== Haruhi's powers are a result of an error in Earth's programming. ==
Due to a glitch in the system, Haruhi was accidentally granted administrator privileges over [[HitchThe HikersHitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy|the program to find The Ultimate Question Of Life The Universe And Everything]]. The rest of the SOS Brigade's (and particularly Yuki's) jobs are to make sure the program turns out how it's supposed to. [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Won't they get a rude shock]]?
* She discovered both the question and the answer, destroying the Universe and recreating it to be even more weirder, three years ago.
 
Line 84:
== Haruhi is Sakaki's split personality ==
Haruhi was created by Sakaki's unconscious desires for the supernatural. This could explain many things: Sakaki's team says that Haruhi receiving her powers was a mistake. Haruhi, when seeing Kyon with Sakaki, suffers "not simple jealousy, but a more primitive emotion" according to Koizumi (she fears her own death). Also, it explains the capability that Sakaki has to take over Haruhi's powers. This could be also confirmed by the title of the book: "The Dissociation of Suzumiya Haruhi". It would be worth asking: Why doesn't Kyon EVER meet Haruhi's parents, or even go to her house? Because she DOESN'T have a house! When she has had enough fun with the SOS brigade, she simply disappears.
** Or possibly visavice-versa.
 
== Haruhi created or is otherwise messing around with (Insert Random Fictional Universe Here) ==
Line 183:
== In the past, Haruhi attempted suicide. ==
After her realisation that she was totally insignificant in the grand scale of things, Haruhi went into a deep depression. It culminated in an attempt at suicide, which failed for... some reason. (Interrupted?) After some councelling, her view of the world changed into her current one (Find the interesting instead of just waiting for it).
** Here's how it went down: in an attempt to keep Haruhi from destroying the world, one of the antagonists (could be old or new) of the series travels back in time as far as they can (three years). The antagonist then manipulates events so that within a very short time period, three-years younger Haruhi has decided that her life is completely meaningless and attempts suicide. The present brigade learns of this plot and goes back in time three years, where they foil Haruhi's suicide, and through the [[Power of Love]] and the [[Power of Friendship]], convince Haruhi that life is worth living because there are always new things for her to discover and learn about. With the plan foiled, the antagonist has a fit and tries to kill the three-years ago Haruhi. The brigade protect her, and the ensuing battle reaches epic proportions as all factions in the story jump into the fight. During the confusion and chaos, a mistake is made by Yuki's superiors, wherein a glitch occurs and Haruhi is given god-like, reality warping powers. An epic beat down occurs as Haruhi destroys all of the antagonists. The glitch that resulted in Haruhi's power-up cannot be fixed, but Yuki's superior's are able to wipe Haruhi's memories of the events. The brigade returns to the present time line, and thus both the series backstory and climax are accomplised in one go.
 
== Haruhi is aware that her powers need to be kept under control and gathered everyone who observes her for this reason. ==
Line 201:
Related to above she sees him as living this incredible, exciting, romantic life that she wants to be a part of with him. Her initial interest in Kyon is because he reminds her of him (the two being one in the same) but later has trouble reconciling her attraction to him with that of her "true" love. Notice that when the alternate Haruhi in ''Disappearance'' finally meets "John Smith" for the first time in three years she is ''much'' more friendly and accommodating of his behavior and ideas than the regular Haruhi is of Kyon's.
 
== Haruhi really ''is'' God. == She's projecting her powers onto Kyon, but he doesn't want them and is projecting them back.
She's projecting her powers onto Kyon, but he doesn't want them and is projecting them back.
 
.... Just a thought....
Line 223 ⟶ 224:
 
== Haruhi lied about what she had wished for three years ago. ==
She didn't wish to become a very interesting person on the planet. She wished to meet the most interesting on planet, and be a part of his interesting life, and to be told that she wawas sspecialspecial and unique. And thus Kyon was created. Of course when she did not immediately meet Kyon she decided on the enxtnext best thing and become that person herself.
 
