Ritsu's 100% Power

With my strength that can't move, completely unable to oppose — for my brother, the things I can do, there is nothing.

Ritsu Kageyama, Mob's younger brother, is in a moment of crisis. Unlike Mob (Shigeo), Ritsu was born without strong psychic powers and has always felt inadequate in comparison. This line captures his deep feeling of helplessness — he cannot protect his brother through strength because his own power is negligible.

Already stop it — it's my power, right?

Ritsu's psychic power has awakened but is acting on its own, out of his control. He is pleading with his own ability to stop — a dramatic moment showing that power without self-mastery can be terrifying. This mirrors Mob's own struggle with losing control of his emotions and psychic output.

Act reasonably / do it properly — listen to what I say!

Ritsu is shouting at his own power — commanding it to stop and obey him. This is deeply ironic because Ritsu spent years envying Mob's psychic ability, and now that he has power of his own it is completely disobedient. The phrase いい加減にしろ is a very strong, angry command common in anime confrontations.

Ritsu who won't stop is dangerous. If it stays like this, harm will reach even Takane-san. If I call him, my brother will surely not be able to endure (and will unleash power).

In this internal monologue, Ritsu refers to himself in the third person ('Ritsu') — a sign of dissociation as he watches his own power rampage. Takane-san is a classmate in danger. Ritsu considers calling Mob but knows that if Mob sees Ritsu hurt or out of control, Mob's own suppressed power — the '100%' — would explode. This is the dramatic tension of the scene.

If that's the case, it's me — surely that's it. There is no doubt that some change will occur from the shock.

Ritsu has a desperate plan: if he puts himself in danger or trauma, the emotional shock might force a change in his power and stop the rampage. This kind of 'use trauma as a trigger' thinking is tragically ironic — it mirrors how Mob's power is tied to emotional suppression. Ritsu is essentially planning to hurt himself to save others.

Sorry, big brother.

This two-word apology lands with enormous weight. Ritsu is apologizing before deliberately doing something that will wound Mob emotionally — triggering his brother's protective instincts by putting himself in harm's way. ごめん (gomen) is the casual, heartfelt form of apology. The brevity of the line makes it devastating.

That's wrong — it's not the thing of binding with trauma. The thing I can do for my brother — that is from now on, always, being a younger brother he can consult about anything.

This is the emotional turning point of the entire scene — Ritsu's epiphany. He realizes his desperate plan to traumatize himself was wrong. Real brotherly support is not about power or sacrifice; it is about being emotionally present and available. トラウマで縛る (binding with trauma) is a deep psychological insight — using pain to manipulate is not love. This realization redefines what it means to 'be there' for someone in the series.

It is the thing of becoming a younger brother who can clash seriously together.

本気でぶつかり合う (to clash seriously / go at each other for real) is a powerful phrase in shounen anime. It means not holding back, confronting honestly, engaging with full sincerity. Ritsu is declaring that real brotherhood is not about power but about genuine emotional engagement — fighting, disagreeing, supporting honestly rather than hiding behind inadequacy.

Now I finally understood — the thing that I was seeking power for was for the sake of this time. It's already okay, brother.

This is the climax of Ritsu's arc in the scene — his full epiphany. He had spent so long envying Mob's power and training his own psychic ability out of insecurity and inadequacy. Now he understands: his power was never meant to surpass Mob or prove himself — it was to reach this moment of self-understanding and protect the bond between them. もう大丈夫だよ is an incredibly tender phrase directed at Mob, reassuring his older brother that Ritsu has found his answer.

It's no good — stop!

After his epiphany, Ritsu still faces the immediate crisis — something dangerous is happening and he commands it to stop. だめだ is a very common Japanese expression meaning 'no good / this won't work / stop'. やめろ is the plain imperative of やめる (to stop/quit), far more forceful than やめて. This final outburst shows that even after emotional clarity, the physical danger is not resolved.
