Let’s talk about Arataka Reigen for a moment—yeah, that guy from Mob Psycho 100. You know, the one who runs that quirky little business called “Spiritual Consultancy - Reigen”? He’s definitely not your typical hero, but honestly, that’s what makes him so interesting. Arataka Reigen is kind of a walking contradiction: a self-proclaimed psychic who can’t actually use psychic powers, a con artist with a conscience, and a mentor who somehow earns your respect despite all the lies. And yet, over time, you start to see that there’s more to Arataka Reigen than just flashy suits and empty promises.
At first glance, Arataka Reigen comes off as someone who’s only in it for the money—especially when he starts using Mob, his young assistant, to fake exorcisms and pull in clients. But as the series unfolds, it becomes clear that Arataka Reigen genuinely cares about Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama. Sure, he might’ve started out exploiting Mob’s abilities, but their relationship evolves into something real—a true teacher-student bond built on trust, growth, and mutual respect. Arataka Reigen pushes Mob to understand his emotions, control his overwhelming power, and become more than just a vessel for psychic energy. And in return, Mob helps humanize Reigen, showing him that being a real mentor means more than just looking good in front of clients.
What’s really fascinating about Arataka Reigen is how flawed he is—and how much we end up rooting for him anyway. He lies, he exaggerates, he takes shortcuts—but almost always with good intentions. There’s a scene where Arataka Reigen faces down a powerful spirit with nothing but sheer bravado and a fake smile, putting himself at risk just to protect others. That moment? That’s when you realize: this man might not have psychic powers, but he’s still a hero in his own right. And that’s why Arataka Reigen stands out—not because he’s perfect, but because he tries, even when he’s out of his depth.
Now, if we dive into personality types, Arataka Reigen fits the ESFP mold pretty well. He’s energetic, loves being around people, and thrives in the moment. Arataka Reigen reads the room like a pro, adjusting his tone and tactics depending on who he’s talking to. Whether he’s calming a panicked client or rallying his team during a crisis, his emotional intelligence shines through. He’s spontaneous, yes—sometimes recklessly so—but that also means he’s adaptable, creative, and unafraid to improvise when things go sideways. All classic ESFP traits, really.
Then there’s the Enneagram angle. Arataka Reigen? Definitely a Type 3—“The Achiever.” He wants to be seen as successful, capable, impressive. He builds his whole brand around that image: the confident psychic consultant, the wise mentor, the fearless leader. But deep down, Arataka Reigen struggles with insecurity. He fears being exposed as a fraud, and that fear drives a lot of his actions. Over time, though, he begins to grow. He starts valuing authenticity over appearance, relationships over reputation. His journey isn’t about becoming powerful—it’s about becoming real. And that transformation is one of the most compelling arcs in the entire series.
Oh, and let’s not forget the astrology take. Some fans speculate that Arataka Reigen might be a Gemini—and honestly, it makes sense. Geminis are known for being charming, quick-witted, and socially agile—all things Arataka Reigen has in spades. He talks his way out of trouble, switches personas like outfits, and keeps everyone guessing. But Geminis also get a bad rap for being two-faced or manipulative, and yeah, Reigen does toe that line sometimes. Still, you can’t deny that his adaptability and charisma are central to who he is.
In the end, Arataka Reigen is more than just a side character or comic relief. He’s complex, layered, and deeply human. Arataka Reigen teaches us that you don’t need supernatural powers to make a difference—you just need courage, heart, and the willingness to grow. And whether he’s mentoring Mob, bluffing his way through an exorcism, or facing his own insecurities, Arataka Reigen does it all with style, humor, and an unexpected amount of soul. Yeah, Arataka Reigen might start as a fraud, but by the end, he becomes something far more valuable: a real mentor, a true friend, and one of the most unforgettable characters in modern anime.
I'm not the protagonist of a novel or anything. I'm just a supporting character. So I don't think my story is particularly important.
