[00:06] ---
There's no reason to have
such an uneasy look on your face, second one.
[00:10] ---
I'm a specialist.
[00:13] ---
Though times have changed,
as a warrior,
[00:15] ---
I don't ignore signatures
left by those in the trade.
[00:23] ---
"This is my prey, so hands off."
[00:26] ---
A sign used among specialists
to mean something along those lines.
[00:29] ---
As long as that's there,
I can't raise a hand against you.
[00:33] ---
If you didn't have that...
[00:38] ---
There's no way I'd let a vampire live,
even for a moment.
[00:42] ---
IT WAS WORTH GETTING STOMPED ON
BY A LITTLE GIRL.
[00:44] ---
Here should be fine.
[00:48] ---
We can take our time to chat here.
[00:55] ---
I believe your name was Koyomi Araragi?
[00:58] ---
I guess I should call you Sir Araragi.
[01:03] ---
I'll be straightforward, Sir Araragi.
[01:08] ---
I want you to break up with Kiss-shot.
[02:10] ---

SHINOBU MAIL, PART FIVE
[02:19] ---
My objective is...
[02:21] ---
Kiss-Shot.
[02:23] ---
To make amends with the one
you call Shinobu Oshino.
[02:27] ---
M-Make—
[02:28] ---
Amends.
[02:31] ---
I ended things with Kiss-shot
with an argument.
[02:34] ---
A momentary delusion caused me
to hurl some inconsiderate words at Kiss-shot.
[02:40] ---
I'd like to apologize for that
and seek her forgiveness.
[02:44] ---
And like we did in the past...
[02:45] ---
I'd like to fight apparitions
together with her.
[02:49] ---
As beautiful as a goddess...
so beautiful that your spine freezes...
[02:53] ---
I'd like to protect her back,
and be the sword that fights for her.
[03:00] ---
You may not understand, but...
[03:03] ---
I can't help but think you're only saying that
to get close to Shinobu to get revenge.
[03:08] ---
Revenge? What revenge
is this revenge you speak of?
[03:12] ---
Are you saying I have a reason
to hold a grudge against her?
[03:15] ---
A reason to hold a grudge...
[03:17] ---
There is.
[03:19] ---
Don't fool yourself by saying
something like "a momentary delusion."
[03:22] ---
You said some really harsh words to Shinobu.
[03:25] ---
Yes, I won't deny that part.
That's why I want to apologize.
[03:30] ---
I want to see her in person and apologize.
[03:34] ---
She only needs to have one minion.
[03:40] ---
She brought me back from near death.
[03:43] ---
I was upset at the time,
but nowadays, I truly appreciate it.
[03:48] ---
Is what I'm saying all that strange?
[03:52] ---
The fact he's saying it feels strange.
But I can't deny the statement itself...
[03:59] ---
Because I've basically done the same thing.
[04:03] ---
I guess you wouldn't want to break up.
[04:05] ---
However, anyone can be your replacement,
but nobody can replace me.
[04:11] ---
Because I'm special. I'm the chosen one.
[04:15] ---
I idolize lines like that.
I'd like to say something like that for once...
[04:20] ---
It's way too presumptuous, though,
so I'd never be able to say it.
[04:30] ---
Sparks flying between us will benefit no one.
[04:34] ---
In the end, this is just like
two men fighting over one woman.
[04:40] ---
A fight between two minions is something
not even apparitions would gobble up.
[04:53] ---
Then what should we do?
[04:55] ---
Are we going to praise each other
from now on?
[04:57] ---
That would be such a hideous sight.
[04:59] ---
Therefore, I shall propose
something of merit for you.
[05:02] ---
Sir Araragi, I'll let you know what benefits
you'll see if you break up with Kiss-shot.
[05:08] ---
Meanwhile, you can think about what benefits
I'll see if you don't break up with Kiss-shot.
[05:15] ---
M-Merit? Benefits?
[05:17] ---
If you break up with Kiss-shot for me,
you'll be liberated from Kiss-shot.
[05:23] ---
In other words, all the responsibility
that you feel for Kiss-shot right now
[05:28] ---
can be placed on none other
than my shoulders instead.
[05:32] ---
I did relay your message.
[05:36] ---
She didn't seem to have any intention
of seeing you, though.
[05:42] ---
I see. Well, I guess that's how it would be.
