Memorable Quotes
Listen well, we are different from regular people because we are born with special powers. But that shouldn't give you the illusion that you're a special being.
— Arataka Reigen
Context:
This is a recurring piece of advice Reigen gives to Mob, often stated in Season 1. It serves as Mob's moral foundation for how he views his own powers and interacts with other espers.
Meaning:
This quote encapsulates the core philosophy of the series. Reigen teaches Mob that possessing a special talent does not make one superior to others. It is a lesson in humility and a warning against arrogance, which is the primary flaw of almost every antagonist Mob faces.
Psychic powers aren't needed to survive in the first place.
— Shigeo Kageyama (Mob)
Context:

Meaning:
This simple statement reflects Mob's deep-seated belief that his powers are irrelevant to his personal growth and what truly matters in life. He values hard work, friendship, and kindness over his innate, extraordinary abilities.
When things go south, it's okay to run away!
— Arataka Reigen
Context:
Reigen says this to Mob during their confrontation with the 7th Division of Claw at the end of Season 1 (Episode 11, "Master ~Leader~"). Mob is about to fight with the intent to seriously harm his opponents, and Reigen intervenes to protect Mob's gentle nature.
Meaning:
This quote is both humorous and profound. It subverts the typical shonen trope of heroes never backing down. Reigen teaches Mob that survival and self-preservation are valid choices and that there's no shame in avoiding a fight you can't win or that isn't worth fighting.

— Shigeo Kageyama (Mob)

Meaning:
This is a pivotal moment in Mob and Reigen's relationship. It reveals that Mob was never fooled by Reigen's charade. He sticks with Reigen not because he believes he's a powerful psychic, but because he recognizes his mentor's inherent kindness and good heart, validating their entire relationship.
