[01:34] Seri
    Leave. I don't want you to get hurt.
[01:38] Seri
    You can take this guy back with you, too.
[01:41] Seri
    He's supposed to be a hostage,
[01:42] Seri
    but I feel bad for him.
[01:44] Mob
    Oh, it's the prime minister guy.
[01:46] Seri
    What? You're the prime minister?!
[01:49] Yabe
    I-I'm free to go?
[01:51] Seri
    Go right ahead.
[01:54] Seri
    Holy cow... I just talked
    to the prime minister!
[01:58] Mob
    You're part of the group that abducted him,
    and you had no idea?
[02:01] Seri
    Well, you know, I don't watch TV.
[02:03] Seri
    I see. So the public thinks
    we're the bad guys.
[02:08] Mob
    But you are, though. Look at
    how much damage you've done to the city.
[02:12] Seri
    It's fine. The president said that
    most people had already evacuated.
[02:17] Dimp
    President?
[02:18] Seri
    The person who hired me.
[02:20] Seri
    He rescued me from
    the hellhole that was my life.

     27 years old
[02:31] (Flashback) Suzuki
    It's filthy in here. Why have you
    been a shut-in for fifteen years?
[02:35] (Flashback) Seri
    Who're you?
[02:37] (Flashback) Suzuki
    My name is Suzuki.
[02:39] (Flashback) Suzuki
    Your mother asked me to help you.
[02:42] (Flashback) Seri
    Another counselor?
[02:44] (Flashback) Seri
    Just know that if you get any closer,
    you'll get hurt.
[02:48] (Flashback) Seri
    I'm not normal.
[02:50] (Flashback) Boss
    I hear that you're an esper.
[02:53] (Flashback) Boss
    I understand how you feel.
[02:55] (Flashback) Seri
    Yeah, no. Go away.
[02:57] (Flashback) Boss
    Why? Why don't you tell me
    how you're feeling?
[03:02] (Flashback) Seri
    No... Don't say anything else.
[03:05] (Flashback) Seri
    Please, I'm begging you. Don't annoy me.
[03:07] (Flashback) Boss
    It must be hard...
[03:09] (Flashback) Boss
    not being able to make friends
    because people find your powers creepy.
SIGN    Potato Chips
SIGN    Yeet Tea
[03:12] (Flashback) Seri
    Stop. Don't act like you know how I feel.
[03:15] (Flashback) Seri
    Go away! Just go away!
[03:16] (Flashback) Boss
    You must've been bullied
    out of your place in society.
[03:23] (Flashback) Seri
    Get out!
[03:28] (Flashback) Boss
    I'm an esper too, you see.
[03:30] (Flashback) Boss
    Come with me.
[03:33] (Flashback) Seri
    B-But I get dizzy whenever I leave my room.
[03:39] (Flashback) Boss
    It was raining outside.
[03:41] (Flashback) Boss
    This umbrella is for you.
[03:44] (Flashback) Boss
    Just imagine that when you're under
    this umbrella, you're in your room.
[03:48] (Flashback) Boss
    Don't worry. You'll be fine if you're with me.
[03:52] (Flashback) Boss
    I'll show you how to use your powers.
[03:56] Seri
    After that, I became an
    upper echelon employee of Claw
[03:59] Seri
    and regained my place in society.
[04:01] Mob
    That's weird.
[04:03] Seri
    Huh?
[04:04] Mob
    Even I can tell that's all kinds of wrong.
[04:08] Mob
    Aren't you basically just being used?
[04:12] Dimp
    Look who's talking!
[04:14] Seri
    What a horrible thing to say...
[04:17] Mob
    You're the one who's horrible.
[04:19] Mob
    If this is what you were going to do,
    you should've just stayed a shut-in.
[04:23] Mob
    Can't you picture the faces of
    the people impacted by this?
[04:26] Seri
    The president said that world domination
    always involved certain sacrifices.
[04:31] Mob
    Do you believe that, too?
[04:34] Seri
    Hey... could you leave?
[04:38] Mob
    Serizawa-san, you chose
    the wrong person to follow.
[04:48] Dimp
    You okay?
[04:49] Mob
    That umbrella...
[04:50] Dimp
    Yeah, it's shrouded in some insane power.
[04:53] Seri
    I can relax when I'm under this umbrella.
[04:58] Mob
    If we can take his umbrella...
[04:59] Dimp
    He'll lose his strength.
[05:14] Seri
    Trying to immobilize me...
    isn't going to work!
[05:17] Mob
    Ow...
[05:19] Seri
    Oh, sorry. Are you okay?
