* EntertaininglyWrong: He falsely comes to the conclusion that sabotaging his potential relationship with the other participants as a way to outwit the mastermind is the optimal solution for the Killing School Semester. As he discovers in Chapter 5, this was a very false ideal on his part since it's what leads to him brutally DyingAlone and no one in the cast liking him or trusting him.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He occasionally helps the students and puts on an unconvincingly friendly tone during the trials, despite taunting them mere moments before, or at worst, plotting an indirect serial murder. Also, when Kaito explains his reason for his assisted suicide plan at the end of Chapter 5 (in his alleged attempt to stop the killing game), Kokichi ends up being so completely untrustworthy according to him that he doesn't trust his words on why, and he also intentionally phrases said motives in a rather vague way.

* {{Jerkass}}: Kokichi spends the whole game gleefully antagonizing and manipulating the other killing game survivors, interfering with the trials, and even comes up with a gambit that causes the deaths of two other participants, then spends his last moments getting Kaito involved in a plot that leads to his execution after blackmailing him into killing him, resulting in him being TheFriendNobodyLikes that ''also'' ends up hated even after death. While he does have some admirable moments, most of them are really only pragmatic and he still continues the same mischievous behavior in the process.

The "heart of gold" part requires attitude and intention to make it distinct from the "jerk" part. Considering that, he does not count into the "soft side" bit.

Needless to say, the cast ends up not forgiving him for pulling a dirty trick.
