The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒの消失 Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu) is a film based on the fourth Haruhi Suzumiya light novel of the same name. Directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and Yasuhiro Takemoto, and written by Nagaru Tanigawa, it was released in Japan on February 6th, 2010. The movie has a run time of 162 minutes, the equivalent of 7 anime episodes.

Summary

On December 16, the SOS Brigade organizes a Christmas hotpot party. Kyon is skeptical of its success, but still helps decorate the clubroom. The next day at gym, Kyon talks to Taniguchi, who announces that he has a date with a girl from Kouyouen planned for the following week.

While walking to school on the morning of December 18, Kyon sees Taniguchi wearing a face mask. Taniguchi claims that he has a cold, denying having the date he mentioned previously. At school, Kyon finds that a cold epidemic has spread around his class and Haruhi is absent. When Kyon comments on the suddenness of the epidemic, Kunikida tells him it has been going on for a week, and that Taniguchi sat out gym class yesterday. Ryoko Asakura appears for the afternoon classes and takes her place at the desk behind Kyon, to Kyon's terror since she tried to kill him and he thought she had been relocated to Canada. His classmates, however, believe that Asakura has always been sitting behind Kyon, and deny knowing Haruhi Suzumiya.

Distraught and confused, Kyon leaves class and tries to find Koizumi, but Koizumi's entire classroom has disappeared. After class, Kyon encounters Asahina and Tsuruya, who do not remember him and physically fend off his attempts to talk to Asahina. In a final attempt to find a trace of the world he knows, Kyon goes to the Literature Club room. He finds Nagato, who denies knowing him and being an alien, and is much meeker than the Nagato Kyon knows. All of the items kept by the SOS Brigade are missing and the computer is an older model with no SOS files. Nagato gives him an application to join the Literature Club.

When Kyon gets home, he asks his sister about the SOS Brigade adventures she participated in and tries to get Shamisen to talk to him the way he did in The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya, both to no avail. Disappointed, Kyon goes to sleep.

Kyon returns to the Literature Club room the next day and finds The Fall of Hyperion, which is the same book Nagato used to reveal her true identity in the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Kyon opens the book and finds a bookmark which reads: "Program Run Condition: Collect the keys. Deadline: Two Days Later". Kyon is unsure about the message's significance and accepts Nagato's invitation to her apartment. When they arrive, Nagato reveals she has one memory of him: an incident from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where he helped her get a library card. However, Nagato remembers him as a random passerby rather than a brigade member. Ryoko Asakura comes to visit Nagato, startling Kyon who tries to back out. Nagato pulls on his sleeve as he attempts to exit. Kyon is moved by Nagato expressing a desire for once and stays. He finds that this Asakura is a friendly neighbor who helps Nagato. Kyon still feels uneasy around Asakura as they leave despite her kindness towards him. He finds himself increasingly missing Haruhi, even talking to her when he is alone.

The next day (December 20), Kunikada mentions Kyon's rant about Haruhi to Taniguchi, who recognizes the name, having gone to the same middle school as in the old world, and tells Kyon that she attends Kouyouen. Kyon thanks Taniguchi and leaves school to find Haruhi. Waiting outside Kouyouen until classes let out, he sees Haruhi and Koizumi walk out. Kyon notices that Haruhi has a similar demeanor to the one she had before she made the SOS Brigade. He tries to speak to her, but she pushes him off as she does not remember him. Kyon then tells her about the incident at the Tanabata of three years ago, and identifies himself as "John Smith", the alias that he used during "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody". Haruhi shares his memory of this incident, and since she told no one about John Smith, she realizes Kyon is telling the truth.

After recovering, Haruhi listens to everything Kyon says about his alternate universe. He tells her about Nagato being an alien, Koizumi being an esper, Asahina being a time traveler, and Haruhi having reality-altering powers. Intrigued, Haruhi decides to gather the former SOS Brigade members.

Kyon privately questions Koizumi on his relationship with Haruhi. Koizumi admits that he has a crush on her, but Haruhi has grown bored of him, seemingly only having been interested in him due to his being a transfer student (and therefore "mysterious"). He contrasts this with how Kyon immediately aroused her interest and excitement.