[05:22] Seri
    Wait, you were faking?
[05:24] Mob
    Now, Dimple!
[05:25] Dimp
    You got it!
[05:30] Dimp
    Oh, shit!
[05:34] Dimp
    He explodes after only a second
     without his umbrella?
[05:38] Mob
    He must be incredibly anxious.
[05:40] Mob
    He finally found someone
     who understood him.
[05:42] Mob
    He had no choice but to follow him.
[05:45] Mob
    He never stood a chance against someone
    who used that to their advantage.
[05:50] Mob
    I have to tell him.
[05:52] Mob
    That president of yours
    didn't give you peace.
[05:55] Mob
    He gave you the idea that
    you can't live on your own
[05:58] Mob
    and chained you to the organization.
[06:02] Seri
    Are you a counselor?
[06:04] Mob
    You can't reintegrate into society this way.
[06:06] Mob
    If anything, at this rate,
    you'll never be able to return.
[06:10] Seri
    Like a kid who still has his whole future
    ahead of him knows how I feel.
[06:13] Seri
    Then tell me... What the hell
    am I supposed to do?!
[06:17] Seri
    No one understood this power
    I was born with!
[06:20] Seri
    People thought I was creepy,
    so I'd lose control and cause people trouble!
[06:24] Seri
    And because of that,
    I'd get scorned and lose control again!
[06:26] Seri
    I even accidentally sent
    my mother flying before!
[06:29] Seri
    I never had any idea
    when I might lose control!
[06:33] Seri
    I couldn't even talk to anyone...
[06:36] Seri
    I just...
[06:39] Seri
    I dunno... I just wanted...
[06:43] Seri
    I just wanted friends.
[06:49] Seri
    I have friends here.
[06:51] Seri
    Espers just like me!
[06:54] Seri
    You'd never understand!
[06:59] Mob
    Of course I understand.
    They aren't your friends.
[07:03] Mob
    I actually have friends.
[07:06] Mob
    That's how I know.
[07:07] Mob
    They aren't your friends.
[07:09] Seri
    Stop... Stop saying that over and over!
[07:14] Dimp
    This isn't good, Shigeo!
    That's an insane amount of energy!
[07:17] Seri
    I won't let you go any further!
    Those are the president's orders!
[07:20] Seri
    The president trusts me!
[07:23] Mob
    No, it has nothing to do with trust.
[07:27] Mob
    You're just being used.
[07:29] Seri
    No! The president gave me a reason to live!
[07:33] Mob
    But he doesn't see you as a person!
[07:37] Seri
    As a person?
[07:39] Mob
    You said you didn't want to hurt anyone.
[07:42] Mob
    You're just like me.
[07:44] Mob
    I know you realize
[07:45] Mob
    that you're wrong.
[07:48] Seri
    Shut up!
[07:51] Mob
    In that case... I'll be your friend.
[07:55] Dimp
    Huh?
[07:56] Seri
    Whoops...
[07:57] Seri
    I shot at him.
[08:01] Dimp
    Shigeo!
[08:03] Seri
    I even went all out!
[08:10] Dimp
    What?!
[08:14] Seri
    You're sucking up my energy?
[08:17] Mob
    I can sense what you're feeling.
[08:20] Mob
    Such a sad energy...
[08:23] Seri
    You turned it into your own power?
[08:26] Mob
    No. You can have it back, Serizawa-san.
[08:35] Seri
    What is this?
[08:39] Seri
    I see...
[08:40] Seri
    He's...
[08:42] Seri
    He's the same as me...
SIGN    Friendship
[08:49] Boss
    Now I'm going to have to recruit more
    soldiers because of you and your friends.
[08:54] Sho
    Stop this already, Dad.
[08:57] Sho
    You can see that they aren't much help.
[09:01] Boss
    Since you're my son,
    I'll go ahead and tell you.
[09:04] Boss
    The project of applying stress
    to normal human beings
[09:07] Boss
    to awaken any ESP they may have...
[09:10] Boss
    It was a failure.
[09:12] Boss
    Even if they did happen
    to awaken to some powers,
[09:14] Boss
    the most they could do was produce
    some insignificant phenomenon.
[09:18] Sho
    Then their powers...
[09:20] Sho
    You call that an insignificant phenomenon?
[09:23] Boss
    The powers they're using
    like they're going out of fashion
[09:26] Boss
    are my powers.
[09:29] Boss
    I am able to share my power with others.
[09:32] Boss
    At the same time, I am able to absorb
    other people's powers as my own.
[09:36] Boss
    This is my true trump card
    that no one knew about.
[09:41] Sho
    So you gave 600 soldiers your power?
