The Q & A of Haruhi Suzumiya

[ffx800]

in episode 00, why did yuki attack mikuru after that "mikuru beam"?
in episode 08 (storyline-wise), what's with the "Scarab healed your wounds!"? it feels sick.
in episode 06 (sw), when yuki said "I individually also want you to come back," is YOU in that statement plural or singular? does she like kyon?

Spoiler:

Since Haruhi's power made the Mikuru Beam real, Yuki had to "attack" Mikuru to do two things: protect Kyon from the beam and to bite Mikuru to inject nanoprobes into her to counteract Haruhi's power and negate the beam. See volume 2 of the novel for more details.

in episode 08 (storyline-wise), what's with the "Scarab healed your wounds!"? it feels sick.

Spoiler:

Actually that is an RPG reference... in essence the scarab was acting as a healing potion.

in episode 06 (sw), when yuki said "I individually also want you to come back," is YOU in that statement plural or singular? does she like kyon?

Spoiler:

The "you" is singular. As to Yuki "liking" Kyon... perhaps... see novel volume 4 and later for more insights.

in episode 04, Yuki said, "i specialize in data manipulation". does that mean there are different types of aliens?

so in episode 00, if i get it right, Koizumi had that "real" power at the rooftop? so, what's the reaction of haruhi after seeing that?

BAH. ok ok. i'll read the novel. >.<

-Well they're *all* data aliens. But Nagato does seem to be distinct from the others because Ryoko was her "subordinate." Koizumi theorizes that Nagato is more important amongst her kind than she lets on. In any case, in that specific instance, she was just "cleaning up."

Aside from which, maybe the translation is a bit off. Maybe what Nagato really means to say is that she can do these things while most people can't. "I am android. These are my functions. Commence? (y/n)"

-Maybe. Does it really matter? The anime is deliberately vague on the issue. Besides, if Haruhi can make Mikuru shoot death rays and rifle bullets out her eyes, then Koizumi manifesting his powers is just par for the course.

Just a question, how many volumes does the anime cover for the novel...

Three.

The main arc is the entire story content of the first novel.

The second novel is about the SOS Brigade making the Mikuru movie. In the anime, you only get to see the movie itself.

The third novel is a collection of short stories that aren't actually part of the main story arc. The only exception is the story "Live a Live," which is actually in novel #6. "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody" is never shown in the anime although it is in the third volume. However, because Bamboo Leaf is so important story-wise, it is commonly assumed that the sequel to the series will have to include it.

EDIT: Also, I love that avatar.

Ok, I have a question:

Apparently, in the previews for the next episode, Haruhi names the episode number that follows chronologically. Well, I was watching episode 05 (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 3). Chronologically, the episode that follows is supposed to be episode 10 (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 4), but in the preview she says the one that's supposed to follow is episode 09. What's up with that?

[Takuto19]

I was wondering something about the Novel, is it different from normal manga? As in is it just writing with a few pictures or is it manga style with drawings on every page?

Been wondering if i should just read the translation of them.

[holyman282]

A novel is a novel and a manga is a manga.. There is no novel that's like a manga, otherwise it'll be called a novel...

Basically it's just a novel, don't expect it to be like a manga....

Well, when it broadcast here, the episode follows chronologically(Part 3 > Part4). And yeah, you're right only that part that Haruhi say it wrong. I wanna know why too? >,<

[AnimeL0ver]

just wondering...is there any possiblity that season 2 will come out?

[panzerfan]

It's already confirmed that season 2 is in production, and the sneak preview from a 'vital' segment of the Haruhi storyline was shown.

[DevilMayCare]

I have another question:

The driver of the car when Itsuki explains the anthropic principle to Kyon, was he the butler from Remote Island Syndrome?

[dpryciak]

my stupid little question: what is with episode 13 of season 1? Um, just air space????

[panzerfan]

dpryciak:calm before the storm.
devilmaycare: Yes, that was Arakawa.

[dpryciak]

Thankee...

and WHAT is a camel cricket????

[Twisted Reality]

ffx800
Believe me, Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the more interesting story than the one where they're making the movie. Oh and if you're reading this: spoilers.

DevilMayCare
The driver is never explicitly shown to be Arakawa. In the novel, I think Kyon takes notice of the fact that the driver seems to ignore their odd conversation. There are not many taxi drivers who'd ignore a conversation about some school girl being God. So it is implied that he is somebody from Itsuki's Organization. I don't even think this is the last time he has a taxi cab conversation with Kyon. It hardly matters though.

dpryciak
Cave cricket, not camel cricket. I assume they live in caves and look like crickets.

[DevilMayCare]

Another question: Who was the woman in the beginning of Remote Island Syndrome Part 1?

[Mirrinus]

Older Makoto Sawatari from Kanon

Seriously now, no one really knows. It's just a red herring.
