* OvershadowedByControversy: The dubbed third season has often been avoided or criticized due to Creator/KyleMcCarley, Mob’s voice actor, being recast by Crunchyroll after he openly requested to negotiate with them about his contract. This also resulted in various other members of the cast being replaced by other voice actors. Needless to say, the fan community was not amused with Crunchyroll's decisions. As a result of the controversy, many have chosen to outright ignore the dubbed season as an act of boycott.

** The general consensus for the dubbed third season is that it isn't as enjoyable due to many of the voice actors, especially Mob's new [=VA=] Creator/JasonLiebrecht, sounding off-putting for their characters they voice and how they don't have the same charm as the original cast.

OBC example rewritten per OBC thread; rewritten draft by jandn2014. While I 100% agree that the CR anti-union controversy tainted the enjoyment of the third season's dub, the examples reads more like a case of They Changed It Now It Sucks that OBC. Also fixed Wiki Word.


* OverShadowedByControversy: The dubbed third season has often been ignored or criticized compared to the first two seasons. The reasons for this is because Creator/KyleMcCarley, Mob's voice actor, was rudely fired by Crunchyroll after he openly requested to negotiate with them about his contract. This also resulted in various other members of the cast, minus Chris Niosi who isn't as beloved because of his past controversies, being fired and replaced by other voice actors. Needless to say, the fan community was not amused with Crunchyroll's decision and have ignored the dubbed season as an act of boycott. It also doesn't help that the new voice actors sound rather jarring compared to the originals.

* CrossoverShip: On Twitter of 2022, fans have started shipping Reigen with [[TheOmnipotent Gojo Satoru]] from ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'' due to their similarities as powerful but pathetic teachers with unconventional teaching methods.
* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Mob is popularly interpreted as autistic by the series' neurodivergent fanbase. He tries to fit in with his peers, but has NoSocialSkills and needs to prevent PowerIncontinence by suppressing his emotions, traits that autistic fans cite as paralleling their own experiences with socializing, masking, and avoiding the risk of meltdowns. His SarcasmBlind nature, flat affect, and difficulties with expressing emotions are also commonly cited as traits that make it easy to headcanon him as autistic.

** In the early years, fans paired Reigen with Saul Goodman from ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' since Saul is also a shady loser protagonist who makes up for it with his silver tongue and ability to read the room, much like the fox man.

** If Dimple can see the ridiculous ArtShift (and hear the VocalDissonance) that occurs when Mob hits 100% Cockiness/Full-of-Himself/Getting Carried Away, others likely can as well and would actually notice as Mob walks down the sidewalk with Ritsu. Mezato stops just short of commenting on Mob's vocal shift; no one else--save Dimple--ever does. When Mob's ArtShift at 100% Courage renders his face unrecognizable, both Dimple and Mogami point it out.

** Reigen, voiced by Creator/ChrisNiosi in the English dub. His voice is a ''perfect'' fit for the character, absolutely nailing both his jaded, skeptical world-weariness and wacky LargeHam tendencies. It's a supremely well-acted performance. The rest of the cast is (mostly) able to keep up; standouts include the voice actors for Tome and [[Creator/MaxMittelman Ritsu]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The anime's approach to the second Claw arc was better received due to its much faster pacing -- while it was the last half of the season, the vast majority of the fights were much better paced, and the FinalBattle between Mob and Touichiro only lasts one episode. The animation in these episodes also verge on SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome a lot of the time and make excellent use of colour, which does wonders for keeping the audience engaged compared to the monochrome manga art, which can blend together in long reading sessions.

It's not surprise that the two fandoms have gotten along fairly well, with [[https://external-preview.redd.it/aQaoLD2vZLrqTW4roOxb5ilYr_SPqffEHnrDeUCJiPM.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=4b54567396ea82e8eb176ec9ea19aca971711e43 plenty]] [[https://external-preview.redd.it/eHXHtLEm7snlcaMVJvj5Q9Mdqs0IIByh3iL9YauHH8Q.jpg?auto=webp&s=a731b99c15724fbacb9ba0be980e8f8a63a1f771 of]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/47/35/824735e22fb2725706835952baed3fb3.png crossover]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/453/458/2a4.jpg_large fanart]]. Some fans even go as far as to call ''Mob Psycho 100'' a SpiritualAdaptation SpiritualSuccessor of the games.
** With Chainsaw Men, since both have[[https://twitter.havem[[https://twitter.com/chrisgoudartist/status/1580971747800944640?s=19 overpowereed overpowered teenagers]] fighting the supernatural whose mentors are thirsted after by the fandom.

