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.

[03:31] Mayoi     Yes, that's right. [03:34] Koyomi     Mayoi Hachikuji? [03:36] Mayoi     Yes, I'm Mayoi Hachikuji. [03:41] Koyomi     Now wait, hold on. [03:42] Koyomi     Don't panic. SIGN    ARARAGI SIGN    KOYOMI [03:44] Koyomi     Right, just remember... [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.

[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!

[07:22] Koyomi     That's right. After I parted ways with you, SIGN    SEISHIROU SHISHIRUI [07:24] Koyomi     Shinobu's first minion showed up, [07:27] Koyomi     Oikura returned, SIGN    SODACHI OIKURA [07:29] Koyomi     Sengoku had all that happen     to her here at this shrine, SIGN    NADEKO SENGOKU SIGN    DEISHU KAIKI [07:32] Koyomi     I bumped into Kaiki, SIGN    KOYOMI ARARAGI [07:34] Koyomi     I turned into a vampire on my own, [07:36] Koyomi     that and I had Ononoki-chan     kill one of her own creators, SIGN    YOTSUGI ONONOKI SIGN    SURUGA KANBARU [07:40] Koyomi     oh right, that was here at this shrine, too. SIGN    KAREN ARARAGI / TSUKIHI ARARAGI SIGN    YODURU KAGENUI [07:44] 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     This place, Araragi-san... [10:08] Mayoi     is Hell. [10:10] Koyomi     What? [10:11] Mayoi     The bottommost layer of hell     among all hells... [10:16] Mayoi     Avici Hell. SIGN    CHAPTER 004 [10:23] Koyomi     Hell? Hell? Avici Hell? SIGN    SANJIVA / KALASUTRA / SAMGHATA /     RAURAVA / MAHARAURAVA / TAPANA [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) SIGN    SUCCESSOR (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. SIGN    MAKING MANY MISTAKES SIGN    HAVING MANY FAILURES SIGN    DOING THINGS OVER REPEATING THINGS SIGN    HESITATING STAMPING ONE'S FEET IN FRUSTRATION SIGN    REPEATING BY TRIAL AND ERROR SIGN    AND BEYOND LOUD PROTESTS— [21:12] Mayoi     The only thing you can do is succeed, right? [21:16] Koyomi     It's not like I didn't particularly     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    KOYOMI ARARAGI TADATSURU TEORI [32:33] Mayoi     It's in the parenthesis, cameo appearance. [32:35] Mayoi     It shows up     at the end of the ending credits. SIGN    MAYOI HACHIKUJI (CAMEO APPEARANCE) [32:39] Koyomi     So kill once to reset, and resurrect just     the "human" part of my physical body, huh? SIGN    IF SO, THEN, IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE SIGN    IF THEY TOLD ME IN ADVANCE, SIGN    BUT IF THEY DIDN'T TELL ME, THAT MEANS 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     Why did I wake up     in that park over in hell? [34:00] Mayoi     That bothers you that much? [34:02] Koyomi     It's not enough to bother me per se, but... SIGN    NO. SIGN    I KNOW. I'M JUST DELAYING. SIGN    TO CLIMB THIS WHITE SNAKE— TO RESURRECT BACK INTO LIFE. SIGN    I'M DELAYING IT FURTHER AND FURTHER SIGN    PARK [34:10] Koyomi     About the shift, well, I don't care. [34:12] Koyomi     But, if you know what the name     of that park is, I'd like to know. SIGN    NAMISHIRO [34:18] Koyomi     Is it "Namishiro," or "Rouhaku"? [34:20] Tadatsuru     "Shirohebi" Park. [34:22] Tadatsuru     The correct way to read the name     is "Shirohebi" Park, if you go back to its origin. [34:26] Koyomi     Eh? Shirohebi? SIGN    HEBI (SNAKE) [34:29] Tadatsuru     It's not the "insect" radical,     but the "water" radical. SIGN    HEBI [34:32] Tadatsuru     Shirohebi. SIGN    SHIROHEBI [34:34] Tadatsuru     Somewhere along the way,     someone miswrote and HEBI turned into NAMI. [34:38] Tadatsuru     It's why the location became hard to read. SIGN    HEBI SIGN    NAMI [34:41] Koyomi     Wait, "shirohebi"... [34:43] Koyomi     ...North "Shirahebi" Shrine. SIGN    NORTH SHIRAHEBI SHRINE [34:46] Tadatsuru     Yup. That's what it means. [34:48] Tadatsuru     Originally, North Shirahebi Shrine     used to be at that location. [34:51] Tadatsuru     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. [35:25] Tadatsuru     Please give my regards     to Gaen-senpai. And to Yotsugi. [35:29] Tadatsuru     Please cherish Yotsugi on my behalf as well. [35:32] Koyomi     Yeah, got it. [35:35] Koyomi     But is it all right     for someone like me to resurrect? SIGN    CHAPTER 011 [35:44] Koyomi     Hachikuji! [35:47] Mayoi     "Is it all right     for someone like me to resurrect?" [35:50] Mayoi     What kind of a statement is that? [35:56] Mayoi     What, Araragi-san.     