  • Diagnosed by the Audience: Souichi Negishi is timid and kind, but in his Krauser II costume he can be a sex-addicted Jerkass without any restraints. It's implied that it's always Negishi, as he often uses the Krauser's identity to stop his fans from going overboard with his inner monologue explaining it, and he just needs a push to stop worrying what other people think. Still, he shows increasing signs of dependence on it, and rotates between finding being in DMC miserable or fun, which many readers call having a Split Personality.
  • Fanon: The entire story of Krauser II's life, as well as his various "special techniques", are made up by his fans. Often on the spot when he does something new and interesting.
  • So Bad, It's Good:
    • In The Movie in after the climactic Cluster F-Bomb battle with Jack ill Dark, Negishi realizes that his crush Yuri is in the audience. So instead of playing one of his DMC songs, he plays one of his ultra-saccharine songs: "Amai Koibito" (Sweet Lover). As Krauser. The entire audience cringes in pain throughout the entire performance. One of his fans comes to the conclusion that this must be a demon's love song and proceeds to cheer for him.
    • And the lyrics... oh god the lyrics. Every band is guilty of horrible lyrics either put through a translator or intentionally so badly written as to give you an aneurysm.
