[00:04] Koyomi
The present is what it is
because of Ougi Oshino.
[00:07] Koyomi
Because that mysterious girl, as if an
unknown was wrapped with unknowns,
[00:12] Koyomi
was here in our town,
[00:14] Koyomi
I, and all of us, were able to arrive
where we are now.
[00:19] Koyomi
We have the present, and
we have a future.
[00:21] Koyomi
Someday the day will come
when I can feel that way.
[00:26] Koyomi
That's just who I am.
[00:28] Koyomi
And that's just who she is.
[00:32] Koyomi
Ougi Oshino.
[00:33] Koyomi
She was a symbol of my adolescence
-- that is how I remember her.
[00:39] Koyomi
That smirking smile of hers.
[00:43] Koyomi
I'm sure that to her, my stupidity
was something she found highly amusing.
[00:48] Koyomi
I find myself laughing as well.
SIGN Koyomi Araragi
[00:50] Koyomi
I burst into laughter.
[00:54] Koyomi
So in the end, maybe this
whole thing was just a comedy.

[00:57] Koyomi
My youth,
[00:59] Koyomi
The last year I spent as
a high school student...
[01:04] Koyomi
It was painful, it was sad,
[01:06] Koyomi
it was bitter, it was ugly,
and all in all, it was a hell of a year.
[01:11] ---
Thursday, March 15th
[01:11] Koyomi
But even so, when I look
back on this someday,
[01:13] Koyomi
when I tell someone, or
everyone, about this...
[01:17] Koyomi
I know that maybe I should tell it with
a smile, like it was a simple, happy story
[01:21] Koyomi
that makes everyone who hears it laugh.
[01:24] Ougi
You "maybe" know? No, you know.
I don't know anything, though.
[01:30] Koyomi
I'm sure this is what Ougi-chan would say.
[01:33] Ougi
You know, Araragi-senpai.
[01:37] Koyomi
That's right. I had known.
[01:39] ---
Naoetsu High
[01:40] Koyomi
I'm sure I knew exactly what Ougi
Oshino was from the very beginning.
[01:45] ---
Naoetsu High School
[01:46] Koyomi
And it's hilarious.

