- Possibly, this is after a falling-out with Kyon; she remade him as the butt-of-all-jokes Shiraishi Minoru.
- However, as we see Kyon in the series, what other possibility is there? Maybe Shiraishi is someone Haruhi never had anything but disdain for in the first place. One candidate is Taniguchi, backed up by the fact that Shiraishi sings his song in one episode.
- The calendar in Lucky Star creates problems. Much of Lucky Star is set before 07/07/07, when Haruhi encountered "John Smith", so Lucky Star should be what existed before Haruhi first remade the world.
- Unless Haruhi decided to reset the calendar as well.
- Taking it further, Haruhi is what Konata would have been, if her mother had not died.
- Her pitch, "its a show about nothing."
- It could happen.
- Sorry dude, I like the idea of this WMG and all, but that link leads to a terminated video.
- It must be Oyashiro-sama, then. >_>
- Or they're the next Twin Shrine Maidens that will go to The Hellish Abyss. Meaning one twin will kill the other soon. Say, which twin is older?
- Tsukasa refers to Kagami as Onee-chan, which is Japanese for Elder Sister.
- And it comes up explicitly a few times. Tsukasa is even initially glad that she gets to be the younger sister because she feels it'd be pathetic if the older sister needed homework help from the younger.
- So we should hear someday that Tsukasa has strangled Kagami to death to keep the Repentance from happening. Dandy.
- Konata is an otakin/future self of Haruhi.
- Kagami is an otakin of Kyon.
- Konata may also be an otakin of Itsuki. Yay.
- There are tons of Kagami/Konata art out there.
- They've got a Portmanteau Couple Name.
- ...
- The fans demand it.
- "I want to &%@* with Konata!" in the OVA.(or is this a Ship Tease?)
- I've been told that Kagami actually probably said "I want to cosplay" and that the fan sub is wrong.
- Well, Tsukasa's reaction to that does not seem like something she would have if all Kagami really meant was cosplay, I mean she saw Konata and Patty work and didn't really have anything to say about it.
- It would be a bit of a surprise for Kagami of all people to start showing interest in cosplay, whether or not she's in love with Konata.
- Far be it from me to support Les Yay, but... do you think, after the entire main series, that the word "cosplay" would be censored? On the other hand, saying whatever she said was the "only" way she could put things back to normal... only it was All Just a Dream, so it it has roots in her subconscious...
- Nah. Don't make them the 'official couple.' It's more interesting if they have other SOs and just enjoy each other on the side.
- Dunno about Konata, but for me, that would be major Character Derailment of Kagami.
- I am a bit of a Comedic Sociopath, and likes to view the romantic situation this way: Kagami has a crush on Konata, who can't decide between Kagami and Miyuki...who's the only Straight Girl here (ha freakin' ha.) Don't know where Tsukasa fits in, though she might have a slight siscon for Kagami (see further below).
- This seems to be the truth in a way. Kagami apparently likes Konata, but Konata is straight.
- I've been told that Kagami actually probably said "I want to cosplay" and that the fan sub is wrong.
- In my theory, being a supporter of Konata X Miyuki and all, it could be all of the girls are secretly going for Miyuki (e.x. Konata always touching her, also the infamous Kagami and Miyuki conversation from a later episode).
- Also being a Pixiv user myself there's TONS of art of Konata and Tsukasa rather than Konami.
- In one of manga vol. 5's fourth-wall-breaking Kadokawa Hot Line strips, Konata says that Lucky Star needs romance, and...Kagami: There's hardly been a sign of any men yet, so there's no way we can suddenly introduce a love interest.Konata: No, it's cool! We don't need to have us fall in love with guys! Nowadays... It's what the people want!Kagami: Now I'm even more against it! What do you mean, "It's cool!"
- Episode 13; the Valentines Day segment. He gives chocolates to a male student. Shiraishi bears a Luminescent Blush. Next scene they are in, Shiraishi says "It's my first time," to which the male student says "First time's the best." Both are blushing. Finally, there is a short part where Konata is asking who her friends gave chocolate to. Shiraishi and the male are seen in the background, both with faces red and nervousness. The funny thing was, after that episode, it was never brought up again.
