What Happened to Dimple in Mob Psycho 100?
In Mob Psycho 100, Dimple became obsessed with becoming God. He fueled his dream with the energy of the giant broccoli, aka the Divine Tree, that grew in the middle of Seasoning City.
This energy came from the people who gathered in front of the Divine Tree every day to worship and pray.
Dimple first informed Mob about the energy of the Divine Tree. He persuaded Mob to use the energy to rule Seasoning City as a team and become gods.
On the other hand, Mob dismissed his evil thoughts and even asked him to stop his schemes.
At the time, Mob was preoccupied with his rising popularity, which is why he was unable to properly address Dimple's concerns.
Because of this, Dimple felt rejected by his one and only friend.
He chose to abandon Mob and the others in order to harness the Divine Tree's energy for himself.
During a gathering of the Psycho Helmet Cult Religion, Dimple appeared in the form of a young man who resembled Mob and declared himself the religion's founder.
Dimple grew in strength as more people came to pray and worship the Divine Tree.
He was also successful in brainwashing Ritsu, Reigen, and Teruki.
This was all part of Dimple's grand scheme to rule the world. He not only became God, but he also gained a large number of followers.
Dimple's transformation into God has given him such power that he can compete with Mob head-to-head.
He was also able to put Mob's abilities to the test by gradually absorbing them, thanks to the Divine Tree's power.