Ougi Dark
SIGN Ougi Dark Part One
SIGN Shirohebi Park
[03:39] Mayoi
Hey, hey! The pitcher is
getting spooked!
[03:41] ---
She was wearing a skirt,
but crouching down and opening her legs like a catcher,
so you could see her panties easily.
She was really letting her guard down,
but honestly, I didn't want to see them anyway.
SIGN A rock?
SIGN They're throwing rocks and batting with swords...
SIGN What kind of baseball is this?
[03:52] Yotsugi
No.
[03:55] Yotsugi
You're going to settle
the score tonight, right?
[03:58] Koyomi
Well, yeah, but...
[04:00] Yotsugi
Now that Big Sister isn't here,
I can't be of any help to you...
[04:04] Yotsugi
But at the least, I can watch you fight
with my own eyes, Big Demo-ther.
[04:08] Yotsugi
So... let's hurry up and join that circle.
[04:12] Kiss-shot
Oh, if it isn't you, my master!
[04:31] Koyomi
H-Hachikuji...
[04:33] Mayoi
No, you did plenty of that back in hell.
Haven't you had enough, Baragaki-san?
[04:38] Koyomi
Well, that sounds really cool, but Hachikuji,
[04:41] Koyomi
don't refer to me as if I was
Toshizo Hijikata in his youth.
[04:44] Koyomi
My name is Araragi.
[04:46] Mayoi
I'm sorry, I flubbed (kami-mashita).
[04:48] Koyomi
No, that was intentional.
[04:49] Mayoi
I fwubbed.
[04:50] Koyomi
It's not intentional?
[04:52] Mayoi
I crouched.
[04:53] Koyomi
You were indeed sitting
catcher-style there, but...
[04:57] Mayoi
It's good to see you too, Ononoki-san.
Thank you for your help earlier.
[05:01] Yotsugi
Yup. I feel happy about your return.
SIGN There was a matter that I should have checked up on.
[05:13] Koyomi
What's wrong, Hachikuji?
[05:15] Mayoi
No, what's wrong with your brain?
[05:17] Mayoi
Why did you so suddenly attempt to
clutch my growing breasts?
[05:24] Koyomi
Well, I was wondering what kind of
condition you were in right now.
[05:28] Izuko
She's a phantom, just like she was
when you first met her here in this park.
[05:34] Izuko
She's a ghost.
[05:39] Koyomi
I'm sorry, Hachikuji. I wasn't
thinking when I brought you here.
[05:43] Koyomi
Come to think of it, I've made your labors piling
stones for the past six months all for naught.
[05:49] Mayoi
It's fine, Araragi-san.
Don't worry about it.
[05:53] Mayoi
I've already settled things with
Gaen-san concerning that.
[05:58] Koyomi
Settled things?
[06:00] Izuko
Well, we can discuss all that in
the briefing. Let's get started.
[06:05] Izuko
For the moment, Koyomin, can you give orders
to your now-mature, beautiful slave girl,
[06:09] Izuko
and have her stop bullying my
junior colleague shikigami?
[06:14] Kiss-shot
There, there, there!
[06:22] Koyomi
She seems to be doing what
Ononoki-chan feared.
[06:24] Koyomi
Getting revenge for all of the insults she
received back in the summer.
SIGN Shinobu Oshino The complete form of the legendary vampire who flew in from overseas.
SIGN Mayoi Hachikuji A ghost that returned from hell.
SIGN Yotsugi Ononoki A shikigami corpse doll whose master has ran away.
SIGN Izuko Gaen The leader of a group of specialists who defeat apparitions.
SIGN And me, Koyomi Araragi, once human, previously vampire, and currently human.
SIGN Stop it, Hachikuji. Don't look at me like that.
[06:55] Izuko
All right. It's time for your big sister
[06:58] Izuko
to tell you about the plan she spent
the last few days working on.
[07:01] Izuko
Koyomin, did you bring it as I asked?
[07:05] Koyomi
I did bring it.
[07:07] Koyomi
But this belonged to you in the first place,
Gaen-san, so I wanted to return it to you.
[07:15] Izuko
Mm, indeed. It has been preserved well.
[07:19] Izuko
It looks like you took
very good care of it.
[07:23] Izuko
Ougi Oshino.
[07:25] Izuko
That is the enemy who we are
going to face right now.
[07:29] Izuko
The opponent we must fight, the target we
must eliminate, and the focus of our hatred.
[07:34] Izuko
Isn't that right, Koyomin?
[07:41] Izuko
Naturally, this is the
most important point.
[07:44] Izuko
The name "Ougi Oshino" was merely used
as a convenience. Don't forget that.
[07:51] Izuko
The true nature of Ougi Oshino is unknown.
[07:56] Izuko
The loss of her true identity is the
only identity she has.
[08:01] Izuko
First, let's go over it step-by-step.
[08:03] Izuko
We don't have time, and I'll only
explain once, so listen up.
SIGN Notes
[08:08] Koyomi
There's one thing I want to confirm.
[08:11] Koyomi
Are you sure that Ougi-chan will
be on the move sometime tonight?
[08:15] Izuko
She will. I'm not simply "sure."
That's just the reality of it.
[08:19] Izuko
She only has tonight. If she doesn't act tonight,
that would imply that it's not actually her.
[08:24] Izuko
And thus, there is no threat at all.
[08:27] Koyomi
Well, for this case, I did toss out the
question, but I was pretty convinced, too.
[08:31] Koyomi
Because she said so herself.
[08:34] Ougi
Araragi-senpai, could you be on my side?
[08:38] Ougi
Please, help me.
[08:42] Izuko
We'll start by talking
about the relationship
[08:45] Izuko
between this park and
North Shirahebi Shrine.
[08:48] Izuko
From the source that leads
up to the current tragedy.
[08:51] Izuko
From the tragedy 400 years ago
that fell upon Shirohebi Shrine,
[08:54] Izuko
the previous incarnation of
North Shirahebi Shrine.
[09:00] Izuko
Now, what exactly happened 400 years ago?
[09:08] Izuko
Right. The legendary vampire, Kiss-shot
Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade visited Japan.
[09:14] Izuko
Now, when she landed,
[09:16] Izuko
all the water that had built up in a
lake in that particular area of Japan
[09:19] Izuko
was dispersed.
[09:21] Izuko
She scattered it.
[09:23] Izuko
That lake was no ordinary lake.
[09:27] Izuko
It was a sacred lake that was the
focus of worship for the whole region.
[09:32] Izuko
But this blasphemous deed of hers
proved to be to the region's benefit.
[09:38] Izuko
Because the water from the lake that
flew up from the impact of landing...
[09:42] Izuko
...fell back down onto the area,
[09:44] Izuko
which was suffering from a drought
at the time, as blessed rain.
[09:47] Izuko
As a result, the Western apparition
[09:50] Izuko
Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade,
a vampire, took over the local religion.
[09:56] Izuko
You could say that she defeated the
previous god and took over its position.
[10:01] Izuko
With no more lake, and no more god to
worship, they had to find a new god.
[10:08] Izuko
No, they had to create a new god.
[10:12] Izuko
That is why they relocated the shrine.
[10:15] Izuko
The locals, who'd lost both their
faith and much of their numbers,
[10:19] Izuko
decided to try and survive by
merging with a local folk religion.
[10:24] Izuko
And this wasn't necessarily a bad decision.
[10:27] Izuko
There was a tie between these
two that enabled the grafting.
[10:30] Izuko
A tie, an axis... A cord that
connected the mountain and the lake.
[10:35] Izuko
Though I guess I should call it
a rope (nawa), and not a cord.
[10:38] Izuko
A kuchinawa—in other words, a snake.
[10:41] Izuko
The god that was worshiped at the lake
[10:42] Izuko
took the physical form of a water snake.
[10:46] Izuko
And the object of worship for
the small indigenous faith
[10:49] Izuko
in the mountains was shaped
like a mountain snake.
[10:52] Izuko
A water snake and a mountain snake.
[10:54] Izuko
A snake connection.
[10:55] Izuko
But this grafting proved to
be just a bit too forced.
[11:00] Izuko
It might have appeared successful,
[11:01] Izuko
but there was still this
sense that something was off.
[11:04] Izuko
And being "off," being unbalanced, in
that way, created a type of air pocket.
[11:08] Izuko
An air pocket that gathered bad things.
[11:11] Izuko
The site of the eradicated lake
is here, Shirohebi Park...
[11:16] Izuko
...and the mountain shrine where the faith had been
transferred is North Shirahebi Shrine, you see.
SIGN North Shirahebi Shrine
[11:25] Izuko
By the way,
[11:26] Izuko
Shirohebi Shrine, now "North Shirahebi Shrine,"
managed to survive in a much diminished state,
[11:32] Izuko
until finally collapsing 15 years ago.
[11:35] Izuko
