For anime fans outside of the genre’s primary markets, such as Japan, patience is essential. Mob Psycho 100, which has released two well-received seasons, is a prime example of this, as fans wait anxiously for a third instalment.
“Mob Psycho 100” is an anime adaptation of a very popular Japanese manga of the same name by the artist ONE, who is also known for the critically acclaimed “One Punch Man.” Similar to his other work, “Mob Psycho 100” tells the story of eighth-grader Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama, who taps into the power of psychic abilities at a very young age. When he realizes that his skills are potentially dangerous, the power he has quickly becomes an issue. Mob suppresses his abilities and uses only a few of them to impress Tsubomi, his longtime crush, who soon grows bored of the same tricks.
Mob enlists the aid of Arataka Reigen, a con artist claiming to be a psychic who uses his powers for pocket change in order to gain control over his powers. Mob’s daily routine now includes exorcising evil spirits on command. However, the psychic energy he exerts is barely the tip of the iceberg; if his vast potential and unrestrained emotions run berserk, a cataclysmic event that would render him completely unrecognizable will be triggered. The progression toward Mob’s explosion is rising, and attempting to stop it is futile.
Though few official communications have been received from the studio that developed the earlier episodes, fans are eagerly anticipating season three. This is everything we know about Season 3 of “Mob Psycho 100.”
When will Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 be released?
It can be tricky to predict when fans will be able to expect Season 3 of “Mob Psycho 100” without an official announcement that production has started. In order to get a sense of when the third season of the anime might be available, we can look at the production history of “Mob Psycho 100.”
Announcing the first season of “100 Mob Psycho” in late 2015 on Anime News Network, the first episodes for Japanese audiences were released in July 2016. After that, the series paused while the first season was dubbed for English audiences. The dubbed episodes were released two years later, in October 2018.
IGN announced Season 2 shortly before the dubbed Season 1 episode were released. After a few months, the episodes aired in Japan in January 2019. In April 2019, the same month the Japanese broadcast ended, the English dub of Season 2 began airing.
How does all this affect Season 3? It appears that Bones can work quickly once it has committed to it, but “Mob Psycho 100” must be approved first. Currently, the best fans can hope for is that Season 3 will arrive in 2022, but they should wait for an announcement before getting too excited.
What will be the plot of Mob Psycho 100 III?
Because the anime adaptation of “Mob Psycho 100” has been largely faithful to its source material, fans have a good idea of what they can expect from Season 3.
There are 16 volumes of the “Mob Psycho 100” manga by ONE, and, as noted by fans, the first two seasons divided up the first 12 of those volumes, with six covered in each season. The anime will be able to explore the last two story arcs in the last four volumes of the manga. Season 2 concluded with the appearance of the Divine Tree, which grew from the broccoli seed that Mob kept in his pocket. It was the same event that ended the “World Domination Arc” and Volume 12.
As such, fans can expect to see the “Divine Tree Arc,” the “Telepathy Mini-Arc,” the “???% Arc,” and the epilogue in Season 3. This means viewers will see Mob battle the Divine Tree, experience the ultimate expression of his abilities, which could create another one of the most unbelievable moments in recent anime history and hopefully find peace at the conclusion of the “Mob Psycho 100” saga.
