ESP NPC 100 wouldn’t have even been that bad of a localized title if it was an option

I’m just glad we didn’t live in the timeline where they gave it as a long aura farming anime title like “the most powerful psychic is a background character?”

I thought
mob, meaning group
psycho, psychological, to do with the mind
he's psychic. so a psychic who deals with the average crowded daily life

"Psycho" also rhymes with "saikō" (最高) which means something like "superb, excellent, the best."

So Mob’s friends and family essentially just call him ‘some random guy’ as his nickname 💀

This must be a cultural thing because I’m English speaking first and that first example didn’t even cross my mind. 😭 Literally read it as a crowd of physic type people

this honestly how I've translated in my head as an American, and I have passed this anime up for years because crazy mafiosa murder gremlin anime doesn't sound entertaining to me.
