He's a fucking scab prick fuck. Dude is a cop in the worst possible way. He's a delta force operator child soldier for the evil fuckin empire. Everything about this guy sucks ass, but the main character gotta convince him to stop killing his own just to get anywhere anyway

    Suzaku's thing throughout most of the show is his idea that it's not worth building a better world if you need to use violence and coercion to do it. And if he were just a regular guy with no stakes in any of this, that would be kind of an understandable take for him to have.

    But the hilarious part is that he is continuously lecturing on about that as he fights as an elite soldier for the side also using violence and coercion, but with the actively stated goal of colonization and oppression of the numbered zones.

    The only way to interpret this is to realize he's one of those types who seem to think it's not violence when the law says its legal and when the military does it. And in that sense he's a pretty realistically written liberal

    This is very explicitly spelled out in the last episode, when he and Kallen and yelling out their ideology and he straight up says "but what about the people in the system, who speaks for them?" and Then Kallen Kozuki gut punches him to death.
