Also, Kyon does have something that interests Haruhi – being John Smith. “Have I met you before?” |

He will no longer be one of US, someone we can relate to. Someone who thinks like us, talks like us, and have nothing but his wits to beat back those more powerful than he... and succeeding. If he has god powers the story would be ruined. KYON would be ruined. Everything he did would be a lie. All his triumphs would just be mere games. Nothing he did up to this point would have mattered. He didn't earn any of his victory's at all. The story is more important, above all. And for the story to work, Kyon needs to be a normal human.

But in both cases, it will completely screw with the entire setup of the franchise. You could say I believe in the author?

Does anyone else think that Kyon is the Tanigawa Nagaru? If the events, like shown in the video of the security camera (commercial for season 2) take place in 2007/7/7 and he had a three year hiatus...
Oh Haruhi, I may have just lost my

Not too long ago, this was actually suspected because of the seating arrangement when they just started their first year. Given Kyon's location at the time, his name should either start with 'Ta' or something else...

Well, I'm new to this part of the forums. So please have mercy on me. I've been lurking here since 2006. But whatever, here goes my first post.
In my first post, I have some things to address: Spoiler for Haruhi:
Thanks for listening to my drivel. |

(I'm not entirely sure I understand what "I don't like it" is referring to, which is why I ask. I'm not a big fan of the illustrated covers myself - I like her illustrations, but the covers are kind of boring while simultaneously feeling gaudy to me.) |

IIRC, the students were being seated in order of their names. Since Kyon was seated in front of Haruhi, that implies that his name comes before her in the alphabetical or Kana order. In Japanese, T comes right after S, which comes right after K, and the vowels are in the order A, I, U, E, O, so Kyon's surname very likely starts with a K or with Sa/Shi/Su.
