Key Events[]
- This episode features the 15,524th loop of the summer. The events are the same as those of the previous four episodes, except for minor changes in clothes and speech.
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 15,524th 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 15,524th 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[]
- Koizumi: "I think I just might have an idea, though. What if someone were to grab Miss Suzumiya from behind and then whisper 'I love you' right into her ear."
- Kyon: "And who's going to be doing this?!"
- Koizumi: "Who else could play that role other than you?"
- Kyon: "Yeah, I knew you were going to say that."
- Haruhi: "I win again, losers!" [dubbed version; in the subtitled version she just says "I win again!"]
Trivia[]
- This episode was the 17th episode broadcast for Season 2, but was the seventh new episode.
- In the scene where the characters are shown exhausted after handing out balloons, Kyon says, "I feel like I just got away from the lead Adzam." This is a reference to a prototype mobile gun battery in the Mobile Suit Gundam world.
- This is the only Endless Eight episode in which:
- The scene where the SOS Brigade board their bikes and take off to the pool is not shown, yet Haruhi (but not Kyon) still delivers her dialogue for it. In the only other episode where the scene is not shown, "Endless Eight VIII", the dialogue is left out as well.
- Asahina has a hot towel on her forehead in the cafe due to the blow from the pool ball.
- Haruhi does not admonish Koizumi to ensure Asahina's wish for goldfish scooping is fulfilled.
- When Koizumi suggests they participate in the goldfish scooping, Kyon does not immediately dismiss the idea, only rejecting it after he sees Haruhi is taking part and will inevitably win.
- The act break takes place before Asahina calls Kyon.
- Kyon does not narrate the events that happen between the stargazing night and August 30th.
- The shirt Kyon wears to the festival has the Greek letter 'Sigma' [ Σ ] on it.
