Satsu is a fictional character in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics.

She first appears in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight No. 1

(2007), a canonical continuation of the television series Buffy the

Vampire Slayer. Buffy Summers is a slayer, a fighter of supernatural

foes. Satsu is activated as a slayer, trained by Buffy, and falls in

love with her. They have sex together twice before Satsu returns to

Japan. In later storylines, Satsu struggles to move on from Buffy,

fights demonically-possessed stuffed animals, and briefly reappears in

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten. Satsu was developed by Buffy's

creator Joss Whedon (pictured) and artist Georges Jeanty. Critics, fans,

and industry insiders had a mixed response to Satsu's sexual

relationship with Buffy. Academics have analyzed the unequal power

dynamic between Satsu and Buffy, compared the representations of their

sexuality, and discussed the depiction of Satsu's race and ethnicity.

Wikiquote quote of the day:

  One percent of the nation owns a third of the wealth. The rest of

the wealth is distributed in such a way as to turn those in the 99

percent against one another: small property owners against the

propertyless, black against white, native-born against foreign-born,

intellectuals and professionals against the uneducated and the

unskilled. These groups have resented one another and warred against one

another with such vehemence and violence as to obscure their common

position as sharers of leftovers in a very wealthy country.  

--Howard Zinn
