Trivia / Mob Psycho 100

• Casting Gag: Invoked — In the web DVD commentary of episode 1, it was confirmed that Crunchyroll requested Bang Zoom record the dub because of their experience with ONE's other hit series. The ADR director and one of the writers for OPM were brought on board for MP100, and Max Mittelman (Saitama) and Erik Kimerer (Sonic) ended up voicing Ritsu and Teru.
• Content Leak: The OP for the show's third season was leaked and uploaded to YouTube within minutes after its premiere panel at Anime Expo 2022 came to a close. A few months later, Warner Bros. Japan responded by enlisting staff equipped with night-vision goggles to patrol the hall at the Crunchyroll Expo premiere of the season's first two episodes. It worked.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: On more than one separate occasion, Toonami's official Facebook page has referred to it as "Mob Psycho 101".
• Creator Backlash: Kyle McCarley, Mob's English voice actor for the first two seasons, was upset over how Crunchy recasted the entire English cast without negotiating with the union.
• Executive Meddling: Just like what happened with the Latin American Spanish dubs of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and Free!, the decision of using Japanese honorifics there was forced unto the voice actors' throats by Crunchyroll, due to internal policies of the company, according to the people who worked on the dub. This is later subverted, as the honorifics were removed from the dub starting season 3.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: According to Chris Niosi and Kyle McCarley, Jim Carrey and Michael Jackson were somewhat of an influence on their voices/acting for Reigen and Mob.
• The Other Darrin: In September 2022, Crunchyroll confirmed they would be recasting a large portion of the English version's cast for the third season, including Kyle McCarley. This happened, in McCarley's own account, because Crunchyroll refused to negotiate a union contract, or even to meet with the union at all.
  • It was inevitable for Mrs. Kageyama as her original English voice actress Philece Sampler succumbed to a fatal heart attack in 2021.
• Referenced by...: In the Molly of Denali "Visit Qyah", Maurice admits to having met celebrity weatherman Clark Newman who bears a strong resemblance to Reigen. This became a huge meme in the fandom.
• Shout-Out: According to Chris Niosi, several of Reigen's quips as well as some of his grunts were inspired by several shows / celebrities he watched such as Dexter's Laboratory, Rick & Morty and Ed, Edd n Eddy.
  • The animation when the Body Improvement Club uses their muscles to squish Sugimoto, the bully trying to mug Mob, is a Shout-Out to Kaori's death scene from AKIRA.
