SIGN CHAPTER 001
[00:04] Koyomi
If I could see Mayoi Hachikuji
one more time, I wouldn't mind dying.
[00:08] Koyomi
For a while, I truly thought that.
[00:12] Koyomi
As for why I didn't do so...
[00:14] Koyomi
Much though I was okay with dying,
perhaps more so,
[00:17] Koyomi
I still wanted to live, contrary to expectations.
[00:21] Koyomi
I felt there was something
for me to do while I'm alive.
[00:26] Koyomi
When there's family or a lover,
[00:29] Koyomi
benefactors or friends,
those are factors to consider.
[00:33] Koyomi
However, humans, or at least I,
[00:36] Koyomi
aren't creatures with such strong self-control
that one would die for an emotion.
[00:42] Koyomi
I don't need friends.
[00:47] Koyomi
Because my strength as a human decreases.
[00:50] Koyomi
Those pet phrases became nostalgic,
so weak I've become.
[00:54] Koyomi
I am weak as a human.
[00:56] Koyomi
Weak, so weak...
[00:58] Koyomi
What's weakest of all is that
I don't particularly loathe my weakened self.
[01:06] Koyomi
I hold no grudge against it.
[01:11] Koyomi
However, there may be people out there
who cannot forgive me for becoming weaker.
[01:19] Koyomi
Overcoming the hell from spring break,
I still continued to live,
[01:23] Koyomi
and I'm not one who can't notice
someone glaring at me, wishing for me to die.
[01:28] Ougi
You really are a fool, Araragi-senpai.
[01:34] Koyomi
Yeah, it's true.
[01:36] Koyomi
"He that is born a fool
is never cured until death."
[01:38] Koyomi
On the other hand,
if it's something that death will cure,
SIGN KOYOMI ARARAGI
[01:42] Koyomi
being a fool may not have been
that terrible of an illness, either.

Yes, that's right.

[03:44] Koyomi

[03:45] Koyomi
What kind of a situation was this now?
SIGN Exam-taker number: 0049 Name: Araragi, Koyomi Foreign Subjects Taken: English, German, Chinese, Russian, Japanese (circle two subjects that apply)
[03:48] Koyomi
Right. Today, March 13th
was the day of my entrance exams.
SIGN Exam Date: 3/13/xxxx (Tue) General Entrance Exams Japanese - oo:oo ~ oo:oo
[03:53] Koyomi
Before heading to the college campus
to take the exam, I had made a detour.
[03:57] Koyomi
There, I saw the leader of the specialists,
[04:00] Koyomi
Gaen Izuko-san, waiting for me within
the shrine grounds, and I had to face her.
[04:10] Koyomi
And?
[04:11] Koyomi
And, why Hachikuji?
[04:13] Koyomi
Mayoi Hachikuji-san?
[04:22] Koyomi
Oh, brother.
Looks like there's a problem.
[04:25] Koyomi
From this turn of events,
[04:26] Koyomi
I'm sure everyone is thinking of
a surprising reunion with someone
[04:30] Koyomi
Koyomi Araragi would never see again,
the one close to his heart, Mayoi Hachikuji,
[04:34] Koyomi
jumping for joy, choked with gratified tears,
trembling from the touching moment,
[04:38] Koyomi
rejoicing and screaming nonsense,
and he would first attempt to hug her.
[04:44] Koyomi
I'm sure that's what everyone expects.
[04:46] Koyomi
I'm sure that's what is expected of me.
[04:50] Koyomi
That's quite the burden of expectation.
[04:52] Koyomi
My adolescent self, the one who
jumped at Hachikuji with a rocket-like start
[04:57] Koyomi
each time he saw her walking around town,
is no longer here.
[04:59] Koyomi
If that is Koyomi Araragi, then he is already dead.
[05:03] Koyomi
He. Is. Dead.
[05:05] Koyomi
Such a Koyomi Araragi
that is better off dead, really was dead.
[05:10] Koyomi
He met a fitting end.
[05:12] Koyomi
But well, that said...
[05:14] Koyomi
That said...
[05:16] Koyomi
Tracing back the faint threads of memory,
I am indebted to Hachikuji quite a bit as well.

