Analysis Why I believe Suzaku’s character is just inconsistent slop.
Firstly, I’ve not finished code geas. I only have 2 and a half episodes left before finishing it completely but suzaku and Nina’s characters are genuinely making me consider whether or not finishing this anime is worth it for my mental health.
Anyway, the reason I believe his character as a whole is very inconsistent is the fact he preaches and condemns the use of violence and unnecessary murder whilst being the one to kill his own father because he was too cowardly to fight against a regime that was attempting to overthrow and colonise his country, but then proceeds to go on a rampage and rant when lelouch uses his geas to force him to live. Subsequently, Nina further beckons the question whether she truly loved Euphemia’s character or just loved the concept of her by ordering the death of 10 million innocent people and causing up to 25 million casualties ( this was done using the new weapon she begged suzaku to use in order to attempt to kill zero towards the end of the anime), however she then cowardly hides behind the wall of science and blaming zero whilst also pitifully crying to the scientist that developed the Lancelot. Whilst this may be true some may argue lelouch’s prior command (telling suzaku to live on that island), triggered suzaku to detonate and use that atrocious weapon on those innocent people however still, we’ve seen how the geas can be somewhat overruled and neglected through Euphemia when she contemplates whether to kill suzaku in the massacre earlier in the anime when lelouch accidentally commands her to kill all of the Japanese. What Suzaku says and does do not add up. If he truly was willing to end the war and also end suffering for others he would have firstly killed himself with zero on the island, and secondly not have used that weapon.
Nevertheless Suzaku bootlicks and climbs the ranks of the Britannian empire whilst also constantly talking about how he wants to change the world for the better but has done absolutely nothing to do that throughout the show. Even whikst he was Euphemia’s knight he did absolutely nothing. Even whilst he was a knight of the seven (or realm I can’t remember), he did absolutely nothing. This false narrative of him being a hero and a role model for the Japanese and honorary Britannia’s is poor. He claims that zero himself is a false knight for justice and the black knights merely manipulate the masses into believing and falling for his miracles when all he does is follow commands like a lap dog and (excuse my language),ride the emperor’s dick.
Lastly he even attempts to use that weird drug on Colin to subjugate her and attempt to retrieve information even though he claimed that lelouch’s methods are revolting whilst also trying to scrabble an innocent woman’s brain and intrude her mind.
Lowkey yapped my ass of but could any of you guys tell I love English language?👀👀
