Beezy said:I can't stop watching that performance scene. This is definitely my favorite episode. I think I need a new avatar.
That was such an amazing scene. It sorat reminded me of the final performance in Beck, where you just get chills listening to it.
And did Haruhi "bend reality" once again? It started raining right before her performance, so everyone rushed into to auditorium to see her, nice timing. Very interesting...

Holtz said:Yep, the Koizumi car talk was LOOOOOOONG and so ****ing dull. Poorly presented exposition to the max. It got a little bit better towards the end, but still pretty boring. Thak God the next and last one promises to be awesome.
I didn't think so personally; it's not the first time they have done a long explanation, and I get the impression the audience is supposed to be treating it like Kyon in only half listening to what's being said because it sounds so crazy. And as penultimate episodes go, it did exactly what it needed to do: set up the final episode and tell us what, exactly, is the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Kyon's very good at dealing with all of the crap but what he does next is really going to define how the show ends, and I appreciate how the writers slowly brought up those arguments to us. The only thing I was confused about is whether a previous episode set up this search for the renegade lackey - I know she's gone but Haruhi's sudden insistence on finding her was a little odd.
Crazymoogle said:
Episode 11 set up the search.
Haruhi jumped on it since, it's something to do. But man she gave up so damned easily. Was kind of out of character for her to give up so easy.
Yeah, the episode explained what the meloncholy was. But it did it in a poor way. Yeah, not the first time a long speech has been done, but this time, it was ****in dull. The speech didn't sound crazy (like Nagato's), but it was just damned dull. Plus, "I'm going to show you my powers." Weaksauce. Seriously. GTFO.
I still believe everything is bout Kyon (and Haruhi is probably made up by him as well, so he could witness all these extraordinary events without being the event. But that's pointless speculation), but we'll see. Least enjoyable episode though. Real let down. =(
Kintaro said:
Not really. The novel's still hasn't gotten to any revelation about that issue and the anime reached about the 3rd volume, with the end of the Melancholy storyline, which ended before summer, as series/season finale by using an anachronic order.
As for the episode I agree that it turned out somewhat dull, but you can't blame them as the novel was pretty much the same.
She also gave up a case in Ep. 7, stating 'it'll sort itself out anyway' or something along those lines
And Ep 13 is drawn out, but be thankful they didn't drag it out much more than they had to (with even more explanations that don't make sense and such). Episode 14 should be good.
(that and searching the disappeared fellow classmate makes for a convenient plot and backstory device.

btw, will anyone be rewatching the series in the "Haruhi" order? As in, how Haruhi puts the episodes in her own order in the next episode previews? I wonder how things will work out watching them at way. Since the last episode (episode 14) will be episode 6 in Haruhi order....

Pretty lame episode. Not that it had a chance of living up to 12, but the last thing this show needed was even more hype surrounding whatever the **** happened inside that bubble thing in the next ep. It's been toying the audience about the next episode since what, ep 3? Ep 4? While it did a dandy job with Haruhi's bit, and I liked Koizumi's silly exposition, almost all of the null space bit was unnecessary. Worse than that, it made Koizumi's character and the whole null zone concept alot duller.
And I'm still saying that all the kids are full of shit, lying their asses off. None of the outrageous shit they've done has affected anyone in the least. It's a clear sign that either Haruhi or Kyon (probably) or whoever are just letting their imagination run wild.

Bleach is a perfect example of misadventures of teenages being that they are random 15 year old kids draged into a whole mess of soul society and hollows by a random death god..... :-/ Oh and Bleach is aimed at kids/teenagers..... :-/Well that's not really Haruhi order, it's the order........ That's why we have already seen the ending of this series and the final ep won't have a typical ending..... Well really you can't expect much of an ending when the novels haven't finished yet and pretty much everything from this series is from the first novel... I few things go further ahead then this, but, yeah 1st novel... With the popularity of this show however another series is pretty much guarenteed though.
Personally I've liked all the episodes up until now even episode 9 was cool. XD
Pachinko said:
Here's hoping for a second season, and thanks GAF for recommending this show. Now what'll I watch though... witchblade was liscensed and bleach and naruto are STILL in filler.
I hear ya. Haven't watched it yet, myself, but all the good stuff is ending. Haruhi was just too short. Yakitate ended not too long ago.
One Piece is going to go on for frickin ever and while K-F has been doing a good job, the only group doing the most recent episodes hasn't released anything in over 2 months.
Bleach, yeah, wtf. It needs to get out of this stupid filler. Even with a bunch of double episodes, it's taking FORRREEEVVEERRR.

*sigh* Manga switch time. Though sometimes I really enjoy doing that - jumping right over to the manga for an anime that's ended (ie: Genshiken.)
Belfast said:
Err...not so...releases are out for up to the most recent episode (#270). Knee deep into the Enies Lobby arc. I imagine there will be a few off weeks for the show just to keep pace properly - Oda still hasn't ended this arc in the manga!
Watched the final episode. Pretty darn good. I enjoyed it alot. At this point, there really doesn't need to be any second season as it finished nicely. I wouldn't object though. =)
I was...partly right though. In a way, it does all revolve around Kyon. =)

Just finished watching the last episode. Great ep, and the series was very good as a whole. Everything was tied together nicely for now.
So... okay, wow.
Seeing all the avatars of this series around GAF made me want to watch it and I'm glad I did. I went through the first thirteen episodes in two days (finished two days ago), in fact, and of course the last one was tonight. It was kind of a hit-and-miss show in that seven episodes were fantastic, three were boring, and four were good, but in general I really liked it.
In spite of that, I'm not sure yet if I want a second season. I know there's probably enough material in the novels to support it, and admittedly part of me is screaming "run this series dry until it sucks so bad it gets cancelled like post-Kyoto arc Rurouni Kenshin."
Then the other part says that it's all too likely that any future episodes would continue this heavy focus on Kyon, which would be superbly awful for me since he's my least favorite of the entire cast, and a character who ran out of things to say by the sixth if not fifth episode. (Honestly, it literally wasn't until this final episode at the 16:13-16:16 mark that he said anything that made me personally care about him.)
But anyway, yeah. I lean toward wanting more, just not too decisively so.

Well, it's over. A great finale for a great series. There is still a lot of stuff they didn't explain
Still, this series stands on its own. If Kyoto Animation decides to animate more Haruhi after they are done with Kanon, great. If not, this series will be good enough. Well done.

Complete timeline for Haruhi, based on the novels. BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR THE BOOKS:
TIMELINE:
Big Bang - Data Entities begin their existence since the formation of the universe; they merged with one another as they gathered even more data. These data entities eventually formed the Integrated Data Sentient Entity. (Volume 1)
circa 280 million years BH (Before Haruhi) - At some point, part of the data entities branched off to evolve into an imperfect form, due to their imperfect form, they were soon eliminated by natural selection. But one survived and ended up hibernating in pre-historic Earth, waiting for its chance to re-emerge. (Volume 3 Mysterique Sign)
14 BH Tsuruya born
13 BH Suzumiya Haruhi born, Kyon born, Koizumi Itsuki born, Taniguchi and Kunikida as well
8 BH Kyons sister born
~1-3 BH Kyons grandmother called him by his present nickname, his sister helped spread it, and the name stuck (Volume 1)
0AH (After Haruhi)
Before March Haruhi is still in elementary school. One day, her father took her to a baseball game. It is here when she realized how insignificant humans are in this universe.
April Haruhi enrols at East Junior High. She begins her eccentric quest to search for aliens, time travellers, dimension travellers, and espers.
At this time, Haruhis hidden powers were awaken, this causes the following:
1. As a mere human, Haruhi is able to create tons of data that cannot be processed in a human lifetime. The Integrated Data Sentient Entity is very interested in this new stream of data, as it believes these data, once analyzed, could hold the key for its own evolution.