It is only natural to approach someone who took care of you with gratitude.
[05:32] Koyomi
If that's been decided, then all is well.
[05:36] Koyomi
On your mark, get set...
[06:03] Koyomi
Hachikuji!
[06:10] Koyomi
Hachikuji! Hachikuji! Hachikuji!
[06:16] Koyomi
What are you doing here?
Why are you here for me right now?
[06:20] Koyomi
No, I don't care about the reason,
I'm just happy that you're here for me.
[06:23] Koyomi
I can't put these touching feelings to words!
[06:32] Koyomi
Oh, how this feels to the touch...
The feeling of huggin you...
[06:34] Koyomi
This size, and how it
completely fits within my arms!
[06:37] Koyomi
This truly is Hachikuji!
[06:39] Koyomi
Thankful, so thankful!
[06:41] Koyomi
The more we rub cheeks,
the more it feels like Hachikuji!
[06:44] Koyomi
The more I lick around,
the more it feels like Hachikuji!
[06:46] Koyomi
The more it ripens,
the more I can lick Hachikuji!
[06:50] Koyomi
Come on, let me touch you more!
[06:52] Koyomi
Let me hug you more!
[06:53] Koyomi
Let me lick you more!
[06:58] Koyomi

And also at this shrine,
Kagenui-san went missing, too.
[07:48] Koyomi
I had one bad thing
happen to me after another.
[07:51] Koyomi
For all this time, I called the two weeks
of spring break as a hellish time for me.
[07:56] Koyomi
But the true hell
may have been the past six months—
[07:59] Mayoi
That's incorrect, Araragi-san.
[08:02] Koyomi
Hm? What is?
[08:04] Mayoi
Ara-lucky-san.
[08:07] Koyomi
Hachikuji, I was just talking about how
unfortunate of a person I had been.
[08:12] Koyomi
I don't care how you flub, but just don't flub
in such a positive, happy light like that.
[08:17] Koyomi
At the least, you should have said Un-lucky-san.
[08:20] Koyomi
That, and my name is Araragi.
[08:23] Mayoi
I'm sorry. I flubbed.
[08:24] Koyomi
No, that was intentional.
[08:26] Mayoi
I fwubbed.
[08:27] Koyomi
It's not intentional?
[08:29] Mayoi
Flub-dub-cub-hub-stub-grub-sub-bub-rub-club-tub.
[08:33] Koyomi
How can you recite that without flubbing?
[08:35] Koyomi
I can't help but marvel at you as you do that!
[08:38] Mayoi
You're incorrect, Araragi-san.
[08:46] Mayoi
It's more realistic an error,
or rather a more practical error...
[08:50] Mayoi
To be frank, the location is different.
[08:54] Koyomi
Location?
[08:57] Mayoi
For a while, Araragi-san,
[09:00] Mayoi
you've been saying
"this shrine" this, "this shrine" that.
[09:06] Mayoi
But, this isn't North Shirahebi Shrine.
[09:11] Mayoi
Huh? What?
[09:14] Mayoi
And, it's not even that park
where I first met you, Araragi-san.
[09:18] Koyomi
What?
[09:21] Mayoi
Araragi-san,
please stay calm and listen to me.
[09:26] Mayoi
Araragi-san, you may be thinking that I,
[09:28] Mayoi
someone who has rested in peace,
have returned before you.
[09:33] Mayoi
But actually, in reality, that is not the case.
[09:37] Koyomi
What?
SIGN WHAT
[09:38] Mayoi
It's not that I have appeared
before you, Araragi-san.
[09:41] Mayoi
Araragi-san, you were the one
who appeared before me, okay?
SIGN WHAT
[09:44] Koyomi
What, what?
SIGN WHAT²
[09:45] Mayoi
Araragi-san, early in the morning on March 13th,
you visited said North Shirahebi Shrine,
[09:51] Mayoi
met with Gaen Izuko-san,
and you were murdered.
[09:58] Izuko
And that solution is for you to die.
[10:01] Izuko
It's all right. It will only hurt for an instant.
SIGN HACHIKUJI BUS
[10:06] Mayoi

among all hells...

