I know he is foolish and basically digs his own grave, but on top of everything he just wants Asami's love, who becomes more and more impossible for him to reach.
He must be dying from envy... Even when he is severely wounded, all he can think of is Asami. Worse than physical injury, his heart is bleeding seeing Asami only cares about Akihito's condition after Aaron's attack and stands by his side all the time. Even Aki understands his pain, hence he always holds himself back from talking about Sudou's craziness in front of Asami so that he wouldn't lash out his wrath to the poor guy. Stupid guy, but pitiful, still.
Sudou deserves the backlash, but no punishment is more agonizing than love unreciprocated. He and Akihito are type to cling and cry on Asami's arms, only Aki gets more attention everytime he gets hurt, something Sudou can only dream of. I don't have heart to see him being taken advantage by Asami's rivals ╥﹏╥
He. Tried. To. Kill. Akihito. No sympathy.
Not to mention, he betrayed Asami, stole from him, and kept on doing it even after being given a second chance. He isn't foolish. He's a lying, betraying, criminal attempted murderer. His heart should be fucking bleeding. He isn't pitiful. He knowingly brought this all on himself.
Akihito cried in Asami's arms because he'd been kidnapped and shot. Not because he'd been caught doing something wrong! Akihito deserves the attention because 1) Asami loves him and 2) he's a decent human being. If Sudou wants that kind of attention from anyone, he should maybe stop stealing, lying and trying to kill people. And doing all three badly, by the way.
Sudou, a classist snob who thinks Akihito isn't good enough for Asami, should check himself. If you want to play with the big boys, you need to have the skills. Sudou was stepping way up and class and he got deservedly burned.
He willfully engaged in betraying Asami. Nobody "put" him in a trap. He knew exactly what he was doing. If he's pitiful, he's pitifully stupid.
Anon! I was missing you, so today is my lucky day! No, my Anon friend, if I understood well the story, most part of Sudou's illegal activities were done with Asami turning a blind eye on them because those didn't harm the business (maybe were useful, like blackmailing politicians using beautiful prostitutes). This is what I think.
I just think his wrongdoing has a lot more to do with his stupidity and bad judgment than vileness, I mean it's easier to hate pure low life like Sakazaki. He doesn't have consideration to Aki or Asami whatsoever, while Sudou still has heart eventho his blind love to Asami certainly doesn't serve him anything.
And to think Akihito even can sympathize with him... Uh.. in the English version manga, Sudou frigging molests him when Aki is kidnapped, but Aki knows he does that most likely while fantasizing Asami. The guy is desperate. And I can feel the despair.
I also think of OP as background. Sodou is unstable and deserves punishment, but not death. A second possibility. Unpaid love can lead to madness in a weak mind; But that's right, "No," Sodou was wrong to kidnap and kill Akihito. In this I must admit that even Feilong is wrong, wrong, wrong. However, it is good to remember that Asami is a gunman, a kidnapping and a rapist, so he can not do anything to anyone. He has improved over time just because he loves Akihito.
Asami didn't turn a blind eye. He confronted Sudou and gave him the opportunity to come clean. When Sudou lied, Asami had Kuroda investigate. See chapter 48. And Asami openly disapproved of Sudou's dealings with Kouyama. See chapter 44.
And yes, there's only one anonymous and I am all of them. Mwa ha ha ha.
And he cries yet again at the thought of 'losing' Asami forever.. ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥
The first time Aki sees him with Asami in front of the hotel, I know I won't able to hate Sudou fully. Asami never look at him twice, eventho he loves him just as much as Aki does (or arguably even more). If you put it this way, it is sad actually.
This is the one I was waiting for. Low life Sakazaki who has no consideration for Aki. Except for not trying to murder them. and Sakazaki showed considerable heart by saving Sudou from assassination in the hospital and in the last chapter, he's very worried about Sudou.
So...hmm...what could be the difference that makes people think Sakazaki--who is nothing worse than a sleaze--is an irretrievable villain but murderous betrayer Sudou is a poor pitiful misunderstood cuddlebug? It's pretty obvious y'all are so willing to turn your morals into pretzels for a pretty face.
It's obvious that Asami knew about Sudou's collateral businesses, but Asami didn't like he was exposed with that photo and the link with the shady politician exposed too. Sudou exaggerated because of greediness, without paying attention of the kind of criminals he was involving with. He looked really worried when Sakazaki told him about the attack of the condo.
Don't be that obvious Anon, I can recognize your fur and your tail from miles^^
Yes yes yes, I can't bring myself to fully disdain Sudou because all other leading characters have done wrong as fatal as him if not more in a way or another, and arguably also in the name of love; only they are more powerful or smarter.
Sudou's main problem is his obsession to Asami but he is out of his league, all of his efforts only drive him further from Asami. He has to learn to acknowledge his own blunder s, but I won't forgive anybody make use of Sudou while fully knowing what a wounded dog he becomes.
