Strategy/Usage
Aku Researcher's main usage is to break Aku enemies' Shields, as, effectively, a successful Shield Piercing can be considered equivalent to a sometimes massive amount of damage. Unlike most other Shield Piercers, he doesn't require gacha or expensive NP upgrades. Against Metals, his damage, single target, and chances make him inefficient compared to other specialized Critters like Catasaurus, Catornado, and Space Cat. This means that Aku Researcher's usage is mostly limited to occasionally piercing Shields, where damage matters none compared to proc rate. You will also have to protect and time him well since he dies quite easily, even with his many knockbacks. Due to his single target, he will also need to be supported by other attackers to clear peons from his path and give him a clear shot at Aku Shields. With proper support, he can outrange and pierce even Fallen Bear, being one of the best ways of dealing with it.

Appearance
- Normal Form: A tiny stick figure with a sign. Appears nearly identical to Angel Fanboy, except his sign says Aku instead of Angel.
- Evolved Form: Aku Researcher's infernal insights have twisted him into a Aku himself! Now blue and with a small pair of horns. Spikes surround the text on his sign, which is now pixelated and upside-down, reading "Cat Queen will open the door to the Devil World." when flipped vertically.

Trivia
- The writings on Evil Aku Researcher's sign read as upside-down katakana saying, "Cat Queen will open the door to the Devil World." The Cat Queen in reference is, of course Empress Cat, whose description reads "With her vast intellect (and forbidden spellbooks), she has guided the Cat Kingdom to a golden age."
- Aku Researcher's sign says that "Akus" ignore anti-Floating attacks, but descriptions such as Aku Doge's and Lilin's have consistently used "Aku" as the plural of Aku.
- Unlike Ms. Sign and Angel Fanboy, Aku Researcher has the text on his sign translated between English and other languages that can be chosen, such as Spanish and French. This does not, however, apply to Evil Aku Researcher, whose sign is in Japanese regardless of version or language.
- As a result, Aku Researcher is the only unit whose appearance changes at all between these languages.
