**[00:00] ---**
Let's remember what happened that Golden Week where
Tsubasa Hanekawa and I played around to our hearts' content.
It's a recent and bitter memory. Somewhere it is
a bittersweet one, but I wish I was able to forget
about it even if that wasn't possible, I wish it never happened.
Let's remember those nine days that glimmered in gold.
In regards to timing, it was my second year in high
school, going into the third year, two weeks of
spring vacation, meaning it was a month after
that hell I experienced. It was that time. She was
bewitched by a cat. A cat. A carnivorous feline
mammal. So, since Golden Week, I can't stand cats
anymore. I'm scared of cats. That's right. As I am
afraid of Tsubasa Hanekawa. Now, please listen
to the story about the dream I had last night.
**[00:03] ---**
APRIL 29TH, SATURDAY, MORNING
**[00:08] ---**
Why are you falling back asleep?
**[00:15] ---**
Die.
**[00:19] ---**
T-Tsukihi, what are you doing!
Trying to kill your brother?
**[00:22] ---**
Big brothers who just
fall asleep again should die.
**[00:27] ---**
I don't get why you'd go back
to sleep after Karen and I woke you up.
**[00:31] ---**
You should die!
You should die! You should die!
**[00:35] ---**
Your character setup is
messed up from the start!
**[00:38] ---**
Apparently my personality
isn't set like everyone else's.
**[00:43] ---**
I'm attempting to be
"yandere (sick-dere)."
**[00:44] ---**
More like a lunatic than "yandere"!
**[00:49] ---**
Man, Golden Week starts today.
Not even one good thing's happened.
**[00:54] ---**
You're so negative from day one.
**[00:57] ---**
It's been less than nine hours
since Golden Week started!
**[01:01] ---**
Oh yeah.
**[01:02] ---**
Let's talk about love, Tsukihi-chan.
**[01:05] ---**
Love?
**[01:19] ---**
In the blackest darkness
**[01:19] ---**
Kuroi yami no naka
**[01:25] ---**
my first emotion
**[01:25] ---**
sotto saiteita
**[01:31] ---**
was blooming quietly
**[01:31] ---**
Hajimete no kokoro
**[01:36] ---**
I’m sure you don’t know that
**[01:36] ---**
Kimi wa kitto shiranai
**[01:42] ---**
Although I can’t grab your hands
**[01:42] ---**
Sashinobete kureta te wo
**[01:48] ---**
that are reaching out to me
**[01:48] ---**
Tsukamezu ni iru watashi wa
**[01:54] ---**
Just a little more
**[01:54] ---**
Ato sukoshi mou sukoshi
**[02:00] ---**
I am longing for more of you
**[02:00] ---**
Kimi ni motto motomete iru
**[02:06] ---**
That is a ray of light
**[02:06] ---**
Sore wa hitosuji no hikari
**[02:16] ---**
I don’t want to know yet
**[02:16] ---**
Kokoro no yukue wo
**[02:21] ---**
where my heart is heading
**[02:21] ---**
ima wa mada shiritaku nai
***SIGN*** Episode 1 Tsubasa Family
**[02:39] ---**
SIT UP
**[02:40] ---**
So what kind of love are
we talking about, Big Brother?
**[02:44] ---**
You have a boyfriend
in middle school.
**[02:46] ---**
You've probably been asked
by many friends for love advice.
**[02:50] ---**
A veteran such as yourself
is the only one I can ask.
**[02:55] ---**
The truth is there's a girl in class
that I'm interested in right now.
**[02:59] ---**
I may be showing signs of interest in
a female classmate since my class changed.
**[03:05] ---**
What!
**[03:06] ---**
Is it that surprising?
**[03:07] ---**
Of course!
**[03:09] ---**
It's more than a surprise!
This is a bombshell!
**[03:12] ---**
IT'LL WEAKEN ME AS A HUMAN (COLOR ART WORK)
**[03:12] ---**
"Making friends will
weaken me as a human."
**[03:15] ---**
You used to say horrible things
like that, and now you like someone?
**[03:20] ---**
This is as shocking as if a dog spoke!
**[03:23] ---**
Don't jump the gun!
**[03:24] ---**
It's just on my mind. And it's still a "maybe"
or "it could be," so it hasn't been settled.
**[03:30] ---**
Huh?
**[03:31] ---**
That's why I'm consulting
you even though I don't want to.
**[03:35] ---**
Say there's a person of the opposite sex.
How do you know if you like them or not?
**[03:42] ---**
Um, sorry, Big Brother. What was
it again? Could you repeat it?
**[03:47] ---**
What, you didn't hear?
Listen carefully now.
**[03:51] ---**
How do you decide if you like
a person as a significant other?
**[03:55] ---**
In other words,
with feelings towards others,
**[03:56] ---**
HATE NORM LIKE
**[03:58] ---**
at what point is it normal
and at what point is it love?
**[04:03] ---**
Comebacks are usually
your thing and not mine, but...
**[04:09] ---**
"I'm not sure if this feeling is love," huh?
**[04:13] ---**
What are you, a maiden in love? Sit up!
**[04:15] ---**
SIT UP
**[04:16] ---**
Explain it from the beginning,
you bastard of a big brother.
**[04:21] ---**
Well, um, I can't really
go into specifics, but...
**[04:26] ---**
Well, let's say the subject is H-san.
**[04:29] ---**
H-san? That's pretty specific.
**[04:32] ---**
We joined the same class this month.
**[04:35] ---**
FLASHBACK
**[04:37] ---**
I realized I was
thinking a lot about H-san.
**[04:41] ---**
H-san
**[04:43] ---**
Not just thinking...
**[04:44] ---**
During class, if my vision swims
from the board, I look in her direction.
**[04:50] ---**
Not just in school.
**[04:52] ---**
On my way to and from home,
I kind of look for H-san too.
**[04:57] ---**
When I go to the bookstore, I think...
**[05:00] ---**
"It's a small town,
so I might run into her."
**[05:03] ---**
When I read the book I bought there, I think to
myself, "Ah, I think H-san would like that sentence."
**[05:11] ---**
Even if I want to buy naughty books, I think,
"H-san would hate me if I buy this..."
**[05:16] ---**
...and I put the book
right back on the shelf.
**[05:20] ---**
Big Brother, you're telling me too much.
I don't want to invade your privacy.
**[05:25] ---**
Or rather, I don't want to hear about
you hesitating to buy naughty books.
**[05:29] ---**
Actually, Big Brother...
**[05:31] ---**
What?
**[05:31] ---**
That's love.
**[05:32] ---**
You never know.
**[05:34] ---**
I've never fallen
in love in the first place.
**[05:37] ---**
Never?
**[05:38] ---**
You could say never.
**[05:41] ---**
SIT UP
**[05:42] ---**
I want to hear your
experience for reference.
**[05:46] ---**
Your boyfriend, um...
**[05:48] ---**
Rousokuzawa-kun, right?
**[05:49] ---**
You remembered.
**[05:51] ---**
Just his name.
**[05:52] ---**
For you... When... At what point...
**[05:55] ---**
...did you figure out you liked him?
**[05:58] ---**
That's what I really want to know.
**[06:01] ---**
That's, well...
**[06:04] ---**
...just a feeling.
**[06:06] ---**
Feeling?
**[06:07] ---**
Yup. Fuzzy. Vague.
**[06:09] ---**
That's okay?
**[06:10] ---**
It's okay. It's just like that.
**[06:13] ---**
Then let's put aside
at what point it started.
**[06:16] ---**
Tell me the reasons you like him.
**[06:19] ---**
ROUSOKUZAWA
**[06:20] ---**
Why'd you start liking Rousokuzawa-kun?
**[06:23] ---**
That's a feeling too.
**[06:25] ---**
But it's really a feeling.
**[06:27] ---**
It's really just a feeling, a feeling, a feeling.
**[06:27] ---**
JUST A FEELING
**[06:31] ---**
I thought, "Maybe I like him."
I felt, "Maybe I like him."
**[06:35] ---**
And I realized.
**[06:36] ---**
Just like that.
**[06:38] ---**
It's more nuanced, no?
**[06:40] ---**
I can come up with
various reasons to like him too.
**[06:44] ---**
Like he's cool, nice, tall, rich...
**[06:51] ---**
Those are all possible reasons,
but they're all lies.
**[06:57] ---**
I guess you can call it pretense to
comprehend the basis of your feelings.
**[07:01] ---**
It's more sophistry than rationalization.
**[07:04] ---**
Depending on that conclusion,
it's like putting up a ladder.
**[07:09] ---**
Ladder...
**[07:10] ---**
Maybe not a ladder, but a rocket?
Yeah, it's like making a rocket.
**[07:16] ---**
If you want to be with them
all the time, that's already love.
**[07:22] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[07:23] ---**
This guy. Myself, one Araragi Koyomi-kun,
**[07:28] ---**
at the young age of 18,
may have finally fallen in love.
**[07:32] ---**
No! You should jump to
the conclusion and not say "may have."
**[07:35] ---**
JUST JUMP TO THE CONCLUSION!
**[07:36] ---**
It's possible!
**[07:37] ---**
IT'S POSSIBLE!
**[07:38] ---**
It's possible...
**[07:38] ---**
IT'S POSSIBLE...
**[07:40] ---**
You're in love! It's decided!
**[07:43] ---**
It's been decided?
**[07:44] ---**
Yup! The plans aren't undecided!
**[07:47] ---**
Big Brother, you like H-san.
I've decided.
**[07:51] ---**
I guess it's inevitable.
**[07:54] ---**
I see.
**[07:55] ---**
I'm over it! Let me thank you.
**[07:58] ---**
THANKFUL
**[07:58] ---**
Thanks, Tsukihi-chan.
**[08:00] ---**
No no no...
It's pretty big, but not that big!
**[08:05] ---**
Well, with all that said, Big Brother...
**[08:08] ---**
People falling in love is as
common as a dog barking.
**[08:13] ---**
So don't think too much about it.
**[08:15] ---**
I see. It's common?
**[08:17] ---**
Yeah, it's normal.
**[08:18] ---**
Having a girl you're interested in class is normal.
**[08:21] ---**
NORMAL
**[08:21] ---**
Normal!
**[08:22] ---**
Looking at her more
than the board is normal.
**[08:25] ---**
NORMAL
**[08:25] ---**
Normal!
**[08:26] ---**
Looking for her on my way to and from home,
hoping to run into her by chance...
**[08:31] ---**
...and imagining things
while buying books...
**[08:34] ---**
NORMAL
**[08:34] ---**
Normal!
**[08:35] ---**
Thinking I want to grab her breasts too...
**[08:37] ---**
No.
**[08:37] ---**
WRONG
**[08:42] ---**
Tsukihi-chan, what are you saying?
**[08:45] ---**
Oh, my viewpoint?
**[08:47] ---**
Maybe you should sit up too.
**[08:49] ---**
Yes, as you say.
**[08:51] ---**
SIT UP
**[08:52] ---**
Well...
**[08:53] ---**
So H-san's chest is uncommonly appealing,
so I think I want to grab it and fondle it, see?
**[08:58] ---**
WANT TO GRAB, WANT TO FONDLE
**[08:59] ---**
That's what I'm saying.
**[09:01] ---**
Sorry to interrupt, Big Brother.
**[09:03] ---**
Would you kindly not use blunt words
like "grab" or "fondle" please?
**[09:09] ---**
I see. Then the only
word I can use is touch.
**[09:12] ---**
It's not blunt anymore
and got cuter, but...
**[09:15] ---**
So in other words!
**[09:17] ---**
In short, I realized that I'm always
thinking about touching H-san's breasts.
**[09:23] ---**
That's love, right?
**[09:24] ---**
No.
**[09:24] ---**
WRONG
**[09:25] ---**
But you wouldn't think you'd want to touch
the breasts of someone you don't like.
**[09:30] ---**
That's why I think
this feeling is love.
**[09:33] ---**
Big Brother, it's a natural emotion
for guys to want to touch girls' breasts.
**[09:39] ---**
So don't worry about that. Gosh.
**[09:43] ---**
Gosh, gosh.
**[09:44] ---**
What?
**[09:45] ---**
We should test it.
**[09:47] ---**
Here, try touching mine.
**[09:48] ---**
IN SILENCE.
WITH NO EXPRESSION.
SNAP JUDGMENT, TOUCH ON THE SPOT.
**[09:49] ---**
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
**[09:58] ---**
TOUCH INTO CATCH
**[10:00] ---**
That hurts!
**[10:01] ---**
RED SCENE
**[10:02] ---**
I said it hurts!
Let go! Let go! Let go I said!
**[10:07] ---**
Oh gosh! You're touching
your little sister's boobs too much!
**[10:11] ---**
Boob Advisory
Oh gosh! You're touching your little sister's boobs too much!
**[10:11] ---**
More like, what were you really expecting?
**[10:15] ---**
First of all, how did you think it'd
go as you offered your breasts to me?
**[10:20] ---**
Well, I guess I was
joking or just testing.
**[10:24] ---**
I assumed you'd say disinterestedly,
"I have no interest in your breasts."
**[10:30] ---**
And as you expressed
your proper logic...
**[10:34] ---**
...my comeback would be,
"Because it's your sister's breasts, right?"
**[10:38] ---**
That'd be the perfect rally scene.
