Juuzou Suzuya

Juuzou Suzuya, also known as Rei Suzuya, CCG's Jason, The Next Arima, The Reaper and Dragon General, is a character from the Tokyo Ghoul series.
== Charactah Account ==
Juuzou Suzuya is a Rank 3 Ghoul Investigator. In the past, he went by the name Rei Suzuya. He is the partner of Yukinori Shinohara. He is a young man with an androgynous appearance. He bears stitches on his lips and other places, used as both first-aid and fashion. His hair is pinned with a stitching string in a Roman numeral 13 pattern, and has large pupils that leave an eerie and frightening impression.
Juuzou has a childish, careless behaviour, does not care for the property of others, is enthusiastic, and often very resourceful in his job. He seems to have no qualms in killing ghouls.
After the two-year time skip, Suzuya's hair is dyed black, and he is the leader of his own squad. He demonstrates maturity and even appears to empathize with ghouls unlike before. He is also far more invested in the welfare of his CCG coworkers, and has a particularly close relationship with Sasaki Haise.

== Trivia ==
* In the first character popularity poll, Suzuya was ranked fifth. In the latest, he came in as sixth.
* His profile in the original series lists his likes as sweets, ghoul hunting, and his Mama.
* According to his profile in :re Volume 3, his current obsessions are "serious hide-and-seek" and "throwing Hanbee."
* The association of Suzuya with the number "13" is a word play: It is possible to write the name "Juuzou" with the kanji juusan, translating to "thirteen."
* 13 (XIII) is also the Death Arcana. Apart from the Grim Reaper parallels it can represent loss, conclusion, sadness, transition into a new state, psychological transformation, and deep change. The number can also be associated with his hair clip, his quinque, his association with Jason, and working in the 13th ward in Joker. It is also considered an unlucky number in many cultures and is associated with death, betrayal and loss.
* During Owl Suppression Operation, one of Suzuya's hair clips went missing, reducing his number down to 12 (XII); referencing The Hanged Man, or "change," hinting that he would change in some way.
* Suzuya seems to have a particularly delicious scent when ghouls smell him.
* He is noted to be the only investigator since Kishou Arima to become a Special Class in his early 20s.
* In :re Chapter 32, while being promoted to Special Class, his hair clips are arranged into the Roman numeral 20 (XX). This is most likely, referencing the Judgement card which calls for a period of reflection and self-evaluation.
* In Tokyo Ghoul Trump, he is featured as a "White Joker."
* It is possible Suzuya is left-handed, as parts of his right arm are stitched, however, he wields his quinque knives with both hands suggesting he is more likely ambidextrous.
* The practice of body stitching was originally only used in underground cultures and was used as a form of extreme self expression, however Suzuya's character design itself sparked more awareness of it — and more people besides those apart of those cultures began to partake in it.
* In :re Chapter 179, when visiting Shinohara after he wakes up from his vegetative state, his hair clips are rearranged in the style of the Roman numeral 21 (XXI). This is referencing 'the world' tarot card.