== When Haruhi ovulates, the universe changes in very interesting ways. ==
Line 251 ⟶ 252:
== Haruhi has a male counterpart ==
Why is she a girl? God has been depicted as male for the majority of history. Personally I think He/She/It/God would prefer to not chose a gender because He/She/It doesn't want us to view one or the other as superior. The solution? God split itself into two individuals, one Haruhi, is the female aspect of God. The other, (Perhaps Kyon, perhaps someone unintroduced as yet) is the male aspect of God. Following this logic the two should have opposite viewpoints and personalities, yet still get along together pretty well. (Note that this troper hasn't read the novels and so cannot explain how Sasaki fits into this.)
* That's a very Western view of the matter. Haruhi is Japanese, and the chief of the Gods in Shinto is female - Amaterasu Omikami.
 
== The existence of aliens, time travelers, espers, and the series in general is all because of ''The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina''. ==
Line 272 ⟶ 274:
 
== Haruhi's powers come from sheer stubbornness. ==
"Haruhi believes her values and judgment to be absolute. She does not understand what others think, or realize that they may think differently, or rather, it has never occurred to her that her way of thinking may be completely different from others’others' since the beginning. If people want to achieve time travel, just put Haruhi on a spaceship. Since she probably wouldn't give a damn about the Theory of Relativity anyway." ~ Kyon
 
This means Haruhi is so stubborn and self-centered that even the laws of physics know better than to argue with her.
Line 286 ⟶ 288:
Just after Kyon and the rest of SOS Brigade will realize it's the best way to keep her bot entertained and busy enough to not alert reality, they will slowy set her interests toward creating some kind of works of fiction. Haruhi will becaome writer (ro movie director, or something like that) and create things that for some reason weren't created in her world, even though they exist in our. Nobody will be aware that while Haruhi would acknowledge what she creates as only fictional, her subconscious wish will make all worlds exists as an alternate dimensions. Her works will of curse all have strong infulence of [[Rule of Cool]] and/or [[Rule of Funny]] and be very [[Troperiffic]]. The most popular of her books will be:
 
- [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Cycle about sucessive generations of family with unusual powers, fighting vampires, nazists and other stange beigns]].
 
- [[Slayers|Adventures of teenage wizard girl and her friends who lives in crazy fantasy world and do unbelivable things]].
Line 339 ⟶ 341:
 
== Haruhi doesn't really have the hots for Kyon. ==
Haruhi doesn't want to be in a world where Kyon is kissing her (which is why she stopped remaking the world), she either wants Mikuru or distrusts her (hence the jealousy). After all, Haruhi isn't really one to hide her emotions. If she did have the hots for Kyon, she wouldn't hide it with bullying him. Which means that she was right all along: She wants someone weird. [[Sarcasm Mode|Then again, Haruhi]] ''[[Sarcasm Mode|does]]'' [[Sarcasm Mode|like being proved wrong.]]
* Or she could have thought that having a guy she likes kiss her means "This can't happen; it's totally a dream" and fixes reality. That kind of thing tends to happen.
 
Line 349 ⟶ 351:
Nobody ever asked what kind of [[wikipedia:Street light interference|SLIder]] she meant.
* Haruhi wants [[wikipedia:Slider (disambiguation)|one of those little hamburgers sold in America]] (Then again, she ''does'' kind of have a thing about baseball).
** So basically [[Harold and& Kumar Go to White Castle|Haruhi and Kyon Go To White Castle?]] Holy crap. Even their name fits.
 
== Haruhi is the only REAL human ==
Line 371 ⟶ 373:
 
== The universe is Haruhi's Never-ending Story ==
For those who don't know [[The Neverending Story|the Never-ending Story]], it's about a world of fantasy being brought back to life by a young kid through means of a magical book. Believing in that world gives Fantasia existence. As the kid transports into Fantasia using the magical book (''The Neverending Story'', and he keeps wishing and imagining, he starts forgetting something about himself. So what would happen if a child like Haruhi got hold of that magic book? Why does time travel can't go back to three years ago? Simple, because the world the protagonists live in IS Fantasia. Haruhi's common sense dictactes that there is no magic, but instead, it has time travelers, aliens, espers and sliders. It was all created by Haruhi. So, she ends up being, by all intents and purposes, God. Maybe this would also explain why Nagato became a bookworm. She's searching for that very same book.
* The reason the kid loses his memories is because they are exchanged for having his wishes granted. Furthermore, he doesn't have to explicitly make a wish for it to be granted. Thus, Haruhi created the Espers to act as a restriction on her powers so she wouldn't over use them. Also, the kid's powers are granted by a magic item given to him by the Childlike Empress, who is for all intents and purposes the actual God of Fantasia. Given that the Anti-SOS brigade believes they need Kyon's consent to take Haruhi's powers from her, and that the Childlike Empress will only meet a given person once in a lifetime (and thus can not be Kyon), Kyon is clearly the anthromorphic personification of said magic item. Also, ''The Neverending Story'' is explictly not one of a kind so Yuki wouldn't need to find the exact same book Haruhi used.
 
