At the end of yesterday's tweet, I already mentioned the theatrical version of "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", which has a rating of 8.6 and is a masterpiece.
So, let’s not talk too much this time and get straight to the point. Please follow me and enter this world where there is no SOS group and no “aliens, future people and superpowers”.
"The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", as the name suggests, at the beginning of the story, Haruhi Suzumiya disappeared.
On December 17th, we just made an appointment with the SOS group for a Christmas hotpot party. On December 18th, she disappeared.
Not only that, her original position was replaced by another person who had disappeared.
What makes Kyon even more devastated is that not only Haruhi Suzumiya disappeared, but also the SOS group she founded, and all the interpersonal relationships related to the SOS group.
Koizumi's class disappeared from school. 1096 didn't recognize him, and other classmates in the class didn't remember Suzumiya Haruhi. Instead, they thought Kyon was affected by the flu and burned his head.
Kyon, who had always complained calmly, became hysterical when faced with such abnormal situations.
After school, he rushed to the SOS regiment's club room.
For him, this is the last position. If he loses even here, the SOS regiment will really cease to exist.
Opening the door, Nagato Yuki was still sitting by the window as before, holding a novel in his hand.
The setting sun outside the window shines on her body, like a statue that has passed through the years, eternal and unchanged.
However, if you look closely, Kyon will find that she is fundamentally different from the previous Nagato Yuki.
Seeing Ah Xu's intrusion, she actually looked timid, like a girl who was afraid of strangers.
And, he's wearing glasses.
After Kyon said "I don't have cute glasses," she never wore glasses again.
She said that she recognized Xu, and this answer gave Xu a glimmer of hope.
However, even this pitiful hope was quickly dashed.
Nagato Yuki sitting here is just a shy literary girl, not an invincible alien, nor a great god who can perfectly clean up messes.
Nagato Yuki, who can accurately remember everything in fifteen thousand reincarnations, cannot remember Suzumiya Haruhi.
In the club room, there are still some traces of Haruhi – the computer she hacked into.
However, on that computer, Axon could not find any information about the SOS group: he could not log in to the homepage, and all the files had disappeared…
At this point, Kyon had to admit the fact that the self-centered, extremely arrogant, bastard leader who refused to listen to others' advice had completely disappeared from his world.
He said, "Who wants to find her?" while walking home with sadness.
Although the main story of "The Disappearance" is of course the recovery of Haruhi Suzumiya.
However, the heroine of "The Disappearance" is not her, but Nagato Yuki, who often appears as a background panel in TV animations.
From a certain perspective, even if this theatrical version is called "The Melancholy of Nagato Yuki", there is no sense of violation.
Because there are two versions of Nagato Yuki in the movie, for the sake of convenience,
In the following, the invincible alien Nagato Yuki is called the Great Nagato, and the literary girl Nagato Yuki is called the Little Nagato.
After the drastic changes in the world on December 18, Nagato is definitely a cute girl who can make your heart melt.
Although she, like Nagato, talks very little,
However, just by looking at her eyes and her expression, it is clear that she likes Xu.
When Ah Xu was operating the computer, she secretly peeked at him through the reflection on the computer screen.
On the first day, the hysterical Ah Xu fell in love with her. Ask her if she is an "intelligence integration life form" and ask her if she knows the reason why the world line jumps.
Facing such a rude person, if you don't have any feelings, you will probably hope that he will die as far away as possible.
And Xiao Nagato handed over an application form for joining the club to A Xu shakingly, as cherished as handing out a love letter.
The next day, Kyon returned to the club room again due to inertia, and Nagato was still sitting inside, waiting for him.
If the SOS group hadn't come to occupy the magpie's nest, she would actually be the only member of the literature club. However, there were two cups of hot drinks on the windowsill.
Of course there is no need to say who the extra cup of hot drink is for.
In the small club room, there was only the sound of Xiao Nagato turning over books, until Kyon said, "I'm leaving today."
Xiao Nagato said "Okay", then quickly packed up his things and left with him.
It's a shame she waited here so late just to go home with him.
On the way home, Kyon casually mentioned whether she lived alone.
The original intention may just be to confirm how far this world is from the previous world.
As a result, Nagato launched a direct attack: "Want to go? My house."
Although she talks a lot, every sentence is very lethal. Every line is like reaching out her little hand to grab the corner of Xu's clothes to retain him.
When he arrived at her house, over a pot of tea, Nagato told the real reason why he met Kyon:
In May, she met Ah Xu in the city library.
At that time, she didn't know how to apply for a library card. Unfortunately, the staff seemed very busy, and she was not good at communicating with strangers.
Ah Xu appeared at that moment and got a library card for her. She didn't even have time to say thank you before she said goodbye to him.
It was because of this incident that she met Xu, and she always wanted to thank him.
After the two said this, Asakura Ryoko, who replaced Haruhi Suzumiya and sat in the back seat of Kyon, came up with a large pot of soup. It seemed that the two of them often had dinner together like this.
