[00:04] ---
    Honestly, I didn't think
    I would come here ever again.

[00:08] OS
    ARARA
[00:09] ---
    I don't even feel nostalgic.
[00:11] OS
    RAGI
[00:29] ---
    This is a room I've visited
    many times in the past.

[00:32] ---
    This is a room I've visited
    in various forms.

[00:36] ---
    Nowadays, this is a room
    that I should not be visiting.

[00:40] ---
    If Meek Nadeko is still
    somewhere in this house,

[00:44] ---
    this is the first place to look.
[00:59] ---
    Here goes!
[02:31] OS
    NADEMONOGATARI EPISODE ZERO
    NADEKO DRAW, PART THREE
    OFF SEASON BROADCAST NUMBER FOUR
[02:49] ---
    Damn you. You're supposed to be a slowpoke!
    So don't dodge my critical hit!
[02:55] ---
    Huh!?
[02:57] ---
    What? Why is Wrath Nadeko here?
[03:03] ---
    Hate it, hate it, hate it!
[03:05] ---
    I will never, ever work!
[03:08] ---
    There's no way
    I'm gonna help you with your work.
[03:12] ---
    That's right.
[03:13] OS
    10,000 HOURS ÷ 5 PEOPLE
[03:13] ---
    Originally, I created four shikigami to share
    the workload to become a manga artist.

[03:20] OS
    FORCED LABOR
[03:20] ---
    At the same time, that's the reason
    why they all escaped from my room.

[03:25] OS
    FORCED LABOR
[03:26] ---
    If they think they'll be punished
    with forced labor if they get caught,

[03:29] ---
    it's no surprise there would be
    a Nadeko who resorts to force like this.

[03:35] ---
    The logic of "Get 'em before they get you."
[03:38] ---
    I-It's okay, Wrath Nadeko.
[03:41] ---
    I-I won't be forcing labor on you.
[03:45] ---
    I won't make you put in
    10,000 hours of effort.
[03:48] ---
    Shut up! You're not gonna fool me!
[03:52] ---
    I'm gonna kill you,
    and I'm gonna rest!
[03:55] ---
    Huh!?
[04:05] ---
    Wrath Nadeko's characteristic
    as a shikigami apparition

[04:08] ---
    is her superior physical skills,
[04:10] ---
    as she has done away
    with all limitations.

[04:15] ---
    Otherwise, even if you use a chisel,
[04:18] ---
    you can't normally leave
    a gaping hole in the front door.

[04:24] ---
    Calm down. Let's talk this out.
[04:27] ---
    Ch-Chisels aren't tools
    that are used like that, okay?
[04:32] ---
    Huh!?
[04:33] ---
    Then how do use this as a tool!?
[04:36] ---
    Huh!?
[04:37] ---
    Are you saying a gouge has some purpose
    other than hollowing out your innards?
[04:45] ---
    Chisels are creative—
[04:47] ---
    Creative!?
[04:49] ---
    Then you're set on making me work!
[04:51] OS
    I DON'T WANT TO WORK
[04:53] ---
    Huh!?
[04:57] ---
    Hyah!
[05:01] ---
    Huh!?
[05:04] ---
    If you want to rest...
[05:06] ---
    I'll let you rest!
[05:10] ---
    Shut up. You rest instead.
[05:14] ---
    You're reluctantly
    putting in effort, aren't you?
[05:18] ---
    If it's too much pain, just stop.
[05:22] ---
    Huh!?
[05:32] ---
    And thus, I secured my second shikigami.
[05:36] OS
    VS WRATH NADEKO, THE GREAT OPERATION
[05:38] ---
    "Hollowing out my innards."
[05:39] ---
    Wrath Nadeko plainly
    disclosed her attack method,

[05:43] ---
    and I decided to use
    that plan against her.

[05:47] ---
    I went wrathful
    against Wrath Nadeko.

[05:50] ---
    In other words, I had her come get caught
    inside the blank sheet of paper.

[05:58] ---
    Everything went well, so I might
    be able to get away with being a bit giddy.

[06:05] ---
    But I felt restless because
    the final words from Wrath Nadeko

[06:09] OS
    YOU REST INSTEAD
[06:10] ---
    had stabbed me sharper and deeper
    than any chisel could.

