[00:04] Koyomi
Ononoki Yotsugi is a doll.
[00:06] Koyomi
To put in another way,
she is not human.
[00:09] Koyomi
Not a person.
Not an organism. Not ordinary...
[00:13] Koyomi
That is Ononoki Yotsugi...
A tsukumo-gami that serves as a shikigami.
[00:18] Koyomi
By appearance, she is a cute little girl.
Eccentric in speech and actions.
[00:22] Koyomi
Though she is an amusing, expressionless child,
her true nature is that of an apparition.
[00:27] Koyomi
A monster. A phantom.
She is one of those evil spirits.
SIGN BIRD BEE CAT
SIGN CRAB EVIL SPIRITS SNAKE
SIGN DEVIL CRAB MONKEY
[00:33] Koyomi
Because of that, she is hopelessly
incompatible with human society.
[00:37] Shinobu
No. You know, in reality
that's not quite the case.
[00:41] Shinobu
In her case.
[00:43] Shinobu
Because she originated from a
human corpse, and she is a doll...
[00:49] Shinobu
So in her structure, she resembles that
of a human. She pretends to be human.
[00:53] Koyomi
Does that...
[00:55] Koyomi
Does that mean that she's striving to be human...
That she's doing her best to try and become human?
[01:00] Koyomi
Thinking that, I ask...
[01:02] Koyomi
However, according to Shinobu,
that's not quite it either.
[01:06] Koyomi
Apparently, the fact she pretends to be
one is apparently proof that she isn't trying.
SIGN IN THE END, IT IS MERELY THE MEANS TO BLEND INTO HUMAN SOCIETY.
SIGN IT IS ONLY A MEANS TO BECOME COMPATIBLE.
**
SIGN IT IS ONLY A MEANS TO BECOME COMPATIBLE. SO THEREFORE NOT A MEANS TO ASSIMILATE.
[01:12] Shinobu
No matter how much you learn a foreign language,
and how hard you study, and speak it fluently...
[01:17] Shinobu
That alone is still only a means to
communicate with those of another country.
[01:22] Shinobu
It does not necessarily equal
an effort to change your nationality.
[01:26] Shinobu
It's the same thing.
[01:27] Shinobu
How she was created in the likeness of humans
is not to be a human, nor to become a human.
[01:35] Shinobu
It is to be together with humans.
[01:38] Koyomi
Not to be, not to become...
But to be together with...
SIGN TO CREATE AN AMICABLE RELATION WITH SOMEONE IN ANOTHER CULTURE, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT FOREIGN CULTURE AND LOOK INTO IT--
SIGN WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO
[01:44] Shinobu
In the first place, you know...
[01:46] Koyomi
Why do apparitions in legends, or in other
words so-called metamorphic monsters...
[01:51] ---
...take the shape of
humans or of animals?
[01:55] Shinobu
To sum up, it is an existence in unreality, yet bases
its shape on things that actually exist in reality.
[02:02] Shinobu
You've never really thought about it?
SIGN I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
SIGN THAT IS WELL, IF I CAN SAY SO, PERHAPS THE LIMITATIONS OF HUMAN IMAGINATION--
SIGN HUMANS CAN ONLY SPEAK ABOUT REALITY USING WORDS THEY KNOW--
[02:06] Shinobu
In the end...
[02:07] Shinobu
The apparition is one thanks to the people...
One that exists because humans exist.
[02:12] Shinobu
This doesn't mean that the apparition
is dependent on humans though.
[02:17] Shinobu
It just means that if there is nobody
to observe, nobody is being observed.
[02:22] Shinobu
Even myself, who was
dubbed a legendary vampire...
[02:26] Shinobu
Without that legend, on that token,
I would not be a vampire.
[02:30] Shinobu
If you can't speak of the apparition...
[02:32] Shinobu
...it is not an apparition.
[02:36] Shinobu
A ghost story must be
a story of the supernatural.
SIGN WELL, THIS IS MORE THE VALUES AND WAY OF THINKING
FOR THAT UNPLEASANT GUY IN THE HAWAIIAN SHIRT--
[02:42] Shinobu
When you dig down,
an apparition is just a devotion.
[02:48] Koyomi
Devotion. Feelings.
[02:51] Koyomi
Can that perhaps be a feeling
similar to sympathizing with a doll?
[02:56] Koyomi
For tsukumo-gami, and what people
consider the "what-a-waste ghosts"...
[03:00] Koyomi
You could say that all of
them are created that way.
[03:04] Koyomi
The way of thinking that gods
can reside in all things.
[03:07] Koyomi
The belief that there is a myriad of gods...
I hear that's something unique to Japan.
[03:11] Koyomi
However, it doesn't matter
if it's living or not...
[03:14] Koyomi
...sympathy for something other than
humans exists all over the world.
[03:19] Koyomi
That is why ghost stories
are told all over the world.
[03:24] Koyomi
They are told...
[03:27] Koyomi
...by humans. That was a story that
I could see being convinced of.
[03:34] Koyomi
No, it was a story that I had
no choice but to be convinced of.
[03:38] Koyomi
After the numerous apparitions... As someone
who has told those stories of apparitions...
[03:45] Koyomi
About the vampire.
[03:46] Koyomi
About the cat.
[03:48] Koyomi
About the crab.
[03:49] Koyomi
About the snail.
[03:51] Koyomi
About the monkey.
[03:52] Koyomi
About the snake.
[03:54] Koyomi
About the bee.
[03:55] Koyomi
About the phoenix.
[03:57] Koyomi
As one that told those stories,
I have no choice but to be convinced.
[04:01] Koyomi
And now, I am once again trying
to tell the story. One of a doll...
[04:06] Koyomi
However, I sure feel that I have
spoken slightly too much.
[04:10] Koyomi
Urban legends...
[04:11] Koyomi
Street gossip...
[04:13] Koyomi
Secondhand information...
[04:16] Koyomi
If they are spoken of too much,
they become more like mere chitchat.
[04:19] Koyomi
The hair-raising feeling and
the imposing feeling both disappear.
[04:24] Koyomi
Thinking back to the "darkness" that
started the first day of the second term...
[04:28] Koyomi
...or the incident of Sengoku Nadeko's divine incident
concerning the snake god around the new year...
[04:34] Koyomi
I wonder how much longer things like this
will continue. I am slightly fed up with it.
SIGN TO THE APPARITIONS WHICH I MEET ONE AFTER ANOTHER
SIGN FEELING THAT TRICKERY IS STARTING TO NO LONGER WORK
SIGN I ALSO FEEL DESPAIR FROM IT--
[04:40] Koyomi
However, such a feeling is a luxury.
[04:44] Koyomi
The luxury that it
will continue forever...
[04:47] Koyomi
Such a thing does not exist in this
world. I should have known that.
[04:53] Koyomi
No, this "should have" and such... Nothing
starts by me saying that this late in the game.
[04:57] Koyomi
Every story is marked with
"The End" at some point.
SIGN WHAT IS THIS? THE ROWDY DAYS SEEM TO CONTINUE FOR JUST A BIT LONGER?
SIGN THE REPETITION OF SUCH WORDS
SIGN WILL SOMEDAY REACH ITS LIMIT.
[05:03] Koyomi
The story of the doll that I am going to tell is the
story where I came to "understand" that concept.
[05:09] Koyomi
A story that I understood
whether I wanted to or not.
[05:12] Koyomi
That is why this is the
beginning of the end.
[05:15] Koyomi
About how a human named Araragi Koyomi...
About how myself, Araragi Koyomi...
[05:19] Koyomi
...is going to end, and begin.
That is this story.

