Suzaku Kururugi, love him or hate him?

I wish the worst possible eternal torture upon that piece of human filth. Death is too good for him.

JabonHR said:
He was alright. I never felt any strong emotion toward him, and I still don't really see why he's hated that much. Then again, I don't really understand why people hate Rossiu from TTGL either, so maybe I'm just not prone to hating that many characters.

There are so many reasons to hate them I don't even know what to say to y ou

Aobama said:
Am I the only person who really, REALLY loves Suzaku? I don't even know why, i just love him so much.

Zadion said:
I don't see why people hate him either. He was a man of extreme justice and morale and, for the most part, acted exactly like you'd expect a man of extreme justice and morale to act. I can't say I particularly loved the guy, but I will say that he REALLY earned my respect at the end of the second season.

Plus, the dynamic tragedy of two best friends facing each other on the battlefield and coming to detest each other because of it is one of my favorite things about the series.



Additionally, Suzaku's methods were sure as hell a lot more reliable than Lelouch's. There's no man in the real world who could possibly succeed with Lulu's methods, whereas Suzaku's are legitimate. The best way to change the system is to infiltrate it.

I think the main reason people hate Suzaku is because the story is told through Lelouch's perspective, and Suzaku is just the character consistently getting in Lulu's way. If it was told through Suzaku's perspective instead, I bet people would feel differently.

I didn't hate Suzaku, but his ideal/philosophy made me cringe inside.
He was very naive.

not really lelouches ideals made me cringe

suzaku is more realistic

tsudecimo said:

No he is not.

Lelouch is more realistic than Suzuaku. He embodies a lot of human flaws.

tsudecimo said:
I excepted a weird ass reply, and I wasn't disappointed, lol.

more like you haven't got anything to back it up

I never knew the true meaning of hate until I watched him on this anime.....

tsudecimo said:

I agree, you destroyed me with logic. Lulu is really the worst.

Animefreak17a said:
yeah lelouch is the worst

jose21 said:


Seriously???????
I thought it was pretty obvious I was talking about Suzaku. I mean the discussion is about Suzaku, so I find it hard to understand why would you talk about Lelouch on this discussion.
Are you perhaps tsundere for Lelouch and that's why you brought up Lelouch on this discussion???

Don't worry. Animefreak17a is just jealous that all hail Lelouch and hate the bloody idiot Suzaku. It's a phase.

Animefreak17a said:


no more like lelouch is a coward that make people fight his battles for him or has powers to help him unlike suzaku who fghts his own battles and doesn't have any powers to help him.

lelouch got his arse beaten by suzaku in a fight and cried like a little bitch when his father gave him new memories........funny as hell that scene

RedRoseFring said:


Don't worry. You will come around eventually. It is only a matter of time, but you will soon be "All Hail Lelouch" with us.

To me I feel the hate towards suzaku may be unjustified. Honestly everything everyone said in this forum about him can be applied to lelouch. The thing about him being a hypocrite, he never once strayed from why he believed in. The thing about him killing his father, was to prevent Japan from entering indefinite warfare. The thing about him betraying lelouch, friendship was should have been thrown away since the day lelouch killed euphie. The selfish reason why he fights, lelouchlelouch did it for his sister and revenge, kallen did it for her brother and revenge so why can't suzaku be selfish. The thing about betraying Japan, last time I checked lelouch was from Britannia and kallen is half britannia and they killed other britannians like nothing. The thing about him being a tool, that can be said about everyone who serves under someone in any army. They talk about suzaku doing a complete 180 to join lelouch, what about when lelouch was supposed to be a Japanese revolutionary but instead became britannians king and colonized everywhere, talk about where your loyalties lie.

Honestly, suzaku was the most interesting and realistic character up in that anime. People liked lelouch more cause he played his arrogant, god-complex role well. Suzaku coulda done a lot more harm in this series, but he always showed compassion for those close to him. They said he wouldn't be where he is without lelouch?? Lelouch wouldn't be where he is without CC and supernatural powers. Suzaku understood his actions, he knew the world couldn't be changed easily, so he chose what I though was his best option. His skill alone brought him to the Knights table. He wasn't as privileged as lelouch and the others in Britannia, so he did what he had to do to rise.

They say his methods would never bring change, but I think with time he could have brought change to Japan. I cannot justify lelouch killing millions of people for his own "change" and then condemn suzaku doing the same, even to a lesser degree than lelouch had.

As far as I know, suzaku suffered most in this series. He fought his way to the top without supernatural powers, he never killed lelouch's girlfriends, he didn't lead both britannians and elevens to their death like lelouch and he had to suffer the pain of being forced to live when everything he cared for was gone just because of lelouch selfishness. Lelouch only told him to live so he wouldn't end up dying with him. And then lelouch took the easy way out by dying and left the burden of being zero all on suzaku. I mean you can't have a normal life after being charged to be the worlds protector.

So don't hate a character who in all honesty was more important than the main character. He kept on interupting lelouch cus it was his job, if he didn't other people would've just stepped up to do so.

If you do think I'm wrong however and feel like his actions are wrong, hit me up and I'll prove you wrong. But before you do, ask yourself if you have the guts to sacrifice your father for the betterment of others or would you rather destroy the world just because you're angry at your father??