[09:45] Boss
    That's just a mere fraction of
    the energy that I have accumulated.
[09:50] Boss
    But that doesn't make it any less vital.
[09:54] Boss
    I'll be reclaiming my energy
    from those who have lost.
[10:09] Sho
    I-I finally understand...
[10:12] Sho
    My dad's not human.
[10:14] Sho
    He's a monster made up of energy!
[10:16] Boss
    Let this be a lesson, Sho.
[10:19] Boss
    Only one absolute being can be
    the true protagonist of this world.
[10:25] Sho
    Absolute being?
[10:30] Sho
    You're—
SIGN    Mob Psycho
SIGN    Mob Psycho
SIGN    Mob Psycho
[10:39] Sho
    You're Ritsu's older bro.
[10:41] Sho
    That must mean my detonator
    went off successfully.
[10:46] Mob
    Are you the one who set fire to my house?
[10:50] Sho
    You're probably pissed off about that,
    but you should probably run.
[10:54] Sho
    There's no one in this world
     who can defeat him.
[10:57] Mob
    I'm not mad anymore.
    I'm sure you have a lot going on.
[11:01] Mob
    I mean, look at what
    your own father has done to you.
[11:05] Boss
    Who are you?
[11:07] Mob
    He's been worried about you
    losing control. I can tell.
[11:11] Mob
    Because my younger brother
    was afraid of me, too.
[11:15] Sho
    He's... changed.
[11:17] Boss
    You make it sound like you know
    what's going on with our family.
[11:21] Mob
    Serizawa-san told me that
    your son was trying to stop you.
[11:26] Mob
    That your son was being beaten so badly,
[11:28] Mob
    he couldn't bear to watch
     and came downstairs...
[11:31] Mob
    That he felt so pathetic
    for not being able to step in,
[11:34] Mob
    making him want to disappear.
[11:36] Boss
    Serizawa lost?
[11:38] Boss
    That moron. He must've gotten sloppy.
[11:41] Mob
    You're wrong.
[11:42] Mob
    Winning and losing
[11:44] Mob
    isn't the be all and end all
    in relationships between people.
[11:48] (Flashback) Seri
    It was the president
    who got me out of that room.
[11:51] (Flashback) Seri
    I'm grateful to him.
[11:53] (Flashback) Seri
    But why is there a need to hurt people?
[11:57] (Flashback) Seri
    I've been too scared to think about it
    so I've been running away...
[12:00] (Flashback) Seri
    But if my happiness only came
    as a result of another's tears,
[12:03] (Flashback) Seri
    I never wanted it in the first place.
[12:06] (Flashback) Seri
    Thank you for making me realize that.
[12:11] Boss
    Apparently, trash will never be
    anything more than trash.
[12:15] Boss
    So be it. It's not like I ever truly
    counted on others to begin with.
[12:19] Boss
    Bonds with others are absolutely meaningless.
[12:22] Boss
    After all, I am whole on my own.
[12:26] Mob
    That's not true. Everyone...
[12:29] Mob
    Everyone grows because of their
    encounters with other people.
[12:32] Mob
    People need other people.
[12:35] Mob
    Someday, you'll need others.
[12:37] Mob
    When that time comes,
    you're surely going to regret things.
[12:40] Mob
    So if you don't have anyone to talk to,
[12:44] Mob
    I'll be there.
[12:45] Boss
    You want to be a shoulder I can lean on?
[12:49] Boss
    Save that kind of talk
    for the weaklings of the world.
[12:52] Sho
    Ritsu's bro, he can give people his energy
    and steal theirs in turn.
[12:57] Sho
    On top of that, he's got
    a massive stock of energy himself.
[13:00] Sho
    Meanwhile, I can barely even move...
[13:04] Mob
    Will this help you move?
[13:06] ---
    What?
[13:08] Sho
    Th-This is...
[13:12] Boss
    He has the same power as me?
[13:13] Mob
    Can you move?
[13:14] Sho
    Y-Yeah, I can sorta stand.
[13:17] Mob
    That's good. In that case,
    you should evacuate, too.
[13:20] Mob
    I'm going to—
[13:22] Boss
    I have acknowledged you as my enemy.
[13:26] Sho
    Stop!
[13:28] Boss
    You stay out of this.
[13:29] Boss
    He has the potential to
    become my mortal enemy.
[13:32] Mob
    Don't. I came here to talk.
[13:36] Dimp
    Give it up, Shigeo!
[13:37] Dimp
    You can't talk to guys like—
[13:40] Boss
    You're an annoyance.
[13:41] Boss
    You can disappear first.
