Kinda surprised by how close this matchup has become. This’ll be my last reply tho cause I’m tired.

^^He was only in 100% at the time. It’s established that Mob’s powers are essentially a vessel for ???%. We’re even shown this, as when Suzuki tries to overload Mob again in the final arc, it does nothing and ???% Mob is fine. If they’re similar in power, then psychic absorption should work. But they aren’t really, so it’s kinda not that relevant lol. I don’t get your misgivings with the spirit stuff. ???% Mob is essentially bloodlusted, and he’s been perfectly willing to do it before. He’s shown the capability to do it, and the rules on it are pretty well-defined, so it’s not like this vague thing. If Tatsu can’t counter it (which she can’t really), it’s a wincon. Tatsu has chi manipulation, yes, but Mob’s survived far worse than that. It didn’t take place in a dream world either. By the time Dimple had rescued Mob, Mogami released all the evil spirits he had, so the fight absolutely happened on some level of reality. Everybody in the world was a spirit. Mogami even noted that Mob had broken out of the dream and was fighting for real. Even if you still argue it’s a dream, it was also designed to be a perfect replica of Mob’s daily life in the real world, so it’s applicable anyways. And if you’re gonna say that Mob doesn’t fight like that typically, then you can’t let Tatsu use psychic binding either. She’s never personally actually shown that ability, she’s never properly used it, and the two times it’s been tried in the entire series, it failed. Worth noting though that it’s established that you can break out of psychic powers in OPM if you simply have strong enough emotions. That’s Mob’s entire gimmick, so there’s an argument he could still break out of it. Tatsu is strong, obviously, but if she can’t destroy spirit Mob, then she doesn’t have a way to properly kill Mob, while he has plenty of ways to kill Tatsu.

Fun debate mate.