Big Brother! Damn you, it's morning!
[07:01] ---
You really need to get up already!
[07:07] Koyomi
Today, I suddenly wanted to think about
having or not having an alarm clock.
[07:12] Koyomi
Bluntly put, the phrase "alarm clock" and the
existence of such a thing is not something I like.

Arm clock al...
SIGN PARTS OF PASSAGE OMITTED
[07:41] Koyomi
To the phrase itself that states you awaken someone's
eyes, I feel crazy pushiness, and because of that...
SIGN PARTS OF PASSAGE OMITTED
[07:50] Koyomi
So, I would like to say
this to the alarm clock.
[07:53] Koyomi
Not from hatred,
but with a feeling of thanks.
[07:58] Koyomi
Thank you, and good night.
[08:01] Karen & Tsukihi
Don't sleep!
[08:06] Karen
Just because you don't want to wake up,
you're gonna use that big excuse?
[08:10] Tsukihi
In the first place, we're not clocks but
your little sisters. We're alarm sisters.
[08:15] Koyomi
Interesting. I'd like them to make
figures out of you or something.
[08:20] Koyomi
All right, I'm awake.
My consciousness has fully awoken.
[08:23] Koyomi
February 13th, huh?
[08:25] Koyomi
It's the day before Valentine's Day.
[08:28] Koyomi
Hey, little sisters, are you ready
to give me some chocolate?
[08:31] Tsukihi
Wow!
[08:34] Karen
You know, Big Brother, it's not time for
you to be worried about Valentine's Day.
[08:38] Karen
It's not, it's not.
[08:40] Karen
Come on, there's only a month left until
you take those college entrance exams.
[08:44] Karen
You get that?
[08:46] Karen
If you don't get it, you understand that
you're better off dead? I'll kill you!
[08:51] Koyomi
I don't recall being told that much,
and I have no idea why I'd be killed off.
[08:55] Karen
Geez. Geez, I say.
[08:57] Karen
That's why you're nothing
but trash, Big Brother.
[09:00] Karen
Now, hurry up and wake up to study.
Force yourself into that corner.
[09:03] Koyomi
This may be time for a last spurt, but I don't
think this is the time for me to corner myself...
[09:09] Koyomi
And as for you, if you let your guard down,
you won't be able to advance up a grade either.
[09:14] Koyomi
It's not time for you
to worry about just me.
[09:18] Koyomi
Fine, I'll tickle you!
[09:20] Koyomi
Take that!
[09:22] Karen
That doesn't work! I've trained well, so the
skin on the bottom of my feet are pretty thick!
[09:28] Koyomi
Fine, then I'll lick it!
[09:30] Koyomi
Take that!
SIGN I will especially keep it a secret whether I actually licked or Karen pulled her foot back before I licked to preserve the privacy of us siblings.
SIGN SECRET
[09:36] Karen
Looks like you're fine now.
[09:38] Karen
Then, I'm gonna go running a bit.
[09:41] Karen
I'm gonna go a run - ning.
[09:43] Karen
So have the bath ready for me.
[09:45] Karen
A bath so hot I'd get burned. If you'd like, how
about coming to run with me a bit, Big Brother?
[09:50] Koyomi
There's no way I'd be able
to keep up with your pace.
[09:53] Koyomi
You always run at the
pace of a 100-meter dash.
[09:56] Koyomi
And you run a full marathon. Like 42.195
kilometers! Go run with Kanbaru or something.
[10:01] Karen
See ya! Big Brother Daddy-O!
[10:08] Koyomi
Now...
[10:10] Koyomi
I guess I'll go get that
bath ready for Karen.
[10:14] Koyomi
This early in the morning,
I can take the effort...
[10:16] ---
...spare some time, and whip this
old body into preparing her bath for her.
[10:21] Tsukihi
You're so condescending, Big Brother.
[10:23] Tsukihi
You're forcing layers
of condescendence.
[10:26] Koyomi
She trains her body hard
like a samurai sword.
[10:31] Koyomi
But this sharp mind thinks, why doesn't
she join some athletic team or something?
[10:35] Tsukihi
Karen-chan can't join any athletic teams.
[10:38] Tsukihi
It's the rule of her karate. All students are
forbidden from joining any extracurriculars.
[10:43] Tsukihi
'Cause they're the type about execution.
'Cause they're totally the type about execution.
[10:46] Tsukihi
'Cause they're the type. 'Cause.
[10:49] Koyomi
I don't get it too well...
[10:52] Koyomi
Tsukihi, don't you think it's a waste to see
that talent of Karen's getting buried away?
[10:57] Tsukihi
Meow?
[10:58] Koyomi
Though not as much as me, she is for sure
a human that is overflowing in talent.
[11:04] Koyomi
Somehow, don't you want to have her
stand in the center stage or something?
[11:09] Koyomi
Not just tied down to
the dojo or the Fire Sisters.
[11:13] Koyomi
That's right, we can have her aim
to be an Olympic ath-- Ouch!
[11:15] Koyomi
What was that about?
[11:17] Tsukihi
What? You were the one that was
sputtering something irritating, Big Brother...
SIGN SEEMS LIKE SHE DOESN'T FEEL ANY DOUBT IN HER ACTIONS.
[11:22] Tsukihi
Someone that tries to sever the ties of the
Fire Sisters, even you, can't be forgiven.
[11:28] Koyomi
What? You were thinking
about disbanding too.
[11:31] Koyomi
You said you'd invite me to the
disbanding party filled with junior high girls.
[11:36] Tsukihi
It pisses me off when
someone else says it.
[11:39] Tsukihi
Well...
[11:40] Tsukihi
Even without someone like
you to tell me, Big Brother...
[11:43] ---
...it's for certain that Karen-chan will retire
from the Fire Sisters someday.
[11:48] Tsukihi
I'm sure lots of things will
happen once she's in high school.
[11:52] Tsukihi
I think all sorts of things will dazzle.
[11:54] Tsukihi
The environment will change too. But even then,
I don't think Karen-chan will quit going to that dojo.
[12:01] Tsukihi
Karen-chan is totally fascinated
with her master right now.
[12:06] Koyomi
I see...
[12:08] Koyomi
Well, I don't know how my
college entrance attempt will go.
[12:13] Koyomi
I don't know which
way it will tumble.
[12:15] Koyomi
However, no matter
what happens, in due time...
[12:18] ---
...my environment will for sure
change more so than for Karen.
[12:22] Koyomi
Before that, to Karen and Tsukihi...
[12:24] Koyomi
My heart as the big brother feels
I have to instill some logic into them.
[12:28] Koyomi
Surprisingly enough, such a thought
is not lacking from my brain.
[12:32] Koyomi
Right. It's high time that
the Fire Sisters woke up.

As do I.

Appearrance (teisai)!
No wait, you're the worst (saitei)!
SIGN THE WORST
[13:08] Tsukihi
You said you were drawing a bath just for Karen-chan,
but you were planning on bathing first!
[13:13] Tsukihi
You're the worst!

The worst!
[13:15] Tsukihi
The worst!
[13:16] Tsukihi
The worst!
[13:17] Koyomi
Well, looking at how you are...
[13:20] Koyomi
Looking at your lack of modesty there, I can't help but
think that you were thinking the exact same thing...
[13:26] Tsukihi
In any case, Big Brother,
get out of my way.
[13:28] Tsukihi
I'm going to soak in that bath.
[13:30] Tsukihi
If you get in my way, even you
won't see the end of it, Big Brother...
[13:36] Koyomi
My little sister...
[13:37] Koyomi
If you insist on taking this bath, you need to
defeat your big brother here... Look out!
[13:43] Koyomi
That was dangerous!
[13:44] Koyomi
What the hell are you doing?
[13:46] Tsukihi
You just said,
"Defeat your big brother."
[13:53] Koyomi
If you want to pass here...
[13:54] Koyomi
So scary!
[14:00] Tsukihi
Okay, got it. Big Brother,
let's take the middle path.
[14:03] Koyomi
The middle path?
[14:04] Tsukihi
Let's take the middle
path and soak together.

