Key events[]
- This episode features the 15,499th loop of the summer. The events are the same as those of the previous episode, except for the minor changes in clothes and speech.
Summary[]
Haruhi drags the SOS Brigade around to do various summer vacation activities, including swimming in a pool, going to an O-bon festival, playing with fireworks, and bug hunting for the 15,499th time. Kyon is plagued by an increasing sense of déjà vu as the activities continue.
Again, Asahina calls Kyon in a panicked state, asking him to meet her. Kyon meets up with her, Nagato, and Koizumi, who again explain that the world has been experiencing an endless time loop from August 17 to August 31 because Haruhi feels she still has things she must do during summer vacation. Nagato reveals that this is the 15,499th time they have looped.
Haruhi closes up the summer activities. Kyon suffers a more intense moment of déjà vu, but still can't think of what to do to make Haruhi satisfied and leaves his summer homework unfinished, therefore letting the loop continue.
Characters[]
Paranormal phenomena[]
Haruhi causes time to reset two weeks, as a consequence removing all future beyond those two weeks. The other members of the SOS Brigade experience remnants of memories from earlier versions of the summer as déjà vu. The Data Integration Thought Entity and the data organisms created by it recall everything from the earlier versions of the summer.
Quotes[]
- Haruhi: "Okay, you guys, are you ready?"
- Kyon: "Is anyone ever ready?"
- Asahina: "I'm good to go!"
Trivia[]
- This episode was the 14th episode broadcast for Season 2, but was the fourth new episode.
- This is the only Endless Eight episode in which:
- The intro plays after the SOS Brigade meet up in front of the station, rather than before.
- The scene involving the cicada-catching contest is not animated; instead, it is shown through still frames and Kyon's narration.
- Haruhi does not carry an ice pop when she meets the other Brigade members after their supermarket shift.
- When Kyon meets the others at night, Itsuki says that they are stuck in an Endless Loop three times, representing the three Endless Eight episodes up until this point.