Let's say that the prospect to take is that of Akihito: blame but pity. I must also say that Akihito is really a 100% positive character. I admire him a lot, he can feel pity feelings for those who hurt him, he's really an exceptional guy.
Come on, guys! Sudou loves Asami more than Aki does? That's a ridiculous statement. What are you basing this on? Take a cool, detached look at what we know about Sudou. He is a snob. He's obsessed with status and money. Asami possesses both. That is all we've been shown that Sudou desires about Asami. That's not love. There's nothing sad in a shallow climber not getting what he wants and then throwing a tantrum about it and trying to kill an innocent. Come on.
All the other leading characters have done fatal wrong? What has Aki done? What has Kuroda done? Sakazaki? Oh, wait. That's right. He's hairy. Positively criminal offense.
It is always sad when a person searches in the eyes of another the recognition of their value. It's not love, it's true. It Is obsession. It means not having a personality. Sodou must be forgiven? No. He must be punished, he must go to jail, must deserve Asami's hatred and his contempt, but not death, in my opinion. A cure from a psychoanalyst, too.
I did not read Pray Abyss, so correct me if I'm wrong. I think I understand Sakazaki knowingly, shrewdly and rationally exploits Sodou's madness for his own purposes. this is true? If not, I apologize; If yes, then this is an odious action.
I'm not convinced that Sudou's motivation was poor self esteem as much as it was vanity and greed. Again, that's not sad. Does he deserve to die? No. I just find this effort to recast him as a misunderstood victim ridiculous and kind of gross.

(First try didn't post. Apologies if this shows up twice.)
Before meeting akihito did sudou was asami's lover i mean did asami sex up with him and pass time with him or he just was a follower who loves him only with a love in return ?? I mean if they had really something serious between them then i would really understand why he did that i mean love is something anyone want to keep it alive in the heart so i won't blame althought i'm sure akihito won't do what he did in his place but if they really didn't have something important between them and it was only a one sided love then i really won't feel sorry for him but to be honest akihito's love is pure and without conditions unlike sudou's love that's my op
Bruh.. why u mentioned pretzel I am craving now (/TДT)/
But seriously we read this manga full knowing our protagonist consists of criminals, defender or lover of criminals. They enable and support each other doing shady business and doing all sorts of illegal activity. Aki learns that things are not black and white tho. The first betrayal for Aki coming from cop who cooperates with mafia instead, he learns that polices can be bought and criminals can show respect and loyalty too. This reality shakes him up. That's why he can't jump to love Asami at first, because he struggles to maintain his ideals. Sudou is angry at Aki, from his pov this is unfair. He literally commits himself to Asami's business (eventho with disappointing performance in the end) and very sure since the day one he wants Asami, while Aki still is not sure what he can do with Asami and even does things which can harm his business as a journo, yet he is the one who gets all special treatment from Asami.
Other criminals who commit their selves in the game at least still has a room for other people in their heart; Fei Long loved his dad dearly and Tao, Asami does everything to protect Aki, Sudou longs for Asami, and then Sakazaki... Uh, now I am not sure about that one.
We are at your disposal; We can talk about any character; If you want to chat about Sodou you can talk as well.
Hi @ you too Gu (=・ω・=)
I think so far we know that Sudou's feeling is one sided? Which makes me feel bad for him more than if he is an actual ex lover, because whatever drought he has it never be quenched by Asami. I will never feel bad like this to Aki because whatever happens he is mentally stronger I think, which makes Asami likes him more.
Hi, welcome to mangago. (●'◡'●)ノ
I agree with you, he's very narcissistic. We don't know his backstory but from his character I can see that he got everything he wanted until Asami. I don't think he had sexual relationship with Asami though, he'd start to act like Asami's lover and Asami is really good at personality judgment. ^_^
There is zero evidence to suggest they had anything other than a business relationship. But if they did, you really think that excuses murder? I'm sorry but I'm just struggling to understand the alignment of y'all's moral compasses here.
I believe that Asami has had various stories before Akihito; but I do not think any of them with manga characters (Feilong, Sudou, Yoh); only with Akihito.
The one with whom he had a "consolation relationship" is Feilong. But he did not love him, and it's not clear why his approach to the Chinese was physical: according to some, he just tried to calm him down and protect him from Yantzui, nothing else.
I think Sodou will live. If he dies he will do it in the extreme attempt to protect Asami or Akihito; So its position will be rehabilitated. I think Sensei does not want to give him a totally negative image, in the hospital he has drawn him so pathetic and desperate for the life of Asami.
You know Mojo, you're very like me. If I had been in this forum at HL and NT, I would open dozens of pages for Feilong ...