[13:43] Mob
    Dimple!
[13:47] Teru
    Was it really a good idea to
    let Kageyama-kun go off alone?
[13:51] Ritsu
    I've never seen my brother
    openly stamp his authority like that.
[13:55] Teru
    He looked in pain to me, though.
[13:58] Teru
    He's not usually the type to fight.
[14:01] Teru
    What do you think, Reigen-san?
[14:04] Reigen
    At first glance, Mob looks pretty unreliable,
    but his strength is undeniable.
[14:08] Koyama
    His insane telekinesis, right?
[14:11] Reigen
    That's just one of his qualities.
[14:15] Reigen
    What makes him truly great
[14:17] Reigen
    is his ability to tell people
    exactly how he feels.
[14:20] Reigen
    And that speaks to their heart
    far more than any niceties.
[14:24] Reigen
    As long as Mob's feelings can be
    expressed to whoever he's facing...
[14:31] Ritsu
    Dimple!
[14:33] Reigen
    What's wrong? Are you okay?
[14:34] Reigen
    Where's Mob?
[14:36] Dimp
    I'm not sure, but things look pretty grim.
[14:39] Dimp
    The enemy was pretty intent
    on mercilessly killing Shigeo.
[14:43] Reigen
    Four-eyes, you got a sec?
[14:47] Boss
    Talk?
[14:49] Mob
    You said that bonds with others
    are meaningless.
[14:52] Mob
    That can't be true.
[14:54] Mob
    Everyone lacks something.
[14:55] Mob
    People making up for others' deficiencies
    is what makes this world go around.
[15:00] Boss
    All of you are so boring.
[15:03] Boss
    Even among those
     blessed with the gift of ESP,
[15:07] Boss
    my powers far surpass them all.
[15:10] Boss
    When I came to that realization,
[15:13] Boss
    it appeared as though this world
    could fit in the palm of my hand.
[15:16] Boss
    That was when I was in middle school,
    same as the two of you.
[15:20] Boss
    But your mindset
    puts a halt to all progress,
[15:25] Boss
    leaving you living a boring life
     just like the powerless.
[15:30] Mob
    That's not true.
[15:31] Mob
    You're the one who's stopped in place
    since middle school.
[15:35] Mob
    There are far more unique people
    in this world than you think,
[15:39] Mob
    and just as many mindsets.
[15:42] Mob
    No one should be able to place a value
    on another person's mindset.
[15:47] Boss
    You sound like you're trying
    to take the moral high ground.
[15:50] Boss
    I have no need to rely on others
    to make up for my deficiencies
[15:53] Boss
    because I have the ability
    to steal, use, and rule.
[15:58] ---
    Claw
[15:59] Boss
    My goal in life is to leave
    a huge mark upon this world.
[16:07] Sho
    Ritsu's bro,
[16:09] Sho
    don't worry about me. Just finish him off!
[16:12] Boss
    Sho, I'd thought about letting you inherit
    the world I was going to take over,
[16:18] Boss
    but apparently you've become a failure.
[16:23] Mob
    Hey.
[16:28] Boss
    Are you angry on Sho's behalf?
[16:32] Boss
    You truly are a child.
[16:34] Mob
    Be quiet.
[16:36] Boss
    This is amusing, though.
    Show me everything you've got.
[16:42] Mob
    This is rough...
[16:54] Sho
    Stop!
[16:59] Boss
    Just sit there and watch.
[17:00] Boss
    This is what happens to weaklings.
[17:05] Boss
    Still, you sure have some nerve
    to lecture me when you're so weak.
[17:10] Boss
    You can't be serious.
[17:12] Reigen
    Don't move.
[17:15] Reigen
    It's loaded, by the way.
[17:18] Boss
    Sakurai's Jugan.
[17:20] Boss
    You can't threaten me
    with something like that.
[17:23] Mob
    M-Master...
[17:26] Reigen
    Hey, Mob.
[17:30] Boss
    I don't sense any power from you.
[17:32] Boss
    You'll stay out of this
    if you know what's best for you.
[17:39] Boss
    Apparently, you still don't
    understand how powerful I am.
[17:43] Reigen
    Hey, you alive, Mob?
[17:47] Reigen
    I don't know what I was thinking,
    letting you go off alone like that.
[17:50] Reigen
    I think my ability to think
[17:52] Reigen
    was impacted by all
    the unnatural things going on.
[17:55] Reigen
    I failed as a master.
[17:57] Reigen
    You did well. I'll treat you to
    some takoyaki on our way home.
[18:01] Boss
    Master?
[18:02] Boss
    Even though you can't even see
    how powerful I am?