[05:45] ---
But well, no matter what Kiss-shot's intention is,
I need her to return what I lent her.
[05:53] ---
My sword, and my position.
[05:59] ---
I want to flourish once again.
[06:02] ---
After these 400 years,
I want to sparkle one more time.
[06:06] ---
I don't find this to be disgraceful.
[06:11] ---
Don't you want to flourish again,
not as Shinobu's minion, but as a human?
[06:16] ---
The fact that you want to see Shinobu,
even if revenge wasn't the objective,
[06:19] ---
perhaps you want to be human.
[06:21] ---
I can no longer return to being human.
[06:24] ---
It's been 400 years after all.
Too much time has passed.
[06:27] ---
Looking at things from that perspective,
I'm different from you.
[06:33] ---
Well, I no longer see it
as something sad.
[06:36] ---
Because I can't make it in time,
that's why I can, for half an eternity,
[06:40] ---
spend my time with Kiss-shot.
[06:44] ---
You may be thinking
that's something similar to pure love...
[06:47] ---
But in modern society,
people like you are called "stalkers."
[06:51] ---
As I said, let us stop insulting each other.
[06:54] ---
Besides, have you thought of anything?
[06:57] ---
If you don't break up with Kiss-shot,
what benefit will there be for me?
[07:16] ---
You shouldn't drink something given to you
by the enemy without doubting it first.
[07:22] ---
If you were tricked into drinking holy water,
[07:24] ---
even though your pairing is severed for now,
you'd be a goner.
[07:29] ---
Totally makes me laugh.
[07:33] ---
Looks like we've been interrupted, Sir Araragi.
[07:38] ---
The story would've progressed much faster
[07:39] ---
if you had drank the goblet of poison,
or rather, the chalice.
[07:44] ---
It wouldn't have been ignoring
the signature on you, either,
[07:47] ---
if you were purified by your own will.
[07:50] ---
Don't get upset, minion of Heart-under-blade.
[07:53] ---
When it comes to defeating apparitions,
anything goes.
[07:56] ---
Foul play and ambushes
are among the proper methodologies.
[08:04] ---
Looks like we made it in time. Good.
[08:08] ---
Nice to meet you, first one.
[08:11] ---
I'm Izuko Gaen.
[08:13] ---
A big sister that knows everything.
I came here to negotiate with you.
[08:18] ---
Sir Araragi, it seems our conversation
has come to an end.
[08:22] ---
I shall excuse myself now.
[08:24] ---
We couldn't find
a point of compromise between us.
[08:27] ---
In this case, our relationship
must move to the next phase.
[08:32] ---
Conversation?
[08:34] ---
It's time to duel.
[08:37] ---
Tonight, we fight to the death.
[08:41] ---
I'll leave the logistics
to those specialists over there.
[08:44] ---
Until then, I'll try to recover to as close
to maximum potential as possible.
[08:49] ---
Sir Araragi, you should get the signature
removed from your face.
[08:53] ---
I won't run, nor will I hide.
[08:58] ---
Ru—
[08:59] ---
WHY AREN'T EPISODE AND GAEN GOING AFTER HIM?
[09:07] ---
Th-That's not what it looks like!

BRA DONUTS
BOOK BOOK
[09:29] ---
Devil boy, shh.
[09:31] ---
O-Ononoki...
[09:32] ---
By the time I got here,
things were already like that.
[09:37] ---
They were already like that?
[09:43] ---
Hey.
[09:45] ---
I'll admit you've got some nerve.
[09:47] ---
The courage you show by not taking
even one step back while facing me
[09:50] ---
makes me think satisfactorily of you
as my master's underclassman.
[09:54] ---
So I won't be emotional,
and as an adult that has lived for 500 years,
[09:58] ---
I'll be very tolerant of a brat.
[10:01] ---
If you're willing to take back
what you said earlier,
[10:04] ---
I can forget the various exchanges
that have gone on here.
[10:08] ---
If you apologize, I'll forgive you.
[10:11] ---
I won't take it back. I won't apologize.
[10:14] ---
I'll say it again and again.
[10:15] ---
Shinobu. You should meet him.
[10:19] ---
You should go meet that first apparition killer!
[10:35] ---
To end things without seeing your previous partner,
who's revived after 400 years of trying...
[10:40] ---
That's not a good thing.
[10:42] ---
That's a terrible thing.
[10:44] ---
That isn't the right thing to do.