He—the first minion of Shinobu-san—
his ashes came back to his homeland,
[11:40] Izuko
and as a result, he ate the "bad things"
that had gathered within the shrine grounds,
[11:43] Izuko
and the god itself.
[11:47] Izuko
Because of all that had gone on, after the
case of that minion had been resolved...
[11:52] Izuko
I had planned to enshrine Shinobu-san as
the new deity of North Shirahebi Shrine.
SIGN If you had explained everything with that reasoning from the beginning...
SIGN That's what I was going to say,
SIGN but even if she had taken the time to explain it,
SIGN I doubt I ever would've thought about using that talisman on Shinobu.
[12:04] Izuko
Koyomin, why don't we take a little break
and make it clear where we both stand?
[12:10] Koyomi
Where we both stand?
[12:13] Izuko
What we want, if you prefer
to put it that way.
[12:15] Izuko
Or what, exactly, we think we're doing here.
[12:18] Izuko
We don't have any kind of alliance here.
[12:23] Izuko
I brought you here expecting one of the
miracles you pull off.
[12:27] Izuko
But I can't deny that it might
just bring forth another disaster.
[12:32] Izuko
For example, when I put you
in charge of Shinobu-san,
[12:35] Izuko
or Shinobu-chan, as she was known back then,
[12:36] Izuko
I never thought that the end result
would be an unrelated middle school girl
[12:39] Izuko
being enshrined as a god.
[12:43] Koyomi
Yeah, you've kinda got me there.
SIGN In other words, since she couldn't trust me, she wanted to know what I was after...
SIGN What was inside my heart.
[12:51] Koyomi
I'll tell you, then. My objective is...
[12:54] Koyomi
For now, I'd like to do something
about Hachikuji and Shinobu.
[12:59] Koyomi
Especially Hachikuji, as she might be
swallowed up by the darkness at this rate.
[13:03] Izuko
Well, remember that I said I
had a plan for Hachikuji-chan.
[13:08] Izuko
So, next I'd like to hear your
worries about Shinobu-san.
[13:11] Izuko
You want to do something about Shinobu-san?
Koyomin, specifically what do you mean by that?
[13:17] Koyomi
So like, she's like this now...
[13:22] Koyomi
And of course, I'm concerned about how
Oshino and Kagenui-san's whereabouts are unknown.
[13:32] Koyomi
Of course, I think it would be good for
the town I live in to be peaceful.
[13:37] Koyomi
But I'm not capable of really
thinking about things in that way.
[13:42] Koyomi
At most, I can think about the safety
of the people around me.
[13:47] Izuko
And that's what makes this dangerous for me.
[13:50] Izuko
But we can deal with that.
[13:53] Izuko
At least, this time around.
[13:56] Koyomi
By that, you mean..
[13:57] Izuko
You're worried about the people
close to you, but not yourself.
[14:05] Izuko
Since your own safety isn't a concern,
we can come to an agreement.
[14:11] Izuko
What about you, Shinobu-san?
[14:14] Izuko
What is your objective?
[14:16] Izuko
Shinobu-san, what are you thinking about
right now? What do you want to do?
[14:22] Kiss-shot
I merely obey my master's orders.
[14:26] Kiss-shot
If my master says he will assist you,
that's what I will do as well.
[14:31] Kiss-shot
And if my master decides to oppose you,
that's what I will do as well.
[14:38] Kiss-shot
Specialist, if I could speak for myself,
my desire is, if at all possible...
[14:46] Kiss-shot
...to be returned to the
form of a young girl.
[14:57] Izuko
Now that our stances are all clear,
[15:01] Izuko
I'll explain what, exactly,
we're about to do.
[15:04] Izuko
I will explain the minimum requirements for
fulfilling Koyomin's objectives, my objectives,
[15:09] Izuko
Shinobu-san's objectives, and
Hachikuji-chan's objectives simultaneously.
SIGN Minimum Requirements
[15:14] Izuko
There are two minimum requirements.
[15:15] Izuko
One is to enshrine a new deity
in North Shirahebi Shrine,
[15:19] Izuko
and the other is the
extermination of Ougi Oshino.
SIGN Extermination
[15:25] Koyomi
Gaen-san...
[15:26] Koyomi
If you're talking about turning
Shinobu into a god—
[15:29] Izuko
That's what I had been planning on.
[15:31] Izuko
But since Koyomin brought Hachikuji-chan back
from hell, the situation has changed.
[15:36] Izuko
In a way, a surrogate god that is
even more fitting than Shinobu-san...
[15:40] Izuko
No, the successor to a god has appeared.
[15:43] Koyomi
The successor to a god?
[15:46] Izuko
It's Hachikuji-chan.
[15:50] Koyomi
N-No, that's even worse!
I mean, Hachikuji is—
[15:55] Izuko
Hachikuji is?
[15:58] Kiss-shot
Well, I suppose she's qualified.
[16:02] Kiss-shot
At the point where she returned from hell,
[16:04] Kiss-shot
that lost girl undoubtedly
performed a miracle.
[16:09] Koyomi
But if that's the case, the condition is
also met by me, or even by Ononoki-chan—
[16:15] Izuko
It's not the same. It's different.
[16:17] Izuko
You all returned, but in different ways.
[16:20] Izuko
The difference is that if she doesn't
turn into a god right here,
[16:22] Izuko
Hachikuji-chan will be swallowed
up by the darkness.
[16:27] Izuko
In other words, there are three choices.
[16:29] Izuko
One, she goes back to hell again.
[16:32] Izuko
Two, she gets swallowed up
into the "darkness."
[16:34] Izuko
Three, she becomes a god.
[16:37] Izuko
By becoming enshrined at
North Shirahebi Shrine,
[16:40] Izuko
Mayoi Hachikuji will be granted
an existence in this material world.
SIGN She gains citizenship.
SIGN She gains proof of residence —so the story goes.
[16:47] Izuko
So for Hachikuji-chan, it's basically
nothing but good things.
[16:51] Izuko
Of course, I'd have to
have her work a bit.
[16:54] Izuko
But if she at least maintains the air pocket,
[16:57] Izuko
that will be good enough as
a preventative measure.
[17:00] Mayoi
There you have it.
[17:01] Koyomi
B-But, it's a shrine that
deifies a snake, right?
[17:05] Koyomi
If you enshrined a snail apparition like
Hachikuji, wouldn't that cause a distortion?
[17:11] Izuko
And that is the miracle
that makes it impossible
[17:13] Izuko
to believe that you did this
without thinking, Koyomin.
[17:16] Izuko
Without that miracle, I never would've thought
about enshrining Hachikuji-chan as a god.
[17:22] Izuko
A snail is a superior version of a snake.
[17:25] Koyomi
Huh?
[17:26] Izuko
No, "superior version" is perhaps stretching
things a little too much.
[17:31] Izuko
But Koyomin, you've at least
heard of a three-way deadlock?
[17:37] Koyomi
A snake, a frog, and a slug...
[17:41] Koyomi
Slug? Haven't I heard
about that somewhere?
[17:45] Koyomi
Oh, right.
[17:47] Koyomi
The Slug Tofu.
[17:49] Koyomi
The fake apparition that
Kaiki used on Sengoku...
[17:52] Izuko
Right. An apparition effective
against snakes... a slug.
[17:56] Izuko
And, a slug and a snail
are related species.
SIGN Slug Snail
[18:02] Koyomi
Then, it's not that a snail has
nothing to do with a snake.
[18:06] Koyomi
A snail can freeze a snake in place.
[18:09] Koyomi
She won't run wild like Sengoku.
[18:11] Koyomi
She won't be swallowed by
the snake like Sengoku.
[18:14] Koyomi
Instead, she can swallow the snake.
[18:18] Mayoi
In other words, I'm Mayoi Slug (Namekuji).
[18:21] Koyomi
Hachikuji, are you really
all right with that?
[18:24] Mayoi
Yes, I'm fine with it. A god!
That gets me all hyped up!
[18:28] Koyomi
Hyped up?
[18:30] Mayoi
Excuse me, I god-ed (kami-mashita)!
SIGN God-ed
[18:34] Koyomi
Putting it that way makes it
sound like a gag, so stop it.
[18:37] Koyomi
This is really important! Don't
try to make a joke about it!
[18:40] Mayoi
It's way more than just two ranks up!
A tremendous promotion!
[18:44] Koyomi
No, you probably don't understand...
[18:47] Mayoi
I have a proper understanding.
[18:49] Koyomi
Is that so? Do you properly understand
the responsibilities and meaning,
[18:53] Koyomi
the weight and duties of the
act of becoming a god?
[18:56] Mayoi
No, I don't understand any of
those things. Not at all!
[18:59] Koyomi
You don't understand?!
[19:01] Mayoi
However...
[19:02] Mayoi
I do know that if I do this,
[19:03] Mayoi
I'll continue to be able to play merrily
with you from now on, Araragi-san.
[19:09] Izuko
Well, that fulfills one of the conditions.
