Nobuyuki Sugou, also known as Fairy King Oberon in ALfheim Online, is a major antagonist of the light-novel, manga, and anime series, Sword Art Online. He serves as the main antagonist of the Fairy Dance Arc, a greater-scoping antagonist of the Alicization Arc, and returns as one of the two main antagonists of the crossover series, Kingdom Hearts vs. Sword Art Online. He is the arch-nemesis of Kirito and Asuna.
Sugou is voiced by Takehito Koyasu in Japanese, and Todd Haberkorn in English.
Personality[]
Sugou is lustful, greedy, and above all, sadistic. He views others as inferior to him and is definitely not above killing anyone who tries to get in his way. He wishes to obtain the power to control not just the human mind, but the human soul as well, and become a god of this world. He also finds great pleasure in toying with the lives of the innocent. As shown when he captured the minds of 300 SAO survivors and used them as "guinea pigs" for research on developing technology for controlling the human mind.
Sugou is especially lustful towards Asuna, and despises Kirito because he's in love with her. However, Sugou has absolutely no concern for Asuna's feelings, saying that the latter has always hated him since they were kids. He attempted to take advantage of her by arranging a wedding for the two while Asuna was still unconscious from SAO, and while in ALO, he tortured Kirito and raped Asuna right infront of him.
At first, Sugou appears to be a kind and polite man. However this was all just a charade to hide himself from Asuna's father, Shouzou Yuuki. After Shouzou leaves Kirito and Sugou alone in Asuna's hospital room, the latter reveals his true colors.