[10:27] Koyomi
Let's say this is indeed Avici.
I have one big question.
[10:32] Mayoi
Oh, you're wondering why you fell into
such a deep part of hell, Araragi-san?
[10:38] Mayoi
You see, Araragi-san,
you have turned into a vampire, right?
SIGN HMRGH?
[10:42] Mayoi
The main sin that lowered you down
to Avichi is just that. Saving a demon.
SIGN TOUR OF HELL
[10:48] Mayoi
Of course you'd go to hell for that.
[11:00] Koyomi
I see.
[11:02] Koyomi
No, the big question I had
wasn't about my grave sin.
[11:08] Koyomi
What the hell are you doing here?
[11:11] Mayoi
Why, you ask...
[11:13] Mayoi
But well, you see, I fell down to hell.
[11:21] Koyomi
You've got to be kidding me.
After such a touching resting into peace!?
[11:25] Koyomi
You fell to hell after that?
Seriously? That was such a waste!
[11:29] Koyomi
What are you doing? This just can't be!
[11:34] Mayoi
See, I didn't know
until I fell down here myself.
[11:39] Mayoi
When children die before their parents,
they apparently go straight to hell, no matter what.
SIGN IT'S THAT BIT ABOUT PILING UP STONES ON THE BANKS OF HELL
[11:48] Koyomi
You're kidding, right?
[11:52] Mayoi
Hmm? What's the matter, Araragi-san?
[11:55] Koyomi
But still...
[11:57] Koyomi
That's not a sin that would make you fall
all the way down to Avichi unlike me, right?
[12:03] Koyomi
Shouldn't you be piling stones
on the banks of hell?
[12:06] Mayoi
Yes, that's right, Araragi-san.
[12:10] Mayoi
I knew this is where
you'd come falling down to, Araragi-san.
[12:14] Mayoi
That is why I took a trip
from the banks of Hell to pick you up.
[12:22] Mayoi
"It looks like I'm having a friend come nearby,
so I'll take a break from piling stones today!"
[12:27] Mayoi
That's how I got out of there.
[12:29] Koyomi
So the banks of hell
is that easygoing a place to be?
[12:38] Koyomi
You had known in advance?
[12:40] Mayoi
No, it's not that I knew.
The person who told me about it, did know.
[12:47] Mayoi
Apparently that person...
[12:50] Mayoi
...knows everything.
SIGN CHAPTER 005
[12:55] Mayoi
Now that all the detailed explanations
for every mystery has been explained,
[12:59] Mayoi
let us start heading over.
[13:02] Mayoi
Let's go, Araragi-san.
[13:07] Koyomi
Hachikuji, you haven't had any hesitation
in your steps at all until here.
[13:10] Koyomi
At the least, can you tell me
where our destination is?
[13:13] Mayoi
To tell you the destination where we are heading
based on the objective for heading there...
[13:18] Mayoi
Araragi-san, it's my job
to resurrect you back to life.
[13:22] Koyomi
Eh? I can be resurrected?
[13:25] Mayoi
Of course you can.
What are you going to do by staying dead?
[13:28] Koyomi
But, Gaen-san...
[13:30] Mayoi
No, that's why you need
to get a grip, Araragi-san.
[13:34] Mayoi
In other words,
"dying then resurrecting" was included
[13:37] Mayoi
in everything proceeding according
to her calculations.
[13:40] Koyomi
What's up with that fruitless calculation?
[13:42] Koyomi
That's a pretty meaningless act, much like
dividing by two after multiplying by two.
[13:47] Mayoi
It's not "dividing by two
after multiplying by two."
[13:50] Mayoi
There is subtraction as well.
[13:53] Mayoi
Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.
[13:58] Mayoi
Oh, Araragi-san.
[14:01] Mayoi
Someone has sunken into the ground over there.
SIGN CHAPTER 006
[14:09] Koyomi
Sh-Shinobu!
[14:19] Mayoi
Was it like your body
moved on its own, Araragi-san?
[14:23] Mayoi
That's strange. Araragi-san, you regretted
saving Shinobu-san over spring break so much.
[14:29] Mayoi
But here, in the same situation,
why did you try to do the same thing again?
[14:34] Koyomi
Well, that's... Um...
[14:37] Koyomi
All I can say is that my body moved on its own.
[14:42] Koyomi
Well, I still do wonder
[14:43] Koyomi
to this day, what would have happened
if I had ignored Shinobu back then.
[14:47] Koyomi
I think and dream about it even now.
[14:51] Mayoi
Over here!
[14:57] Mayoi
Oh, Araragi-san, a pervert
is coming this way. Please be careful.
[15:01] Koyomi
A pervert is coming? That's a big deal.
[15:04] Koyomi
Hachikuji, hide inside my clothes,
I mean, behind my back.
[15:07] Mayoi
You've already said "inside my clothes" there.
[15:12] Mayoi
You could say, Araragi-san,
that your life turned tumultuous
[15:15] Mayoi
from when you saved Shinobu-san.
[15:18] Mayoi
But if you say that,
a big aspect was you getting to know
[15:21] Mayoi
Hanekawa-san right before
you saved Shinobu-san.
[15:24] Koyomi
Well, I won't deny that it was
Hanekawa's fault in all sorts of ways.
[15:29] Koyomi
Because she doesn't know everything, but knows only
what she knows, and exposed truths she didn't need to,
[15:36] Koyomi
and because she forgot truths
that she didn't have to forget,
[15:39] Koyomi
we went through reckless shortcuts
and impossible detours this whole time.
[15:44] Koyomi
But...
[15:45] Koyomi
Even then, I am glad
that I became friends with her.
[15:49] Koyomi
That, I believe from the bottom of my heart.
[15:59] Koyomi
Senjyogahara!
[16:05] Mayoi
I believe there was an option here to not catch
Senjyogahara-san after her foot slipped.
SIGN BACK THEN, SENJYOGAHARA-SAN HAD ALMOST NO WEIGHT
SIGN SO SHE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN INJURED
[16:13] Mayoi
But Araragi-san...
[16:15] Koyomi
I'll catch her, as many times as I need to,
[16:17] Koyomi
if Senjyogahara would come falling down.
[16:20] Mayoi
Suppose that, back then,
if you had not caught Senjyogahara-san.
[16:26] Mayoi
That con artist is going to show up
in this town shortly after this, right?
[16:31] Koyomi
The con artist... Deishu Kaiki.
[16:35] Mayoi
If, back then, you had not gotten
in the way, Araragi-san,
[16:38] Mayoi
perhaps they may have
gotten back together again?
[16:45] Mayoi
How is it, Araragi-san?
[16:47] Mayoi
If you imagined that perhaps you got in the way
of Senjyogahara-san and Kaiki-san's romance...
[16:53] Koyomi
If I imagined?
[16:55] Koyomi
All the same, I can't help but think,
"Serves you right!"
[17:01] Koyomi
It seems she was obliged
to Kaiki concerning Sengoku.
[17:05] Koyomi
But, that is a completely different matter.
[17:08] Koyomi
I can say from the bottom of my heart
that I was better off never meeting him.
[17:12] Mayoi
Then lastly, let's walk around the bit
about Sengoku-san, who you just mentioned.
[17:17] Koyomi
Wait, what about Kanbaru?
[17:20] Mayoi
That is a different part.
[17:24] Koyomi
About Shinobu, about Hanekawa,
about Senjyogahara, and of course about Hachikuji...
[17:30] Koyomi
If I were to come across
the same situation again,
[17:32] Koyomi
I'm sure I would do the same thing
over and over again.
[17:35] Koyomi
But, no matter what I do, I can't deny
the feeling that I could have done it better.
[17:40] Mayoi
I think you are doing plenty fine,
Araragi-san.
[17:44] Mayoi
At least, everything that concerns myself.
[17:47] Koyomi
When you say that,
it gives me a small feeling of salvation.
[17:52] Koyomi
But at the least, when we're talking
about Sengoku, I failed.
[18:05] Koyomi
On the steps of the actual mountain,
when I passed by Nadeko Sengoku...
[18:09] Koyomi
Back then, I couldn't come to realize
that she was her.
[18:21] Mayoi
I don't know about that.
After all, you aren't omnipotent.
[18:25] Mayoi
You should distinguish things like that,
like Hanekawa-san.
[18:32] Mayoi
Come to think, is Ononoki-san doing well?
[18:36] Koyomi
Well, she's doing well.
[18:37] Mayoi
I see. Then, as the one who assigned her
to be my successor,
[18:42] Mayoi
it makes me want to sigh in relief.
[18:44] Koyomi
Ononoki-chan was your successor?
[18:46] Mayoi
Yes. The sanctioned successor.
SIGN SANCTIONED (KOUNIN)