As the Integrated Data Entity is incapable of speech, it has created many Living Humanoid Interfaces, including Nagato Yuki and Asakura Ryouko, to interact with humans and observe Haruhi from a close distance. Both Yuki and Ryouko stay in the high-class apartment block near the local train station in Stand-By mode, preparing to enter the high school Haruhi enters three years from now.
2. Haruhi is also able to create a massive timequake, creating a huge time fault between the present time plane and the previous time planes. The time travellers from the future are thus unable to travel any further before this year. The future authorities sent specialists to investigate, but are unable to find out why, save that Haruhi is the culprit.
3. Koizumi Itsuki and 9 others suddenly have supernatural powers. They and other humans also suddenly become aware of Haruhis ability to affect the reality and form the Consortium (Kikan).
Every time Haruhi feels depressed, a Sealed Dimension is created randomly, in which blue giants Shinjins wreak havoc. If these Shinjins continue to their destruction, then their destruction would manifest itself in the real world. Koizumi and his companions job is to use their powers inside these Sealed Dimensions and destroy these Shinjins. The Consortium sent various agents to observe Haruhi.
The above three forces are often at odds with each other concerning Haruhi, though the reason is not yet known to the readers. (Volume 2)
July 7th (Tanabata Festival)
8:30pm Kyon from three years later (Alternate World December 20th, 3AH) arrives at this time plane, he realizes where he is and rushes to the park and hides awaiting his other self to arrive. (Volume 4)
9:00pm Another Kyon and Mikuru from three years later (July 7th, 3AH) arrive at this time plane at the park near the station. Mikuru then falls unconscious, thanks an even future Mikuru (Kyon calls her Mikuru (Big)). (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:05pm Mikuru (Big) urges Kyon to carry Mikuru (Small) to East Junior High and assist the person at the gate there. Kyon, with Mikuru (small) walks westwards towards East Junior High (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:10pm Mikuru (Big) walks slowly eastwards, the other Kyon (Kyon2 here, for simplicitys sake) runs up to her and explains his situation. Mikuru (Big) then has a conversation with Kyon2, and requests his and Yukis help to restore the future timeline. (Volume 4)
9:30pm Kyon, carrying Mikuru (Small), arrives at East Junior High and finds a younger Haruhi trying to get inside her school. Kyon decides to help Haruhi draw the signs on schools courtyard, using white chalk powder tied onto a trolley by Haruhi. The sign in alien language, according to Yukis interpretation some time in the future to Kyon, reads I am here. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:35pm Haruhi asks for Kyons name, Kyon calls himself John Smith. Haruhi then walks home. Mikuru (Small) wakes up and finds her time travelling device, the Time Plane Destroy Device (TPDD), is missing. (It was Mikuru (Big) that took it away, since this occurrence was inevitable)
Kyon remembers the drawings on the bookmark Yuki gave him before he and Mikuru (Small) departed from the future. He has a hunch Yuki is also here in this time plane, and decides to go and ask this Yuki (on Stand-By mode) for help. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:40pm Kyon2 and Mikuru (Big) decide to visit Yuki, but they have to wait for Kyon and Mikuru (Small) to visit Yuki first. So Kyon2 goes towards the street and sees Haruhi walking off, and shouted, according to his memory, Please take good care of John Smith, who will shake the world!
Haruhi will remember this line, and eventually tells John Smith about this in an alternate future 3 years from now. (Volume 4)
9:45pm Kyon and Mikuru (Small) visits the Yuki here and explains their situation. Yuki connects with her future self and verifies Kyons story, and decides to help Kyon and Mikuru (Small). She has them sleep together in a futon in a room, she then freezes the time in the room and puts them in stasis, only to unfreeze them three years later. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
10:00pm Kyon2 and Mikuru (Big) visits Yuki. Yuki tries connecting with her future self again, but is unable to, since her future self has selectively blocked connection for some reason. Yuki decides Kyon2s story is true and assists him as well, but she cant travel with them back to the future, as she has to take care of the frozen Kyon and Mikuru (Small).
She injects nano-machines into Kyon and Mikuru, so they wont be affected by the reality change caused by the culprit on December 18th, 3AH. She also creates a nano-machine gun, this gun is to be injected into the culprits body in order to restore the future reality to its original state.
She then reveals who the culprit is her future self. (More on December 18th, 3AH entry) After that, Mikuru (Big) uses the TPDD she took from Mikuru (Small) and returns to the December 18th, 3AH with Kyon2. (Volume 4)
2AH Tsuruya enrols at North High.
3AH
April
- Kyon enrols at North High and meets Haruhi for the first time.
- Haruhi enrols at North High (most likely due to the face that John Smith was a North High student).
- Yuki and Ryouko begin their mission and enrol at North High as well.
- The future authorities send Mikuru to this time plane and she enrols in North High to begin her mission of observing North High, befriending Tsuruya along the way.
- Kyon observes Haruhis eccentric behaviour for some time, then began having daily conversations with her before every days home room session, as he sits in front of her.
- One day, Kyon implants in Haruhis mind the idea of forming a club. Inspired by this, Haruhi forms the SOS Brigade. She kidnaps Mikuru and occupies the Literary Club room as their headquarters.
(Yuki has been waiting for them, as Kyon told her to 3 years ago. So she has an advantage over Ryouko, who tried unsuccessfully to actively engage with Haruhi.)
(Volume 1)
May
- The Consortium arranges for Koizumi Itsuki transfer to North High to assist in their surveillance of Haruhi, whose mental state has begun to go unstable again, thanks to Kyons unwitting encouragement.
Haruhi decides to invite this mysterious transfer student to the SOS Brigade. (Koizumi was shocked and terrified when an excited Haruhi approached him and have him join the SOS Brigade, as he had originally planned to just secretly observe Haruhi. (Volume 5))
- Yuki, Mikuru and Koizumi all revealed their true identities to Kyon respectively, and explained their motives for gathering around Haruhi and observing her.
[ - Haruhi took the SOS Brigade one Sunday to search for anything mysterious. Kyon was paired with Mikuru in the morning (where she told him where she came from), while being paired with Yuki in the afternoon.
- As Kyon decided to bring Yuki to the library to kill time, Kyon's junior high classmate Nakagawa (whom Kyon doesn't even remember) walks past them and is instantly mesmerized by Yuki.
- What Nakagawa doesn't know is that he's a half-esper, being secretly considered as a candidate by Koizumi's "Consortium". His latent powers allow him to partially sense the presence of the Integrated Data Entity within Yuki. He misinterprets this overwhelming inflow of data as "love at first sight" and becomes obsessed with her for the next six months.
(Volume 6, Crazy LOVER) ]
- One month since the formation of the SOS Brigade, and Haruhi begins to get depressed at the lack of mysterious and interesting events. More Sealed Dimensions are created as a result.
- Ryouko could no longer stand this status quo and decides to do something about it. She lures Kyon into a trap and tries to kill Kyon, in order to trigger a reaction from Haruhi. But she is thwarted by Yuki, who saved Kyon at the nick of time, and is eliminated by Yuki.
- Kyon then meets Mikuru (Big) (who showed him her star-shaped birthmark on her breast), she told Kyon not to get too close with her, and warns that something is about to happen, though she couldnt reveal much, she gave Kyon a hint Snow White
- Koizumi shows Kyon a Sealed Dimension, and the Shinjins as well as his powers in dealing with them. He says these dimensions have increased in frequency lately.
- One day, Haruhis depression drew both her and the person she wants to be with most Kyon, into a Sealed Dimension. Koizumi manages to enter the dimension with great difficulty, and before disappearing, tells Kyon that Haruhis depression is leading her to decide to destroy the old world and create a new world.