**[10:41] ---**
So, in conclusion, what do you mean?
**[10:43] ---**
Mean?
**[10:45] ---**
What kind of conclusion
would you derive from this test?
**[10:49] ---**
Well...
**[10:51] ---**
Big Brother.
**[10:52] ---**
Maybe you're frustrated?
**[10:55] ---**
No way!
**[10:56] ---**
You said before...
**[10:58] ---**
"I can't buy naughty books! I can't buy
naughty books! I can't buy naughty books!" Right?
**[11:04] ---**
I didn't say it three times.
**[11:05] ---**
That's backfiring on you! A complete backfire!
**[11:09] ---**
You mistook sexual desire for love...
**[11:12] ---**
...and started an inflation spiral
of frustration from there!
**[11:16] ---**
My goodness! An inflation spiral...
**[11:19] ---**
Are you saying such a 007-like
development is occurring in my brain?
**[11:25] ---**
Yeah, that's why you indiscriminately
touched your sister's breasts.
**[11:29] ---**
I touched them, huh?
Those breasts that are like touch panels...
**[11:33] ---**
Touch panels are flat!
**[11:36] ---**
*I see. Frustration, huh?*
**[11:38] ---**
*Now that she mentions it, I can't disagree.*
**[11:41] ---**
*Actually, I feel that's exactly it.*
**[11:44] ---**
TSUKIHI: "THAT WAS GOOD, RIGHT?"
KOYOMI: "IT WASN'T BAD."
**[11:45] ---**
I see. That's what it was.
**[11:47] ---**
Yeah, close one, Big Brother.
**[11:50] ---**
You almost mistakenly thought
you were in love with a classmate
**[11:54] ---**
just because her breasts were appealing.
**[11:57] ---**
I get it. So this is the real
"Don't get me wrong!" right?
**[12:02] ---**
In this situation,
it's a compelling request from H-san.
**[12:07] ---**
So now that the reason is clear,
next is the counterplan.
**[12:12] ---**
THAT'S RIGHT
**[12:12] ---**
If you ignore frustration,
it'll be a disaster.
**[12:15] ---**
SHOULD WE SAY HE'S LUCKY TO REALIZE
THE TRUTH BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE
**[12:15] ---**
We have to save H-san
from my evil hands.
**[12:17] ---**
THAT'S RIGHT
**[12:18] ---**
As a makeshift remedy, I'll get relief by grabbing
Karen-chan's boobs or yours when I get the urge.
**[12:24] ---**
Practicing that is off-limits!
**[12:26] ---**
Come on, you Fire Sisters are
fighters for justice, right?
**[12:31] ---**
Gladly sacrifice yourselves for me.
**[12:33] ---**
I think sacrificing you
would be justice.
**[12:37] ---**
Like I'd put up with you
grabbing our boobs to pass the time.
**[12:41] ---**
Then what do I do?
**[12:43] ---**
I guess we have no choice.
**[12:46] ---**
Just buy a naughty book.
**[12:48] ---**
THAT'S THE CONCLUSION
**[12:48] ---**
Due to your oversight...
**[12:50] ---**
...you've been holding back for
a month because of H-san, right?
**[12:55] ---**
I bet you called it
"mind and body cleansing"
**[12:59] ---**
as you gathered, bundled,
and threw out your collection.
**[13:02] ---**
H-How'd you know?
**[13:03] ---**
That has further
increased your frustration.
**[13:07] ---**
So just go buy new naughty
books and solve this problem!
**[13:14] ---**
Strike while the iron's hot, Big Brother!
**[13:17] ---**
The bookstore should be opening soon,
so why don't you go buy it now?
**[13:21] ---**
I'm home!
**[13:23] ---**
Welcome home.
**[13:30] ---**
Huh? What? It's raining outside?
I'm about to go out.
**[13:35] ---**
No, it's not raining. It's a sunny day,
fitting for the first day of Golden Week.
**[13:41] ---**
Huh? Then why
are you soaking wet?
**[13:45] ---**
No, this is sweat.
**[13:48] ---**
That's all sweat?
Are you serious?
**[13:52] ---**
Well, I don't jog that much, so I didn't know
when to quit. It seems my pace is messed up.
**[14:00] ---**
It was pretty long, 42.195 km.
**[14:04] ---**
You ran a full marathon?
**[14:07] ---**
I was celebrating the start of Golden Week,
and my theme was an Olympic-torch runner.
**[14:12] ---**
Olympic-torch runners
don't run 42.195 km!
**[14:16] ---**
I'm exhausted! More like
I'm thirsty. Water! Water!
**[14:25] ---**
Well, I should go take a shower.
**[14:29] ---**
Hey, Karen-chan.
**[14:30] ---**
What is it?
**[14:32] ---**
I want you to tell me something.
**[14:34] ---**
What?
**[14:35] ---**
Finally wanna pursue karate?
**[14:38] ---**
No, what I want you to tell me
isn't some secret technique.
**[14:42] ---**
How do you decide if you've fallen in love
or if you like a certain person or not?
**[14:48] ---**
What? Oh, advice on love?
**[14:52] ---**
When you look at their face
and feel you want to bear their child...
**[14:56] ---**
...doesn't that mean you like them?
**[15:02] ---**
TAXI
**[15:22] ---**
Hey, Araragi-kun!
**[15:24] ---**
Yeah! How are you doing?
**[15:28] ---**
Hey. Yeah, I'm doing good...
**[15:33] ---**
FAIL
**[15:37] ---**
Um...
**[15:41] ---**
Well, Araragi-kun...
**[15:42] ---**
Take this!
**[15:50] ---**
RED SCENE
**[15:57] ---**
Flipping skirts as a high schooler...
What are you thinking, Araragi-kun?
**[16:02] ---**
Hey, Hanekawa.
**[16:04] ---**
I know.
**[16:06] ---**
Here.
**[16:07] ---**
You're kind, Araragi-kun.
**[16:12] ---**
A kind and good person.
**[16:15] ---**
Those are the traits I like about you, Araragi-kun.
**[16:20] ---**
Let's walk a little.
**[16:26] ---**
Araragi-kun, you have little sisters, right?
**[16:30] ---**
Yeah...
**[16:33] ---**
Two sisters I'd rather not have.
**[16:35] ---**
Rather not have?
**[16:36] ---**
Even though I say that,
they're family, so I'm not serious.
**[16:41] ---**
But it is true they hassle me a lot.
**[16:44] ---**
Although I'm sure
I hassle them at times too.
**[16:50] ---**
Meaning it's mutual?
That's good. Like family.
**[16:53] ---**
Family?
**[16:54] ---**
Yeah, family.
**[16:55] ---**
Did I tell you I'm an only child?
**[16:58] ---**
No, I don't think so.
**[17:00] ---**
Well, Araragi-kun, I don't
have such a thing as family.
**[17:06] ---**
Come on, Hanekawa. You've just got
no siblings. "No family" is too much.
**[17:11] ---**
You have a father, mother,
grandfather, grandmother...
**[17:14] ---**
I don't.
**[17:15] ---**
No father, no mother.
I don't have anyone.
**[17:19] ---**
No one.
**[17:24] ---**
The thing is, the second wife of my real
mother's husband is my current mother.
**[17:29] ---**
And her second husband
is my current father.
**[17:34] ---**
In short, both of your current parents
are not your biological parents.
**[17:38] ---**
That's right. I have no blood
relation to the parents I live with.
**[17:46] ---**
Bluntly put, they're complete strangers.
**[17:50] ---**
We're total strangers
with no blood relation.
**[17:53] ---**
I'm sure vampires would
laugh if they heard that.
**[17:58] ---**
It's not funny...
**[18:00] ---**
I used to think you could still be family
even without any blood relation.
**[18:06] ---**
I used to think
I should try hard to get along.
**[18:10] ---**
It's pretty impossible... Seriously.
**[18:14] ---**
Impossible and boring.
**[18:18] ---**
Your face... Who did that?
**[18:21] ---**
Why do you ask that?
**[18:23] ---**
Araragi-kun, why would you ask that?
**[18:26] ---**
Because...
**[18:28] ---**
Because I'm your friend.
**[18:33] ---**
Friend...
**[18:36] ---**
I'm not sure, but aren't friends supposed
to listen to each other in situations like this?
**[18:42] ---**
I see. I guess that's right.
**[18:45] ---**
Promise not to tell anyone?
**[18:47] ---**
Yeah, of course.
**[18:49] ---**
No one. Seriously, not a soul.
Not even your sisters.
**[18:53] ---**
Not even your family.
**[18:55] ---**
I promise.
**[19:01] ---**
My father hit me this morning.
**[19:04] ---**
He hit you? That's...
**[19:06] ---**
But think about it, Araragi-kun.
**[19:10] ---**
If you were in your 40s and some 17-year-old
child rambled on like they knew everything...
**[19:18] ---**
...wouldn't you get angry and lose it?
Wouldn't that be unavoidable?
**[19:25] ---**
*What's with this masochistic wording?*
**[19:30] ---**
*A parent that's not a parent...
That hits his daughter...*
**[19:34] ---**
*She's trying to protect him?*
**[19:36] ---**
*As a friend, that Hanekawa...*
**[19:41] ---**
AS A FRIEND
**[19:41] ---**
*...simply creeped me out.*
**[19:44] ---**
Abuse is unavoidable? What are
you saying! Are you okay saying that?
**[19:50] ---**
Isn't that unforgivable to you?
**[19:52] ---**
Who cares?
**[19:53] ---**
If it's once.
**[19:56] ---**
Araragi-kun, you promised.
**[19:59] ---**
Araragi-kun, you promised.
**[20:02] ---**
You promised me
that you wouldn't tell anyone.
**[20:06] ---**
B-But that promise...
That's not a promise I can keep...
**[20:11] ---**
Please, Araragi-kun!
**[20:13] ---**
Please don't tell anyone about this!
**[20:16] ---**
Hanekawa...
**[20:18] ---**
But I...
**[20:20] ---**
Please don't tell anyone about this.
If you keep quiet, I'll do anything!
**[20:25] ---**
Seriously?
**[20:26] ---**
You'll do anything for me? Yes!
**[20:29] ---**
A-Araragi-kun?
**[20:30] ---**
What to do!
**[20:32] ---**
What should I get her to do?
**[20:34] ---**
What would be best?
**[20:37] ---**
No!
**[20:38] ---**
Wait! Don't panic!
**[20:40] ---**
Don't get carried away!
Stay cool at times like this. Stay dignified!
**[20:45] ---**
Use this unprecedented
chance to its fullest!
**[20:48] ---**
Wh-What? That's your reaction?
This is that type of scene?
**[20:52] ---**
It's not the type of scene where
you're moved by my sincerity
**[20:56] ---**
and promise silence on the matter?
**[20:59] ---**
Sincerity? What's that? Don't care!
**[21:01] ---**
"TSUBASA-SENSEI WILL GRANT ARARAGI-KUN
WHATEVER WISH HE REQUESTS"
**[21:01] ---**
Anything, huh?
**[21:02] ---**
WHO'S TSUBASA-SENSEI?
**[21:03] ---**
But when I'm asked, I can't decide.
**[21:05] ---**
WHILE LOOKING UP PATTERNS ON LINES FOR
HANEKAWA TO SAY IF SHE WAS PLAYING THE ROLE
OF A FEMALE TEACHER, IT JUST SLIPPED OUT
**[21:06] ---**
Damn! My indecisiveness torments me.
**[21:09] ---**
If I could make snap decisions at
times like this, I'd be the alpha male.
**[21:14] ---**
No. You'd be the lowest of males.
**[21:17] ---**
Hey, Araragi-kun, do you remember the content
of the dark, serious conversation from before?
**[21:23] ---**
I don't.
**[21:24] ---**
You don't, huh?
**[21:25] ---**
Who's Araragi?
**[21:26] ---**
You forgot your own name.
**[21:29] ---**
Do anything, huh?
**[21:31] ---**
But seriously,
what should I have her do?
**[21:34] ---**
There are too many options.
I can't decide!
**[21:38] ---**
No! This is actually a short essay!
I need to make a composition!
**[21:44] ---**
Wait!
**[21:45] ---**
Speaking of which, you didn't limit
the number of wishes to be granted!
**[21:50] ---**
In other words, depending on
how I take what she said,
**[21:54] ---**
that means she'll grant me
infinite wishes!
**[21:56] ---**
Just one!
**[21:58] ---**
I'll do one thing you ask of me.
**[22:01] ---**
Damn! I made her clarify it.
**[22:03] ---**
I feel a migraine coming on.
**[22:06] ---**
For now, let's go
somewhere private, Hanekawa.
**[22:11] ---**
Okay, I understand.
**[22:14] ---**
It's not like I have
anywhere else to be.
**[22:17] ---**
*I brought Hanekawa to a nearby thicket.*
**[22:19] ---**
*I brought Hanekawa to a nearby thicket.*
**[22:21] ---**
*I brought Hanekawa to a nearby thicket.*
**[22:24] ---**
What is it, Araragi-kun?
You're keeping me hanging.
**[22:27] ---**
Or are you not coming up with anything?
**[22:30] ---**
Or do you want to stare at me as if
you're licking my whole body. Is that it?
**[22:35] ---**
Like ogling?
**[22:37] ---**
Hanekawa.
**[22:38] ---**
What?
**[22:39] ---**
I don't want to stare at you
as if I'm licking your whole body.
**[22:44] ---**
I...
**[22:46] ---**
That wound under your
gauze from getting hit...
**[22:50] ---**
...I want to lick it.
**[23:11] ---**
Even so, we may laugh sensibly
**[23:11] ---**

