Mob Psycho 100 is back with season 2, picking up right where season 1 left off. In episode 2, titled "Urban Legends ~Encountering Rumors~", the show continues to explore the supernatural powers of its main character, Mob.
The episode begins with Mob's boss, Reigen, receiving a call from someone asking for help with a ghost problem. Despite not really having any ghost-busting powers of his own, Reigen accepts the job and drags Mob along with him to investigate.
As they arrive at the location, a creepy old mansion in the woods, they meet the client who tells them about the ghost that has been haunting her family for generations. The episode starts to take a more horror-like tone as the family shows Reigen and Mob around the mansion, pointing out all the strange happenings.
Things take a turn for the worse when Mob wanders off on his own and starts to experience the presence of the ghost himself. It's in these moments that we see just how powerful Mob's psychic abilities can be - as he begins to levitate and see visions of the ghost's past.
Meanwhile, Reigen is still trying to play up his abilities as a psychic medium, much to the family's disbelief. When the ghost starts to manifest itself more visibly, Reigen tries to use his "powers" to communicate with it, only to fail miserably.
The episode reaches a climax in the basement of the mansion where the family has been keeping the ghost's remains. As the family members start to plead with the ghost to move on, Mob begins to channel his energy and confront the ghost, ultimately helping it to find peace and move on. It's an emotional moment that highlights the show's ability to mix supernatural elements with genuine human emotion.
Overall, episode 2 of Mob Psycho 100 season 2 is a great example of the show's style - mixing humor, horror, and emotion in a way that keeps the audience engaged throughout. With its unique animation style and compelling characters, the show continues to be a standout in the anime landscape.