- Episode 9 also brought it up in the Lucky Channel segment. Toward the end, when they close the set, Akira is talking to Shiraishi about a photo shoot they had where he crossdressed. So...yeah.
- Crossdressing has nothing to do with sexuality. Plenty of straight men do it too.
Also, she has travelled overseas more then once; clearly she was visiting relatives.
Since Miyuki looks so much like her mother, we can assume that her foreign side comes from that part of the family. One of her grandparents on her mother's side is not Japanese, while her father's side of the family is a more traditional Japanese family.
- Or her mother is just a Europhile.
- So much of a Europhile that Miyuki came out with Western-ish genes? That takes a Determinator!
- Miyuki's eyes are purplish. Kagami and Tsukasa also have blue eyes, and they're definitely Japanese.
- They also have naturally lavender hair. Konata has blue hair and green eyes.
- That is COMPLETELY—........ kinda sexy...
- DITE's gotten better at giving their units emotions.
- Maybe, she geassed herself...
- Hrm... though she has her father's mole and skin tone... and an ahoge from apparently nowhere...
- I suppose Yutaka doesn't know it yet, then.
- This theory is advanced by the doujinshi "Lucky Point: Summer", which is largely about Kagami finding out about it.
- Actually a number of, coincidental or not, Konata/Kagami doujinshi have Konata saying she has the same illness as her mother.
- At least I won't reject this hypothesis. It certainly explains why she wasn't a single bit annoyed with her 4'8", flat-chested body (compare with Yutaka who is rather self-conscious about that). Only a person who is coping well with some disease can treat it it has been happened.
- She's been shown as being bothered by it, though maybe this discovery shoved that concern aside. Perhaps in order to keep her friends from worrying about her impending death and bringing everybody down, she lies and says that "a line from a game" made her feel better about her body... thus shifting their worries to something more lighthearted.
- There is one flaw in that theory, though. Short height and flat chest aside, Konata is quite healthy and athletic, this despite her sedentary lifestyle, and notably lacks Yutaka's vulnerability to illnesses. Then again, Yutaka may simply have a more severe case of it.
- Or it could be that her athleticism has actually staved off the vulnerability to illness. People who are more active are generally healthier and get sick less often.
- Not likely, as they are paternal cousins. Yutaka's mother Yuki is Soujirou's sister.
- That could explain a scene in which Konata nonchalantly expresses her peace with the thought of untimely death, followed by her humorous, yet depressed, father telling her that she can't talk that way and must live.
- While Soujiro's sentiment is undoubtedly because of Kanata, I, who concurred this WMG based on Konata's view on her body (see above), would leave doubts on whether Konata said the above line because she knew she's dying.
- I like to see it as something else. While Konata, DOES have the same disease, it can only become deadly if she were to become pregnant, about the time the effects really hit Kanata. However, should Konata not get pregnant, she would just stay small and flat. This also serves as a good plot point for yuri stories, since pregnancy is impossible with two girls...
- Perhaps, but maybe Soujiro knows about it and not Konata. Soujiro's always going on about Konata not dying in his lifetime, and Konata's seemingly oblivious.
- Konata mentions that her mother was her dad's childhood friend or something along those lines.
- Even if they were childhood friends, by the time they fell in love, they should've hit puberty. More or less.
- He did say in the manga that he wasn't always that way, but liked kids in an innocuous way.
- Even if they were childhood friends, by the time they fell in love, they should've hit puberty. More or less.
- Ah, so that's why no major American distributor wants to touch it! Until it admits it's an Abridged Series, it has no hope of hitting any American station's anime block.
- While it isn't on television in the US so far as I know, it was released on DVD.
- So that's why no one makes an Abridged Series of it? Well, I will be the first.
- No, you fool! That high a Pop Culture Reference Count coupled with the memetic power of both Lucky Star and Abridged Series could DESTROY US ALL! *Cue Epic music, random symbolism, everyone gets hugged and turned into chocolate coronet-dipping sauce*
- There is in fact a Lucky Star Abridged Series out now, it's name is Lucky Pervs. That crunching sound you heard was the universe returning to singularity form.
- I have two ways to look at that:
- As I have implied in the character sheet, being pushed over implied rape—so the poor girl was implied to have been raped for a few times in the anime. Break the Cutie certainly, but yandere, I don't know.