SIGN "Hey you, are you all talk? I guess you just rattle off, you precocious kid. You didn't have the guts to take a bath with me in reality, did you, you chicken girl!"
SIGN It is not a bath as spacious as the anime version, or rather it is an average sized bath for an average family,
[14:31] Tsukihi
Big Brother...
[14:32] Koyomi
What is it, little sister?
[14:34] Tsukihi
Please talk a little. This is a bit
more awkward than I thought.
[14:37] Koyomi
Oh... If you're feeling awkward,
you can leave, Tsukihi.
[14:42] Koyomi
You really do act like
the good girl, don't you.
[14:45] Koyomi
If you're going to take back what
you said, don't say it to begin with.
[14:48] Tsukihi
Same for you, Big Brother. This is what
"reaping what you sow" means.
[14:52] Tsukihi
I was just saying I felt awkward
looking at your meager body, Big Brother.
[14:56] Tsukihi
I feel nothing about the fact we're bathing together.
I absolutely feel nothing at all about that.
[15:01] Tsukihi
Or, could it be, Big Brother, you want to hurry out because
you're lusting after your own sister's naked body?
[15:07] Tsukihi
Do you want to
leave the bathing area?
[15:09] Koyomi
You're gonna say that twice?
Are you really going to?
[15:12] Koyomi
You're the one that is
charmed by my body in reality.
[15:15] Koyomi
You actually want to touch
these toned abs, don't you?
[15:18] Tsukihi
I don't think that at all.
[15:21] Tsukihi
Not that eight-pack of abs...
[15:23] Koyomi
Don't you be counting. Don't you be
counting how my abs are built. You're staring!
[15:27] Tsukihi
As for you, you're totally staring
at your little sister's boobs.
[15:31] Koyomi
Impossible.
[15:32] Koyomi
It's not like this is the
first time I've seen them.
[15:36] Tsukihi
Isn't that strange? For a big brother
to have seen his little sister's boobs.
[15:40] Koyomi
All of it! I know everything there is to
know about those two clumps of meat.
[15:44] Tsukihi
Don't call them clumps of meat. Don't make a
girl's breasts sound like something at a Korean BBQ.
[15:53] Tsukihi
Big Brother, then, you know...
[15:55] Tsukihi
Let's wash our hair
one person at a time.
[15:57] Tsukihi
We both have way too much hair...
[16:00] ---
...so it's inefficient to be side by side like
this to wash our hair. It's uneconomical.
[16:05] Koyomi
I don't think economy has anything
to do with washing your hair, but...
SIGN SOMETIMES SHE SAYS THINGS THAT ARE JUST RIGHT.
[16:10] Koyomi
But still, Tsukihi, what are we going
to do if we can't be side by side?
[16:13] Koyomi
One person washing at a time... What kind of
position are you specifically talking about?
[16:18] Tsukihi
In other words, we do this!

I'm going to wash your
hair like this, Big Brother!

Amazing! You're Astro Big Brother!
You're Super Big Brother!

