The Haruhi universe, as far as we know, does NOT operate on the many-worlds theory in regards to time travel. There is ONE future.

Also, Kyon's own time travel never created alternate timelines, it only returned the timeline to normal.

Now, it's more than likely that slider-tan comes from another universe completely separate from the Haruhiverse. As such, her presence should affect the timeline in no way whatsoever. Maybe.

The timing of the phone call may have been completely coincidental, or it may not have been.

We'll find out soon, I hope...

That would be an in-character reason for him to side with the Anti-dan and be on the opposite side of alpha!Kyon once he comes over to the betaverse with Slider-tan...
That's... that's actually really great, especially because the Anti-SOS are most likely behind Yuki's current illness.

Bastards.
