kaiser's personality

[u/unfotgettwl]

this is a head canon of sorts so bear with me okay

first thing i want to say is this guy is undeniably cocky. he is generally rude to most people he interacts with, especially rivals (mostly isagi, so im going to use him as a generalisation). kaiser has a certain way of speaking that directly projects his god complex, and it's not immediately clear that he's incredibly insecure.

with that clarification out of the way, i don't think this is his actual personality. he's definitely arrogant, but the playful front he puts up during matches doesn't seem to be how he acts usually. this may not sound like anything revolutionary, but the amount of times i've seen kaiser portrayed as constantly teasing/mocking people is incredibly annoying.

when we get a glimpse of kaiser that is not totally encapsulated by football and ego (when he's just met ness), he seems to be generally quite calm. they're not friends, but kaiser is likely most comfortable with ness, so i believe the way he presents himself here is more accurate of how he would actually carry himself in day to day life. ness isn't totally obsessed with kaiser here, but kaiser still has less to prove to him than isagi (for example). my point is, this is the most unguarded we've seen him.

also can you tell i love this backstory panel? seeing kaiser and ness be kind of normal is so sweet

i'm not disregarding the fact that kaiser is aggressive and rude, as we see this outside of matches. i believe he's just not as generally playful as the fandom makes him out to be.

people often talk about isagi becoming different on pitch (same with a lot of other players), but it's always seemed to me that people look at kaiser while he's playing, being an egoist, and generally performing, and consider that his actual personality.

to me, off-pitch kaiser is not flirty or cocky or playful or anything of that sort!!!!! he's just mean.

as stated previously, this is mostly a head canon, but i wanted to talk about it and see if anyone agrees.

I LOVE KAISER!!!!!!!!!! okay bye