[19:14] Izuko
If Hachikuji-chan swallows this talisman,
[19:17] Izuko
it's the birth of a new god
at North Shirahebi Shrine.
[19:21] Izuko
If Koyomin wants Hachikuji-chan to
be swallowed up into the darkness,
[19:25] Izuko
well, I'll leave that to your discretion.
[19:28] Izuko
For me, it's a matter of the means.
[19:32] Koyomi
Oh, right.
[19:34] Koyomi
Gaen-san.
[19:35] Izuko
What is it, Koyomin?
[19:36] Koyomi
Um... About the "darkness"...
[19:39] Koyomi
Perhaps we've suffered
a terrible misunderstanding.
[19:44] Koyomi
Ougi Oshino may not be the darkness.
[19:48] Izuko
I know that.
[19:50] Yotsugi
Seriously? She wasn't? You're kidding!
[19:53] Yotsugi
I totally thought that was the case,
[19:55] Yotsugi
and I put tons of foreshadowing of
that nature all over the place!
SIGN If so, I really wish she hadn't done that.
SIGN Please don't deliberately add foreshadowing.
SIGN She had a troublesome character trait, or rather, she was a troublesome character.
[20:09] Izuko
Why did you think that in the first place?
[20:11] Izuko
That Ougi Oshino was the "darkness."
[20:13] Koyomi
Well, because...
[20:16] Izuko
Oh, that was a bad way to ask.
[20:18] Izuko
What I want to ask is, at what point did you,
Koyomin, get that idea?
[20:24] Koyomi
There was no specific point.
[20:26] Koyomi
As I watched and listened to her,
I naturally started thinking that way...
[20:30] Koyomi
In reality, she was seeking Hachikuji,
and the cases concerning Sengoku and Tadatsuru.
[20:37] Koyomi
No, in the end, it was just a sense I had.
[20:42] Koyomi
I mean, she felt so shady and
dark... Like darkness itself.
[20:47] Koyomi
A shadow that appreciates the rules.
[20:50] Koyomi
A pitch black that reveres balance.
[20:53] Izuko
In the beginning, she herself
probably thought that way, too.
[20:58] Izuko
It's certain that even now, she imposes
tasks of that sort on herself.
[21:02] Izuko
Ougi Oshino is not the "darkness,"
but she does the same thing.
[21:07] Izuko
She plays the same role.
[21:09] Koyomi
The same role as the "darkness"...
[21:12] Izuko
Let me clear things up just in case—
[21:15] Izuko
If we leave Hachikuji-chan
in her current condition,
[21:18] Izuko
the "darkness" we were worried
might reappear in this town
[21:22] Izuko
will be the true "darkness".
[21:26] Izuko
On the other hand, if we set up and enshrine
Hachikuji-chan as the god of North Shirahebi Shrine,
[21:30] Izuko
it's possible that Hachikuji-chan
will be attacked
[21:35] Izuko
by Ougi Oshino, who performs the same
role as the "darkness."
[21:44] Koyomi
After we enshrine... attacked?
[21:48] Izuko
Well, that's why I said there were two
minimum requirements, didn't I?
[21:52] Izuko
Merely enshrining Hachikuji-chan
as a god is not enough.
[21:55] Izuko
If we don't exterminate Ougi Oshino,
the story doesn't come to a conclusion.
[22:00] Koyomi
Exterminate, exterminate...
You keep repeating that.
[22:03] Koyomi
But can you stop that?
[22:06] Koyomi
When you say exterminate, it's as
if Ougi-chan was an apparition.
[22:11] Izuko
That's right.
[22:15] Izuko
She is an ordinary...
[22:17] Izuko
...monster.
SIGN Ougi Dark Part Two
[22:25] Koyomi
Ougi-chan... is an apparition?
[22:28] Koyomi
On what basis, Gaen-san, are you
calling Ougi-chan a monster?
[22:34] Izuko
Then on what basis do you call
Ougi Oshino "Ougi-chan"?
[22:40] Izuko
Aren't you merely calling her "Ougi-chan"
because she called herself Ougi Oshino,
[22:45] Izuko
and you just believed her?
[22:48] Mayoi
It's unlike you to be so
dense about this, Araragi-san.
[22:51] Mayoi
I'm guessing that this Ougi Oshino-san
was introduced to you by Kanbaru-san,
[22:56] Mayoi
the previous star of the basketball team,
as one of her fans?
[23:00] Koyomi
Yeah, that's how things went.
[23:03] Mayoi
A fan. In other words, a fan (ougi).
[23:06] Koyomi
Eh? But what about her last name?
[23:10] Izuko
The last name "Oshino" is
slightly more complicated.
[23:14] Izuko
But it is certain that her claim
of being Meme's niece is a lie.
[23:18] Koyomi
If Ougi Oshino isn't Ougi Oshino,
then what in the world is she?
[23:24] Izuko
What is she, really?
[23:27] Izuko
What she is, right now, is "an unknown."
[23:31] Izuko
That is why it is clear how we will
exterminate her. In my original plan,
[23:36] Izuko
Ougi Oshino was going to be exterminated
with the demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
[23:40] Koyomi
So you were planning to slay Ougi-chan
with the Apparition Killer?
[23:44] Izuko
Come on, don't glare at me like that.
Which side are you on, exactly?
[23:49] Izuko
Slaying an apparition with
the Apparition Killer...
[23:52] Izuko
Normally, something like that
wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.
[23:54] Izuko
As a specialist, that's my job.
[23:57] Koyomi
Is that why you created the
demon sword "Kokoro Watari"?
[24:02] Koyomi
The armor worn by the first
minion, Seishiro Shishirui.
[24:07] Koyomi
The sword was created by reforging it
after it went missing in August.
[24:12] Izuko
I didn't create it to slay Ougi Oshino.
[24:15] Izuko
However, I did predict the
appearance of Ougi Oshino.
[24:18] Kiss-shot
Hmph. No different than someone
who loots during a riot.
[24:22] Kiss-shot
No wonder I felt like that
meal was a bit lacking.
[24:26] Izuko
Don't say that. That's why I've already
returned it to you, Shinobu-san.
SIGN Based on that comment,
SIGN the demon sword "Kokoro Watari" that was used earlier to play cricket
SIGN was not Shinobu's, but apparently the replica created by Gaen-san.
[24:34] Izuko
I no longer have a need for it.
[24:36] Izuko
If I can count on Koyomin's assistance,
there's no need to do this the hard way.
[24:41] Izuko
As a specialist in exterminating monsters,
I can use the proper means,
[24:45] Izuko
the standard approach,
to exterminate Ougi Oshino.
[24:50] Koyomi
What do you mean by saying you predicted
the appearance of Ougi-chan?
[24:54] Izuko
Well, I'm just speaking from experience.
[24:56] Izuko
I wouldn't say it was exactly
the same as Ougi Oshino...
[24:59] Izuko
but I've seen an apparition
similar to her in the past.
[25:04] Izuko
Strictly speaking, I was not the
one that experienced it.
[25:07] Izuko
It was my older sister, Tooe Gaen.
[25:11] Izuko
You know well of Suruga Kanbaru...
it's her mother.
SIGN Tooe Gaen
[25:15] Izuko
In a way, she was like you, Koyomin.
[25:18] Izuko
As a grade school student, I thought
my older sister was bad news.
[25:21] Izuko
I was well aware that she
was a dangerous individual.
[25:23] Izuko
How do I put it...
[25:25] Izuko
She wasn't a monster,
but she was like a monster.
[25:29] Izuko
Tough on herself, and tough on others.
[25:32] Izuko
The tougher it got, the more
she thought it was for good.
[25:35] Izuko
That's the type of person she was.
[25:37] Izuko
But I digress. It's not that I want to
introduce my older sister's personality to you.
[25:43] Izuko
For now, I just want to say that such a
personality my older sister had reminds me of Koyomin.
SIGN Tough on oneself, and tough on others?
[25:50] Koyomi
Did I have that kind of a personality?
[26:00] Izuko
I will have Koyomin do the same
thing my older sister did.
[26:03] Koyomi
I'm going to do it? Not you, Gaen-san?
[26:07] Izuko
You're the only one that can do it.
[26:10] Izuko
You. By yourself.
[26:12] Izuko
You must do it.
SIGN People just...
SIGN help themselves
SIGN out on their own.
[26:19] Izuko
The threat that the unknown
apparition Ougi Oshino poses...
[26:23] Izuko
...ultimately boils down to one point,
that she is an unknown.
[26:27] Izuko
Therefore, disclosing her true identity
would cause it to collapse.
SIGN Collapse
[26:30] Koyomi
Collapse?
[26:32] Izuko
You could call it "pair
annihilation" as well.
[26:34] Izuko
But what's important here is that she's a
fake, who lies about what she really is.
[26:41] Izuko
What happens when that lie is exposed...
[26:43] Izuko
Shinobu-san and Hachikuji-chan
should know all too well.
[26:51] Koyomi
The "darkness".
[26:56] Izuko
Right. Apparitions that lie about what they are
