I wonder how all the folks who really thought Reigen was Claws' boss last week are feeling right about now? :lol
The animation near the end of the episode was freaking mesmerizing.

Not even mad about the swerve because Reigen was more of a boss doing his normal stuff than if he was a super esper.
Im not even mad. He calls "kids who failed to grow up" a bunch of crazy fucks with world domination intent. He is cool.

Top notch episode as usual.
My one question is what that aura was at the end of episode 10. I was thinking that if Reigen tricked everyone, he would have had to fake that aura somehow. But I don't remember the aura being addressed at all in episode 11.

Yet another great episode. Reigen tricking Claw without even actually trying is great. Next episode is going to be amazing though probably won't be what you suspect. I hope this will get another cour.

To be fair, the ones sensing the aura were the useless psychic kids who don't seem all that skilled at sensing such things in the first place considering Ritsu

Yeah, but I guess I had the impression in episode 10 that the aura was so strong, even the useless psychic kids could sense it.
Well, technically we've never seen him truly swindle someone out of their money. Most leave him pretty happy after all, unlike those antique sellers.

I went from "fucking Reigen..." to "fuckin' REIGEN!" to "fuck... Reigen".
God damn.
God damn.
I had some doubts ("wait is he really the boss?") but this went in about the direction I expected from last week. I only flinched because the way some manga readers were talking and hinting, it seemed like I was supposed to take the "twist" at face value rather than as a con by THE con man himself. I will say though, my opinion of Reigen has improved substantially from the first episode. I thought he was going to be an annoying sleaze and that frankly put me off from the show at the start. Seeing how things have developed have been a pleasant surprise.
Next week's episode is the last of the season right? Let's see how real shit gets :O

I don't know man, even if the ghosts are fake sometimes, the customers leave satisfied. I think the point that's being made is not every curse is literal.
Also, Reigen is GOAT.

An understandable mistake really
That moment where Mob
was about to kill someone then Reigen comes and holds his face to cool him down and the flashback where they meet for the first time
Really hope we get a Season 2. Please Bones.

Those kids are crummy espers and I'm willing to believe mistook the insane aura of fear for actual power from Reigen.
The only thing that I was a bit uncertain on was that aura red herring from the previous episode, but I guess I could see that the overall perception Reigen had from coming into the building like he did and the fact that the kid's abilities are pretty bad would mean it was a mistake on his part.
The fact that the viewers were lead to believe that he was the boss at the end of the last episode even though he wasn't adds to the fact that it wasn't a "twist," since that's what the other idiots were lead to believe without proper context, too. It was really cool seeing Reigen deal with just about everyone in this episode, in his totally oblivious but still confident manner.
I don't know if he's actually dead here but, man, either way Mob's obviously not gonna be too into that. It's sad that there's only 1 more episode to look forward to.

I went back to the end of episode 10 and I really wish Reigen didn't say "Yeah, I'm the Boss," and the ending dialogue was instead more nebulous like he was acting towards the guards in this episode, by never actually outright lying. It would have been perfect if he did that, and people still grasped onto the fact that it was his face and the mob mentality lead everyone to think he was actually the boss for a week.
That post-credit scene and Reigen flat out telling the viewers that he's THE big bad in the next episode preview is top-tier trolling. It was really funny to me because I already read the manga. And due to the nature of his character, I think he can get away with just lying to the viewers like that. It's a pretty nice hook to get one to look forward to the next episode!
I think it was smart for them to do it too since we don't really know much about Reigen other than him being a conman who serves as comic relief, and there is only a couple of episodes left which not a lot of time to really get to know this character. I love this show

That whole final scene was great, and the next episode might be even more insane. God damn can't wait.
Both the flashback and the current scene with Reigen an Mob are touching because underneath the scumminess and him using Mob he actually has grown to like him and try to protect him. Like he's never seen what a pissed off Mob can do and sees how crazy the fight is going and here he is giving Mob solid advice about life and controlling your feelings.
Next episode is going to be insane.

There is plenty of content for another season. Problem is if it is popular enough.

The "aura" is just the atmosphere of his presence. He has such an air of confidence that it really did feel like he was the boss of the CLAW. That's how good of a con artist Reigen is

Fantastic episode. Reigen just gets better the more screen time he has. I can't believe there is only one episode left

By the way, is that Teru's real hair or is it still part of his wig? If it's real then his hair seemed to grow back a bit quickly. Though I'd imagine the wig would have a flat top if most of it got sliced off.

seems like the wig, he cut it off so it wasn't as tall.