Are you chickening out? [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. [36:24] Mayoi     You really are quite fortunate     merely because you can be resurrected. SIGN    FORTUNATE [36:31] Koyomi     But I feel like there are tons of other people     who deserve to be resurrected more than me. [36:37] Koyomi     Is it all right for me to be resurrected? [36:40] Koyomi     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. [36:52] Mayoi     Because you've done     at least that much to begin with! [36:55] Mayoi     Yes, you have. I know all too well! [37:02] Mayoi     If you're not being resurrected,     who are you saying should be resurrected? [37:05] Mayoi     Without a doubt,     you are the first person in line! [37:10] Mayoi     If you say weak-minded things so much,     I might end up hating you. [37:21] Mayoi     Listen up, Araragi-san. [37:23] Mayoi     The Araragi-san that I know... [37:26] Mayoi     loves girls, loves young girls, loves little girls,     loves the skirt linings, loves women's hips, [37:31] Mayoi     loves big boobs, loves to be handled roughly,     loves his older little sister, [37:35] Mayoi     loves his younger little sister, loves mature women,     loves toplessness, loves bloomers, [37:40] Mayoi     loves school-issued swimsuits,     loves class reps, [37:42] Mayoi     loves girls who use "boku,"     loves cat ears, loves girls playing sports... [37:46] Koyomi     Hold on a second. [37:47] Koyomi     Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it! [37:49] Koyomi     My heart is about to completely snap right now. [37:54] Mayoi     And you were someone who loves to be alive. SIGN    IT WAS SO OBVIOUS THAT I HAD FORGOTTEN. SIGN    I CAME TO THE BRINK OF DEATH MANY, MANY TIMES— AND EACH TIME, I NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH SIGN    BECAUSE OF THAT, I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. [38:04] Koyomi     You're right. [38:06] Koyomi     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. [38:54] Koyomi     I'm much obliged, Tadatsuru. [38:58] Koyomi     Tadatsuru-san. [38:59] Tadatsuru     No need to be formal     after all we've been through. [39:02] Tadatsuru     As long as you continue to attempt protecting     Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, [39:07] Tadatsuru     ...you will be my enemy. [39:11] Koyomi     Even then, I'm much obliged     for this particular case. [39:15] Koyomi     I never thought I'd be able     to chat with you like this. [39:19] Koyomi     Someday, when we have time,     I'd like to settle down and talk with you again. [39:25] Tadatsuru     If you don't mind doing so     while we kill each other. [39:31] Koyomi     Hachikuji.     What are you going to do from here? [39:34] Mayoi     What? [39:35] Mayoi     Me? After I see you off, Araragi-san, [39:39] Mayoi     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. [39:48] Koyomi     That's pretty heavy. [39:50] Mayoi     Now then. [39:55] Koyomi     I'm good. Send me off at any time. [39:58] Tadatsuru     Then, let's countdown. [40:01] Tadatsuru     10... 9... [40:03] Tadatsuru     8... [40:04] Tadatsuru     7... [40:05] Tadatsuru     6...

Hachikuji said the first person     who should be resurrected is me. [40:23] Koyomi     But, at the least, I am being     resurrected by shoving Hachikuji aside. [40:29] Koyomi     To part with Mayoi Hachikuji... [40:32] Koyomi     How many times does this make? [40:35] Koyomi     H-Hachikuji! [40:46] Tadatsuru     Oh, Araragi-kun, one more thing! [40:50] Tadatsuru     I'll tell you the name of the "enemy"     who requested me to exterminate you! [40:57] Tadatsuru     Ougi. [40:59] Tadatsuru     Ougi Oshino. SIGN    CHAPTER 012 [41:05] Koyomi     This is the epilogue,     or the punch line for this episode. [41:16] Izuko     Really... [41:17] Izuko     To bring Hachikuji-chan with you, Koyomin. [41:20] Izuko     You always are someone who goes     way beyond any of my expectations. [41:25] Izuko     But for now, Koyomin, [41:27] Izuko     can you please ask this scary,     beautiful lady to pull back her claws? [41:32] Kiss-shot     Hey, you. [41:37] Kiss-shot     Hmph. Well, I guess both needless killings     and futile gashes have been avoided. [41:42] Kiss-shot     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     And, you abducted a young girl from hell.     You really are reckless. [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!
