[R~S]

Ok, as you all know, the novels are being translated by Baka-Tsuki... Novels vols 1-3 are completely translated, as well as chapters 1-3 of the fourth novel, the fourth chapter being currently translated (go Kinny! XD). BUT there are partial translations for the next novels.

So lets put down a rule or two:
1. Use spoilers with descriptions (not everybody is aware of the updates right away), ex:

[noparse][spoiler=description here]your comment[/spoiler][/noparse]


2. Most of the readers are following the translations up to the fourth novel, so please try to not post things from non translated or the partially translated novels that follow, if you ever need the urge to do it >_<, put it under two or three layers of spoiler tags and WARN us outside the tags and on the tags >_> ex:

random warning
[noparse][spoiler=description here][spoiler=description here][spoiler=description here]your comment[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler][/noparse]


Lastly, the people that watched only the anime and are waiting for a second season, beware, keep yourselves out of this thread XD

And feel free to comment on adding another rule or something

[R~S]

So looking about how things are going for Kyon right now...

[spoiler=vol4 chap4]I think old Mikuru is not expecting to see him. Also, I wonder about how he will get back... Does Yuki have another spare room? or will he find Mikuru's lost TPDD?

Go Kinny~![/spoiler]

[bicube]

>_> You can tell unruled hasn't gone to the site. XD

[spoiler=current chapter]Just to be really pessimistic, I'm having a strong feeling that when he gets there, nobody will be there, and he'll be stuck it a rut again. [/spoiler]

[bicube]

>_> Kinny is the name of the translator workin on this volume right now >_>

[LCeh]

[R~S]

>_> You can tell unruled hasn't gone to the site. XD

[spoiler=current chapter]Just to be really pessimistic, I'm having a strong feeling that when he gets there, nobody will be there, and he'll be stuck it a rut again. [/spoiler]

I'm not that pessimistic...

[spoiler=current chapter]He has 30min to get to the park and wait for his other self to go. Haruhi confirmed that she met John Smith 3 years ego. That means that the present was "remade", but the past remains the same. So I think he will meet old Asahina, but I just don't think she will be aware of the problem. Using the Back to the Future time rules, when the fork was created in time, the old Asahina remains... of course, there a new old Asahina for the new future.

I'm going too offtopic. My point is, that past is the original past, so if he follows the same schedule as the other Kyon... things should work out?

Lol.[/spoiler]

[bicube]

:smackdown: Read the book ruler desu~!

[R~S]

chapter 4 updated to 23%

[spoiler=current chapter]So it seems that past is indeed the original, unaltered one... but what I wonder about is, how is this supposed to help Kyon "fix" the problem? Is Haruhi somewhere in the future had doubts or something about her present world, how is it that affecting the past will help find a solution?

The only thing I can think about, is for Kyon to say the "help John Smith" line and then bolt to see Yuki... I wonder if Yuki will be able to "sync" with the future Yuki...


Give us more Kinny~! XD[/spoiler]

[bicube]

[spoiler=current percent]Well, seems like my prediction just got thrown out the window. XD I honestly don't know what's going to happen next. He's probably gonna talk with adult Asahina, then bolt to where Haruhi is. If my memory is right, I remember that Haruhi said that she saw someone snooping around before first-time visiting Kyon came with sleeping Mikuru. So they're probably gonna have a surprise encounter, then from there, it's to see Yuki. Maybe the reason Yuki took so long to reply in Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody was because she was waiting for this Kyon to hide or something...

>_< Kinny is really milking this... *Goes to a corner and suffer from withdrawal symptoms*[/spoiler]

[OsoMarron]

so... how many pages per novel are we talking about? :heh:

[bicube]

That's a good question, and to be honest, I don't know. The translator keeps it all as one thingamajig, meaning that there aren't any indications that there's a new page or anything like that, so it's hard to tell...

[LCeh]

so... how many pages per novel are we talking about? :heh:

The chinese version is always between 200 and 300. I am guessing the Japanese version is similar as well.

