"The conman who's lying to and underpaying his 14-year-old employee is the moral compass of the whole series" makes it sound like Mob Psycho 100 is so universally filled with amoral characters that a conman ranks as the most ethical.
This is not true. Mob Psycho 100 is full of many moral characters. It's just that the conman who's lying to his 14-year-old employee is such a unique and brand-new type of fictional guy that he achieves being a liar and a conman and a moral compass all at the same time with absolute consistency and zero contradiction.
#mob psycho 100#mp100#reigen#arataka reigen#he will happily lie through his teeth to tell you exactly what you need to hear to fix your life and he will do it again#he will own up to his mistakes and apologize to you live on television while being grilled about psychic powers he's pretending to have#he will go along with being mistaken as the boss of your world-domination organization and also call u a fucking loser for kidnapping kids#he will lie every step of the way to his customers but he won't take payment unless he believes he actually provided value#he is underpaying a 14-year-old#Reigen the man that you are