Line 397 ⟶ 399:
== Haruhi's energy stare in Day of Sagittarius actually worked... ==
...it was just delayed a bit. Kyon may have said he felt nothing but mortal danger, but as soon as the fighting started, he was yelling orders at his computer screen with all the energy and confidence he had asked Haruhi for. Itsuki even remarked on the change.
{{quote| '''Itsuki''': It sounds like someone's getting into this game.}}
Besides, can you think of any other way Haruhi's order to "[[Gundam|launch the Gunda]][[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|(beep)s]]" would get Kyon to reply with actual enthusiasm?
 
== Haruhi is an Antichrist in the [[Good Omens]] universe. ==
Both Haruhi and Adam have reality warping powers that can cause the [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It]]. Haruhi is being watched by other organizations that don't want the world to end.
* [[Madoka Magica|Madoka]] {{spoiler|sacrificed herself and became a goddess}} out of pure selflessness and a desire to help others. Haruhi is almost completely selfish. Hence she is the Antichrist to Madoka's Jesus. Of course, since most anime universes are [[Crapsack World|CrapsackWorlds]]s, [[Fridge Horror|the opposite could also be true]]...
** "Most"? That's highly debatable.
 
"Them" and the "SOS Brigade" also have similar transitional natures.
Line 433 ⟶ 436:
The Data Overmind experienced a burst of data centered on Suzumiya Haruhi. This burst of data may have come from the rewriting of the universe to include Haruhi as the universe was copied over from the previous home universe of Suzumiya Haruhi and the copy edited to conform to Haruhi's wishes. When any slider moves to a new, non-random non-target universe, a universe is created using the template of their own universe with the wishes of the slider imprinted on it. What the Data Overmind experienced was the changing of the template before it was activated, primarily to include espers but also to copy people and edit their memories where necessary to fit the new universe once the universe had been physically constructed. The giants in the closed space do not destroy reality, they merely edit the template as it lies parallel to the original. The espers use Haruhi as a link to the new universe, and are returned to the universe they normally perceive once the attempt at writing a new universe is aborted. The universe from which Haruhi and the espers hail is not destroyed in the process of a new universe coming into existence, which is evidenced by the universe returning to its original state once the closed space is reverted. The guess is supported also by Kyon of the anime and possibly original-language light novels wishing to meet a slider, as he would ot technically have met a slider if he merely discovered his own slider powers. This is neither exclusive to nor dependent upon the guesses that Kyon himself is a reality warper or a slider (or that Haruhi is the slider because Kyon is god, as mentioned above). The entity known as "Sasaki" no longer retains her powers because the version of her that exists in the current universe never had them, and she only retains the memory from her original self. It is possible that the original may one day enter the univeerse in which the series takes place, causing dissonance between the Sasaki who chose to lose her powers and did not, and the Sasaki who chose to lose her powers and may regret having "passed them on" (from her interpretation of events).
 
== Haruhi used her incredible powers to cause everyone in the world to create an inordinate number of AMVs dedicated to her, because the thought it would be fun watching what people came up with (and, thus, be more interesting than just WATCHING the show). [[All According to Plan|Just As Planned]] ==
 
== Tsuruya is a vampire. ==
Line 448 ⟶ 451:
 
== The entire world literally exists in Haruhi's head. ==
Or, if you prefer, the story is pulling a [[St. Elsewhere|Tommy Westphall]] on us. Haruhi is trapped completely inside of her own mind, and the world being created exists in order to fill an otherwise empty and disconnected existence. The S.O.S. members are dimly recognized versions of her aides and therapists. Kyon is an Animus figure (a contrasexual Jungian archetype) whose purpose is to help lead her back to reality. She tells the story through him.
* Alternately, Kyon is the disconnected one, and Haruhi is his anima who is trying to guide him back to reality.
 