[OsoMarron]

300 pages off the screen? :dead:

*goes wait for the anime* :heh:

[R~S]

Chap 4 at 52% (edited)

[spoiler=current chap]Ok, no worries then. Old Asahina knows what's going on. As she said, it's a predestined fact. Meaning there's no need to keep worrying about it now. Right?

If it was bound to happen, then the problem it's bound to fix itself, which is kinda disappointing, since I was expecting some chaos XD

So, what's Kyon supposed to do now? be seen by young Haruhi is a fact. But that should not be the only thing, at least it's not enough to fix the problem. Maybe he'll pull a "contact of the third kind" thing to Haruhi? (as to put her in the "Haruhi way"?)

So many possibilities pop up in my head XD

Go Kinny~!


*edit* Lol, double update XD Kinny's on fire

We had some supplementary info about the future, but also:

THAT HORRIBLE CLIFFHANGER[/spoiler]

[bicube]

My lack of posts for the last day was because I was going through withdrawal symptoms... But yeah, that cliffhanger is teh evil. I'm sure it's someone we already know, but man, Kinny sure knows how to leave us hanging...

[LCeh]

:snicker:

Cliffhangers are fun, aren't they? But worry not, Kinny usually translates very fast, so there is nothing to worry about. Plus, it's good that he is taking his time to translate, cause you don't want misinterpret anything, especially for a plot heavy novel like this one.

[R~S]

Chapter 4 now up to 67%

[spoiler=current chap]:hmm: Nothing much to say, the following was predictable...

But they didn't answer the "It's someone you know very well" line XD which now makes my imagination go wild.

I wonder if Yuki has a second spare room XD[/spoiler]

[bicube]

I doubt they'll go through time that passively this time.... XD I really have no clue where this is going, so I'll keep quiet for now XD

[LCeh]

I really have no clue where this is going, so I'll keep quiet for now XD

I know where it's going, but I have to keep quiet too...

[bicube]

lol. Yeah, no spoiling the fun now XD. Though you're probably enjoying it watching us throw out our theories, knowing how close or not they are to the true story.

[bicube]

Sorry to double post, but... CHAPTER 4 is DONE~~!!!

*goes read*

[R~S]

W00T!!

Another cliffhanger~~ XD

[spoiler=end of chap 4]So XD Kyon's the bad guy right? XD[/spoiler]

Go Kinny~~! XD

[bicube]

I'm thinking that Yuki did it. Kyon has no powers, unless you believe in the "Kyon theory" then yeah... And yay for another cliffhanger XD

[R~S]

I'm thinking that Yuki did it. Kyon has no powers, unless you believe in the "Kyon theory" then yeah... And yay for another cliffhanger XD

Nah, I haven't even touched that theory... I'm just guessing because of old Asahina's sigh when Kyon asked about it... It felt like: "what a klutz, it's you"

XD

[bicube]

Really? I thought it was more of like: "Good, you asked. You're not a complete idiot, and now I don't have to explain it to you later on.

[R~S]

Really? I thought it was more of like: "Good, you asked. You're not a complete idiot, and now I don't have to explain it to you later on.

I just don't see Yuki breaking her own rules...

What about another interface from the entity? XD Asakura v2?


*edit* Thinking about it, what about Itsuki? He and Haruhi where in another school :hmm: as to cut her contact with the rest of the gang?

[bicube]

I just noticed R~S and I are the only ones discussing the current edits of this. Are we the only ones from DA following this? XD

Another entity is likely, but Asahina (big) did say that it was someone he knew very well, so I don't think that's the case.

[R~S]

And LCeh, but he's up to the 6th novel XD

Just from that it can even be Imouto.

But isn't it weird? That only Itsuki transferred to another school with Haruhi? And that he befriended Haruhi even though he doesn't have powers? (or maybe Haruhi decided so, him being a transferred student XD)

I don't think it's Yuki... if it really were her and she wanted a normal student life of sorts (with Kyon), Asahina would be the one she needed to transfer (potential rival XD)

I also wonder about why Asakura is back...