**[23:17] ---**
as if we planned in advance
**[23:17] ---**

without making excuse
for any awkwardness

until you wish for something

If I said it’s not too late,
do I sound like I’m lying?

It’s not that I want to be saved

**[23:56] ---**
It’s not that I want to be rewarded
**[23:56] ---**

All I want is to scream, broken as I am

**[24:24] ---**
*My blood and saliva
heals wounds due to*
**[24:28] ---**
*some aftereffects from
when I was a vampire.*
**[24:30] ---**
*As a side note...*
**[24:32] ---**
*...chicken that I am, I didn't actually
have the courage to lick her face...*
**[24:37] ---**
*...so my wholesome act was to prick
my finger with the safety pin on her bag...*
**[24:43] ---**
*...and rub some blood on her.*
**[24:45] ---**
Thanks.
**[24:47] ---**
Keep the gauze on.
Wounds don't normally heal this fast.
**[24:51] ---**
Will my parents be suspicious?
**[24:55] ---**
They won't.
**[24:57] ---**
They're not like that.
**[24:59] ---**
Even if I chopped my hair off,
they wouldn't notice.
**[25:04] ---**
They most likely don't
even remember my face.
**[25:11] ---**
Oh, Big Brother, you're back early.
**[25:16] ---**
Hey, don't ignore me. At least
tell your cute little sister, "I'm home."
**[25:21] ---**
You finish your shopping?
**[25:23] ---**
Shopping?
**[25:25] ---**
No, shopping...
**[25:27] ---**
*...I didn't do any.*
**[25:29] ---**
*Far from releasing my frustration,
a glum feeling just keeps growing.*
**[25:35] ---**
*The feeling of desire is heavy...*
**[25:38] ---**
*It just builds up.*
**[25:43] ---**
Time for a preview hallucination.
**[25:45] ---**
There is a creature
called a "water bear."
**[25:47] ---**
Instead of sleeping in the winter, they go into
"cold sleep" and are considered to be immortal.
**[25:52] ---**
In other words, "cryptobiosis."
**[25:55] ---**
They can survive in the most
extreme of environments,
**[25:58] ---**
but their weakness is that
they'd die easily if they are crushed.
**[26:01] ---**
Gee, are you a vampire or what?
**[26:04] ---**
Next episode, "Tsubasa Family, Part 2."

You're ruining your beauty.

Come on, crack a smile.
**[00:49] ---**
You look the best with a smile.

Hey, at least say,
"Thanks for the meal."

*Although she's a mere shadow of her
former self, a remnant, she's a proud vampire.*
**[02:52] ---**
*There's no way...*

*that she'd have her eyes

Paw.
**[03:51] ---**
Well then...
**[03:52] ---**
You can—
**[04:02] ---**
But this is something
I originally brought for Oshino.
**[04:08] ---**
*I feel the pressure.*
**[04:11] ---**
TIME PASSES
**[04:11] ---**
*Well, I feel like I'm being
crushed more by the guilt.*
**[04:17] ---**
*After all, the reason why this vampire girl
is living like this is because of me.*
**[04:24] ---**
*She hasn't spoken
a word since spring break.*
**[04:27] ---**
*She used to smile all the time,
but now she only shows a sulking face.*
**[04:37] ---**
*Considering what she's done
and has been doing to humans,*
**[04:42] ---**
*I know, as a human, I shouldn't
sympathize with her, but still...*
**[04:47] ---**
I get it. I'll give them all to you.
**[04:51] ---**
Now turn three times and say "woof!"
**[05:01] ---**
*I guess she still refuses to talk.*
**[05:07] ---**
You can—
**[05:13] ---**
It's great!
This round food is super good!
**[05:16] ---**
It's totally a jewelry box
filled with sweet rings!
**[05:20] ---**
Did you just speak?
**[05:24] ---**
*Just a hallucination, huh?*
**[05:26] ---**
What are you doing, Araragi-kun?
**[05:30] ---**
Araragi-kun, don't torment
Little Miss Vampire.
**[05:34] ---**
Those actions lead to consequences.
**[05:36] ---**
I'm not.
**[05:38] ---**
I've been thinking this since spring break,
but has her mind become childish too?
**[05:45] ---**
Yeah, we can't avoid that, Araragi-kun.
**[05:49] ---**
This isn't limited to vampires.
Apparitions are made of human belief.
**[05:55] ---**
Human belief?
**[05:57] ---**
Right. Humans believe they're there,
so they exist. Those are apparitions.
**[06:02] ---**
Apparitions appear and
behave according to the environs.
**[06:08] ---**
That's what they are.
**[06:10] ---**
Now, about Little Miss Vampire.
**[06:13] ---**
The only one acknowledging
this vampire is you, Araragi-kun.
**[06:18] ---**
Strictly speaking,
Class Prez and I are too...
**[06:22] ---**
...but the one influencing
her most is you, Araragi-kun.
**[06:29] ---**
Well, it's true that I see her
as an eight-year-old.
**[06:35] ---**
But there's no way I could
have expected this image.
**[06:40] ---**
Children don't always
grow up as parents expect, right?
**[06:44] ---**
Even then, they're generally
somehow influenced by their expectations.
**[06:49] ---**
The parents' expectations?
**[06:53] ---**
*The influence of the family.*
**[06:56] ---**
I'm not meaning to preach
for you to become an honest man, but...
**[07:00] ---**
...if you're fooling around too much,
you can have a negative influence on her.
**[07:05] ---**
In addition to...
**[07:08] ---**
*In addition to...*
**[07:12] ---**
*"In addition to reducing that
proud vampire to this innocent child,*
**[07:18] ---**
*you're having a negative influence on her.
What are you thinking?" That's what he'd say.*
**[07:22] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[07:23] ---**
That aside, Araragi-kun... It came up
in the past, but how's Class Prez doing?
**[07:30] ---**
"How"? She's fine.
**[07:32] ---**
Are you sure?
**[07:36] ---**
I see. You can't say.
**[07:39] ---**
Then that means...
**[07:42] ---**
It's valid to think something you
can't speak of has happened to her, huh?
**[07:47] ---**
That worries me.
**[07:49] ---**
It's not for you to worry about.
**[07:52] ---**
It's Hanekawa's problem.
I can't meddle too much.
**[07:55] ---**
Regardless, it's something
she needs to get herself out of.
**[08:00] ---**
That's the only way
she can be saved, right?
**[08:03] ---**
Then I won't pursue.
Let's reverse my approach.
**[08:08] ---**
Tell me things
other than what you can't.
**[08:11] ---**
It's not like you can't tell me
every little thing about her, right?
**[08:15] ---**
FLASHBACK
**[08:16] ---**
*I don't know if I
explained it well or not, but...*
**[08:20] ---**
*...I told Oshino everything about
today except what I was asked not to.*
**[08:24] ---**
ARARAGI TSUKIHI
**[08:25] ---**
*From when I was
woken up by my little sister...*
**[08:27] ---**
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
**[08:28] ---**
*...to when I saw Hanekawa...*
**[08:31] ---**
TIME PASSES
**[08:31] ---**
*And after that...*
**[08:46] ---**
WOULD YOU HELP ME
**[08:47] ---**
END FLASHBACK
**[08:48] ---**
Araragi-kun, by any chance...
**[08:52] ---**
...was that a silver cat with no tail?
**[08:56] ---**
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID
**[08:58] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[08:58] ---**
I COMMEND YOU FOR ENDURING THIS LONG.
**[08:59] ---**
I THANK YOU.
**[09:00] ---**
SO, HERE'S THE REAL ISSUE.
**[09:06] ---**
The Sawari Neko.
**[09:07] ---**
SAWARI NEKO (HARMFUL CAT)
**[09:08] ---**
A carnivorous feline mammal.
**[09:11] ---**
Information on the Sawari Neko apparition
is one thing I'm collecting from this town.
**[09:17] ---**
No, wait a second, Oshino. The cat
Hanekawa and I buried wasn't an apparition.
**[09:22] ---**
It wasn't like that. It was just there.
**[09:24] ---**
Right. It's not like that.
**[09:29] ---**
I think so too...
**[09:31] ---**
under normal circumstances.
**[09:33] ---**
But, Araragi-kun, Class Prez isn't normal.
**[09:38] ---**
She's seriously dangerous.
**[09:40] ---**
Even a trivial matter like
burying a cat that's been hit by a car...
**[09:45] ---**
Bluntly, even a heartwarming
episode like this...
**[09:49] ---**
...could be a heaven-and-earth-shaking
event in her hands.
**[09:53] ---**
Not to mention
a cat is bad news.
**[09:56] ---**
To Class Prez, a Sawari Neko's dead on.
**[10:01] ---**
Oshino, then what should I do?
**[10:05] ---**
Well, Araragi-kun, we should split
into two parties to expedite things.
**[10:11] ---**
I'll go dig up
the white cat you guys buried.
**[10:15] ---**
So I need to tell you
where we buried it, right?
**[10:19] ---**
But in exchange, I'll have you
take on a very important role.
**[10:24] ---**
I said we'll split into two parties.
**[10:28] ---**
I'll have you approach Class Prez directly.
**[10:31] ---**
"D-Directly"?
**[10:34] ---**
You'll go to Class Prez's house now.
**[10:37] ---**
You'll actually meet up...
**[10:39] ---**
...and while looking at her face
and into her eyes as you talk...
**[10:44] ---**
...you'll confirm that she's okay.
**[10:50] ---**
LONELY ROLLER TACTIC
**[10:53] ---**
Jeez, this has
become a pretty big deal.
**[10:57] ---**
And how'll I see Hanekawa
at her house at this late hour?

Is that Hanekawa?

Meow!

