Especially the Marines. You do not diss either the Holy Pistol made by St. John Moses Browning in front of a Marine, or his K-BAR. Besides, remember that Male Asakura is a Data Collection Entity. He's not gonna chose a weapon based on manliness, he's going to chose it based on efficiency and suitability to combat. It has been conclusively proven that in an environ such as a classroom, you are better off with a knife. Kodachi - debatable. Frankly, is it really important to change the knife just for the sake of supposed manliness? During the Battle of Guadalcanal, Marine Corps Sergeant Mitchell Paige defended an entire hill from the Japanese with just two weapons: his K-BAR, and a Browning .30cal MG. The Japanese who were attacking uphill had more firepower than him and the supposedly more manly katana. http://instapinch.com/?p=739 Incidentally, most katana in WW2 were used to execute defenceless, unarmed prisoners, or for sepukku. The Marines used their K-BARs to kill the enemy. Still think katana are more badass? Summation: Katana = debatable manliness. K-BAR = undisputed badass.

(I'd like to see 'Kyon' chuck a manly crowbar at Asakura during that famous showdown...)
Edit: As a cold shower, dkellis made the right point. Whether if Kyon is capable of chucking a chair should not lead to wayward thinking of any sort that would be in conflict with the actual scenarios. //back to photoshop

Ryou Asakura is attempting to kill Kyonko with a weapon. Personally I don't see why he needs a weapon in the first place, considering his ability to alter reality locally, but the canon has a knife, and apparently the knife is popular enough in fandom to be left into the genderswap.
With this attempted murder, I'm not really seeing a need to switch weapons around such that he's more "manly", or whether the weapon has any bearing on his "manliness". It's attempted murder. "Manliness" should not be a factor in the discussion. |

I was attempting tongue-in-cheek satire. Doesn't really seem to have worked. To repeat, As a practical and cultural reason, I would go with the knife. Not only is it easier to use in close quaters, Japan has some sort of liking for knives, and frankly, is there any reason to change it from a knife to a supposedly more manly weapon?

Please forgive if I even sound slightly sexist (I'm definitely not), though it seems to be more acceptable for a girl to slap a guy in the face then the opposite. So do have Kyonko slap Haruki, and then Itsuki-chan coming up to grab her hand to stop her from slapping Haruki even further, while Haruki looks stunned at this outburst. |

Kyon-ko should be short and DFC and Shana-ish. Adds to her charm.
I don't know what everyone's problem with Haruki is. Ryou should keep the knife. Quote:
Kyon-ko will probably call Koizumi "Koizumi". In any case, we need to agree on names here... Quote:

Yuki becoming Yuuki strikes my fancy as well. Nagato could become Nagato-kun. Itsuki is can be used as a female first name, so I don't really see a need to change this (chan can be added when we need to differ the two) Mikuru... I like Mitsuru myself. |

Greetings
as the saying goes, I'm a long time lurker first poster. I registered for the sole purpose of thanking you guys who participate in this mind-blowing brain-storming thread. I thank you because I can feel my inspiration is coming back. I'm planning to write some fanfiction loosely based upon what I read so far. (although considering my writing speed, don't except to read it so soon...) Now, my view on the knife/katana for Asakura. I'd go for the knife too. For various reasons: 1/ it fits into a schoolbag (does humanoid interfaces ever get that kind of problem ?) 2/ katanas conveys the image of swordfights, with two opponents clashing. The knife conveys a more plain, brutal image; a murder on a defenseless victim. Male or female, Kyon is the innocent, defenseless victim in this scene. To sum it up, katanas are more "graphic", knife are more frightening 3/ as a writer, I could introduce some thougths like "Does he intend to slash my clothes and rape me ?" or, "What's with that knife ? Will he try to scar my face ? Hold on, he said "kill you" didn't he ?" See #2, in this scene, before Nagato appears, there's no action, the stress is put on fear rather than actual, physical violence. |

On the Haruki dragging Kyonko everywhere thing, I once suggested that Haruki just pick Kyonko up and carry her off. Haruki's strong enough to lift Kyonko's small body, and this could be funny in more ways than one.
Edit: I am quite smitten after this one:

Btw instead of trying to think of the male equivalent of a bunny suit why not just put Minoru in the bunny suit (creating a trap for real) and have Kyonko join him after getting guilt tripped by Haruki. |

I can think up a legion of ways for Kyonko to completely misunderstand the situations. You too? I dare say its the most charming image of Kyonko in my folder so far. |

You're imagining things. Everything is fine. Another subject I would like to adress is Haruki's reason for capturing Mitsuru. I believe it was discussed before that he'd do so to make him more GAR. I disagree with this decision. Haruhi originally captured Mikuru to serve as a 'cute mascot' Mitsuru can still fill this role, only this time to atract the female part (he has Kyonko suplying the atraction for the male part) girls are inherently atracted to cute things, and Mitsuru is nothing if not cute. |

Being female automatically makes her a bit more feminine, ya know. I plan to have her mention that she's mostly grown out of those fantasies, though. As for the whole Shana-ish thing, I meant physically. |

I find it humorous (and a little sad) that it seems the near majority of images of Kyon-ko are some form of fanservice.
Not that I'm complaining, however. Mmmmm... yuri... And as for Kyon-ko sounding snarky, keep in mind nobody's talking to her, or saying very VERY stupid or half-baked things to her that are either doomed to fail, or will end in horrid embarassment for Mitsuru. (I like that name too.) Normally people don't sound like it's troublesome when they're offering their opinion. Besides, in the origional series, Kyon isn't always like that either. He's proven he can be pleasent at times. Normally those times are when Haruhi gets a face full of grass, but whatever. No wories. If I know Kaisos (and I do.), he will personally see to it that Kyon-ko is more sarcastic then a room full of cheerleaders. Said cheerleaders were just asked out by a D&D nerd (Nothing against the game). That makes for a potental sarcasm H-bomb. Oh, also, Kyon had a fetish for ponytails. Sly bastard. What does Kyon-ko like? ...Yes, I just realized that question might take days to answer... EDIT: Just saw the Kyon-koxYuki picture which was posted AS I DID THIS. As a fanboy, I now have a fetish for THAT. *Cuteness induced seizure* |
