Shigeo Kageyama aka Mob is the main character in Mob Psycho 100. From his external appearance, he does look like an innocent and weak junior high school boy. However, he is a very powerful esper who has a immense amount of psychic power.
Mob also shows various interesting abilities throughout the story of Mob Psycho 100. What are they? Check out the complete discussion below!
Telekinesis
One of Mob's most important abilities is telekinesis. With his psychic powers, Mob is proven to be able to lift heavy objects such as barbells and buildings without any difficulty.
Furthermore, Mob is able to create a force field that is difficult to penetrate. He can also increase his physical strength and speed in battle. Additionally, he is able to destroy matter and construct it on a molecular level.
Psychic Energy Absorption
When Shigeo has reached 100% power, Mob displays a unique ability that allows him to absorb the psychic energy of other espers. He can drain the esper's energy or absorb psychic attacks aimed at him.
Not only that, Mob is also able to absorb the emotions felt by other people. An example is when he fought against Katsuya. He was also able to feel the sadness experienced by Katsuya.
This ability to absorb energy is impressive, but it is also bad for Mob. If Mob absorbs too much other people's psychic energy, Mob will experience pain during the process.
Psychic Energy Transference
Apart from absorbing other people's psychic energy, Mob can also transfer his energy to someone, whether esper or non-esper. This ability was demonstrated by Mob when he entered 100% Gratitude.
Mob can also channel his memories and emotions through this ability. In one moment, Mob transferred his energy to Reigen and made him suddenly strong.
100% Explosion Based on Emotion
The total psychic energy that Mob can release basically depends on the percentage of his emotions, ranging from 0% to 100%. The greater the percentage, the more Mob's psychic power increases.
When Mob's emotions reach 100%, Mob seems to explode and is able to intimidate his enemies. However, how he uses this power depends on the emotions he feels.
When Mob is filled with positive emotions, he can use his psychic powers for good purposes, such as protecting his friends. Vice versa. If Mob's anger reaches 100%, he can destroy everything around him.
???%
???% is a special condition that occurs when Mob loses consciousness due to accumulated stress and pressure. When he entered that state, he would expend an infinite amount of psychic energy.
Mob can also lose control of his strength because his instincts will take over. He can also bring disaster around him, as shown at the end of the third season. Mob often regrets every time he enters that state.
Other Abilities
Apart from the abilities above, Mob has several supporting abilities, such as spiritual awareness. Mob is able to sense psychic energy from spirits and other espers around him. He was able to expand the range of his "antenna" to a radius of 20 km.
The interesting mob can also do astral projection. Apart from that, he can also manipulate plants and speed up their growth process through psychic energy like Toshiki Minegishi did.
