Saitama and Shigeo Kageyama have more in common than their antisocial behavior and if you’re a die-hard fan, you’ll have noticed One Punch Man’s surprise appearance on Mob Psycho.
Released in 2012, both One Punch Man and Mob Psycho manga captured the attention of readers as they presented the story of two heroes easily dominating the villain. However, what makes them more interesting is their personality, which is unusual and hard to ignore. If you’ve watched both anime, you may have noticed One Punch Man appearing quite a bit on Mob Psycho 100.

One Punch Man appears in Mob Psycho 100
Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man are the work of manga artist ONE, so it’s no surprise that there’s a cameo between the two. However, people can completely easily miss it. Fans got to meet Saitama in the season 2 opening of Mob Psycho. If you look closely, you will see One Punch Man’s wallpaper on Reigen’s phone.
At the same time, we also see a lot of One Punch Man merchandise on Mob Psycho. For example, a t-shirt with Saitama’s face and a mug with his picture. At the same time, One Punch Man did not hesitate to pay tribute to Shigeo when one of the scenes in the manga showed Saitama wearing a Mob Psycho T-shirt.
With so many references being paired together, it’s clear that it’s not just a coincidence.
Are the two stories related?
No, the two stories are not related. It’s possible that ONE loves its characters so much that it decided to leave a few Easter eggs in the manga.
However, one can always theorize about how common the characters are in each other’s worlds. Since Mob Psycho depicts a variety of One Punch Man merchandise, wallpapers, and more, it’s very possible that the character is an imaginary superhero in the Mob Psycho world.
The same thing happened with One Punch Man. Given that Saitama was seen wearing a Mob Psycho-related t-shirt, it’s likely that he’s just a fictional character in the world of Once Punch Man.
Are these manga finished yet?
The final chapter of Mob Psycho 100 was released in December 2017. There are a total of 101 chapters in its 16 volumes.
Meanwhile, the One Punch Man manga is still continuing. Up to now, about 190 chapters have been released.