[18:50] Mayoi
I'm sure she has delightful chats
unfolding around you, Araragi-san.
[18:57] Koyomi
Come to think, Ononoki-chan isn't included
in this 89-spot pilgrimage, either.
SIGN WRAP IT UP!
[19:04] Mayoi
We have time constraints as well.
[19:06] Koyomi
Time constraints?
[19:08] Mayoi
Yes. Producer Hachikuji
had to make a tough decision.
[19:11] Mayoi
Well, the anime shed a lot of light
onto Ononoki-san close up, so it's fine.
[19:15] Koyomi
You don't have to balance things out
with such a thing.
[19:19] Koyomi
Balance.
[19:22] Koyomi
That's what was on my mind.
[19:25] Koyomi
Balance.
[19:37] Koyomi
The right thing.
[19:38] Mayoi
Yes? What was that, Araragi-san?
[19:41] Koyomi
Well, I was thinking
I had a debate with the Fire Sisters,
[19:44] Koyomi
an advocate of justice,
about something like that.
[19:47] Koyomi
I suddenly was reminded of it.
[19:50] Mayoi
Well, we're almost at the pinnacle, so if
there's more you want to discuss, keep it short.
[19:55] Mayoi
Because that will most likely be
our final talk session.
[19:58] Koyomi
What?
SIGN THEN, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
[20:04] Koyomi
It was a talk about how it's difficult
to do the right thing.
[20:08] Koyomi
Most people are eager to correct mistakes
more than doing the right thing, right?
[20:14] Mayoi
Doing the right thing
and correcting mistakes are different?
[20:18] Koyomi
It's similar but different.
It's not on the mark, but pretty close.
SIGN THE ACT OF "CORRECTING A MISTAKE"
SIGN MAKES PEOPLE FEEL LIKE
SIGN THEY ARE "DOING THE RIGHT THING"—
[20:25] Koyomi
If you keep correcting mistakes...
[20:27] Koyomi
If you crush mistakes one by one,
will it be a pure white kind of right someday?
[20:33] Koyomi
If I had to pick, I'd say
it would be a pitch black kind of right.
[20:37] Koyomi
Anyways, in a nutshell,
that's what I want to know.
[20:41] Mayoi
But, if you go that route,
you won't obtain what you really want.
[20:46] Koyomi
I can't obtain...
[20:49] Koyomi
...what I really want?
[20:51] Mayoi
Because it's on the premise
that someone else is evaluating.
[20:54] Mayoi
At that rate, you'll only receive
what others give you.
[20:57] Mayoi
Of course, I'm not saying that's a bad thing
[21:00] Mayoi
If, like you, Araragi-san, one sought something
beyond reach, or something you don't deserve,
[21:05] Mayoi
such a method
would prove to be impossible.

