Aromantic Reigen Masterpost

Vi am making a masterpost on why Reigen Arataka is aspec (more specifically, aro)

(also a little bit of aspec Serizawa propaganda)

Under cut because it gets long

Reigen shows no interest in intimate relationships with others and actually mocks romantic couples. His mother sends him an email telling him to get an actual job and compares him to someone who just got married. Reigen is unimpressed by this. He is considered very attractive by his lady clients but never shows any interest in others at all.

He has this conversation with Dimple which is very aspec in vy opinion

[ID: A manga panel from Mob Psycho 100. Reigen tells Dimple, “Lust? But what of love, Dimple? Not that I want to have this conversation with you.” Dimple replies, “That ought to be my line, you son of a bitch.” End ID]

This next entire scene takes place when Mob asks Reigen for advice on asking a girl out and the entire scene is very aromantic. Reigen at first deflects to Serizawa and tries to get him to answer Mob's question.

[ID: A manga panel. Reigen asks Serizawa, "But there must've been some girl you liked, right?". Serizawa replies, "Nope, none." End ID]

Serizawa then tells Mob this:

[ID: A manga panel. Serizawa says, "Having someone that you like... I'm jealous. Shigeo-kun, if you feel the same no matter what anyone tells you," End ID]

What an aromantic mood

Reigen then starts to answer Mob's question.

[ID: A manga panel. Reigen looks at his flipphone while speaking to Mob. He tells Mob, "Cleanliness, look around the store, no alcohol, listen well, build the mood, smiles are important, make her heart pound, a heavy atmosphere is no good, premise of marriage, invite her to a meal, sincerity". Serizawa notices the flipphone and thinks, "Ah... He's cheating! Reigen-san doesn't know either?!!".

Mob sweats nervously at Reigen's advice. Reigen tells him, "But in the end...," he snaps his phone shut, "You don't need a strategy. If you want to form a deep connection with someone, it's no use pretending to be someone you're not." End ID]

googling romantic advice... not very allo is it

"Reigen-san's cheating!" also not a very allo response

premise of marriage (chill, mob's in middle school)

after Mob leaves the office, Reigen talks some more

[ID: A manga panel. Reigen says, "If this was about me, I probably would turn it into some cheap contest. Or rather, in my case, if I exposed my true self, I would get soundly rejected..." Serizawa notices this and nervously sweats, thinking to himself, "So Reigen-san is also pessimistic in that respect... He seems so popular with the lady clients, though..." End ID]

[ID: A manga panel. Reigen says, "Tsubomi-chan and Mob... They can exist without distorting each other... I hope I can become a partner like that..." Serizawa notices this and is surprised. End ID]

Very aromantic vibes here

The last image here is from an interview in a fanbook where Reigen is asked about his previous romantic relationships and his views on marriage.

[ID: An interview answer by Reigen from the official Mob Psycho 100 fanbook. Text over an aromantic flag reads: "In love? Me? Why are you looking at me while smiling? Do you think I'm lying to you? Oh, my. Well, I can't just talk about it casually as it would infringe on the privacy of the other party, you know. I've had a few passionate love affairs in my time. Remember that time when I held a woman on the bow of a certain huge ship? Huh? There's a similar scene in a movie? Did I remember it wrong...? Okay, let's move on.. Getting married is one of the many possible lifestyle options available to you. Follow your own heart." End ID]

How do you get more aro than this?

In conclusion, vi love aromantic Reigen for many reasons. Vi like that he is never presented with a love interest, that the show never acts like he needs one in order to function. Vi enjoy how he is an adult without romantic relationships who is not judged for or seen as incomplete without them.

He is a popular character and considered attractive (within universe and out of universe) but he is still seen as a complete person even without an intimate partnership. Vi wish we had more characters who were simply just allowed to be romanceless.

Because I have polls now, and why not? I'm curious about people's perspectives

Slide 12: A collage of multiple aromantic flags colorpicked from Reigen, including two aro, an aroace, an aro neu, a non-SAM aro, and an alloaro. In the top left corner is a drawn icon of Reigen over an aromantic flag. He smiles confidently, raises an eyebrow, and bends a wrist. The icon was drawn by @azuremist on tumblr.

Slide 13: A collage of Reigen over various aromantic flags. The first seven icons show the same image of Reigen over different flags. He smiles confidently, raises an eyebrow, and bends a wrist. The flags are: aromantic, aroace, a sparkly aro flag, a different sparkly aro flag, a sparkly alloaro flag, a colorpicked aro flag, and a color-adjusted aro flag.

The next five icons show various Reigens over the regular aromantic flag. They are: a manga Reigen with a neutral expression, Reigen looking forward with a bored expression, Reigen drinking from a mug while he is shirtless and has a towel around his neck, Reigen holding a birthday cake and trying not to cry while his eyes turn red, and Reigen talking on his flip phone and looking to the side.

The next five icons are various Reigens over sparkly aromantic flags. They are: Reigen resting his chin on his hand, sweating nervously, and smiling; Reigen closes his eyes and rests his elbow on a ledge. He is cast in shadow with a rim of light on his right side. He is not wearing his suit jacket; Reigen’s photo from his website. He sits and smiles at the camera, looking off-model; Reigen aims a gun at the viewer with an angry expression; and Reigen confidently destroys Ishiguro’s gravity spheres.

The final image on the slide is Reigen smirking at the viewer. He is over a semi-transparent aromantic flag.

[reigenisace]

love how we're the two blogs that pop up for aro mp100 and aro reigen! (also appear among the blogs for ace mp100 and ace reigen as well!)

Nice! We're out there spreading the good word

[you-can-be-what-you-want-to-be]

The fulfilling happy life for Reigen not being that he’s in control of ex claw members or his job getting easier or paying better or him getting a partner or anything and instead being him helping a bunch of children who aren’t related to him and loving all of them and also having two very good adult friends really just shows how aro he is. That’s aro behavior if I’ve ever seen it.

[chaotic-cheese-blog]

Happy Pride everyone! Here's an aro ace Reigen!

[aroaceqoutes]

When a character is just so cool but your aroace so you just sit there and just :

:D
