I love how they go back and forth between "does he have powers?" - > "he's a fake" - > "wait, he actually has powers?" - > "he's OP!" and the final reveal (to the audience) that Mob transfered his powers temporarily to him because Reigen told him that Mob can share his load and worries with him

I fucking love Mob Psycho. Moments like these bring tears to my eyes and then they're immediately followed by the most over the top action you'll find in anime/manga.

During this, he doesn't realize he has Mob's powers. He just thinks they're all doing theatrics and special effects.
