And therefore, he killed Genbu Kururugi. His father's allies covered up the murder, calling it a suicide, making his father out to be a coward rather than put the blame on his son. Because of what he did, Suzaku has a deep rooted desire to die, often putting himself in harms way to facilitate this act.
Seven years after the invasion, Suzaku was serving the Britannia army in Area 11 - the area formerly known as Japan, with its people being named "Elevens" - as a foot soldier.
He was deployed to the Shinjuku Ghetto when a group of terrorist fighters stole a device from Britannia, which they believed was a biological weapon. His old friend, Lelouch, accidentally got involved in it, appearing to be a terrorist. Without either knowing the other's identity, he attacked Lelouch.
When the two realized who the other was, they stopped fighting. Suddenly, the device was activated. But it turned out not to be a weapon, but a mysterious woman. A group of soldiers came to the scene in order to take the girl back. Suzaku was ordered to prove his loyalty by shooting Lelouch, which he refused to do. He, himself, was shot by his commanding officer, allowing Lelouch to escape.
He was saved by his father's pocket watch, which he kept in in his pocket. Despite Suzaku's "Eleven" status, he was given the key, launching into battle with terrorists. Unknown to him, however, the terrorists were being led by his friend Lelouch. Once more, the two fought without either of them knowing their identities.
Lelouch escaped, as did most of the terrorists. Soon after, Lelouch confronted and executed his half-brother, Prince Clovis, using his new found power. Suzaku was framed for the murder, escorted to trial for treason, where he himself would undoubtedly be executed. However, he was rescued by Lelouch - who had begun using the identity "Zero" - who took the blame for the murder. Despite the rescue, Suzaku proclaimed his faith in the system, not wanting to go against the Britannian Empire.
He said that Zero's methods were too extreme and would lead to more bloodshed, deciding that he himself would be better off changing Britannia from the inside. He left Zero, never knowing that Lelouch was the one who wore the mask. Suzaku was acquitted, partially due to lack of evidence - though mostly because of Zero's proclamation. As he left his trial, he found a girl named Euphy who claimed she was running from some men.
He accompanied her around Tokyo, slowly coming to love the girl. As the day concluded, he came on Jeremiah Gottwald - who had come under scrutiny after being blamed for something called "Orange," a bluff Zero made up - who was being attacked by Britannian soldiers for treason.
He rescued Jeremiah using the Lancelot. During the battle, Euphy came to the battlefield and ordered a halt to the fighting, revealing her identity to be Euphemia li Britannia, princess and sub-viceroy of Area On Euphy's request, because she herself never got to finish school, she asked that Suzaku go to the Ashford Academy. He was not accepted by the other students due to the fact that he was an Eleven.
It so happened that this was the same place where Lelouch went. The two discussed that Lelouch was in hiding, going under the name Lelouch Lamperouge in order to hide he and his sister's status was royalty.
To secure his and Nunnally's safety, they decided not to reveal their friendship, keeping distance. However, Lelouch did not wish this, and soon revealed their friendship to the school. Soon after, Suzaku was - for the most part - accepted, especially by the Student Council, which Lelouch was vice president of and Suzaku joined.
Suzaku and Euphemia had gained something of a relationship. Euphemia, despite Suzaku's status as an Eleven, made Suzaku her personal Knight. Suzaku engaged in many battles fighting against the terrorists led by Zero - who became known as the "Black Knights. He also fought with classmate Kallen Kozuki, one of the few pilots capable of contending with Suzaku in Knightmare combat.
During a battle, Lancelot and Zero Lelouch faced each other. During the battle, the Britannian commanders decided it best to sacrifice Suzaku if it meant killing Zero, and therefore the blasted the area.
During the engagement, Zero gave Suzaku the order to "live," causing Suzaku to do everything in his power to survive the event. Suzaku and Kallen were sent to one side, whereas Zero and Euphemia were sent to the other.
During their time on the island, Euphemia discovered Zero's identity, and the two discussed politics and ideologies as they tried to figure out a way off the island. However, in forcing Suzaku to join, the player angers Lelouch, who wanted to recruit Suzaku without using Geass. Lelouch puts Rai into an eternal sleep, resulting in a game over. The player may choose to pursue Suzaku as a friend by joining the Britannian military. He may use his own Geass to stop Euphemia from ordering the infamous massacre portrayed in episode under Lelouch's accidental Geass.
After ordering the Princess to stop and then ordering the crowd to forget her order, Euphemia's plan to create the Special Zone of Japan succeeds. Rai and Suzaku are then known as the new country's two White Knights. In the Black Knights path, if Rai stops Princess Euphemia from following through with Lelouch's accidental Geass an alternate version to episode , Suzaku who is standing nearby will catch the princess as she suddenly collapses. She wakes up in his arms without any recollection of being under the control of Lelouch's Geass.