- According to the Yandere page: "Some have long histories of mental instability and in some cases have always been a little 'off', perhaps the product of Break The Cutie".
- Well, following OP's logic though, Kona-chan would be in danger: not only she's suspected to be with Kagami, she also "cast" Tsukasa as The Ditz in the Dating Sim that's her life. (Manga volume 4: Konata found it disappointing when she saw Tsukasa being able to type quickly on the cell phone, saying that went against how she characterized Tsukasa.)
- As I have implied in the character sheet, being pushed over implied rape—so the poor girl was implied to have been raped for a few times in the anime. Break the Cutie certainly, but yandere, I don't know.
- The only hindrance would be her hair color though...
- While on the subject, Ayano is the daughter/fusion of Kimidori and Kunikida. In fact, her brownish-gold hair can come from mixing pale green and chestnut brown hair.
- Isn't this true of all fiction to one degree or another?
- In this case, it's actually true. The manga has more 'real' sketches of the characters every so often, including a few where Konata looks like a highschooler.
- How about if it's first mentioned by Misao?
- Or alternately, Misao herself. They are very close, even by Lucky Star's standards.
- It's been implied that Ayano's boyfriend is Misao's brother. Perhaps he's dead, and both are in denial, similar to the Azumanga Daioh theory about Chiyo's parents.
- Check the omake on manga volume 4.
- Manga volume 7 confirms that Ayano's boyfriend is Misao's brother. But Hiyori's stalkerish character notes in manga vol. 4 list Misao as an only child...
- As clarification: Hiyori's notes list the (living?) members of a subject's family, sometimes including grandparents, and put a star by the position the relative occupies. Misao is listed as "Eldest Daughter". There is no son or other daughter. Now, this might mean that they're in denial... on the other hand, Miyuki said that she gave giri chocolate to her "brother", but she, too, is an only child. In the anime, she says "male relative". It is quite possible that Ayano's boyfriend is Misao's cousin or something, and would be called a "brother" in contexts of Japanese culture where we'd give the actual relationship.
- Then there's her treatment of Minami's dog in the omake...
- "...Tuna?"
- And in manga vol. 7, she apparently erased everyone's memories of her so that she could move into the Izumis' house as a "new" exchange student.
- Seven is also a lucky number (at least in the West).
- Nanako's an only child. That's probably why she's so immature, no siblings to compete with.
- Hmm, Tsukasa's not quite smart enough to be Yuki. She certainly could cosplay as her though.
- Personality wise, Tsukasa is probably a better fit for Mikuru.
- But Konata never tries to rape Tsukasa...
- Tsukasa could also be Kyon's sister. This works especially well with the Kagami/Kyon comparisons.
- Actually, it's better if Nagato is Minami, because they're both quiet. And Koizumi might as well be Miyuki, if we're going personality wise.
- The Nagato-Minami thing is not new, due to having the same seiyuu. Not to say Minami was said to be having the most book smarts in her circle.
- How about this? Konata is Haruhi, Kagami is Kyon (Haruhi-verse is Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them while Lucky Star universe is Vitriolic Best Buds), Tsukasa is Mikuru (good cook, good maid?), Miyuki is Yuki/Mikuru (see above). For the secondary cast, Minami is Yuki for being quiet and smart; Misao is Tsuruya (EnsembleDarkhorses with Cute Little Fangs); Yutaka is Kyon's little sister; Ayano Minegishi is Kunikida (the one who's just there out of Those Two Guys); and Hiyori is Taniguchi (Covert Pervert versus Casanova Wannabe?) Can't find a good parallel for Patricia.
- Personality wise, Tsukasa is probably a better fit for Mikuru.
- A 2011 Family Guy episode revealed that Stewie was blasted out of the space-time continuum and created a dimension-warping explosion to get back to his universe. This explosion turned out to be the Big Bang. Ergo, Stewie Griffin is God. Revealed in a rather Haruhi-like turn of events, too. Grand Unifying Guess, anyone?
- Konata is Tomo (Genki Girl, Cosplay Otaku Girl, both are the most enthusiastic anime fans (Haruhi/Lupin) in their series and look remarkably like their parents), minus the Jerkass and with
KaguraSakaki's athletic abilities. - Kagami is Yomi (Only Sane Man, Big Eater, worried about their weight), minus the glasses. They even have the same type of relations to each other, with Konata/Tomo always leeching homework from Kagami/Yomi. Also widely rumored to have a major crush on Konata/Tomo.