**[11:50] ---**
H-Hanekawa?
**[11:51] ---**
Huh, who are you?
The mistress's friend or something?
**[11:57] ---**
I think I kind of remember.
You were with her when she buried me.
**[12:03] ---**
Hmph, that's perfect then, meow.
**[12:07] ---**
I don't understand it at all,
but friends help each other out, meow?
**[12:13] ---**
With that said,
I'll leave these guys for you.
**[12:23] ---**
RED SCENE
**[12:30] ---**
Um, what was it again? Oh yeah.
**[12:33] ---**
Those are my mistress's
"parents" apparently.
**[12:38] ---**
Though I don't
understand too well, meow.
**[12:42] ---**
Hey friend, dispose of them
however you like. If you like...
**[12:48] ---**
...you can kill them.
**[12:56] ---**
H-Hey!
**[12:57] ---**
Wait, Hanekawa!
**[13:02] ---**
Wait, huh?
**[13:06] ---**
Don't expect anything and everything
like that from my mistress, fool.
**[13:11] ---**
It's because you guys are that way
that my mistress is like this, meow!
**[13:24] ---**
RED SCENE
**[13:32] ---**
I-It hurts!
**[13:36] ---**
Don't scream over something like this.
**[13:40] ---**
Compared to the agony that
my mistress has endured, this level of pain...
**[13:46] ---**
...is like being
bitten by a mosquito.
**[13:49] ---**
When you say mistress...
**[13:52] ---**
*...do you mean Hanekawa?*
**[13:54] ---**
Yeah, that's right, human.
My mistress has me now.
**[13:59] ---**
So you're not needed anymore, meow.
Parents, friends, no one...
**[14:04] ---**
Even my mistress herself isn't needed.
**[14:09] ---**
W-What do you mean?
**[14:11] ---**
I'm going to set my mistress free.
Freer than anyone else, meow.
**[14:16] ---**
You know that, right?
It's something you guys couldn't do.
**[14:20] ---**
You guys only tie my mistress
down and inconvenience her.
**[14:24] ---**
RED SCENE
**[14:25] ---**
RED SCENE
**[14:26] ---**
First off, let's start with releasing her from the
stress that's equivalent to the scale of this Earth!
**[14:42] ---**
Hanekawa...
**[14:44] ---**
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
**[14:44] ---**
GIRL WHO POSSESSES
WINGS OF HETEROMORPHY
**[15:05] ---**
START UP
**[15:06] ---**
*After the Sawari Neko left,
the first thing I did...*
**[15:08] ---**
110
**[15:09] ---**
*...was clean up the mess left behind.
First was calling the ambulance.*
**[15:14] ---**
*Then, normally, to take care of blood
splattered all over a residential area...*
**[15:21] ---**
*...you'd need lots of
water and a deck brush.*
**[15:24] ---**
*But my splattered blood
had pretty much evaporated.*
**[15:29] ---**
*I wasn't surprised to see
my blood evaporating.*
**[15:32] ---**
*It was a scene I saw
many times during spring break.*
**[15:35] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[15:35] ---**
*Rather, I should have been*
**[15:38] ---**
*more suspicious as to why it took
longer than usual to evaporate.*
**[15:45] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[15:46] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[16:07] ---**
Awake now, Araragi-kun?
**[16:10] ---**
You're a pretty late sleeper.
I got tired of waiting.
**[16:13] ---**
The sun's gonna set soon.
**[16:17] ---**
I slept for over 12 hours?
**[16:19] ---**
I thought you were
just gonna die like that.
**[16:23] ---**
Hey, Oshino! Hanekawa's...
**[16:26] ---**
Yeah, I know. I heard already.
**[16:29] ---**
Class Prez transformed into a cat, right?
Our worries struck home.
**[16:34] ---**
Little Miss Vampire,
you're good now.
**[16:40] ---**
What does that mean, Oshino?
Why was she awake at this hour anyway?
**[16:46] ---**
No no, it's because your injury
was worse than I thought.
**[16:49] ---**
So I had Little Miss Vampire
help me out a little. Look.
**[16:54] ---**
You guys are connected
more than necessary.
**[16:58] ---**
Your power of recovery
is linked too.
**[17:01] ---**
Therefore, that skill will become
stronger the closer you are.
**[17:06] ---**
Thank her later.
**[17:08] ---**
But that was definitely unexpected.
**[17:11] ---**
It happened right after giving her some blood.
I thought I had more resilience.
**[17:16] ---**
No, with your power of immortality,
you should be able to endure even severe injuries.
**[17:22] ---**
You heal in seconds,
except with fatal wounds.
**[17:26] ---**
But in this situation...
**[17:29] ---**
you faced a bad opponent.
**[17:32] ---**
The compatibility more than the opponent.
The Sawari Neko was a bad match.
**[17:38] ---**
B-Bad match?
**[17:40] ---**
You've been harmed by it.
**[17:41] ---**
HARM
**[17:42] ---**
The wound from the harm
isn't just normal damage.
**[17:45] ---**
TOUCH
**[17:46] ---**
"Let sleeping cats lie," they say.
**[17:48] ---**
Um, Araragi-kun, do you
know what energy drain is?
**[17:52] ---**
Energy drain?
**[17:55] ---**
But isn't energy drain
a vampire's special characteristic?
**[18:00] ---**
Exactly. But that doesn't mean
it's just a vampire specialty.
**[18:05] ---**
So when my left arm was ripped off,
so was my power of immortality.
**[18:13] ---**
Once the Sawari Neko
touches you, you're done for.
**[18:17] ---**
That's why it's
the "touching cat."
**[18:19] ---**
But an energy drain that'll overpower
a vampire's immortality is certainly a threat.
**[18:25] ---**
Ah, no no. I shouldn't
have worded it like that, Araragi-kun.
**[18:31] ---**
When I said the compatibility
was bad, I meant with you.
**[18:36] ---**
It doesn't mean the Sawari Neko's
ability rivals a vampire's.
**[18:42] ---**
Vampires are the kings of apparitions.
**[18:45] ---**
They're the king. The top.
**[18:48] ---**
It's the same energy drain,
but a different rank.
**[18:51] ---**
Sawari Neko are small fry to vampires.
**[18:54] ---**
Small fry...
**[18:55] ---**
You just gave blood
to Little Miss Vampire...
**[18:58] ---**
...so you were a vampire to a point,
but just a human in the end.
**[19:02] ---**
You can't beat apparitions themselves.
**[19:05] ---**
Apparitions themselves...
**[19:10] ---**
I carefully dug up the little cat's grave you told
me about, but there was nothing buried there.
**[19:17] ---**
The situation has
turned for the worst.
**[19:20] ---**
Is that so...
**[19:25] ---**
Still, your wound's healing pretty well.
**[19:28] ---**
Seems the inside isn't fully connected,
but it'll heal by tomorrow at this rate.
**[19:33] ---**
Little Miss Vampire is most likely
already asleep, so thank her next time.
**[19:38] ---**
Well, it'd be bad for
you to die on her too...
**[19:43] ---**
...so it's natural for her
to stay by your side for a day.
**[19:46] ---**
Even so, I'm grateful.
**[19:49] ---**
Using me as a source of nutrition
means she's at least trying to live.
**[19:57] ---**
Yeah, that's not
what I meant, though.
**[20:01] ---**
You blockhead...
**[20:04] ---**
Well, whatever. Araragi-kun, go home
before your family gets worried.
**[20:10] ---**
Seems like your cell phone
went off numerous times in your pocket.
**[20:14] ---**
What's that feature called, vibrating?
**[20:16] ---**
146 MISSED CALLS, 209 TEXT MESSAGES
**[20:18] ---**
*They're most likely
all from Karen and Tsukihi.*
**[20:21] ---**
Unlike Class Prez,
you have a family that worries.
**[20:25] ---**
So you should go home now, Araragi-kun.
**[20:28] ---**
Stop it, Oshino.
This injury is nothing.
**[20:32] ---**
I can't just dejectedly go home
while Hanekawa's situation is like this.
**[20:37] ---**
The situation's already unfolding.
This is a job for a pro.
**[20:42] ---**
This isn't for an amateur,
let alone a minor.
**[20:46] ---**
I look like I'm fooling around all the time,
so I may not seem like it, but...
**[20:51] ---**
...I feel bad that I caused
you to get such a severe injury.
**[20:58] ---**
I failed as a balancer. I ignored
the theory and went against policy.
**[21:04] ---**
The damage you incurred
is mainly due to my error.
**[21:08] ---**
I feel like I should
apologize to your folks.
**[21:11] ---**
Araragi-kun, you've fulfilled
your role enough at this point.
**[21:15] ---**
Araragi Koyomi-kun, from here on,
there's nothing you can do.
**[21:20] ---**
You can't do anything for Class Prez.
Even if you wanted to.
**[21:24] ---**
It's not a matter of feeling.
It's a matter of skill and ability.
**[21:30] ---**
If anything, your most
important role is to not get in my way.
**[22:00] ---**
Even so, we may laugh sensibly
**[22:00] ---**
Sore demo bokutachi wa shimeshi awaseta youni
**[22:05] ---**
as if we planned in advance
**[22:05] ---**
Monowakari yoku warau darou
**[22:11] ---**
replacing our sighs with deep breaths,
**[22:11] ---**

**[22:16] ---**
without making excuse
for any awkwardness
**[22:16] ---**
Tsutanasa no iiwake mo sezu ni
**[22:21] ---**
I will keep on waiting
until you wish for something
**[22:21] ---**
Kimi ga nozomu koto wo zutto matte iruyo
**[22:32] ---**
If I said it’s not too late,
do I sound like I’m lying?
**[22:32] ---**
Mada maniau to ieba uso ni naruno kana
**[22:42] ---**
It’s not that I want to be saved
**[22:42] ---**
Sukuware tai wake ja nai
**[22:45] ---**
It’s not that I want to be rewarded
**[22:45] ---**
Mukuware tai wake ja nai
**[22:48] ---**
All I want is to scream, broken as I am
**[22:48] ---**
Koware souni tada sakebitai dake

That’s what I am always praying for
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:59] ---**
A daydream which vanishes
on the borderline when touched
**[22:59] ---**
Kyoukaisenjou de fureta kieru DAYDREAM
**[23:14] ---**
Time for a preview hallucination.
**[23:16] ---**
There is a mechanism of the body
called "feigning death."
**[23:19] ---**
Not "fake death," but "imitation death"—
that's how it's written in Japanese.
**[23:22] ---**
In other words, "pretending to be dead."
**[23:24] ---**
They say insects do that when
they're in danger of being eaten.
**[23:27] ---**
Basically, they "play dead" like
humans do when they meet a bear.
**[23:31] ---**
Wait, it doesn't work, does it?
**[23:33] ---**
Next episode, "Tsubasa Family, Part 3."
**[23:37] ---**
If you meet an apparition,
pretend you're about to die.