Don't phrase it like I'm a
Super Saiyan or something.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.
[16:46] Tsukihi
I'll continue on and wash your body now.
[16:50] Tsukihi
Big Brother, Big Brother!
[16:51] Koyomi
What? You have that voice as if
you just came up with something.
[16:56] Tsukihi
I just thought of a one-liner.
A really funny one.
[16:59] Koyomi
What's with how you brought
that up? Makes me uneasy.
[17:01] Tsukihi
Come on, come on,
look over here. Over here.
[17:04] Koyomi
What is it?
[17:06] Tsukihi
The title: Metropolitan Ordinance.
[17:07] Koyomi
So scary!
[17:10] Tsukihi
What are you doing?
[17:11] Koyomi
No, what are you doing!
[17:15] Tsukihi
To pose like this and
raise both arms up together...
[17:19] Tsukihi
...and saying "Sky Tree!" might have
been more roundabout and better.
SIGN BUT IN THAT CASE, IT MIGHT BE BETTER FOR KAREN TO DO SO--
[17:25] Tsukihi
Come on, I'll wash your body,
so you can look away now.
[17:29] Tsukihi
Suds, suds!
[17:31] Tsukihi
Suds, suds!
[17:33] Tsukihi
Suds, suds!
[17:41] Koyomi
Hmm... Tsukihi...
[17:44] Koyomi
I don't know if you're wishing for something or
not, but why don't you at least cut your bangs?
[17:48] Tsukihi
If I do a half-assed job
cutting my hair...
[17:51] ---
...the tips of my bangs go into
my eyes, poking them for much pain.
[17:55] Tsukihi
No matter how much loving care I do,
hair will always hurt if it gets into my eyes.
[18:01] Koyomi
I see.
SIGN I DON'T GET IT TOO WELL.
[18:04] Tsukihi
Speaking of bangs...
[18:06] Tsukihi
Nadeko-chan was released
from the hospital.
[18:09] Koyomi
I see... That's good to hear.
[18:12] Tsukihi
Huh? Your reaction wasn't as responsive as
I thought. I thought you'd do a little dance in joy.
[18:19] Koyomi
I see.
[18:20] Koyomi
All I could say was "I see." I had
no qualifications to say anything else.
[18:24] Koyomi
But I'm glad if she was able
to be released from the hospital.
[18:27] Koyomi
Though I'm too ashamed
to see Sengoku ever again...
[18:31] Koyomi
But still, I can say that I am glad.
[18:33] Koyomi
Somehow, I got to be
able to think that way.
[18:37] Tsukihi
Big Brother.
[18:39] Koyomi
What?
[18:40] Tsukihi
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
[18:42] Tsukihi
My (ouch) head (ouch)...
[18:44] Tsukihi
Are you trying to (ouch) crush it (ouch)
like a (ouch) vise (ouch, ouch)?
[18:48] Koyomi
Oh, sorry, sorry. It seems like I put
too much power in my hands there.
[18:55] Tsukihi
I'm sure you don't want me
to say this to you, Big Brother...
[19:00] Tsukihi
I'll say it all the more so because
you don't want me to say it.
[19:03] Tsukihi
You're carrying too much weight, you know?
You're pressuring yourself too much.
[19:07] Tsukihi
The stuff about Nadeko-chan wasn't something you
could carry on your shoulders, let alone handle!
SIGN SHE SAYS SUCH OBVIOUS THINGS,
SIGN BUT ESPECIALLY TSUKIHI, ABOUT SENGOKU - ABOUT HOW SHE WAS MISSING FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS
SIGN IS NOT SOMETHING SHE KNOWS THE MINUTE DETAILS OF.
[19:15] Tsukihi
Well, go see her
again someday, will you?
[19:17] Tsukihi
Nadeko-chan has to rest
in her home for a while...
[19:20] ---
...and it's probably impossible for you for a while
anyway because you'll be busy with college entrance.
[19:25] Koyomi
Now that Sengoku Nadeko has descended from the
mountain and her "disappearance" has been solved...
[19:30] Koyomi
Of course, that is a good thing.
A wonderful thing...
[19:34] Koyomi
However, that good, wonderful thing
has created in return, once again...
[19:38] Koyomi
...a ghastly unstable area out of
this town. Or so I was told.
[19:43] Koyomi
And without solving that issue, or at least doing
something about that issue if it can't be solved...
[19:49] Koyomi
...trouble will continue
to brew within this town.
[19:53] Koyomi
I must say, leaving that here and leaving this town is
slightly regretful. Let alone the stuff about my sisters.
[20:00] Koyomi
Even if everything doesn't turn out completely fine,
I have to at least make sure there is good balance here.
[20:10] Koyomi
Balance, huh?
[20:11] Koyomi
