History WMG / HaruhiSuzumiyaItsukiKoizumi

* ... This makes too much sense to me. [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Oh]] ''[[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Haruhi.]]''

Will be translated into Japanese in the dub. The dub writer will do the same thing he did with the "Naze? Why?" scene and make JohnnyYongBosch say "[[spoiler:Aishiteru]]" instead of "[[spoiler:AI LAAV YUU]]".

Let's see: always polite and smiling, "you wouldn't want to see my true form blah blah blah" yet no problem interfacing with humans, questionable motives, always up to something suspicious or mischievous, some connection to "closed spaces" which behave in unusual ways that could reasonably be described as non-Euclidean, crazy mind powers, a pervasive impression of dishonesty, and the implication that he is, in reality, some ferocious creature possessing tremendous dark power...

Itsuki harbors a crush on Kyon; however, being aware of their existence as a fictional property, he knows that making the HoYay too obvious actually results in a ''lesser'' amount of fanwork. So he creates a cast to deflect most of the criticism from hetero guys with MoeMoe archetypes, while making the {{Tsundere}} female lead ''juuuuuuust'' unlikable enough so that [[YaoiFangirl anyone with yaoi tendencies]] will find her unsuited for Kyon. Thus, the amount of Itsuki/Kyon grows, encouraging the [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls production of more fanwork]], and allowing more hints to be dropped in the anime/novels/show itself, thus resulting in all those scenes where Itsuki gets to make Kyon uncomfortable. Supported by Itsuki's lame excuse that he's only doing it to ward off Haruhi's attention, as all the moments where he's expressing his fondness for Kyon take place away from Haruhi's eyes.

* however he could be doing this since haruhi thinks of him as gay, and he may love her, which would explains why he's always trying to please her

he occasionally says things that suggest that suggest he has feelings for Haruhi and he regularly says things have no apparent purpose other than confusing Kyon. he hides it because it makes it easier for him to ship Kyon and Haruhi. when he noticed that Kyon makes Haruhi's behavior more stable he probably decided that making his job easier was better than pursuing a relationship that he knew wasn't going to happen.

he just pretends that he might be lying in order to keep Kyon off balance and easy to manipulate

Starting three years ago, as soon as he gained his ESPer abilities, he also lost the memory of being the brother of Kyon. Or, he didn't lose that memory but Kyon did - which makes his gay/bi advancements on him even creepier.

** Itsuki (or ''someone'' in his organization) was also able to perceive something about Nakagawa's power—that Nakagawa had it, if nothing else. Nakagawa was the kid who was unknowingly able to catch glimpses of the Integrated Data Entity through Nagato, something that Itsuki presumably cannot. With regards to the kid, Itsuki says, "To be honest, you sure do have a lot of extraordinary friends." Now how many friends does Kyon really have?

* I'd have to say (in response to all the "X is a god" ideas really: Define the nature of god. We tend to assume that the god that one or other of the characters is is God in the abrahamic sense of the word, I.E an all powerful being, however there are many differant interpretations regarding the nature of "god" wherever you look. So who's to say that a being with the power to do some of the stuff that happens in the series is really a god?
** You've made a good point. By one definition, anyone or anything that is worshiped by a person can be considered a "god," regardless of if that "god" has any actual power.

In volume 4 Haruhi asks, "Koizumi, are you going to be on a date with your girlfriend?" to which the guy in question denies. The guess here is that he places the activities of the SOS Brigade and the Organization [[MarriedToTheJob above a relationship]]; however, having a relationship in high school fulfills part of his "want to become someone who appears to be a normal high school student." It either might be a sincere relationship or [[ShallowLoveInterest superficial]] (think: ''appears to be'').

* To take that "bitter smile" hint a step further, what if he had a partner who, because of either Kyon's interferences with the original timestream or Haruhi's powers, died or was erased from existence, and the real reason for his interest into Haruhi's case it to try to avoid this from happening?

He is, in fact, the LEADER of [[OrganizationIndex The Organization]]. As far as we seen, he tends to be.....unreliable when it comes to talking. Maybe he wants to get rid of/hijack Haruhi's power. Or maybe he's just there for some lulz, sort of like [[{{Bleach}} Gin Ichimaru]].

* Personally, ThisTroper thinks it'd be funnier if it was translated as "[[spoiler: Je t'aime]]"...

[[WMG: The entire series is just a XanatosGambit on the part of Itsuki, who not only is aware of the Fourth Wall but is also the true "God" of the show.]]

Blame Haruhi for this one.

Plan 1: In the event that Haruhi is a YaoiFangirl: Get Kyon used to the idea of being with Itsuki, to keep Haruhi entertained if she gets bored with Mikuru. (This works if Itsuki really does like Kyon, because he can say it's not just because of Haruhi when and if they have to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean placate]] [[YaoiFangirl her]].)
