Future Episode Synopses/Series Predictions/General Speculation

[Onizuka-GTO]

kyon dies?! Ohnoes¬! the world will end! dooooooom! >.<

[panzerfan]

Hard to say really. Kyon's sister might fill his shoes and narriate in his lieu.

Spoiler:

Haruhi can simply wish it be otherwise and she can 'make it so'. It might create chaos all across in the process though.

So let's feed the speculation machine for a moment, what if say hypothetically, Kyon is "killed" in a future episode, what do you think would transpire from such an act?

The novels

Spoiler:

already covered that

, I heard.

Spoiler:

One character believe the end-result will be good. So an attempt was made on Kyon's life...

[panzerfan]

Spoiler:

but that attempt was not successful so crisis was averted...

[Onizuka-GTO]

OMG! Kyon Sisters?! The heartless- I would never of believed....



Edit: oh. it ok now. whew.

[Shirobane]

@Vallen Chaos Valiant

Spoiler:

Oh I know at least that much that there will be an attempt on Kyon's life, I was simply suggesting if for some reason Kyon actually "died" from that, at least in Haruhi's mind.

@panzerfan

Spoiler:

and that's assuming that she realises and can control her power though

but in acordance with the spoiler, she could just choose a new key too no?

I know the novels cover a bit on what happens when Haruhi isn't happy,

Spoiler:

Basically what Onizuka described already...

but what would happen when she's distressed?

Not really,

Spoiler:

The character in question (and the faction she represented) didn't know for certain that killing Kyon would end in a 'good' result. She/They merely believed that any result, good or bad, any reaction from Haruhi, world ending or not, was better than the current 'stalemate'.

Spoiler for Haruhi's reaction to a hypothesized Kyon death, Novel 1 end:

Well at the end of the novel the only thing that kept Haruhi from remaking a new world was the fact that Kyon wanted to return to 'this' world. So if Kyon dies, possibly the only thing that ties Haruhi to wanting to be in 'this' world is gone. Plus Haruhi would (subconsciously) have lost her faith in 'this' world where Kyon has died. Thus I think it is extremely likely she would remake a new world (possibly one in which Kyon is alive? ) if Kyon died.

Spoiler:

Her face turns blue, looks scared and worried while accompanying the unconscious Kyon onto the ambul... oh wait this is spoiler *raises spoiler shield around this paragraph*. ^^;

Well, the anime will probably never get that far, so this should be ok. ^^;

Really, if the Kyoani isn't going to cover 消失 (vol.4) in the anime, then I demand a season 2 where they do it + 陰謀 (vol.7).

But anyway, if Haruhi really "lost faith" in the world, then the outcome will probably be like what melange explained above.

Spoiler:

The world will be replaced (possibly through a lockdown dimension), and a new world will be created from scratch to Haruhi's specification (desire).

oh noes!! the worlds ending...again!!!

Kyon...Haruhi.... NooOOooooooooOOO! >.<

I've found "NFSW" to be a good attractor to spoiler clicking

[Onizuka-GTO]

wat the hell does "NFSW" mean?

*clicks the spoiler*

Wtf?! dammit That does work!

sugoi.

NSFW = Not Suitable For Work.

And, I'm not entirely sure convincing people to read the spoilers is entirely the best of ideas... but YMMV

[Onizuka-GTO]

who said i wanted them to read the spoiler because it's the best?

I just want them all to be corrupted! muwahahaha! read the spoilers! yaaar!

Dunno if anyone have noticed this yet...but you know how in the end of every episode there's a preview and Suzumiya would mention a chapter then Kyon correct her? The chapter mentioned by Suzumiya is actually the volume of the novel where the next episode originate from. (e.g. ep4's baseball scene happens in vol7 of the novel)

Your intuition is right though it has already been mentioned before However, the episode number Haruhi mentions is not the volume the story originates from but indicates more or less the chronological order of the episodes. Episode 4's baseball scene (episode 7 according to Haruhi) actually comes from Vol. 3, but it comes right after the events of Vol. 1 (which is thus deduced to take up six episodes) in the timeline.

Ugg...I think I got the orders of the novels all wrong...can someone tell me the order of the volumes?

I have a little guess here, i was halfway towards sleeping when i thought of this, if I don't post this I probably won't be able to sleep tonight lol :

Spoiler:

Most, if not all of us know that ep 1 is a hint to what all the characters are. like mikuru, yuki and itsuki are indeed what they were acting as.

But haruhi and kyon were not presented much visually. Nothing was said about them, except that we know kyon was the 'super narrator' and haruhi is the 'super director'.

I think the super narrator and super director terms are really hints for the both of them. Well, I've been reading around here and i learnt about the theory that haruhi and kyon existed for each other and such.

So haruhi as the super director refers to her omnipotent powers to create and cause things to go as she likes. She literally directs the world around her.

Kyon as the super narrator would mean that he's the person that makes haruhi's wishes possible. He narrates haruhi's story, without him the story cant carry on.

Well if the above was already mentioned by someone, i guess my info collection skills must have failed and you may deem this piece of data irrelevant lol

[Adigard]

Spoiler for C.A.'s Post:

Kyon's role as narrator doesn't seem to exactly match up within the show. I doubt Haruhi is paying that much attention to his internal monologue (after all, we're pretty sure she isn't an Esper). He doesn't appear to make Haruhi's wishes possible so much as...

Spoiler:

being the key

Spoiler for spoilers from EP0:

It's widely accepted (at least on this forum) that Itsuki was playing Kyon in that first episode. That point is best illustrated (IMO) when Itsuki starts talking to Yuki in his room about being a key.

"I see. In any case, he... No. In these scene, it would be me."

Also, Haruhi was the director, but Kyon was both Narrator and Cameraman.

Although, I don't think we should take Ep0 literally. Yuki is obviously a magican (or close enough, from her incantation in ep7), and an alien to boot. Mikuru is from the future... and oddly enough... a bit of a waitress from her tea serving scenes in ep7 (but a miserable failure as a combat waitress T_T). But I don't think Itsuki(taking Kyon's place) is meant to choose between the two girls for the sake of the universe.