Pretending to be students at North High by dressing in Kyon's gym clothes, they take Asahina from the Calligraphy Club and bring her to the Literature Club room, where Nagato is waiting. Once they enter the room, the computer spontaneously activates and displays a message, revealing that the "keys" alluded to by the bookmark are the five members of the SOS Brigade, and that there is a program in the computer which provides a chance of restoring the world to its original state. However, it cannot be aborted once activated, has no guarantee of success, and will likely result in Kyon dying or being lost in time. Kyon activates it, and finds himself in the Tanabata of three years ago.

He finds the older Asahina by waiting near the spot where he encountered her in "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody". She reveals that she had her younger self take him back in time solely so that he would know to come to the park now, and brings him to Nagato's apartment. There, Nagato explains that she altered the world early on December 18, changing everyone's memories within one year, because of "errors", which Kyon later deems to be emotions that she couldn't understand. She injects nanomachines into Asahina and Kyon to protect them and provides a weapon to normalize her future self.

Kyon and Asahina travel to December 18 to witness Nagato warp reality. Kyon reflects on his decision to activate the program and undo the change.

• This device is easier to use
• Quiz time
• Asakura attacks again

He concedes that the world is a much more interesting place with paranormal beings in it and is about to shoot Nagato when Asakura intervenes, stabbing him in the back. She reveals that Nagato altered her to be Nagato's personal bodyguard, and is accordingly defending her from Kyon. Kyon's vision starts to blur and he becomes delirious with blood loss. Another Nagato catches Asakura's knife. He sees the younger and the older Asahinas crying over him. Kyon's future self, seemingly having time traveled with Asahina and Nagato, comes up to Kyon and tells him not to worry. Kyon then loses consciousness.

Sometime later, Kyon wakes up in a hospital run by Koizumi's 'Organization', and finds that the world has been normalized. According to Koizumi, while the SOS Brigade were going shopping for a reindeer costume for Kyon, Kyon fell down the stairs and was in a coma for three days. The entire group were shaken, especially Haruhi, who saw a mysterious woman that she suspects pushed Kyon and has stayed with Kyon the whole time he was hospitalized. Kyon looks over to see her asleep in a sleeping bag. She wakes up after Kyon touches her hair, scolding Kyon for worrying her and claiming that it is her duty to look after injured brigade members. Kyon apologizes and agrees to her punishment of cosplaying as a reindeer for both the SOS Brigade and a children's Christmas Day gathering.

During his final hours at the hospital, Nagato approaches Kyon to tell him she is aware of what she did December 18. Kyon apologizes for causing her emotion induced error. Nagato tells him that her violation is being assessed by the Data Integration Thought Entity because it is afraid she will malfunction again. Kyon promises that if they decommission Nagato, the SOS Brigade will do whatever it takes to retrieve her. He warns that he would reveal the truth to Haruhi by telling her he is John Smith, and let her destroy the Entity. Nagato thanks Kyon and transfers the message.

On Christmas Eve, Kyon considers his duty to go back in time and save himself, but concludes that the world can wait and joins Haruhi's hotpot party.

After the credits roll, at the public library, Nagato watches a boy help a girl get a library card. After they leave, Nagato continues reading.

Trailer

Production

The real-life Konan Hospital was used as the model for the hospital where Kyon is cared for, including Kyon's room and the rooftop where he speaks to Nagato.

During the voice recording Natsuko Kuwatani, who voices Ryoko Asakura, kept slipping into her Ryoko Achakura voice, requiring a number of retakes.

The production crew recorded "beep"s to accompany the appearance of characters on the computer screen in the Literature Clubroom, but ultimately decided to leave the manifestation of Nagato's message silent in order to match the scene in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 6".

Release

Originally scheduled to screen in 24 theatres across Japan beginning in February 2010, the film continued to accumulate more screenings until it ran in over 100 theatres. Regular screenings lasted until October 2010, over 8 months after the film was originally released. The film earned more than 850 million yen ($10.5 million) in revenue from screenings in Japan.