In the manga spin-off series, Suzaku's appearance is changed slightly. Some parts of his hair are down, and his eye colour is blue instead of green. Both his knight outfit and his pilot outfit are also customized with a blue samurai arm gauntlet. Suzaku first appeared in chapter 7 of the manga series, and has received approval from Schneizel for Euphemia to have Suzaku as her knight. In the manga, Suzaku is shown to have an ability to sense the power of other people with Geass. He is almost defeated when engaging Nunnally 's Mark Nemo, and fought Mark Nemo on several occasions.
Suzaku in Nightmare of Nunnally discovers Zero's identity far earlier than in the Anime. He is rescued by Zero and, despite his mistrust of Zero due to the knowledge of the identity , helps him make Euphemia the Empress of Britannia.
Having lost his original Lancelot, Suzaku deploys the Lancelot Albion against the Emperor's Knights of Rounds a bunch of immortal zombies. Suzaku and his Albion are almost defeated, but are saved by Charles' defeat. Suzaku remains as Euphemia's knight at the end of Nightmare of Nunnally. In the manga spin-off series shows Suzaku as the main protagonist, wearing a bionic combat suit and going by the alias Lancelot. Suzaku also develops a close friendship with Lloyd's assistant Mariel Lubie, and later meets her father, Lenard Lubie, who requested Suzaku to take care of her.
After a renegade Black Knights faction had attacked the Lubie automobile, which killed Lenard and injuring Mariel when the wrecked car was destroyed, Suzaku was fuelled in anger as he seeks to defeat Zero. Fulfiling Lenard's request, Suzaku is taking care of Mariel until she gets better. It is revealed that he had killed his father Genbu, but it was done when Suzaku found out that he and the Emperor of Japan were willing to collaborate with Britannia and kill off anti-occupation Japanese officials and civilians.
In a fit of anger, he stabs Genbu in the chest. When Suzaku meets Schneizel he is moved by his words that he wished to create a world where everyone is an equal and in which he was surprised to find out that Schneizel wants him to be his Knight, which he later accepts believing that Schneizel can end the fighting. When an Art Gallery, with the Emperor Charles, was in control by the Black Knight, Suzaku was sent by Schneizel to try and prevent any civilian from getting hurt and was surprised to find that Kallen was a member and revealed that she is half Britannian-Japanese, but left her when he realised that Zero is after the Emperor.
When he arrived he saw not only the Emperor dead but saw Schneizel being shot by Zero, which caused him to pick up his gun and shoot at his mask, which cracked and was shocked to see that it was Lelouch as Zero. When he demanded why he did it, Lelouch replied that he only did it for the both of them. Suzaku finds it hard to believe as the two point their guns at each other and fire, with Lelouch missing the shot and Suzaku shooting away Lelouch's gun, but later one of the Glaston Knights shot at Lelouch and left him injured.
Suzaku is present in the manga adaptation with many differences. He was already a student at Ashford Academy from the start. He was not present with Lelouch when C. Finally, he met Euphemia while at the Academy and not on the streets. He still believes that he can change the world from within.
He captures Zero after wounding him with the gun at the garden of the government bureau during the first assault of Tokyo Settlement. Later he sells Zero out to gain Knight of Seven. He gives orders to Rolo to overseer his activities regarding Lelouch. He appears during the Chinese Federation dispute and does not appear in Area 11 until the formation of Area 11 by being deployed along with Gino and Anya.
He joins Lelouch during Zero Requiem as well. However a battle erupted in school grounds by the Neo-Chinese Federation and took everyone hostage. While everyone escape to the student council room, Lelouch thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, but requires assistance from the others, to which Suzaku agreed with the plan and went with Kallen.
After defeating all of the Chinese soldiers in the school's east hall, the two reflect on each other's performance, with Kallen talking about Suzaku's spinkick move that he also used on the Lancelot, to which Suzaku revealed the name of his spinkick move to her as "Hinoboru-ryu Makoto-ichi-Shiki Hurricane Kick", to which he commented from his former Master, Kyoshiro Todoh, that most kids find it hard to say and named it "Suzaku Kururugi spinkick" instead, to which Suzaku has taken a shine to it.
The two arrived at the school's chapel, acting as the Neo-Chinese's HQ, and confronted the leader, but was tricked and their souls were absorbed into mystic item known as the "Thousand-man Silver Vase". However Suzaku manages to return to his body with Kallen, with help from Lelouch who used his Zero persona, and used his spinkick on the eunuchs.
In the aftermath, Suzaku watches Lelouch's body disappearing and was thanked by him before giving him an inspirational speech.
When the group realized Rolo, Shirley, and C. Suzaku once again donned his Zero persona and commented that he still won't say thanks to Lelouch because of everything that has happened, but still says Happy Birthday to him in respect.
