This is them I think?

That phrase, 'when someone is so kind it actually disgusts you,' really resonated with me when I saw this fan art featuring Ritsu Kageyama. It perfectly captures that complex feeling, especially when you think about his relationship with his brother, Shigeo Kageyama, in Mob Psycho 100. For anyone who's watched the show, you know Shigeo is the epitome of pure, almost overwhelming kindness. He tries to solve everything with empathy and his psychic abilities, even when facing truly hateful people. And then there's Ritsu, who, despite loving his brother deeply, often finds himself in Shigeo's shadow, grappling with his own burgeoning powers and insecurities. It's a classic 'most average brother experience' but amplified by their extraordinary circumstances. It's like, Shigeo's kindness is so absolute, so unwavering, it can be almost... suffocating for Ritsu. You see Ritsu trying so hard to be 'normal' or to prove himself, and then Shigeo, without even trying, just radiates this genuine goodness. For Ritsu, who's often more pragmatic and sometimes even a little manipulative in his own way, that kind of pure kindness can feel like a challenge to his own worldview, or even make him feel inadequate. It's not that he truly hates kindness itself, but perhaps the effortless nature of Shigeo's kindness, or how it highlights his own struggles to be as genuinely good, can trigger a complicated internal response. It’s what the fan art describes as 'when someone is so kind it actually disgusts you' – not out of malice, but a deep-seated internal conflict. The contrast shown in the images is brilliant: Shigeo is the one who embodies the idea that 'when someone is so hateful it inspires you to be kinder,' constantly striving for peace and understanding. And then you have Ritsu, perhaps experiencing the flip side, where such overwhelming, almost unyielding kindness, especially from someone so close, can actually provoke a complex, almost 'disgusted' reaction – not true disgust, but more like a feeling of being unsettled or challenged by such an extreme virtue. This dynamic isn't just for anime characters. I think many of us can relate to this 'average brother experience,' or even just human relationships in general. Have you ever encountered someone whose kindness was so profound, so unwavering, that it made you deeply uncomfortable? Maybe it made you question your own motives, or felt too good to be true, triggering a cynical response. It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon. It makes you reflect on why we sometimes push away what seems inherently good. Is it insecurity? A fear of vulnerability? Or simply a feeling that it’s too much to live up to? This isn't to say Ritsu truly hates Shigeo's kindness; it's more nuanced than that. It's the discomfort that comes when someone's goodness forces you to confront your own perceived shortcomings or the darker aspects of your own personality. It’s like looking at a perfectly polished diamond when you feel like a rough, unrefined stone. The diamond itself isn't bad, but its perfection can make your own imperfections starkly visible. This can sometimes manifest as a feeling akin to 'disgust' – a pushing away of something that feels too pure, too good, or too unreachable. In the context of brothers, this comparison can be amplified. The fan art and the original post really nailed this core theme from Mob Psycho 100. It's not just about superpower battles; it's about the internal struggles of growing up, finding your identity, and navigating complex sibling bonds.