The film's theme song, Yasashii Bōkyaku (優しい忘却 "Tender Oblivion") by Minori Chihara, was released on February 24, 2010. The opening theme is Bōken Desho Desho?" by Aya Hirano.

Quotes

Kyon: [Narrating] "The morning of December 16. It was so cold. And I mean cold that if you took an ice pick and plunged it into the ground, you'd shatter the Earth into a million pieces."

---

Kyon: [Narrating] "It was nice and warm up until the school arts festival, but when December hit, the temperature dropped super-fast, like it was making up for lost time or something. It was like Japan just decided to skip Fall this year. Or, better yet, maybe the guy upstairs confused a prayer for more business with a spell to change the weather or something. Siberian air mass...seriously, I know you have to stick to your route and all, but you could skip us once in a while. It's like the seasons are out of whack or something. Oh great, now I'm worried about the environment. Yeah, well, I might be worried, but it's not like I'm gonna do anything about it. Too much work."

---

Kyon: [Narrating] "Do I know what's happening next week? This so-called "event" that's making everyone freak out? Of course I do. It's easy when the person in the seat behind me makes it her mission to keep track of such things. She's the general manager of all the trouble I've gotten into since April. She's the root of all evil in the universe. The person behind every threat to my existence. Uh, yeah...her."

---

Haruhi Suzumiya: "How about you, Koizumi? I bet you got a date with a girlfriend, don't ya?"

Itsuki Koizumi: [Sighs] "It would be wonderful if that were indeed the case, however, believe it or not, my schedule prior to Christmas Eve is completely open and flexible at present. To tell the truth, I was getting a little worried about how I was going to pass the time."

Kyon: [Thinking] "Liar. You made yourself free on purpose. Admit it!"

---

Haruhi: "Since nobody has plans for next week, we're gonna throw an SOS Brigade Christmas party! As usual, if there are any objections, you can file them after the event and I promise I'll take them into consideration!"

Kyon: [Thinking] "And, as usual, she's doing whatever she wants. She did ask everyone if they had plans, though. I guess she's making a little progress."

---

Kyon: "What did you say? Before?"

Taniguchi: "I said I didn't underst-"

Kyon: "Not that."

Taniguchi: "Oh, Haruhi Suzumiya? She was the gonzo girl of East Junior High. The two of us were in the same class in middle school. I didn't know you guys knew each other. It's a small wor-"

Kyon: "You slimy octopus!"

Taniguchi: "Huh? Who are you calling an octopus? If I'm an octopus, you're a dried-up old squid!"

Kyon: [Pulls Taniguchi into a desk] "You know Haruhi? You really know who she is?"

Taniguchi: "Of course I know her. Even after 50 years you don't forget someone like her. All the kids who went to East Junior High know that crazy chick. Let me go, man! What the hell?"

Kyon: "Where is she? Where the hell did Haruhi go?!"

---

Nagato: "What are you doing out here? And why?"

Kyon: "Funny. I was just about to ask you the same exact thing."

Nagato: "A...walk?"

Kyon: [Thinking] "That's not true. That's not true, Nagato. You were tired. You'd had enough of Haruhi's nonsense. Getting dragged all over the place. You were tired of protecting me. And you were tired of whatever else you had to do. Stuff we didn't even know about. The fatigue from all those things kept building up."

---

Kyon: "Be honest with yourself: you can't stand Haruhi. She's a huge pain in the ass. Everything she wants to do sucks. There's no way you had any fun at all, is there? You can't deny it, so don't even try. So explain this: why'd you press the 'Enter' key? Huh?"

---

Kyon: "I guess that's it. The other way is definitely better. Having a world like this just doesn't feel right. I'm sorry, Nagato, but I like the you you used to be than the you you are now. You look better without glasses anyway."