Originally, that wasn't my role at all.
[20:16] Tsukihi
It's not your role.
[20:19] Tsukihi
You carry too much weight
on your shoulders, Big Brother.
[20:22] Tsukihi
It's not like you can solve
anything and everything, Big Brother.
[20:27] Tsukihi
You can toss stuff aside, leave it alone,
and know your place in the world...
[20:31] Tsukihi
You can live within your means and leave stuff for others.
I don't think that's bad, you know? About Nadeko-chan...
[20:36] Tsukihi
About Karen-chan...
[20:38] Tsukihi
And about me, Big Brother...
[20:40] Tsukihi
You worry about us too much.
[20:46] Tsukihi
Or rather, Big Brother, how are your
college entrance studies really going?
[20:51] Tsukihi
You think one more month of
studying will get you somewhere?
[20:54] Koyomi
Somewhere... is something
I think I can get to.
SIGN SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO ANSWER.
SIGN EVEN IF IT WASN'T, I HAD TO ANSWER THAT WAY.
SIGN SUCH A SAD SELF-HYPNOSIS.
[21:00] Tsukihi
That's why I'm saying it's time for you to corner yourself,
not to carry stuff on your shoulders, Big Brother.
[21:06] Tsukihi
I'm saying something
good here, Big Brother.
[21:08] Tsukihi
Is it really time for you to be washing
your little sister's body right now?
[21:12] Koyomi
Well, about this, it's not like I feel
responsibility and assign myself...
[21:16] ---
...to a particular role of taking care
of you as you take your bath at all...
[21:21] Koyomi
It's not that I'm lathering
you up or fondling you.
[21:25] Tsukihi
In the first place, this hasn't solved
the fundamental problem at all.
[21:30] Tsukihi
By going in order for washing ourselves, we solved the
problem about how cramped the washing space was.
[21:35] Tsukihi
But, the first objective
of the tub's narrowness...
[21:39] Koyomi
Yeah, that's right...
[21:41] ---
Even for the idea of soaking together,
soaking with a young girl would be better...
[21:45] Koyomi
...but the volume of this tub makes it difficult
for me to do it with someone in junior high.
[21:50] Tsukihi
A young girl?
[21:51] Koyomi
Nothing. Memories, begone!
[21:59] Tsukihi
Do more of that!
[22:03] Tsukihi
Do more of that! Do more of that!
[22:04] Tsukihi
Hey, do more of that!
More, more, more, more, more!
[22:07] Koyomi
The mirror was showing
Tsukihi's naked body...
[22:11] ---
That was a natural phenomenon,
and therefore something very natural.
[22:16] Koyomi
However, there was
something unnatural as well.
[22:19] Koyomi
No. There was something supernatural.
[22:22] Koyomi
My guise, the guise of Araragi Koyomi,
was not present within that mirror.
[22:30] Koyomi
The mirror was not showing me.
[22:33] Koyomi
As if I was an immortal
apparition... A vampire.

Starting with the conclusion, you've

And that goes right along
with what you presumed.
[25:10] Shinobu
The fact that you don't show up in the mirror is not
a phenomenon caused by some other apparition...
[25:15] ---
...but that of a vampire.
[25:17] Koyomi
The phenomenon of a vampire? But, see Shinobu,
I'm telling you to look closely. My pinky toe...
[25:22] Shinobu
"Look closely" is my line.
That toe has been healing.
[25:27] Koyomi
Eh?
[25:28] Koyomi
Well, it doesn't look like
it has healed much...
[25:31] Shinobu
That's only on the surface...
Deep inside, it's a different story.
[25:35] Koyomi
Deep inside?
[25:36] Shinobu
Most likely, when your little sister stomped on top
of it, that pinky toe had suffered a broken bone.
[25:42] Koyomi
A broken bone?
[25:43] Shinobu
In other words, you are healing,
even if it's not perfectly healed.
[25:48] Koyomi
But, how I'm healing is different from what I
imagined would happen when I'm a vampire...
[25:54] Shinobu
I know you're dissatisfied with the conclusion. But, you
know, I recommend closing those curtains over there.
[26:02] Shinobu
If a vampire with only that level of self-healing basked
in sunlight, they wouldn't even burst into flames.
[26:07] Shinobu
They'd just turn to ash and
it would be the end of them.
[26:11] Shinobu
That's right. How about
you ask that other one?

going on in your physical body right now.

