He sets up the Spirits and Such Consultation Office but has absolutely no psychic abilities and is on the verge of shutting it down due to a lack of clients and direction. Mob's Trauma: Mob is a deeply traumatized child. He recently triggered an accidental emergence of psychic power during a bullying incident, inadvertently insulting his younger brother, Ritsu. Terrified of his own capabilities and unable to find anyone who understands him, he suppresses his emotions to keep his powers in check. For four years leading into the main events of the series, Mob works for Reigen. While Reigen uses clever non-psychic tricks (like salt splashes and professional massages) to scam clients, he fiercely protects Mob from the dark side of the spiritual and adult world. When dangerous supernatural threats or organizations like "Claw" emerge, Reigen steps in to shoulder the burden. During the climax of the Claw Seventh Division Arc, Mob is driven to a breaking point where he feels forced to murder his enemies to save his friends. Reigen steps in, takes the emotional weight off Mob's shoulders, and commands him to run away, asserting that adults should handle the violence. In a moment, Mob temporarily transfers his power to Reigen, allowing the con-man to effortlessly dismantle the villains without breaking his non-violence rule.

As Mob grows older, he begins making friends, joining the Body Improvement Club, and building a life outside of the office. Reigen, fearing he is losing his grip on Mob and reverting back to loneliness, becomes overbearing and dismissive of Mob's new social life. This leads to a harsh argument, and Mob walks out on his job.Left alone, Reigen experiences a massive surge in business, culminating in a live television broadcast. Without Mob to back him up, Reigen is publicly cornered by the media and exposed as a fraud. During a chaotic press conference, Mob uses his powers subtly from the crowd to manipulate the cameras and lights, saving Reigen from total public ruin.The ultimate resolution of their history occurs when Mob loses complete control of his subconscious self (the "???" entity) following a traffic accident. Trapped in an emotional storm, Mob rampages through Seasoning City on his way to confess to his childhood crush, Tsubomi.Despite having no powers and risking his life against a catastrophic storm, Reigen uses everything he has to reach Mob. Aided by the spirit Dimple, Reigen physically battles through the destruction just to speak to his student. Cornered by the tempest, Reigen finally yells out the ultimate truth he had been hiding for years: he has absolutely no psychic abilities and has been lying the entire time.

This confession is not a betrayal; it is an act of supreme vulnerability. By showing Mob that adults are Flawed, insecure, and fake—but can still strive to be good—Reigen shatters Mob's internal emotional shackles. Mob finally accepts both his human side and his psychic side as one complete self.

Mob and Tsubomi have known each other since they were young children. In their early days, Tsubomi was truly fascinated by Mob's psychic abilities. He would use his telekinesis to perform tricks for her, like levitating objects or making things float, which initially made her happy. However, as they grew older, Tsubomi quickly grew bored of the tricks. She realized that psychic powers, while flashy, didn't make Mob inherently interesting or cool. She shifted her attention to athletic and popular boys. This realization was a turning point for Mob: it taught him that his powers were not a shortcut to making people love him. Through middle school, Mob remains deeply in love with Tsubomi from afar, but he is too shy and emotionally repressed to approach her. Tsubomi is popular, independent, and fiercely straight-forward, often rejecting confession after confession from other boys without hesitation. To capture her attention without relying on his psychic powers, Mob makes a conscious choice to improve his human flaws. Instead of joining the Telepathy Club (where he could easily fit in), he joins the Body Improvement Club. He endures grueling physical workouts, pushes past his physical limits, and tries to learn how to read social cues—all because he wants to become a well-rounded person that Tsubomi could genuinely respect.

While Tsubomi rarely interacts with Mob directly during this time, she silently observes his effort. She notices him running with the club, passing out from exhaustion, and picking himself back up, subtly respecting his determination.During the Divine Tree arc, when the city falls under the brainwashing influence of a giant broccoli cult, Tsubomi stands out as one of the very few individuals who does not succumb. Because of her independent mind and strong sense of self, she notices that everyone around her is acting strangely and refuses to drink the cult's juice. Her grounded nature mirrors Mob's own struggle to stay true to himself amidst overwhelming outside forces. The climax of their history happens at the very end of the series. Tsubomi announces that she is transferring to a new school. Realizing this is his last chance, Mob schedules a meeting with her at their childhood park to finally confess his feelings. On his way to the park, Mob is hit by a car while saving a child. The physical trauma causes him to lose consciousness, unleashing his unstoppable, destructive subconscious entity ("???"). This entity rampages through Seasoning City, tearing up streets and defeating powerful espers, driven entirely by the single-minded urge to reach Tsubomi.

While the entire city evacuates in terror, Tsubomi refuses to leave. She stays waiting at the park with her umbrella, despite the approaching catastrophic storm. She reasons that since she made a promise to meet Mob, she will honor him, showing her immense courage and respect for him. When Reigen finally reaches Mob and helps him merge his two halves, Mob regains control and walks into the park as his true, complete himself. He hands Tsubomi a battered flower and confesses his love. Tsubomi gently but firmly rejects him, stating that she still does not see him as a romantic partner. While Mob cries over the heartbreak, the rejection is actually his ultimate victory. For years, Mob feared that showing his true, raw emotions would cause people to abandon him. Tsubomi looks at his flaws, his powers, and his mistakes, handles it with total honesty, and remains his friend. In the final chapter, after Tsubomi has moved away, Mob is shown talking to her on the phone. awkwardness is gone. He is laughing, speaking freely, and no longer putting her on a pedestal.