get swallowed by the "darkness".
[27:00] Izuko
Especially in her case, she falsified
herself as that "darkness" itself.
[27:04] Izuko
The punishment for such a rule
violation will be the most severe.
[27:10] Izuko
You reap what you sow.
[27:12] Izuko
Everything she's done around
Koyomin for the past six months,
[27:16] Izuko
all of that will now come
bearing down on her.
[27:24] Izuko
Well, an apparition is something
intrinsically of that nature.
[27:27] Izuko
That is why I call Ougi Oshino
"an ordinary monster."
SIGN If you explain an apparition with science,
SIGN it turns into an ordinary superstition, right?
[27:33] Koyomi
Gaen-san, so your older sister defeated
an apparition similar to Ougi-chan...
[27:37] Koyomi
A "darkness", no,
a quasi-darkness, in that manner?
[27:41] Izuko
Yup, that's right.
[27:43] Izuko
In my opinion, a quasi-darkness is more
dangerous than the "darkness" itself.
[27:49] Izuko
It refuses to allow a tidy ending.
[27:52] Izuko
It says that giving everyone
a happy ending is cheating.
[27:55] Izuko
That's how it works.
[27:58] Izuko
That is why we absolutely must
[28:00] Izuko
settle the score once and for all today,
before the night is over.
[28:04] Ougi
Please, help me.
[28:05] Ougi
Could you be on my side?
[28:08] Ougi
Please, help me.
SIGN I don't know why Ougi-chan said that to me.
[28:17] Koyomi
In the past,
[28:19] Koyomi
there was a time when I rejected a request
from Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
[28:26] Koyomi
I will give Ougi-chan the
same answer as back then.
[28:31] Koyomi
I understand.
[28:33] Koyomi
I will not save Ougi Oshino. So...
[28:35] Koyomi
So, please tell me, Gaen-san.
[28:39] Koyomi
What is the true identity of the mysterious
transfer student, Ougi Oshino?
[28:43] Izuko
Her true identity is...
[28:47] Nadeko
Thank you, Tsukihi-chan. Thanks to you,
it looks like I'll make my deadline.
[28:51] Tsukihi
Nothing, it's nothing!
SIGN This is Ran Hokkyokusei, transferring from Shogo Academy.
[28:56] Tsukihi
I don't know much about manga and stuff.
[28:59] Tsukihi
But Nadeko-chan, how confident
are you about this?
[29:02] Tsukihi
If you win an award, you get
prize money and stuff, right?
[29:05] Nadeko
Mm... I don't know.
[29:08] Nadeko
I stopped thinking about confidence
and stuff like that.
[29:11] Tsukihi
Hmm...
[29:12] Nadeko
There have been people that
said I might have talent.
[29:16] Nadeko
But even for people with talent,
[29:18] Nadeko
sometimes these things just don't work out.
[29:22] Tsukihi
You won't be at the top tier unless
you believe in your talent.
[29:26] Tsukihi
Otherwise, you won't have anything to keep you going
when you can't put in any more effort.
[29:30] ---
This is Ran Hokkyokusei, transferring
from Shogo Academy.
[29:31] Tsukihi
People with only effort will become disheartened
when they can no longer put in that effort.
[29:37] Nadeko
It feels kind of like
you're trying to trick me.
[29:42] Nadeko
I just do what I want to do.
[29:45] Nadeko
No matter how unsightly
or embarrassing it is.
[29:49] Nadeko
Tsukihi-chan, aren't you like that, too?
[29:52] Tsukihi
I really don't have things I want to do,
or goals, or stuff of that sort.
[29:58] Tsukihi
That's why I like supporting what
other people do like this, I guess?
[30:03] Nadeko
Hmm?
[30:06] Nadeko
To me, there isn't anyone else with as clear
a stance on life as you, Tsukihi-chan.
[30:11] Tsukihi
Hahaha! I'm honored by you saying that.
Just how lucky is Tsukihi-chan?
[30:17] Tsukihi
But I'm a bit more nihilistic,
or maybe destructive,
[30:23] Tsukihi
so there is a part of me that gets drawn
to people who want to do things.
[30:27] Nadeko
Are you talking about
Karen-san or Koyomi-san?
[30:32] Tsukihi
Well, yeah.
[30:34] Tsukihi
That, and helping Nadeko-chan's job like this
[30:38] Tsukihi
is me getting drawn to
Nadeko-chan's enthusiasm.
[30:41] Nadeko
Job...
[30:43] Nadeko
It's not my job at all yet.
[30:49] Tsukihi
I wonder what eventually
happens to people like me?
[30:53] Tsukihi
I have to think about planning for
the future before it's too late.
[30:57] Tsukihi
Karen-chan is entering high school,
and Big Brother will be going to college.
[31:02] ---
A normal middle school girl
who goes to 15 Academy!
[31:02] Tsukihi
Because right now I'm getting a taste of being
left behind for the second time in my life,
[31:05] ---
But what was
that guy's problem?
[31:05] ---
And it feels like
I've seen him before...
[31:06] Tsukihi
the last time being two years ago
when I was in sixth grade,
[31:07] ---
What's going to happen to
my ordinary school life?
[31:09] Tsukihi
I should decide what I want
to do, who I want to be.
[31:14] Tsukihi
Just like you, Nadeko-chan.
[31:15] Nadeko
Just having you say something
like that, Tsukihi-chan,
[31:18] Nadeko
makes it worth putting effort into this.
[31:23] Nadeko
Even if people can't become happy, good things
happen to them... as long as they are alive.
[31:30] Tsukihi
Hmm... Well, I guess that's true.
[31:37] Ougi
Oh? Is that... Araragi-senpai's
little sister right there?
[31:46] Ougi
I met you yesterday, too. Hello.
[31:49] Tsukihi
Hello.
[31:51] Tsukihi
Did I meet her?
[31:52] Ougi
My name is Ougi Oshino. I hear much
about you from your big brother.
[31:58] Ougi
He says he's very proud of you.
[32:00] Tsukihi
Okay...
[32:01] Ougi
It's getting late, so I'll take
you home. Hop on back here.
[32:14] Ougi
Was Sengoku-chan doing well?
[32:18] Ougi
How was her electrocardiogram (shindenzu)?
[32:21] Ougi
Was she dead-zu (shindenzu)?
Or not dead-zu?
[32:24] ---
Dead-zu?
Not Dead-zu?
[32:26] Tsukihi
She's all right, I guess.
[32:30] Tsukihi
She's not dead. If anything, it's more
like she had been dead before now.
[32:35] Ougi
Perhaps.
[32:37] Ougi
Well, they say that everybody has something
more to them than just being cute.
[32:41] Ougi
The way I think, girls like that
are cuter when they aren't cute.
[32:47] Ougi
Good, good.
[32:49] Ougi
Being a "pretty girl" ended
up only being a blade
[32:52] Ougi
Sengoku-chan used to inflict
wounds on herself.
[32:56] Ougi
Things like that are so sad.
[32:58] Tsukihi
Sad? Aren't you lucky if you are cute?
[33:04] Ougi
For Sengoku-chan, cuteness was also
a chain to bind herself with.
[33:09] Ougi
But still, I'm sure it was too precious
a talent to get rid of on her own.
[33:13] Ougi
She needed some drastic measures.
[33:16] Tsukihi
Drastic measures?
What are you talking about?
[33:19] Ougi
Who knows? I don't.
[33:22] Ougi
I don't know anything.
[33:25] Ougi
Araragi-senpai is the one that knows.
[33:29] Ougi
Sengoku-chan seems to want to become
a manga artist in the future.
[33:35] Ougi
Tsukihi Araragi-chan,
what do you want to become?
[33:38] Tsukihi
What I want to be?
[33:42] Tsukihi
I don't really have anything.
[33:45] Tsukihi
I'm fine as long as I'm
enjoying the present.
[33:48] Tsukihi
I feel like times like that link
together to form the future.
[33:52] Ougi
You're not the type that knows everything,
[33:55] Ougi
but you are the type that
can do everything.
[33:58] Ougi
You may not be omniscient,
but you are omnipotent...
[34:00] Ougi
You have too many choices,
[34:02] Ougi
and so your objectives may be
scattered all over the place.
[34:05] Ougi
Though I say future...
[34:08] Ougi
...your future is much too large in scale.
[34:12] Tsukihi
Are you saying that I'm too dependent?
[34:18] Ougi
Tsukihi-chan, it's a fact that you live
based on support from those around you.
[34:22] Ougi
They are keeping you alive.
[34:24] Ougi
Without your big brother
and big sister's help,
[34:27] Ougi
you could've died during summer break.
[34:31] Tsukihi
During summer break?
[34:35] Tsukihi
The thing about people is,
they can't live all alone!
[34:39] Ougi
People live of their own accord.
[34:45] Ougi
What can't live of their own accord...
are monsters.
[34:48] Ougi
Just like you and me.
[34:53] Tsukihi
Oh... huh?
[34:55] Tsukihi
Wait, Oshino-san...
[34:57] Ougi
"Ougi-san" is fine.
[34:58] Tsukihi
Ougi-san, this isn't the right way at all.
[35:02] Ougi
Whoa. Sorry, sorry. It looks

