A phrase which never fails to make me cachinnate.
Jiren embodies the code of bushido, as canonically stated here. This ancient code is roughly analogous to the European concept of chivalry, which is woven into Chadren's characterization via his will to spread justice and refusal to sow seeds of discord and hurt, even at the cost of his own universe. This can be taken a step further by a knowledgeable scholar (like me and most other Jirenscholars) interpreting "chivalry" as something of a myth, as "chivalrous" knights were often very selfish and acted only for their own gain. Again this is reflected in FLAWEDren's rather selfish worldview which dismisses interpersonal relationships and friendships as weak, needless, and easily fragmented and cast asunder.
TOO, Jiren embodies the wabi-sabi philosophy, which is found in the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi. His flaws, rather than weaken and hold him back, are a part of his history, and add depth of character. Upon realizing these flaws and correcting them, NUANCEDren strengthens his very core, his essence, and transcends them, coming full-circle and completing his character art in a masterfully nuanced fashion that leaves many fascinating possibilities ripe for the future.
"J-Jiren is a boring character…"
Again: I cachinnate.

The thing that sets Jiren apart from all other antagonists is you CANNOT beat him no matter what you do. In a competition of pure strength, you are FUCKED, because this man has strength surpassing the GoDs. You are NOT going to overpower him. So what, you rely on your martial arts prowess to close the gap? NOPE. He'll just up the ante and outspeed you, completely nullifying every technique you have and matching–surpassing you–blow for blow. Okay, fuck it, it's not all about technique and raw power, right? You can just channel all your energy into an attack that far surpasses what you'd be able to do with physical blows. Oh, but look, he TANKED it. GLARED at it, stopped it in its tracks, and took NO damage. Okay, this is getting FUCKING ridiculous, so let's just go for a gimmick power that we've crafted for just such an occasion, something that defies conventional limitations of pure power output. He can't do anything if he's frozen in time, right? Well, yes, but remember the INCREDIBLE strength I mentioned earlier? Yeah, he's so fucking strong he can CRUSH TIME ITSELF just by gripping hard enough, so FUCK your pitiful gimmicks. That's it. Fuck this. It's time to call upon MC powers and pull out not one, but TWO asspull transformations that are stated to be able to defeat ANYONE. Yeah, it's a little underhanded and cheap, but now victory is assured! Except NO it's FUCKING NOT, and Jiren just OVERPOWERS the transformation by simply WILLING HIMSELF TO BECOME STRONGER.
That's it. DONE. There is NOTHING you can do. You better PRAY that if you ever come face to face with Jiren on the battlefield, it's during some stupid minigame that has ring-out rules, because otherwise you are FUCKED.

Can you fathom a side to side timeline between Tardkissless and Jiren?
We start from the optional prequel where they are both children, Goku is going great ape and beating some humans? Jiren is already beating Saiyan arc Vegeta opponents under the tutorship of Gicchin.
Tardku is beating some deformed humans like Shitmcha and some aliens like Piccolo? Jiren is already beating Frieza level opponents under Gicchin's tutorship.
Tardku is dying to jobbers like Radditz? Jiren is reaching SS2 level on his own now that he lost everything.
Tardku is now jobbing to saiyan arc Bejita? Jiren is one-shotting Cell-tier universal devourers by himself.
Tardku can FINALLY go SS and maul a slurping gecko? Jiren is already entering the realm of the GoDs and getting the attention of his universe's pantheon.
Tardku wasted a year learning a teleportation technique? In that time Jiren beat Belmond into submission, declined his offer to replace him, declined Margarita's plea to impregnate her and instead joined the Pride Troopers to serve the community.
Tardku came back and is now surrendering before Cell? Jiren meditated his way into surpassing the realm of the GoDs and can now 1v12 them.
Tardku is now dying to Jobjinbuu? Jiren is slowly but surely reaching the realm of the angels, with nothing but mortal ki.
Kisslessku has finally obtained the fabled God ki, and is making SHITrus sweat? Jiren's growth stagnates, as he is reaching the very limits of his physicality.
Tardku goes SSB and jobs to a slurping Gecko? Jiren is now researching the boundaries of quantum manipulation, as Newtonian physics is the bottleneck of his growth.
Tardku jobs to hit with SSBKK? Jiren finally has a breakthrough and can now transcend abstract concepts such as time, space and math.
And now they meet in the ToP, a lackluster jobber and the Grey God who has transcended it all. And even with the Multiverse's greatest deity on U7's side, Jiren NEVER loses a single scramble.
WOWAROOPY.

