Not a trope.


* {{Geek}}: In the novels, Kyon often makes tongue-in-cheek references to his [[MediaNotes/RoleplayingGameTerms HP and MP]] and Haruhi's negative effects on both.

Added DiffLines:

* LiteralMinded: Given that she's basically a hyper-advanced, living program installed in a human body, she doesn't have the best grip on slang or subtlety, though this is typically played for laughs. For instance, in "Remote Island Syndrome", when Haruhi goes out to search for the killer, she orders Yuki to lock the door to their room and not open it for anyone. Cut to Kyon showing up as Haruhi is arguing through the closed door with Yuki, who is refusing to open the door because of what Haruhi previously said.

* BadassBoast: After she deletes Ryoko, Kyon asks if the 'opposing faction' in the Data Overmind might again try to kill him. Yuki's response? "I won't let them."

* JerkWithAHeartofGold: He's not exactly a jerk except insofar as he is polite to the point of being obnoxious, passive-aggressive, and occasionally callous to the cost of Haruhi's happiness, most notably in his initial apparent indifference to Mikuru's humiliation. Ultimately a loyal friend, as even [[VitriolicBestBuds Kyon]] comes to acknowledge.

Too speculative.


** If one subscribes to the theory that Aware!God!Haruhi consciously planned the series' events ForTheLulz, this turns into FridgeBrilliance. She knew that the supernatural races would try to manipulate Mortal!Haruhi, if only out of fear, so she created someone who would look out for her interests and interact with her as a human, not a god.

* CovertPervert: Probably a byproduct of {{fanon}}, but still possible. Considering [[SuperPowerLottery the many ways]] she could have removed Mikuru's contact lenses in ''Sigh'', the one she chose was rather... [[LesYay suggestive]].
** That part had more with her having to remove the contact as fast as possible seeing as how [[spoiler: it was shooting deadly lasers at the time.]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Mikuru Asahina is from a future that has passed TheSingularity. While she's not allowed to talk about it, she has absolutely no understanding of modern technology more complicated than a teapot. Not only does she consistently fail to make any type of machine operate, but she doesn't even know how boats work, leading Kyon to assume that the future has moved past buoyancy.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite being the oldest member of the SOS Brigade, she can be mistaken to be a junior high school student. For some reason, the English dub has her as Haruhi and Kyon's ''underclassman'' instead of being their upperclassman although the same episode also states that they are freshmen of the school.
** Japanese high schools go from grades 10 - 12. While it is the other members first year at the school, they are actually sophomores. And when they refer to Mikuru as a junior, it's not because they're her upperclassmen, but because Junior is the term used for someone in 11th Grade in English.

I'm currently watching the dub and realized how someone could misunderstand this if they didn't know Japan has 3-year high schools.
