Sudo

Biodata

Personality

Sudo is hot-tempered, blunt, and highly sensitive to perceived disrespect. Horikita Suzune's criticism of his academic ability and basketball ambitions provokes him into nearly starting a physical confrontation during a study session. He initially dismisses studying as irrelevant to his dream of becoming a professional basketball player. 5

Despite his aggressive behavior, Sudo shows insecurity when his future at the school is threatened. Facing possible expulsion, he becomes visibly anxious and later thanks Hoshinomiya Rinyu sincerely for lending Class D points. 7 13 He also demonstrates remorse and reluctance when drawn into Ike's changing-room surveillance scheme. 15 16

Story Role / Major Arcs

Midterm Expulsion Crisis

After failing one subject, Sudo faces expulsion under the school's midterm rules. Hoshinomiya lends Class D 200,000 points at Horikita's request, allowing Sudo to avoid immediate expulsion. Sudo later thanks him and is expected to cooperate with Horikita. 7

Class C Fight Hearing

Sudo is accused of bullying three Class C students after a fight near the special teaching building. With no initial evidence supporting his claim that he was lured into the confrontation, he faces expulsion and becomes the focus of Class D's investigation. 9 13

Sakura Airi's photographs establish that the Class C students surrounded and provoked him. Horikita Manabu rules that Sudo acted in self-defense, but his use of excessive force earns him a two-week suspension; his expulsion is revoked. 14

Pool Surveillance Scheme

During the summer pool outing, Sudo reluctantly joins Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki in a plan to send a camera-equipped remote-controlled car through the ventilation system into the girls' changing room. He guards the entrance but is unable to prevent Ryuuen and Albert from forcing their way into the boys' changing room. 15 16
