[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
    like I've gotten lost.
[35:06] Ougi

    When we figure out its true identity,
    it ceases to be scary at all.
[35:57] Ougi
    Mystery novels are like that, too.
[35:59] Ougi
    You read them on the edge of your seat, heart
    racing, because you don't know who did it.
[36:03] Ougi
    When the mystery is no longer a mystery,
    and the number of suspects is down to one...
[36:07] Ougi
    Honestly, after that point, it's no fun.
[36:11] Ougi
    I wish all solution scenes
    were just one line long.
[36:14] Ougi
    When the true identity is known,

    the fear and the fun disappear.

[40:10] Ougi
    How in the world was Yoduru Kagenui going to
    exterminate such a long-living creature?
[40:16] Koyomi
    You can exterminate monsters when you
    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

    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

[40:58] Ougi
    That is quite exciting.

    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

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.

    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!
[57:49] Mayoi
    Please don't speak to me!
SIGN    Name: God Mayoi Hachikuji
[57:51] Mayoi
    I am a god now!
[57:55] Mayoi
    If you insist that you wish to speak to me,
    after two bows, two claps, and one bow...
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
    and tell a tale about you to someone.
[1:00:18] Kiss-shot
    I shall recite the story of my master
    with pride to a listening ear.

    Morning, Hanekawa.
[1:00:45] Koyomi
    Why are you here at the bicycle lot?
[1:00:47] Tsubasa
    Of course, I was waiting
    for you, Araragi-kun.
[1:00:49] Tsubasa
    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
    the graduation ceremony is over.
[1:00:58] Tsubasa
    So I thought this was the only
    time I'd get to talk to you.
[1:01:03] Koyomi
    Do you have to leave right away
     because of the flight you booked?
[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"?
[1:01:23] Tsubasa
    Well, I had to go that far
    to charter a fighter plane.

    It's fine. I sold it off to a
    relatively honest institution.

[1:02:08] 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.
