>Even though you have the powers of a god, that doesn't give you the right to believe you're more special than the supermarket cashier.
Why do anime always convey this message, whether subtly or directly?

have you considered not watching shonenshit?

>>281194307 (OP)
It's a good message? Having Godlike powers doesn't make you a better person. Being raised with empathy is important. Just because you're a dejected loser who wants to take it out on the world doesn't mean that Mob has to be. He wanted to be normal and learned how through his made friends and connections, without having to abuse his powers.

Saitama doesn’t feel particularly passionate about getting invested in most fights, but what that means for him is that he can find other things in life that mean more to him than that. Heroism is a hobby, he does it because he feels like it, he doesn’t want to center his entire life trying to get in good with people who may not understand him or place himself as a pillar of the community that everyone must heed or respect. However, once he saw that there are lower ranking heroes who have the same struggles that he does being stuck with an unfortunate unmarketable undesired name, a switch flipped inside of him. Saitama never asked to be Caped Baldy, but rather than it being a burden he held alone, it is something that he can be invested in, a goal to strive for that has conflict and resolution. Because of that, he has a renewed purpose to fight, and he high fives his new friends and punches with confidence, not because he’s fighting for personal gain or self-satisfaction, but because he has a new avenue to live his life

Because, unlike the West, Japan is a collectivist country. That's why muricas didn't get the ending of MHA ("where's muh number 1 hero?").

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO you have to use your talents exactly how I want to cause this talentless bitter loser SAID SO OKAY?!?!?!?!!!
Fuck off

>>281194307 (OP)
Talents aren't to benefit you they exist for the sake of others.
And is true, sadly westerners assume being talented to being above the rest which isn't the case.
>>281195143
At least learn the truth that china was a small country since most of current china and korea was japan soil.

>>281194307 (OP)
Because the world already has too many powerful pricks who are playing God.

>>281194307 (OP)
I mean, imagine if George Soros had godlike power, would you like that?

Japanese moral law in their fiction is absolute. It’s one thing to be a cheat god in an isekai, but if the setting is modern day Japan it’s critical to impress proper societal morals on the characters.

>>281194307 (OP)
>shonen
An isekaiCHAD would use their cheat power the way they wanted it though.

Mob is about not letting power get to your head and prevent you from living a normal life. Prevent being the key word. People who just lean on their power as a crutch and bully others with it can't have successful lives, thus Toichiro's wife left him, Serizawa was a nonfunctional NEET, etc.
The message isn't to suppress your talents and abilities and never use them, the entire character of Mob himself is a warning against that. It's not "don't use your psychic powers and go be a wagie" it's "don't focus only on your powers and ignore the other parts of your life." Also not so subtly, "don't be an asshole with your powers"

>>281194307 (OP)
Because the supermarket clerk has a god++ powerlevel and would curbstomp you if he lifted his pinky, duh.

It's kind of similar but one of Gurren Lagann's themes is that your heroes aren't these perfect godly beings who are simply born like that. Kamina's cool attitude inspires those around him to do their best but he could only put on that brave face because he's surrounded by hardworking and reliable people he knows he can count on. Everyone strived to be Kamina when in reality Kamina could only be who he is when those around him had the courage to be themselves.

>>281195246
Because lifting is good for the body.
And depending on how stressed you are, maybe even for the mind too

>>281195313
That was him suppressing his power. End of the series Mob (aka Mob 100% + ???) is practically invincible.

>>281195246
Because it's good advice.

t. bugman without community

This is one few times where the core message of an anime was just straight up retarded. It tries to devalue the importance and value of power, even that same power is necessary to save everyone. I wish people didn't feel like they had to defend any dumbfuck message anime wants to spew.

>>281199838
Alot of people deny this criticism when even the author somewhat adresses it on the last season of the anime.
Mob gets run over by a car and his inner psychic goes on a rampage wrecking half the city because Mob refused to use his powers even to save his own life.
I'm guessing trying to sell the idea that; "If you have "super powers" why would you use them to make the world a worse place to live in?" is a hard question to ask without seemingly reprimending "super powers" in general.

>>281199838
What do you mean by saving everyone? Could Mob save everyone from the disastrous consequemces of the industrial revolution?

>>281198213
>[headcanon]

>>281200401
Did you literally miss the entire point of the series, which is Mob holding back his power until some spills when his emotions get to 100%, and ??? being him fully unleashed?

>>281196374
Based. Isekai is actually the most mature genre but one needs some refinement to see it.

>>281198338
>Nuke
Nukes don't exist.

>>281197087
This. It's kind of a shame that father and son eyebrow fuck it up in the anime by saying "yeah wel should never use our powers again". The final season was kind of a mess but the manga was excellent.

Girls don't like the jock in high school because he won a medal or whatever, they like him because winning a medal at that age requires a level of discipline and maturity that sets them apart from their peers.