The setting in his world will be an alternative version of the event of R2. A brief plot was revealed in the second promotional video in the official website and a short detail of the event set in the A. R main planet, Eria. Set in an alternative event of the second season of episode 06, Suzaku arrived with Gino and Anya when a Britannian ship was attacked by the Black Knights and were confronted by Kallen, and was overpowered by her.
While Suzaku wishes to continue, Gino however convinced him to return to the Chinese Federation to regroup. As they are about to fight the Black Knights an unknown black energy appeared and was suddenly transported to Eria, were he was separated with the other Britannian forces and the other Rounds, but manage to board the Avalon with Lloyed and Ceclie, who were also sucked in.
In Eria, Suzaku and co have appeared on a mountain landscape, were Cecil discovered Zero near their area. After finding Zero, he encountered different mechs who are with him.
Kei and Olson D. Verne from Super Dimension Century Orguss, and Kei ask whether he would join them, which Suzaku refuse because of their alliance with Zero and prepares to attack, but was interrupted by one of the Seasons, Spring One, in her Core unit, Sea Plant, with a group of Icon units. When Spring offered them allegiance, Suzaku hesitated because he won't forgive Zero, but won't trust anyone who would try to kill Zero, and he refuses.
After Spring ordered the attack, Suzaku ordered the Avalon to assist Zero and his new allies. After her defeat and the appearance of more Icons, he and the others witness Macross Quarter from the Macross Zero series, with the Ark Alpha, and witness it destroying a fleet of Icon.
As the Macross Quarter captain, Jeffrey Wilder, offered the group to join up with them, Zero agreed and asked Suzaku to come with them, which he hesitated but accepts. Later in their first mission together with Zero and the others, Suzaku and the others fought against Spring One in her Core unit, Sea Stand, which Autumn later delivered the final blow in her Core unit, Alpharto, causing Spring to escape.
When Zero question if she is really human, Suzaku was surprised when Autumn revealed she isn't but an android. Suzaku, along with Alto Saotome and other mechs from the Macross Frontier, followed Brera Sterne, who had also sided with Seasons along with Grace O'Conner, to a ruined city, were he was shocked that Gino and Anya, along with some Britannian forces had sided with the Season.
However Zero manage to convince him that the battle is not about Britannia or Japan but their worlds, leading Suzaku to reject Gino's offer and fight along side Zero and defeating both Gino and Anya.
With Xingke beginning the assault, Suzaku, along with Zero, C. After his defeat and Autumn using all of her powers to prevent the hole to expand, Suzaku returns to his own world along with Zero, Kallen, and others. Suzaku was then requested by Zero that the two discuss, and later went their separate ways, knowing they'll be enemies again.
Despite a short period where Suzaku becomes playable on orders from Euphemia, following Kaminejima, the events of the game strongly follow the series. He was revealed along with C. He is seen accompanying Julius Kingsley, arriving at St. This was ordered by the Emperor. In the 29th Anime Grand Prix, Suzaku was sixth place with votes, then 19th and 13th, respectively, in the following two. Critical reception to Suzaku has been mainly positive. Anime News Network's Bamboo Dong regarded Suzaku as a likeable character, contrasting his role and personality with Lelouch's.
Moreover, IGN's D. Smith described Suzaku as Lelouch's "opposite number", and also gave praise to the friendship the two share. While reviewing an episode from the series, Ramsey Isler found comical and disappointing how was Suzaku forced to stay at school for extra hours having just finished a highly dangerous mission. His confrontation against Lelouch in the first season's finale was praised mainly because of Suzaku's mentality and his feelings regarding Zero's identity which he confesses he denied accepting such revelation.
Monkey D. Recent blog posts Forum. Explore Wikis Community Central. Abilities While Suzaku possesses no outwardly superhuman powers, such as Geass, his physical prowess is top-notch. He possesses superior hand-eye coordination and has extensive military training in both firearms and hand-to-hand combat. Before Britannia's invasion of Japan, Suzaku was trained by his instructor, Kyoshiro Tohdoh , in martial arts, and has spent most of his time training to become stronger.
He is also skilled in the art of kendo. His physical prowess is sometimes exaggerated to almost ridiculous levels; for example, in one episode he manages to destroy a ceiling-mounted remote machine gun while unarmed by running up a wall and kicking it the gun was said to have a lag time of 0. In the final episode, he is also able to dodge gunfire from Knightmare Frames as he approaches Lelouch under the guise of Zero.
His trademark is a spinning kick first used on Lelouch in the first episode, which he is able to replicate in his Knightmare.
His lack of any tactics confuses Lelouch, as he fights with instinct instead of strategy. The Lancelot's superior abilities also help, as few other Knightmare Frames can match its astonishing speed or overcome its considerable defenses.