want to talk about myself here.
[21:21] Koyomi
But well, maybe that is the case.
No, that's how it should be.
[21:26] Mayoi
You just said you weren't speaking
about yourself.
[21:30] Mayoi
Then, who were you speaking about?
[21:39] Koyomi
Was it the defenders of justice,
the Fire Sisters?
[21:42] Koyomi
Was it a story about Oshino?
[21:46] Koyomi
That's not it.
[21:47] Koyomi
Probably, what I wanted to say...
[21:50] Koyomi
What I wanted to talk about... was her.
[21:53] Koyomi
The transfer student.
[21:55] Koyomi
Meme Oshino's niece.
[21:57] Koyomi
Ougi Oshino. It was about her.
[22:01] Koyomi
Why didn't her name
cross my mind until right now?
[22:05] Koyomi
Why couldn't I remember her?
Isn't that a bit strange?
[22:09] Koyomi
She is the one who, of my past year,
[22:12] Koyomi
was the most important person
in the second half.
[22:23] Tadatsuru
Hello, Araragi-kun.
I've been waiting for you.
SIGN CHAPTER 007
[22:31] Koyomi
Wha—
[22:33] Koyomi
Wh-Why are you here?
[22:41] Mayoi
The one who notified me of "her" will
was Teori-san over there.
[22:47] Koyomi
N-Notify?
[22:48] Tadatsuru
Don't give me that look, Araragi-kun.
[22:51] Tadatsuru
I'll give you a full round of explanations.
[22:55] Koyomi
You're, I mean...
[22:57] Koyomi
a specialist who specializes in the extermination
of immortal apparitions, right?
[23:02] Tadatsuru
You don't have to worry
about that for now.
[23:05] Koyomi
What?
[23:07] Tadatsuru
From you, your vampiric nature...
[23:09] Tadatsuru
...has been subtracted.
[23:16] Koyomi
Oh, I see.
[23:18] Koyomi
So that's what Hachikuji meant
about what she said earlier.
[23:22] Koyomi
It wasn't just multiplication and division,
but there's subtraction involved as well.
[23:26] Koyomi
The subtracted number
was my vampiric nature.
[23:31] Tadatsuru
Is Yotsugi doing well? I hope she didn't
worry about the fact that she killed me.
[23:38] Tadatsuru
After all, she wasn't told
of the circumstances that we were in.
[23:42] Koyomi
What were the circumstances?
[23:46] Tadatsuru
To put it plainly...
[23:48] Tadatsuru
Being killed by Yotsugi in that manner
was the true role that had been given to me.
[23:57] Tadatsuru
To fall to hell ahead of time, and have
all preparations to resurrect you be completed.
[24:04] Tadatsuru
That was my job as a professional specialist.
SIGN MAYOI HELL - PART TWO
SIGN CHAPTER 008
[24:15] Koyomi
Huh?
SIGN FIVE MINUTES LATER
[24:26] Koyomi
You mean you feigned death?
[24:30] Tadatsuru
The individual known as me had already
passed away at a point in the distant past.
[24:36] Tadatsuru
Back then, my self that Yotsugi killed
was a puppet that I controlled.
[24:46] Koyomi
You said that Ononoki-chan
didn't know about that?
[24:50] Tadatsuru
Yup, that's right. Not just Yotsugi,
but Yoduru didn't know, either.
[24:56] Tadatsuru
The ones who knew about this technique were
[24:58] Tadatsuru
Gaen-senpai, and Meme Oshino.
Nobody else.
[25:05] Koyomi
If so, then what in the world was that farce?
[25:09] Tadatsuru
A farce? That was the best act in my book.
[25:15] Tadatsuru
I mean, dying and resurrecting.
[25:18] Tadatsuru
You could say it's my specialty
even more than it is for vampires.
[25:22] Tadatsuru
Though, strictly speaking,
I'm not really resurrecting back to life.
[25:27] Tadatsuru
I am merely possessing a doll,
[25:29] Tadatsuru
and through that medium,
I am regressing into the material world.
[25:32] Koyomi
From when?
[25:33] Tadatsuru
I became a puppeteer
[25:36] Tadatsuru
after I created the doll known as Yotsugi,
and parted ways with them.
[25:42] Tadatsuru
Whoa.
SIGN WHITE FRAME
[25:48] Tadatsuru
It seems I am being hurried.
[25:50] Tadatsuru
Allow me to explain plainly.
[25:54] Tadatsuru
I quit college, and entered this field.
[25:58] Tadatsuru
But as Gaen-senpai was glaring at me,
I couldn't really get things to go my way.
[26:04] Tadatsuru
So, the hasty decision I had come up with
was to call the forbidden technique.
[26:10] Tadatsuru
As a specialist, it's too powerful of a spell
to use, more than being a forbidden move.
[26:15] Tadatsuru
I had tried to create a doll apparition
named Tadatsuru Teori.
[26:20] Koyomi
Did that succeed?
[26:23] Tadatsuru
I failed, and what you see here is the result.
[26:27] Tadatsuru
I became something
like half-man and half-monster,
[26:30] Tadatsuru
wandering the boundaries
of the material world and the afterlife.
[26:34] Tadatsuru
Well, I say it was a failure,
but I can continue to live through my dolls.
[26:40] Tadatsuru
And since then, I succeeded
in the mass-production of the dolls.
[26:44] Tadatsuru
So, if you say I'm immortal, I'm immortal.
[26:46] Tadatsuru
If you say I'm an apparition,
I'm an apparition.
[26:49] Tadatsuru
At most, I make good use of my special
constitution to strive in my own business.
SIGN BECAUSE HE HAD SUCH A SPECIAL CONSTITUTION
SIGN HE WAS ABLE TO COME THIS FAR OUTSIDE OF GAEN-SAN'S NETWORK...
[26:56] Koyomi
Then, why did you pretend to die?
[26:59] Tadatsuru
It was last month.
[27:01] Tadatsuru
One request came flying for me
as a specialist.
[27:06] Tadatsuru
It was a request to resolve the anomalies
that were happening in your town.
[27:12] Tadatsuru
The contents of that request
had targeted you and ex-Kiss-shot.
[27:18] Tadatsuru
You guys were certified as harmless
within Gaen-senpai's network,
[27:24] Tadatsuru
but an apparition guarded by the network
was something I targeted as my top priority.
[27:30] Tadatsuru
Request or not, you were a target