Let's see...
[27:28] Shinobu
What about Kaiki? Can't you
at least get in touch with Kaiki?
[27:33] Shinobu
You could contact Kaiki, and have him
put you through to Kagenui? How's that?
[27:37] Koyomi
You're really going to say that?
[27:39] Koyomi
That's a last-ditch effort, or rather, something
I can't even use as my last resort, Shinobu-chan.

Don't you add that
"-chan" honorific on me.
[27:48] Shinobu

Candidate? There was someone else?
Oh I see, it's Hanekawa, isn't it?

What is this? The feeling of not wanting
to seek help is growing more and more...

Right. I can't recommend
you directly relying on her, either.
[28:27] Shinobu
I didn't mean it as a joke,
but I just put that out on the table.
[28:31] Shinobu
So perhaps contacting Gaen after all...
[28:33] ---
...and getting in touch with Kagenui and company that
way is probably the best choice you have at present.

...is from the expectations that you will solve the
physical problems ailing my master. Don't forget that.
[39:23] Yoduru [Yozuru]
No, that's why I'm apologizing.
About stepping on your head.
[39:27] ---
About stepping on the
short head of your prideful self.
[39:31] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Don't hold it against me. You're so
gloomy because you're a night-walker!
[39:36] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Sorry, sorry. I'll be careful
to not step on it again.
[39:41] Koyomi
Please stop that, Kagenui-san.
[39:45] Koyomi
And Shinobu, you give it up as well.
[39:47] Koyomi
No need to open wounds
trying to take back the past.
[39:51] Shinobu
B-But...
[39:58] Koyomi
Back then, you used your body to cover for me,
so that Kagenui-san wouldn't stomp on my head.
[40:04] Koyomi
That was a devoted act of self-sacrifice.
[40:06] ---
If you can think of it that way,
your pride isn't hurt, right?
[40:10] Shinobu
Oh, right...
[40:12] Shinobu
Right, right! I covered
for you! I'm so awesome!
[40:18] Yotsugi
I really lost against
someone like this?
[40:22] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Now, we have all the actors on stage, all the information
gathered, and all the answers figured out, I guess.
[40:28] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Too bad I can't pause here
for a challenge to the readers...
[40:32] ---
...but let's get on with the resolution
arc now. Time to unravel the mystery.
[40:36] Koyomi
Unravel the mystery...
[40:37] Shinobu
All right. Begin.
[40:40] Yotsugi
Araragi Koyomi. Devilish Big Brother.
[40:43] Yotsugi
Your body as of now, or rather,
currently, slowly, bit by bit...
[40:49] ---
...is progressing towards turning into
a vampire. That is, well, the current status.
[40:53] Koyomi
Turning into a vampire... Hmm...
[40:56] Yoduru [Yozuru]
What, mister, you're
more calm than I expected.
[40:58] Koyomi
Well I mean, until now, I've turned
into a vampire numerous times...
[41:03] Koyomi
It's not for nothing that I've racked up
many experiences the past year...
[41:07] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Experiences, huh?
[41:08] Yoduru [Yozuru]
I think you've racked up
stupidity, not experience.
[41:13] Yotsugi
Big Sister Shinobu,
I want to make one final confirmation.
[41:16] Yotsugi
You really have
no idea what's going on?
[41:19] Yotsugi
From your viewpoint, about the reason why
your master, Devilish Big Brother of a master...
[41:24] ---
...is currently in a situation like this.
[41:26] Shinobu
If I did, I wouldn't
rely on you guys.
[41:29] Yoduru [Yozuru]
You haven't heard
from Oshino-kun, either?
[41:31] Shinobu
I haven't heard anything.
[41:33] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Well, that figures...
[41:35] Yoduru [Yozuru]
What Oshino-kun couldn't see through was
none other than your own actions, Araragi-kun.
[41:44] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Let's see, Araragi-kun...
[41:47] ---
You turned into a
vampire too many times.
[41:51] Yotsugi
You gained too much experience...
Which means you did too many stupid things.
[41:55] Yotsugi
So, Big Demo-ther.
[41:57] Yotsugi
In solving all the various incidents, you relied
too heavily on your powers as a vampire.
[42:02] Yotsugi
And as a result, your soul fundamentally, completely
independently from previously Heart-under-blade...
[42:08] Yotsugi
...is starting to lean
towards being a vampire.
[42:10] Koyomi
Lean towards...
[42:12] Yotsugi
Literally turned into
a vampire and became one.

You got accustomed to

[42:30] Koyomi
Hold on...
[42:32] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Among the specialists, some end up
becoming apparitions themselves like that.
[42:37] Yoduru [Yozuru]
So we don't end up that way, we put up
a substitute in between like this, for instance.
[42:43] Yoduru [Yozuru]
What Oshino-kun couldn't
calculate was just that.
[42:46] Yoduru [Yozuru]
No, nothing was
calculated from the beginning.
[42:49] ---
So I can't say something couldn't
be calculated if it wasn't at all.
[42:53] Yoduru [Yozuru]
So, it would be something unexpected.
[42:56] Yotsugi
The worst part of it all was, of course,
the case about the snake god.
[43:00] Yotsugi
Back then, Big Demo-ther, you became a vampire
way, way, way too much... Virtually every day.
[43:08] Koyomi
Of course...

Because Sengoku

You've had enough, right? You've
experienced plenty of being immortal already.
[48:05] Yotsugi
There's no doubt about this because I'm telling you as

[48:10] Yotsugi
Or rather, even if you think about it,
putting us aside, that's how it should be.

