Classroom of the Elite: Ken Sudo & His Love Interests – Explained!

The romantic intrigues of Classroom of the Elite are quite interesting and are of interest to a lot of fans of the series. Whether it’s some major ship or something of lesser importance, fans around the world keep discussing how their favorite characters might evolve and who they might end up with in the end. Of course, what everyone wants to know is who Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, the protagonist, is going to end up with, but since we’ve already covered that topic, we are going to tell you about another character’s love interests in this article. Namely, you are going to find out about Ken Sudo and his love interests in the series, as we are going to list and explain them here.

Who will Ken Sudo end up with in Classroom of the Elite?

Ken Sudo doesn’t really have a girlfriend in the series and knowing his violent and often thuggish behavior, it only makes sense that he is not that popular with the girls in the school. But, that doesn’t mean that Sudo himself doesn’t have any romantic interests and in this section of the article, we are going to go over some potential candidates and tell you what kind of relationship he has with each of them.

Satsuki Shinohara

Now, to be fair, Satsuki and Ken don’t really have a proper relationship in the series – it is more or less superficial – but there was one important moment in the series that actually motivated us to list her here and to discuss the possibility, however unlikely it may be (especially in light of Ken’s feelings toward Suzune; see below). Namely, when his friend Kanji Ike, started dating Satsuki, Ken seemed to become jealous.

Now, it is not completely clear whether he himself had some feelings towards Satsuki, so he was jealous because of that, or whether he was jealous on a general level that Kanji got a girlfriend before him, which means that Satsuki as an individual is not that important. It could also be that he was jealous because Kanji would spend less time with him. Be that as it may, the Satsuke×Ken ship seems a very unlikely one, but we simply wanted to explain the situation to you.

Suzune Horikita

Suzune and Ken Sudo had a very rocky start, but of all the female characters in the series, he has the most complex and layered relationship with her, despite their differences. She initially cared for Sudo and wanted to involve him in group activities, but due to his brash and violent nature, he did not really want to join in. On the other hand, as time passed, the two of them became closer and Sudo started developing feelings for her.

During their second year, Sudo finally decided to confess his feelings to her, but while she did reject him – as she did not share these feelings – she did thank him for loving her and was not mean to him. Although the two of them are a very odd ship, from Sudo’s point of view, Suzune is the most likely candidate at this point, but we don’t really see this happening in a natural way.

Kayano Onodera

Just like in Satsuki’s case, Ken and Kayano don’t really have a working relationship. They are schoolmates, but there is no deeper story behind this, so we don’t really have too much to tell you in that aspect. But just like in that case, there is something interesting here that motivated us to list Kayano and discuss her as a possibility, although an unlikely one.

Namely, during the second year, when Ken confessed his feelings to Suzune and ended up being rejected, he said that he would go and spend more time with Onodera, since the two have similar personalities. This could have been a hint at a possible future romance between them – we don’t know at this point, really, but she is yet another female character who seems to have captured his attention in one way or another, and that is why she is on this list.