TSUBASA
**[00:30] ---**
In the blackest darkness
**[00:30] ---**
Kuroi yami no naka
**[00:35] ---**
my first emotion
**[00:35] ---**
sotto saiteita
**[00:42] ---**
was blooming quietly
**[00:42] ---**
Hajimete no kokoro
**[00:47] ---**
I still cannot tell it to you yet today
**[00:47] ---**
Kyou mo ienai mama de
**[00:53] ---**
Pretending that I gave up on you
**[00:53] ---**
Akirameta furi wo shite
**[00:59] ---**
I still can’t help hoping
**[00:59] ---**
Kitai shite shimatte iru
**[01:05] ---**
“I can tell you, I can live with you”
**[01:05] ---**
Kimi ni nara kimi to nara
**[01:11] ---**
That’s why I am scared
**[01:11] ---**
Dakara koso obiete iru
**[01:17] ---**
That is a warm ray of light
**[01:17] ---**
Sore wa atatakana hikari
**[01:27] ---**
I don’t want to know yet
**[01:27] ---**
Kokoro no yukue wo
**[01:32] ---**
where my heart is heading
**[01:32] ---**
ima wa mada shiritaku nai
**[01:53] ---**
*This isn't Hanekawa's room?*
**[02:55] ---**
Big Brother, welcome ho...
**[03:01] ---**
*There were as many as six rooms.*
**[03:03] ---**
*But in that house, there wasn't a room
for Hanekawa Tsubasa anywhere.*
**[03:08] ---**
*Hanekawa, you can't take
that anymore, can you?*
**[03:11] ---**
*Nothing could be done. Fixing it's
impossible. In a word, madness!*
**[03:16] ---**
*That house... That family... That household...*
**[03:19] ---**
*It's already past the point
of no return. It's done for!*
**[03:25] ---**
Gosh, you're a mess, Big Brother.
There, there. You were scared, huh?
**[03:30] ---**
Go ahead.
**[03:32] ---**
That's gross!
**[03:35] ---**
Is that any way to treat my devotion?
**[03:38] ---**
It's educational guidance! How much
are you sisters living in that moment?
**[03:42] ---**
It can't be helped!
Because I'm your little sister!
**[03:46] ---**
Even so, you worried me.
**[03:50] ---**
Because you didn't come home at all.
**[03:55] ---**
Huh?
**[03:56] ---**
Karen-chan and I were worried you may
have run into a ghost or something.
**[04:02] ---**
Ghost?
**[04:03] ---**
Yeah, more like
a monster cat though...
**[04:06] ---**
Monster cat?
**[04:08] ---**
Yup, it's only a rumor,
so I can't say much, but...
**[04:12] ---**
...apparently, a cat ghost
in the form of a human
**[04:15] ---**
is assaulting people all over town.
**[04:18] ---**
ENERGY DRAIN
**[04:19] ---**
When did that story start?
**[04:21] ---**
The rumor came
my way this afternoon.
**[04:25] ---**
That's why I was worried about
you and called you like a madman.
**[04:30] ---**
When I found out you
weren't involved, I felt relieved...
**[04:34] ---**
...but in this situation, as heroes of justice,
the Fire Sisters can't keep quiet.
**[04:39] ---**
Karen-chan's preparing to hunt
the monster cat now!
**[04:43] ---**
Well...
**[04:45] ---**
What's wrong?
What do you mean, "Well"?
**[04:47] ---**
Well, I was thinking
I don't know what to do.
**[04:51] ---**
Riding my bike at night
was scary enough, but...
**[04:55] ---**
...hearing about a scary
monster cat has me shivering,
**[05:00] ---**
and as a chicken,
I can't sleep alone.
**[05:01] ---**
So I was thinking maybe you
and Karen-chan could sleep with me...
**[05:06] ---**
...but if you're going out for justice,
I guess I'll have to give up.
**[05:11] ---**
You were my only hope though...
**[05:13] ---**
What? We were your only hope?
I guess it can't be helped!
**[05:17] ---**
You're so scared I feel sorry
for you, so I'll convince Karen-chan!
**[05:22] ---**
We'll leave the monster-cat
hunt to the police!
**[05:26] ---**
Thanks.
**[05:30] ---**
*With the random energy draining,
I don't get what the Sawari Neko's after.*
**[05:35] ---**
*But do I have the right to know?*
**[05:38] ---**
*Before that, do I think
I want to know about that?*
**[05:42] ---**
*I trespassed on the Hanekawas, discovered their
state of affairs, and lost my composure that much.*
**[05:48] ---**
*Maybe there are things in life
I don't have to know about.*
**[05:54] ---**
*If I'm going to arbitrarily admire her and get
disillusioned, maybe I shouldn't know about it.*
**[06:01] ---**
*Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so
deeply involved with Hanekawa back then.*
**[06:06] ---**
*I shouldn't have worried about the gauze.
But that's just picking and choosing.*
**[06:13] ---**
*I just want to like,
have hope for, and admire her.*
**[06:17] ---**
*She helped me so much
during spring break...*
**[06:23] ---**
*No matter how hard I thought,
I just couldn't understand.*
**[06:25] ---**
*The only thing that was clear was the
fact that I didn't know anything about her.*
**[06:32] ---**
*If this is love, it's foolish.*
**[06:34] ---**
*After the talk I had with Tsukihi,
I just felt so embarrassed.*
**[06:39] ---**
*But when I think about
Hanekawa even now,*
**[06:45] ---**
*my heart feels like it's
going to be ripped apart.*
**[06:49] ---**
MAY 1ST
**[06:52] ---**
*May 1st and also May 2nd...*
**[06:56] ---**
*...Hanekawa didn't come to school.*
**[06:58] ---**
MAY 2ND, SATURDAY
**[06:58] ---**
*After school on the 2nd,
rumors of the monster cat had spread...*
**[07:00] ---**
NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
**[07:04] ---**
*...including a few sightings too.*
**[07:06] ---**
*I could guess the Sawari Neko's activities.*
**[07:10] ---**
*Before vacation started back up
the next day on May 3rd,*
**[07:13] ---**
*I went to the vacant building
Oshino lived in.*
**[07:18] ---**
O-Oshino?
**[07:20] ---**
Hey, Araragi-kun, I was waiting.
**[07:24] ---**
I figured you'd be here soon.
**[07:27] ---**
I was hoping to be healed by then.
**[07:30] ---**
I used those miraculous
bandages on you the other day.
**[07:35] ---**
Oshino, what happened?
**[07:37] ---**
What happened, you ask?
Nothing in particular.
**[07:41] ---**
I just lost.
**[07:42] ---**
Y-You lost? To what?
**[07:44] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[07:45] ---**
What else?
**[07:46] ---**
To the Sawari Neko.
**[07:49] ---**
Counting the night of
April 30th, in the past 3 days...
**[07:52] ---**
...we battled about 20 times,
and I lost about 20 times.
**[07:57] ---**
So you completely lost!
**[07:59] ---**
A complete loss.
I'm a mere shadow of myself.
**[08:03] ---**
Man, a high schooler in lingerie
is temptation to an old man's eyes.
**[08:08] ---**
I was so preoccupied by that,
I couldn't really battle.
**[08:13] ---**
Man, sucking up the vitality of a middle-aged
man whose energy is completely exhausted...
**[08:20] ---**
Th-The Sawari Neko is that strong an apparition
that a pro like you got overwhelmed?
**[08:26] ---**
No, that's not it. I mentioned it
the other day too.
**[08:31] ---**
They're no match for
your vampire attacker.
**[08:34] ---**
It's more like they're a lower-class
apparition not even worth the comparison.
**[08:40] ---**
Huh? You said there was
a disparity compared to vampires...
**[08:44] ---**
...but not that it
was a low-class apparition.
**[08:48] ---**
If I had, you would've said you could help
too. That's why I didn't tell you that much.
**[08:56] ---**
They're actually at a level that, depending on how
you play your cards, you can easily beat them.
**[09:04] ---**
But...
**[09:04] ---**
Of course, I didn't go easy on it.
I tackled it full force.
**[09:10] ---**
But I lost.
**[09:13] ---**
Sawari Neko are small fries.
**[09:15] ---**
They pretend to be dead on the
road and haunt sympathizers.
**[09:19] ---**
A substitution-type ghost.
The type that takes over bodies.
**[09:23] ---**
Then they slam the body's owner to
the abyss of sorrow like the god of poverty.
**[09:29] ---**
You could say they're
like a template of a ghost.
**[09:34] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[09:35] ---**
But the fact it was Class Prez who's been
haunted was the one irregularity of this situation.
**[09:42] ---**
Even though it's usually a small fry,
**[09:44] ---**
she's pulling the Sawari Neko up to
its strongest, rivaling even vampires.
**[09:51] ---**
What's not good is it's sharing
knowledge more than the body.
**[09:56] ---**
My ancient anti-apparition
strategies, techniques, and methods...
**[10:01] ---**
Everything's completely overturned.
**[10:03] ---**
She knows all the professional knowledge
that the pros have.
**[10:07] ---**
She knows everything.
**[10:10] ---**
I've never heard of an apparition that
attacks humans with strategy and tactics.
**[10:17] ---**
I was aware of it from the start,
but she really is no ordinary person.
**[10:22] ---**
The skills she attacks
with aren't an apparition's.
**[10:26] ---**
Wait a second.
The skills she attacks with?
**[10:29] ---**
Oshino, that's like saying Hanekawa
is proactively attacking people.
**[10:33] ---**
Well, that's most likely it.
**[10:36] ---**
They shouldn't be that
kind of apparition though.
**[10:40] ---**
But, Araragi-kun, it may not be such a bad
thing that I'm having this much trouble.
**[10:47] ---**
This development shows that Class Prez
still exists inside of the Sawari Neko.
**[10:53] ---**
That's how I'm taking it. If Class Prez
indeed wasn't inside there anymore...
**[10:58] ---**
...and her body and knowledge were all
taken over, this wouldn't have happened.
**[11:03] ---**
A good amount of her consciousness
most likely exists inside the Sawari Neko.
**[11:08] ---**
That's why it's tough.
**[11:11] ---**
While this is terrible information,
it also has an element of relief.
**[11:16] ---**
Why? Where is there relief?
**[11:19] ---**
Because if she'd been completely
taken over, then that'd be the end.
**[11:24] ---**
We'd have to kill her.
**[11:27] ---**
We have to salvage Class Prez's
consciousness while it still exists.
**[11:32] ---**
If we don't hunt the monster cat...
**[11:34] ---**
...your precious friend named Hanekawa Tsubasa
will be completely gone from this world.
**[11:45] ---**
*There was a dead
white cat on the street.*
**[11:47] ---**
*A man who felt bad for the cat
buried it and then prayed for it.*
**[11:54] ---**
*Starting that night,
he started to act eccentrically.*
**[11:58] ---**
*Those around him couldn't
stand it, so they gave up*
**[12:01] ---**
*and called a shaman to
drive away the monster cat.*
**[12:05] ---**
*But here's the punch line.
Sawari Neko's true value.*
**[12:08] ---**
*There never was a cat haunting
this good man in the first place.*
**[12:14] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[12:17] ---**
I don't know if it's an irrational
punch line or a surprise one,
**[12:21] ---**
but this is an apparition story
with a moral.
**[12:23] ---**
No person exists that is just virtuous, and
kindness is only something piled on the outside.
**[12:30] ---**
There's always something behind it.
If there's light, there's darkness.
**[12:34] ---**
If there's white, there's black.
**[12:36] ---**
The story itself clearly
shows the other side of humans.
**[12:39] ---**
But why is it a cat?
**[12:41] ---**
Because cats are something
you "disguise" yourself with.
**[12:45] ---**
Meaning Class Prez has been
disguised as a good person.
**[12:48] ---**
There are no humans with
just virtue and fairness.
**[12:52] ---**
Rather, they try to be that
