Character Discussion - Suzaku

[Eliarine]

Both characters have faults and redeeming points. That's what makes Code Geass interesting, as I keep saying. The problem is that some people like to focus on the good qualities of one only, and ignore them in the other entirely.

That's mostly because some (read:most) are human are naturally subjective and/or biased towards one particular point of view. In this case, that likely arises from whom they can identify better with... or who's cooler. I guess.

When angry, Suzaku reminds me of Kanda Yu from DGM (whom Sakurai also voices). Looks like Sakurai only has one "dark" tone.

But, Suzaku gives me the feeling that he felt pain whenever he had to act against Lulu. He chose to serve his lord over a friendship. That's how I see him.

Never said otherwise, but we Suzaku defenders spend more time trying to prove that he's not about to kill Nunally or baby pandas any second than actually discussing his character and it's getting tiring, so I guess I wish more people were ready to try and be objective instead of getting people like Dynastya here every week claiming we're naive and stupid and should realize that Suzaku is a bastard and should die in a fire already. The way things are going in this thread we might as well rename it the Suzaku hate thread. >_>

Suzaku killing Nunnally... Very, very unlikely. I don't think Suzaku will be provoked to that extent.

He's not?JK.

Now even though i'm a Lulu and Kallen fanboy as long as he doesn't kill either of the two i'm fine with him(if he does, i'll join Dynastya).

He might do something every so often that makes me lose it, like selling Lulu and capturing Kallen, but everytime i give myself a couple of days to calm down i suppose his actions are justified. Its just guilt by association since Brittania, a few characters aside, seems to be a moral void.

In the end i do hope the 2 let bygones be bygones and end up working together even if it is an impossible dream, because his death will hit Lulu hard.

Their feud is a more nightmare-ish spin on the Kira-Athrun feud way back in CE. But, it's infinitely better done.

Well it must be popularity since I doubt anyone can relate to either of them, sadly Suzaku seem to get the short end of this stick when it comes to this but I don't (and will never) understand people's fascination with Lelouch since I find Suzaku the more complicated and conflicted character of the two

Well, they had the guy who voiced Cloud Strife for him. If he's not tormented in some way, it's just a mis-cast on a grand scale.

Okay level with me do you really think that Kallen didn't hesitate to kill Suzaku, so how is capturing worst than that, also Lelouch had it coming it's as simple as that

As I said, humans are subjective and biased. What one person thinks to be true does not necessarily hold for the person next to him. For me, for instance, I think they are equally complex characters on different ends of the spectra.

Eveyone has some form of shitstorm heading their way due to their actions. Do i want bad stuff to happen to Lulu and Kallen? No. Do i think that they derserve it. An unconditional yes.

Suzaku has done bad stuff, Lulu has done bad stuff. No one is a saint in this show. Everyone bar Rival, Millay and Arthur has done something that they derserve to be pinished for.

I just can't empathise with Suzaku while i can with the other 2 and to be fair revolution's(in anime at least) are much more interetsing than alot of boring talking and politics that Suzaku's way would entail.

I don't believe Lelouch to be complex since we've seen what kind of character he really on several occasions, Suzaku on the other hide his true personality in a facade until Mao came into the picture and revealed what he was hiding all along even now he seems conflicted to what he truly wants a whole (the scene in episode 9 with Nina) Lelouch seems to be in the twilight of succumbing to the dark path he so gloriously admitted in episode 23 and episode 4.

Yet I'm sure some Suzaku haters would be willing to argue that he could, if the emperor gave him the order to, because he doesn't mind killing people if it's not breaking rules. Or other lovely thoughts of the kind.

Please don't.

Thanks for proving that all Lulu fanboys are not completely blind

In the end i do hope the 2 let bygones be bygones and end up working together even if it is an impossible dream, because his death will hit Lulu hard.

I kind of hope they will team up, more or less, against a greater evil in the end. Even though earlier interviews with the staff implied they wouldn't >_> And yes, his death would hit Lulu hard.

Lulu is just as complicated. Who is the real Lelouch? Is it LL the one all his friends know? LVB the former Prince? Zero the Revolutionary? Or is he a mix of all three or something completely different. He hides his true self behind so many masks and fake persona's i doubt we'll ever know what he's truly like.

"The best way to accomplish anything is my doing absolutely nothing for a long period time"

Is a quote that to the eyes of Suzaku haters is what Suzaku fans stand for

It's also likely that he himself has forgotten who he really is, just like Suzaku, who thinks he knows what he wants.

Well I can see them admitting that they lost someone important to them during their struggle (similar to Athrun and Kira) and that in order to prevent any loved ones from dying they'll work together for a better tomorrow

[yezhanquan]

Well, so far, Lulu hasn't lost someone he really cares for to the Grim Reaper. For Suzaku, that is Euphie.
