The Shield was Mob’s doing, not Reigen. Reigen’s psychic powers are somewhere between none and zero. He has many talent but psychic powers ain’t one of them.
Some people actually misunderstand about this, that Reigen gain all of Mob’s power and make him stronger and finally has a psychic power . But, that’s wrong. He does get an ability, but it is only the ability to see ghosts / spirits.
Lonely and seeking purpose, Reigen begins making television appearances and becomes famous for his psychic abilities — something that backfires when people start to realize he’s actually a fraud.
Boss attacks Reigen, though he’s protected by one of Mob’s barriers. Believing Reigen to be a strong esper, he cowers in fear as Reigen punches him with a fist full of salt. Seeing the attack did no damage, Boss believes him to be a weakling after all, but he’s quickly exorcised by Mob.
Why did Mob stick with Reigan?
Reigan was willing to give elementary age Mob some really good advice about life, even though he didn’t have to. Mob saw the good in Reigan and that’s why Mob decided to stick with Reigan and follow him. Their friendship is something that the both of them cherish and has helped each of them grow into better people.
If Saitama knew that Mob had anti-matter, he would simply avoid Mob if he didn’t want to kill him, and would simply rush Mob if he did want to kill him. Mob has low reflexes by a normal humans standards. Saitama can move around so fast that speedsters would only see a blur, if not nothing at all.
Mob could freeze Saitama, but he would just break free. Forget about using fire against Saitama. Even Genos can’t burn Saitama, just his clothes. If Mob could get his hands on some anti-matter, he would stand a chance against Saitama, though not if Saitama knows that Mob has anti-matter.
Saitama is stronger, faster, and smarter than an enraged Mob (when he thought his parents were dead for a few minutes). Mob could remove the air from around Saitama’s location, but Saitama would simply move. Mob could freeze Saitama, but he would just break free. Forget about using fire against Saitama.
Mob knew reigen did not have psychic powers. It’s too obvious not to notice. However, Reigen was never a fraud in his mind. He knew Reigen was a good person and Reigen’s advice helped him humanise himself much more easily. Reigen is very important to mob despite him being a fraud.
Who is Reigen in Mob?
Reigen is a mentor figure to Mob throughout the whole series, and encourages him to be a good person. Reigen also ends up being sort of a chaperone to several other psychic teenagers around the same age as Mob.
Reigen is the 28-year old mentor figure to Shigeo, or Mob, the protagonist of MP100. He is a con artist, a fake psychic who does fake exorcisms, but uses Mob, a real psychic, to take care of real exorcisms.
2016-present. Arataka Reigen (first name Reigen, last name Arataka) is the deuteragonist of Mob Psycho 100, who sweats a lot and was sexified by the anime adaptation.
