Key Events[]
- This episode features the 15,513th loop of the summer. The events are the same as those of the previous two episodes, except for minor changes in clothes and speech.
- Unlike the previous episodes, recurring images of clouds and airplanes were emphasized throughout the episode.
Summary[]
Haruhi drags the SOS Brigade around to various summer vacation activities, including swimming in the pool, going to an O-bon festival, playing with fireworks, and bug hunting for the 15,513th 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 15,513th 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 and Kyon's sister 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: "I forgot to tell you something - make sure and bring your swim trunks and some money, too. Oh, and don't forget to -"
- Kyon: "Don't forget to bring my bike, I know."
- Haruhi: "Uh... right. Yeah, bring it."
- Hostess: [to Haruhi as she leaves the cafe, triggering the reset of the summer's events] "Thank you! Come again!"
Trivia[]
- This episode was the 15th episode broadcast for Season 2, but was the fifth new episode.
- At the beginning, Kyon remembers that Haruhi would say to bring his bike, and his sister remembers the baseball team scoring a home run.
- The figures made by the planes are the number "8".
- This is the only Endless Eight episode in which:
- Background music does not play when the SOS Brigade meet in front of the station.
- Nagato wears a bikini at the pool (instead of a swimsuit).
- Of the two children at the pool which Haruhi introduces to Kyon and Koizumi in order to play water soccer, one of them is a boy (instead of both being girls).
- Haruhi hits Kyon (instead of Asahina) in the face with the pool ball.
