First I didn't have an opinion about him, then I really liked him and cried over him and Euphie. Then I wasn't sure at the end of the series. second season though I keep bouncing back between finding him facinating and loathing him.

Though because I have come to hate him, I think he's become a much more interesting character because of it, if that makes sense.

I voted for... "Ok so he is a little self-righteous and naïve but he means well…"

I like Suzaku as a pilot and as a character too.... he kicks ass!
His ideals are way over the top though... makes him look like an idiot ^^; Lulu's ways are more substantive though.

Suzaku was always a hypocritical bastard that could never hold to his words. He preaches a hell lot but never was he able to perform them himself. The main reason he despises the methods of Zero is because he can never accept that what he did before was clearly a mistake. This is probably why he would never agree that Britannia's defeat is possible since that would clearly make the fact that he murdered his own father a BIG mistake. What he believes to be the only way out for Japan would be betrayed the moment Britannia is defeated.


Spot on. I think no matter what, this is what all his preaching tries to hide. If the illusion that Britannia isn't invincible is shattered, then he has to stare down the idea that that he killed his father for nothing. And I don't think he's capable of that.

Anyway...I try not to jump on the "hate" bandwagon for any character, but no matter how you look at it, Suzaku's wrong. See, I get that people think he's just idealistic and misguided, but I'm an idealist and I think he's wrong. Not because he's naive, but because of the country he's defending. Its like he ignored the speech Charles Di Britannia gave at Clovis' death. Everything that came out of that guy's mouth were the very principles Britannia was founded on. And that's your problem. You can't change a kingdom that's corrupt from its very foundation. That's like trying to care for a tree that's dead at the roots.

Lelouch's actions are the right ones. You don't try to change a kingdom like that. You raze it to the ground and create a new one. And anyone that stands in his way, no matter what their *words* are, their actions indicate they condone EVERYTHING Britannia has done and is doing and will do.

Granted, I'm not saying Lelouch is a good guy. But, give it time...there's some things you've all overlooked. :)

Not exactly how I would phrase it but, meh.

Such a one-sided poll, lol. Not that I'm surprised. Don't get me wrong, there are people who hate Suzaku for genuine reasons, and I respect that, but there are way too many people just jumping on the hate bandwagon. Suzaku is an amazing character, but I've pretty much learned to accept the hate since I've been incoherently flamed way too many times for defending him.

I almost hated him, but I remembered something; his hatred is always towards zero and never Lelouch, even if he used Nunnally. He still thinks Zero's Geass to Euphie was deliberate and that made him detest Zero.

He's betting on Nunnally to make all the difference once and for all. His goal is more or less the same with Zero, albeit with a different tactic.

Can't say I really hate him, lol.

i was wondering if i hate him, or just dislike him, but now that i think about it i come to the conclusion, that i hate him from the deepest point of my heart. this hypocritical bastard just f***s up every plan of lelouch just because hes got the better knightmare. he must be just so stupid, because the britannians treat him like shit the whole time and he let them do it. he even would open his mouth if a britannian would say "open your mouth, i want to spit into it". and his answer for this is, that he wants to change area 11 from within. this is just too dumb!!!!
and more than that he treatens his best friend, who helped him out in so many situations (death penalty rescue as zero) the worst. i just dont get it.
for example there are characters like xing ke or schneizel, which i really sympathize with, even if they are on the wrong side but suzaku has to die very soon! PLS!

Come to think of it, he's pretty similiar to Nina. They both refuse to come to terms with their faults and cling onto some pathetic idea or person to take the blame for them. Japan for Suzaku, Euphy for Nina. Personally, I think he shouldn't die. He should be brought crashing down by the weight of his sins at the feet of our favorite Byronic hero.

Wasn't Suzaku sorta brainwashed by Emperor Charles? Hmmm... Also Suzaku still thinks Zero was the one that killed Euphie (or let Euphie kill the Japanese) I think that was the actual start of his hatred for Zero. Hypocritical also, (but who isn't really) and he also had a screwed up childhood. He's also hated by both Japanese and Britannia at some point, hated mainly by Britannia in the first season for becoming a honorable guard. Not like he can be a good guy with all those screwed up experiences. Meh.

I actually want Suzaku to change so he can fight against Britannia, but that's probably unlikely, rofl... since Euphie died and all that, don't think he can ever forgive Zero, and Lelouch probably knows it as well.

That's exactly it though. He does hate Lulu. >_> Ever since he found out about Lulu being Zero, he practically hates his guts. And geez, Suzaku is such a freaking idiot.

Suzaku and Lelouch have similar goals, Suzaku just has a different way of going about them. And watching your best friend shoot your love has got to screw you up.

I think the dynamic between Suzaku is interesting, and important to the show. I'm glad he's in the show, as much as I may yell at him while I'm watching him.

Plus, he looks to much like Syaoran to hate him ;) (Ah, Clamp~)

He's a self-righteous bastard, and his personal sense of justice doesn't make any sense, well in the first season anyway. Now, his motives are more taking Lelouch down slowly and painfully orientated, so that smooths the edges over a little, but I still don't like him at all.

If he wants what's best for Japan then why is he fighting for Britannia? I'm pretty sure it's become painfully obvious that the Emperor doesn't give a shit about the Japanese. "Oh no, I'm gonna change it from the inside." No you're not, you're just a tool you dumb f*ck!

i hate nina even more. i hated her from the moment, she freaked out at the hotel incident, when an eleven wanted to grab her arm. shes freaking out the whole time for no real reason!! even if shes got nearly no screen time she knows how to make people (or only me) hate her in only this little amount of time. if i had the the opportunity to use geass on her i would advise her to kill herself in a very cruel way! sorry for that but it had to get out :P.

