"Poor, Lonely, Whitey" is the eighteenth episode of the Mob Psycho 100 anime adaptation, and the sixth episode of the second season.

Synopsis

After hanging out with the Body Improvement Club and Telepathy Club more, Mob starts to feel joy like he'd never felt before. One day while he's having fun with them, he gets a call from Reigen, spoiling his fun. Mob asks Reigen to stop summoning him so suddenly, and Reigen just handles the situation in his usual overbearing manner. And because of something very minor, a gap forms between them. Reigen is forced to go on jobs without Mob, forcing him to reassess himself.

Plot

With Mob torn between his friends and his work as a disciple of Reigen, he finally realizes that Reigen has just been using him for his psychic powers. As Mob and Reigen go their separate ways, Reigen also realizes, after a night at the bar, that he has no friends and that his life is a little miserable. Even though Mob left him he reminds himself that he himself started this business and can go on without Mob's help. As he is by himself he starts to change. He begins to film the process of exorcising and uploads it to the net, giving free courses to prevent people from getting tricked by fraud and giving people advice about their life. Reigen's reputation increases, and he soon becomes known as "Seasoning City's bro". A few days later, Reigen is interviewed by magazines and even offered to be on a television show. He gladly accepts as it could make him even more famous. However, the show is actually a set-up by Kirin to exploit Reigen as a fraud due to Jodo having a grudge after discovering that Reigen kneed him in the face while possessed by Keiji.
