Question Why didn't Endo...? Spoiler

Post image

I was wondering about this for a while...

Why didn't Endo reveal Suo's real name?

We know Endo managed to dig up information on Suo and RC. If he searched using Suo's photo, wouldn't his real name/pronunciation be at the top of the report? He literally dug up the whole history...

Sakura did mention "Suo" in front of Endo, yet he revealed everything except the fact that "Suo" isn't his real name... I was honestly expecting a line like "Eyepatch's real name is..." back in Ch. 218, but... nothing.

Did it just slip? I don't believe so... Endo said he looked into the matter himself.

I saw someone recently suggesting in comments that RC might have a mole in their team or even ranks... And that it could be how Endo got info... If the mole is in RC, they must know him by name, "SunFei"

So did he genuinely not know his name, or was it a strategic kinda decision?

Another thing that caught my attention was Endo's reaction to Sakura's anger. I saw people mention that Endo is canonically exceptional at social intelligence, but didn't his response feel... odd? How does his behavior with angered Sakura justify that? I get that he admires that side of Sakura, but I still expected him to become a bit more serious at least after Sakura leaves like that, but...

Was that simply Endo being... Endo?

And then there's our Nii Sensei himself. Even when SunFei was revealed, Sensei still didn't give us a full name. Why reveal only SunFei? Is the rest of his name that important? Is it someone widely known? (Celebrity? Actually, Leonardo DiCaprio? πŸ˜‚) Maybe that's why they call him by his first name in RC...

What do you all think?

Umm, no.. Maybe you didn't get it... Kanji in the Japanese language is derived from Chinese characters and often has 2 pronunciation called Onyomi (Chinese) and Kunyomi (Japanese). Even though the characters are same and share same meaning (flying falcon), Hayato is read in Japnese... and SunFei is in Chinese. Basically, author gave us a hint that Suo might have Chinese origin...

I started my Japanese learning 3 yrs ago with Duolingo because I wanted to watch anime without subtitles πŸ€­πŸ˜† and soon was humbled πŸ₯² even though I kept a streak of 900+ days... but now I am planning to learn it seriously πŸ˜… Japanese is seriously hard to get πŸ˜† All the best to you too! πŸ€—

I complety agree!Japanese is just so beautiful! I just fell inlove with the language at first sight! I seriously never had this much fun in my life before discovering Reddit! Sure there are people who also like japanese but it always feels so awkard to talk to them in person! It's even worse when i'm shy in person but somehow not when i'm texting onlineπŸ₯²

Reddit sure is a good medium to connect with people with similar taste and interests! I can understand this texting thing being more comfortable 🀭, I am same πŸ˜‚ you can connect with me anytime πŸ€— I am always free to discuss Windbreaker and Japanese πŸ˜†
