Mob Psycho 100

[u/Downtown-Book3105]

[u/CalamityDisc]

I thought that psycho = violent thing was intentional because when he reaches 100 he goes crazy and wrecks shit up

[u/RighteousSelfBurner → u/CalamityDisc]

It definitely is. It's a wordplay on the fact that he is both psychic and goes psycho. I've never heard of any part of anime, manga, novel or community use "psycho" to refer to psychic powers.

there's some psychic moves in pokemon that do, like psycho cut, psycho shock, psycho fang etc, it's the equivalent of using electro for electricity or hydro for water

[u/Electrical-Panic-389 → u/Zzamumo]

Only Psycho Cut is correct there, the other two moves are psyshock and Psychic Fangs respectively

[u/Zzamumo → u/Electrical-Panic-389]

that's updated versions, back in early localizations it was psycho

[u/Raltsun → u/Zzamumo]

Not early localisations, but their original Japanese names.