Because its important, if you think you're more special because of some childhood talent you'll often start to coast the rest of your life on it, and when all you have is that one thing you're always one bad incident away from ruining your own self perception, like someone else being a better artist than you who has been the specialest little art guy forever, or someone being a far better athlete at the same age on a competition even though that has been your thing all your life

What's wrong with using your god given talents?
Why must one bow down to his inferiors?
Mediocrity is what is holding this species back.

If you have only one thing going on with your life and you lose it it's game over unless you improve other aspects of yourself.
If Mob becomes someone who only relies on his powers and doesn't improve on other things he would be fucked if for whatever reason he loses his powers one day, like most villains prove that.

having powers over other does make you special and better tho and it also helps you achieve the things you want easier.

It's wrong if the results don't align with a person's nature. If he wants to live a happy life and is, other than having some super power, normal, he wouldn't want to destroy the world just because he can. He's reliant on the mediocrity of life to fulfill his needs for him, because he's largely mediocre himself. There is nothing holding the species back other than the inherent inadequacy of being a social species with social needs.

No, it's a chinese novel so if anything japanese comes up it'll be to make fun of them. I can't think of anything that challenges japanese morality, maybe something like Shigurui or Harakiri might work... you have to understand that Japanese morality is already a very loose idea and in some ways it's based off of how empty the idea of morality, face, and honor actually is.

This is also why a large majority of the 'comedy' you see in anime/manga is largely rooted in the correction and public shaming of improper social conduct, i.e., boke and tsukkomi/manzai routines. The tsukkomi has to explicitly point out the boke's errors EVERY SINGLE TIME (regardless if they are intentional or not), lest the boke run the risk of corrupting the impressionable audience and single-handedly destroying the shared social fabric of the nation through their unsanctioned ignorance and/or irreverence. TLDR; they think the audience is retarded.

>>281206756
Mob is about rounding out the rest of your life and not focusing only on your talents. The point of Mob humbling the other psychics is so they could realize that without it, they had nothing in life. It's supposed to be telling you that you'll reach a point where your talent can't solve your problems for you and you'll need other aspects of your life to pick up the slack. Pretty much every member of Claw in season 1 was a complete fucking loser aside from the fact that they were in Claw.

It's not about settling for mediocrity, it's about self improvement

>>281206954
When they fight someone with greater power, suddenly they have nothing to go off of. When Claw was dissolved by Mob wrecking their shit, the remaining guys all went back to their loser lives now that they had no organization to use their powers for

It's not that they think the audience is retarded. It's a fact that people really are that impressionable. The consensus is really a fragile thing that requires nurturing. You, probably from a godless shithole like America, believe everyone is some enlightened rational actor that can hold the views of society at arms length and engage using their own good judgement as individuals.

>>281211785

>>281212058
ONE actually just wants you to understand the supermarket cashier is just as important as (you) are and has his own habits, hobbies, and talents that are not inherently inferior to yours. Being strong is nice, but so is being smart or courageous or kind or funny or trying your best even if you don't have much else going for you. Mob Psycho beats you over the head with this message so hard that Reigen outright says it just to make absolutely for sure you caught on.
The psychic powers are quite literally just a metaphor. Does being a piano prodigy obligate you to only ever play the piano? Even if they decide they fucking hate music and would rather do filler reports for some mid-tier company instead, it still wouldn't diminish their value as people. That's the point.
Everyone and anyone can help make the world a better place if they want to, they don't have to be some one-in-a-million Great Man. What are (you) doing to contribute?

>>281212058
>Hey, if you have super powers (born talent) you don't have to let them define you, and you don't have the right to use them on others to unjustly enforce your will on people. Your powers don't make you better or worse than the average person, because in the end, we're all human.

>WHAT YOU TELL ME I SHOULD NEVER USE MY POWERS TO HELP PEOPLE AND BE A CASHIER INSTEAD??

It never ceases to amaze me that it's been almost 10 years and there are still retards like you who insist of misconstruing the simplest, least offensive message an anime could have, just because some of the evil characters later on work at a supermarket.
As if the message of the show is that those people should be cashiers forever, and not that even a cashier deserves respect.

They have a based, anti-elitist mindset. In the West they would be a celebrity that lives in a mansion and consorts with jews. It's part of the reason every Western protagonist is either a trustfund baby or lives a poorly disguised trustfund baby life (even if it's unintentional) whereas in Anime they will literally stop the Superhero plot to have the MC go work his shift at 7-Eleven or go grocery shopping because they're a regular person.

Doesn't matter

>>281214520
it fucking does, it absolutely does, the difference between that guy and a billionaire is bigger than between him and you. That retard would need to spend about 20% of his income to make himself well protected and he still needed to go to work.
A billionaire needs less than 1% to make sure you will never get within 10 miles of him and he doesn't need to do shit, he can sit in his villa and snort cocaine from underage butts for the rest of its life.

>>281214402
He was just lucky that the guy he was trying to kill had a moment of stupidity and decided to be unprotected despite being the most hated person in the country.

