Haruhi Suzumiya/Characters: Difference between revisions

→‎Kyon: replaced "The Ishmael" with "POV Boy, Poster Girl"
(→‎Kyon: replaced "The Ishmael" with "POV Boy, Poster Girl")
Line 230:
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]}}: In the fourth novel/[[The Movie]].
* [[Inner Monologue]]: All the time.
* [[The Ishmael]]: Either played straight or subverted; the former if you believe Haruhi is the main character, and the latter if you believe Kyon is the main character.
* [[It's All My Fault]]: He feels personally responsible for the events of ''Disappearance'' as even though the Integrated Data Thought Entity failed to give Yuki a more complete personality (which put a strain on her) he decides that his over-reliance on her was the straw that broke the camel's back.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Despite his snarky dismissal of, well, everything and everybody, Kyon is a deeply compassionate person who treats everyone equally and seriously in thought, if not in action. This applies whether they're a normal student, a [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|living computer]], or God.
Line 274 ⟶ 273:
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Or so he would like to think. But the other SOS members, particularly Koizumi, constantly have to remind us that there's more to him than this trope alone.
** In the seventh novel Koizumi offers to train Kyon to be an esper. Apparently there are not a whole bunch of other persons who can be trained.
* [[POV Boy, Poster Girl]]: With Haruhi as the Poster Girl and Kyon as the POV Boy.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: From ''Disappearance'': "Tell them to go fuck themselves!"{{verify|reason=Is this something a fan translator added to the book? I don't recall reading this in the hardcover release.}} Watered down in the anime adaptation to "''Then you can tell them to go to HELL!''"
* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]: In ''Disappearance'', for [[Epileptic Trees|unclear reasons]]. {{spoiler|May have been intentional on the part of Nagato in order to give him a choice in the matter, but the fact that he needs protection from the reality warp when [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|he goes back in time to stop it]] leaves this in doubt.}}
** {{spoiler|There's doubt about this? Yuki says outright at the end of the movie that while she couldn't prevent herself from rewriting reality, she COULD ensure that Kyon would be unaffected. The reason he needs protection when he goes back is because her failsafe was used up when Kyon chose to activate it at the famous READY? prompt. The program said that once it was run it would be deleted, so it time-travelled him outside the sphere of effect at his choice. Presumably had he chosen to stay, he would have subsequently be subjected to the re-write (as seen in the spin-off manga).}}
Line 313:
* [[Sitcom Character Archetypes|The Wisecracker]]
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: But Haruhi seriously pushes it, once or twice.
