Mob Psycho 100 may be over, but Mob's legacy, along with Studio Bones' amazing animation quality will live on in the anime community forever. After three seasons, Mob musters the courage to confess to Tsubomi while dealing with ???, who appears all of a sudden. Here’s the ending of Mob Psycho 100 explained.
The final episode of Mob Psycho 100 is entitled Confession: The Future, and it shows how Reigen takes it upon himself to stop his student from obliterating Seasoning City.
Who Stopped Mob?
Since Serizawa’s energy is being stolen at an alarming rate due to Mob’s powers, Reigen decides to proceed alone to stop Mob, despite Serizawa’s protests.
Serizawa believes that Reigen will be in danger considering how Mob’s powers are on a rampage.
Even though he lacks psychic abilities, Reigen proudly displays the results of his secret training on how to stop Mob.
Reigen pushes himself beyond his normal capabilities from one obstacle to the next in order to put an end to Mob's rampage.
On the other hand, ??? tries to open Mob's eyes by claiming that Reigen abused him and his psychic abilities, despite Mob's belief that Reigen did not treat him differently.
Moreover, ??? also told Mob that Reigen was a liar who only knew Mob’s worth because he wanted to use Mob’s powers for his work.
In short, Reigen only gave Mob special treatment because of his powers.
??? also believes that Reigen will abandon them both now that he can see his true form. However, Reigen did the opposite, much to ???’s surprise.
Instead of leaving them alone, Reigen apologizes to Mob for not knowing what he was holding back all this time.
Reigen also did the unthinkable by admitting to Mob that he has never had psychic abilities and that he had only been using him for his work all this time.
Without anything to hide, Reigen revealed his true self to Mob, claiming that he lied a lot, not only to him but also to his customers, because he knows nothing about psychic powers.
Finally, Reigen informs Mob that everyone, including himself, has a negative side, and it is natural to be concerned about it. More importantly, Reigen assures Mob that he is fine as is.
Just like that, Mob and ??? accepted each other, saying that they will return to the way things were and that everything would be fine even if Tsubomi rejected them.

Why Is Dimple Alive?
Dimple suddenly possessed Reigen in the midst of Mob's rampage, giving him a push to stop everything at once.
According to Dimple, he was able to return because Mob was waiting for him deep within him.
Additionally, Mob's spiral of power drew Dimple back to Mob and the others in Seasoning City.
Dimple also happened to run into Reigen, so he decides to do everything in his power to help Reigen stop Mob.
Why Does Mob Like Tsubomi?
Mob believes that he likes Tsubomi because they get along, but ??? reminds him that Tsubomi is the only person in the world who did not treat him differently even though he could use psychic powers.
Unlike others, Tsubomi was a kind soul not only to Mob but also to ???. She was the first person to accept both sides of Mob.
However, since Tsubomi lost interest in Mob's psychic abilities, ??? has been left alone within Mob.
Not only did Mob change, but he also left ??? alone by not using his psychic powers like he used to.
As it turns out, it was ???, not Mob, who fell in love with Tsubomi.
Did Tsubomi Wait for Mob?
Tsubomi waited for Mob despite everything that had happened. She remembered Mob's shaky words on the phone, which is why she decided to stay and wait for her childhood friend.
Despite rejecting Mob's confession of love and claiming that she does not see Mob as a romantic partner yet, she maintains contact with Mob even after moving out.
They talk on the phone all the time, as Ritsu revealed at the end of Mob Psycho 100.

What Happened After the Time Skip?
Mob has been active in the Body Improvement Club as the vice-captain following the time skip, alongside the now-captain Segawa.
They were also planning to attend a training camp with Musashi now that they had a larger number of members.
Mob was also an active member of the Telepathy Club, with plans to see the aliens again with Mezato and Takenaka.
Ritsu, on the other hand, rose to the position of vice president of the Student Council and finally understood his predecessors' ambitious struggles.
He still refuses Mob's invitation to join the Body Improvement Club to this day.
Meanwhile, Teru has a new hairstyle but still invites Mob to go shopping for Hagemon's new clothing line, reminding Ritsu of Mob's strange monkey shirt.
Before the episode ends, Mob and the others gave a surprise birthday party for Reigen at the Spirits and Such Consultation Office.