[06:12] OS
    YOU'RE RELUCTANTLY PUTTING IN EFFORT, AREN'T YOU?
[06:17] ---
    Those were Wrath Nadeko's words.
[06:20] ---
    And I'm sure they're words
    from my own heart.

[06:25] ---
    That said, Current Nadeko
    can't be depressed forever.

[06:30] ---
    Even now, I cannot forget that I'm currently
    committing the crime of trespassing.

[06:36] ---
    Now that I'm done here,
    I must make an escape.

[06:40] ---
    I have to protect myself.
[06:44] ---
    There's a mark left on the floor, but it's
    an unnoticeable size until it's noticed.

[06:50] ---
    In any case, because the front door
    is clearly destroyed in that manner,

[06:55] ---
    a perfect cover-up
    would be impossible.

[06:58] ---
    I'll have my self-centered friend Tsukihi
    explain it all later.

[07:04] ---
    Despite the complications, I captured
    Flirty Nadeko and Wrath Nadeko.

[07:08] ---
    There are two shikigami remaining.
[07:11] ---
    Meek Nadeko and God Nadeko.
[07:20] ---
    All right. I think I'll borrow some.
[07:56] ---
    Hello, Sengoku here!
[07:59] OS
    SCREAM
[08:00] ---
    Of all things, I introduced myself.
[08:04] ---
    Huh?
[08:05] ---
    Ms. Sengoku?
[08:08] ---
    It was a voice I'd never forget.
[08:10] ---
    It was Ms. Hitagi Senjyogahara.
[08:25] ---
    I had a very scary experience!
[08:27] ---
    I was about to die from shock!
[08:29] ---
    You can even call this
    a near-death experience.

[08:32] ---
    Am I alive and okay right now?
[08:35] ---
    This isn't the afterlife, is it?
[08:38] ---
    Oh, that was so scary.
[08:40] ---
    I'm never answering a phone
    ever again.

[08:47] ---
    If I head straight down this path,
[08:50] ---
    it leads to the mountain
    that North Shirahebi Shrine sits on.

[08:54] ---
    This strays from my current objective
    of searching for 'Loomer Nadeko

[08:58] ---
    who's wandering around
    in a titillating guise.

[09:01] ---
    However, if I were to set my sights
    on God Nadeko instead,

[09:06] ---
    North Shirahebi Shrine is like
    the big favorite for locations.

[09:33] ---
    O-Ononoki!?
[09:36] ---
    No!
[09:41] ---
    O-Ononoki!
[09:43] ---
    No, no, no! Ononoki!
[09:48] ---
    Please! Answer me!
[09:51] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[09:52] ---
    You're so noisy.
[09:56] ---
    I'm a doll apparition, so being taken apart
    won't be enough to kill me.
[10:02] ---
    And I've been keeping this
    a secret from you until now,
[10:06] ---
    but I'm also a corpse apparition
    so I've been dead from the beginning.
[10:12] ---
    She sure talks a lot.
    And she only has her head.

[10:15] ---
    Sheesh.
[10:17] ---
    You were up here chopping up snakes.
[10:19] ---
    Don't get scared
    from a visual image of this level.
[10:23] ---
    By the way, I have a favor
    to ask of you, Nadeko Sengoku.
[10:27] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[10:30] ---
    I can't see well from this angle,
[10:33] ---
    but my body parts are likely scattered
    all over this area.
[10:37] ---
    Can you pick them up for me?
[10:40] ---
    If you put the segments
    of each part together, they'll adhere.
[10:48] ---
    I-I won't be able to gather
    all of the tiny flesh pieces.
[10:53] ---
    You can approximate.
    This is triage for the time being.
[10:57] ---
    If you insist,
[10:59] ---
    you can share
    some of your flesh with me.
[11:02] ---
    That's too scary.
[11:06] ---
    But in times like this,
    corpse-type apparitions are at a disadvantage.
[11:10] OS
    SAFETY FIRST
[11:11] ---
    If a fellow immortal being,
    for example a vampire,
[11:14] ---
    had their flesh dispersed, it would disappear
    and new parts would grow from the segments.
[11:18] ---
    No trouble at all.
[11:21] ---
    Oh, but in this case, it was a good thing
    that I was a corpse-type apparition.
[11:26] ---
    It's a blessing in disguise.
[11:28] ---
    Because you see,
    snake venom is a hemolytic.
[11:32] ---
    A vampire, an apparition of the blood,
    doesn't fare too well against it.
[11:37] ---
    Huh? Snake venom?
[11:40] ---
    No, it's not something
    I should notice right now.

