S.O.S BRIGADE
The SOS Brigade, also referred to as the SOS-dan(SOS団, エス・オー・エスだん, Esuōesu dan), is the name of the club created by Haruhi Suzumiya in The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.
NamE
The club name is actually an acronym of "Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade To Greatly Enliven the World" (世界を大いに盛り上げるための涼宮ハルヒの団, Sekai wo Ooini moriagerutame no Suzumiya Haruhi no dan?). Some English-speaking fans translate it to Save the World by Overloading it with Fun Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade, (SOS) in order to retain the acronym. The official translation of the light novel also uses this translation. The official English dub, on the other hand, has translated it as "Spreading Excitement all Over the World with the Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade".
Originally, the club should have been an "organization" (SOSO) instead of a "brigade," but there were not enough members at its creation to be recognized as one.
Purpose The SOS Brigade is looking for mysteries of the world. People who have experienced something mysterious in the past, have experienced something mysterious recently, or who plan on a mysterious experience in the near future should come to the SOS Brigade for them be solved.
