#rip mob

You know when I first saw the raw of chapter 99.4 I was pretty shocked for a few minutes, but then I was like “naah, he won’t die. This must be one of those stupid fake outs writers do when they make you think a character is dying but he ends up being fine at the end. After all, Mob is the main character of the story. Main characters don’t die. Unless the story is ending and that would be a really crappy ending, so, no.”

Now, more than 24 hs later I’m thinking: no, he could definitely die! This story is filled with spirits and espers, if there’s a manga where the main character CAN die is this one.

I was talking with my sis @heroredriot ​ and we agreed that there could be an scenario where Mob is dead and comes back as a spirit. He would have a reason to stay in this world: he was going to confess to Tsubomi, the same thing that he started the manga wanting to do, the thing that made him want to be popular and join the Body Improvement Club. His main goal as the protagonist of the story, the thing that leads him to become a better person. That’s a good enough reason to not want to leave this world!!

He could talk to Teru and Ritsu as a spirit, they could help him. And even, this development could be a good excuse to have Mogami back into the storyline somehow (I don’t really know how, I just want him back!), and... also Dimple* could be back. They could meet as spirits, he could help him get used to his new “life”.

The sad part would be that, well, Mob would be dead, and we would have to see all his friends reacting to that. And I don’t think I can handle Reigen crying, so please don’t do that, One. 

  So, in conclusion: I was in denial about Mob actually dying for real, but now I’m not anymore. I can totally see that happening, but it’s really just another possibility. Other possible scenarios I can think of are: Mob gets into a coma, and eventually his spirit gets back to his body; or he just gets unconscious and that leads to ???% showing up again.

Either way I can’t wait for the next update!!!