Asami is a shrewd businessman. It makes sense that he would hire Sudou in the belief that an attractive former model would be the right kind of draw at a youthful nightclub. Again, no sign at all of anything sexual between them. Unless you think Asami sleeps with everyone he hires. Do you wonder if he seduced Suoh?
What I wary of Sakazaki is he is not type of person who is capable of being moved a bit genuinely for other party so far. Plus Sudou doesn't seem to like working with him. Yes, Asami takes advantage of others too, but Sudou likes him and has his own interests with Asami's power so it is more mutual. Sakazaki pushes the connection with the Russian mafia and Sudou reacts negatively to the idea. Not a good sign.
We will never know. However this is a topic that sends off topic ... better not to talk too much about it. ..
it's true
I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I know this is going to sound combative, but really. How are you making judgments on these characters when you have never even read their story? If you haven't read Pray in the Abyss, then you simply don't know who these characters are, and that makes it tough to take your opinions seriously. Again, I'm sorry but this just doesn't make any sense to me.
(⌒ ▽ ⌒) hello, my dear friend!
Sudou doesn't like Sakazaki because Sudou is a classist snob and finds Sakazaki's manner and business dealings coarse, but even if Sakazaki has ulterior motives, he is sympathetic to Sudou's feelings for Asami and treats him gently. Honestly, are we all reading the same manga? It's right there on the page.
I understand your pdv, in fact I assumed that was so. I have read the parts, not everything; I understand the general lines and the typology of the characters involved.
you aren't sound combative, Nope, don't worry!
you know i think sodou should have a meeting with fei...they should talk together cus they have so much in common titles to discuss to each other maybe now that fei has moved on he can show sodou the best way out of asami's dark way...maybe he should become feilong-sama's follower
ps:hi and welcome mojo (●'◡'●)ノ
Ok, you're right, if I do not read Pray, I do not understand the dynamics ... I totally miss the view of the Sakazaki / Sudou report
Sudou chose Asami's side.. now that he can't be there anymore, at least he doesn't become Asami's enemy because his heart is still with Asami. Should he be destroyed, he won't wish to be destroyed in Asami's own hands.
I see, Takazaki is there when he is injured. If he finally agrees with Takazaki's suggestion, then it's Sudou's own decision. I just wish Sudou saves himself from his own greed and not picking a decision which driving him further from his ultimate goal, like previously. But Sudou is not a fast learner it seems ┗( T﹏T )┛
i really am not comparing feilong to sodou but think about it dear friend sodou thinks that because fei became asami's enemy asami has his full attention on him so he wants to be asami's enemy too but the poor thing doesn't know anything about asami and feilong 's relationship if the 2 of them get to see each other then maybe feilong will tell him something about his relationship with asami and put his tortured soul at ease and then protect him from asami and then sodou will become in fei's care and will become his subordinate(i don't wish to see sodou get killed)
then what's the problem if sodou wants revenge or closure from asami?asami never gives anyone any closure the evidence was feilong he left him to take the blame in jail without any answers for 7 years(๑•ㅂ•)و✧you see asami isn't god sodou can conspire against him with Russian groups and take asami to his knees why not ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
No problem so long as we don't keep pretending he's a pitiful victim and not a vindictive grasping murderer with no redeeming qualities beyond his pretty face.
oh fucking hell shut up you fool. you are fast becoming the most irritating person on this board
My dear, it is true that Fei went to prison in place of Asami, but it is also true that Asami killed Toh because the bastard had hurt Fei. Remember that Fei decides "not to pay the bail"
I don't wish to see Sudou get killed too my dear, and it's possible that Sudou will talk to Fei Will he change? I'm not sure about that. Fei and Sudou loves Asami for different reasons, Fei loves the man himself Sudou loves his money and power. In the end best punishment for Sudou is being ignored by Asami and I believe Asami knows this. That's why he won't hurt Sudou but he won't protect him too.
Do not let troll, offend anyone (especially Diana) on this forum you understand? ?!!
Yes, you're right, he had to talk to him.
if Sudou wants revenge, then revenge it is. But he effin cries again thinking of not being able to comeback to Asami and he doesn't like the idea of meeting the Russian immediately. If he truly still is with Asami in his heart, why would make situation even worse now??
He always does this. Previously when Asami found out his betrayal, he regretted his action. Yet he friggin kidnapped Aki and he regretted the outcome again, for disappointing Asami (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I just want Sudou to be firm and not doing the same mistake again you know. If he wants to ditch Asami, then don't regret it like the previous case. Go on and don't break your own heart ╥﹏╥
kidnapping and hurting and killing are some regular routine things for a crime lord such as feilong_sama( ̄∇ ̄")(⌒▽⌒)i know sodou is not that rich but first of all he's richer than aki second:i don't really think that he did all of that to rip asami but i'm sure unlike fei he is 100% in love with asami( ̄∇ ̄")
How can you tease the little Fei !!!!!!!!!!!!╥﹏╥
Lady, are you in love with Asami?
