Or maybe Kyon gave Haruhi power to overcome the effect Sasaki had on Kyon. Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮 ハルヒ, Suzumiya Haruhi) is the title character and heroine of Haruhi Suzumiya, a Japanese light novel series written by Nagaru Tanigawa.Despite the series being named after her, the main protagonist is Kyon, who narrates the story.She possesses unconscious god-like abilities to change, destroy, and reshape reality to her desires. Follow/Fav Trust in God, or, The Riddle of Kyon. Kyon acts through Haruhi because although he himself has trouble believing in the existence of aliens time travellers and espers, he can believe in Haruhi who believes and enables them. It still wouldn't explain how he can be god when another person created the world (and him) 3 years ago. Basically they're a team, the flighty Haruhi coming up with ideas and Kyon subconsciously adding to them to. A Tsundere boy who lied on his application and is not supernatural in any way ever (though the truth is that it is his power that granted Haruhi the God-like abilities, making some people believe that he is actually Jesus Christ who have returned from Heaven. He also does not object to Koizumi's implication that he is doing after-school study with Haruhi in the hopes of being able to go to the same college as her. Sure they explain it as Haruhi wanting to have a perfect summer vacation which includes the group homework cram but it seemed to me that Itsuki was really clutching at straws to explain it. This would also explain how the weird piece of metal that Kyon found (that the Time Travelers asked him to hide from Haruhi) has been, Not only that, but Kyon has also Observed the Founder of, "Suspiciously appropriate"? Haruhi's powers were a predeterminated event all along. In fact, he may just be the Data Thought Entity... Haruhi is a creator god, the female 'Weaver.' Basically anything can happen depending on her emotional state. Equal and opposite beings, with Haruhi representing Chaos and Kyon representing Order. keeping Kyon too busy to realize that Valentine's Day is coming up. This troper has a specific spin on it. I'm really glad Kyon told off Haruhi, the way she was treating Mikuru just wasn't right. This troper feels that these particularities are examples of tropes common across the entire anime genre, and more an example of the Japanese cultural treatment of gender roles in media than likely to be indicative of Kyon fearing strength or independence of women. Besides, the Data Entity or rather Yuki said they found that godlike power in Haruhi! After settling on a hairstyle, Haruhi is always seen wearing an orange-yellow headband with ribbons on the side, in her hair. Kyon's family typically meet during Golden Week in early May. Both of Kyon's parents are alive and well. But it is noteworthy that none can be trusted - we cannot assume that any of their words are true. In the movie version of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, after she is restored, he seems to call her by her first name, but is actually referring to the snow that had started falling (yuki means snow in Japanese). He tried to explain these dreams (about aliens, time travelers and espers) to Sasaki, but she only denied their existence. He has been told that he is the one who can move Haruhi's powers to Sasaki. 3 years ago, this comes to a head — he creates Espers, Aliens, Time Travelers, and a person just as interested in them as he is, Haruhi. And even he claims later he's not entirely sure of that, but that is the official party line. Kyon describes Haruhi as an annoying and reckless girl, although he believes she can be more likable if she learns to calm down and help others instead of demanding things. It's implied that he didn't talk to Sasaki at all until the anti-SOS brigade arc furthering my idea that Haruhi is essentially a replacement. That Haruhi couldn't have had powers back then - Then it would basically have to be Kyon from the "present" timeline who visited her and helped her with that sign thingy. He also suggests she could meet interesting people at North High. I'd like to point out something interesting from the first light novel: in the very beginning of the book, Kyon speculates on what kind of character he would be in plots that sound like generic shounen. Haruhi is a bright, energetic and athletic high-school student. sexually molesting Mikuru, going on adventures and generally doing whatever she wants). Itsuki annoys Kyon with his relentlessly cheerful personality, wordy lecturing, tendency to violate Kyon's personal space by putting his face too close, borderline-outrageous comments, kowtowing to Haruhi's ideas, and half-joking insinuations of a romance between him and Haruhi. Despite Koizumi's tendency to be noncommittal in his statements, frequently claiming to have been "Just kidding", he remains essentially honest with Kyon, sharing information with him beyond what he strictly needs to know. Kyon is the only person to address Haruhi by her first name (without honorifics). When she asks him his name, he calls himself "John Smith" (ジョン・スミス, Jon Sumisu), an obvious pseudonym which she derided. Kyon realizes he could stay in this "normal" world for good and joining the Literature Club, but immediately decides that a world with the SOS Brigade is more interesting and fun, no matter how annoying it is. No. ―Kyon. Some evidence I came up with to support this theory after reading it: the mole on Mikuru's breast. He mediates Haruhi, making sure her powers stay in check, which is why she hasn't remade the world again and why he managed to fix Yuki's reality. And Haruhi is placed under a mental block that keeps her from putting simple facts together that are happening before her very eyes. He sometimes defends her against Haruhi. You could argue that the world is a manifestation of his fears, but that doesn't explain why he enjoys being there and takes joy in Haruhi's presence. He is a normal student but time traveled with Mikuru in Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. In some cases, however, he follows orders from her that he genuinely disagrees with, out of simple loyalty. In fact, Kyon was attracted to Mikuru more than any other female members of SOS Brigade because of her beauty and timid appearance. He enjoys light debates with her (in The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya he narrates that "Haruhi and I bickered for a bit just to settle our stomachs"). Haruhi wanted to meet time travelers, aliens, Espers and Sliders. Kyon is able to tell the difference between a real Mikuru and a fake one (although a fake Mikuru has only appeared once, in "Snow Mountain Syndrome") as he knows about the birthmark on her breast. Essentially the opposite of Kyon = God theory. Sasaki calls him, ending up in a tense meeting with her and her "associates" Kyouko Tachibana and Fujiwara (who had previously tried to kidnap Mikuru) and Kuyou Suou (a representative for an organization which had previously attacked Yuki). Kyon's most obvious characteristic is his snarky and cynical manner, which he often uses to hide his true emotions. Why would a godlike being need a quantum observer, let alone confine this requisite to a single individual? In truth, she is a god-like entity with the power to manipulate time, space, anything around her; A living, breathing menace with such power that nobody could stop her. Note Kyon's phrasing during the climactic moment: "My summer can't be over until I finish it!" (He apologizes, but tells her that he's doing so because Mikuru told him to. Haruhi, after all, is the central female character and main love interest. there is a world where Kyon is God but it is not the one the series takes place in, Kyon is a slider and the god of a different dimension, Kyon originally held all of the power, but Nagato lied to him when she revealed the supernatural nature of the world. Remember when he said that he found out that aliens, Santa Claus, etc. His choice is presented to him at the meeting, in which he is told to decide whether to transplant Haruhi's powers into Sasaki, who is revealed to have similar powers to Haruhi, or to let Haruhi keep her powers and risk turning over the world. Feels like something a god (or someone playing god) would say. Afterward, she became more mentally stable a… Kyon takes pride in being able to detect Yuki's changes in mood and development in becoming more humanlike, but how accurate his detections really are is always left ambiguous. Or possibly the two of them are making worse a war in Kyon's own mind over the subject. Well that was something. In The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya he seemingly admits to himself the full depth of his feelings for Haruhi, instinctively shielding her from a fatal fall with his own body while calling her "My only boss." When she pries into his romantic history in "Editor in Chief★Straight Ahead!" However, in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 2" he does nothing to stop Haruhi from changing her into degrading costumes, and in the light novel and manga versions he actually assists Haruhi in her plan to get The Computer Research Society President to grab Mikuru's breast. It is not. trapped in an endless summer it only ends when Kyon does his homework. And even if he had kept the powers to himself all the time, that would be even weirder because then the whole time-loop problem and the solution of it wouldn't make sense (Oh and the climax of the first chapter wouldn't either ^^). Kyon is a female bunnies of the seriesMaou-sama, Retry!. Tsuruya-san's proposal could not have come at … This is lampshaded throughout the series from the very start. Especially if you think about the type of person who would read this, a person who wants Espers, Aliens, and Time Travelers to be real, but has probably lost all hope for it happening in reality. Indeed, things always seem to work out for the better for Kyon. God in a Box can’t work now, since that is a Human construct. In The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya Kyon becomes involved in a timeline split. Koizumi has repeatedly suggested that Kyon date Haruhi, suggesting that would make her happy (and reduce incidents of closed space). She didn't even notice it until Kyon pointed it out. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya tells the story of a high school boy named Kyon who befriends eccentric student Haruhi Suzumiya and is roped into joining her club, the "SOS Brigade." QED Kyon is god. When the series just began, he was giving up on his dreams of encountering aliens, espers and such, and if he is a real god, then the act of giving up on these things would probably make them disappear, but Haruhi intervened and changed things. That is just a "theory" by someone who has been called untrustworthy by the other two members of the cast. So, Haruhi is the actual Schrödinger's cat? before she tells him what she's been doing for 600 years, fact that Kyon must be in his position for the story to take place, (saying "while" is swinging it a bit here), Although all of this can be chalked up to the, This is actually supported by the introduction of eccentric yet sane, Why would Kyon do this? Despite Kyon's less-than-enthusiastic approach to the SOS Brigade and the various external forces at work around it, Itsuki is usually the one to explain supernatural phenomena to Kyon when necessary. the reason for the loop was because Haruhi had wanted to visit Kyon's house during the summer vacation and used Kyon's declaration of his unfinished homework as an excuse to have a 'study group' at his place. The A and B stories in Volume 9 could be due to Kyon himself being momentarily unable to decide how that story should end, so he leaves his options open. Kyon is the actual God, but being massively Genre Savvy he restricted his own access to his powers and imposed a subconscious mind lock on himself in order to avoid A God Am I moment and all that closed space stuff.