- Tsukasa is Osaka (Cloud Cuckoo Lander, flat-chested) minus the Kansai accent
- Miyuki is a composite of Yomi's Meganekko and Chiyo’s encyclopedic knowledge.
- Yutaka is Chiyo (Cutest and youngest character on the show, minus The Smart Guy.
- Minami is Sakaki (The Quiet One, Huge Schoolgirl, both are from rich families, unhappy about the size of their chest, albeit from opposite ends of the spectrum, and have the same kind of relation with Yutaka/Chiyo), minus the Animals Hate Her and athletic ability.
- No minus athletic here either, one needs to see her skills at being a helper in the recent volumes.
- Nanako is Yukari (Manchild, Best Beer Ever, Old Maid, they're both teachers and gamers), minus the Drives Like Crazy and with Osaka's Kansai accent.
- Yui is Nyamo (Hinted Les Yay with Nanako/Yukari) with Yukari's Drives Like Crazy
- Misao is Kagura (Bokukko),
minus the athletism.- No need to "minus;" Misao is actually athletic, based on character sketches.
- Ah. Replace Kagura with Sakaki up there then. The equation is preserved.
- Hiyori is Kaorin (Pseudo-Romantic Friendship) with Sakaki's Animals Hate Her
- Ayano is Chihiro (Satellite Character)
- Akira is Tomo's Jerkassery given human form.
- Soujirou is Kimura (Pervert Dad, creepy as hell with a thing for high school girls.
- Really, I think that Soujiro's Dirty Old Man tendencies have been flanderized too much. He is pervy, but then he can usually control himself. Unlike Kimura.
- Cherry is Tadakichi-san (Big Friendly Dog).
- That weird cat thing is Chiyo-Chichi (whatever they are, they ain't normal).
The Azugirls might be EvilCounterparts of the Lucky Star girls, since they do seem a lot jerkier at times (remember when Yomi gave Osaka a super-spicy croquette just for the lulz?). The Azumanga WMG's are also a lot more sinister at times; I have some difficulty picturing Tsukasa as going on a killing spree (unless you believe the Yandere theory above).
- Does Instrumentality fit into this in any way? Remember the Haruhi theories above; and there's at least one Azumanga/Evangelion WMG...
And whaddaya know, the internet agrees with me.
- But she's mentioned her dad a few times. Of course, she may just be referring to the scientist who cloned her... Maybe Miyuki's mom is infertile but really wanted a daughter, so she answered an ad in the paper for her Very Own Clone. Hey, this is anime; weirder things have happened...
- So Miyuki's dad is the Integrated Data Entity?
- She will then publish Wikipedia in book form, thus creating the first The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
This, of course, left Ayano with major mommy issues, as she still feels somehow that she just wasn't "worthy" of her mother, and continually told herself that no matter what, she would never let anyone feel inadequate. Enter Misao in grade school, whose parents were going through an ugly divorce, and needed a mother figure of sorts...
- Konata is Haruhi, and T.K. from Digimon through Wendee Lee.
- Kagami is a dead reference, and easily replaceable with Kyon as others have mentioned.
- Thanks to Lara Jill Miller, Misao is Kari (obviously) but if you stop and look Misao could be an alternate look, and the personalities aren't that far off.
- Patricia Martin and Sojiro Izumi are both connected to Power Rangers by voice actors, which is connected to Kari in a shout out in Digimon: The Movie, which is connected... you guessed it, back to Lucky Star with Misao.
- The Nagato-Minami thing is not new, due to having the same seiyuu. Not to say Minami was said to be having the most book smarts in her circle.
- Both Tsukasa and Minami can be Yuki Nagato; based on voice-actors, looks and personality Minami is a better fit, especially since they're both quiet. Tsukasa's not quite smart enough to be Yuki. She certainly could cosplay as her though.
- Tsukasa has many Mikuru aspects though, like the cooking/cleaning trait, and the pushover personality.
- Miyuki of Lucky Star is a dead reference; it's Akira Kogami and Mikuru from Haruhi who share voice actors.
