**[00:06] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;R-Returned? To this town?<br>**[00:10] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah. Back when I was in college,<br>**[00:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought of using a spell of resurrection<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and a corpse that had been in use for 100 years<br>**[00:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to create the immortal shikigami apparition<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;named Yotsugi Ononoki.<br>**[00:21] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That was exactly 15 years ago.<br>**[00:23] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And the phoenix found its next host<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;around then as well...<br>**[00:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's why he, the ashes that make up the first one,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gathered to this town right around then.<br>**[00:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's what Big Sister here thinks happened.<br>**[00:38] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIFTEEN YEARS AGO<br>**[00:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Speaking of 15 years ago,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there's one more thing I can associate it with.*<br>**[00:45] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Tsubasa Hanekawa became "Tsubasa Hanekawa"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sometime around when she was three years old.*<br>**[00:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Which means, that'd be<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about 15 years ago, right?*<br>**[00:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Tsukumo-gami.*<br>**[00:56] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Phoenix.*<br>**[00:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Cat...*<br>**[00:58] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No, if I start saying that,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;there's no need to focus soley on 15 years ago.*<br>**[01:04] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*If that's the story, then you can think<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the time between 15 years ago and now*<br>**[01:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*not as a specific moment,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but as a span.*<br>**[01:11] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*As of 11 years ago,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lost on its way was... a snail.*<br>**[01:14] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Seven years ago,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a wish was granted by... a monkey.*<br>**[01:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Three years ago,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;what took away some weight was... a crab.*<br>**[01:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Even the snake just two months ago<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would fall under this category as well.*<br>**[01:24] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It can't be...<br>**[01:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of the numerous stories of apparitions<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that have been told in this town<br>**[01:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASH<br>**[01:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are because that ash or whatever<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;came drifting along with the wind?<br>**[01:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course not.<br>**[01:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yoduru and company making Yotsugi<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wasn't something that happened in this town.<br>**[01:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASH COW CAT BEE SNAKE MONKEY<br>**[01:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's merely a distant cause.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess you can call it a suggestive code.<br>**[01:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, all the apparitions<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you've encountered are all your fault.<br>**[01:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You can't evade responsibility.<br>**[01:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However, during spring break,<br>**[01:53] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the fact that Kiss-shot Acerola-orion<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heart-under-blade visited this town...<br>**[02:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...definitely had something to do<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with that ash.<br>**[02:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OWARIMONOGATARI<br>**[02:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SHINOBU MAIL, PART FOUR<br>**[02:11] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're speaking nonsense.<br>**[02:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And you call yourself the younger sister<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of that Hawaiian shirt boy?<br>**[02:16] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I MEAN, THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE<br>**[02:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The reason I visited this country back then<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;was because I wanted to see Mount Fuji.<br>**[02:23] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But this mountain isn't Mount Fuji.<br>**[02:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prefecture isn't Shizuoka or Yamanashi.<br>**[02:29] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you get lost on your way?<br>**[02:31] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Or was it because three vampire hunters<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;were chasing you?<br>**[02:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's not it. You didn't get lost.<br>**[02:36] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You were guided here... to this town.<br>**[02:40] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Guided...<br>**[02:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What can I say. All of the things<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that have tossed me around were...*<br>**[02:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*...well, converging on this one man.*<br>**[02:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That manner in which<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gaen spoke was disgusting.*<br>**[02:54] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No. It's simply unpleasant.*<br>**[02:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What's with this feeling?<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's as if... I'm feeling jealous.*<br>**[03:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Impossible.<br>**[03:03] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such a thing is impossible.<br>**[03:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He died. He's dead.<br>**[03:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He wasn't persuaded by my words,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and threw away his own life.<br>**[03:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's a huge idiot.<br>**[03:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What you're saying is nothing more<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;than a farfetched interpretation.<br>**[03:17] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't make fun of my lack<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of a sense of direction.<br>**[03:20] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You seem to be asserting yourself<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pretty strongly there, Shinobu.<br>**[03:24] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's as if you'd be troubled if the man<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who was the first one was still alive, you know?<br>**[03:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your beloved slave was still alive,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and if he was about to be resurrected,<br>**[03:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that would be cause for congratulations.<br>**[03:38] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONGRATULATIONS<br>**[03:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If anything, I can arrange a party<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or something, you know?<br>**[03:43] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't overstep your bounds, specialist.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't cross into a delicate area for me.<br>**[03:48] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you claim to know<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about the events 400 years ago?<br>**[03:52] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I know everything...<br>**[03:55] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's nothing I don't know.<br>**[03:57] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Changing the rendezvous point from the park<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the shrine has its appropriate reason as well.<br>**[04:00] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CHANGE —> NORTH SHIRAHEBI SHRINE<br>**[04:02] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can I ask one question, Ms. Izuko?<br>**[04:05] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, Ms. Suruga Kanbaru.<br>**[04:07] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, when this guy drifted into this town 15 years ago,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he was already basically just ashes, right?<br>**[04:13] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, how, and with what catalyst,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;did that cycle end,<br>**[04:16] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with him revealing himself to Araragi-senpai<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as an armor-clad samurai like that?<br>**[04:22] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you think is the reason,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Suruga Kanbaru?<br>**[04:26] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have no idea.<br>**[04:28] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But that reason has something to do with<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;why you changed the rendezvous point, right?<br>**[04:32] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're sharp.<br>**[04:34] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You truly have talent<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's a shame to keep out in the wild.<br>**[04:38] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I might only be thinking that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;because I'm often consulted as a senpai.<br>**[04:44] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I do wish, Ms. Suruga Kanbaru,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that you'd support this upperclassman right here.<br>**[04:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIMELINE<br>**[04:50] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fifteen years ago was when he -<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the first one -

Various specialists, all quirky and distinctive,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;came to this town for similar reasons.<br>**[11:30] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But the reports of their investigations<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;came to me.<br>**[11:33] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EVEN STILL, I'M AMAZING.<br>**[11:35] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of that, as the result of the close review<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the information submitted by each of them,<br>**[11:39] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I came to understand<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that there was a strange chain of events,<br>**[11:42] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a certain situation,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;happening in this town as of 15 years ago.<br>**[11:47] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And so, I sent Yotsugi to this town once again.<br>**[11:51] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her job was to clean up the ashes.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Simply put, cleaning up the shrine.<br>**[11:56] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*On the last day of summer break,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;when she bumped into me in town,*<br>**[12:01] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*she didn't seem to know what her mission was.*<br>**[12:03] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*But after that, she was given a mission<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that resembled the story of Cinderella?*<br>**[12:08] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*But in the end, this means all of that failed, right?*<br>**[12:12] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Would Ononoki even fail a mission?*<br>**[12:15] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*She's the one that saved<br>
