Koizumi brought up an interesting metaphor to describe the Kyon Theory. He described it as being a Hurricane/Typhoon.
Kyon represents the eye of the storm, which is calm and tame.(Obviously pointing out the fact that he is a normal, everyday person)
The storm itself represents all the events that are circling around him. Kyon wishes to be the "sidekick". He doesn't want to be the cause of conflicts, but would rather stand to the side and observe as things unfold around him.
Notice how Kyon rarely, if ever, makes decisions on his own. Almost all of his decisions and actions are made by others in the form of orders.

If Book 9 is indeed another "long story", I would like to see more of the rival entity (the Macrospatial-thingy, forgot what its called) and Koizumi. So far, we've seen:
But we've only heard about rival aliens. It would be cool to see them in action once, and more story involving Koizumi. Let's just say that translating Chapter 5 has made me kind of, Interested, in him... (In a normal sense, mind you. I'm straight ;P)

that was a super update. It is interesting about how Kyon tells Tsuruya to dig up in the original spot the rock was. I get the feeling that Kyon is going to do somethign later in the story that is not going to be benefital to the rival groups but he is going to do something that totally goes against Mikuru's(Big) will. Or he might go to the opposite side.
That's the feeling I get. Maybe Mikuru will end up staying in that time period and never return to the future thus screwing up the time continum.

holy crap
I admit I've been grumbling the past month about the 1%, but this anonymous forgives
Mod: It ought to be the translators that's doing the forgiving to all your constant "grumblings", not the other way round. They're doing this of their own free will and certainly don't owe you anything. I know you don't mean it, but please be more considerate next time.

Kyon's position is anything but calm and tame. Haruhi fits the analogy best, because form her perspective absolutely nothing extraordinary is happening.Stratosphere wrote:Kyon represents the eye of the storm, which is calm and tame.(Obviously pointing out the fact that he is a normal, everyday person)
Volume 7 begins to prove otherwise.Stratosphere wrote:Notice how Kyon rarely, if ever, makes decisions on his own. Almost all of his decisions and actions are made by others in the form of orders.
