That made me picture him just sitting at home, like every normal, 10th-novel-less day. He feels like he's being watched, even though he knows that's ridiculous. Still, the feeling keeps bugging him. He turns around and sees that there's a crazed otaku staring at him from outsite his window, holding all the Haruhi merchandise ever imagined...including a shiny new replica of Asakura's knife.
DUN DUN DUUUN. Either that, or he's taking a shit or making toast or something equally mundane (and not related to the 10th novel at all). Or he's gone batshit, and... ...well, maybe it's safest not to look behind you. |

This makes me wonder why Itsuki would be keeping her from heading back to her Data Overmind. Or what Mikuru and Itsuki's organizations have in common that keep them in rhythm. (during the "song".) From what I've read about him, Tanigawa obviously doesn't speculate like us fans do. He didn't know where the plot was entirely going to head in the first few novels. I think he's sleeping right now. Just a guess. |

That's the point of the limited perspective. Concealing important things from the reader. That would be a hilarious subversion of the SYYYMBOLISM at work in Yuki's story. |

Maybe that's what her story actually meant? 90% of the time Yuki acts straightforward and she tends to take things literally (more so in the earlier novels, but STILL.) So maybe she actually meant that she was in a room with a coffin, a smiling man, and a girl wearing a sheet, and that at some point the girl wearing the sheet started dancing and the smiling man sang along? Either way, Haruhi's reaction of "this is pretty disturbing" would fit.

But then again, Yuki reads a lot of foreign, text-heavy fiction novels. I wouldn't be surprised if she learned heavy metaphor and symbolism from one of those books. |

Uncountable rationality

I almost want to bet that it is very closely tied in with either something that has happened but is not mentioned by Kyon yet, or something that will happen seeing as Yuki is rather literal. But that's just wishful thinking.
And besides doesn't she attend classes and read "text-heavy fiction novels"? She must learn something about metaphor, symbolism and other such literary devices. Or it could be one of Tanigawa's poems he felt like putting into the novels. On a side note, at this rate, as soon as the 10th novel comes out, if ever, the 11th novel, if there is one, would be released or at least have a release date. And if we're lucky, the 12th one immediately after that.

...Moving on. If an 11th novel is confirmed when the 10th is released, it had better be published with haste. After all of Kadokawa's trolling and the bajillion-year-long wait for the 10th novel, I don't think fans are going to tolerate much more sitting around and waiting. As I mentioned before: Replica Asakura knives. If more delays happen, they will be created. No, that was not a death threat. What? She wouldn't need to, what with the whole alien-created-and-super-intelligent thing. I can't picture her hiding one of her giant hardcovers behind a textbook, though. Would she just fully take out a book and read in class (something I've had many a bad experience with, usually eliciting the response of "HOW DARE YOU READ A BOOK IN THIS ENGLISH CLASS?" from my teacher), or would she just spend the period staring at the chalkboard? |

Although I like the technobabble nature of the original term, Data Overmind is easier to digest and works just fine.

The whole "tenth novel is the last" is partially from this hoax interview and partially from 2ch rumors. Quote:
Persona 3 had a similar instance of the robot character failing miserably at everything except science and math, for understandable reasons. I'm betting Yuki just reads in class. No one would bother her, as I remember the novels making the point that the entire class worships her, since she talks so little it's like that every word she actually says is a pearl of truth and wisdom. |

Though, the only really stupid recurring character in Haruhi is Taniguchi, so "above average" means little in a cast of "above average" characters. |

Taniguchi makes up for his impairedness by making up catchy and entertaining songs about forgetting things, and by being a fairly cool cat, particularly in genderbent form. |

Are you talking about Haruhi? I think the discussion was about Yuki, but I might be having a senior moment, or something equal to that in incompetence. >_>; Yuki could probably be considered a god of some sort, though not in the same sense as Haruhi, but I don't think that Yuki would have any problem with being a nerd.