that I should be on the move for.
[27:34] Koyomi
This guy took my two little sisters
and one underclassman as hostages.
[27:39] Koyomi
He pulled off such a vicious, cruel act.
SIGN BLACK FRAME
[27:44] Tadatsuru
If something had
not been done in advance,
[27:47] Tadatsuru
I wonder if I would have been
unscathed by it all.
[27:50] Koyomi
Don't say scary things like that.
[27:52] Tadatsuru
I'm the one who is scared saying this.
[27:55] Tadatsuru
To think that Suruga Kanbaru
was the daughter of the Gaen clan...
[27:59] Tadatsuru
When I think about what would've happened
if I had injured her without
[28:02] Tadatsuru
knowing anything, I start trembling.
[28:04] Tadatsuru
I'm glad that I had heard things in advance.
[28:08] Koyomi
Tadatsuru, so you had heard something
from Gaen-san before you received the request?
[28:14] Tadatsuru
No, it was someone else that was
the middleman between me and Gaen-senpai.
SIGN MIDDLEMAN
[28:22] Koyomi
To the word "middleman,"
I had one inspiration.
[28:27] Koyomi
Oshino?
SIGN OSHINO
[28:30] Koyomi
Meme Oshino?
SIGN CHAPTER 009
[28:32] Tadatsuru
Correct.
[28:33] Tadatsuru
Yes, that man
who acts as he sees through things.
[28:37] Tadatsuru
Despite being one of the leading members
of Gaen-senpai's network,
[28:40] Tadatsuru
he reached out and contacted me.
[28:43] Tadatsuru
That made me feel like
he was still a free man as ever.
[28:47] Tadatsuru
He had said that because I was outside
of Gaen-senpai's network,
[28:51] Tadatsuru
there was something I could do.
[28:54] Koyomi
And that was when you had heard
of Kanbaru's background in advance?
[28:59] Tadatsuru
Yup. And there was talk about you as well,
or should I say, talk about you guys?
[29:05] Tadatsuru
Now that I think about it, he was appealing to me
about how safe you guys were.
[29:11] Tadatsuru
By the way, I realized that he had
[29:14] Tadatsuru
seen my true identity as just a doll,
was at that time as well.
[29:18] Tadatsuru
No, now that I think about it,
maybe he was threatening me?
[29:22] Tadatsuru
Like, "if you laid a hand on my friends,
I'll disclose your true nature."
SIGN TO THINK HE HAD TAKEN COUNTERMEASURES TO PREPARE FOR A SITUATION THAT IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN
[29:34] Tadatsuru
This was the argument he had made.
[29:37] Tadatsuru
"Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino."
[29:39] Tadatsuru
"Currently, they are basically harmless."
[29:42] Tadatsuru
"As long as you leave them untouched,
there are no problems."
[29:45] Tadatsuru
"However, I'm not saying cases
that deviate from the norm don't exist."
[29:49] Tadatsuru
"The case IS where Araragi-kun colludes with
Shinobu-chan, and continues to vampirify himself."
[29:55] Tadatsuru
In other words, that man was deeply concerned
about the arrival of a situation
[30:01] Tadatsuru
where you had to do as such, Araragi-kun.
[30:03] Tadatsuru
He seemed to know you'd willingly be reckless
when it came to situations of that sort.
[30:10] Koyomi
Even if he knew...
[30:12] Tadatsuru
If such turn of events were to happen,
I may receive some sort of a request.
[30:17] Tadatsuru
A request to hunt down vampires, that is.
[30:21] Tadatsuru
He wanted me to "forget my grudges from the past,
and seek contact with Gaen-senpai."
[30:26] Tadatsuru
"And at that point, Gaen-senpai
should be waiting to hear from you."
[30:31] Tadatsuru
"Because Gaen-senpai can't move,
as she has her position to hold."
[30:35] Tadatsuru
Back then, I didn't really understand
what he was talking about.
[30:40] Tadatsuru
But in reality, things went exactly
like he thought it would go.
[30:44] Tadatsuru
And that's why, when that request came flying in,
indeed, to exterminate you guys,
[30:50] Tadatsuru
it sent shivers up my spine.
[30:53] Tadatsuru
At the same time,
I found it rather strange.
[30:56] Tadatsuru
If he was so concerned
about this turn of events,
[30:59] Tadatsuru
why didn't Oshino want to do something
about it on his own?
[31:03] Tadatsuru
That was something I became intrigued in.
[31:05] Tadatsuru
That's why I thought I'd play along
with his little arrangement.
[31:10] Tadatsuru
I contacted Gaen-senpai.
SIGN AND SO, THE CURTAIN ROSE ON THE FARCE PLAY.
SIGN CHAPTER 010
[31:24] Mayoi
Araragi-san, that's your ride
to go back to the material world.
[31:28] Mayoi
You really are running out of time.
[31:31] Mayoi
If you miss that thread, Araragi-san, you really
will continue to burn forever here in Avici.
[31:38] Mayoi
And so, Teori-san, I'm terribly sorry,
but can you cut that story out about here?
[31:44] Koyomi
No, wait, Hachikuji.
[31:47] Koyomi
It wasn't okay to just
merely turn down the request?
[31:52] Tadatsuru
"It's better for me to play along
with what the enemy intended."
[31:56] Tadatsuru
That was the conclusion
Gaen-senpai and I came to.
[32:01] Tadatsuru
I did say it was better to play along
with what they intended,
[32:04] Tadatsuru
but their intent is not something
I clearly understand.
[32:08] Tadatsuru
I'm doing this because
I want to find out what it is.
[32:11] Tadatsuru
That, and simultaneously,
[32:14] Tadatsuru
it was a measure necessary in order to stop
progression of you turning into a vampire.
[32:19] Tadatsuru
So that I can come to this side
like this, and guide you...
[32:23] Tadatsuru
Since it was right after
I played a despicable character,
[32:26] Tadatsuru
I also had to have some assistance
from Hachikuji-chan right there to pull it off.
[32:31] Mayoi
I was allowed to assist for this.

