Speech and Quotes
Most of Suguru's dialogue is written in hiragana and most of his insults and vulgarities like Kono Yarou (コノヤロー,, You bastard?) were written in katakana, with hardly any kanji being used. This was probably meant to represent Suguru's lack of sophistication and intelligence. As the series progresses and he becomes more serious, more and more kanji are used in his dialogue. Suguru's typical way of saying "no" is Iya sa~! (いやさー!?). He is also known for his humorous cries of pain like Owa~! (おわ～っ!?), Gegee~! (ゲゲェー!?), and Da ji ge de~ (だじげで～,, Help?).
