I find him really annoying and a turncoat, he should have helped Lelouch from the beginning instead of running around not knowing anything, I mean, that princess would probably not have died if the princess was too distracted with Suzaku to do anything =P

I think Suzaku was a coward, if we analyze it reached indirectly kill more people than Lelouch himself and not speak of Freya that shot.

I can't say I hate him. I haven't watched all episodes yet, but so far I still sometimes like him more than Lelouch... he has his own reasons of acting and he behaves like a normal human. Not everyone is created to be a hero and no matter what he had done I just can't understand why almost everyone hate this character...

I would have to say that I extremely dislike Suzaku because he tends to contradict himself often. Especially in R2 where he truly shows himself for what he truly is. He showed he was someone who only wanted status in the end; he never really wanted to change the world. Sure he changed around episode 20 of R2 but my sentiments lie on the old saying of too little too late. Self consciously he only wanted to improve his own pathetic self worth and walk over top everyone else in the mean time to get there. All the while his doing the ostrich approach of sticking his head in the sand Lelouch was busy really handling the task at hand. Might I add that Lelouch is no saint but he did try at every opportunity to save someone that was close to him on way more occasion then Suzaku. people Lelouch either saved or tried to save in the end > Shirley, Nanally, Suzaku, Kalen, and C.C. oh and about forgot the entire world twice 1. killing his father 2. neutralizing Schneizel

When you directly compare progress made for peace Lelouch made leaps and bounds ahead of Suzaku easy by literally taking the entire worlds problems and blame on his shoulders so that they could finally look beyond the turmoil to possibly consider working towards a brighter future. He took those problems and completely extinguished them by potentially taking them to the grave with him, that is if he didn't become immortal. This is probably one of the most selfless unconditional acts one could commit in my opinion regarding the better of man kind; he literally sacrificed his own life or any chance of ever having a normal life all in order to bring about a new age of peace. Lelouch took the fall for the worlds problems to sum it up.

Other reasons i dislike Suzaku - his very immature/misguided overall in terms as a character considering for example he killed his own father to try to prevent a war that regardless of his fathers actions was still going to happen. As the mind reader said he was only fighting to try and cleanse the blood from his own hands to only in the mean time manage to worsen the situation for many and hinder the progress toward peace. Had he joined Lelouch from the beginning who knows what possibly could of occurred but my guess is the war would of ended much sooner rather then later had he chosen to man up and do the right decision from the beginning. He also followed Lelouch's father who in my mind was a greater threat then Schneizel ever was considering Lelouch's father sought to reform the entire world by his vision. Anyways that's my opinion of Suzaku.

The first time around.. I disliked him very much for reasons because I was fangasming over Lulu but whatever, enough of that. Re-watched the first season and now on to re-watching the second I like Suzuaku a bit more, putting my hyper of Lelouch to the side. Though he is a weak character at times and still for other reasons makes you want to hit him a few. Can't say I hate him though.