[10:50] ---
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[10:53] ---
If, as a human, you want to lecture me,
speak with at least a smidgeon of logic.
[10:58] ---
Like I know anything about logic!
[11:00] ---
You should stop making excuses
and go see him!
[11:03] ---
This man spent 400 years reviving himself
just so he could see you!
[11:06] ---
Why won't you meet with him?
[11:08] ---
I've been telling you,
you've misunderstood.
[11:11] ---
He didn't revive due to
that sort of silly emotional reason.
[11:16] ---
The dispersed ashes gathered
and became excited, as if they were magnets.
[11:20] ---
It's a natural phenomenon.
[11:21] ---
The feeling of falling in love
with someone is natural, too!
[11:25] ---
Don't deny someone's
feelings of love for you!
[11:27] ---
I'm telling you...
[11:30] ---
You really don't get it at all!
It really is nothing like that.
[11:35] ---
A vampire's minion...
[11:36] ---
The vampire master/servant relationship
[11:39] ---
isn't something you speak of
in terms of love or hate, you romance-brain!
[11:46] ---
"The master/servant relationship
isn't about love or hate."
[11:49] ---
Can you say that
in front of Araragi-senpai as well?
[11:54] ---
It's just like what I told my master back then.
[11:58] ---
For me as I am now, the only partner
I can call my minion is your upperclassman.
[12:03] ---
For my current self...
[12:06] ---
Shinobu, you say you don't understand
what I'm saying.
[12:10] ---
But that's what I don't understand.
[12:12] ---
What I don't like about all of this
is that right there.
[12:20] ---
You make it sound as if
you're only allowed to have one minion.
[12:24] ---
For instance, isn't it possible for you,
Araragi-senpai and that first apparition killer
[12:29] ---
to get along amiably as a trio?
[12:32] ---
As a trio?
[12:35] ---
What, are you being cheeky
and saying we should make amends?
[12:39] ---
I don't care if you make amends or not.
[12:42] ---
If you're saying you'd choose Araragi-senpai
over the first apparition killer, that's fine.
[12:48] ---
But you have to be the one
that tells him that.
[12:52] ---
You shouldn't rely on Izuko or Araragi-senpai
to convey the message to him for you.
[12:55] ---
You don't know anything
about the situation.
[12:58] ---
You don't know about
my relationship with him.
[13:00] ---
No, you probably don't even know anything about
my relationship with my current master, do you?
[13:07] ---
It's true that I don't. But I can tell.
[13:11] ---
About the feelings of being the first one,
and of being the second one.
[13:17] ---
In Kanbaru's mind, the first apparition killer's
feelings resonate more with her.
[13:22] ---
The feeling of paranoia...
as if it was pure love.
[13:25] ---
Even if I were to see him now,
there's nothing I can say to him.
[13:31] ---
Look at reality, monkey-girl.
[13:33] ---
Now that he's basically the tale of apparitions
that fill this town nowadays,
[13:38] ---
he has no choice
but to become prey for the specialists.
[13:40] ---
I know that. That's why—
[13:42] ---
That's why?
[13:43] ---
That's all the more reason
for me to go see him, you say?
[13:46] ---
That man harbors a grudge against me.
[13:49] ---
If I see him, I may be killed.
[13:51] ---
Apparently he's asking for me
to return the demon blade.
[13:54] ---
The ones to get slain by that blade
may not only be us.
[13:57] ---
With all that in mind—
[13:59] ---
With all that in mind,
I'm telling you that you should go see him.
[14:03] ---
That's why logic doesn't matter at all!
[14:05] ---
Why do people refuse
to see others like that?
[14:08] ---
It's complete nonsense!
[14:10] ---
Everything's complete nonsense
unless someone goes and meets someone else!
[14:13] ---
You can't make any stories that way!
[14:16] ---
You should just be blunt
and say it, Shinobu.
[14:19] ---
That you're scared.
That you're scared of seeing him.
[14:22] ---
That you don't want your emotions swayed
by meeting with and talking to him.
[14:26] ---
You feel that seeing him
is like betraying Araragi-senpai,
[14:31] ---
so you don't intend
to see him ever again.
[14:35] ---
But that's not true.
[14:37] ---
The only one you're betraying is yourself.
[14:43] ---
You should just tell him
[14:44] ---
that a love that takes 400 years to return
is too heavy for you.
