Suzuya Juuzou's profile

Despite not being from the academy, he is a heretic and problematic child who joined the CCG as an "exceptional case". His abilities are impeccable, but he has poor judgment of right and wrong, and can show abnormal sadism. Although his messy hair and noticeable stitches on his neck and right arm are noticeable, he is a boy with a well-groomed, androgynous face that has been described as "just like a doll". He holds his bangs in place with a XIII-shaped pin. He often ends his sentences with "desu~" or "yo~".

Combat Ability

His combat abilities are extremely high, and with just one Quinque, which is practically a knife, he disassembled three ghouls that attacked him for prey purposes (the ones who had beaten up a weakened Nishiki) into over 200 parts, and even easily defeated Jason (even though he had been pushed to the brink of death by Kaneki).

Is Suzuya Juuzou cute but scary?

With a delicate build and androgynous face, he is often described as "cute" by fans due to his innocent personality. However, he is often called not only "cute" but also "scary". The reason for this is Suzuya Juuzou's cruelty. Juuzou's past circumstances have made him a character with very poor judgment about right and wrong.

Cruel and belligerent?

In the early episodes, he casually steals things, and doesn't hesitate to injure people who are upset, leaving them with disabilities. Also, when he fights ghouls, he kills them in a very savage way, cutting their bodies into over 200 parts. On top of that, he has a very belligerent personality, so he's a "cute but scary character" in Tokyo Ghoul.

Changed? Scary? Hobbies

One of his hobbies is "body stitching," the act of sewing thread into his own body. He has a self-harming, belligerent and cruel personality, and an androgynous appearance with an unclear gender. It's true that when these elements are intertwined, it may seem a little creepy. However, that creepiness creates a contrast with Juuzou's cute appearance, and it may be what makes him attractive.

Suzuya Juuzou's fearsome physical abilities

This is the scene where the CCG was shot at from the upper floors during the operation to capture Aogiri's base and was unable to attack. In this situation, Juzo steals Commander Marute's motorcycle and drives it at breakneck speed. The motorcycle is heading towards a fence. Juzo bounces the motorcycle off the fence, changing the direction of the motorcycle's movement upwards. He then uses the motorcycle as a foothold to jump up and somehow crashes into the upper floors of the enemy base.

Suzuya Juuzou's Quinque

"Scorpion 1/56 (Taillight) Rate: B" The first Quinque given to Shinohara, used during his training period in Ward 24. It has the shape of a small knife. He took the remaining 55 from the CCG warehouse and now owns all 56. At first he complained about them, but he continues to use them after getting Jason, so he seems to have grown fond of them after all.

"13's (Jyuuzouzu) Jason (Rinkaku) Rate: S+" A Quinque made by Jason (Yamori), a vicious ghoul from Ward 13. It looks like a scythe shaped like the letter "K" and has the power to cut through thick Quinque steel with a single stroke. There is a gimmick where the kagune comes out of the blade.

"Arata (JOKER)" A new Arata made from the kagune of Touka and Ayato's father, Kirishima Arata. Compared to previous Aratas, it has a slimmer structure to match Juuzou's physique. There is a gimmick where the arms turn into blades.

Suzuya Juuzou's past

Source: Tokyo Ghoul © Ishida Sui/Shueisha, Tokyo Ghoul:re Production Committee
When Juuzou was a child, he was the "pet" of a ghoul called Big Mom. His real name is "Rei". "Juuzou" is the name given to him by Big Madame as a scrapper. Due to being subjected to various cruel acts depending on the work of the day, his sense of pain is now dulled.

Also, from around this time, he started to show symptoms of multiple personalities.

In a hellish environment...

Furthermore, Big Madam treated him like a girl, and then crushed his penis because she wanted him to stay cute. The depiction of this scene would send chills down the spine of any man. It would not be an exaggeration to call the environment hellish, but Juuzou loved Big Madam like a mother, and his job as a scrapper was also a reason for his existence.

Afterwards, Big Madam escapes. Juuzou is taken into the care of the CCG. He is expected to be a great athlete, but at the same time, due to differences in morals and values, he often gets into trouble and is avoided by the staff.

