The King's Horseback Ride fall (october) - Hajimeyou JUDGEMENT!!! that is, leo returns to knights and tsukasa is incredible disappointed by him. leo decides to hold a judgement-style duel to decide whether or not the unit should continue its activities or if it should be disbanded--this is basically like a chess game, where one sends out representatives on each side, and losing your king means losing the whole thing. tsukasa is the knights' king, and leo is the knights killers' king. there's a lot that goes into this event tbh.

Mine Lady spring (march) - producer-chan learns how to be a servant from tori, yuzuru takes a little too much pleasure in nitpicking tori, and etc. eichi visits too. tsukasa comes in at the end and... immediately gets into it with tori, because the himemiyas are new money and the suous are old money, basically. he gets subtly scolded for bullying tori by eichi too.

Misc

● mini events
● intimate events
● voice list | vid w/all
● clothing ref
● knights cd drama
● interviews & his general tag (has some story stuff from the magazines in it)
● event timeline so far
● aries (04/06), A, likes old books and dislikes insects, his specialty is mounted archery, hobby is chess, he's right-handed
● from an affluent/elite family
● he has experience with ice skating and picks up on it quickly enough, but he's still an amateur
● doesn't have a proper appearance in Beauties of Nature but still did attend the photoshoot; he was busy with family business pretty much the whole time otherwise. Says "spring of the next year," so it probably means sometime in March... especially since it's coupled with the White Day event. The third-years are so close to graduating then...

● Voice Actor (Reio Tsuchida) Comment:

"When I received the role of Tsukasa Suou, I was very excited to find that he has a lot of similarities with me, such as his favorite color and his dislikes, etc. However, the script also says that he 'has very good posture'... I'm terribly stooped-shouldered, and thinking that this won't do, I started putting an effort into keeping a straight posture. I honestly respect Tsukasa-kun for always maintaining this posture. Also, I think the biggest appeal about this character is certainly his gentlemanly quality. Essentially, he's a very gentle boy, but not only that, he's also very manly, and I also find it very charming that every now and then, he'd smoothly mix in English like a true elite. Moreover, his natural gentlemanly manner tends to attract girls, but he's also quite oblivious, so he wouldn't always notice that. Then again, that little imperfection makes him even more charming. I hope you will enjoy the game while taking note of Tsukasa-kun."