Through the computer, Yuki leaves Kyon with another hint Sleeping Beauty. Kyon understood the hint: to give Haruhi something to hope for in their original world so that she would not despair of it him, so he reluctantly kisses her and they both re-awake back in their world. Though Haruhi thought it was all a bad dream afterwards.
(Volume 1)
June
Haruhi is so bored she decides to have the SOS Brigade join the local baseball tournament. Halfway through their game with the Kamigahara Pirates, with the SOS Brigade one inning away from defeat, Haruhis frustrations create a Sealed Dimension.
Koizumi convinces Yuki to manipulate the match data to turn the game in the SOS Brigades favour in order to literally save the world. The SOS Brigade won the match eventually.
Kyon then convinces Haruhi to pull out (out of fear that Yukis manipulation wont go unnoticed for long), Haruhi decides baseballs boring and agrees. (She then wanted to join a soccer and American football tournament, but thats another story.) (Volume 3, The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi)
July
July 7th (Tanabata Festival) Haruhi brings in a bamboo shoot, she says its used for making wishes to the lovers of the Tanabata Festival.
After hanging their wishes on the bamboo shoot, Haruhi goes home. Mikuru then asks Kyon to stay behind and travel with her to the past three years ago. Before leaving, Yuki gives Kyon a bookmark with strange signs on it.
July 8th Kyon and Mikuru wake up in Yukis room after being frozen for three whole years by Yuki, who has reanimated them. For Kyon, the sleep only took seconds.
(Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
- Haruhi creates a logo for the SOS Brigade website and uploads it to the web. Unbeknownst to her, the logo awakened the long hibernating Imperfect Data Entity and it begins to duplicate itself across the web using the logo as its physical manifestation.
It sucks in any user (total of 8, including the president of the Computer Society) who has seen the logo on the website and creates a dimension for it to reside in.
- Kimidori Emiri, a second year student, visits the SOS Brigade to ask for help to find her boyfriend, the Computer Society president.
The SOS Brigade visit the presidents apartment. Besides Haruhi, the rest discover the existence of a hidden dimension and visit it again after Haruhi went home.
They promptly rescued the unconscious president and destroyed this Imperfect Data Entity.
- They went and rescued the other 7 people who have visited the website. In order to stop the Data Entity from spreading again, Yuki had the logo slightly altered so that it reads ZOZ instead of SOS, though its barely noticeable.
- Kyon finds out that the Computer Society president never had a girlfriend, he wonders who Kimidori is.
He also realizes Yuki could have dealt with this all on her own, yet she let the whole SOS Brigade in on this. He began to wonder if Yuki is lonely.
(Volume 3, Mysterique Sign)
- In order to keep Haruhi from getting bored, Koizumi, with help from his companions from the Consortium Tamaru Keiichi and Tamaru Yutaka, Arakawa, and Mori Sonou, arranged a summer field trip for the SOS Brigade, with a secret murder mystery, in which everyone is nearly fooled into thinking Tamaru Keiichi has been murdered.
Though in the end, Kyon managed to figure out the truth. Haruhi seemed pretty satisfied with this game afterwards and puts Koizumi in charge of the murder mystery game for their coming winter field trip. (Volume 3, Lone Island Syndrome)
August
August 17th August 31st
After coming back from a trip with his family, Kyon got dragged into a flurry of activities by Haruhi in the last two weeks of summer holidays.
Unwittingly, the whole world, with the exception of Yuki (and other Living Humanoid Interfaces probably), have been trapped in a time loop that repeats itself on August 17th, with everyones memories being completely reset (Yuki is not affected thanks to the omniscience of the Integrated Data Entity, which transcends time and space).
The SOS Brigade members, due to their proximity to Haruhi, experiences some déjà vu from time to time. Whenever Mikuru realizes she has lost contact with her future, that is when the SOS Brigade realize theyre stuck in a time loop.
(Yuki says theyve been in this time loop for 15,498 times already i.e. 548 years, and this is the 6000+ time theyve found out.) The reason theyre stuck is that Haruhi never seem to be completely satisfied with this summer vacation.
Then on the 15,498th time, Kyon realizes what is missing he invites the SOS Brigade to do their summer vacation homework together on the last day.
Haruhi, being the bright student that she is, never experienced doing homework with her friends, as shes finished hers long ago. But since its Kyon that hasnt completed her homework, she decides to help out, since she doesnt want to be left out.
September 1st Due to Haruhi now being satisfied with her summer vacation, the world has now broken free of the endless time loop and time moves forward again.
(Volume 5 Endless Eight)
November
- Haruhi decides to make a SOS Brigade movie for the school festival, starring Mikuru, Yuki and Koizumi, with herself as director, producer and writer, and Kyon in charge of all the menial tasks, including being the camera man.
- Extras including Tsuruya, Kunikida and Taniguchi are brought in. Shamisen the cat is adopted by Kyon, under Haruhis orders.
- During the shooting of the movie, Haruhi unwittingly alters reality, these include: Mikuru beam (now rendered harmless with Yukis nano-machines), Shamisen talking, and pigeons turning their feathers white overnight.
- Eventually, Kyon got into a fight with Haruhi. Haruhi becomes so depressed that Koizumi fears for the worst and urges Kyon to make up with her. Kyon, for some reason unknown to him, decides to cheer up Haruhi.
However, this creates the opposite extreme, in which Haruhi could potentially create irreversible alterations on reality, as Haruhi is unable to distinguish her reality from the movie reality.
- Kyon is eventually able to find a simple solution during the editing of the movie he convinces Haruhi to put a disclaimer at the end of the movie, declaring everything in the movie, including all the special effects, as fiction.
- Kyon half-guessed the movements of some underground clandestine activity between the three forces during the school festival as they were all dressed in funny costumes, no one suspected them as they were believed to be in a play
(Volume 2)
- The movie, "Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00" is shown in the school festival with <strike>mixed</strike> great success (according to the director) after its showing in the Movie Club's theatre (they got coerced and blackmailed by Haruhi to show the movie ahead of their selection).
(Volume 6, Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00)
- Haruhi then spent the next few days during the School Festival (trying) to hand out SOS Brigade flyers in her bunny suit.
- On the last day, she came across a three girl rock band about to perform at the festival concert. Their lead singer and songwriter had suffered from tonsillitis that day and was unable to perform.
- The remaining band members were at a lost at what to do, when for some reason which even she herself couldn't explain, Haruhi decided to step in and help them.
- Haruhi listened to the audition tapes only three times and decided to be the lead singer. She enlisted the help of Yuki as the guitarist (which Yuki agreed and learnt instantly, in a matter of seconds).
- Haruhi and Yuki then performed in place of the band's lead singer (in their costumes, Haruhi in bunny suit, Yuki is magician suit).
- The audience were stunned by Haruhi's performance, but after Haruhi explained that she and Yuki were only stand-ins, they were even more amazed. If the stand-ins were already this good, then the original performance must be incredible. This resulted in the high demand for the band's audition tapes, and the band's career could now begin to take off.
- A few days later, the band members visited Haruhi's classroom to thank her from the bottom of their heart. Haruhi seemed uncomfortable at being thanked at, since she wasn't used to helping others before. But her waverings were swept away for now when she came up with a plan to form the SOS Band for next year's school festival.
(Volume 6 - LIVE ALIVE)
- To avenge their unjust humiliation at the hands of Haruhi, the Computer Society challenges the SOS Brigade to a duel on an online real-time strategy game, The Day of Sagittarius.
- If they win, then the SOS Brigade will need to hand over the computer Haruhi obtained from them. The odds seem to be against the SOS Brigade, the Computer Society even have the game rigged in their favour. However, they completely underestimated the potential of Yuki.
- The game seems to have ignited a passion in Yuki unseen before, and before long, she has turned the tables on the Computer Society and won the game for the SOS Brigade.
