Reigen Is the Adult Mentor Shonen Anime Didn’t Know It Needed

Honestly, looking at him, Reigen doesn’t seem like the right person to mentor someone as strong as Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama. But that’s actually what makes him so valuable. While a lot of anime shows have mentors focused on making young heroes stronger, Reigen consistently shows Mob that his power isn’t what defines him—it’s about staying connected to his humanity. Over the course of three seasons, Mob Psycho 100 has turned this seemingly fake psychic into one of the best adult role models in all of shonen anime.