disclose their true identities, right?
[40:20] Ougi
That's why I'm saying it doesn't
look like you can exterminate
[40:23] Ougi
her even if you disclose
her true identity.
[40:26] Ougi
Because she has a big brother
[40:28] Ougi
that refuses to stop loving her, even
knowing what her true identity is.
[40:33] Ougi
Mm... That may be why
Yoduru Kagenui had given up.
[40:38] Ougi
But I'd surmise that I can't
quite do the same thing.
[40:44] Ougi
Isn't that so?
[40:45] Ougi
Araragi-senpai will disclose my true identity,
and I'll be exterminated right here.
[40:50] Ougi
That's how this works, right?
[40:54] Koyomi
A one-on-one duel, as they say.
[40:58] Ougi
That is quite exciting.
[41:04] Koyomi
This time, it's something
that I have to do myself.
[41:08] Koyomi
It's something that only I can do.
[41:10] Koyomi
And it's something that
I want to do alone.
[41:13] Ougi
What you "want to do," huh?
[41:16] Ougi
Perhaps you only think that because those
adults smooth-talked you into it?
[41:20] Ougi
Araragi-senpai, you may think you
are working yourself to the bone
[41:23] Ougi
for the sake of Shinobu-chan
and Hachikuji-chan.
[41:25] Ougi
But isn't that just habit?
[41:29] Ougi
How foolish.
[41:31] Ougi
One tends to find excessive value
in something that was almost lost.
[41:34] Ougi
But if you bind yourself to such nostalgia,
you will never ever arrive at your future.
[41:40] Ougi
Oh, let me just make it clear that
this is me pleading for my life.
[41:45] Koyomi
Pleading for your life?
[41:47] Ougi
I've been telling you, haven't I?
[41:48] Ougi
"Could you be on my side?"
[41:51] Ougi
"Please, help me."
[41:53] Ougi
It seems that those requests were
fleeting and flatly denied.
[41:58] Ougi
Was I not charming enough?
[42:02] Ougi
Well, that is the correct
answer, Araragi-senpai.
[42:06] Ougi
That is the right thing.
[42:07] Ougi
What, so you can do the right thing, too?
[42:12] Ougi
Unfortunately, I wanted
you to decline that.
[42:18] Ougi
Well, this party hasn't quite
gotten into full swing yet,
[42:21] Ougi
but let's have you close it
out now, Araragi-senpai.
[42:24] Koyomi
Yeah, I'll have the honor of doing so.
[42:29] Koyomi
Ougi-chan, your true identity...
[42:35] Koyomi
Your true identity... is me.
[42:48] Izuko
Ougi Oshino's true identity
is Koyomi Araragi.
[42:51] Izuko
Ougi Oshino is an apparition
created by Koyomi Araragi.
[42:55] Izuko
Just as my older sister, Tooe Gaen,
created an apparition called the Rainy Devil.
[43:00] Izuko
The unknown apparition created by Tooe Gaen
was the materialization of her self-control.
[43:07] Izuko
Taking that quasi-darkness,
[43:09] Izuko
and arranging it into the form of
the western apparition called Rainy Devil,
[43:12] Izuko
she settled the score.
[43:14] Izuko
You could say that Ougi Oshino
[43:16] Izuko
is your own desire to criticize yourself.
[43:19] Izuko
Of course, that's not all she is.
[43:26] Izuko
It was last August.
[43:28] Izuko
The case where Hachikuji-chan
was assaulted by the "darkness".
[43:31] Izuko
The first phase was that Koyomin, through
the incident, learned about the "darkness".
[43:36] Izuko
You learned of a phenomenon
that corrects mistakes.
[43:39] Izuko
It tells you that what's
forbidden is forbidden.
[43:40] Izuko
What is wrong is wrong.
[43:43] Izuko
It judges things.
[43:48] Izuko
Now, the second phase was the confrontation
with the first Apparition Killer.
[43:53] Izuko
During the first encounter,
[43:55] Izuko
Suruga's Rainy Devil left arm had been hit
by the Energy Drain from the first one, yes?
[44:00] Izuko
Here, the undiluted essence of the
"unknown" my older sister created
[44:03] Izuko
combined with the original.
[44:06] Izuko
Through Shinobu Oshino,
you and he understand one another.
[44:10] Izuko
In fact, Shinobu-chan
had eaten the first one.
[44:15] Izuko
Thanks to that food chain,
a part of my older sister's legacy
[44:19] Izuko
flowed into you through Shinobu-chan.
[44:23] Izuko
And the result was the birth
of an "unknown" equipped with
[44:28] Izuko
all of the apparitions in this town, and
everything that had happened with them.
SIGN Because of its nature and how it was created,
SIGN Ougi Oshino is able to wield Heart-under-blade's
SIGN physical materialization skill,
SIGN at the very least.
[44:34] Izuko
By the way, concerning the surname "Oshino,"
it originates from Shinobu Oshino.
[44:40] Izuko
The fact that I foolishly called
myself that guy's little sister
[44:44] Izuko
turned out to set a bad precedent.
[44:48] Izuko
However, Koyomin's singularity
was that the apparition
[44:52] Izuko
he created was an apparition
that attacked himself.
[44:55] Izuko
You have, from spring break,
somewhere in your heart,
[44:58] Izuko
had awareness that you are
cheating all over your body.
[45:03] Izuko
You helped Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
Heart-under-blade out of sympathy...
[45:08] Izuko
and you wanted to face the consequences.
[45:11] Izuko
You grew a friendship
with Tsubasa Hanekawa...
[45:14] Izuko
but you kept worrying if you were worthy,
since you couldn't live up to her feelings.
[45:21] Izuko
You helped Hitagi Senjyogahara
with her long-term worries...
[45:24] Izuko
but you kept thinking how you ended up dating
her as "taking advantage of her weakness."
[45:32] Izuko
You respect Suruga Kanbaru...
[45:34] Izuko
but you felt inferiority because you couldn't
live in her straightforward manner.
[45:38] Izuko
You helped Nadeko Sengoku...
[45:40] Izuko
...but back then, the person you really
wanted to help wasn't just Nadeko Sengoku.
[45:46] Izuko
You gradually reconciled
with Shinobu Oshino...
[45:49] Izuko
but was that even allowed?
[45:53] Izuko
In the first place, isn't it unfair
to freely use powers of immortality?
[45:57] Izuko
Shouldn't there be
consequences to face for it?
[46:00] Izuko
Aren't I...
[46:01] Izuko
the worst kind of human imaginable?
[46:05] Izuko
The portion of your mind
that criticizes itself
[46:08] Izuko
manifested itself entirely
in the form of Ougi Oshino.
[46:12] Izuko
The girl you could call Dark Koyomin.
[46:14] Izuko
That is why, like the darkness,
she took things one by one,
[46:18] Izuko
with the case of Sodachi Oikura as
a springboard, and crushed them.
[46:24] Izuko
Meme Oshino and Yoduru Kagenui...
[46:26] Izuko
That, and probably Deishu Kaiki after he
finished the case concerning Nadeko Sengoku.
[46:31] Izuko
Rest assured, Koyomin.
[46:33] Izuko
If you exterminate Ougi Oshino,
you'll probably find them easily.
[46:40] Izuko
She still has things that are left undone.
[46:44] Izuko
Right. Tsukihi Araragi, your little sister.
[46:47] Izuko
The immortal apparition, the Shideno-bird.
[46:50] Izuko
There's no chance whatsoever that
part of you isn't concerned with whether
[46:56] Izuko
it's okay for her to live
while pretending to be a human being.
[46:58] Izuko
That's why I used her as a lure.
[47:04] Izuko
Yup, that's right. I have no evidence.
[47:06] Izuko
Everything I said just
now is only speculation.
[47:09] Izuko
But you understand it, don't you?
[47:11] Izuko
You know better than anyone else
[47:13] Izuko
the true identity of Ougi Oshino.
[47:15] Izuko
That is why it must be you who
discloses her true identity.
[47:20] Izuko
Go be victorious in the
battle against yourself.
[47:22] Izuko
It's rather simple, isn't it?
[47:25] Izuko
Killing yourself for the sake of others.
It's something you do every day.
[47:29] Izuko
It's Koyomi Araragi, the one
that you loathe the most.
[47:34] Izuko
So... go end it all.
[47:36] Izuko
By your hands, you need to end it all.
[47:39] Izuko
That is the end... of your adolescence.
SIGN Ougi Dark Part Three
[47:49] Koyomi
Your true identity... is me.
[47:52] Koyomi
You are me.
[47:54] Koyomi
Ougi Oshino... is Koyomi Araragi.
[48:12] Ougi
Wow, that was rather quick.
The main act has already arrived?
[48:18] Ougi
Is it because of the severity of the
lies I told, the sins I have committed?
[48:27] Ougi
To think I was trying to act
the part of such a thing...
[48:30] Ougi
I have to say, I must
have been rather insane.
[48:35] Koyomi
Didn't you know that this
was going to happen?
[48:40] Koyomi
If you really are me,
[48:44] Koyomi
the fact that I'd be waiting here,
[48:46] Koyomi
the fact that I'd already
learned who you really are...
[48:50] Koyomi
If you knew, then why come?
[48:53] Ougi
There are times where you have to fight,
even if you know you're going to lose.
[48:57] Ougi
If I could say something akin to dying words,
[49:00] Ougi
I believe that, in my own way,
[49:02] Ougi
I was able to make Koyomi Araragi's
adolescence into something more right,
[49:05] Ougi
even if I couldn't make it better.
[49:08] Koyomi
If you're saying that this is right...
[49:11] Koyomi
Then I don't need what's right.
[49:14] Koyomi
Do you know how many problems you've
caused, for how many people?
[49:18] Ougi
If you're saying someone was harmed,
then I'll say that they deserved it.
[49:23] Ougi
It is not that I personally
have done anything.
[49:26] Ougi
In reality, you fully understand
that as well, don't you?
[49:28] Ougi
That trouble, harm, misfortune...
They aren't things that are cut-and-dry.
[49:36] Koyomi
So the right thing is cut-and-dry?
[49:39] Koyomi
What is right, and what is wrong...
Can you cut them apart?
[49:44] Ougi
Even if you can't decide what's right,
[49:46] Ougi
you can decide which side
is right, can't you?
[49:50] Ougi
In Sodachi Oikura's case, I was wrong.
[49:53] Ougi
In Nadeko Sengoku's case, I was right.
[49:57] Ougi
In Tadatsuru Teori's case...
I guess we call that a draw.
[50:01] Ougi
I had thought that I could win
that in a one-on-one fight.
SIGN Challenge
[50:06] Koyomi
So after all this, Ougi-chan...
Me or you—who was right?
[50:12] Ougi
As I am the one disappearing like this,
it means that Araragi-senpai, you were right.
[50:18] Ougi
Congratulations, Araragi-senpai.
[50:25] Ougi
Everything you have done until
now has not been wrong.
[50:28] Ougi
It was right.
[50:31] Ougi
This is the end of adolescence.
[50:33] Ougi
Or perhaps the end of a story?
[50:36] Ougi
Oh, this is nothing significant at all.
[50:39] Ougi
It's not the end of one's life, and it's
far from enough to be the world's end.
[50:44] Ougi
It's just the end of one
of your many stories.
[50:48] Ougi
It's not even the final episode or anything.
[50:50] Ougi
I'm glad that I could disappear
like this before you graduated.
[50:58] Ougi
Thank you for all your hard work.
[51:00] Ougi
Farewell, Araragi-senpai.
[51:06] Koyomi
Farewell, Ougi-chan.
[51:10] Koyomi
Farewell, Ougi Oshino.
[51:13] Koyomi
Farewell, my adolescence.
[51:23] Koyomi
Never mind! I just can't do it!
[51:36] Ougi
A-Araragi-senpai? Wh-What are...
[51:40] Ougi
What are you... thinking?
[51:48] Ougi
You're not immortal, but you're
trying to save someone else.
[51:52] Ougi
I-In the end, that's how you are?
[51:55] Ougi
Do you throw your life away so
easily for the sake of others?
[52:00] Ougi
So you are going to save
even someone like me,
[52:02] Ougi
who did nothing but criticize
you and make you suffer?
[52:08] Ougi
What good does it do if you die?
[52:10] Ougi
What's the point of saving me here?
[52:13] Ougi
You're wrong after all.
[52:17] Ougi
You are wrong as a person.
[52:20] Ougi
You are the absolute worst as a person.
[52:27] Koyomi
I didn't... save someone else.
[52:32] Koyomi
Right now... I just saved myself.
[52:37] Koyomi
Hitagi did. Hanekawa did. Shinobu did.
Ononoki-chan did. Everyone saved me.
[52:45] Koyomi
If everyone had saved me,
and I didn't save myself?
[52:51] Koyomi
I just can't allow such a thing to happen!
[53:04] Ougi
Oh, brother.
[53:06] Ougi
I had planned for a solo suicide, but this ended
up being a lover's suicide, Araragi-senpai.
[53:10] Ougi
Let me make it clear, but I'm
not a young girl, you know?
[53:14] Koyomi
That doesn't matter. Even then, you're like a
newborn baby, born merely six month ago, right?
SIGN Babies should be protected like this.
[53:23] Koyomi
If you're saying what I have been
doing until now wasn't wrong...
[53:27] Koyomi
...the fact that I'm doing this right now
should not be wrong, either.
[53:34] Koyomi
I am not wrong.
[53:37] Koyomi
Yup.
[53:38] Koyomi
Just as you are not wrong.
[53:44] Ougi
Really...
[53:46] Ougi
You are foolish.
[53:48] Meme
Not quite.
[53:57] Meme
I can't make fun of you...
[53:59] Meme
...as you finally fight for your own sake.
[54:04] Meme
I respect you, Araragi-kun.
[54:10] Tsubasa
I win.
[54:15] Ougi
This a joke.
[54:16] Ougi
Hanekawa-senpai really brought him here...
all the way from Antarctica.
[54:22] Ougi
She's really insane.
SIGN Hitagi, if this is the case, it wasn't, "This is a pen." It was "dépaysement."
SIGN Come to think of it, Ougi-chan had been alarmed at Hanekawa from the beginning.
SIGN The name "Ougi"...
SIGN actually was "ougi" because you put a "door" on "wings (hane)," wasn't it?
[54:34] Meme
Araragi-kun...
[54:38] Meme
You oh-so-violently pushed my cute little
niece down. What are you planning to do?
[54:44] Meme
Really, Araragi-kun, you're
so full of spirit.
[54:48] Meme
Did something nice happen
to you or something?
[54:52] Meme
You shouldn't be doing obscene things to your
underclassman when you have a lover.
SIGN Niece?
SIGN That's what he said. In reference to Ougi-chan.
SIGN Meme Oshino said so.
[55:05] Koyomi
Meme Oshino acknowledged
Ougi Oshino as a relative.
[55:11] Koyomi
What that signifies... is the
existence of Ougi Oshino.
[55:15] Koyomi
She was no longer a fabrication or a lie.
SIGN That is why...
SIGN ...the "darkness" disappeared.
[55:25] Koyomi
You helped us, Oshino.
[55:28] Meme
I didn't really help or anything.
[55:30] Meme
You just helped yourself out
on your own, Araragi-kun.
[55:37] Meme
Well done.
[55:42] Ougi
Gweh...
[55:46] Koyomi
Ougi Oshino became Ougi Oshino.
[55:49] Koyomi
And thus, the adolescence of me,
Koyomi Araragi, came to an end.
[55:53] Koyomi
I had believed that not taking care of
myself was the act of loving others.
[55:58] Koyomi
The days of kind deception, filled with thin,
weak euphoria, have now come to an end.
[56:09] Koyomi
An epilogue.
SIGN March 15th
[56:12] Karen
Big Brother! It's morning, damn it!
[56:14] Tsukihi
If you don't get up, you'll be late!
[56:16] Karen & Tsukihi
Jeez!
[56:25] Koyomi
By the way, Tsukihi-chan,
what were you wishing for?
[56:29] Koyomi
I mean, about your hair.
[56:31] Tsukihi
I was actually wishing your exams would go well,
and also a bit about Nadeko-chan.
[56:36] Tsukihi
As it was about my hair (kami), I was
wishing upon the Lord God (kami).
[56:38] Tsukihi
That is, if he exists.
[56:41] Tsukihi
In any case, Big Brother's entrance exams are
over, and Nadeko-chan has gotten better for now.
[56:46] Tsukihi
Mm, maybe there is a God out there.
[56:49] Koyomi
Yeah, starting yesterday.
[56:51] Tsukihi
Hmm?
[56:52] Koyomi
Oh, nothing.
[56:54] Tsukihi
I see.
[57:00] Karen
Big Brother, Big Brother! Since I'm going
to be in high school starting next month,
[57:04] Karen
we won't be able to make
out like we have been.
[57:09] Karen
So let's take one last meal,
feeding mouth-to-mouth!
[57:13] Karen
And let's brush each others' teeth!
[57:16] Koyomi
What you need to brush
up is your intelligence.
[57:18] Koyomi
Well, you know, Karen-chan.
[57:21] Koyomi
Even after you disband the Fire Sisters
of Tsuganoki 2nd Middle School,
[57:24] Koyomi
are you going to continue acting
as an advocate of justice?
[57:26] Karen
I can't help it!
SIGN To correct, maybe she wanted to say, "By all possible means!"
SIGN To be right, that is.
[57:30] Koyomi
Karen-chan, in your case, what did
the "right thing" turn out to be?
[57:34] Karen
Helping others!
[57:36] Koyomi
I see.
[57:40] Koyomi
Then why not start by helping yourself?
SIGN You too.
[57:47] Koyomi
Hey, Hachikuji!

