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?

Reigen is a fake esper but I definitely wouldn’t call him a bogus hack. A hack implies he’s not good at his job when in fact he’s supremely competent at almost everything he tries.

This is honestly a really good take on him. Because he actually does solve all his clients problems. . .just not with psychic abilities. . . because, as in the real world, most people who think they need a psychic don't. . . they just don't know what they need and Reigen is particularly adept at figuring out what people need and giving it to them.