Line 458 ⟶ 461:
 
== Haruhi is a lucid dreamer, and the entire universe is her dream. ==
* I read an article about [https://web.archive.org/web/20110311113543/http://www.here-be-dreams.com/lucid/dream-signs.html lucid dreams] the other day, and it fascinated me. Noticing certain "dream signs" in your dreams can help you become lucid, and occasionally even control your dreams, essentially becoming a [[Reality Warper]] within your own dream.
** As an explanation for Haruhi's powers, it could very well be that the entire series universe, is, in fact, her own dream. The reason the main cast doesn't want her to see any out-of-the-ordinary things happening is because it could possibly trigger lucid dreaming and allow her to fully control her powers with her conscious mind rather than her subconscious. And let's not forget [[Dream Apocalypse|what would happen to the rest of the universe if she were to awaken due to being traumatized within her own dream...]]
*** This explanation ''might'' not work with the revelation of the Anti-SOS in the later light novels (specifically how Haruhi supposedly got her powers from Sasaki), but it's still an interesting thought.
 
== Haruhi is a modern, Japanese schoolgirl version of Alice. ==
* In the second Alice book, "Through The Looking-Glass", Alice tries and tries to control her imagination and make everything normal, but can't. She ends up experiencing all the "madness" and "grows up" at the end of the book. Contrariwise [see what I did there?], Haruhi doesn't control her imagination, wants to make everything abnormal, and ends up doing exactly that. But, she doesn't experience any of the "madness" and doesn't grow up [i.e., she will always be a brat].
* In the same Alice book, the White Knight is the only entity in the Looking-Glass World that is kind to her. Everyone else behaves either abnormally or rudely towards Alice. In Haruhi's circumstance, Kyon is the White Knight figure who is mostly annoyed, while everyone else seems to have their work and lives revolve around Haruhi.
 
Line 519 ⟶ 522:
== Tanigawa has no idea what is up with Haruhi either. ==
He's stringing us along for the ride, and he's enough of a pro to keep us entertained in the process.
* Not really all that surprising since, if you read about most famous writers, they usually don't have a totally outlined detailed plan of every single thing that is going to happen in their stories. Apart from Tolkien who planned out every blade of grass in Middle Earth, most writers I've ever read about have only a vague idea of what exactly is going to happen to their characters and this can change during time.
 
== Haruhi is the [[Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend]] ==
Line 529 ⟶ 532:
== Kyon's real name is "John Smith" ==
Or the Japanese equivalent of John Smith... a very, very common name which is so common that it has the same effect in Japanese that John Smith has in English. Something like Satou or Takahashi for a family name, and something like Akira or Hiroshi for a personal "first" name. When Kyon referred to himself as "John Smith", he was making a linguistic pun on his own name by using one of the most common names in English.
* According to [https://japanese-names.info/column/common-japanese-first-names/ japanese-names.info], the most common boy's name is "Haruto" (with a few different ways to write the name). One would expect Haruhi to comment on the similarity of names Haruto and Haruhi if Kyon had given her that name. Besides, Sakaki calls Kyon "Kyo".
 
== Haruhi and Kyon ARE Orihime and Hikoboshi ==
Line 534 ⟶ 538:
 
== Haruhi is set in the same universe as Chaos;Head, and Haruhi is a Gigalomaniac. ==
Haruhi has the god-like power to turn her delusions into reality, after all.
* Haruhi is a gigalomaniac regardless.
 
== Haruhi is a [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32 E9/E09 Night Terrors|Tenza]] ==
Reality Warping Powers? Check, oblivious to said powers? Check. Powers start going wonky right around puberty? Well, that's what the Doctor said might happen, so check.
 
Line 543 ⟶ 547:
Kyon was somehow involved and so so feels responsible for the death of ordinary girl Haruhi. He therefore used his powers to reanimate her. Unfortunately he Mary Sue cursed her at the same time.
 
== The whole series is taking place in Haruhi's [[Ar Tonelicotonelico|Cosmosphere]] ==
Which explains why Haruhi has god-like powers, the whole thing is taking place in her imagination.
* Yuki and Mikuru are other Reyvateils with their own Cosmospheres. Yuki is probably an Origin type. Koizumi is another Reyvateil partner like Kyon.
* Except, these aren't the real Yuki, Mikuru and Koizumi's, just mental creations of Haruhi's based off of her memories. Only Kyon and Haruhi are real inside her Cosmosphere.
