An anonymous editor (219.122.241.242) recently made the following edit. This has a subtle effect on the meaning, and I think it's worth discussing and getting some verification on:

Original wrote: "The bunny ears on her head swung forward and back and she stood on the stage. Even if her eyes were replaced by someone else's, I would still recognize who she is."

Edited wrote: "The bunny ears on her head swung forward and back and she stood on the stage. Even if my eyes were replaced by someone else's, I would still recognize who she is."

The original says "her eyes" - which are regarded as one of the most distinguishing features of a person. In other words, even if Haruhi's most distinctive trait were changed, Kyon would still recognise her.

The edit says "my eyes" - which implies that Haruhi has become so famous among the students that even someone who never saw her before would still know who she is.

At least that's how I see it. Anyone else care to weigh in?

那个戴在头上的兔耳朵微微颤动，穿着暴露站在台上的人是谁，就算把她的眼珠子挖出来换成别人的，我还是知道她姓啥名啥。

That is the original Chinese text. From the 她 in the context we can safely say that it should be "HER eyes".

Seems like we're reaching a concensus here.