I enter the club with Mikhail, Yantzui, Yoh (finder), various subordinates ....
sugar daddy is alive. He is............
http://www.mangago.me/readmanga/you_re_my_loveprize_in_viewfinder/mh/manga/you_re_my_loveprize_in_viewfinder/v09/c055/pg-18/
And? That has nothing to do the post you're responding to. Sudou: pretty face, no redeeming qualities. Aki: pretty face, plenty of redeeming qualities. You don't know how to do this, do you?
He's not Asami rich. He's Asami's employee, therefore, he is nowhere near Asami's equal, which was his goal.
Why are you so hung up on comparing Sudou to Aki? Doesn't matter to Asami that Aki isn't rich, which shows how badly Sudou misunderstands Asami. He knows nothing about the man he's supposedly 100% in love with.
She didn't compare their personalities, she compared their looks. To be honest I agree with her, even though sensei's art is amazing her characters look very similar to each other. Aki looks similar to Sudou, Kirishima looks similar to Kuroda, Young Asami looks similar to Yoh and 27 year old Fei, Suoh and Mihichiro-kun<3<3<3 look alike too. ( ̄∇ ̄")
i did say that sodou is rich enough so the reason for his obsession for asami isn't money(i never said that asami likes people for their money because if it was true he would have been f**king fei instead of aki( ̄∇ ̄"))and maybe you are right he doesn't know the real asami after all no one except aki knows the real asami(i'm not even sodou's fan i'm just saying my facts)
Ahaha you cracked me up with that comment, lady.. Here's another question, what if Sudou and Aki do not look alike? That it's only sensei's drawings but in the story it was never intended that they look like each other (≧∀≦) hoho.
But anyway seriously, I'm with you that "he desires Sudou sexually". Not sure if it's because he looks like Aki, or vice versa. I think he'll accept the bj or whatever sexual advances offered by anyone (sorry if I made him sound so bad here.. can't help it with his sleazy looks)
Anybody who reads Japanese knows why the twins are angry at Kairu here??
https://cloudup.com/cQNfliyKmHC
I haven't read the previous chapters before that so I don't reallyknow what's happening, but that Kairu guy said that he'll make Keiichi his partner because he thinks that Keiichi is something like his soulmate. He even called the twin "Father-con". XD
Thanks for your response! (=・ω・=) What does Father-con mean?? Does Kairu think of the twins as his future step-sons? XD
Here is Kairu's previous appearance; https://cloudup.com/c3BHE3UPuuA and https://cloudup.com/cYJj-wmYrQN . I think Keiichi symphatizes with Kairu for some reason, right?
Father-con means a person who's obsessed with their father.
Like, Loli-con = a person who's obsessed with little girls. Shota-con = a person who's obsessed with little boys. It's somehow an insulting and negative word. XD
Thanks for the link! I've read it. Kairu's real mother is a Japanese, she died when Kairu was only 10 years old, that's why Kairu is in Japan, to find his real mother's location. It seems like he was brought up by his step-mother and he isn't close with his father, he said that he doesn't know what family really is, so he was envious of Ren and Takumi because he saw how close they are to their father, and that's why Keiichi symphatized Kairu, because he kinda saw the young Takumi and Ren in Kairu and then he told Kairu that they're blood-related at all. TwT And then Keiichi took Kairu to their house then Kairu announced that he'll make Keiichi his partner, I think he means partner as in lover. :v
Ah... I see it now, no wonder the twins are fuming bwahahaha. But now you have confirmed it, it feels both hilarious and sad knowing the story. Keiichi is too soft-hearted as expected... yet another handsome and lonely boy(/TДT)/ but then again, how the twins drag Keiichi right away everytime Kairu appears is just XD Now I just can't imagine how Kairu feels in the end of chapter when he sees them kissing, he must be like "Told ya I was right!! You guys are father-con!" lol
I have another question because you are knowledgeable of Japanese. Why the twins' name are written in Katakana? Is it to make clear the pronounciation from the otherwise ambigous Kanji's multiple possibility of pronounciation, while writing it in Hiragana will make it seem feminine (in my comprehension)?
Omg ikr. Keiichi is sooo soft-hearted, that's why it's easy to take advantage on him. xD
Well, I'm not really sure but I think that might be the reason. Maybe Takumi and Ren's kanji are a bit difficult to read, or there's various ways to pronounce it.
While, for a reason I don't know, Japan usually use Katakana as a Furigana when writing names an official forms, but in this case, I think the author used katakana because that's how she wants it. xD It's like the style of the author.
At this rate Keiichi is going to take home every orphaned boy who has interest in him XD
Yeah, I thought Katakana is reserved only for foreign names so I was pretty confused that apparently Japanese uses it to write their own name too. Btw thanks again ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