[11:43] ---
    Of course the culprit is God Nadeko.
[11:47] ---
    This is truly what you call
    not knowing one's place.

[11:50] ---
    Depending on how things unfold,
[11:51] ---
    it wouldn't have been too strange
    if I'm the one who ended up like this.

[11:56] ---
    But hey, God Nadeko, why go this far?
[12:01] ---
    What's driving you to such atrocities?
[12:04] ---
    This is way too sinister.
[12:07] ---
    My goodness, really.
[12:10] ---
    Ever since I started getting
    involved with Tsukihi Araragi,
[12:13] ---
    nothing has gone well for me.
[12:15] ---
    Oh, but there was one thing.
[12:19] ---
    Nadeko Sengoku.
[12:21] ---
    The fact I became friends with you.
[12:24] ---
    Huh?
[12:25] OS
    NADEKKO WITH YOU!
    THE BOKU-GIRL ARC #1
[12:26] ---
    Why are you suddenly saying
    something that makes me so happy?
[12:30] ---
    Is she trying to make me fall for her?
[12:32] ---
    I don't know how serious she's being.
[12:34] ---
    But current situation aside, I'm pretty sure
    this girl used to hate me in the past.

[12:39] ---
    Since she's a doll, she's easily affected
    by the people around her,

[12:43] ---
    and if anything, her characteristics
    tend to waver... Was it?

[12:47] ---
    Right. So if you think I'm a good person,
    that means you're a good person.
[12:54] OS
    NADEKKO WITH YOU!
    THE BOKU-GIRL ARC #2
[12:54] ---
    I'm telling you,
    don't make me fall for you.
[13:03] ---
    It's fine, really.
[13:05] ---
    Squeeze it.
[13:06] ---
    Push them together
    like when you're making stuff from clay.
[13:09] ---
    O-Okay.
[13:11] ---
    I-I'm sorry if I get left and right wrong.
[13:14] OS
    LEFT RIGHT
[13:14] ---
    Give me a break.
[13:14] OS
    RIGHT LEFT
[13:15] OS
    NADEKO SENGOKU
[13:15] ---
    I'll swap your left and right limbs if you do.
[13:16] OS
    UKOGNES OKEDAN
[13:17] OS
    SHE SCOLDED ME.
[13:18] OS
    HOW SHE SCOLDS ME IS SCARY.
[13:20] ---
    H-Hey, what happened?
[13:24] ---
    Was God Nadeko that powerful?
[13:27] ---
    Well, she's powerful in her own way.
[13:30] ---
    And as you guessed, I was defeated
    by my target, God Nadeko.
[13:35] ---
    But strictly speaking,
    I wasn't facing just God Nadeko.
[13:40] ---
    I had to deal with both
    Meek Nadeko and God Nadeko at the same time.
[13:45] ---
    So it was a two-on-one.
[13:48] ---
    That means God Nadeko also used
    Meek Nadeko in some fashion as well?
[13:56] ---
    I guess that's what this means.
[13:59] ---
    But for starters, let's analyze how I lost
    so I can reflect upon my performance.
[14:06] ---
    First of all, the one I found after
    I parted ways with you was Meek Nadeko.
[14:12] ---
    She was walking around town
    in a swimsuit.
[14:16] ---
    In a swimsuit!?
[14:18] ---
    No way. Wasn't Meek Nadeko
    topless and wearing bloomers?