That's why I used my talent for basketball to get into college

>Have superpowers that give you the ability to perform tasks that an ordinary person cannot.
>Work a dead-end job that doesn't use them in any way.

At least work in construction and use your psychic powers to lift heavy things. Or the fire department so you can rescue people from burning buildings.

>>281194307 (OP)
Isn't the real lesson "don't let a random thot dictate the course of your entire life"?
Literally his entire lofe was ruined by that girl. His self esteem, his view of his own powers, his morals, his life goals, all of them were thrown under the bus because of her.
>was popular with kids because they liked his psychic powers
>he also really enjoyed them and used them all the time to have fun and help people
>weird bitch doesn't give a fuck about them
>immediately drops the focus of his entire life and refuses to use it ever again
>becomes totally withdrawn and socially crippled because he refuses to interact with anyone but her, but she doesn't give a fuck about him and ignores him
She's literally the cause of an entire city being leveled and the world almost being destroyed.
Notice how the end of the entire series when he finally achieves happiness and smiles genuinely for the first time since early childhood is after he finally gives up his obsession with her.

Being a big strong guy doesn’t make you inherently more valuable than a sick person. Having a gun doesn’t make you special.

The magic powers in the story aren’t real. They’re a metaphor to reflect on our society and ourselves

>>281206756
Imagine being so fucking butthurt about your family being told to stop oppressing the peasants that you write an OC where it is divinely ordained that you get to oppress the peasants

>>281207955
You hate yourself. Stop projecting

>>281215418
It does if the "gun" is godlike magic powers that let you level towns if you so wish.

>>281194307 (OP)
Opposite works too you know. Why does (insert media here) convey the message you're special?

>>281213633
What did he mean by this @grok

>>281206756
Personally I'm amazed that people actually listened to John Galt's speech
You'd have thought the police would storm the studio and gun him down.
Then again, he'd probably have kept talking.

>”Howard Roark you have a talent for architecture, but that doesn’t make you better than anyone else”
>”Can you create this steel beam? Can you lay concrete? Can you lift the pallets of bricks without a forklift invented by another man?”
>”You aren’t special. Just a cog in a greater machine”

>>281216452
Howard Roark probably CAN do all that, with his bare hands. Or he'll build FUCKING ROBOTS to do all that.

Still relevant a quarter of a century later when ai ""artists"" think they're creating anything of value

>Being stronger means you have a duty to use your strength to make the world a better place for everyone
Why should anyone have any duty to anyone other than themselves and those who have directly helped them? What you're spewing is globalist commy garbage.

>>281217868
I don't think they think anything anon.

Mob is completely fine with using his powers by the ending, are some of you retards?

>>281219066
Yes, absolutely. What of it, chump?

>>281194307 (OP)
There is no way that... well, now thank I'm thinking about it, there absolutely would be people so retarded as to reject this message isn't there?

Just consider the following
>Mob has the powers of a god
>Mob isn't a god, he's a dorky kid
>Mob does not want to be a god
>Mob wants to be a kid
>Mob could easily use his powers to force people to like him
>Regen teaches him to not view himself as better
>Mob learns not to view others as lesser
>Regen prevents a malevolent god from being birthed out of Mob

It's not that fucking hard to get. Mob does not want to abuse his powers, even if he could use them to subjugate others and have everything for free, it is not the sort of person he is or want to become.

Dagney Taggart didn't start Taggart Transcontinental, Francisco D'Anconia didn't build his fortune nor start D'Anconia copper, Hank Reardon didn't start Rearden Steel. All of the main characters in this book are a bunch of silver-spooned faggots that think that because they say things like "Do it faster, dammit!" to their underlings means they're special and are the ones who actually make the world run. It's hilarious when people bring up this book because if you actually read it it undermines everything people says it proves by establishing that only in the most fictional, impossible world with the most improbable circumstances does anything Ayn Rand say make sense.
James Taggart and his government cronies are fun villains in their insane incompetence, though. I do enjoy reading it as a pulp novel every now and then.

>Wanting to help people weaker than yourself is good actually
>Wanting to earn things through your own merits as a person without shortcuts or cheats is a good thing actually
Wild concepts I know

>>281219695
Money and status aren't worshiped in the first world like they are in the third world. Look at all the schlock Korea puts out.

>Why should anyone have any duty to anyone other than themselves
This is the true moral decay in the West that people speak of. Unfettered selfishness and retardation.

>>281219862
It's not about being good at something, it's about being born with something that inherently gives you an advantage and would make you spoiled if you always used it to never have to put effort into anything. Why do you think rich kids are insufferable faggots 99% of the time

>>281218976
You sound like a faggot boomer

It's funny seeing Mob Psycho of all shows go past someone's head.

>>281221140
It doesn't go past their heads, they purposefully mangle the message in their for some retarded reason, probably low self esteem

>>281200817
You're a fucking moron.
