, the change in his voice resembles that of a boy trying desperately to sound much older and cooler than he actually is. Dimple lampshades the [[HilarityEnsues ensuing cringe]].

Tsubomi's friends gossip idly as they sweep up fallen leaves outside Salt Middle School. Right after passing on their karaoke invite for that evening, she sneezes. And it's in Technicolor. Mortified, she covers the evidence with her hand, but their inquiring minds absolutely must know what she's hiding and refuse to drop it. She begins to spiral. ''These girls gleefully capturing her snotty face on camera. Her disgraced visage going viral. The torment of endless ridicule...'' Mob's disembodied voice calls out to the two, bringing Tsubomi's runaway train of thought to a halt: Their teacher is looking for them. With the other girls gone, Mob offers her some tissue and throws out the bagged leaves for her. She thanks him. Remarking that they haven't talked in a while, Tsubomi leaves with a 'See you later!' Simple words, but they lend Mob's heart wings.

Still blushing as he walks away, he encounters Ichi Mezato, who wants his presence at a Psycho Helmet Faith meeting this Sunday... and Tome, who isn't about to let him forget that he'd promised to help her find telepaths that day. Emi, observing from behind, is happy that he's getting some attention from the opposite sex. She chuckles at his failure to notice. Ritsu calls out to him to walk home together; the boy confides in his younger brother: 'I might be getting popular...' Too embarrassed to elaborate and uncertain of his own perceptions, he charges on ahead of Ritsu. Suddenly Mob notices heads turned in his direction, watching him. Admiring him, even. Full of himself, he explodes in 100% Cockiness.

Mezato calls Mob at home that night, delighting Mrs Kageyama maybe a little too much; her awkward older son is ''talking to a girl''. Noting her curiosity, the boy continues his talk with Mezato in private: the Psycho Helmet Faith has too many claimants to the title of founder and guide. They need Mob. His stepping up would definitely make him popular with girls, even with Tsubomi... The idea puffs up his ego ''again''. A more-vigorous-than-usual Dimple catches him off-guard afterwards. He calls Mob out on that cocksure self-assurance, in hopes of deflating it. All the attention Mob thinks he's getting? It's just a delusion; he's not any more noticeable than he's ever been. The teenager bristles. He dismisses the spirit's relevance to the Faith, then tersely brushes him off when he spells out his intentions: to take it over, together. With Mob by his side. The sleazy ghost, hurt, breezes past Ritsu in the hallway without a word and floats off into the night.

Saturday is a slow day at Spirits and Such. Reigen wants to know what's new with his psychics on call. Serizawa hasn't made friends yet at night school, but he'll deal. Mob voices surprise that Reigen is asking about his life directly. As the only jobs on his desk are all calls for him to investigate sudden instances of structural damage--surely nothing he can't handle alone--he sends the two home. In answer to Reigen's earlier question, Mob reveals that he's attending a meeting with the faith sprung from his rage explosion. Certain the child is being cocky about the religion's origins (he's really not), Reigen gets truly excited when he sees just how many followers it's accumulated...a real business opportunity, no? He encourages Mob to go (and tell the faithful that he has a ''shishou'' too!), sending the boy off with a bonus to buy himself something nice.

The teenager has no idea what to wear for an occasion like this, and heads home to ask Ritsu for advice when Teruki Hanazawa spots him. Mob explains his quandary to Teru, who had a different concern in mind; Teru affirms that ''of course'' people are taking notice of him--he's good-looking ''and'' cool--and takes him shopping. He eventually suggests a very loud shirt from a brand he likes. Mob approves and parts with the cash.

Sunday arrives. Ritsu is privately horrified at Mob's new shirt, but keeps most of his alarm to himself. Mob is supposed to be meeting with Tome and Mezato today, but after many ''many'' hours of waiting, both girls have stood him up and neither is answering her phone. The Psycho Helmet Faith's founder audition is ''being streamed live'' and many of the faithful present at the meeting wonder aloud if there will be a riot, until Psycho Helmet-''sama'' himself takes the stage... and shows all in attendance a miracle...

Mezato calls Mob at home that night. His mama can't contain her proud excitement over her awkward older son ''talking to a girl''.

The teenager bristles at this, flatly denies the spirit's relevance to the Faith, then brushes him off when he spells out his intentions: to take it over, together. With him. The sleazy ghost, hurt, breezes past Ritsu in the hallway without a word and floats off to parts unknown.

** Mob deftly shoos away Tsubomi's catty friends with a lie in order to talk to her. That--and speaking to three other girls within the space of a single afternoon--go to the teenager's head, resulting in an explosion of 100% Cockiness[[note]]or Getting Carried Away, or 'Mob on a High Horse', or 'Full-of-Himself'... 調子こき (''Choush'koki'') in the original Japanese[[/note]]. It's accompanied by a ridiculous ArtShift (described below) and VocalDissonance.
** Mezato manages to convince him to attend the Psycho Helmet Faith's founder audition with the prospect of Tsubomi's affections. Their conversation triggers another explosion in which the teenager denies Dimple's relevance to the cult--even though it formed from (LOL)'s ashes--and brushes off his invitation to join him in godhood.

--> '''Mob:''' What, exactly, do you want to do as God?

-->'''Mob''': You're also trying to take [the religion] over, too, aren't you?\\

'''Mob:''' So what makes you different from the other guys?

* OverEnthusiasticParents: Downplayed. Mrs Kageyama's embarrassingly coy delight at seeing her awkward older son ''finally getting phone calls from girls'' isn't the only reason Mob elects to call Mezato from his cell phone in his room, but it's a factor.

* VillainsNeverLie: Dimple, alone out of all Mob's loved ones, is the only one to tell him the truth about his supposed popularity; [[BrutalHonesty he does so with characteristic blunt charm]]. Mob is convinced that he's being watched and ''admired'' by girls while walking with Ritsu and Teru; as both boys take their own popularity (and hotness) for granted, they aren't able to help Mob make sense of what's happening to him. Teru is [[CrushFilter already quite enamored of Mob]] and thus ''biased''. Even Reigen gets too swept away in what fame for Mob would mean for his business to cut the boy a reality check.

** Dimple to Mob in this same conversation, as he tells the teenager his AcquiredSituationalNarcissism is normal for prepubescent boys and that the panopticon-like feeling he's describing is all in his head.