[R~S]

Chapter 5 up to 25% XD

[spoiler=current chap]"It's four forty-eight in the morning in the 18th of December. In about five minutes, the world will be changed."

Quite interesting... we still don't know who the culprit is... 5am in front of the school? No idea.

Other than that... Yuki bit Kyon <3 XD and a "mysterious" flame ignited for an instant in his heart when she said "I'll wait"

Can I squeak now? XD[/spoiler]

[bicube]

I'm really surprised that they still haven't revealed who the culprit is. Though now I really doubt it's Yuki now... I think Kyon's starting to have something for Yuki now <3 XD. I'd really like to see more development with Yuki, but Kyon will never stop admiring Mikuru... Not that I mind or anything XD. Hrm, this cliffhanger is teh evil....

[R~S]

Chapter up to 46%

Only one thing to say:[spoiler=current chap]Bicude, you were right... :hello: I would have never guessed it was Yuki [/spoiler]

[bicube]

XD Here's what I think will happen next:

[spoiler=my dumb theory XD]Kyon: Nagato, I'm gonna have to shoot you...
Yuki: No~
Kyon: Too moe.... Can't.. Shoot.....
*Yuki runs away*
Asahina: Kyon, you dumb a-hole! She got away!
Kyon:

.... Ok, I'll shut up now XD[/spoiler]

[R~S]

XD Here's what I think will happen next:

Yuki: No~
Kyon: Too moe.... Can't.. Shoot.....
*Yuki runs away*
Asahina: Kyon, you dumb a-hole! She got away!
Kyon:

.... Ok, I'll shut up now XD[/spoiler]

:rofl:

The thing now: why?

Why Yuki did it? Was there some order from the higher-ups? Was it for herself or for somebody?

Why did she have to go to the school to change the whole world/universe?

Maybe she wanted to be normal for Kyon (hey, I can happen) or maybe she thought Kyon was tired of Haruhi's antics...

QUESTIONS...


PS Bicude, you forgot a Kya~ in your theory XD

[LCeh]

So tempted to answer the questions.... >_<

[bicube]

:doh: I knew I forgot something XD

Yay~ Another update!!

Before reading it though......

[spoiler=my answers to some of the questions]I dunno why Yuki did it, but I think it's her own will, because she really has some emotions and thoughts now, and think that's the best choice. She does it at the school because it's the most efficient I guess.. That's where the SOS dan is located and everyone that Kyon would ever need to worry about... OK that's what I think, now to read the novel :whistle:[/spoiler]

[R~S]

WHOA... again WHOA!

[spoiler=chap 5 at 67%]Before all, I think I know why Yuki did it in front of the school. Didn't Yuki or Itsuki say once that the clubroom had become a permanent closed space? Then she needed to alter that too and needed to be close.

Other than that: Kyon admits that he misses and liked his old life...

I REALLY want to know what Yuki and Kyon will talk about after the "cure"... I have my hopes high for some "development" <3[/spoiler]

[R~S]

Chapter 5 at 84%

XD BEST MONOLOGUE EVER! XD

[bicube]

Oh my...

*goes read*

Edit: [spoiler=teh chapter]Wow, I'm touched by his speech... He really couldn't have said it any better. But Yuki... :cry: Gotta feel sorry for her at the moment... And the cliffhanger... uguu~[/spoiler]

[LCeh]

Do you guys finally understand why I <3 Yuki so much now? :cry:

[bicube]

What? I

[bicube]

Chapter 5 is DONE~~~!!!!!

MAJOR SPOILERS! Don't click if you haven't read it yet!

