Buggy is very vain and egotistical and seeks to be glorified and feared by others. He does not spend much of his time improving his own abilities to become a powerful fighter but rather focuses mainly on recruiting powerful subordinates who do the hard work while simultaneously being subjected to him. Whenever someone strokes his ego, even if it is due to an inaccurate impression of him, Buggy will revel in it and start getting delusions of grandeur.