and just build up stress.
**[12:56] ---**
Black as black.
**[12:58] ---**
Even then, cats are just masks,
but for some reason...
**[13:02] ---**
...Class Prez is completely
integrated with the Sawari Neko.
**[13:07] ---**
If the cat is her real form,
it's more absorption than integration.
**[13:11] ---**
It's seriously a strong enemy.
Or maybe more like invincible.
**[13:16] ---**
If we don't end this quickly, it'll be bad.
**[13:19] ---**
Otherwise, we may end up
with the same punch line,
**[13:23] ---**
"she wasn't being haunted
by a cat from the beginning."
**[13:27] ---**
We have to do something before Class Prez
and the cat completely fuse together.
**[13:32] ---**
MAY 3RD, CONSTITUTIONAL MEMORIAL DAY
**[13:38] ---**
NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
**[13:44] ---**
RED SCENE
**[14:15] ---**
*The truth is that the honorable
giant breasts of Lady Hanekawa*
**[14:18] ---**
*are always being pressed
against this desk.*
**[14:27] ---**
Are you a pervert
without a credit limit, meow?
**[14:30] ---**
Scary... Scarier than an apparition.
**[14:32] ---**
You were aroused
by licking a girl's desk.
**[14:36] ---**
N-No!
**[14:38] ---**
More importantly,
h-how did you come in and from where?
**[14:41] ---**
More importantly?
**[14:43] ---**
Human, nothing's more important than you
licking my mistress's desk, meow!
**[14:48] ---**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
Regardless, I'd never admit anything in court!
**[14:54] ---**
NYAHAHAHA
**[14:59] ---**
What? That didn't seem
like animosity, human.
**[15:03] ---**
I can't do anything
about you anyway, cat.
**[15:08] ---**
Plus, it's not like
you'll take my life, right?
**[15:11] ---**
Well, we'll see about that, meow.
**[15:15] ---**
My energy drain isn't
a skill. It's a character setting.
**[15:19] ---**
It's not something I can control.
Even if I go easy, I can't control the degree.
**[15:24] ---**
Even if I don't mean to,
there's still a chance I could kill you.
**[15:29] ---**
Even so, it's a little better that you
didn't immediately bite and scratch me.
**[15:34] ---**
If you did that, I'd be helpless.
**[15:37] ---**
NYAHAHAHA
VAMPIRE
**[15:37] ---**
A vampire, huh?
**[15:39] ---**
Well, they're a superior apparition
I couldn't normally fight.
**[15:43] ---**
But my mistress's
tactics and strategies...
**[15:46] ---**
...let me become an entity who
can overwhelm even a specialist.
**[15:51] ---**
I'm grateful for that, meow.
**[15:55] ---**
I don't return favors.
I'm more the type that returns evil for good...
**[16:01] ---**
...but in this case, I thought maybe I should
return the favor due to my gratefulness.
**[16:05] ---**
VAMPIRE
**[16:06] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[16:10] ---**
Even if we have this
energy drain trait,
**[16:14] ---**
I'm sure a Sawari Neko's
and a vampire's are different.
**[16:17] ---**
A vampire's energy drain is their meal...
**[16:19] ---**
MEAL
**[16:20] ---**
...while a Sawari Neko's is a curse.
**[16:21] ---**
CURSE
**[16:23] ---**
Well, that's right, meow.
**[16:24] ---**
But what I don't get is why
you're attacking people left and right.
**[16:29] ---**
Speaking of types, a Sawari Neko isn't normally
the type of apparition that attacks people, right?
**[16:38] ---**
Hey, cat, are you...
**[16:42] ---**
Well, it's for amusement's sake.
**[16:46] ---**
The reason for attacking people.
It's just amusement.
**[16:50] ---**
Like ding-dong ditch!
Like graffiti on a wall! It's the same as those!
**[16:54] ---**
It's to relieve stress!
**[16:57] ---**
To relieve stress, you say?
**[16:59] ---**
That's... Wait, what do you mean?
**[17:02] ---**
No specific meaning.
It meant exactly what you heard.
**[17:06] ---**
You saw the inside of that house, right?
**[17:09] ---**
That house?
**[17:10] ---**
My mistress's.
**[17:12] ---**
I already know.
Cats have a pretty good sense of smell.
**[17:16] ---**
When I went home to change,
the house was filled with your scent.
**[17:20] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[17:23] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[17:23] ---**
In that house and that family,
my mistress spent 15 years there.
**[17:28] ---**
Can't you just imagine what kind
of pressure was torturing her there?
**[17:34] ---**
I am relieving that by playing pranks
on those random good citizens.
**[17:39] ---**
That's all there is to it. My actions
disregard harming or cursing, meow.
**[17:45] ---**
Disregard...
**[17:46] ---**
*Apparitions do that?*
**[17:48] ---**
I'm a possession-type apparition
taking over my mistress's body.
**[17:52] ---**
Meaning I've taken over her brain...
**[17:55] ---**
That's why I know how my mistress
spent the last 15 years in that house.
**[18:00] ---**
That's why I'm giving her
a hand in relieving all that stress.
**[18:05] ---**
But if that's the case,
you don't have to attack unrelated people.
**[18:10] ---**
Unfortunately this is
the only way I know.
**[18:13] ---**
Evil deeds are fun, meow. It's fun because
strangers you don't know are troubled.
**[18:18] ---**
It's neither a reason nor a quibble.
**[18:21] ---**
At the very least, for a character
that's taken a turn for the worse,
**[18:24] ---**
aren't I a little
rounded out now?
**[18:28] ---**
Compared to the time
I ripped off your arm.
**[18:33] ---**
I've thought about that.
**[18:35] ---**
Right?
**[18:36] ---**
Which means what
I'm doing is working.
**[18:40] ---**
That's how it is, so relax.
**[18:42] ---**
After we attack 500 more people,
all her stress should be gone.
**[18:46] ---**
If that happens, the apparition that I am will
finish my role and repay her, and disappear.
**[18:52] ---**
So tell that man in the
Hawaiian shirt not to get in my way.
**[18:57] ---**
I don't really understand,
but he wants to help my mistress, right?
**[19:01] ---**
Then just leave that to me.
**[19:08] ---**
Why are you going that far?
**[19:10] ---**
You're just an evil spirit that
decided to haunt her.
**[19:14] ---**
There should be no reason
to actively do something for her.
**[19:18] ---**
Haven't I said it many times already?
It's not like me, but it's to return the favor.
**[19:23] ---**
That's actually a lie, meow.
**[19:26] ---**
To be honest, I don't feel any
reason to return the favor...
**[19:31] ---**
...other than being
given all that knowledge.
**[19:34] ---**
What are you saying? When you were
killed by a car, Hanekawa buried you.
**[19:40] ---**
Weren't you supposed to be taking
advantage of her kindness and sympathy?
**[19:44] ---**
No, that's not so. As a phenomenon,
that is indeed what happened.
**[19:50] ---**
My mistress picked me up from the ground,
went to a spot with a nice view, and buried me.
**[19:56] ---**
Make no mistake, I recognize that.
**[20:00] ---**
THE CAT'S GRAVE
**[20:01] ---**
My mistress had absolutely
no sympathy towards me.
**[20:06] ---**
She held a service for me, dead
on the road, like it was routine work.
**[20:11] ---**
With no emotion whatsoever...
She didn't have any sympathy for me.
**[20:16] ---**
In other words, there was no space
for me to take advantage of.
**[20:19] ---**
But Hanekawa is...
**[20:22] ---**
To be an ordinary girl
is my mistress's one and only wish.
**[20:27] ---**
"If you see a dead cat
on the street, bury them."
**[20:30] ---**
Well, you could say that's the right thing.
We could call it a rule. A formula.
**[20:35] ---**
Meaning my mistress abided by
that rule and formula. That's all.
**[20:40] ---**
If she was an ordinary person, she
wouldn't follow such rules and formulas.
**[20:45] ---**
Even if people know it's the right and beautiful
thing to do, most of them won't bury a dead cat.
**[20:52] ---**
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
**[20:53] ---**
They may think it, but they won't act.
**[20:56] ---**
They can't do it emotionally or physically,
but Hanekawa does it just like that.
**[21:01] ---**
HANEKAWA WILL
**[21:02] ---**
NEVER BE ABLE TO
**[21:02] ---**
BE AN ORDINARY GIRL.
**[21:02] ---**
Right, she did.
With no emotion.
**[21:06] ---**
She's able to be moral without
thinking, like a machine.
**[21:10] ---**
Even for me, who's been buried
many times, she was unique.
**[21:14] ---**
IT WAS JUST SO DARK
**[21:15] ---**
That's why...
**[21:16] ---**
IT WAS JUST SO BLACK
**[21:16] ---**
...I wanted to help her.
**[21:20] ---**
CLASSROOM
**[21:22] ---**
In short, it was on a whim.
That's like a cat, right?
**[21:30] ---**
So make sure to tell that Hawaiian-shirt
guy to let some cat's mischief slide...
**[21:36] ---**
...if he doesn't want to be sued for animal abuse.
Because I'm overlooking it.
**[21:42] ---**
What do you mean?
**[21:43] ---**
DON'T YOU GET IT?
**[21:44] ---**
Don't you get it?
**[21:45] ---**
If I was...
**[21:45] ---**
IF I WAS
**[21:46] ---**
MORE LIKE, IF MY MISTRESS WAS
**[21:46] ---**
More like, if my mistress was...
**[21:48] ---**
SERIOUS
**[21:48] ---**
...serious about causing harm,
**[21:49] ---**
ABOUT CAUSING
**[21:50] ---**
HARM
**[21:52] ---**
we would've killed him
the first time.
**[21:55] ---**
Because he's an acquaintance,
we're holding back.
**[21:59] ---**
You're... Well, you seem to have
no intention of doing anything.
**[22:10] ---**
Well, you are correct.
**[22:13] ---**
If you're thinking of my mistress,
not doing anything is correct.
**[22:17] ---**
It's not like you want
to die or anything, right?
**[22:22] ---**
See you. You should, well,
work hard and live in happiness, human.
**[22:29] ---**
Wait!
**[22:32] ---**
If your purpose is Hanekawa's
stress relief, then that's impossible.
**[22:38] ---**
Why's that, meow?
**[22:40] ---**
Because the main cause
is Hanekawa's parents, right?
**[22:44] ---**
Even if it's all been relieved, once she goes
back to that house, it will build up again.
**[22:50] ---**
Even if you attack 500 strangers
and keep relieving the stress for a month...
**[22:54] ---**
...eventually, it will be of no use.
**[22:58] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[23:00] ---**
Then I'll torture them to the point
that they'll never come back.
**[23:06] ---**
This time, it won't just be
the energy drain.
**[23:09] ---**
I'll answer domestic violence
with domestic violence.
**[23:13] ---**
If that's my mistress's wish.
**[23:17] ---**
That's...
**[23:21] ---**
That's right. That's the answer.
The moment you touch, harm will happen.
**[23:25] ---**
Hence, "Sawari Neko" (harmful cat).
Keep away. Not even a finger...
**[23:30] ---**
It's best not to have any
connection with me, and most likely...
**[23:35] ---**
...even with my mistress.
**[23:38] ---**
Cat, you're...
**[23:40] ---**
See you. You live happily now.
**[24:06] ---**
It's no good.
**[24:08] ---**
I really do like Hanekawa.
**[24:11] ---**
I like her so much that
I can't even touch her.
**[24:15] ---**
I like her.
**[24:16] ---**
I thought, "Maybe I like her." I felt, "I like her."
And I've realized that I like her.
**[24:22] ---**
But it's exactly as Tsukihi-chan said.
**[24:25] ---**
I like her so much I can't stand it,
but this feeling isn't love.
**[24:32] ---**