- Miyuki and Akira have the same personalities. This is trivia in one episode where Miyuki's personality is shown by blood type, and in every episode by Akira as she fluctuates through her moods. Mikuru has traits of both Akira and Miyuki; if she's ever snapped in Haruhi it would be a definite giveaway.
- Miyuki could be Koizumi as well, if we're going personality wise.
- Shiraishi of Lucky Star and Taniguchi of Haruhi have the theorized connections.
- Yutaka of Lucky Star is a loose connection to Emeri Kimidori of Haruhi.
- Minegashi of Lucky Star and Yoshimi of Haruhi - Loosely connected.
- Tamara of Lucky Star and Mimi of Digimon Adventure - Loosely connected.
- The La-Li-Lu-Ke-Ro?
- This show may not be directly produced by Bandai, but its references to Gundam are.
- Which reminds me, Episode 19 of Lucky Star is all about the Gundam Series. Yet another connection to the above.
- So the ending of the OVA was the start of phase 2?
- Oh, please. Keroro isn't smart enough to keep the scheme SOOOO hidden for so long. And what of Natsumi? She's smart enough to notice strange things going on, like the sudden appearance of Keronian merch. She'd find out and stop it dead...if Keroro's own stupidity or Fuyuki's diplomacy don't stop it first.
- Additionally, Haruhi is a fan of Aya Hirano, and decided to rewrite reality so that her voice sounded like her favorite VA's.
- How the hell does Haruhi find the time to watch TV anyway?
- Haruhi is Haruhi, if she wants to see a show then she has the time to watch it.
- I would disagree, she's one of the fictional otaku with the least autistic traits. It's clear that she can think neurotypically, but she just chose not to.
- Not every autistic person acts like Rain Man. She may have high-functioning Asperger's syndrome.
- I did not even define autism that way. I usually define ASD as an inability to perceive abstract information and/or think in an abstract way— and Konata didn't come to me as such.
- Not every autistic person acts like Rain Man. She may have high-functioning Asperger's syndrome.
- Hiyori's stalkerish character notes in manga vol. 4 list Misao as an only child. Make of this what you will.
- Objection! A 'verse in which any version of Gendo Ikari lacks auto-reflective glasses is both impossible and not worth living in!
- Hold it! Consider for a moment his proffession...Nothing related to Gendo? He's a simple photographer (well, perhaps simple's not the word) with a normal camera...with a normal glass lense..
- Sojiro is Gendo if he just moved on and didn't choose the path of the Dick.
- I could actually theorize that in the Eva-verse, Gendo used to be like Sojiro, but since this is Evangelion, he was treated very badly for it. To the point of near-suicide. The reason he's very obsessed with Yui is because she was the only one who saw some worth in him, understood him and made life worth living. Bonus points if Yui has a bit of Moe in her that appealed to Gendo's desparation, just like that other Yui. Unfortunately, for both of the father figures, their wives died. Again, this is Evangelion, so instead of trying to move on with his life through his kids like how Sojiro does with Konata, Gendo instead tries to intervene with the very fabric of creation itself to bring back his wife Yui, alienating his own son Shinji.
- Talk about Comedic Sociopathy...Perfect.
- Not interested in girls? When did she say that?
- The first strip on the omake on manga's second volume. This is also the first strip where Patty appeared.
- She also said she wasn't yet.
- . Tsukasa bears a striking resemblance to Rin.
- . The fact that Kagami means "mirror", and is one character off from "Kagamine"
- Interesting you should say that. The cutesy "n" ending? Puts it even closer. It's not the same character as "ne", but it could be considered the same consonant set.
- . Both sets of twins have blue eyes.
- . Kagami is very much sane when compared to Tsukasa, much like Len when compared to Rin.
- . Both sets of twins are generally seen in sailor outfits.
- But only certain people; most still have normal colors. Just not that many of the main and supporting cast.
- Not all mutation are bengin, of course. Konata's mother died of a genetic disease, hers won't kill her, but will let her look too young for her age.
- Maybe Konata is from the future of Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan.