- The Computer Society begged for mercy from Haruhi, and pleaded with Yuki to come visit them time to time to show them her computer mastery.
- Kyon, seemingly understanding of Yukis feelings, urges her to take a break from observing Haruhi all the time and occasionally go play the computer.
(Volume 5, The Day of Sagittarius)
December
December 17th Haruhi proposes a Christmas party to the SOS Brigade. Kyon doesnt realize anything unusual at this moment.
December 18th
After midnight (original reality)
- Kyon (called Kyon-P here) and Mikuru (Big) arrive from July 7th, 0AH and wait for the culprit to arrive and alter reality.
- With a lot of impure data accumulating inside, Yuki begins to lose control of herself. Yuki doesnt know it, but Kyon calls the impure data emotions, which Yuki seemed to lack but is beginning to lose control due to not being able to handle the overload of emotions.
- By somehow stealing Haruhis ability to alter reality, Yuki uses this power to change the fabric of reality, including herself. The best she could do to reduce this lost of control was to retain Kyons memories of this world.
- Kyon-P and Mikuru (Big) confront Yuki, who has now become just a weak-willed bookish girl. Kyon-P takes out the nano-machine gun that Yuki three years ago created for him.
- Ryouko, who has been revived in this altered reality, appears and stabs Kyon-P with a knife. Before Ryouko is able to finish Kyon-P off, she is stopped by another Yuki from the future.
- This future Yuki (called Yuki-F) came with Mikuru (Small) and Kyon (called Kyon-F here), to return and complete the task that Kyon-P has not been able to complete. They successfully injected the present Yuki with the nano-machines and restored the reality to its original form.
- Kyon-F takes his unconscious past self, Kyon-P to a few hours into the future.
- (Though its not mentioned, I believe Yuki-F has to transport the original Kyon (Kyon-O) into the altered reality. This is to ensure Kyon-O goes through the experiences of being in the altered reality, or both Kyon-P and Kyon-F wouldnt have existed in the first place to come back and restore the problem, as they came from Kyon-O and have his memories.)
Afternoon (restored reality)
- Yuki-F alters everyones memories, to make everyone think that the SOS Brigade had a meeting about the Christmas party, and on the way out of the room, Kyon tumbled down the stairs and fell into a coma for the next three days. This Kyon is Kyon-P.
Evening (restored reality)
- Kyon-P sleeps unconscious in a hospital room arranged by Koizumis Consortium. Haruhi stays by Kyon-Ps side all night.
Morning-Evening (altered reality)
- Kyon-O goes to school to find that the whole world is turned upside down. Haruhi has disappeared, so has Koizumi and his whole class.
Mikuru is just a normal 2nd year student, and Yuki is just a quiet bookish girl. On the other hand, Ryouko has now re-appeared. It seems Kyon-O is the only one with his memories intact.
December 19th
Altered reality
- Kyon visits the Literary Club room again, where Yuki is. Yuki blushed time and again whenever Kyon looks at her.
- While examining the bookshelf, Kyon picked up the book which Yuki used to lend him in the original reality.
There he found a bookmark with a cryptic message from the original Yuki an escape program to be activated in two days time once the key is obtained. This is Kyons only clue to return to his reality.
- The Yuki here suddenly invites Kyon to her apartment. She tells Kyon about how she remembers Kyon at the library, though her memory is different from that of Kyons.
- Ryouko comes to visit and cooks dinner for Yuki, since Yuki lives all alone.

Altered reality
- Kyon hears from Taniguchi, who was absent the other day, that Haruhi does indeed exist in this reality, only that she attends another school.
- Kyon rushes to that school, and finds her and Koizumi in the same school. Both their memories have been altered and they dont recognize Kyon.
- In desperation, Kyon uses his final card, he tells Haruhi he is John Smith from three years ago.
- Haruhi didnt question Kyon and believed him at once, since she does remember John Smith Kyon now knows at least the past hasnt been altered and has hopes again.
- After telling Haruhi and Koizumi his story, Haruhi decides to visit the SOS Brigade room. She enters the school with Koizumi and Kyon.
- Haruhi then kidnaps Mikuru, and with Koizumi and Kyon, entered the club room, where a surprised Yuki is waiting.
- With all SOS Brigade members in the room, the key to the escape program is activated in the old computer in the room.
In order to escape, Kyon hits the enter key. This takes him back to July 7th, 0AH, where he will need to get the help of Mikuru (Big) and the past Yuki to restore the world.
Restored reality
- Kyon continues to sleep, and again, Haruhi watches over him and even stays overnight in the room in her sleeping bag. Occasionally, Koizumi and Mikuru come to visit as well.
December 21st
Restored reality
- Kyon finally wakes up. Koizumi told him what happened (the altered memory version). Everyone is glad, though Haruhi doesnt show it.
- That night, Yuki came to visit Kyon alone. She apologizes to Kyon for all this trouble and says she may have to leave to prevent this from happening again.
- Kyon forgives Yuki for who she is, and threatens to stimulate Haruhi (by telling her hes John Smith) if the Integrated Data Entity decide to take Yuki away from the SOS Brigade. Yuki thanks Kyon for his help.
- Kyon realizes he needs to go back to December 18th some time in the future with Yuki and Mikuru in order to make sure this restored reality remains the way it is.
(Volume 4)
December 25th SOS Brigade Christmas party, Haruhi declares the winter field trip will take place on the 30th.
Tsuruya, who is invited to the party, has agreed to provide her mansion in the mountains as the venue for the field trip. Koizumis Consortium companions, Arakawa, Mori Sonou and the Tamaru brothers, will also help prepare the murder mystery.
Between December 25th and December 30th
- Kyon's junior high classmate, Nakagawa, unable to contain his passion for Yuki any longer, decides to ring Kyon up after remembering that Kyon used to be his classmate.
- He begs Kyon to write Yuki a ridiculous love letter for him. After reluctantly doing so, Kyon gets in trouble with an enraged (and jealous) Haruhi after she stumbled upon the letter. Surprisingly, Yuki decides to go and see Nakagawa.
- A few days later, the SOS Brigade visit Nakagawa's high school to see Nakagawa play an inter-school friendly for his American football team. Yuki, realizing that Nakagawa could sense the Integrated Data Entity, modified and deleting his esper powers (via giving him a minor percussion during the match).
- After coming to his senses in the hopital and meeting Yuki and Kyon there, Nakagawa no longer feels the same passion he had for Yuki before. Kyon was puzzled until Yuki explained to him. Kyon asked whether Yuki was disappointed that Nakagawa was actually interested in the Integrated Data Entity and not her, Yuki simply replied, "A bit."
(Volume 6, Crazy LOVER)
December 30th
- The SOS Brigade, Tsuruya, and Kyons sister (who has decided to come along at the last minute) arrive at Tsuruyas mansion.
- Haruhi decides they should go do some skiing, while Tsuruya builds some snowmen with Kyons sister.
- During their skiing, they got caught in a mysterious blizzard, in which not even Yuki can find the way out.
- They came across a mysterious mansion, which seems to have different time warps, and can seemingly provide anything they want (like food, entertainment, etc), except an escape route.
- Kyon tells Koizumi about his experiences in the alternate reality. Koizumi then speculates that Yuki and Haruhi are beginning to lose their powers.
- Koizumi says someone as powerful as the Integrated Data Entity has deliberately have them trapped inside this mansion in order to observe Haruhi closely, and perhaps force Haruhi to trigger a reaction.
- Yuki has been looking even more dead-pan than usual, this is because she is waging an unseen data war (according to Koizumi) with the unknown enemy in order to allow for their escape. Yuki collapsed as a result of being over exhausted, but she has left Kyon a clue as to how to escape.
