Thank you Romy. That shows rape for what it really is an act of pure hate violence. That was powerful. Nothing sexy abt. it. That is not S&M, not role play. She made it look real diff. from with Asami or even Feilong. Makes me want to hurt Sudoh.
Sudou did what is referred to as "hotdogging" (sliding his penis between Akihito's butt cheeks) and then he ejaculated onto his back. There was no penetration. This is verified by Asami who later had Akihito present his ass to him so he could check for himself.
It could be that he wants to "soil" Akihito, but I think the motive may be even more pathetic. In his delusional mind, it could be his way of being closer to Asami by using Akihito.
Sorry I forgot to write SPOILER ALERT in my reply just now
Yep I am 80% sure he's using his ass cheeks. Um kind of like a "tit wank" but with his bottom….
- you can zoom in and have a look but I'm sure thats the case, he comes on Akihito's back also. To me it's a little more disturbing somehow too. And I'm a lady ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Definitely! You are so right!! I don't want to fic drop but I explored a similar theme myself between Yuri and Akihito before - it's like a violation of a whole other kind. It's like there's a real disturbing hatred and crazed anger and Sudoh is showing how fast he's unravelling.
Very interesting but considering the future chapters how we know them at the moment, Akihito isn't acting like a person who has just been through thus horrible attack. I'm looking forward to reading the whole volume cover to cover to get the clear picture.
It's sexual assault. If you have a narrow definition of rape that involves only penetration, you loose sight of the fact that rape is about power and taking someone else's choice away. This is definitely sex as a weapon whether or not sex involves penetration. It's also a bit sensationalistic. But it is fiction. It's okay to have it in the story though we should realize it's a bad thing.
I always got the feeling that we were supposed to at least sympathize with Sudou, maybe even root for him a little bit. As you say, this has new implications about his character. Maybe there wasn't penetration, but this is still a very ugly sexual assault. I know we're going to get called on double standards, but Sudou was already beyond the pale for me because he was in the act of slitting Akihito's throat. I fully believe he intended to kill Akihito. So this isn't just a sexual assault, it's a sexual assault during a murder in progress.
I guess I need to wait and see where sensei is going with Sudou. After all, she managed to bring Fei back from that brutal rape (and intent to kill) in volume three and now everyone loves Fei. But I kind of wish Sudou had just died in the hospital. I've never been a big fan. I've always thought he was pathetic. Maybe that's what makes him unrootable for me and why this assault on Aki feels different.
This crap just rolls off Akihito, though, doesn't it? In this case, literally. (Sorry.)

Read at your own peril, seriously. Major changes to Akihito/Sudoh scene below….I am sharing these because it raises huge points about the psychology of the characters at the time and future chapters. I'm kind of in shock -

I pointed this out on Tumblr too but please note that there is NO penetration. No rape, and I think personally it just shows how 'desperate and deranged' Sudoh had become…..
