Suzaku's ability to shift between his personas blows my mind. It's better than ever. The difference between Rivalz hanging off him and Gino doing the same is worlds apart. I think Suzaku's reaction around people is another result of not wanting to lose anyone, not wanting them to get close to him.
I find it interesting that Suzaku is willing to be as genuine as he is around the other KOTR. He is used to faking to get by amongst Brittainians, and if he wants to be Knight of One, it would make sense for him to curry favor amongst his peers. Either he feels secure enough in his position that he doesn't give a damn, or he has an odd sort of trust in his fellow soldiers.
And what of his talk about having enough military power? With Nunnally in place, Zero is well and truly stuck (ehem people talking about Lelouch possibly killing Nunnally scare me because NO). Why does Suzaku need full strength?
Perhaps to keep Lelouch from stealing her away? If Zero kidnaps Nunnally then Suzaku loses his trump card. Suzaku's probably hoping that Zero will go after her so that he, Anya, and Gino can draw the Black Knights out and crush them for good.
