Trivia
|
- Tatsuya's given name means "to be a dragon"; his family name contains the elements "by any means necessary" and "wisteria".
- Tatsuya's missing right eye and the scar around it are a direct result of the first time Tatsuya Suou ever summoned his Persona Vulcanus.
- To conceal the empty socket and the scar when out and about, Tatsuya wears an eyepatch and a coat of the sort of makeup burn victims use to cover up their disfigurements.
- Like most evil geniuses, Tatsuya has a cat; his name is Fortinbras. He has slightly fluffy white fur, gold eyes, and is extremely sweet-tempered. His name is taken from Hamlet.
- For his 29th birthday, Akari Hoshi got Tatsuya a new kitten. Playful and fearless, Laertes is black and possesses gold-rimmed green eyes. His name is also taken from Hamlet. Now that he's grown up some, he and Fortinbras have become good friends.
- Tatsuya's Guardian Dragon in Wang Long fortune-telling is the Red Dragon, which rules passion and is confident and adventurous. Tatsuya Suou's Guardian Dragon is the Light Dragon, with which the Red Dragon has poor affinity. IMAGINE THAT.
- Tatsuya is fluent in both English and German, languages that his mother taught him when he was a child. He has also taught himself Latin and Greek, possesses reasonable facility with Italian and Hebrew, and has studied some Russian and French. Further, he is fluent in Yucatec thanks to the tutelage of the Voices, and taught himself Nahuatl as a supplement.
- In addition to being an accomplished astrologer, Sudou is learned in the principles of alchemy (and the metaphysical practice thereof) and other such Western arts. He is also steadily gaining a working familiarity with Eastern mysticism.
- The Dragons' home office resides in the impossible scarlet maze that comprises 80% of the building that houses Club Zodiac.
- The Japanese reading of his name, placing family name first, may be a play on words in English: Sudou Tatsuya --> "pseudo-Tatsuya", i.e. the false Tatsuya.
- Like his counterpart Tatsuya Suou, Sudou has a lighter that he flicks incessantly. Sudou's, however, is black and did not come from someone he loved. It's just a fire-starter's tool.
- The Voices are gone. Also he came back from the dead, sort of. These two facts are related.
- Sudou's given up on repressing his well-developed masochistic streak. Needless to say, this may in fact make him just as frustrating to fight as his madness once did -- he's more reasonable, but still disturbing...and not afraid of pain.
- Following a short sojourn to Vienna to clear his head, Sudou returned to Araya Shrine and there cut off most of his wild mane, leaving it in the shrine for the gods to dispense of as they will. It's the first time his hair's been cut in twelve years.
