Story Role / Major Arcs

Class Study Plan

Sudo is one of the principal obstacles to Ju Fan's initial effort to make the class study diligently. He rejects the proposal and leaves the classroom, but later agrees to attend a shortened study session after Ju Fan offers to personally teach students with club commitments. 11 25

He passes an exam in which he had been expected to struggle, avoiding the expulsion risk faced by several classmates. 21

Tutoring Sessions

Sudo studies alongside Ike and Sakura under Ju Fan's guidance. Although he and Ike tease Ju Fan for being rigid and poor at speaking with strangers, the sessions develop into a friendly group dynamic. 30

Special Building Fight Incident

After a confrontation with Class D students, Sudo is accused of instigating and winning a fight. His reputation for fighting since middle school and his impulsive explanation make the accusation difficult to contest. 36 37 40

Sakura's photographs establish that Class D physically attacked him, but the images alone cannot prove who initiated the conflict. Ju Fan, Suzune, and Sakura represent Sudo at the hearing, while Ju Fan withholds stronger evidence until the opposition has committed to its account. 38 40

A recording ultimately proves Sudo's innocence. The Student Council clears him of responsibility and suspends the three Class D students involved for one month. 41

Aftermath

The incident forces Sudo to recognize that his usual conduct contributed to the accusation appearing credible. He expresses remorse, thanks Ju Fan, Suzune, and the class, and vows to improve, though he admits his habits will not change immediately. 41

Trivia

• He was impressed by Ju Fan's physique but criticized Ju Fan's Gekota-pattern swimsuit as childish. 16
• His favorability toward Ju Fan is recorded as 55, between that of a regular friend and a close friend. 24