**[24:32] ---**
*It's completely surpassed love.*

It's more than "I want to be

**[24:41] ---**
Because I think
I would die for Hanekawa.
**[25:06] ---**
Even so, we may laugh sensibly

It’s not that I want to be rewarded

All I want is to scream, broken as I am

Time for a preview hallucination.
**[26:21] ---**
Though they are not immortal,
**[26:24] ---**
the planarian regenerates its body no matter
how many pieces you hack it into. It's extraordinary!
**[26:28] ---**
But if we vampires regenerate in the same way,
that'd be even more extraordinary.
**[26:32] ---**
If an arm gets ripped off,
a new arm grows out of the body
**[26:34] ---**
and a new body grows from the arm—
there'd be two bodies!
**[26:37] ---**
So, in the blink of an eye, the whole earth
could be covered in me and my little servant.

how many more of us there would be?

*The demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
(Heart Crossing) AKA "Apparition Killer."*
**[02:31] ---**
You got the demon sword
"Kokoro Watari"? I'm amazed.
**[02:36] ---**
Little Miss Vampire's change of
heart is something I didn't expect.
**[02:40] ---**
Well, let me congratulate you.
**[02:45] ---**
So about Class Prez's parents...
They've actually already been discharged.
**[02:50] ---**
Really?
**[02:51] ---**
And I asked them
about a couple of things.
**[02:56] ---**
I wasn't able to gather any useful
information to battle the Sawari Neko.
**[03:01] ---**
Instead, I did hear about
an interesting episode.
**[03:04] ---**
An interesting episode?
**[03:06] ---**
A story about Class Prez's
father hitting her face.
**[03:11] ---**
He got angry, hit her,
and Class Prez flew into a wall.
**[03:16] ---**
Well, Class Prez is a lightweight.
**[03:24] ---**
Then, after Class Prez was curled up
in pain from hitting the wall,
**[03:30] ---**
what do you think
she did, Araragi-kun?
**[03:33] ---**
"No, Father, you
shouldn't hit a girl's face."
**[03:37] ---**
Prez smiled and said that.
**[03:41] ---**
You think those are the words of a girl
who was hit by her father?! They're not!
**[03:47] ---**
It's disgusting.
Utterly innate goodness.
**[03:50] ---**
LIGHT PURPLE SCENE
**[03:51] ---**
It's scary. Scarier than
an apparition. It's disgusting.
**[03:57] ---**
Oshino, you're on their side?
**[04:00] ---**
I'm not on their side. I'm neutral.
**[04:02] ---**
If anything, it's how you
see the situation.
**[04:05] ---**
For Class Prez, she has her point
of view, and her parents have theirs.
**[04:11] ---**
A third party wouldn't
know who's right.
**[04:15] ---**
No, there's no "rightness"
in the first place.
**[04:18] ---**
What's present isn't rightness,
but convenience.
**[04:23] ---**
Even then, Hanekawa is...
Hanekawa is right.
**[04:28] ---**
As I said, that's scary and disgusting.
**[04:31] ---**
Of course, Class Prez's
parents aren't humans to be praised.
**[04:37] ---**
But Araragi-kun, we can't just not
try to understand their feelings.
**[04:42] ---**
Living under one roof with
a human that righteous,
**[04:45] ---**
and it being your daughter,
would make your skin crawl.
**[04:48] ---**
For some ten odd years, they've been
with someone who was just too virtuous.
**[04:51] ---**
HANEKAWA
**[04:51] ---**
TSUBASA
**[04:53] ---**
In other words, it's the hell of being endlessly
shown your own ugliness and immaturity.
**[05:00] ---**
It's a nightmare.
**[05:01] ---**
I almost want to commend them for
holding back and not hitting her all those years.
**[05:07] ---**
Regardless of how you
look at it, it's not her fault.
**[05:11] ---**
It is her fault.
**[05:13] ---**
Those with power should be
aware of the influence they have.
**[05:19] ---**
SHE HARMED
**[05:19] ---**
THINGS THAT SHE TOUCHED
**[05:19] ---**
PEOPLE THAT SHE TOUCHED
**[05:20] ---**
SHE HARMED THEM ALL
**[05:21] ---**
AS IF SHE BLOSSOMED PROUDLY
**[05:22] ---**
This time, everything's irregular.
**[05:25] ---**
Everything's irregular,
and only Class Prez is irregular.
**[05:29] ---**
This, that, everything,
and all are Class Prez's fault.
**[05:35] ---**
Sorry, Oshino.
**[05:38] ---**
Please don't say anything
bad about Hanekawa anymore.
**[05:43] ---**
RED SCENE
**[05:43] ---**
I want to kill them.
**[05:46] ---**
Is that sympathizing with her?
**[05:49] ---**
No. You're totally wrong.
**[05:54] ---**
It's unlike you.
You're missing the point, Oshino.
**[06:00] ---**
I wouldn't sympathize.
I'll just crush on an unfortunate girl.
**[06:05] ---**
I just want to reduce my frustration.
**[06:10] ---**
I'm just hot for a cat-eared
high school girl in lingerie.
**[06:18] ---**
*Demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
It's a weapon that only kills apparitions.*
**[06:23] ---**
*Using this, I can hunt the Sawari Neko
without harming Hanekawa herself.*
**[06:31] ---**
I have nothing else
to say as a pro...
**[06:34] ---**
...but as a friend, as your best friend,
I have some advice I want to give you.
**[06:41] ---**
Advice? What is it?
**[06:44] ---**
The first thing.
**[06:46] ---**
It's true you can separate her
from the Sawari Neko if you use that.
**[06:51] ---**
That's the best idea
to perform its last rites.
**[06:55] ---**
But because it seems like the best idea,
it may be what she's watching out for most.
**[07:02] ---**
Especially if it's an idea you came up with.
Don't you think she's planning for that?
**[07:08] ---**
MAYBE
**[07:09] ---**
In all likelihood, that's probably true.
But I have confidence in it.
**[07:15] ---**
It'll most likely go well.
I have a plan, you know.
**[07:18] ---**
Plan?
**[07:19] ---**
No, not a plan... A hope.
**[07:23] ---**
I'D SAY IT'S WISHFUL THINKING
**[07:27] ---**
Then I'll believe you.
As long as you're okay with that.
**[07:31] ---**
Don't imply anything with your tone.
What are the other two things?
**[07:36] ---**
No, I'll take back the second one.
There's no use saying that one.
**[07:41] ---**
Let me just say the third one.
**[07:44] ---**
*I had a pretty good idea what the second
bit of advice Oshino wanted to tell me was.*
**[07:52] ---**
The third one. The last one.
**[07:55] ---**
This is the most important
and realistic thing, Araragi-kun.
**[08:00] ---**
How are you going to find Class Prez when
you don't know where she's hiding in this town?
**[08:05] ---**
YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING ME TO HELP YOU, ARE YOU?
**[08:06] ---**
Don't worry. I have a solid plan,
not just a hope or wishful thinking.
**[08:13] ---**
I won't hassle you.
**[08:15] ---**
Let's go our separate ways from here.
**[08:19] ---**
You look for the Sawari Neko
as the pro you are. I'll do it my own way.
**[08:24] ---**
Hmm, your way, huh?
**[08:28] ---**
Yeah, you won't be able to do this.
It's one of those "Ultra C" things.
**[08:33] ---**
Then let's see what
you've got. Do as you like.
**[08:37] ---**
No matter what mayhem
or pathetic state you're in...
**[08:40] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[08:40] ---**
...I have no intention
of getting in your way.
**[08:43] ---**
SENT
**[08:54] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[09:11] ---**
Araragi-kun, are you okay?
**[09:16] ---**
I see.
**[09:19] ---**
I guess I was fooled.
**[09:22] ---**
TO: HANEKAWA TSUBASA
SUB: HELP
**[09:22] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[09:23] ---**
I'M GOING TO BE KILLED
BY A VAMPIRE. HELP ME
**[09:27] ---**
But that was a quick arrival, Sawari Neko.
**[09:30] ---**
You appeared in just 30 minutes.
I'm impressed.
**[09:34] ---**
You're the worst, Araragi-kun.
**[09:37] ---**
You can't lie to people
and worry people.
**[09:44] ---**
What?
**[09:45] ---**
What's so funny
about me being angry?
**[09:48] ---**
No, it's because your
speech pattern's messed up...
**[09:53] ---**
...Hanekawa.
**[09:56] ---**
What's wrong, honors student?
**[09:58] ---**
Wasn't adding "meow meow" to your sentences
the character setup for the Sawari Neko?
**[10:06] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[10:06] ---**
Oh well.
**[10:13] ---**
Or "meow well"? Well, whatever.
**[10:17] ---**
Huh? When did you figure it out?
**[10:21] ---**
I sort of figured from the start.
**[10:24] ---**
I'm your friend.
There's no way I'd misread you.
**[10:29] ---**
There's no way I wouldn't figure it out.
**[10:32] ---**
Possessed by an apparition or taking in
an apparition, you are yourself, Hanekawa.
**[10:38] ---**
Just because your character changed
doesn't mean your personality changed.
**[10:41] ---**
That's you. You yourself.
**[10:44] ---**
If you get a text for help,
**[10:46] ---**
you'll be there at a moment's notice
regardless of the situation or battle.
**[10:52] ---**
Your instincts make you run,
like a cat playing with lint.
**[10:56] ---**
That's you.
**[10:58] ---**
This is...
**[11:00] ---**
This is me, huh?
**[11:02] ---**
That's right.
**[11:04] ---**
I mean, you're angry I lied, but on
the other hand, you're relieved, right?
**[11:09] ---**
You're relieved, aren't you?
**[11:13] ---**
You're super nice and super strong.
You're too nice and too strong.
**[11:18] ---**
Too nice that it's tough to live and too
strong you'd sell your soul to an apparition.
**[11:24] ---**
So right you pressure others.
I get why you want to deny it.
**[11:29] ---**
I don't, but I do. But, Hanekawa...
**[11:32] ---**
But, Hanekawa...
**[11:35] ---**
But, Hanekawa...
**[11:37] ---**
That's you!
**[11:42] ---**
You're going to live the rest of your life
with that personality! You can't change!
**[11:47] ---**
You were born with and grew up to have
that personality, so it can't be helped!
**[11:53] ---**
All you can do is stop complaining
and work hard to get on with it!
**[11:59] ---**
What are you saying, Araragi-kun?
**[12:02] ---**
Don't be so unreasonable.
I'm having a hard time too.
**[12:07] ---**
There are things I can and can't do.
**[12:11] ---**
I'm human too.
**[12:12] ---**
APPARITION
**[12:12] ---**
You're not human.
**[12:14] ---**
You surrendered yourself
to an apparition.
**[12:18] ---**
Don't claim to be a human now.
**[12:22] ---**
You say such harsh things, Araragi-kun.
**[12:24] ---**
Even though you know why
this happened to me.
**[12:28] ---**
You tell me to do my best
even in this. That's mean.
**[12:32] ---**
So mean.
**[12:34] ---**
Araragi-kun, you won't sympathize with me?
**[12:38] ---**
I won't.
**[12:40] ---**
You don't know your real father, and
your biological mother committed suicide.
**[12:45] ---**
On top of being handed off
from one family to another,
**[12:48] ---**
you weren't able to bond with
your adopted parents.
**[12:52] ---**
You grew up in a cold household,
but still tried to be strong and normal.
**[12:55] ---**
Being able to fulfill that,
you're so out of luck!
**[13:01] ---**
You have bad luck.
Such misfortune!
**[13:03] ---**
But who cares about that!
**[13:07] ---**
You don't have to feel pain
just because you're unfortunate.
**[13:11] ---**
You don't have to sulk
just because you're not lucky.
**[13:15] ---**
Even if something bad happens,
you can be cheerful!
**[13:18] ---**
HANEKAWA
**[13:18] ---**
You'll just go home like nothing happened...
**[13:23] ---**
...then spend your days with your parents who
were just discharged like nothing has changed.
**[13:30] ---**
I guarantee you'll never be able to
reconcile with them for the rest of your life.
**[13:34] ---**
Even if you're happy
in the future, it's no use.
**[13:37] ---**
Regardless of how happy you become,
the failed past will never disappear.
**[13:41] ---**
You'll remember once you forget.
And dream about it for the rest of your life!
**[13:44] ---**
We are forever going
to see the nightmare!
**[13:47] ---**
Nothing will change in reality!
**[13:51] ---**
Won't change...
**[13:52] ---**
I definitely won't sympathize with you.
**[13:57] ---**
Don't make the cat the reason.
Don't make the apparition an excuse.
**[14:00] ---**
Don't grow using misfortune
as a stepping stone.
**[14:02] ---**
Even if you do, you'll just
end up scratching yourself.
**[14:07] ---**
WEREN'T YOU GONNA
**[14:07] ---**
There isn't actually an apparition.
**[14:08] ---**
HELP SET ME STRAIGHT
**[14:09] ---**
IF YOU STRAY FROM THE RIGHT PATH
**[14:09] ---**
That's the lie!
**[14:10] ---**
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
**[14:12] ---**
If you want to relieve stress,
then I'll take all that on for you.
**[14:16] ---**
I'll touch your breasts all the time,
and I'll look at you in your lingerie anytime.
**[14:21] ---**
So be patient.
I'll make time for you anytime.
**[14:27] ---**
Because I'm your friend.
**[14:32] ---**
Araragi-kun, you are seriously the worst.
You make my head throb.
**[14:37] ---**
You can become the star
but not a hero.
**[14:41] ---**
I can't even become the star.
I can only become a vampire.
**[14:46] ---**
I MISSED THE CHANCE EVEN TO BE ONE
**[14:48] ---**
I see...
**[14:49] ---**
ARARAGI-KUN
**[14:49] ---**
You won't become my hero.
**[14:53] ---**
You won't become it.
**[14:55] ---**
I've been thinking this for a while,
but, Araragi-kun, the truth is you hate me, right?
**[15:01] ---**
Yeah. The truth is
I hate you so much, Hanekawa.
**[15:08] ---**
I see...
**[15:10] ---**
The truth is I hate you
so much too, Araragi-kun.
**[15:17] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[15:22] ---**
Die...
**[15:23] ---**
Die...
**[15:24] ---**
Die...
**[15:26] ---**
Die...
**[15:27] ---**
Die...
**[15:28] ---**
Die...
**[15:30] ---**