- Kyon and Koizumi manages to work out the answer and the SOS Brigade escape from the mysterious mansion. For Tsuruya, only 10 minutes has passes since the swift blizzard passed. Haruhi is again confused, but buys Koizumis cover story that they were being hypnotized temporarily.
- Under Haruhi's insistence, Yuki had to stay in bed to recover from her "fever" for the night.
(Volume 5, Snow Mountain Syndrome)
December 31st The SOS Brigade begin their year-end murder mystery.
(Volume 6, Where Did the Cat Go?)
4 AH
January
- Mikuru, under cryptic orders from her superiors (who turns out to actually be her future self, Mikuru (Big) ), she is to come to a traffic crossing at a specific time on a Sunday, bringing Kyon along.
- So Mikuru invites Kyon for a "date" on that coming Sunday (without telling the rest of the SOS Brigade) to buy tea leaves. Kyon gladly agrees. Though during the date, Mikuru anxiously leads Kyon to the traffic crossing, Kyon realizes something's wrong with her, but decides to keep quiet.
- As the lights at the crossing turn to green, a bespectacled boy runs out to the crossing. At this moment, a speeding car races through, ignoring the red lights. In the nick of time, Kyon saves the boy from certain death as the car speeds off.
- After asking what the boy's name is (Kyon forgot the name already), Mikuru realizes her mission is to save the boy's life, as the boy would become an important person in her age's history. As time travallers are forbidden to directly intervene, Kyon, a native of this time plane, was enlisted to help. Before parting, she urges the boy to take good care and not get in any danger (from the "Enemy", the same "Enemy of the SOS Brigade" that Koizumi was talking about while in the mysterious snow mountain mansion).
- Mikuru then breaks down and laments that she wasn't of any help to her superiors, as they kept denying her access to more information, and the SOS Brigade. Kyon knew this isn't true, as it was Mikuru's future self, Mikuru (Big) who has helped him a lot, and Mikuru (Big) understood Mikuru (small) best, which was why she concealed the truth from her past self.
- Kyon decides now's not the right time to tell Mikuru the truth, especially the when he got stuck in the altered reality, and needing her and Yuki's help to go back in time to restore that reality. Without telling her the truth, Kyon somehow cheers Mikuru up, Mikuru is thankful for Kyon's understanding.
- The next day, Haruhi found out about Kyon and Mikuru's "secretly dating" behind her back, thanks to the bespectacled boy telling her about it. Kyon and Mikuru's "punishment" is not mentioned here.
(Volume 6, The Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru) (To be continued in volume 7)
Sometime in the near future Kyon, Yuki and Mikuru return to December 18th, 3AH, to assist the Kyon and Mikuru (Big) there in restoring the reality to its original state.
Big Bang - Data Entities begin their existence since the formation of the universe; they merged with one another as they gathered even more data. These data entities eventually formed the Integrated Data Sentient Entity. (Volume 1)
circa 280 million years BH (Before Haruhi) - At some point, part of the data entities branched off to evolve into an imperfect form, due to their imperfect form, they were soon eliminated by natural selection. But one survived and ended up hibernating in pre-historic Earth, waiting for its chance to re-emerge. (Volume 3 Mysterique Sign)
14 BH Tsuruya born
13 BH Suzumiya Haruhi born, Kyon born, Koizumi Itsuki born, Taniguchi and Kunikida as well

~1-3 BH Kyons grandmother called him by his present nickname, his sister helped spread it, and the name stuck (Volume 1)
0AH (After Haruhi)
Before March Haruhi is still in elementary school. One day, her father took her to a baseball game. It is here when she realized how insignificant humans are in this universe.
April Haruhi enrols at East Junior High. She begins her eccentric quest to search for aliens, time travellers, dimension travellers, and espers.
At this time, Haruhis hidden powers were awaken, this causes the following:
1. As a mere human, Haruhi is able to create tons of data that cannot be processed in a human lifetime. The Integrated Data Sentient Entity is very interested in this new stream of data, as it believes these data, once analyzed, could hold the key for its own evolution.
As the Integrated Data Entity is incapable of speech, it has created many Living Humanoid Interfaces, including Nagato Yuki and Asakura Ryouko, to interact with humans and observe Haruhi from a close distance. Both Yuki and Ryouko stay in the high-class apartment block near the local train station in Stand-By mode, preparing to enter the high school Haruhi enters three years from now.
2. Haruhi is also able to create a massive timequake, creating a huge time fault between the present time plane and the previous time planes. The time travellers from the future are thus unable to travel any further before this year. The future authorities sent specialists to investigate, but are unable to find out why, save that Haruhi is the culprit.
3. Koizumi Itsuki and 9 others suddenly have supernatural powers. They and other humans also suddenly become aware of Haruhis ability to affect the reality and form the Consortium (Kikan).
Every time Haruhi feels depressed, a Sealed Dimension is created randomly, in which blue giants Shinjins wreak havoc. If these Shinjins continue to their destruction, then their destruction would manifest itself in the real world. Koizumi and his companions job is to use their powers inside these Sealed Dimensions and destroy these Shinjins. The Consortium sent various agents to observe Haruhi.
The above three forces are often at odds with each other concerning Haruhi, though the reason is not yet known to the readers. (Volume 2)
July 7th (Tanabata Festival)
8:30pm Kyon from three years later (Alternate World December 20th, 3AH) arrives at this time plane, he realizes where he is and rushes to the park and hides awaiting his other self to arrive. (Volume 4)
9:00pm Another Kyon and Mikuru from three years later (July 7th, 3AH) arrive at this time plane at the park near the station. Mikuru then falls unconscious, thanks an even future Mikuru (Kyon calls her Mikuru (Big)). (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:05pm Mikuru (Big) urges Kyon to carry Mikuru (Small) to East Junior High and assist the person at the gate there. Kyon, with Mikuru (small) walks westwards towards East Junior High (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:10pm Mikuru (Big) walks slowly eastwards, the other Kyon (Kyon2 here, for simplicitys sake) runs up to her and explains his situation. Mikuru (Big) then has a conversation with Kyon2, and requests his and Yukis help to restore the future timeline. (Volume 4)
9:30pm Kyon, carrying Mikuru (Small), arrives at East Junior High and finds a younger Haruhi trying to get inside her school. Kyon decides to help Haruhi draw the signs on schools courtyard, using white chalk powder tied onto a trolley by Haruhi. The sign in alien language, according to Yukis interpretation some time in the future to Kyon, reads I am here. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:35pm Haruhi asks for Kyons name, Kyon calls himself John Smith. Haruhi then walks home. Mikuru (Small) wakes up and finds her time travelling device, the Time Plane Destroy Device (TPDD), is missing. (It was Mikuru (Big) that took it away, since this occurrence was inevitable)
Kyon remembers the drawings on the bookmark Yuki gave him before he and Mikuru (Small) departed from the future. He has a hunch Yuki is also here in this time plane, and decides to go and ask this Yuki (on Stand-By mode) for help. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
9:40pm Kyon2 and Mikuru (Big) decide to visit Yuki, but they have to wait for Kyon and Mikuru (Small) to visit Yuki first. So Kyon2 goes towards the street and sees Haruhi walking off, and shouted, according to his memory, Please take good care of John Smith, who will shake the world!
Haruhi will remember this line, and eventually tells John Smith about this in an alternate future 3 years from now. (Volume 4)
9:45pm Kyon and Mikuru (Small) visits the Yuki here and explains their situation. Yuki connects with her future self and verifies Kyons story, and decides to help Kyon and Mikuru (Small). She has them sleep together in a futon in a room, she then freezes the time in the room and puts them in stasis, only to unfreeze them three years later. (Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
10:00pm Kyon2 and Mikuru (Big) visits Yuki. Yuki tries connecting with her future self again, but is unable to, since her future self has selectively blocked connection for some reason. Yuki decides Kyon2s story is true and assists him as well, but she cant travel with them back to the future, as she has to take care of the frozen Kyon and Mikuru (Small).
