I hadn't thought of that. The first two, yes. And obviously no young Mikuru= no elder Mikuru.
But that is true, this can't be the last of the tweaking that she'll need to do in order for her past to play out within spec. Which brings up a question I've been kicking around: Spoiler for Vol 8:

This isn't so much an exact answer to your question, but it is what it is. The time travelers are, basically, actors reading a script. Sure, they is some improv here and there and Mikuru makes a mistake sometimes or mumbles about something she probably shouldn't, but this may very well be predetermined events that occur each and every time. But then this thread is about Nagato, so let's get back to her. Here is a question for those smarter than I: Why are all known Humanoid Interfaces female?

-One possible explanation is that the Entity decided to base its interfaces on the most genetically homogenous form of humanity, the 'base form', and it's reasonably popular in genetics these days to say that the female form (XX chromosomes) is that form. -Perhaps the Entity sees the female as the 'essential' human form due to the female body's central role in the creation of life, and chose on that basis? -Maybe because Haruhi's subconscious god-self thought it'd make for more interest aliens if, instead of warrior males, they were all elegantly beautiful data-goddesses. Think about it, not only are they all female, but they all have a sort of refined beauty about them. -On this same tack, given that the Entity is shown to have opinions, perhaps it feels that the maturing female form is the most elegant? It's a common concept in Science Fiction that sufficiently advanced races still appreciate elegance and beauty in less evolved spheres of existence, and like to model and understand those concepts.

I'm just working backwards from that to theorize some canon explanations. Unless...oh my God. The aspect of the Entity in charge of designing Interfaces is actually also the series Meta-Guy, Kyon, which would give him awareness of the marketing effects of making all the Interfaces female. It also explains why Yuki follows his orders so unquestioningly. AHHHHH!

Again, it doesn't mean there aren't male interfaces, just that Kyon haven't seen any.
Or has he? Hell, anyone he knows could be an interface without him realizing it, given how well Kimidori and Ryoko are able to fit into society. Kyon never suspected a damn thing when he first met either of them. (Well, he suspected that something was up with Kimidori, but not what that something was.) Taniguchi could be an Interface for all we know. He's been in the same class as Haruhi for years... And yes, I do realize this makes the Interfaces sound like Cylons. |

Starbuck: Haruhi Baltar: Kyon Apollo: Itsuki Boomer/Athena: Yuki 6: Ryoko Helo: Taniguchi Tyrol: Kunikida It's far from a perfect match (outside of Kyon and Ryoko as Baltar and 6, which is so rightly wrong on so many levels), as it's just too dark a setting to even fit Mikuru or Tsuruya-san, but my brain's still going 90 to nothing when I should be sleeping... Thanks a lot, Kaisos...

I found more funny suggesting Yuki as a male would make you angry, since you are a regular member of the Genderbending thread/group. (btw, do you like Yuuki as much as Yuki?) |

Well... the thing is, Melancholy is absolutely horrible when it comes to the Nagatos, and that's really all there is to go from for Yuuki.
However, provided the "catch the sword with his fingers" thing is kept/used/whatever'd, that automatically makes him awesome.
