Creator ONE, in an interview with theEnglish Weekly Shonen Jump via Screen Rantfinally answers the age-old question about the underlying similarities between his two greatest animes. In the interview, ONE says:
“In contrast to One-Punch Man, the main guy in Mob Psycho 100 is emotionally weak and delicate. So the side characters act as a support for him. The series are kind of opposite, but they are both extremes, making them easier to create.”
One Punch Mantells the narrative of Saitama, a superhero who underwent rigorous physical training to become the world’s strongest person.

Major Difference BetweenOne Punch ManandMob Psycho 100
Shigeo Kageyama and Saitama are the most powerful characters in their own universes, but they still have their own adventures and developments that are compelling because of their power, not only because of it. Despite being a comedy,One Punch Manfocuses on Saitama’s preoccupation with finding an opponent strong enough for him to have to fight legitimately, giving his existence meaning. Mob learns inMob Psycho 100that his powers do not make him a special person, but rather just another ability that a person may gain and employ.
Both series have a tendency towards introspection and humor, as well as the core premise of an average individual holding outrageous power, but they are otherwise completely different.
