Episode 6: Mob Psycho 100 Ii

Even in a character-driven episode, the animation by Studio Bones remains a standout. Key animators like Inson Chon brought Reigen’s frantic, desperate energy to life through expressive, sometimes "stupid" character acting that fans on platforms like Tumblr have praised for its personality.

By the end of the episode, Reigen is left in a "lot of trouble," both professionally and personally, as he prepares to face the consequences of his long-running deception without his psychic safety net. Mob Psycho 100 II ~ Ｕｌｔｒａ勇気 - Facebook

Reviewers from Anime News Network note that the episode provides a compassionate yet brutal lens on Reigen’s backstory. Bereft of his apprentice, Reigen attempts to prove he is "totally fine" by doubling down on his con-artist work.

However, his success feels empty. He realizes that his "social life" consists of a bar full of gullible marks who aren't actually his friends. The episode masterfully balances Reigen’s pathetic nature with a genuine sense of tragedy—he has built a life on a foundation of scams, and without Mob, he has no real bonds to fall back on.

Moving away from the high-stakes action of the Mogami arc, Episode 6 grounds the series in human vulnerability, setting the stage for Reigen's eventual public reckoning.