[18:06] Boss
    So you're also someone
    who tricks others and steals from them.
[18:11] Reigen
    Well, this is ironic.
[18:13] Reigen
    If you ask me, you can only see
    powers that can't be seen.
[18:17] Reigen
    I feel sorry for you.
[18:19] Boss
    What's that supposed to mean?
[18:21] Reigen
    I'm saying ESP isn't the only
    extraordinary power people can have.
[18:26] Reigen
    Off the top of my head,
[18:27] Reigen
    I can think of four ways to defeat you.
[18:31] Boss
    Oh? You should give them a try, then.
[18:34] Reigen
    Nah, I don't feel like it.
    But I do have a request...
[18:40] Reigen
    Will you let me join you?
[18:43] Boss
    What good does that do me?
[18:45] Reigen
    I'd be able to easily persuade my
    student who's unconscious there,
[18:48] Reigen
    as well as all the guys outside.
[18:50] Reigen
    That should be reason enough.
[18:53] boss
    Let's hear about these methods
    of defeating me as well...
[18:56] Boss
    If you actually have any, that is.
[18:59] Reigen
    I'll fill you in on some powers other
    than ESP that you don't know about.
[19:03] Reigen
    The first power...
[19:05] Reigen
    The power that espers should
    be extremely cautious about...
[19:09] Reigen
    That's...
[19:10] Reigen
    brute strength, you moron!
[19:14] Boss
    I guess I can see how you two
    are master and student.
[19:16] Boss
    What a ridiculous combination.
[19:19] Reigen
    W-Wait! I give up!
[19:21] Reigen
    I'll do anything you ask.
[19:23] Boss
    You have put me in an extremely foul mood.
[19:25] Reigen
    U-Um...
[19:26] Reigen
    N-N-No, wait! Let's talk about—
[19:30] Mob
    Sto—
[19:43] Teru
    What's going on?
[19:44] Ritsu
    Reigen-san...
[19:55] Seri
    I made it in time.
[19:57] Seri
    I tried being courageous for once, President.
[20:01] Boss
    Serizawa... I see that you've
    completely betrayed me now.
[20:04] Boss
    In that case...
[20:05] Mob
    Forget it.
[20:07] Mob
    That's enough talk.
SIGN    Rage
[20:15] Mob
    Let me just tell you one last thing.
[20:18] Mob
    Those who don't understand
    the feelings of others...
[20:22] Mob
    Never mind.
[20:23] Mob
    Sometimes you need to be
    hurt to truly understand.
[20:26] Teru
    That's...
[20:28] Ritsu
    It's Nii-san.
[20:29] Dimp
    Shigeo...
[20:31] Reigen
    Mob's lost it.
[20:33] Seri
    I-Is there anything I can help with?
[20:36] Mob
    Serizawa-san, take my master
    and the others and evacuate.
[20:40] Boss
    Punishment comes first!
[20:45] Seri
    Shigeo-kun!
[20:49] Ritsu
    That's...
[20:50] Teru
    That's not good!
[20:53] Ritsu
    Nii-san.
[20:56] Ritsu
    Plants?
[21:05] Plant
    So the boss really did cast Serizawa aside.
[21:08] Teru
    Who?
[21:09] Plant
    Sorry, but I owe him one.
[21:12] Guy
    Don't, Minegishi! If you piss off the boss...
[21:15] Plant
    So you're okay too, Hatori.
[21:18] Boss
    Minegishi, eh?
[21:20] Boss
    Apparently, I'm now in a situation
    where anyone can betray me.
[21:24] ---
    Back to the drawing board, I suppose.
[21:26] Boss
    Disappear.
[21:35] Boss
    Disappear. Disappear. Disappear.
[21:44] Boss
    Well, you're enthusiastic.
SIGN    Output 10%
[21:52] Boss
    You're weak. Too weak.
[21:55] Boss
    I'm still only using 10 percent of my powers.
[21:58] Boss
    Is that your 100 percent?
[22:07] Koyama
    What the hell is that?
[22:11] Boss
    I see. So that's what you were after.
[22:15] Mob
    Now I'll be able to hit
    you with everything...
[22:19] Mob
    My powers... and my rage.
[23:55] Reigen
    The final battle begins between an enraged
    Mob and the energy demon, Suzuki.
[23:59] Reigen
    Don't push yourself too hard, Mob.
[24:02] Reigen
    Next time on Mob Psycho 100 II Episode 13:
[24:04] Reigen
    "Boss Fight The Final Light."
[24:06] Reigen
    Watching the finale in real time
    is an excellent decision.