* VocalDissonance: Mob's voice in the original Japanese often changes somewhat during his explosions, but the shifts all sound like unforced extrapolations of his speaking voice. Even 100% Animosity in the first season, the harshest shift so far, actually just sounds like ''unhinged'' Mob. At 100% Cockiness/Full-of-Himself, however, the change in his voice resembles that of a boy trying desperately to sound much older than he actually is. The [[HilarityEnsues ensuing cringe]] is situationally ''perfect''.

Added DiffLines:

* AngstWhatAngst: Using the body of a client's daughter, Mogami bullies Mob ruthlessly for what he perceives to be [[YearInsideHourOutside half a year]] inside a LotusEaterMachine. Other than gratitude for an important lesson, a burgeoning sense that maybe his powers aren't useless, and a little fear upon Mogami's return later, the spirit's [[MindRape cruel]] [[{{Brainwashing}} illusions]] seem to leave no lasting side effects on the boy. Some watchers/manga readers felt Mob's apparently shrugging off torment that might [[DrivenToSuicide drive other children to suicide]] was unrealistic--as well as emblematic of a harmful 'let's just move on' approach to deep trauma.

* RainbowLens: Mob's lack of sexual aggressiveness and other stereotypically-Western masculine traits, and Reigen's secretive nature and strained relationship with his family make them both subject to much [[TransAudienceInterpretation trans- or non-binary headcanon]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/search?work_search%5Bquery%5D=trans+mob+psycho+100]].

* NightmareFuel: While the series can suddenly veer into scary territory pretty suddenly, nothing stands out quite like Keiji Mogami. In life, he was a powerful psychic who wound up taking up assassinations for money. After arranging his own suicide, he became an immensely powerful evil spirit, not only being strong enough to torture Mob, normally a ComicallyInvincibleHero, in a LotusEaterMachine for what he perceives as six months, very nearly succeeding in [[CorruptTheCutie convincing Mob of his worldview]] in the process. Several arcs later, when his [[SealedEvilInACan container]] is destroyed, those on the scene who were there for his debut arc continue to treat him like TheDreaded, when most villains become less frightening after their debuts. He's also one of the only times anyone has outright killed human characters, albeit a bunch of RedShirt fake psychics.
** At the beginning of the Claw Arc, Mob returns home with Dimple [[spoiler: to find his home ablaze. While Mob runs through it looking for his family, Dimple informs him that there's evidence this was a break in, only for Mob to stumble upon what seems to be the [[StuffedInTheFridge massacred and torched remains of his family]]. While it's summarily revealed that it's an illusion by Dimple, for a brief minute Mob's explosion counter spikes to ''well over 100'', eventually settling on ???%. ''While he's still awake.'' The implications of this are chilling -- not only is Mob able to consciously access ???%'s power while under extreme duress, but he's able to ''willingly'' use it against people if they hurt his loved ones, going against everything Reigen taught him. One can only shudder to think what would happen in a situation such as this.]]
*** The anime plays this up even further, with Mob's Japanese voice actor [[spoiler: letting out a downright hellish growl of impotent rage. The image of Mob's bloodshot eyes staring at the fake corpses of his family is the image the episode ends on, and coming from the sweet-hearted Mob, his expression of pure ''hate'' is absolutely terrifying.]]
** Udo, a childlike esper employed by the government, becomes pretty creepy once he activates his [[SuperStrength Psycho Steroids]]. He becomes a TinyHeadedBehemoth that chuckles as he throws around [[MegatonPunch Megaton Punches]].
--> '''Udo:''' [[DissonantSerenity I'm going to punch you now, so I hope you can put up a barrier!]]
** [[spoiler: The Giant Broccoli taking on its own life as "Lord Psycho Helmet."]]
** [[spoiler: Chapter 100.2 shows Mob's ???% so single-mindedly focused on getting to their meeting with Tsubomi that it doesn't care about its powers causing ''windstorms and earthquakes that are cause for concern enough to evacuate Seasoning City''.]]