On top of that, he was framed for the animal slaughter that one of the staff members was doing, and the gap between him and the trainees became solid. Then, he was recruited by Washuu Tsuneyoshi, the head of the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau. He became partners with Shinohara Yukinori. At this time, he was given a new family register and decided on his own name, "Suzuya Juuzou."

Suzuya Juuzou's exploits in Tokyo Ghoul:re

Together with the Quinx Squad, he is entrusted with the investigation of a ghoul named "Nutcracker." However, on the very first day of the investigation, he overslept. He has worked on investigations with the protagonist, Sasaki Haise, before, and they get along well. Haise also puts snacks for the investigation in his pocket the day before (even though he can't eat them himself).

During Nutcracker's investigation, they discover that Nutcracker is involved in the "human auction" run by the Madames. He participated in the Human Auction Domination Operation, the largest-scale operation since the Owl Extermination Operation two years ago, as an advance infiltrator with Mutsuki Tohru of the Quinx Squad. He taught Mutsuki knife techniques and explained Shinohara's teachings.

Suzuya Promoted

He infiltrated the auction as an item. He engaged in combat with Aokiri Tree's Rabbit, who was guarding Big Madam in the hall, using a scorpion attached to his prosthetic leg. Since he left Jason behind to infiltrate, he decided that he was at a disadvantage and retreated, tailing the ghouls participating in the auction and joining up with Urie and Mutsuki. Together with Urie, he exterminated the ghouls participating in the auction before joining up with Suzuya's squad. Working together with his squad members, he succeeded in exterminating Big Madam. In recognition of this achievement, he was appointed a special investigator at the age of 22.

Suzuya VS Kuro

In "Operation Rushima Conquest", he is in charge of "Landing on Rushima". He is entrusted with the role of captain of the second division. Immediately after landing, he unilaterally exterminates the ghouls on the beach and continues to lead the way. Afterwards, he encounters Kuro, who is fighting Hanbei. Leaving the injured Hanbei in Hanai's care, he engages Kuro with Tamaki and Mikage. He corners Kuro, who has turned into a half-red being and attacks him, but is hit in the chest and Jason is destroyed. However, he is unharmed because he was wearing Arata, and he overpowers Kuro again and forces him to retreat.

Suzuya Juzo's thoughts

After returning to the mainland, when the Clown Mask attacks, he becomes the leader of S3 squad on Furuta's orders and is in charge of the front defense of the headquarters. After Furuta becomes the head of the bureau, he is hostile towards him, such as trying to slack off even though he is called. When they attack the 24th ward, he confronts Hinami, who is fighting with Hanbei to help the fleeing ghouls escape, and although he overpowers her, Kaneki comes to his rescue and lets her escape. Afterwards, he tells Kaneki, "I'll just kill you," and deploys Arata to challenge him to a fight.

Suzuya Juuzou is growing little by little

After Kaneki turned into a dragon, all of Suzuya's team managed to escape, but Suzuya himself and Hanbei were injured in the fight with Kaneki. When the ghouls offered to cooperate with the CCG, he thought about what Shinohara would do and tried to refuse, but was persuaded by Marute and accepted the cooperation according to his own ideas.

The secret to his popularity is his beauty that rivals any woman's and his childlike personality

Perhaps because he has lost his testicles, Juuzou has an androgynous appearance even though he is over 20 years old. He loves to dress up, and "body stitching," which involves sewing red thread onto his body like embroidery, is an essential item in Juuzou's fashion. To match his hair color, he wears a white shirt when his hair is gray, and after his hair changes back to black, he often wears black-based clothing.

Gothic Lolita look

During his undercover investigation in "Tokyo Ghoul:re", he showed off his gothic lolita style drag look, and coupled with his hair that was a little longer than in "Tokyo Ghoul", many readers fell in love with Suzuya, who was cuter than the female characters. He also has many childlike, innocent and carefree aspects, one of which is his love of sweets. In "Tokyo Ghoul:re", when Sasaki Haise meets Juuzou, he hides sweets in both pockets of his clothes, which fascinated fans, making it easier to communicate with him.
