History WMG / HaruhiSuzumiyaMikuruAsahina

* Which means she is also [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]'s relative, with LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya being the distant past of TTGL....

*** Someone with an old-fashioned (and by that I mean almost feudal) and sexually innocent view of the world might. IncestIsRelative after all. (Okay, I just love that trope name).

[[WMG:Mikuru is really Kyon's sister via Main/TimeTravel.]]

* This theory, unfortunately, is undermined by the vast difference in personalities. Kyon's little sister is, to put it mildly, [[Main/GenkiGirl a little fireball]]. Unless she suffered some dramatic trauma, it seems unlikely that she would grow up into the pathologically timid Mikuru.
** A variation that accounts for this is that ''Mikuru is Kyon's sister from an Main/AlternateUniverse where Kyon died''. Possibly, the presence of Haruhi has prevented it in this timeline; also possibly, she's going to ''cause'' it.

* Jossed. She admits to being conditioned to the point that she physically couldn't say anything she's not supposed to, but at least once in the novels some information gets declassified; Mikuru is actually surprised she can answer the question, but she clearly knew it all along. Also, Future Mikuru comments on how disturbing it is to go back to the past and see all the little differences from how she remembered it; apparently, the entire organisation has Main/RippleEffectProofMemory.

[[WMG:Asahina (Big) is actually from the same time period as Asahina (Small) because Asahina (Small) decided to stay in the past with the SOS Brigade and thus took [[Main/TheSlowPath The Long Way]] back to her time period.]]

*** So [[spoiler: [[EvilCounterpart Ryoko]]]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist is]] [[GoodIsNotNice Uriel]]? Where does Tsuruya fit into all this? She [[OneMarioLimit can't be]] [[Literature/TheBookOfMormon Joseph Smith]], and I don't yet know enough about [[MemeticMutation LOLFANG-tan]]'s business with the SOS Brigade to pinpoint her place in this.

** She [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar got crap past the radar]]. Itsuki can fight celestials, but can't tell the difference between them and a human.

* And [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Chao Lingshen]] is her best friend or OddCouple roomate, who inexplicably used outdated spells based on [[LanguageOfMagic Latin]] instead of [[LanguageOfMagic Microsoft SQL]]? I want this to be true ''so'' much.

Alas, Kyon's love is to forever go unrequited. Miss Asahina (big) didn't refuse Kyon's kiss because she didn't want to endanger the universe by way of Haruhi's jealousy. It's because she's [[LipstickLesbian just not into that]]. Apparently, all those "cosplay sessions" had an [[RapeIsLove effect]] on her. The penultimate proof is in the above reference to Snow Mountain Syndrome, in which all the other characters have the [[{{doppelganger}} objects of their affection]] show up in their rooms to seduce them, while Haruhi shows up in Mikuru's room.

** The shared gesture is fairly common, actually, not something specific to Mikuru. For another example, see [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei Chiri's disturbing variation,]] when she tries to become a {{Dojikko}}. There are lots more, but that was the first that came to mind.

She was just fiddling with some strange alien technology she found one day and accidentally made a time machine out of it.

[[WMG:Mikuru's spaciness is because of her memory intentionally being "[[QuantumLeap swiss-cheesed]]" to prevent paradox.]] She's the tool of the Future to change the Past. Having her memory change with each change would cause undue stress, so she's intentionally "dumbed down." Note her future self, who is also her Superior, doesn't have this problem in the slightest.

** Except that [[spoiler:she did a similar (albeit sightly different) promise to Kyon: that when the time comes she ''will be the one saving Kyon-kun''. A priomise he knows Mikuru will fulfill.]]

** She could just be lying, you know. Trying to make it seem like she comes form a much, much further future than she really does to keep her cover. I genuinely cannot ever see boats going away, because people like cruises and kayaking and fishing for pleasure and for work and other things that involve going on the water. There will always be a market for it, and in accordance to her above-mentioned lacklustre education, I also find it pretty hard to believe that someone living in '''''Japan''''', a bloody '''archipelago''' where seafood is a staple of Japanese diet, wouldn't know the ocean is salty. She's got to be lying.

* they can't travel before a specific day ( Tanabata three years before the start of the series). they can travel to that day and any day after that no matter how far away from it they are (unless there is another limit that hasn't been mentioned) but they can't travel before that day at all (possibly because the world was created on that day). there already is an alien (Yuki) so Haruhi doesn't really need another one but she does need a time traveler which is what Mikuru is for (and we know she is one because she has taken Kyon back in time multiple times).
