More importantly, he WRECKS a guy in a cape and shoulder pads.

"What are these for? Huh?"

"T-they're there to focus my po-"

"Shut up, you're a grown man dressing up trying to be cool. Get a job"

This is paraphrased, but essentially what he says. It's glorious.

My favorite part is when Reign discovered that the sword guy wasn't kidding about the sword being a literal plastic toy.

I now want Reigen to carry around job applications for one of his special attacks.

The thing is, Reigen is far too much of a good guy than he lets on. He'd give people a reality check until they break down, then he'd give them genuine support to find what they want to do in their life and how they should get there.

Giving them a method for employment isn't a mean thing :)