She injects nano-machines into Kyon and Mikuru, so they wont be affected by the reality change caused by the culprit on December 18th, 3AH. She also creates a nano-machine gun, this gun is to be injected into the culprits body in order to restore the future reality to its original state.
She then reveals who the culprit is her future self. (More on December 18th, 3AH entry) After that, Mikuru (Big) uses the TPDD she took from Mikuru (Small) and returns to the December 18th, 3AH with Kyon2. (Volume 4)
2AH Tsuruya enrols at North High.
3AH
April
- Kyon enrols at North High and meets Haruhi for the first time.

- The future authorities send Mikuru to this time plane and she enrols in North High to begin her mission of observing North High, befriending Tsuruya along the way.
- Kyon observes Haruhis eccentric behaviour for some time, then began having daily conversations with her before every days home room session, as he sits in front of her.
- One day, Kyon implants in Haruhis mind the idea of forming a club. Inspired by this, Haruhi forms the SOS Brigade. She kidnaps Mikuru and occupies the Literary Club room as their headquarters.
(Yuki has been waiting for them, as Kyon told her to 3 years ago. So she has an advantage over Ryouko, who tried unsuccessfully to actively engage with Haruhi.)
(Volume 1)
May
- The Consortium arranges for Koizumi Itsuki transfer to North High to assist in their surveillance of Haruhi, whose mental state has begun to go unstable again, thanks to Kyons unwitting encouragement.
Haruhi decides to invite this mysterious transfer student to the SOS Brigade. (Koizumi was shocked and terrified when an excited Haruhi approached him and have him join the SOS Brigade, as he had originally planned to just secretly observe Haruhi. (Volume 5))
- Yuki, Mikuru and Koizumi all revealed their true identities to Kyon respectively, and explained their motives for gathering around Haruhi and observing her.
[ - Haruhi took the SOS Brigade one Sunday to search for anything mysterious. Kyon was paired with Mikuru in the morning (where she told him where she came from), while being paired with Yuki in the afternoon.
- As Kyon decided to bring Yuki to the library to kill time, Kyon's junior high classmate Nakagawa (whom Kyon doesn't even remember) walks past them and is instantly mesmerized by Yuki.
- What Nakagawa doesn't know is that he's a half-esper, being secretly considered as a candidate by Koizumi's "Consortium". His latent powers allow him to partially sense the presence of the Integrated Data Entity within Yuki. He misinterprets this overwhelming inflow of data as "love at first sight" and becomes obsessed with her for the next six months.
(Volume 6, Crazy LOVER) ]
- One month since the formation of the SOS Brigade, and Haruhi begins to get depressed at the lack of mysterious and interesting events. More Sealed Dimensions are created as a result.
- Ryouko could no longer stand this status quo and decides to do something about it. She lures Kyon into a trap and tries to kill Kyon, in order to trigger a reaction from Haruhi. But she is thwarted by Yuki, who saved Kyon at the nick of time, and is eliminated by Yuki.
- Kyon then meets Mikuru (Big) (who showed him her star-shaped birthmark on her breast), she told Kyon not to get too close with her, and warns that something is about to happen, though she couldnt reveal much, she gave Kyon a hint Snow White
- Koizumi shows Kyon a Sealed Dimension, and the Shinjins as well as his powers in dealing with them. He says these dimensions have increased in frequency lately.
- One day, Haruhis depression drew both her and the person she wants to be with most Kyon, into a Sealed Dimension. Koizumi manages to enter the dimension with great difficulty, and before disappearing, tells Kyon that Haruhis depression is leading her to decide to destroy the old world and create a new world.
Through the computer, Yuki leaves Kyon with another hint Sleeping Beauty. Kyon understood the hint: to give Haruhi something to hope for in their original world so that she would not despair of it him, so he reluctantly kisses her and they both re-awake back in their world. Though Haruhi thought it was all a bad dream afterwards.
(Volume 1)
June
Haruhi is so bored she decides to have the SOS Brigade join the local baseball tournament. Halfway through their game with the Kamigahara Pirates, with the SOS Brigade one inning away from defeat, Haruhis frustrations create a Sealed Dimension.
Koizumi convinces Yuki to manipulate the match data to turn the game in the SOS Brigades favour in order to literally save the world. The SOS Brigade won the match eventually.
Kyon then convinces Haruhi to pull out (out of fear that Yukis manipulation wont go unnoticed for long), Haruhi decides baseballs boring and agrees. (She then wanted to join a soccer and American football tournament, but thats another story.) (Volume 3, The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi)
July
July 7th (Tanabata Festival) Haruhi brings in a bamboo shoot, she says its used for making wishes to the lovers of the Tanabata Festival.
After hanging their wishes on the bamboo shoot, Haruhi goes home. Mikuru then asks Kyon to stay behind and travel with her to the past three years ago. Before leaving, Yuki gives Kyon a bookmark with strange signs on it.
July 8th Kyon and Mikuru wake up in Yukis room after being frozen for three whole years by Yuki, who has reanimated them. For Kyon, the sleep only took seconds.
(Volume 3, Bamboo Rhapsody)
- Haruhi creates a logo for the SOS Brigade website and uploads it to the web. Unbeknownst to her, the logo awakened the long hibernating Imperfect Data Entity and it begins to duplicate itself across the web using the logo as its physical manifestation.
It sucks in any user (total of 8, including the president of the Computer Society) who has seen the logo on the website and creates a dimension for it to reside in.
- Kimidori Emiri, a second year student, visits the SOS Brigade to ask for help to find her boyfriend, the Computer Society president.
The SOS Brigade visit the presidents apartment. Besides Haruhi, the rest discover the existence of a hidden dimension and visit it again after Haruhi went home.
They promptly rescued the unconscious president and destroyed this Imperfect Data Entity.
- They went and rescued the other 7 people who have visited the website. In order to stop the Data Entity from spreading again, Yuki had the logo slightly altered so that it reads ZOZ instead of SOS, though its barely noticeable.
- Kyon finds out that the Computer Society president never had a girlfriend, he wonders who Kimidori is.
He also realizes Yuki could have dealt with this all on her own, yet she let the whole SOS Brigade in on this. He began to wonder if Yuki is lonely.
(Volume 3, Mysterique Sign)
- In order to keep Haruhi from getting bored, Koizumi, with help from his companions from the Consortium Tamaru Keiichi and Tamaru Yutaka, Arakawa, and Mori Sonou, arranged a summer field trip for the SOS Brigade, with a secret murder mystery, in which everyone is nearly fooled into thinking Tamaru Keiichi has been murdered.
Though in the end, Kyon managed to figure out the truth. Haruhi seemed pretty satisfied with this game afterwards and puts Koizumi in charge of the murder mystery game for their coming winter field trip. (Volume 3, Lone Island Syndrome)
August
August 17th August 31st
After coming back from a trip with his family, Kyon got dragged into a flurry of activities by Haruhi in the last two weeks of summer holidays.
Unwittingly, the whole world, with the exception of Yuki (and other Living Humanoid Interfaces probably), have been trapped in a time loop that repeats itself on August 17th, with everyones memories being completely reset (Yuki is not affected thanks to the omniscience of the Integrated Data Entity, which transcends time and space).
The SOS Brigade members, due to their proximity to Haruhi, experiences some déjà vu from time to time. Whenever Mikuru realizes she has lost contact with her future, that is when the SOS Brigade realize theyre stuck in a time loop.
(Yuki says theyve been in this time loop for 15,498 times already i.e. 548 years, and this is the 6000+ time theyve found out.) The reason theyre stuck is that Haruhi never seem to be completely satisfied with this summer vacation.
Then on the 15,498th time, Kyon realizes what is missing he invites the SOS Brigade to do their summer vacation homework together on the last day.