[14:48] ---
That you're troubled to see him return to life
now that you're doing well with Araragi-senpai.
[14:54] ---
That his feelings are nothing but a nuisance.
[14:56] ---
That he should've just stayed dead.
[15:01] ---
Just say it. If you can't say that...
[15:03] ---
Don't speak about masters
and lords and stuff.
[15:06] ---
That's not being aloof, nor is it noble.
[15:09] ---
You're simply being bashful.
[15:15] ---
What's with a master and servant relationship?
[15:18] ---
You don't have the right to own a slave,
nor the right to serve under a master.
[15:22] ---
Ka...
[15:23] ---
You have no right to form a relationship.
[15:26] ---
Ka ka.
[15:32] ---
Why interlock the fingers?
[15:34] ---
Whoa, made a mistake.
Thought you were Senjyogahara.
[15:36] ---
You're the worst.
[15:38] ---
Hold on just a bit longer, Ononoki.
[15:41] ---
Why? The situation is already pretty bad.
[15:43] ---
Even so.
[15:45] ---
Ka ka ka.
[15:47] ---
Ka ka ka.
[15:49] ---
Do you want those to be
your dying words?
[15:51] ---
I feel like crushing your head right now,
even if it makes everything for naught.
[15:57] ---
Do it, then.
[15:59] ---
I'm not going to apologize.
[16:01] ---
Do it, and then you can start to feel awkward
with Araragi-senpai.
[16:05] ---
Just like how you're avoiding
the first apparition killer right now,
[16:07] ---
you're going to start avoiding
Araragi-senpai.
[16:10] ---
Just like how you made him
a story of your past,
[16:13] ---
you can turn Araragi-senpai
into a story of the past, in the future.
[16:17] ---
Like how you dismissed the first one,
you'll someday dismiss the second one.
[16:20] ---
You can't face the first one directly,
so there's no way you can with the second one.
[16:24] ---
Or the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one.
You can keep saying goodbye to people forever.
[16:29] ---
Forever...
[16:30] ---
You're immortal, right?
Araragi-senpai said that at some point.
[16:34] ---
"If Shinobu is going to die tomorrow,
I'm fine with my life ending tomorrow."
[16:39] ---
But I'm sure you wouldn't
say something like that.
[16:42] ---
Even if you did...
You'd say the same thing to the third one.
[16:45] ---
And the fourth one. And the fifth one.
[16:48] ---
You'll continue to say it forever,
and continue to live on forever.
[16:56] ---
Don't think that being sociable like you
is a trait everyone has.
[16:59] ---
Earlier, you stated
I was simply being bashful...
[17:02] ---
But isn't the feeling that
you don't want to see anyone also natural?
[17:06] ---
That's unnatural.
[17:07] ---
It's possible that someone
won't get along with others,
[17:10] ---
but it's never that they
don't see anyone.
[17:11] ---
I'm not human.
[17:14] ---
That might be, based on how you're acting.
[17:19] ---
Even if I were to see him, you realize
there's nothing I can say to him right now?
[17:24] ---
We parted harboring hatred, and we parted
by death harboring hatred. That's our relationship.
[17:28] ---
I have no intention of getting back together,
and I have no intention of making a friendly trio.
[17:32] ---
I've no intention of lining the first one
and second one up to talk about them.
[17:36] ---
I feel that the act of comparison
in of itself is rude to my master.
[17:42] ---
What meaning is there in showing
how amiable I am with my master right now?
[17:48] ---
By showing that man
I have no feelings for him now whatsoever...
[17:52] ---
What meaning is there?
You wish for me to do something so cruel?
[17:56] ---
Yeah. I'm telling you to do something cruel.
[18:00] ---
It's your job to hurt the man from your past.
[18:04] ---
You want to be liked, and on top of it,
stay a good person?
[18:08] ---
You want to end everything being loved?
[18:10] ---
What you're saying...
[18:12] ---
That's like saying if something is going to erode
or be worn down, it's better to just destroy it.
[18:18] ---
That's what I've been saying!
[18:22] ---
If he holds a grudge against me
and is trying to kill me,
[18:25] ---
that means I'll kill him in return.
[18:28] ---
You're still fine with that?
[18:29] ---
That's still fine.
[18:31] ---
If that's the case, then you can
respond to his feeling of hatred.
[18:34] ---
You can sever him from those feelings.
[18:37] ---
But, if you apologize
and he forgives you, in that case...