If you say it's shallow, it perhaps is.

not be that bad, right?

ghosts, are all pretty much dead to begin with.
[53:00] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Right, Yotsugi?
[53:02] Yotsugi
Right...
[53:03] Yotsugi
The criteria around there
is a bit fuzzy, Big Demo-ther.
[53:06] Yotsugi
Depending on how you interpret "immortal,"
you might even be able to say...
[53:10] ---
...that Big Sister's specialty is
basically every apparition out there.
[53:15] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Honestly, it's not like there aren't any other specialists
out there that concentrate on immortal apparitions.
[53:21] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Well, it's true that I only know about one other guy
that's like me who just wants to kill them all...
[53:27] Koyomi
...no matter what the cost.

But that guy is like a total hermit, so you
don't have to worry about him, Araragi-kun.

SIGN IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD
[57:20] Koyomi
And by that you mean?
[57:21] Yotsugi
A bird.
[57:22] Yotsugi
The shape of a bird...
[57:24] Yotsugi
The phoenix.
[57:26] Yotsugi
In other words, that crane, that group
of birds said to live a thousand years...
[57:32] Yotsugi
...points to your little sister,
Araragi Tsukihi.
SIGN THREE
SIGN FROM HERE
[57:39] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Teori Tadatsuru. A dollmaster.
[57:42] Koyomi
Tadatsuru... was it?
[57:46] Koyomi
Tadatsuru? But...
SIGN SEIGEN (TADATSURU)
SIGN YOGEN (YODURU)
SIGN YOSETSU (YOTSUGI)
[57:50] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Tadatsuru is a dollmaster,
and well, yeah, a specialist...
[57:54] Yoduru [Yozuru]
And just like me, he's a specialist that
specializes in immortal apparitions.
[57:59] Koyomi
You're saying he was the one that abducted
my little sisters and my junior classmate?
[58:03] Koyomi
Then, what in the world
is his objective?
[58:06] Yoduru [Yozuru]
All I can say is that Tadatsuru tends to act on
grudges and is a softie when it comes to work.
[58:14] Yoduru [Yozuru]
So the situation isn't as hopeless as you
may be thinking right now, Araragi-kun.
[58:20] Yoduru [Yozuru]
However...
[58:21] Koyomi
However, what?
[58:23] Yoduru [Yozuru]
This time, you can't deal with this situation
by relying on your powers as a vampire.
[58:29] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Things won't go as they usually go.
You need to engrave that into your heart.
[58:33] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Before you understand the
situation and become enraged.
[58:37] Yoduru [Yozuru]
It also means that previously Heart-under-blade
can't turn into a vampire either.
[58:44] Koyomi
Yes...
[58:45] Koyomi
...this is somewhat
of a strange tale.
[58:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Hm? What is, Araragi-kun?
[58:50] Koyomi
Well, in the first place, back in spring break,
I acted to seal away Shinobu's powers...
[58:56] Koyomi
...and that was why
I sought such a solution.
[58:58] Koyomi
But before I realized it, I used those
powers of Shinobu to clear up matters.
[59:04] Koyomi
That power was temporary, something I
merely borrowed. Yet, before I realized it...
[59:08] Koyomi
...I was using it as if it was ordinary
to do so, as if it was already mine.
[59:12] Koyomi
It may be natural for me to receive one
divine punishment after another at this rate.
[59:16] Yotsugi
Divine punishment?
[59:18] Yotsugi
I don't know about that.
[59:20] Yotsugi
It's true that you asked for this
situation to happen, Devilish Big Brother.
[59:25] Yotsugi
But whether or not
this is divine punishment...
[59:30] Koyomi
What do you mean by that?
[59:31] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Well, the timing is too impeccable
for this to be a mere coincidence.
[59:37] Yoduru [Yozuru]
When the timing is too impeccable, if it really isn't just a
coincidence, then it's mostly the doings of some person.
SIGN NOT THE DOINGS OF HEAVEN
SIGN BUT THE DOINGS OF A HUMAN
[59:45] Yoduru [Yozuru]
On the day you don't
see your reflection...
[59:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]
...in other words the day your metamorphosis
into a vampire surpassed being human...
[59:51] Yoduru [Yozuru]
...your junior classmate and your little sisters are
assaulted by someone I know. That's somehow...
[59:57] Yoduru [Yozuru]
That feels like too many
chance happenings at once.
[1:00:01] Koyomi
It's not that uncommon for the collection
of unpaid tabs to all come at once lately.
[1:00:07] Koyomi
Feels like lately
everything is of that sort.
[1:00:09] Koyomi
It's as if what I had built up,
what I had shelved away...
[1:00:14] Koyomi
...is all crashing down
on me at once.
[1:00:18] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Maybe someone crashed it
down on you? Like a game of Jenga.
[1:00:22] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Listening to Gaen-senpai's story, and
listening to Yotsugi's story, it feels that way.
[1:00:33] Koyomi
Ononoki-chan's story... Perhaps that was the
story of the Darkness the other day...
[1:00:37] ---
The story about Hachikuji Mayoi?
[1:00:39] Koyomi
Right. That was the epitome
of what I had shelved away.
[1:00:45] Koyomi
And the epitome of it
being crashed down on me.
[1:00:54] Koyomi
Can I ask one thing, Kagenui-san?
[1:00:57] Yoduru [Yozuru]
What?
[1:00:58] Koyomi
Um, this is a weird way to put it,
but this guy named Teori Tadatsuru...
[1:01:03] Koyomi
Is he the type that can't forgive
mistakes or injustice? A man of justice?