I like him.

I feel like he and Lelouch are heading toward similar goals, but in completely different ways. Suzaku wants to do it the 'legal way', while Zero wants to burst in, take control and do it his way.

Suzaku also really hasn't done anything that bad. Sure, he's done some things that would make him seem like a traitor, but he's just doing what he feels is right. How can you knock a guy for standing by his beliefs?

If Lelouch can be responsible for the slaughtering of thousands of Japanese people and still be well liked, I think we can cut Suzaku a little slack.

Not even going to start about why I don't understand how so many people hate him, after reading a bit of this thread I still don't get it.
Suzaku is arguably the most interesting character in the show, and the 'faults' that have been described just emphasize that. Do you people not realize how similar him and Lelouch are? Both of their methods are flawed, neither is wholly right or wrong, and they have the same common goals, at least in S1. From ep1 he was instantly endearing and my love for him just grew since then. I love you, Suzaku, even if you are a grumpy bastard right now.

[Plus, he's always in the top 20 in character polls, I don't see how Western fandom doesn't get it.]

I don't really like him but there isn't really a reason for me to hate him. He did nothing wrong, he just wanted to make change from the inside out. Which is futile but the I guess moral thing to do? Lulu is a siscom and seems like he could really give a crap about the Japanese to get to his goal. Really I just care about the women they're hot. The end.

He's trying to do it the LEGAL way from INSIDE the SYSTEM?
I think LEGAL and INSIDE LAW AND ORDER went out of the window when he MURDERED the legal leader of Japan, his own father, the prime minister and the LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOYAL TO. He's a nonsensical bastard who protects the ones who charge into Japanese slums and massacre civilians on the notion that he can change things from the inside, which he is too busy fighting to do. And even if he had time he could do nothing, it would all depend on people like Euphemia, because Britannian society doesn't give a shit what he thinks.
I know he's under a Geass but the fact that he defends his actions means he's taken them on himself, logically, in his line of reasoning, which is deeply flawed and morally repulsive. Whether he knows or not he should atone for killing his father by supporting the rebellion, not fighting it.
He is the perfect example of the more benevolent end result of humanism. A giant carebear protecting the murderers of the world from the enraged masses.


I hate him with the fire of a thousand burning suns.


Lelouch is completely different. His morals and goals are coherent. As far as possible he will not sacrifice on the means to achieve the ends, he will not commit atrocities and he makes mistakes occasionally and can be selfish (Nunnally) but he is the ideal of a virtuous resistance fighter.

Suzaku's worldview only makes sense if the genocidal racist bastard of the Britannian empire are supermen who can never be beat. Only THAT would make it sensible to never try to stop them even when they massacre your loved ones and fellow citizens in the name of Social Darwinism!

Well..... I hate Suzaku and for all hes doing, standing in Zero's way, selling his best friend 2 gain a higher status, etc.

Look one of the biggest reasons Suzaku rlly hates lulu is bcuz of Euphie's death. Of course from his point of view he would b furious but if he ever knew lulu's side(the first person he luved in a romantic way was Euphie, he supported her proposal about the japan thing, he geassed her unintentionally) I think he might have still been Lulu's friend but if he hears his story now its pretty much hopeless -__-. Suzaku rite now is only being used as usual and he accepts that w.e.. His excuse about changing from within is stupid. His attitude has completely changed from season 1 and is now one of those characters that have solid feelings and hardly show happiness. I can understand while hes like that but man wtf ur whole personality has changed cuz of the event. Lulu lost Shirley and was 10x sad as Suzaku was when Euphie died and lulu was betrayed by his best friend, Lulu is nearly going 2 lose his sister, Lulu has a fake brother, Lulu is nearly about 2 lose his whole Order as of rite now, Lulu has found out that the man he wanted 2 kill all these years cant be killed as of now(unless he finds a way), Lulu's mother was killed by his father who also threw him out, . U dont see Lulu acting all emo tho many times he let his anger get the best of him but Suzaku as of now is acting all serious and no more Mr. Smiley Justice guy anymore. He fuels his anger towards Lulu which has changed his whole personality. Lulu has fuel for his anger but still remains himself. That is one of the biggest reasons I really dont like Suzaku but his reasons for his actions MAY be understandable but as of rite now I still ahte him and the only way I think I might start liking him again if he hates lulu less tho i doubt that'll ever happen

You know, who would, in all honesty, believe Lulu's side in the "Princes Euphemia" incident? You are just gonna believe he made a "joke" order and ended up geassing her for real? When that Geass order ended up leading to the Black Rebellion incident, which could have lead to the collapse of Area 11 and the victory of the Black Knights? Yeah, right...I'm totally on Lulu's side here. *rolleyes* We know because we saw it, but if Suzaku had believed that lame "excuse", I would have yelled foul.

Suzaku is too idealistic and naive, but he's far more humane than Lelouch. Lulu is just selfish, period, he's just in a personal war against his dad.

Just a little comment about Suzaku killing his father. Japan addopted a kamikaze strategy at the very end of the war. It means, they were gonna fight until the very last japanese was dead. This would have meant more blood spilt on a "lost" fight, and the possibility of the war dragging out further, and external countries like the Chinese Federation and Europe involving themselves in the fight and then taking their piece of the spoils of war. Basically, japan was lost no matter what, so better to surrender there with no more losses than sacrifice more innocent lives. That's the reasoning behind him murdering his father.