Haruhi, being the bright student that she is, never experienced doing homework with her friends, as shes finished hers long ago. But since its Kyon that hasnt completed her homework, she decides to help out, since she doesnt want to be left out.
September 1st Due to Haruhi now being satisfied with her summer vacation, the world has now broken free of the endless time loop and time moves forward again.
(Volume 5 Endless Eight)
November
- Haruhi decides to make a SOS Brigade movie for the school festival, starring Mikuru, Yuki and Koizumi, with herself as director, producer and writer, and Kyon in charge of all the menial tasks, including being the camera man.
- Extras including Tsuruya, Kunikida and Taniguchi are brought in. Shamisen the cat is adopted by Kyon, under Haruhis orders.
- During the shooting of the movie, Haruhi unwittingly alters reality, these include: Mikuru beam (now rendered harmless with Yukis nano-machines), Shamisen talking, and pigeons turning their feathers white overnight.
- Eventually, Kyon got into a fight with Haruhi. Haruhi becomes so depressed that Koizumi fears for the worst and urges Kyon to make up with her. Kyon, for some reason unknown to him, decides to cheer up Haruhi.
However, this creates the opposite extreme, in which Haruhi could potentially create irreversible alterations on reality, as Haruhi is unable to distinguish her reality from the movie reality.
- Kyon is eventually able to find a simple solution during the editing of the movie he convinces Haruhi to put a disclaimer at the end of the movie, declaring everything in the movie, including all the special effects, as fiction.
- Kyon half-guessed the movements of some underground clandestine activity between the three forces during the school festival as they were all dressed in funny costumes, no one suspected them as they were believed to be in a play
(Volume 2)
- The movie, "Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00" is shown in the school festival with <strike>mixed</strike> great success (according to the director) after its showing in the Movie Club's theatre (they got coerced and blackmailed by Haruhi to show the movie ahead of their selection).
(Volume 6, Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00)
- Haruhi then spent the next few days during the School Festival (trying) to hand out SOS Brigade flyers in her bunny suit.
- On the last day, she came across a three girl rock band about to perform at the festival concert. Their lead singer and songwriter had suffered from tonsillitis that day and was unable to perform.
- The remaining band members were at a lost at what to do, when for some reason which even she herself couldn't explain, Haruhi decided to step in and help them.
- Haruhi listened to the audition tapes only three times and decided to be the lead singer. She enlisted the help of Yuki as the guitarist (which Yuki agreed and learnt instantly, in a matter of seconds).
- Haruhi and Yuki then performed in place of the band's lead singer (in their costumes, Haruhi in bunny suit, Yuki is magician suit).
- The audience were stunned by Haruhi's performance, but after Haruhi explained that she and Yuki were only stand-ins, they were even more amazed. If the stand-ins were already this good, then the original performance must be incredible. This resulted in the high demand for the band's audition tapes, and the band's career could now begin to take off.
- A few days later, the band members visited Haruhi's classroom to thank her from the bottom of their heart. Haruhi seemed uncomfortable at being thanked at, since she wasn't used to helping others before. But her waverings were swept away for now when she came up with a plan to form the SOS Band for next year's school festival.
(Volume 6 - LIVE ALIVE)
- To avenge their unjust humiliation at the hands of Haruhi, the Computer Society challenges the SOS Brigade to a duel on an online real-time strategy game, The Day of Sagittarius.
- If they win, then the SOS Brigade will need to hand over the computer Haruhi obtained from them. The odds seem to be against the SOS Brigade, the Computer Society even have the game rigged in their favour. However, they completely underestimated the potential of Yuki.
- The game seems to have ignited a passion in Yuki unseen before, and before long, she has turned the tables on the Computer Society and won the game for the SOS Brigade.
- The Computer Society begged for mercy from Haruhi, and pleaded with Yuki to come visit them time to time to show them her computer mastery.
- Kyon, seemingly understanding of Yukis feelings, urges her to take a break from observing Haruhi all the time and occasionally go play the computer.
(Volume 5, The Day of Sagittarius)
December
December 17th Haruhi proposes a Christmas party to the SOS Brigade. Kyon doesnt realize anything unusual at this moment.
December 18th
After midnight (original reality)
- Kyon (called Kyon-P here) and Mikuru (Big) arrive from July 7th, 0AH and wait for the culprit to arrive and alter reality.
- With a lot of impure data accumulating inside, Yuki begins to lose control of herself. Yuki doesnt know it, but Kyon calls the impure data emotions, which Yuki seemed to lack but is beginning to lose control due to not being able to handle the overload of emotions.
- By somehow stealing Haruhis ability to alter reality, Yuki uses this power to change the fabric of reality, including herself. The best she could do to reduce this lost of control was to retain Kyons memories of this world.
- Kyon-P and Mikuru (Big) confront Yuki, who has now become just a weak-willed bookish girl. Kyon-P takes out the nano-machine gun that Yuki three years ago created for him.
- Ryouko, who has been revived in this altered reality, appears and stabs Kyon-P with a knife. Before Ryouko is able to finish Kyon-P off, she is stopped by another Yuki from the future.
- This future Yuki (called Yuki-F) came with Mikuru (Small) and Kyon (called Kyon-F here), to return and complete the task that Kyon-P has not been able to complete. They successfully injected the present Yuki with the nano-machines and restored the reality to its original form.
- Kyon-F takes his unconscious past self, Kyon-P to a few hours into the future.
- (Though its not mentioned, I believe Yuki-F has to transport the original Kyon (Kyon-O) into the altered reality. This is to ensure Kyon-O goes through the experiences of being in the altered reality, or both Kyon-P and Kyon-F wouldnt have existed in the first place to come back and restore the problem, as they came from Kyon-O and have his memories.)
Afternoon (restored reality)
- Yuki-F alters everyones memories, to make everyone think that the SOS Brigade had a meeting about the Christmas party, and on the way out of the room, Kyon tumbled down the stairs and fell into a coma for the next three days. This Kyon is Kyon-P.
Evening (restored reality)
- Kyon-P sleeps unconscious in a hospital room arranged by Koizumis Consortium. Haruhi stays by Kyon-Ps side all night.
Morning-Evening (altered reality)
- Kyon-O goes to school to find that the whole world is turned upside down. Haruhi has disappeared, so has Koizumi and his whole class.
Mikuru is just a normal 2nd year student, and Yuki is just a quiet bookish girl. On the other hand, Ryouko has now re-appeared. It seems Kyon-O is the only one with his memories intact.
December 19th
Altered reality
- Kyon visits the Literary Club room again, where Yuki is. Yuki blushed time and again whenever Kyon looks at her.
- While examining the bookshelf, Kyon picked up the book which Yuki used to lend him in the original reality.
There he found a bookmark with a cryptic message from the original Yuki an escape program to be activated in two days time once the key is obtained. This is Kyons only clue to return to his reality.
- The Yuki here suddenly invites Kyon to her apartment. She tells Kyon about how she remembers Kyon at the library, though her memory is different from that of Kyons.
- Ryouko comes to visit and cooks dinner for Yuki, since Yuki lives all alone.
Restored reality
- Kyon continues to sleep in his coma, with Haruhi watching over him by his bedside.
December 20th
Altered reality
- Kyon hears from Taniguchi, who was absent the other day, that Haruhi does indeed exist in this reality, only that she attends another school.
- Kyon rushes to that school, and finds her and Koizumi in the same school. Both their memories have been altered and they dont recognize Kyon.
- In desperation, Kyon uses his final card, he tells Haruhi he is John Smith from three years ago.
- Haruhi didnt question Kyon and believed him at once, since she does remember John Smith Kyon now knows at least the past hasnt been altered and has hopes again.
- After telling Haruhi and Koizumi his story, Haruhi decides to visit the SOS Brigade room. She enters the school with Koizumi and Kyon.
