Characters that carries the show

Yuki wins the Kyon

No one can tell me otherwise.

Better back the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up.

Harushit is litterally worst girl. I would rather Kyon turn out to be gay and go after Koizumi before ending up with her.

Asahina is just to moe for me to see her in a real-life relationship.

Yuki is the only girl that seems to actually give a shit about protecting the world for what it is.

Haruhi is the one breaking things, Asahina just cares about protecting and insuring the future she's from, and Koizumi is Koizumi.

She made the show. Without her, there would be no real plot.

>>137624917
Haruhi isn't aware of what shes doing though.

I'll never understand the dislike for her, other than the obvious lie in the last episode.

>>137625133
Yeah, but that doesn't mean she isn't shitting the place up.

Just because you don't know you're shooting someone in the ass everytime you hit the red button on the table doesn't mean his/her ass won't need reconstructive surgery every five god damn seconds.

>>137624128

Isn't that sort of the idea of the concept behind an MC? The MC is the character on whom the audience's primary interests and attention lie on, whom the story revolves around.

>>137625185
You can hardly blame someone from pressing a button if it isn't labeled and you don't think it does anything.

But what Haruhi does isn't even conscious, shes not pressing the red button. You're blaming her for breathing.

>>137625185
Thats still not a fair comparison. Haruhi isn't aware of any red button either. She is blissfully ignorant of anything happening at all

What I'm saying is this:

Yes, Haruhi doesn't know anything. Haruhi is Haruhi. She will always be Haruhi. There is no changing the Haruhi.

That's why she would be an absolute nightmare in any kind of serious relationship.

Think about it. You have this extreamly important secret that you have to keep away from your lover while also sneaking behind her and fixing the stuff that she subconsciously breaks.

You do this all while walking on eggshells around her because Haruhi is insecure to a fault and if she gets even the slightest bit upset then you could just poof out of existence.

Yes, you are right when you say Haruhi has no idea what's happening. It is not her fault.

However, witheverything that could possiblly go wrong, the only good choice Kyon has as far as a relationship with any SOS Brigade memeber goes is Yuki Nagato.

Yuki is the only one that will ever be able to fix Haruhi's changes. Yuki is the only one that has the ability to truly protect Kyon and truly cares about him enough to do so.

>>137625432
>Kyon gets with someone other than Haruhi
>Haruhi gets jealous and poofs them out of existence or kills everyone

Amazing.

>>137625231
I still don't understand why they didn't just tell her. They had some weak excuses about how it might upset her and cause her to create a new world, but by the end she develops enough attachment to the other characters that she probably wouldn't ditch.

All they need to tell her is that if she makes a new world they all die. She's not evil enough to want that to happen.

>>137625506
Because she could literally become god and decide things on a whim, or try playing with her powers, which would create more work.

>>137625470
By your logic, if a woman will try to kill me if I don't go out with her, I should just go out with her.

That's not how it should ideally work.

Yes, there could be backlash. However, Kyon should go with the correct choice no matter the consequences. Haruhi will be Haruhi no matter what happens. There's no changing that. Being in a relationship with her would actually create more problems than him just admitting that he loves Yuki.

>yuki
>the robot
no. you're just pandering to made up fanfiction
Haruhi will win the kyonbowl

>>137625583
It's confirmed that she's not a robot. She has human-like organs and a mostly human brain.

>>137625528
At which point Kyon can come keep her in check.

Also Haruhi isn't completely retarded. She can understand that there are consequences for actions. In my mind her knowing is a plus because it lowers the chances of her unconsciously fucking things up.

That's wrong

>>137625432
>You do this all while walking on eggshells
This is also wrong. Kyon doesn't walk on eggshells around her. Part of the point is that he's the one person that is treats her like a normal person. They fight each other, they confide in each other, they have what no 2 other characters in that show have.

>>137625724
no

>>137625836
Mother fucker, do you want to throw down over some anime bullshit?

Yuki-kun wins. End of discussion.

>>137625926
That's actually a pretty fair point.

I would argue that the ending of The Disappearance movie shows that Kyon and Yuki have something between them, though. I don't think she knows how to express it at that point, but you can tell there's something going on.

Meanwhile Sinbad is so god tier he got his own spin off, since he literally can carry a series.

>>137627120
>barely even considered the MC
You haven't been paying much attention, have you?

>>137627344
To what people think of him as a character? Sure I have, and lots of people think Aladdin is the MC.

I mean, I don't think that anyone can say otherwise: This guy had Medaka Box where it ended, before him it was Unreadable/Unwatchable

>>137627399
Both he and Aladdin are the MC's. They're in the final arc right now, and so far all of it has revolved around Alibaba.

>>137626166
>try to start an argument about Yuki and Haruhi
>didn't even read the LN
Step it up, senpai.

>>137627561
The point is he shares the MC role at best, or isn't even acknowledged as the MC at worst. It's retarded to say that the series is carried by him.

>>137627692
No, it's retarded to say things like he's "barely considered" the MC or "isn't acknowledged as the MC when he gets more development and panel-time than anyone else in the cast bar Aladdin.

It is being carried by him right now.

>>137627773
Do you have any idea what 'carrying a series' means? It doesn't mean that character is getting the most focus or panel time, if that was the case then this thread would just be 'post MCs'. It means they're the redeeming factor of a series that would be mediocre without them. That's not even remotely true for Magi, Alibaba isn't the most popular or important character to the point that his MC status is dubious and there's literally another character with their own series.

Saitama

If only s3 would come, accelerator and hamazura literally save the series.

>>137627976
Yeah, a character with their own series nowhere near as popular as Magi. What's your point? You're the one who started babbling on about him being "barely considered an MC", I merely corrected you; so that's your little tangent, not mine.

Sinbad might carry his own series, but not the main one. There are far more characters in Magi than Sinbad who are capable of doing that, Alibaba being one of them. But the OP asked to post characters that make a series unwatchable when they're not around, and to me that's Alibaba. Because when he isn't around, you get shit like the Kou civil war, the first half of Magnostadt and Alma Torran.