Even when Lelouch manages to predict his movements, Suzaku's reflexes allowed him to narrowly escape what would have otherwise been certain death. Despite not possessing a Geass power, Suzaku has the unusual ability to detect C.
Following episode 18 in the first season, Suzaku is also placed under a command by Lelouch to "live. It also activates to a lesser extent when his life is in immediate danger.
Suzaku eventually learns to intentionally trigger the Geass placed on him to help unleash his full potential during combat. Appearances in other media Lost Colors In the video game spin-off, if the player uses Rai's geass on Suzaku to make him join the Order of the Black Knights, Suzaku joins and brutally fights off the Britannian forces.
He also participates in the Black Rebellion. However, in forcing Suzaku to join, the player angers Lelouch, who wanted to recruit Suzaku without using Geass. Lelouch puts Rai into an eternal sleep, resulting in a game over. In the Black Knights path, if Rai stops Princess Euphemia from following through with Lelouch's accidental Geass an alternate version to episode , Suzaku who is standing nearby will catch the princess as she suddenly collapses.
She wakes up in his arms without any recollection of being under the control of Lelouch's Geass. Nightmare of Nunnally In the manga spin-off series, Suzaku's appearance is changed slightly. Some parts of his hair are down, and his eye color is blue instead of green. His pilot outfit has also been customized with a blue samurai arm gauntlet. Suzaku met Lelouch vi Britannia and his sister Nunnally vi Britannia when they moved to the Kururugi residence as a diplomatic peace trade.
At first, Suzaku despised Lelouch because he thought he was a prince who didn't care about anyone. As time passed by, however, he came to know Lelouch better, and they soon became best friends. They became separated when Britannia invaded Japan but reunited in the Shinjuku Ghetto.
When Britannia began its invasion of Japan, Suzaku got mortified by the violence, and his father's belief that resisting to the bitter end was preferable to surrender. Unable to change his father's mind, Suzaku murdered him during a heated exchange. Britannia covered up the incident, and Suzaku's life spared, while the government was thrown into disarray and surrendered to Britannia. Lelouch believes that, had Genbu lived, Japan would have likely been torn apart by war once the other major powers decided to intervene.
His guilt over the incident causes Suzaku to constantly place himself on the frontlines in the hope of atoning his actions by death. It also inspires Suzaku's belief that the ends achieved by using the wrong means are meaningless since he created peace through murder.
After firing the F. Despite that fact, Suzaku is still interested in achieving a world where everyone can live happily and have a tomorrow, as seen in the last episode when all the acts of Lelouch and Suzaku were to achieve that world. Suzaku, along with Lelouch, makes his first appearance at the beginning of the first episode of the series as a child, watching the Britannian Military entering Japan; C.
After the invasion of Japan, Suzaku seemed detached but sad. Later, Suzaku is introduced as an Honorary Britannian soldier. Prince Clovis sent honorary Britannian Soldiers to retrieve the poison gas stolen by the Japanese Resistance. Among them, Suzaku finds the vehicle and confronts Lelouch, whom he believes to be a terrorist. When Nagata opens the capsule, Suzaku quickly puts his gas mask on Lelouch's face. The capsule opens, and instead of gas, as Suzaku expected, a restrained C.
Before they can get answers, Suzaku's superiors come and tell him not to question his briefing and to shoot the "terrorist" Lelouch. When Suzaku refuses, he got shot in the back. However, the bullet stopped by a broken pocket watch belonging to his deceased father.
As a result of Lelouch's rebellion in a counter-attack against the Britannian Army and a twist of fate, Suzaku became the pilot of the experimental Knightmare Frame Lancelot since Britannia wouldn't risk actual pilots on a practical craft. Lelouch rescues Suzaku from his impending execution by assuming the identity of Zero and taking credit for Clovis' murder, forcing the military to acquit Suzaku due to lack of evidence.
While Suzaku agrees with Zero on the latter's assertion that the Britannian Empire is corrupt and not worth serving, he wants to change and improve the Empire from within to show that his father's death was not in vain. As Suzaku claims, achieving results by wrong or illegal methods is meaningless. Having been acquitted of all charges, Suzaku meets Third Princess Euphemia li Britannia and escorts her around Area From this point on, Suzaku remains the pilot of the Lancelot.
He enrolled at Ashford Academy at Euphemia's suggestion. Lelouch later confronts him, and they talk about their past, but Suzaku worries that he will only cause Lelouch and Nunnally trouble.
Later Lelouch invites him to Nunnally at the clubhouse, but Suzaku leaves, wanting to keep their statuses as royalty a secret.
His rank within the military is initially Private, but he is promoted to Warrant Officer by Cornelia when she first arrives in Japan.