**[15:38] ---**
Die...
**[15:39] ---**
Die...
**[15:40] ---**
Die...
**[15:41] ---**
Die...
**[15:43] ---**
I should just die.
**[15:46] ---**
Meow.
**[15:54] ---**
It's wonderful that you
will take on all of my stress.
**[16:00] ---**
Then is it okay to kill you?
**[16:03] ---**
Yeah. What satisfaction.
**[16:06] ---**
I want to die
being killed by you.
**[16:08] ---**
I see...
**[16:08] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[16:09] ---**
Then die.
**[16:34] ---**
Ouch!
**[16:36] ---**
It hurts!
**[16:36] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[16:45] ---**
Araragi-kun! What... what did you do to me!
**[16:53] ---**
You hid the sword in your body?
**[16:56] ---**
Yeah, I swallowed it in advance.
**[17:00] ---**
Just like an old-school
magician from back in the day.
**[17:07] ---**
B-But, Araragi-kun... this pain!
**[17:12] ---**
Yeah, it doesn't hurt
the actual you, right?
**[17:16] ---**
That sword's called an apparition killer.
**[17:19] ---**
It's a sword I borrowed from
a vampire that only cuts apparitions.
**[17:23] ---**
It didn't cut you, only the
Sawari Neko embedded inside of you.
**[17:28] ---**
APPARITION KILLER
ONLY KILLS THE APPARITION
**[17:28] ---**
Th-There can't be a
nonsense sword like that...
**[17:33] ---**
Yeah, you didn't know, right?
**[17:36] ---**
Even a pro like Oshino didn't know he had
such a crazy thing till right before this.
**[17:44] ---**
As they say, it's a sword
that transcends the human intellect.
**[17:49] ---**
Something even Oshino-san wouldn't know...
**[17:53] ---**
If you knew the existence
of this killer item,
**[17:56] ---**
you never would've fallen
into a trap like this.
**[18:00] ---**
This was just my
wishful thinking, though.
**[18:05] ---**
Because, in the worst case, you may have
known of the existence of that sword.
**[18:11] ---**
I'm glad, Hanekawa.
**[18:13] ---**
You don't necessarily
know everything, do you?
**[18:20] ---**
Then you shouldn't give things up,
acting like you know everything.
**[18:26] ---**
Don't say stupid things
like "I should just die!"
**[18:29] ---**
There's still so much
you don't know about!
**[18:33] ---**
So, just say, "I don't know everything.
I only know what I know," like usual!
**[18:43] ---**
*I will die.*
**[18:44] ---**
*I will die, being killed by Hanekawa.
I will die for Hanekawa.*
**[18:48] ---**
*Oh man...*
**[18:50] ---**
*What happiness.*
**[18:54] ---**
*I know I'm doing
such a foolish thing.*
**[18:58] ---**
*There is no meaning to this.*
**[19:00] ---**
*I can kill the Sawari Neko
with the apparition killer,*
**[19:03] ---**
*but that doesn't mean
Hanekawa's stress will be relieved,*
**[19:07] ---**
*and her family problems
won't disappear.*
**[19:09] ---**
*If this result was what was needed,
Oshino would have taken care of it on the first try.*
**[19:15] ---**
*The second bit of advice Oshino was going
to give me was most likely along this line.*
**[19:21] ---**
*But it's fine this way.*
**[19:23] ---**
*I'm not necessarily
meaning to save you, Hanekawa.*
**[19:28] ---**
*Even if it's meaningless and a waste,
I want to die for you. That's all.*
**[19:33] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[19:46] ---**
Because the sword separated
Hanekawa and the Sawari Neko,
**[19:50] ---**
they're having a problem
with the unification.
**[19:58] ---**
What are you doing, cat?
**[20:01] ---**
What are you doing
hurting Hanekawa?
**[20:03] ---**
The reason why you did
all those things for Hanekawa...
**[20:07] ---**
...was because she never sympathized with you
when you were dead on the street, wasn't it?
**[20:13] ---**
ARARAGI KOYOMI
**[20:13] ---**
That's how it was with me too.
**[20:15] ---**
VAMPIRE
**[20:15] ---**
Even to me, who was attacked
by a vampire and no longer human...
**[20:16] ---**
HUMAN
**[20:18] ---**
ARARAGI KOYOMI
**[20:19] ---**
Hanekawa never sympathized
with me and looked down on me.
**[20:20] ---**
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
**[20:21] ---**
CLASSMATE
**[20:22] ---**
CLASS PRESIDENT
**[20:24] ---**
She looked at me as her equal.
**[20:24] ---**
LIFE SAVER
**[20:26] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[20:26] ---**
Isn't that right, Sawari Neko?
**[20:28] ---**
Regardless if you're dead on
the street or attacked by a vampire...
**[20:32] ---**
We're not pitiful, right?
**[20:35] ---**
You liked Hanekawa
for who she was, right?
**[20:40] ---**
So... So stop attacking
Hanekawa in that way!
**[20:44] ---**
Stop... Stop it...
**[20:46] ---**
Please stop it!
**[20:47] ---**
YELLOW SCENE
**[20:47] ---**
Are you an idiot, my servant?
**[20:52] ---**
Of course the machine is going to
be damaged if you turn it off roughly.
**[20:57] ---**
I HEARD
**[20:58] ---**
How could you use my precious sword
in such a rash way?
**[21:02] ---**
Such an apparition sashimi presentation...
**[21:04] ---**
...makes me laugh.
**[21:06] ---**
AN AUDITORY HALLUCINATION
**[21:27] ---**
Gosh, just like usual, this servant
only sees what is right in front of his eyes.
**[21:33] ---**
After you let me live without my consent,
don't think you can die without my consent!
**[21:38] ---**
Idiot.
**[21:39] ---**
I'll show you an example, so watch.
**[21:41] ---**
BE FASCINATED
**[21:41] ---**
Be fascinated.
**[21:43] ---**
Watch. Apparition killing
is done like so.
**[22:13] ---**
It's okay, right?
**[22:15] ---**
It's okay, right, Hanekawa?
**[22:18] ---**
We're all worthless, but...
**[22:21] ---**
We're all really unfortunate,
can't repay anything, can't undo anything, but...
**[22:26] ---**
We're like this for life,
but that's fine, right?
**[22:32] ---**
There's no way it's fine.
**[22:36] ---**
MAY 8TH
**[22:57] ---**
*The next day, I left the house
on my bike without eating breakfast.*
**[23:03] ---**
*I had somewhere to stop
before going to school.*
**[23:24] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[23:24] ---**
Well...
**[23:27] ---**
*I can't pet her like that.*
**[23:29] ---**
Oh, that? Little Miss Vampire
begged me for it.
**[23:33] ---**
Well, it's as if she was the one
who solved everything with the cat,
**[23:37] ---**
so I gave it to her as a reward.
**[23:40] ---**
Like disappointment,
it was a fleeting hope.
**[23:44] ---**
By the way Oshino, about Hanekawa.
**[23:47] ---**
Is everything okay?
**[23:50] ---**
Yeah, it's okay. I guarantee it.
**[23:52] ---**
Class Prez doesn't remember
anything about this Golden Week.
**[23:57] ---**
Her memories as Black Hanekawa...
**[24:01] ---**
...are completely lost.
**[24:03] ---**
Black Hanekawa? What's that?
**[24:06] ---**
Class Prez in that form.
**[24:08] ---**
SHE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE NAME, BUT
**[24:08] ---**
It's not quite right to call that a Sawari Neko.
**[24:11] ---**
THE NAME DOESN'T LIVE UP TO HER, EITHER
**[24:11] ---**
IT FITS HER EXACTLY
**[24:11] ---**
A new breed needs a new name.
**[24:13] ---**
THE NAME EXPRESSES THE BODY
**[24:14] ---**
A new, modern-age demon.
**[24:16] ---**
Black Hanekawa.

BLACK HANEKAWA
**[24:18] ---**
You have lame taste
when it comes to names.
**[24:20] ---**
SO BLACK SO BLACK SO BLACK
HANEKAWA TSUBASA
**[24:22] ---**
Once she energy drained her parents,
it seems like her consciousness came back.
**[24:27] ---**
I guess on that point
maybe her wish was fulfilled?
**[24:32] ---**
Wish...
**[24:33] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[24:33] ---**
But it went right back.
**[24:35] ---**
The correct thing to say might be,
the Class prez wished so hard,
**[24:38] ---**
the cat was pulled back and completely
taken in as it was separating from her.
**[24:44] ---**
At that moment, a new apparition,
Black Hanekawa, was born.
**[24:49] ---**
OPPORTUNISM AND IDEALISM
**[24:51] ---**
HE PASSED THE BUCK LIKE
"LET'S MAKE IT THE DEMON'S FAULT"
**[24:53] ---**
I COULDN'T EVEN DIE FOR HANEKAWA
**[24:55] ---**
Oshino, if you say it's
a new breed of demons,
**[24:58] ---**
maybe Hanekawa was possessed
by a demon called family?
**[25:03] ---**
Family, huh?
**[25:05] ---**
But to her, they weren't family, right?
**[25:09] ---**
For exactly that reason,
maybe for her
**[25:11] ---**
the family was an apparition
this whole time.
**[25:15] ---**
I wonder...
**[25:21] ---**
But whether she became a cat or not...
**[25:25] ---**
Hanekawa will remain as herself.
That makes me think about many things.
**[25:29] ---**
WHITE SCENE
**[25:30] ---**
Why don't you marry her?
**[25:32] ---**
I mean, why don't you marry Class Prez?
**[25:37] ---**
Then she can have the family
she's never been able to have.
**[25:42] ---**
No, that's a bad joke, Oshino.
**[25:46] ---**
Really? I think it's a great idea.
**[25:49] ---**
I think it's an equal exchange for what
Class Prez did for you during spring break.
**[25:56] ---**
There's Hanekawa's feelings too.
**[25:59] ---**
Of course there is.
**[26:02] ---**
Because there's a feeling, you're charmed.
**[26:05] ---**
You can become a victim,
a perpetrator, or an apparition too.
**[26:15] ---**
But, Araragi-kun, you have
feelings too, don't you?
**[26:19] ---**
My feelings...
**[26:21] ---**
I assumed that you were
in love with Class Prez.
**[26:29] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[26:29] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[26:32] ---**
I'm not in love with Hanekawa.
**[26:36] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[26:38] ---**
You heard me.
**[26:39] ---**
*Let's keep it as that.*
**[26:41] ---**
BLACK SCENE
**[26:42] ---**
*That's the happiest situation.*
**[26:45] ---**
If you're fine with that, so am I.
**[26:48] ---**
Well, your feelings aside,
Class Prez's feelings are more important.
**[26:54] ---**
Regardless of what the Sawari Neko did,
and what you've done,
**[26:59] ---**
people are saved on their own.
**[27:02] ---**
Plus, Hanekawa wasn't
seeking help anyway.
**[27:06] ---**
I wish she had sought my help, though.
**[27:09] ---**
If Hanekawa relied on me,
I would have done anything.
**[27:14] ---**
She may have unexpectedly
been seeking it.
**[27:17] ---**
Huh?
**[27:19] ---**
Just because she didn't say "help me"
doesn't mean she didn't seek help.
**[27:24] ---**
Just like you don't like someone
unless you say "I like you."
**[27:28] ---**
There's a word you can't just
lightly say to anyone, right, Araragi-kun?
**[27:37] ---**
*I'm not worried.*
**[27:39] ---**
*I have confidence that I can smile back to
Hanekawa who will smile to me as usual.*
**[27:44] ---**
*After all, I don't love Hanekawa at all.*
**[27:49] ---**
*I'll never say that I love her
for the rest of my life.*
**[27:55] ---**
Hanekawa...
**[27:57] ---**
Hanekawa...
**[27:58] ---**
Hanekawa-san...
**[28:00] ---**
*One day, I will love
someone other than you.*
**[28:04] ---**
*I'll love someone else
for the first time in my life.*
**[28:08] ---**
*You've taught me how
to care about someone.*
**[28:12] ---**
*There will be a day that I fall
in love with someone other than you.*
**[28:19] ---**
*But these nine golden days
that you have forgotten...*
**[28:24] ---**
*...regretfully, I think I'll remember
for a long time and never forget.*
**[28:30] ---**
*Regardless of what kind of
future is waiting for me...*
**[28:34] ---**
*Regardless of what kind of future
I'll be facing, this feeling born inside of me...*
**[28:38] ---**
*...will never change and be forgotten
as if it never happened.*
**[28:43] ---**
*So just like that, during the Golden Week
of my third year in high school,*
**[28:48] ---**
*in May of my 18th year...*
**[28:50] ---**
*...Araragi Koyomi lost love even
though it was not even his first love.*
**[28:55] ---**
*I climb the stairs.*

It’s not that I want to be rewarded

Kyoukaisenjou de fureta kieru DAYDREAM
**[30:31] ---**
Time for a preview hallucination.
**[30:33] ---**
Ever heard of the "Shiban Mushi (bug)?"
**[30:35] ---**
In Japanese writing,
it means "death" and "guard,"
**[30:37] ---**
and in English, it's called
the "death watch beetle."
**[30:40] ---**
Its name is way too cool
in both Japanese and English!
**[30:43] ---**
The sound it makes sounds
like the ticking of a clock,
**[30:45] ---**
which some take as the countdown
toward death, thus "death" and "guard."
**[30:50] ---**
That clock is so out of this world!
**[30:53] ---**
Next episode, "Tsubasa Tiger, Part 1."
**[30:56] ---**
Come to think of it,
my servant deserves death.
