Thank you, Mob, for this journey

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

Mob took us on a four-season journey starting from the year 2021 to 2025, and we, the viewers, were there rooting for him, seeing if he would have remained a mob throughout the seasons. And while I may not like the ending (I, in the beginning, still, like many, believe that Mob should have ended up alone or with Kikuchi), I will respect the ending of this series with Mob and Hatano. I personally did not have an issue with the age difference between Mob and Hatano. I just preferred Kikuchi with Mob, as we had a build-up from quiet season 1 with Mob and him.

But as I stated before, I will respect the ending of this series for two reasons. One of them being that Kikuchi saw before us, the viewers, as well as Mob, that he had feelings for Hatano. And the second reason is we had a BL writer, who made sure that not only did Kikuchi end up with his happy ever after (even though it was not with Mob), but Mob and Katano had their BL ending too. This just shows us viewers that sometimes writers carry a story in another direction from what we readers wanted it to be – and we may not like it, but we have to accept it.

But putting that aside, I want to thank Mob for carrying us on such a hilarious journey throughout the years. I always enjoyed watching the opening OST for each of the seasons, and this season did not disappoint, giving us a Green Day-inspired OST with the male lead dressed up as Green Day's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong. This was truly a journey, and I will remember Mob and how he fought the resistance of being apart of the BL world for over these four seasons.
