Personalities[]
As they are complete outsiders to the idol fandom. They were at first they are confused and irritated when their announced metal concert turns out to be a front for an idol group, only to quickly come to love the girls and their work throughout the series.
They have stayed with Franchouchou since the first and somewhat disastrous performance at Geils. Even by the time, the girls hit rock bottom in Revenge, these two still refuse to give them up. Taken to another level in the first episode of Revenge, where they team up with Kotaro to animate an encore by Franchouchou, despite the angry crowd that was already beginning to assault Kotaro for his tireless cheers. Even going so far as to fight alongside Kotaro as they outnumbered just so Franchouchou could perform their song without being booed off the stage.
Bull is noted to be somewhat of a masochist, as when he sees Saki kicking Takeo, he says that this is why Number 2 is the best in his opinion and states that it must be nice for her to kick him while blushing.