SIGN One bow Two claps Two bows
SIGN Manners in visitation
[58:00] Mayoi
...make a monetary offering, and speak
as if you were speaking to a god.
[58:04] Koyomi
Who would talk to someone like that?
I'll totally ignore you.
[58:08] Mayoi
Araragi-san, are you heading to
your graduation ceremony today?
[58:11] Mayoi
Thank you for all your hard work.
[58:17] Mayoi
Normally, I would attend the graduation
ceremony and celebrate your achievement.
[58:22] Mayoi
But if a god were to attend, the common people
might start clamoring... so I'll be considerate.
[58:27] Koyomi
Nobody will visit your shrine. We're going
to end up as a town without a god again!
[58:32] Mayoi
Hahaha! Oh, don't say that.
You can come by any time.
[58:36] Mayoi
North Shirahebi Shrine is free to visit,
so really, come visit at any time.
[58:42] Koyomi
Yeah, I'll go visit at any time.
[58:45] Koyomi
At your home.
[58:46] Mayoi
Yes, at my home!
[58:51] Izuko
By the way, are you really all
right with this, Shinobu-san?
[58:54] Izuko
Your desire to be sealed away once
again within Koyomin's shadow
[58:58] Izuko
is something I find difficult to comprehend.
[59:01] Izuko
If there's some rationale behind
this, I'd like to know it.
[59:06] Kiss-shot
There is none.
[59:07] Kiss-shot
Besides, my desire to once again be
deemed harmless, as I tire of battle...
[59:14] Kiss-shot
is something a specialist shouldn't
find too difficult to comprehend.
SIGN From a young girl (youjo) to a phantom woman (youjo).
SIGN And then, to wish to return to a young girl once again.
[59:21] Kiss-shot
Of course, if my master, now that his vampiric
nature has been successfully removed,
[59:29] Kiss-shot
is unwilling to return once again to the
state of being a quasi-human, quasi-vampire,
[59:35] Kiss-shot
I shall retract my own desires.
[59:39] Kiss-shot
After I heal that arm, I will retreat to a
mountain somewhere, and live a secluded life.
[59:45] Koyomi
Like I'd let you.
[59:48] Koyomi
The mountains don't have any
Mister Donut stores, Shinobu.
[59:54] Kiss-shot
Oh, that's right.
[59:58] Koyomi
If you were to die tomorrow, I'd be fine with
tomorrow being the last day of my life.
[1:00:03] Koyomi
If you were to live through today,
I will also choose to live through today.
[1:00:09] Kiss-shot
If you were to die the day after tomorrow,
I shall live for three days' time...
[1:00:14] Kiss-shot

