History Headscratchers / KyonBigDamnHero

** First of all, after Kyon gets his training, his muscle mass increases, judging by the increased amount of food he eats...so does that means that he was supplied with food in that [[DragonBall Metabolic Chamber]] as well, because as far as I know, you can't increase your muscles without extra intake of proteins. In that case, shouldn't anyone notice that Kyon is becoming a lot buff? I mean, by the end of HAB arc, it has been like, what, a week? Or was the training just exponentially increased his unconscious reflex? It gets real confusing to me.

*** The rest of the fic up to that point seems to consistently refer to it as a separate reality as well (edit: I mean they refer to it as if it had been one all along, rather than was made one later), but that's an interesting possibility. Going a step further, what if the idea is to make [[Manga/TheVanishingOfNagatoYukiChan The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan]] manga canon for BDH in this way, or at least imply this is the case? But I'm drifting into WMG territory now. (Edited to add: I actually just started reading again from the beginning, and in the first chapter Yuki says that Kyon found a way to restore reality to normal and created a parallel universe in the process. So it looks like you're right.)

** Also, Kyon's father learned how to drive from {{InitialD}}'s Takumi, who has been driving since 13, so it wouldn't be strange for him to be driving without license.

** Personally I always thought what Miyoko wanted to watch was a rescreening of the movie. If ''Film/{{Saw}}'' premiered in 2004 in Japan and the current date in-story is 2011, then Miyoko surely missed the first chance to watch it on the big screen because she was way too small at the time (like 5 years old or something).

** What I interpreted was that Kyon used to be joyful and fanciful until Sasaki broke-down and deconstructed everything he believed in. Until he got dragged into Haruhi and her madness, he just accepted reality and had nothing to believe in. So, to his little sister at least, it would have looked like Kyon just gave up on smiling and became depressed.

** But you know that now, after the meeting. In that moment he doesn't know what will happen and he may not have time to call Yuki id "trouble" really happens. Add the fact his attacks were the least effective than any Haruhi or Koizumi the last time Combine attacked[[note]]the first one, at the beach[[/note]] (Yuki didn't fight but her effectiveness is a given). Finally, I think the main point here is something like betraying the trust Kyon asked to the others by not asking help when he may have needed it: he likes to take everyone else's burdens but has trouble sharing his.

* Ok I'm going crazy trying to figure out the actual year all this is taking place in. The weekdays can match both 2005 and 2011. We have the dates of Higurashi that are Canon, so we can pinpoint various thing. We also know the age of Kyon mother and that she was born AFTER the Hinamizawa Dam Project debacle, also we know that Rika should have been old enough to remember the people meetings for the Dam Project. Rika is born on 1971, the project is from 1975 if I'm not mistaken. So the mother of Kyon, based on the weekdays match from before, should have been born or in 1979 if everything is happenning in 2011 or in 1973 if we are in 2005. As we said that she should be born AFTER the Dam Project it seems that we should be in 2011, BUT they are going to see Saw at the cinema with Miyoko and Saw got released in Japan in 2004 in Tokyo, so it may be that the last screening in Nishinomiya would happen in May of 2005... Anybody has an idea of how to make the various date square?

* Wondering... how much does Yuki weight... there is LOT of place where it is said that people overmass her by FOUR time... that means that she CAN'T be more than forty kilos and even that means that the opponents weigh something around ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY kilos.
Thirty kilos would go for guys weighing around one hundred and twenty a bit more reasonable. But it seems a bit small...

* Dealing with Haruhi's powers here. So she really wants the [[MarryThemAll harem arrangement]] to work out. She's got her power under metaphorical lock and key thanks to Yuki and Kyon. But Haruhi's power has slipped past the PowerLimiter before; [[spoiler:Koizumi's esper tricks were unlocked without approval from Kyon or Yuki]]. Is she subtly influencing every member of her arrangement to fall in love with Kyon?

* In chapter 37, Kyon gets this text message from his future self: "Note to idiotic past-self: Nice work. Yuki does not like being left out. The special hell is a small price to pay after all she's done, and you know it." I've read the entire fanfic three times so far, and every time I get to this part I stop and think about it for a while, and I can't figure out how Yuki was deliberately left out of anything. The thing with Kuyou and Wataru happened so quickly it's not like he had time to call her to help. Is it being implied that he should have brought Yuki to meet with Sasaki? That doesn't even make sense to me, but it's the only alternative I can think of.

* I thought the alternate reality in Disappearance was actually the same reality, just altered by Nagato hijacking Haruhi's powers. BDH seems to consider it a true alternate reality, and chapter 50 even says that reality still exists. Did I completely miss something in Disappearance that explains this, or is this an intentional divergence from the original plot?
** Both possibilities could be simultaneously true. What if Yuki rewrote the original reality to create the alternate version of world depicted in the fourth novel, but at the moment of the restoration she didn't want to just destroy that world and she put it[[note]](or a close copy of it)[[/note]] in its own new alternate dimension before returning things to normal? All this is just guesswork, but currently (as of chapter 50) there isn't much to work with.

**** And this makes an appearance in chapter 61. Or should this be a "Hi, Durandall."...
* Hmm just to say... In chapter 45 we see Mikuru saying that the cut on Kyon arm requires stitches... but said cut at the moment is kept closed by a skinsuit patch. As stitches in the end serves to KEEP the wound closed and the patch is OBVIOUSLY better [it seals the wound perfectly, keeps away any possible pathogen and who knows what else it does] WHY they decide to stitch it?

** Mion also mentioned that Yuuto was a "young man with a freshly earned driver's license" and she wasn't entirely sure of his current age, so it's possible that she simply got the numbers wrong. Alternatively, as Chapter 62 proved, Kyon's father is not ''precisely'' mindful of the traffic code (pretty much a requirement for a BadassDriver like him) and it wouldn't be ''too'' out-of-character for him to drive without a license at the time or with just a learner permit. This could be the reason why he visited a remote village like Hinamizawa in the first place: country roads, little towns with undermanned police departments who can't have eyes everywhere and of course [[NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught it's only a crime if...]]

* in Chapter 59 we get the story of the birth of Kyon... Mion says that his father is 33 or 34 years old that would mean that he would have been 17 at the time... but in Japan the minimum legal age to have a driving licence is 18... [the same applies to Kyon getting driving lessons at 17... but also that may be glossed over a bit...]

* I'm currently finished reading through Heroic Antics Begins arc, and Kyon's nightly training makes me scratch my head, a lot, and I need some explanation[[hottip:*:it's probably because I didn't read the thing thoroughly thanks to my short attention span so if anyone who read it thoroughly or read it more than twice, help me out here.]].

* In [[HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Chapter 42: The Meaning of Everything]] Kyon holds Aunt Rena back so she can't tackle/steal Yuki. But he is wearing his coat in disguise mode at the time. It has previously been established that disguise mode doesn't change the feel of the coat and the Rena is an expert investigator. So why didn't she notice that he was wearing a bulky coat, instead of the Ichigo cosplay he appeared to be wearing?

* What exactly did Kanae just do in The Storm Begins V?\\