[14:23] ---
    I-It wasn't a micro-bikini, was it?
[14:25] ---
    No, it was a school-issued swimsuit.
[14:28] ---
    I see, then that's good.
[14:32] ---
    That's a lot better!
[14:34] ---
    I was tailing Meek Nadeko
    wearing a school-issued swimsuit.
[14:38] ---
    I could have just blown her away
    with Unlimited Rulebook right when I found her,
[14:43] ---
    but I decided to let her wade around.
[14:46] ---
    After all, she was in a swimsuit.
[14:49] ---
    But we ultimately
    have to deal with all four shikigami.
[14:56] ---
    We believe Meek Nadeko
    is relatively harmless,
[14:59] ---
    so if we use her like live decoys
    for sweet fish angling,
[15:01] ---
    I expected we'd be able to round up
    the whole gang in one shot.
[15:05] ---
    I see.
[15:07] ---
    I kept tailing her.
[15:10] ---
    But she was clearly a decoy.
[15:12] ---
    Decoy.
[15:12] OS
    DECOY
    (OTORI)
[15:13] ---
    Right. It was a trap.
[15:16] ---
    She successfully lured me
    into this shrine,
[15:19] ---
    and shredded me from behind
    with the snake fang.
[15:23] ---
    The one who was leaving Meek Nadeko
    at large wasn't me, but God Nadeko.
[15:29] ---
    Sheesh. What is this about a shikigami
    being used by another shikigami?
[15:34] ---
    Right.
[15:36] ---
    By the way,
    what's the chronological order?

[15:39] ---
    When Meek Nadeko was walking around
    in nothing but bloomers,

[15:42] ---
    and when she's climbing this mountain
    in a school-issued swimsuit.

[15:46] ---
    Which is first, and which is later?
[15:48] ---
    Whichever was first
    is quite the perverted one.

[15:51] ---
    But I feel this is
    quite an important factor here.

[15:58] ---
    By the way, how did things go
    on your end, Nadeko Sengoku?
[16:02] ---
    Your outfit has changed drastically.
[16:05] ---
    From how your limbs
    are still attached to your body,
[16:07] ---
    I'm assuming
    you hadn't come across God Nadeko.
[16:11] ---
    To be honest, it's really hard for me
    to make a report to a professional

[16:16] ---
    who was utterly defeated to this level.
[16:19] ---
    While continuing my treatment of Ononoki,
[16:22] ---
    I explained the situation thus far, making sure
    it didn't sound like bragging at any point.

[16:29] ---
    Don't flatter yourself.
[16:31] ---
    Acting so modest. How despicable.
[16:34] ---
    Um, don't hate me now, okay?
[16:36] ---
    I'm in the middle of devoting myself
    to gluing your limbs together.
[16:40] ---
    But Ougi Oshino, huh?
[16:43] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[16:45] ---
    Mr. Ougi should be moving based on
    eyewitness information about Meek Nadeko.
[16:51] ---
    But if things went wrong
    and he's facing God Nadeko alone,
[16:55] ---
    he might not leave unscathed.
[16:57] ---
    Oh, but if he were to encounter
    Meek Nadeko,
[17:01] ---
    and if God Nadeko and Meek Nadeko
    made an alliance,
[17:04] ---
    it ultimately means the same thing?
[17:06] ---
    That's quite the troublesome matter.
[17:09] ---
    But in a way, at this juncture, you could say
    the situation has become quite simple.

[17:15] ---
    If they're going to act
    in solidarity, we can, too.

