Mob Psycho 100 Hypes up Shigeo's Birthday With Possible Season 3 Update


Shigeo Kageyama's birthday is coming up next week and it looks like Mob Psycho 100 has something special lined up for the main character's special day. A new tease strongly suggests that the anime's Season 3 could finally get a major update next Thursday!

The official Mob Psycho 100 Twitter account has dropped another reminder about Mob's birthday next week, sharing an image of Shigeo in action as his companions look on. In addition to the illustration, the caption reminds fans to check the account on May 12.

"MOB’s birthday is on May 12 which is just in a week's time," the caption reads. "Make sure to check out this Twitter account on the day..."

This isn't the first time that fans were reminded about Mob's birthday and the possible update happening on that day. Last month, the same account tweeted out a reminder along with some tease about a possible update. Needless to say, we're hoping that we'll finally get the Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 release date (or at least a teaser trailer) on that day.

Back in October, it was confirmed that the anime is getting a third season. Although the official poster and teaser were dropped, it only indicated that Season 3 is "coming soon" and there was no release date shared. However, fans are hoping that this will finally be revealed on Mob's birthday this year.

Mob Psycho 100 is based on the manga by ONE and follows Shigeo aka Mob, a middle school student who happens to be a powerful esper. Working as the assistant of the "spirit medium" Reigen Arataka, Mob helps exorcise evil spirits while trying to control his powers.

Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 has not yet been given an official release date. However, the third season is expected to premiere in 2022. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
