Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 Introduces Its Top Villain

By Nick Valdez

Mob Psycho 100 is now making its way through its highly anticipated third season, and the newest episode of the series has fully revealed the next major villain Shigeo Kageyama will need to take down! The third season of the anime has been moving along in a different way than the first two. As Shigeo himself worries about what path he should take in the future, he's also now dealing with his thoughts about his overwhelming power. Which, after the second season, is stronger than ever. But all the while, something else has been brewing underneath their attention.

The previous episodes have been teasing how the giant broccoli Mob infused with power in the second season has since become a "Divine Tree" that the Psycho Helmet club has been worshipping. But while Mob refused to go along with their desires, someone (or something) else has quite literally taken his place as the head of a growing cult. Now using the psychic brainwashing power within the the giant broccoli itself, this new villain has become a much tougher and scarier villain to overcome.

Who is Mob Psycho 100's Season 3 Villain?

The previous episode officially saw a new being taking Mob's form in order to pose as the leader of the Psycho Helmet cult. After a display of its power growing the tree's roots, it immediately took over. Episode 4 of the series took this to a wild new level as Mob slowly discovered over the course of his day that more people in his life had started fully believing in the Psycho Helmet cult. It started off slow, but through the episode quickly grew more intense as it was clear they were being brainwashed.

Not only did Teruki Hanazawa discover the villain's new plot, but he was proven to be far too weak to take down the foe completely. As the episode comes to an end, Mob himself readies to meet this new foe face to face as the rest of the town (even Reigen) falls under their control. But for fans of the manga, this is far from the only major antagonist we'll see for the season...and could surprise when it all falls apart as the season continues.