[17:19] ---
    From here, it's a team battle.
[17:21] ---
    Well, team battles
    have their pros and cons, too.
[17:25] ---
    With Meek Nadeko falling under
    God Nadeko's leadership,
[17:29] ---
    there's a possibility
    that she'll evolve as a shikigami.
[17:34] ---
    Evolve?
[17:34] OS
    EVOLVE
    (SHINKA)
[17:35] ---
    Deify, maybe.
[17:35] OS
    DEIFY
    (SHINKA)
[17:37] ---
    In the worst case scenario,
    we might have to face two God Nadekos.
[17:43] ---
    But Ononoki...
[17:45] ---
    What about the reverse?
[17:46] ---
    Changing God Nadeko into Meek Nadeko
    or Flirty Nadeko is not impossible, right?
[17:52] ---
    Well, if you bring a con artist or something,
    that's not impossible.
[17:56] ---
    Seeking the help of Mr. Kaiki
    or other specialists in itself is okay, right?
[18:02] ---
    Like contacting Ms. Gaen, their boss.
[18:06] ---
    There are two reasons
    why I don't want to do that.
[18:09] ---
    One is because my failure
    will come into light.
[18:13] ---
    Another is because they might
    dispose of you, shikigami and all.
[18:21] ---
    But if the number of gods
    increased to two,
[18:24] ---
    we surely wouldn't be able
    to handle them anymore.
[18:27] ---
    So we should settle the score before that.
[18:30] ---
    Both God Nadeko and Meek Nadeko
    fled from here after they took you apart, right?
[18:36] ---
    Right.
[18:37] ---
    Not so much fleeing, but going over
    to kill you next after they dealt with me.
[18:43] ---
    That means if I kept waiting here,
[18:46] ---
    they'll eventually show up
    in search of me, right?
[18:51] ---
    If you want to play the long game,
    that would be fine.
[18:54] ---
    But fearing the risks of Meek Nadeko
    evolving into God Nadeko,
[18:58] ---
    we should stay on their pursuit.
[19:01] ---
    You're right.
[19:02] OS
    NORTH SHIRAHEBI SHRINE
[19:03] ---
    But once again,
    the two shikigami's locations are unknown.
[19:07] ---
    What kind of approach should we take
    to look for them?
[19:11] ---
    Oh, I didn't just take
    a blind hit and get dismantled.
[19:16] ---
    Even though I failed, I was able
    to deal my hand in a certain way.
[19:20] ---
    Your hand?
[19:21] OS
    WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY THAT?
[19:23] OS
    HEAD
    NECK
    SHOULDER SHOULDER
    ARM CHEST ARM
[19:24] ---
    Once this sticks together,
    I'll be done fixing you up.
[19:27] ---
    Huh?
[19:28] ---
    Of all the parts I gathered,
[19:30] ---
    I can't find the part of your right arm
    past your wrist?
[19:34] ---
    I glued my right hand
    to God Nadeko's back.
[19:38] ---
    I literally "dealt my hand" to her.
[19:41] ---
    So no matter where she lurks, like a snake,
    I'll always know her whereabouts.
[19:50] ---
    Looks like we survived
    by the skin of our teeth.