- Let's add more. Remember the ending credits for the last episode, when Minoru sings in English, "She's an angel, she's a devil." During the live-action ending credits he interacted with Kaori Fukuhara (Tsukasa's seiyuu) and Hiromi Konno, Akira's seiyuu. There may have been some UST between him and Akira during Lucky Channel, at least until the last few episodes. That is, until he started falling for Tsukasa. And there's also a possibility that Akira could be a demon, or even an avatar of Satan himself. Ergo, that song, though sung by Minoru, is actually from Akira's point of view, about Minoru having trouble deciding between Akira and Tsukasa.
- How does Miyuki fit into this?
- She may be another Angel, or one of Seele's Artificial Humans. Only an Eldritch Abomination that can warp the very fabric of space and time could fit that much Moe into one entity.
- Alternatively, Konata is Tabris, who is trying to study Human culture (for Kaworu, it's classical music, for Konata, it's modern anime) and is also pursuing a homosexual relationship with the real protagonist, which would make Kagami the actual Shinji, with a thin shell of Asuka's personality. Tsukasa will still be Rei though, and if Kagami has also Shinji's role the incest themes with Tsukasa/Rei would come in handy. How the Hiiragi twins' occupation involves religion also fits a lot).
Now there's just the question of whether he has a skeleton, or whether his physiology is like that of, say, an octopus.
- So is Patricia actually in a coma and projecting her spirit into the country where she was most happy...or perhaps even dead with Unfinished Business? Konata did actually say "she's got nowhere to go". Nowhere in the living world, that is.
- Magical girl because they're still in school.
- This could also explain the weird hair colors since most slice of Life animes don't have those.
- Also why Konata is the only one who is interested in videogames and manga, they get enough of that in real life.
- Hopefully it's not Madoka's school...
- Well, they're too old to go to middle school...
- Ahem.
- But what about Minoru Shiraishi and Akira Kogami? Would they even be involved?
- Akira is clearly an agent of evil. Minoru might be a Minion with an F in Evil.
- Hopefully it's not Madoka's school...
- They're actually just a bunch of normal high school kids who're tired of hearing about Haruhi Suzumiya and are steadily becoming intolerant of any otaku traits.
- She dyed it and that's why, even in the show, it looks so unnatural.
- Think about it; why are both of their hair colors so different to that of the rest of the Hiiragi family? When one takes into consideration the seen parents that are Kanata, Soujirou, Yukari and Honka, who have very similar hair coloring to their children, this makes even more sense. Perhaps Kagami and Tsukasa's original mother only intended to have one child but ended up having twins and was forced to give them to the nice Hiiragi couple, who went on to name both girls what with Kagami mentioning that she was given her name by her parents so she'd receive the Gods' favor. Tsukasa on the other hand...
- Tsukasa's name actually means "priest."
- But their mom looks a lot like both twins, and has almost the same hair color (albeit a bit darker). Of course, she could be Mr. Hiiragi's second wife.
- Or Mr. Hiiragi could be their mom's second wife, and the other siblings are the ones he had with his earlier one.
- Problem with that is that the eldest sister Inori has purple hair like her mother and the 2 youngest siblings(Kagami and Tsukasa) which makes Matsuri the odd one out.
- As I have written on the main article years ago, all the Hiiragi girls have a Religious And Mythology Theme Naming going on— on a Christian analogy, their names would be "prayer," "mass," "grail," and "priest." There's at least nothing to speculate on the name alone.
- Just as Kagami and Tsukasa have a lighter version of their mother's hair it would seem that Matsuri has a lighter version of her father's hair and Inori combines the two hair colors to get a different shade of purple.
- Tsukasa's name actually means "priest."
This is one of the unfortunate effects of her mother's illness, the other being her cat smile. It's not naturally like that, it just really hurts to put her mouth in a more normal position. Konata lives in alot of pain each day, using anime, manga, and games to distract herself from what she feels is an empty, hopeless existence. She has never told any of her friends because she doesn't want to feel like a burden to them.
If she were to tell her friends, they wouldn't see her as a burden, but a helpless soul in dire need of assistance. Kagami would be the most affected, since this would be a wake-up call. All the times Konata was acting immature and lazy weren't because she was immature and lazy, it was a facade to hide her pain, and that all the times Kagami got angry at her were hardly warranted. Thus, Kagami changes, going from Tsundere to a supportive friend who feels the need to help and protect Konata.