SIGN THERE WERE CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENTING THEM FROM TELLING ME IN ADVANCE
SIGN THAT PART MAY BE THE TACTIC THEY ARE TAKING AGAINST THE ENEMY
SIGN THERE'S NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW FROM MY VIEWPOINT.
[32:55] Tadatsuru
Of course, if we were to use the demon sword
"Yume Watari" to revive you
[32:59] Tadatsuru
after killing you with
the demon sword "Kokoro Watari,"
[33:02] Tadatsuru
it may revive you
just the way you were, as a vampire.
[33:06] Tadatsuru
That would have put us back
at square one.
[33:10] Tadatsuru
In order to not do that, we needed me
[33:12] Tadatsuru
to interfere as a specialist
over from the hell side of things.
[33:17] Tadatsuru
Without making that correction, there was
nothing we could do against the enemy.
[33:25] Tadatsuru
That was the mutual conclusion
that both Gaen-senpai and I came to.
[33:31] Mayoi
Let us be on our way, Araragi-san.
[33:41] Koyomi
This thing is alive.
[33:50] Koyomi
Come to think, I hadn't asked yet.
[33:52] Mayoi
Yes?
[33:53] Koyomi
I was supposedly slain at
North Shirahebi Shrine in the real world.
[33:57] Koyomi