Here are the facts, bitch.
Aura Solidification: Upon focusing his astounding mental powers to a knife-sharp point and entering an esoteric state of meditation, Jiren can solidify his aura to encase him like a cocoon, a physical actualization of his titanic will and resolve. No one below Super Saiyan God level (that is, the power of the gods themselves) can damage or even approach Jiren while he is in this state, and his aura is so sturdy it can be said to be entirely impenetrable no matter what is brought against it. His might truly is otherworldly.
Concussive Air Displacement: Jiren can punch hard enough to utlize the air displacement from his blows as a weapon, far surpassing other mere Kiai attacks as his assault can leave even the most stalwart of warriors paralyzed and trembling in fear. He can use this in tandem with his Evolution Control to further bamboozle and confound his enemies.
Evolution Control: Seen when Jiren forced Goku to power down to his base form through manipulation of his fear, an emotion designed by evolution to prolong the life of a creature. With a single strike that didn't even land, Jiren was able to manipulate evolution on its basest of levels, thus forcing Goku to proverbially kneel.
FTL Travel: Using speed that astounds even the deities, Jiren can move faster than light itself, making his movements in battle nigh impossible to follow. Even Instant Transmission pales in comparison to Jiren's lunatic speed, which defies logic and allows him to counter all attacks from every conceivable angle in perfect synchronicity.
Ocular Physicality: Rather than shoot simple lasers from his eyes like most warriors, Jiren's incredible strength and indomitable will allows him to transform a mere glare into a physical, visible force that lands like a mighty blow against his opponents. This was used many times during the Tournament of Power, most notably when Jiren was able to utilize it to deflect a Spirit Bomb by merely staring at it.

All mortal life exists within certain limits. All living beings grow only within these bounds. These are the limits put unto them by nature. By Zeno himself. We may dub these parameters of growth one's limiters.
But that man… He drove himself decisively beyond all barriers. He actually succeeded in breaking his limits.
The strongest creatures in this universe are those who were already born with that potential. They simply nurture it through training or transformations. In some cases, they may gain that strength through external means, like technology or magic. Some simply are born with special powers.
But he's something else altogether. By nature, average. By nurture, average. He had no talents or biological advantages to speak of. He was the very image of Mr. Every-Ayy. And then, with hard work, and hard work alone, he broke his limits. He gained levels of powers that shouldn't be possible for mortal beings, surpassing even the Gods of Destruction."
"For me, it's Jiren the Gray. He is the quintessential embodiment of the core values of DB - self-improvement, mental acuity, discipline, and the cultivation of inner strength - and the personification of might gained through sheer hard work and determination. Consider, if you will, the fact that the Saiyans need to constantly abuse their physiology and, in certain cases, literally destroy their bodies to gain new transformations just to merely keep up with opponents who gained their power through nothing but training and perseverance. Jiren is the summit of these opponents, and not only does his well-deserved strength stand in a class of its own, it positively DWARFS the Saiyans and their shortcuts and demonstrates that only through self-discipline can one rise to the loftiest heights.
God, I love this fucking character.

What sets Jiren apart from other heroic characters are his flaws. His affliction with PTSD causes him to be antisocial and misanthropic, which contrasts heavily with the team-oriented nature of the Pride Troopers and their goals of meting out justice. His stoicism, pragmatism, and goal-oriented behavior puts him at odds with his teammates, all of whom favor cooperation and bolstering each other so as to eliminate any singular weaknesses. Jiren seeks to cultivate his strength to the point where he HAS no weaknesses, and up until the Tournament of Power, he believes he has reached that level. This is why, when he is proved wrong, he lashes out at the stands. The attack on Goku's friends is symbolic in nature, representing Jiren's attack on his own feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. The only way he knows has been turned on its head, and the only course of action available to him is to use his superior strength to grind this esoteric threat into the dust. It's a masterful and fascinating character moment for an already incredibly-nuanced and interesting character.

In many ways, Jiren serves as the personification of the themes and values that Dragon Ball Z has always stood for: self-improvement, and the cultivation of body, mind, and soul, interweaving these elements harmoniously betwixt each other until the perfect balance is achieved. This is why Roshi, even back in the original Dragon Ball, was adamant about Goku and Krillin performing various tasks that seemingly had nothing to do with fighting or martial arts, such as delivering milk and studying arithmetic.
Jiren takes these concepts and teachings and embodies them, gives to them a tangible, physical presence. That there are so many who are against Jiren and his characterization is just further proof that many Super "fans" don't understand Dragon Ball Z at all, and are indeed simply jumping on the DBZA/Super bandwagon. Jiren and Super don't seek to exclude the series or defame its roots; they instead seek to enrich them, provide them with the necessary nutrients to continue growing. Only the thinking man and true Dragon Ball Z fan understands this, which is why Jiren is such a polarizing character.
I, for one, applaud Toriyama's vision and decision to coalesce all the elements of this great series into one fascinating, complex, rich, and deeply-nuanced character.
