6 Anime With Surprising Life Lessons
4. Mob Psycho 100 - Humanity & Humility
Mob, the nigh godlike psychic. Able to destroy and reassemble an entire school with ease. So powerful is he that merely the side effect of one of his fights grows simple broccoli seeds to broccoli the size of a skyscraper.
Yet, all this power might as well be useless to Mob. What he really values is the life of an ordinary school boy, where he can improve himself. Mob understands that regardless of his abilities, they are all meaningless in the face of his personal happiness.
Extreme wealth, command of armies, magical abilities, they do not make you any less human or any more important than every other human on a fundamental level.
On account of his weak body, he joins the Body Improvement Club. He understands his weaknesses and seeks to improve. Just because he can destroy entire city blocks with his mind doesn’t mean he’s perfect.
He will always try to improve, showing that having strengths in certain areas doesn’t mean you should neglect your weak points. It’s a wonderful lesson on the true meaning of power and its value.
