Honestly, I Really Don't Like When People Call Reigen "just A Regular Guy". Because He Isn't That Regular

Honestly, I really don't like when people call Reigen "just a regular guy". Because he isn't that regular at all. Well, to me, at least.

He's extremely social, he has a lot of skills, he's smart, he's creative, he's kind. He always knows how to solve problems. He listens to people, and, most importantly, he helps them. He's wise, he's realistic, he's funny, he's open-minded, and he's scared but he often takes the risks. For himself, for Mob, and for everyone else. Also, yes, he loves his student and is ready to put himself in danger just to save him (friendly reminder that he was ready to die during the Confession arc, and even took his shoes off, which is very common for Japanese people to do before committing suicide). I really don't think your typical regular guy would do that.

Maybe he seems like he isn't special because of his lack of psychic powers, but isn't it quite unusual that he doesn't even want any to begin with? Reigen was never jealous of Mob or any other ESPer, even though, logically, he should be since it's very useful for his business. Yet he isn't. When Mob shared powers with him, Reigen didn't really care. He acknowledged these were Mob's instead of thinking that he suddenly got awakened, then kicked villains' asses, and that's it. Never even mentioned any of that after (if we exclude the book situation).

It's very fascinating how Mob, the most powerful (modern) psychic, lives a regular life, while Reigen, someone who doesn't possess any type of powers at all, is seen as someone eccentric. And, well, of course Reigen does have common adult problems, but it's the way he deals with them what makes him different. Or so I think.

No matter what your opinion on Reigen is, it's out of the question that his relationships with Mob are absolutely beautiful. Both of them complement each other perfectly, two lonely souls finding solace in one another, rejected — though temporarily — by society just to have peace in the inner worlds: Mob in Reigen's, and Reigen in Mob's.