- Haruhi then kidnaps Mikuru, and with Koizumi and Kyon, entered the club room, where a surprised Yuki is waiting.
- With all SOS Brigade members in the room, the key to the escape program is activated in the old computer in the room.
In order to escape, Kyon hits the enter key. This takes him back to July 7th, 0AH, where he will need to get the help of Mikuru (Big) and the past Yuki to restore the world.
Restored reality
- Kyon continues to sleep, and again, Haruhi watches over him and even stays overnight in the room in her sleeping bag. Occasionally, Koizumi and Mikuru come to visit as well.
December 21st
Restored reality
- Kyon finally wakes up. Koizumi told him what happened (the altered memory version). Everyone is glad, though Haruhi doesnt show it.
- That night, Yuki came to visit Kyon alone. She apologizes to Kyon for all this trouble and says she may have to leave to prevent this from happening again.
- Kyon forgives Yuki for who she is, and threatens to stimulate Haruhi (by telling her hes John Smith) if the Integrated Data Entity decide to take Yuki away from the SOS Brigade. Yuki thanks Kyon for his help.
- Kyon realizes he needs to go back to December 18th some time in the future with Yuki and Mikuru in order to make sure this restored reality remains the way it is.
(Volume 4)
December 25th SOS Brigade Christmas party, Haruhi declares the winter field trip will take place on the 30th.
Tsuruya, who is invited to the party, has agreed to provide her mansion in the mountains as the venue for the field trip. Koizumis Consortium companions, Arakawa, Mori Sonou and the Tamaru brothers, will also help prepare the murder mystery.
Between December 25th and December 30th
- Kyon's junior high classmate, Nakagawa, unable to contain his passion for Yuki any longer, decides to ring Kyon up after remembering that Kyon used to be his classmate.
- He begs Kyon to write Yuki a ridiculous love letter for him. After reluctantly doing so, Kyon gets in trouble with an enraged (and jealous) Haruhi after she stumbled upon the letter. Surprisingly, Yuki decides to go and see Nakagawa.
- A few days later, the SOS Brigade visit Nakagawa's high school to see Nakagawa play an inter-school friendly for his American football team. Yuki, realizing that Nakagawa could sense the Integrated Data Entity, modified and deleting his esper powers (via giving him a minor percussion during the match).
- After coming to his senses in the hopital and meeting Yuki and Kyon there, Nakagawa no longer feels the same passion he had for Yuki before. Kyon was puzzled until Yuki explained to him. Kyon asked whether Yuki was disappointed that Nakagawa was actually interested in the Integrated Data Entity and not her, Yuki simply replied, "A bit."
(Volume 6, Crazy LOVER)
December 30th
- The SOS Brigade, Tsuruya, and Kyons sister (who has decided to come along at the last minute) arrive at Tsuruyas mansion.
- Haruhi decides they should go do some skiing, while Tsuruya builds some snowmen with Kyons sister.
- During their skiing, they got caught in a mysterious blizzard, in which not even Yuki can find the way out.
- They came across a mysterious mansion, which seems to have different time warps, and can seemingly provide anything they want (like food, entertainment, etc), except an escape route.
- Kyon tells Koizumi about his experiences in the alternate reality. Koizumi then speculates that Yuki and Haruhi are beginning to lose their powers.
- Koizumi says someone as powerful as the Integrated Data Entity has deliberately have them trapped inside this mansion in order to observe Haruhi closely, and perhaps force Haruhi to trigger a reaction.
- Yuki has been looking even more dead-pan than usual, this is because she is waging an unseen data war (according to Koizumi) with the unknown enemy in order to allow for their escape. Yuki collapsed as a result of being over exhausted, but she has left Kyon a clue as to how to escape.
- Kyon and Koizumi manages to work out the answer and the SOS Brigade escape from the mysterious mansion. For Tsuruya, only 10 minutes has passes since the swift blizzard passed. Haruhi is again confused, but buys Koizumis cover story that they were being hypnotized temporarily.
- Under Haruhi's insistence, Yuki had to stay in bed to recover from her "fever" for the night.
(Volume 5, Snow Mountain Syndrome)
December 31st The SOS Brigade begin their year-end murder mystery.
(Volume 6, Where Did the Cat Go?)
4 AH
January
- Mikuru, under cryptic orders from her superiors (who turns out to actually be her future self, Mikuru (Big) ), she is to come to a traffic crossing at a specific time on a Sunday, bringing Kyon along.
- So Mikuru invites Kyon for a "date" on that coming Sunday (without telling the rest of the SOS Brigade) to buy tea leaves. Kyon gladly agrees. Though during the date, Mikuru anxiously leads Kyon to the traffic crossing, Kyon realizes something's wrong with her, but decides to keep quiet.
- As the lights at the crossing turn to green, a bespectacled boy runs out to the crossing. At this moment, a speeding car races through, ignoring the red lights. In the nick of time, Kyon saves the boy from certain death as the car speeds off.
- After asking what the boy's name is (Kyon forgot the name already), Mikuru realizes her mission is to save the boy's life, as the boy would become an important person in her age's history. As time travallers are forbidden to directly intervene, Kyon, a native of this time plane, was enlisted to help. Before parting, she urges the boy to take good care and not get in any danger (from the "Enemy", the same "Enemy of the SOS Brigade" that Koizumi was talking about while in the mysterious snow mountain mansion).
- Mikuru then breaks down and laments that she wasn't of any help to her superiors, as they kept denying her access to more information, and the SOS Brigade. Kyon knew this isn't true, as it was Mikuru's future self, Mikuru (Big) who has helped him a lot, and Mikuru (Big) understood Mikuru (small) best, which was why she concealed the truth from her past self.
- Kyon decides now's not the right time to tell Mikuru the truth, especially the when he got stuck in the altered reality, and needing her and Yuki's help to go back in time to restore that reality. Without telling her the truth, Kyon somehow cheers Mikuru up, Mikuru is thankful for Kyon's understanding.
- The next day, Haruhi found out about Kyon and Mikuru's "secretly dating" behind her back, thanks to the bespectacled boy telling her about it. Kyon and Mikuru's "punishment" is not mentioned here.
(Volume 6, The Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru) (To be continued in volume 7)
Sometime in the near future Kyon, Yuki and Mikuru return to December 18th, 3AH, to assist the Kyon and Mikuru (Big) there in restoring the reality to its original state.
Kyoani should really make more episodes. This is just too good a series to end so prematurely. There's soooo much more material that's available for them to draw upon. Please let there be a 2nd season (or more). Felt so sad after watching the last episode. I"ll have to watch them over again and maybe in the correct order this time! lol.
Damn Kanon! Give us more Haruhi! and Yuki! and Mikuru!

A second season is basically guaranteed, it was extremely popular and there's a ton of source material left. Only thing left to hope for is that it gets as good of production.

Sweet JESUS this was ****ing awful. It may TRY to be satire but it's still retarded fanservice with all the bouncing animated udders and pathetic maid moe shit y'all eat up. Self-referential asides and otaku culture gags don't lift it out of the moe/harem gutter. Hale Nochi Guu this AIN'T, and you're all hopeless losers for watching it. Gimme my 40 minutes back. I feel ill.

BUT BUT BUT BUT THE MAIN CHARACTER KNOWS THIS IS ALL A LOSER FANTASY
Let's face it folks, no matter how many Family Guy-turned-otaku gags there are or how many snippets of dialogue point out the absurdity of the moe/harem amalgamated genre, you're STILL A BUNCH OF SAD PEDOS WATCHING DOE-EYED LOLIS IN MAID COSTUMES AND SAILOR SUITS BOUNCE THEIR TITS AND GET THEIR LEZ ON.
It's freakin' depressing now that I know where all your avatars come from.