I shall recite the story of my master
with pride to a listening ear.

Because there were a lot of things
I wanted to talk to you about.
[1:00:53] Tsubasa
I have to take off right after

[1:00:58] Tsubasa
So I thought this was the only

[1:01:08] Tsubasa
Mm... Actually...
[1:01:12] Tsubasa
In bringing Oshino-san back from Antarctica,
I sold off a bit of my brains.
[1:01:17] Koyomi
Sold off your brains?
[1:01:19] Koyomi
What? That doesn't sound good...
[1:01:21] Tsubasa
I guess you call them "jet setters"?

By the way, they think that Kagenui-san
is probably at the North Pole.

I see... I had a hunch
so I chose the continent.

So even if I had gone to the North

Ononoki-chan wanted to go get her, but she declined,
[1:02:04] Koyomi
saying she's busy with some kind of
familiar sounding training ritual
[1:02:08] Koyomi
which involves fighting polar bears.
[1:02:09] Tsubasa
Oh? Then, what happened to Ononoki-chan?
What is she doing now?

[1:02:13] Koyomi
She's still at my house.
[1:02:15] Tsubasa
That's...
[1:02:16] Koyomi
Well, a part of it is that Gaen-san
and Oshino left all too suddenly.

It looks like adults are
pretty busy in many ways.

Adults?

You're the only one that

"Hitagi"?
[1:02:36] Tsubasa
Oh, I see, I see. Something like
that happened while I was gone?

Wait, wait, wait. Don't make hasty decisions.
[1:02:44] Koyomi
Perhaps things haven't gone
as far as you think they have.
[1:02:48] Tsubasa
I'm glad, I'm glad. Now, I can take off
without worrying about a thing.
[1:02:56] Hitagi
Morning, Araragi-kun.
[1:02:58] Tsubasa
Oh? You're not going to call him "Koyomi"?
[1:03:07] Hitagi
Morning, Koyomi.
[1:03:11] Hitagi
And welcome back, Tsubasa.
[1:03:17] Tsubasa
I'm back, Hitagi-chan.

Koyomi, Kanbaru apparently has prepared
a present for us as a graduation gift.
[1:03:26] Koyomi
Really? A present from Kanbaru...
That makes me nervous.
[1:03:32] Hitagi
Well, she isn't one to prepare something
strange for something like this.
[1:03:36] Hitagi
I probed a bit, and it seems to
be an ordinary flower bouquet.
[1:03:41] Koyomi
Flowers, huh...
[1:04:01] Hitagi & Tsubasa
Off you go!
[1:04:05] Koyomi
Yeah.
[1:04:07] Koyomi
Pick up my diploma for me!
SIGN I'm on my way.
[1:04:24] Ougi
You haven't changed, Araragi-senpai.
[1:04:28] Koyomi
No, I'm changing.
[1:04:30] Koyomi
But no matter how much I change...
[1:04:33] Koyomi
I am still me.

Once upon a time, in a certain place,
there was a weirdo called Koyomi Araragi.
[1:05:32] Shinobu
And he still is around to this day.
[1:05:36] Shinobu
And they all lived happily ever after.
[1:05:39] Koyomi
I heard the story recited from
the shadow that was running with me.
[1:05:43] Koyomi
I was curious to see
what happened next in the story.