Trivia

• At one point the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya^MAL was the highest ranking anime movie (9.13)^a on the popular website  MyAnimeList.net overthrowing the previous holder  Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance^MAL (8.95).^a Eventually many movies surpassed Disappearance in ranking and most anime movies were crushed in ranking by  Kimi no Na wa. (your name.)^MAL (9.2+).
• Paranormal phenomena observed: alternate world, time travel, matter manipulation
• Haruhi wondered if Kyon was a slider from another world.
• If one is to look closely at some of the scenes in the movie, they bear a remarkable resemblance to the pictures and/or scenes showed during the first opening theme of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime, particularly that of the message that Yuki Nagato had left for Kyon in the computer inside the Literature Club Room, the book falling during Kyon's confrontation with the "other" Yuki Nagato, the knife that Ryoko Asakura held before attempting to kill Kyon, and the scene in the movie where Nagato is seen looking and holding her hands up to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky. Those parts in the opening theme may be asserted as direct references to the movie, long before even an announcement of the movie was made.
• When Kyon questions Asakura's presence in the classroom, in the dubbed version, she thinks he is worried that she is contagious. In the subtitled version she takes more offense, thinking he was hoping that she would be sick longer.
• In the subtitled version, when Kyon asks the altered Mikuru Asahina about her being from the future, she is puzzled, asking "What do you mean, the future?" The dubbed version seems to hint that she is still a time traveler, as she immediately understands what he means, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm not from the future."
• If one looks closely at the scene of the flashback of when Kyon and Yuki first met in the public library, one would see that Haruhi Suzumiya was the one who called Kyon, even though she never met Kyon in the altered reality, apart from the "John Smith" encounter. However, it is possible that the flashback is of Kyon's memory of what happened.
• The movie itself shares some qualities with the 1946 movie  It's a Wonderful Life by showing an alternate timeline where Kyon has never met Haruhi. Other references to this film can be considered Kyon's blue scarf, which he did not have in the manga and the light novel, and which remains with him until movie's climax, which also happened with George Bailey, the main protagonist of It's a Wonderful Life.
• The voice that spoke to Kyon as he was losing consciousness was his own indicating that a future version of him arrived to preserve the original timeline with assistance from Mikuru. Later light novels confirm this.
• Kyon and Nagato's rooftop discussion uses a wordplay on Nagato's given name. Kyon says "Yuki", seemingly addressing Nagato by her given name (whereas he has otherwise always addressed her by her family name), but it is then shown that he is pointing out that snow is starting to fall ("Yuki" means snow). The dubbed version attempts to carry over this verbal misdirection into English by having Kyon say "Yuki... means snow, doesn't it?"
• In the dubbed version, at dinner Asakura addresses Nagato as "Yuki". In the Japanese version of this scene she addresses her as "Nagato-san" as usual.
• In the scene after the credits, Nagato covers her mouth with the book, possibly hiding a smile. Another interpretation is that she is using the book as a placeholder for a smile; simply, books would make her smile if she could.
• At 162 minutes, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is officially the second-longest animated feature film ever produced. Two other anime films, both from the  Space Battleship Yamato series, place first and third. They are, respectively,  Space Battleship Yamato: Final Yamato (at 152 minutes for the 35mm cut and 163 minutes for the 70mm cut) and  Space Battleship Yamato: Be Forever Yamato (at 151 minutes).

Differences from the light novel

• In the prologue of the film Haruhi says, "but no alcohol, I've vowed to go my whole life without ever touching the stuff", whereas in the light novel she says "to never drink again." [emphasis added] This is because the sequence in Remote Island Syndrome where Haruhi, Kyon and Mikuru get drunk does not appear in the anime version.
• The events that happen in the SOS Brigade club room are spread between December 16 and 17, while in the light novel, no dialogue is exchanged in the club room on December 17.
• In the film, the December 17 conversation between Kyon and Taniguchi regarding the latter being on a date takes place during P.E. class, while in the light novel, it takes place on the way to school.
• In the light novel, Kyon attempts to call Haruhi's number but does not get an answer. This is omitted from the film. Instead, Kyon merely sees that Haruhi's number is erased from his phone's contact list. Additionally, Sasaki is listed as a contact on Kyon's phone.
• The policeman that overhears Kyon's encounter with Haruhi and Itsuki in the alternate reality does not appear in the light novel.
• In the film, the final conversation between Kyon and Yuki on December 21 is moved outside, but still within the hospital grounds, while in the light novel, it takes place while Kyon is still in the hospital bed.