[34:18] Koyomi
Is it "Namishiro," or "Rouhaku"?
[34:20] Tadatsuru
"Shirohebi" Park.
[34:22] Tadatsuru

is "Shirohebi" Park, if you go back to its origin.

Eh? Shirohebi?

Originally, North Shirahebi Shrine
used to be at that location.

That's why that slight shift occurred.
[34:53] Tadatsuru
You've heard the story that this shrine
was one that had been relocated, perhaps?
[34:58] Koyomi
Yeah, that's—
[35:01] Koyomi
I think it was a mistake in connection,
[35:03] Koyomi
and became a reason for distortion,
or something.
[35:06] Tadatsuru
Right, as it was something like bringing
the god of the seas on top of a mountain.
[35:11] Tadatsuru
Though, to be precise, it wasn't a sea but a lake.
[35:15] Koyomi
Lake? I think I've heard about that
from someone at some point...
[35:21] Tadatsuru
Well, you should
get on your way soon, Araragi-kun.

[35:59] Mayoi
You don't want
to go through difficult ordeals?
[36:03] Mayoi
Are you tired of it all?
[36:09] Koyomi
No.
[36:11] Koyomi
There really was a feeling
like a tense thread snapping.
[36:16] Koyomi
I didn't really have the feeling of
"I was finally able to die," either.
[36:21] Mayoi
You can only say that because
you don't know the hardships of hell.

It's not that I don't want to be resurrected,
but I feel I'm cutting in line when I shouldn't be.
[36:46] Mayoi
You do, indeed!
[36:47] Mayoi
You have the right to be resurrected.
[36:49] Mayoi
Araragi-san, you have at least
that much of a qualification.

If I'm not alive, I can't cherish girls at all.
[38:10] Mayoi
Uhm, no, that's not exactly
what I wanted to tell you.
[38:16] Koyomi
To say there was a shift
in the meaning of life...
[38:20] Koyomi
There was plenty of meaning
merely by staying alive.
[38:31] Koyomi
If you love being alive,
that's all you really needed.
[38:36] Koyomi
Because I was able to love
all sorts of things, and people.
[38:40] Mayoi
When you say that in this context,
it may be a bit misleading.
[38:46] Tadatsuru
If I give the signal from this end, Gaen-senpai
will pull you up from her end. That's about it.
[38:53] Koyomi
Got it.

I'm much obliged, Tadatsuru.
[38:58] Koyomi

Even then, I'm much obliged
for this particular case.

Someday, when we have time,
I'd like to settle down and talk with you again.

What?

I'm going back to the banks of hell
to pile stones up every day.
[39:42] Mayoi
Perhaps I may reincarnate as the child
of you and Senjyogahara-san.

[40:23] Koyomi
But, at the least, I am being
resurrected by shoving Hachikuji aside.
[40:29] Koyomi
To part with Mayoi Hachikuji...

[40:35] Koyomi
H-Hachikuji!

[41:20] Izuko
You always are someone who goes

can you please ask this scary,
beautiful lady to pull back her claws?

Hey, you.
[41:37] Kiss-shot
Hmph. Well, I guess both needless killings
and futile gashes have been avoided.

Though, it was the first time for me
to see "Yume Watari" activate.
[42:08] Kiss-shot
You fool, you made me worry.
[42:11] Kiss-shot

[42:20] Koyomi
Hey, Shinobu. This is really bad
no matter how you think about it, right?
[42:24] Koyomi
Did once again, Hachikuji fulfill the conditions
for the "darkness" to be triggered?
[42:28] Izuko
And I'm saying that's why
you made a fine play, Koyomin.
[42:32] Izuko
Thanks to Koyomin's miracle here,
[42:35] Izuko
it looks like we'll be able to take
a slight advantage in the battles to come.
[42:38] Izuko
The lost girl.
She's a pawn that I had been wanting.
[42:43] Izuko
But with how things are turning out,
[42:44] Izuko
it looks like I must request help
for a little while longer.
[42:53] Izuko
For now, Koyomin, I want you
to head over to your entrance exams.
[42:57] Izuko
If you head over now, you'll still make it.
[42:59] Izuko
Do your best.
[43:00] Koyomi
Well, I will do my best.
[43:06] Izuko
Koyomin, I'll have you working for me
starting tomorrow.
[43:09] Izuko
Everything will be over
before the graduation ceremony.
[43:12] Izuko
I have all of my weapons now.
[43:14] Izuko
Let's settle the score, Koyomin.
[43:17] Izuko
Strangely enough, tomorrow is White Day, right?
[43:20] Izuko
It's the perfect timing to end the story of this town,
where a white snake once reigned.
[43:27] Izuko
We're starting our counterattack!
