Ken Sudō/Relationships

Sudō is known for having a hot headed temper and anger issues which have gotten him in bad situations and earned him several enemies. However, he has managed to earn some friends in the course of his school life.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji
In episode 3, when Sudō failed the test he was at risk of being expelled from the school. Unknown to him, Kiyotaka sacrificed some points for him to stay at the school which was accepted by the teacher. Later on, Sudō attended a celebratory party thrown at Kiyotaka's room where some other students attend. When Kikyō hints that Kiyotaka helped Sudō out, the latter and the others stop their activities and looked to see if this was true but he casts the credit to Suzune.

In Episode 5, he is one of the students who helps him in his case to prove his innocence after he accused of seriously injuring three students.

Suzune Horikita
They have a rocky standing due to Suzune's habit of speaking her mind and not being afraid to hurt people's feelings with blunt words which only serves to provoke Sudō's quick violent temper. In Episode 2, she implored Kiyotaka to convince Sudō to join her study group but he refuses and goes to basketball practice. Suzune was not done with him as she personally goes down there and makes him think about his athletic career and how it would be at stake if he were to be expelled which persuaded him to go study. However, Suzune blunt personality got the better of him and he voiced that he didn't join just to be insulted but she wasn't bothered. When Kikyō gave everyone old test exams to help everyone, they all got passing scores except Sudō. In Episode 3, because of his failure Sudō was nearly expelled from the school but this action was stopped when unknown to Sudō, Suzune and Kiyotaka sacrificed some of their points to stop it which the teacher accepted. The two later attended at celebration party at Kiyotaka's room which was attended by several other classmates as well. When Kikyō hinted that Kiyotaka helped Sudō out, the latter and the others stop their activities and looked to see if this was true but he casts the credit to Suzune. A startled Suzune was barely able to explain to a curious Sudō that she did it for her own benefit.

In Episode 5, she helps him in a case to prove his innocence after he is accused of fighting three students. Initially, Suzune struggled to say anything (due to her brother's presence) but with help of Kiyotaka she was able to speak on Sudō's behalf. She begun her speech with criticism of his character which angered him at first but she stated he was not at fault for this incident to his shock. Sudō watched as Suzune used her charismatic words to bring evidence that he was not at fault first by pointing out holes in Class C's story and by bringing in Airi Sakura who had pictures of the incident. When those representing Class C protested, Suzune stated she would not accept any compromises and wanted to dismiss the accusations towards Sudō who sat staring in admiration of her abilities.