[spoiler=chapter 5 end]OK, first off... CONFUZZLEMENT to the MAX! OMG what the hell, what's going on here? The hell with it, I'll make another spoiler...[spoiler=last warning]All right, Asakura coming back and stabbing Kyon was surprising, but it wasn't confusing, since it sorta makes sense with her words and all... But towards the end... Two Asahinas!!?!?! And a person who could be Koizumi? And did another Yuki grab the knife (this would make sense XD)? And he saw Haruhi even though she didn't say anything? The only thing that I can think of is everyone from the weird time has somehow regained their normal personalities and are back at this time.... Gah.... This is so bad... I want chapter 6 now.... ... *Goes through withdrawal symptoms*[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[R~S]

O.M.G.

[spoiler=the end of chap 5]OH SHI-

Here's what I think: if big Asahina knew about it, that means young Asahina knew about it. If she knew about it, then Itsuki would know about it too. Maybe when Yuki made the "changes" the beings with power weren't affected right away. Or maybe Yuki herself made so that Kyon had some backup (since 3 years ego, young Yuki was able to pinpoint the location of the error, thus being capable of shielding the others too, right before it happened)

But what interests me: who stopped the knife? I can't seem to accept two Yukis in the same time plane... so, maybe... maybe... Haruhi? (since once Yuki is injected with the cure, some kind of reset should occur? maybe?)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH![/spoiler]

[bicube]

O.M.G.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

QFT

[spoiler=response to R~S]So you're saying that the SOS dan knows about this? That would make sense that if they knew about it, then they'd be prepared for this... :hmm: Though about the knife-stopping, I don't think it can be Haruhi at all. If "normal" Haruhi knew about this, I think it'll undermine the basis of what the rest of the members are trying not to allow happen: that is, they can't have Haruhi finding out their true identities. Though of the "new" Haruhi stopped it, then that's possible, but I'm really thinkin Yuki stopped it because it's like a rehash of what happened before. Asakura tries to kill Kyon, Yuki stops her. Same thing applies imo.... D'oh, thinkin about this is hurtin my brain, and I need it alive for a few more hours XD... And to quote you again... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! [/spoiler]

[spoiler=brain meltdown]I'm just saying Haruhi using the other reality Haruhi as a reference.... Kyon didn't go around things and told her directly what the members were capable off... since he knew he nedeed her to accomplish something and he managing to accomplish that would make her forget about it (or never actually listening to it)

That's why I said Haruhi. It wouldn't be to unreasonable to expect a reset of that day if the cure were to be applied...

Or do you think Yuki made a clone of herself? She said herself that she wasn't capable of time travel, so it's not a different version of her in that way...

Oh, new idea. Remember what I said about the clubroom? the constant presence of Haruhi in that room made it a closed space. Maybe the members hid themselves there and waited.

Or mayb- *brain shutdown*[/spoiler]

[LCeh]

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

[R~S]

Bicube, we should punish this guy who laughs at our feeble atemps at foretelling the next chapter~~

[bicube]

lol XD Yeah, we should punish him, though I think he's laughing at your brain shutdown. My brain is fried already, so I'll try tackling this again tomorrow .

[bicube]

Chapter 6: 37%

[spoiler=current percent]...
...
.....
What an anticlimatic start. Him waking up in a hospital is understandable, but having fallen down a flight of stairs? Jeez, what happened during that night? Our questions are still left unanswered!! :rant: Oh well, something should happen in the next update, since Haruhi just woke up, and Kyon still should talk to the other members. Hopefully Yuki will explain it properly.... .... [/spoiler]

[R~S]

Just wth happened~~?! >_<;

[spoiler=current ep]WTH! Did they modify the world after they stopped Asakura? As to change Kyon's perception of the event and pass it as a dream? Or did it really happen as a dream Haruhi was having?

Where's Yuki?! Kyon needs to ask her! She should be able to answer his questions! >_<

But, did someone really push him? Asakurav2?

ARG.


Btw, I always wondered about this in the anime.... XD

[/spoiler]

[bicube]

[spoiler=the picture]I think that's a scene from Snow Mountain Syndrome... No comment on what could've happened XD. My brain is still fried.. [/spoiler]