[19:56] ---
    For now, can you make me an impromptu
    artificial hand with the dirt around here?
[20:05] ---
    Oh, by the way, Ononoki.
[20:08] ---
    What is it?
[20:09] ---
    Um, is the new god inside the shrine?
[20:13] ---
    It was only in name, but as the predecessor,
    I thought I should at least say hello.
[20:19] ---
    No, she's not here right now.
[20:22] ---
    Because of her origins, she's a god
    who likes to go out on walks.
[20:26] ---
    It was great timing that she wasn't here.
[20:28] ---
    If they clashed in a bad way, God Nadeko
    may have taken back the divinity from her.
[20:34] ---
    But is it all right for her
    to be strolling around?
[20:37] ---
    It doesn't have to be here.
[20:38] ---
    There's a chance for her to encounter
    God Nadeko somewhere in town, right?
[20:42] ---
    Right. Ideally, we'd like to put
    the new god under protection first.
[20:49] ---
    Can we meet up with the strolling god
[20:52] ---
    and have her help us out
    in collecting the shikigami?
[20:56] ---
    From the sounds of it, it's not like
    you're not acquaintances with this god, right?
[20:57] OS
    GOD
[21:01] ---
    As you guessed,
    it's not like I don't know her.
[21:04] ---
    But that's more the reason why relying
    on a god for this case may lead to trouble later.
[21:11] ---
    This isn't cleaning up
    after the predecessor.
[21:13] ---
    This is cleaning up after ourselves.
[21:16] ---
    But if we were to receive help
    with no price to pay,
[21:19] ---
    we might lessen the trust from the god.
[21:22] ---
    It's only natural for us to help her,
[21:25] ---
    but for her to help us
    would mean she favors us.
[21:31] ---
    Okay. It's done. A right hand.
[21:34] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[21:36] ---
    So, your real hand that's holding onto
    God Nadeko's back. Where is it right now?
[21:43] ---
    It's a hand.
[21:43] OS
    HAND
[21:45] OS
    EYE EYE
[21:45] ---
    It's not an eye,
    so I don't know the location.
[21:47] ---
    NORTH
    WEST EAST
    SOUTH
[21:48] ---
    What I do know is just a direction,
    like pointing toward it.
[21:51] ---
    I see.
[21:53] ---
    There's no doubt that
    they're shikigami you created.
[21:57] ---
    They won't stray far
    from your usual daily life zone.
[22:01] ---
    Until they take over you.
[22:04] ---
    Oof.
[22:06] ---
    Ononoki is back!
[22:09] ---
    Thanks to you.
[22:10] ---
    But my right hand is just in form.
[22:13] ---
    There's no doubt I'm unstable
    in all sorts of places.
[22:16] ---
    Thus, it's best if I refrained from
    using Unlimited Rulebook as much as possible.
[22:22] ---
    I'd say I can only use it once.
[22:23] ---
    Only once, huh?
[22:25] ---
    Even though we're still facing two of them?
[22:28] ---
    Nothing would be better
    than blowing away both of them at once.
[22:33] ---
    But as long as God Nadeko
    is using Meek Nadeko as a decoy,
[22:37] ---
    I'd guess that would be difficult.
[22:39] ---
    So Nadeko Sengoku.
[22:41] ---
    From this point,
    I have to rely on your bravery.
[22:47] ---
    I'm better off sticking to a support role.
[22:49] ---
    Huh? Th-That's impossible.
[22:52] ---
    Why? You already have the accomplishment
    of collecting two shikigami already.
[22:58] ---
    Until now, I was facing them one at a time,
    so I was able to make something of it.
[23:03] ---
    Even without God Nadeko being a god,
[23:06] ---
    simultaneously facing two shikigami
    as enemies by myself...
[23:12] ---
    Come now.
    What are you talking about?
[23:14] ---
    You're not alone at all.
[23:18] ---
    Flirty Nadeko and Wrath Nadeko.
[23:21] ---
    You sealed away two shikigami
[23:24] ---
    and exorcized them.
[23:27] ---
    Now, you are worth three Nadekos...
[23:31] ---
    Current Nadeko.
[23:35] ---
    UNHAPPY?
    A troubled human child
[23:37] ---
    UNLUCKY?
    For the inhumane
[23:38] ---
    BE HAPPY!
    Aim timelessly
[23:40] ---
    Because you're alive
[23:42] ---
    A past that you looked away from too
[23:43] ---
    A boring future too
[23:45] ---
    Counseling
[23:46] ---
    Oh man
[23:47] ---
    All the times and places
    Peace, peace
[23:48] ---
    UNHAPPY?
[23:50] ---
    UNLUCKY?
[23:52] ---
    BE HAPPY!
[23:53] ---
    UNDEAD
[24:01] ---
    Hey, why
[24:03] ---
    Do I somehow feel like I'm fighting?
[24:05] ---
    I can't touch and don't want to touch
[24:07] ---
    Myself, myself, myself,
    and myself from the past
[24:08] ---
    I've been dead for a long time now
[24:10] ---
    I fight with a transparent ghost
[24:12] ---
    Deep in a childish and painful memory
[24:15] ---
    Disappointed? It's gone
[24:17] ---
    Oh? You like that better? That's ironic
[24:18] ---
    Am I, as I am now, what's transparent?
[24:22] ---
    Nonsense
    A label that doesn't disappear
[24:23] ---
    Yes! It's basically a complex
[24:25] ---
    You seem to be possessed
[24:27] ---
    The old me
[24:29] ---
    That's wrapped up and
    won't leave
[24:34] ---
    UNDEAD
[24:34] ---
    I'm not dead yet
[24:36] ---
    A chain of you and you
[24:38] ---
    To be alive is to keep changing
[24:41] ---
    Don't be satisfied
    With unhappiness
[24:45] ---
    You're a coward if you don't try to be happy
[24:49] ---
    This world and this world are
    A strange, strange fantasy
[24:52] ---
    Will a demon appear next or will a snake?
[24:55] ---
    The story finally begins after meeting
[24:58] ---
    Is it a human or monster?
[25:00] ---
    Returning to the subject at hand
    Peace, peace
