Mob stands at the foot of the Divine Tree amid the clapping, cheering throng as Psycho Helmet-''sama'' speaks to him in his mind. ''All this adulation, this praise... Doesn't it feel'' good? No, it really doesn't, especially being coerced and all; he challenges this usurper to come talk to him face to face.

!!Tropes appearing in this episode include:
* ApologeticAttacker:
** Mob apologizes to Teru for immobilizing him while Teru tries to bring Mob to heel during their fight.
** Teru apologizes to Mob before blasting a gaping hole in the floor with him in response.
** Dimple is worried his Godly Beam attack might have killed Mob and moves to apologize before the boy's explosion counter hits 99%.
* BrokenTears: Downplayed. Mob begins to weep at the realization that Dimple is too afraid of him not to hide behind the trappings of psychic power; the last thing he wants is for his loved ones to fear him. His [[CharacterDevelopment character development]] has entailed learning to hold space for his huge emotions instead of becoming an AngstNuke, so the epiphany doesn't break him entirely.