Facing Kyon who wanted to run away, this time Xiao Nagato directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes to keep him.
(Note that she is holding three bowls in her hands)
The character of Little Nagato is endearing in itself. When compared with the four-nothing character in the TV version – Nagato, who is speechless, expressionless, emotionless and unmoved, the audience will explode in an instant.
Kyon once called Nagato the "Great God", and Nagato is the well-deserved "Great God".
Every move and every smile can harvest the souls of countless Ah Wei and make countless audiences shout "awsl".
However, I think that after watching the theatrical version, what most viewers may like the most is not the little Nagato, but the big Nagato.
In this world where everything in the SOS group has disappeared, Kyon found the message O Nagato left behind in the science fiction novels she often read:
"The conditions for starting the program are to collect all the keys. The deadline is two days later."
The so-called "keys" are actually all members of the SOS group.
Haruhi Suzumiya and Koizumi didn't evaporate out of thin air, they just didn't come to this high school.
Through a friend who went to the same school as Suzumiya Haruhi in junior high school, Kyon asked about Suzumiya Haruhi's current school.
With the support of Suzumiya Haruhi's god-like mobility, the former members gathered together in one room again.
The program left by Nagato also popped up on the computer. Kyon pressed the Enter key and ran the "emergency escape program" she left behind.
(The following content will involve core spoilers, readers who mind, please stop)
Through this so-called "emergency escape procedure", Kyon returned to three years ago.
At this time, the world has not changed yet, and Nagato is still your great god, omnipotent.
From her, Kyon learned that the world changed drastically on December 18th three years later, and the culprit of this drastic change was not Haruhi Suzumiya, nor was it any foreign enemy.
It was Nagato Yuki who always cleaned up their messes and was always extremely reliable.
She makes the most of Haruhi Suzumiya's ability to change the world, coaxing its energy out of her in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after that night, there were no more aliens, future people, or superpowers, and Haru Suzumiya himself also lost his god-like power.
Why would Nagato do this?
According to her own understanding, it was the bugs accumulated in her body over the years that led her to make such a wrong decision.
In the endless August, she was the only one to record the entire journey. To others, it was just a sense of déjà vu, but to her, it was nearly 600 years!
However, both Ah Xu and the audience in front of the screen have another answer.
First of all, why did the production team have to make the endless August eight episodes in a row?
Isn’t it enough to make two or three episodes of fun?
After watching "The Vanishing", I realized the intention of the production team: they just wanted us, the audience, to empathize with Nagato's boredom.
In every reincarnation, Axu would notice her boredom, and then he would take the initiative to ask her——
"How are you lately?"
She would answer expressionlessly every time: "It's okay."
However, as bystanders, we can see that she is actually not good at all.
After the endless August, she didn't come to school on the first day, maybe because she was really exhausted.
Every time I see her respond to concern so coldly, it makes people feel heartbroken.
She is a program and cannot respond outside of the program.
Although she was unable to respond outside of the programming, she showed her emotions even within the confines of the programming.
Kyon asked her "Where did Haruhi and 1096 go?" She knew clearly but deliberately did not answer;
Kyon was sleeping on the table. When he woke up, he had two more woolen coats on him, one of which was hers…
Even though he couldn't express it, and he didn't even know what feelings were, O Nagato still said those words with his actions:
Please stay with me.
And the final product of this long-simmering emotional explosion is the new world in "Disappearance" – 1096 and the leader disappeared from Kyon, and only Xiao Nagato accompanied him to confess.
Little Nagato may just be what the great Nagato really looks like after abandoning all restraints and divinity.
The most touching thing is that she gave the choice to Kyon.
She carefully offered the whole world as a gift to him without forcing him to accept it.
In the end, Kyon chose the SOS group.
On the snowy night before Christmas, the two met on the roof of the building.
O-Nagato apologized to him and said that the Intelligence Integration Life Form was discussing her punishment.
As soon as he heard this, Xu was furious.
He said that if her leader dared to let her disappear, he would drag Haruhi Suzumiya together to make a big fuss and search the end of the universe to find her back.
However, O Nagato's vow to Yuki didn't waver at all.
There were only two sentences that really made her shake.
The first sentence is "I'm sorry" from Kyon, he apologizes for rejecting her world,
At this time, there seemed to be tears in O Nagato's eyes.
The second sentence was "yuki" coming from Axon's mouth. She thought Axon was calling her by her name "Yuki".
However, Kyon was actually just saying, "It's snowing", and the pronunciation of "snow" is also "yuki".
The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya stems from the dullness and boredom of daily life;
Nagato Yuki's melancholy stems from his own omniscience and omnipotence.
Everyone thought that relying on Nagato could solve all problems, but they never thought that she also hoped to be on the side of being cared for.
The reason why little Nagato is so pitiful is probably a reflection of this desire in her heart.
It can be said that "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" made the character of Nagato Yuki live in my heart.
That thin figure looking up at the stars under the snow has always lingered in my eyes.
This tea-like sense of satisfaction is the enduring charm of this animated film.
