Since its debut, Mob Psycho 100 anime has gained a devoted following of viewers who have been drawn to its unique blend of action, humour, and heart. Mob Psycho 100 season 3 ended with style as we witnessed many new things about the protagonist’s personality. We also got to see some unbelievable fight animation scenes, and most importantly, we finally got to see our protagonist get the treatment he deserves.
As fans reflect on the incredible final episode of Mob Psycho 100, many are wondering if there will be a fourth season. In this article, we’ll explore everything we currently know about the potential for another season of the popular anime series.
Will there be Mob Psycho 100 Season 4?
Mob Psycho 100 anime series is based on the manga of the same name, written and drawn by manga author, ONE. The manga series has a total of 101 chapters. Episode 12 of Mob Psycho 100 season 3 animated chapter 100 and chapter 101 of the manga.
Since Chapter 101 is the final chapter of the manga series, so there is no chance of a Season 4 for Mob Psycho 100 as it has completely adapted its source material into the anime. But what about the Mob Psycho spin-off anime series?
Mob Psycho Spin-off Adaptation chances?
ONE-sensei has written a spin-off manga series, which comprises of seven chapters. The spin-off series is named “Mob Psycho 100: Reigen” and tells us the separate story of Reigen Arataka and the company he runs. Considering the massive popularity of Mob Psycho 100 and the loyalty of BONES studio to its franchises, there is a big chance that this spin-off might get an anime adaptation in the future.
Because there are only 7 chapters which is not enough source material for anime season, the potential adaptation might be a movie or an OVA series. Recently, there has been a trend of anime movies like Spy x Family recently announced an original anime movie, so there is a bleak chance for a Mob Psycho 100 movie announcement. Still, there has been no official announcement from the production committee yet.
As we consider the potential for an original anime movie based on Mob Psycho 100, it’s worth examining the current popularity of the series and whether it has the potential to draw in a sizable audience to theatres.

Mob Psycho 100 Overview
Shigeo Kageyama, often called by his friends “Mob“, is a teenage boy who has psychic abilities that he is trying to avoid using in his daily life. This is because his childhood friend, Tsubomi, didn’t like him using it so much when they were little.
Avoiding the use of his power, Mob’s emotions start to bundle up and burst at one time when they reach 100%. And sometimes, when his feelings are too pent-up, he transforms into a “???? form”, which is the pure power he is trying to hide and wreaks havoc everywhere.
In Season 1, we see Mob in his daily life as he experiences emotions daily, and they bundle up inside him accordingly. Mob, for the first time, faces villains who want his powers, forcing him to get serious sometimes and use his psychic powers willingly to protect his loved ones.
In Season 2, Mob has matured and can now control his emotions more efficiently. He faced the CLAW organization, which consisted of espers who used their powers for world domination. Mob met the leader of CLAW, Suzuki Toichirou, at the end of this season and showed him a better path in life.
In Season 3, Mob had to fight some of his allies and cut ties with them. In addition, he had to accept his power, the “??? form”, as it kept creating problems for him. And most importantly, he has to confess to Tsubomi as she is about to transfer to a new area. In the stress of all this, his “??? form” takes over him and destroys half of the city. But in the end, he accepts his powers, and things end as he gets rejected by Tsubomi. Shigeo is now a new person who is not controlled by his emotions.
