## Personality

Kaiser is shown as an arrogant young man who has a superiority complex. He sees everybody around him as merely small time actors compared to his big time main role as the star of his world. Though he is arrogant and slyly rude to people he sees as beneath him he is not unnecessarily rude to his teammates but will put them in their place when they unnecessarily speak out even if it's for his sake. Even though Kaiser is arrogant and rude, he knows when to control himself around people who are definitively better and superior to him, such as his team leader and the best striker in the world, Noel Noa.

After the match against the Ubers, Kaiser was immensely frustrated when he lost to Isagi a second time. Originally, he joined Bastard Munchen because it was the quickest way to get into Re Al, but now he cannot just leave the Neo Egoist League after losing to Isagi.

Kaiser believes that the moment people believe things are impossible, they are programmed to give up. Those who sacrifice their talent in exchange for living long and tedious lives are the ones he hates the most.

Before, Kaiser was a mentally weak person who constantly gave up on things he believed to be impossible. To remind himself to never again too fall into that weak mindset, he got a blue rose tattoo on his neck, which he believes symbolizes the achievement of the impossible.

## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Clinical Finisher**: Clinical finishers are forwards that specialize in their accurate shooting ability. They are "clinical", in that they need few opportunities to score a goal being able to strike and place the ball exactly where it will beat the goalkeeper. They can be identified by their high goal to shots ratio. Clinical strikers usually play as center forwards though other attacking players can often be said to be clinical finishers.
With an omnipotent vision, high football IQ, the fastest kick speed in the world and a powerful shot to match, Kaiser is the ace scorer for Bastard München. Kaiser is easily able to get into an ideal scoring position, receive any kind of pass, and create space for himself when pressured by the opposition to score effortless and illogical goals.

### Skills

* **Professional Football Technique**: Kaiser is regarded as a genius player in the professional world of football. He plays football for one of the best teams in the world as the main striker. His skills are highly respected by teammates, opposing teams, club owners, investors, and even the best striker in the world. His skill and technique is so high level that his team's style of play and philosophy revolve around him and his style of play.

* **Off-the-Ball Movements**: A term used to describe the moments where players are not in possession of the ball.
Kaiser uses these moments to position himself where he can always receive a pass, whether in his opponents’ or teammates' blind spots. When marked by a defender, Kaiser always runs towards the course most troublesome to his opposition and then immediately steps in the opposite direction of their center of gravity to bypass them finding an open position for himself.

* **Metavision** (超越視界 (メタ・ビジョン) , *Meta Bijon*?, Transcendence Sight): A term used to describe a player's evolved vision that gives them an omnipotent perspective of the field. Using his eyes to constantly take in information from his central and peripheral vision, Kaiser constantly collects data on every player, every play they make, and their positions on the field; mixed with his high football IQ, Kaiser is able to interpret that data and use it to heighten every move he makes to unpredictable levels and find opportunities before others can. This ability escapes the logic of even the most highly advanced football players. Mixed with his other abilities, Kaiser is able to dominate the field creating illogical opportunities born from his vision.

* **Predator Eye**: Described as a complete opposite of Metavision, instead of expanding his vision, Kaiser drastically narrows it down in order to score a goal. Kaiser uses Predator Eye to find the smallest of gaps for a shot course, when aiming and shooting his Kaiser Impact.

* **Kaiser Impact** (皇帝衝撃波 (カイザーインパクト) , *Kaizā Inpakuto*?): With the fastest kick swing speed in the world, Kaiser will uses his god given talent to take a volley shot that is so fast most people aren't able to track the ball as it flies into the net. When used in tandem with his Metavision and Predator Eye, Kaiser is able to fearlessly score near impossible shots with extreme accuracy. His shot has the speed and power to pass by the heads of five defenders in front of the goal and the goalie with pinpoint accuracy into the goal.
	+ **Kaiser Impact *Beinschuss***: While in midair, Kaiser uses the Kaiser Impact in the form of a bicycle kick. The ball then nutmegs under a defender, bounces off the ground, and lands a goal without loosing any speed. "*Beinschuss*" means "nutmeg" in German.
	+ **Lightning Strike:** This is when Kaiser performs a Kaiser impact while the ball is on the ground. Lorenzo was able to read the course of the shot and managed to block it with his face even though it was a Kaiser Impact, most likely do to it not being a volley which is Kaiser's preferred shot.

## Trivia

* His morning routine consists of: standing before the mirror naked, gazing at himself while having a conversation (to himself), getting into the mindset that nothing is impossible, and then smiling while thinking 'this is me'.

## Etymology

* The name **Michael** means "gift from God".
* Michael's surname, **Kaiser**, means "emperor or a ruler higher than a king".
* Michael Kaiser's name can therefore be interpreted as **"God's chosen emperor"**.