[18:39] ---
It's the same thing even then.
[18:42] ---
The moment he forgives me,
he'll be exterminated by a specialist.
[18:47] ---
You're still fine with that?
[18:48] ---
That's still fine.
[18:50] ---
That's still fine!
[18:54] ---
If your silly assumptions are correct
and he revived himself thinking of me...
[19:00] ---
I'd be able to respond to his feelings.
[19:02] ---
What I can do by meeting him
is to harshly and roughly dump him.
[19:07] ---
You're still fine with that?
[19:10] ---
That's still fine.
[19:12] ---
If I met him, and felt like I wanted
to respond to his feelings, then what?
[19:17] ---
What would you do if I chose the first apparition killer
instead of your upperclassman?
[19:21] ---
You're still fine with that?
[19:22] ---
That's still fine.
[19:25] ---
If that's the case...
[19:26] ---
If that's the case,
make a clean break with Araragi-senpai,
[19:29] ---
and you can live happily ever after
with that guy.
[19:37] ---
I have, for the first time,
seen Shinobu Oshino lose a one on one battle.
[19:44] ---
Ononoki.
[19:45] ---
I have a favor to ask you.
[19:47] ---
Can you take this stamp off of me?
[19:51] ---
If I take that off, I won't be able
to ensure your safety anymore, you know?
[19:57] ---
I want to try out this "duel" thing.
[20:04] ---
Are you done with
all the formalities or whatever?
[20:06] ---
Yeah, of course.
[20:08] ---
She definitely knows
her business in that respect.
[20:11] ---
After all that, she tracked down
the first apparition killer and properly negotiated.
[20:17] ---
Where's the location for this duel
that you guys set up for us?
[20:20] ---
Where do I need to go tonight?
[20:23] ---
Oh, that's...
[20:25] ---
A place that's very familiar to you.
[20:28] ---
And it's a place deeply connected to me, too.
[20:31] ---
Deeply connected?
[20:33] ---
The courtyard of Naoetsu Private High School.
[20:38] ---
After that fierce encouragement from Kanbaru,
Shinobu's next action...
[20:43] ---
was to pout and take a nap.
[20:45] ---
She withdrew deep into the shrine building.
[20:48] ---
The fact that a high school girl refuted her
seems to have gotten to her more than expected.
[20:56] ---
Huh? Kanbaru, what's wrong?
What are you doing lying there?
[21:00] ---
Your head's bleeding. Are you okay?
[21:04] ---
Araragi-senpai, you were watching until
a few minutes ago, so you know everything, right?
[21:07] ---
You found me out!
[21:10] ---
It's fine. Shinobu didn't notice.
[21:13] ---
So, Araragi-senpai, did you buy the book
I asked you to get me?
[21:17] ---
BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!
[21:18] ---
You're too obsessed with that book.
[21:20] ---
Just how important is this book you wanted?
[21:23] ---
At least show me the wound on your head.
[21:30] ---
Well, I guess it'll be all right.
[21:33] ---
Now, let's eat lunch, Kanbaru.
[21:35] ---
Then, I'll just read my book here like this,
so Araragi-senpai, please feed me.
[21:40] ---
Aah!
[21:41] ---
Don't "aah'" me. No upperclassman
would spoil someone that much.
[21:45] ---
What about Shinobu?
[21:50] ---
So, Araragi-senpai, what about the bra?
[21:53] ---
I bought one for you. Here you go.
[21:54] ---
BRA
[21:56] ---
Then, I'll just read my book here like this,
so Araragi-senpai, you can put it on for me.
[22:00] ---
Aah!
[22:01] ---
You totally changed the meaning of "aah" there!
[22:05] ---
Kanbaru.
[22:06] ---
By any chance,
do you have something for me?
[22:08] ---
Like, some advice
you'd risk your life to give me.
[22:13] ---
If anything, DIY.
[22:16] ---
"DIY"?
[22:18] ---
"Do your best." So yeah, do your best!
[22:21] ---
Abbreviating that would be DYB.
[22:24] ---
DIY = SUNDAY CARPENTERS
[22:24] ---
I thought DIY was "Do it yourself,"
like a weekend carpenter.
[22:27] ---
But I didn't press the issue.
[22:30] ---
Because, "Do it yourself"...
[22:32] ---
...being told I should do it myself was,
in this case, very fitting advice for me.
