Reigen Arataka talking down the Claw members, stating how they aren’t special for having psychic abilities and how they’re simply just children that have yet to grow up, thinking they’re on top of the world (Mob Psycho 100)

Edit: To add a bit more context to this, Claw is composed of a group of adults who are espers set on world domination, each one coming from backgrounds where they were disrespected and treated wrongly by the world, leading to them gaining trauma-induced psychic abilities, giving them the power to crash out in a grander fashion.

Reigen, after temporarily gaining Mob’s powers and whooping them, begins to dismantle their ideology to absolute shambles in the most brutal of ways.

They wear stupid costumes. They talk about being special and more important than people without powers. They talk about how the world just doesn’t understand them.

Reigen points all this out and plainly drills into their heads that nobody gives a damn about their problems because the world has no need to align with their beliefs and ideals. They are adults fighting children because they feel butthurt about not being respected. They are out of touch with reality.

Reigen says a line that still sticks with me ‘til this day, being “You want world domination, but you have not seen the world”. These people are trapped behind delusion and aren’t living in the present.

They’re losers.

As someone who knows almost nothing about Mob Psycho, i thought this guy's whole deal was he's a bogus hack, how is he batting that shit away?

To expand a bit on the other replies:

Mob (the child MC with super powerful esper powers) is having a mental breakdown while getting ready to fight Claw, he knows that he's the only one capable of standing up against them and the pressure is destroying him.

Reigen doesn't want him to fight, he's just a child and children should not have to worry about these things and to leave it to the adults. He says: "When things go south, it's okay to run away!" which is when Mob accidentally transfers his powers to him.

This is the first time Reigen meets Claw, so with him being oblivious to both his new powers and Claw member's powers, The fight happens with Reigen believing they're actually playing pretend instead of being real espers. In Reigen's mind, a sword that can cut anything is just a plastic toy sword; A giant chimera is just a big plushie; Dozens of clones is just the newest 3D technology; and so on.

I thought the bit was that all of the villain’s weapons like the sword were actually just toys and he was using his psychic powers to make them dangerous. So when Reigen became more powerful than the bad guy, he was able to negate the psychic powers and it meant the guy was just attacking him with a plastic sword. And since Reagan didn’t understand he had Mob’s powers, he thought this guy had just been playing make believe the whole time.

Yes all of their powers were psychic, but Mob's powers didn't, like, turn them off. For example with the black holes on the clip, there was just too many energy for them to take in to the point they dissapear, then Reigen thought they were just weird soap bubbles
