The Character Discussion Thread of SOS団 Member: Haruhi Suzumiya

Doesn't have to be equal. :P

Could be a darker or lighter grey.

Also emotional > physical. USUALLY. (unless they're shallow)

[Jonbob0008]

I was just saying that when I made the statement that sexuality ISN'T black, white or "grey." The "grey" I was refering to was an equal measure of white and black. My whole point was that there could be different mixture of black and white, just like how people can have sexual preferences that tend to lean one way or the other without being completely "Straight," "Gay," or "Bi."

Most people are shallow, in my experience, even if they say they're not.

Haruhi, however, is not. Even if Kyon is good-looking.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Which he isn't. He's average. Average people aren't attractive.

Kyon only thinks he's average.

Don't forget, this is the guy who has girls falling all over him; the most emotionless character in the series to date told him he had "pretty____eyes".

Yeah, he's pretty good-looking. Not as good-looking as Koizumi, but...

Oh really?

Haruhi: Shares quite a few common interests with him. He vaguely reminds her of the guy she met three/four years ago.
Nagato: Touched by his actions.
Mikuru: While he's pretty bad at it, he does try to stop Haruhi from doing anything particularly bad to her.
His sister: ... I'm not going to get into this one...
Tsuruya: Is there any real proof that she's interested in him?
Asakura: Wanted to kill him, no real romantic aspects.
Kimidori: Nothing.
Mori: Not interested.

Spoiler for future stuff:

Miyoko: Friends with his sister.
Sasaki: Not really sure on this one.
Suou: "Pretty eyes."
Tachibana: No interest.
Slider-tan: Aside from liking the idea of calling Kyon "sempai" and wishing she had a sister like his, there's no evidence at the current time that she has any personal interest in him.

Yep... really has girls falling all over him.

Anyway... of the above, only one that has actually displayed interest in him due to his appearance.

[typhonsentra]

Tsuruya flirts with him quite a bit in Volume 7 but he never takes it seriously, and I don't think we're supposed to either.

Good points.

Also, "average looking" is attractive enough for your, well, "average" person. Once there's romantic attraction there, a moderate degree of physical attraction is usually enough to satisfy people. It's also been my experience that most people aren't very picky.


As for Haruhi's sexuality... my own view is that she's straight, but is so obsessed over aliens, espers, and time travelers that she'd literally go lesbian for one or more of the above. I think that her treatment of Mikuru can be summed up over simple expressions of delight that she has such a great moe mascot for her SOS Brigade; kind of like a young kid gushing over his or her new literal toy.

Haruhi really doesn't strike me as the one-night stand sort of person. Her approach to others suggests to me that she's either really into you (to the point she wants you to be part of her regular entourage), or she has no investment/particular interest in you at all (romantic, sexual, or otherwise).

You do have a point. However... at least the girls in the SOS Brigade all have a thing for him, and that's more than enough to say that he has girls falling all over him, though, you're correct, it's not due to attractiveness.

(He is in quite good shape, though. I kind of wonder why he is, given that's he's never shown to be doing any kind of exercise.)

Spoiler for future stuff:

I should point out, though, that Kyon could easily get Miyoko if he worked hard enough at it.

Let's see... Tachibana has hit on Kyon once, and a lot of the things Sasaki says makes a bit more sense if you accept that she's into Kyon but doesn't want to be.

That's about it though.

Spoiler for spoilerz:

When has Tachibana Kyouko hit on Kyon?
I remember Kuyoh telling him he has nice_______eyes.

Volume seven, I seem to recall.

[Khu]

*is imagining YOU HAVE SPARKLY EYES, KYON.*

*Now is seeing buildings burnt down in Twilight related rage*

Ooch.

[OkamiNoKaze]

Just so long as it's not sparkly skin

[Ithekro]

That's Itsuki.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Vampires should sparkle.
Ooh, what if Tsuruya's a vampire! She like, totally sparkles nyoro! not really//

Simply having to keep up with Haruhi probably helps. Haruhi's typically like a tornado of activity, and when you consider that she is very athletic and doesn't tire easily...

Part of the reason why I'd love to be friends with Haruhi is because it would be good for my diet.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

His build is a result of being the SOS Brigade's pack mule.

[Ithekro]

That and he's proven to be able to dogde things that should kill just about anyone else. Ryoko's blade, fireworks to the face, and Haruhi's ego.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

He still needs a bit of work with that last one.

[CrowKenobi]

Yeah, 'cause he has problems when Haruhi goes all dere on him...