[1:01:07] Koyomi
Someone that thinks there is a right shape for this
world, and that it ought to be in that right shape...
[1:01:13] Koyomi
Is he one that holds
such an ideology?
[1:01:16] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Ideology?
[1:01:18] Yoduru [Yozuru]
That makes me laugh.
[1:01:19] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Stuff like that is completely unrelated to him. Let's
say Tadatsuru actually had such a thing as ideology...
[1:01:25] Yoduru [Yozuru]
If so, it would be aesthetic curiosity, I think. Though,
I don't want to use the term "aesthetic" to describe it.
SIGN AESTHETIC CURIOSITY?
[1:01:33] Yoduru [Yozuru]
The sensibility that things that god
didn't create are what is beautiful...
[1:01:37] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Someone with the sensibility that man-made
existences known as apparitions are beautiful.
[1:01:42] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Basically someone that thinks he's an
artist, and that's where he's a softie.
[1:01:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]
In that aspect, he doesn't have an
ideology, but some sort of obsession.
[1:01:53] Yoduru [Yozuru]
So your little sisters and
junior classmate are still safe.
[1:01:56] Yoduru [Yozuru]
At least, safer than
me going after them.
[1:02:00] Koyomi
But why is someone who
has the sensibility to think...
[1:02:03] ---
...apparitions are beautiful going
after apparitions as a specialist?
[1:02:07] Yoduru [Yozuru]
His position may be
closer to Oshino-kun than others.
[1:02:10] ---
It's not like defeating them, but more like
making a living off mediating here and there...
[1:02:15] Yoduru [Yozuru]
The middleman that mediates, I guess.
[1:02:20] Koyomi
So, as the opponent that I need
to confront at this point in time...
[1:02:24] Koyomi
...this Tadatsuru person
sounds like the perfect specialist.
[1:02:30] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Don't drown too much.
[1:02:32] Yoduru [Yozuru]
I mean to yourself, not your powers.
That's nothing other than narcissism.
SIGN NARCISSISM
[1:02:37] Koyomi
Narcissism...
[1:02:38] Yoduru [Yozuru]
I mean, don't drown
yourself in a tragic situation.
[1:02:41] Yoduru [Yozuru]
You merely had some weird idiot kidnap your
two little sisters and your junior classmate.
[1:02:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Concerning that,
you're a one-sided victim.
[1:02:50] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Let's say that, in the rare case, that there
is something like divine punishment...
[1:02:55] Yoduru [Yozuru]
...that only goes so far towards
you losing your humanity.
[1:02:58] Yoduru [Yozuru]
It has nothing to do with those three
being targeted for some means.
[1:03:03] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Right, Yotsugi?
[1:03:05] Yotsugi
Right.
[1:03:06] Koyomi
Then, I have to rescue those three
that have nothing to do with this...
[1:03:11] Koyomi
Finally, in any case, I have to.
[1:03:14] Koyomi
Kagenui-san, um...
[1:03:18] Koyomi
Are you going to help me?
If anything, to rescue the three of them.
[1:03:23] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Gaen-senpai told me
that I should, so I will...
[1:03:27] Yoduru [Yozuru]
I will just go with the
flow of the situation.
[1:03:30] ---
However, let me say this in advance...
I can't get directly involved.
[1:03:35] Yoduru [Yozuru]
All my powers are specialized for
defeating immortal apparitions.
[1:03:40] ---
I can't use them against humans.
[1:03:43] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Don't look like that.
I'll continue to lend you Yotsugi...
[1:03:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]
And I'll lend you
some knowledge.
[1:03:49] Yoduru [Yozuru]
In any case, what you need to do first is
to inspect those thousand folded cranes.
[1:03:53] Yoduru [Yozuru]
If that's a message, it should be
a message for you, Araragi-kun.
[1:03:58] Koyomi
For me?
[1:03:59] Yoduru [Yozuru]
I don't know how much of
the situation he has a hold of...
[1:04:03] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Araragi-kun, what Tadatsuru
is after is basically you.
[1:04:08] Koyomi
Me? No, but, Tadatsuru is after...
[1:04:11] Yoduru [Yozuru]
You, and previously
Heart-under-blade.
[1:04:16] Yoduru [Yozuru]
The acknowledgment submitted by
Oshino-kun that you two are harmless...
[1:04:20] ---
...is only valid within
Gaen-senpai's network.
[1:04:25] Yoduru [Yozuru]
It won't work against Tadatsuru,
who lies outside of it.
[1:04:29] Koyomi
Which means, this is really the worst
timing possible for this to happen.
[1:04:33] Koyomi
Right when Shinobu and I get into
a condition where we're unable to fight...
[1:04:37] Koyomi
...someone who is
really after us shows up.

[1:05:09] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Araragi-kun, your mission

[1:05:23] Koyomi
Then, Ononoki-chan, I hate to ask, but can you do one
more jump and give me a shortcut to head over?
[1:05:28] Koyomi
The location of North Shirahebi Shrine is...
[1:05:30] Yoduru [Yozuru]
You probably shouldn't be doing that.
[1:05:33] Yoduru [Yozuru]
Landing from up above, assaulting from
the sky where there's nothing to hide you...
[1:05:38] Yoduru [Yozuru]
If you make yourself openly seen,
that alone will take you out.
[1:05:41] Koyomi
Then, I'll have Ononoki-chan transfer us by
jumping to a place close to the mountain...
[1:05:45] ---
...and we should climb up
the mountain by foot, I guess?
[1:05:49] Yoduru [Yozuru]

using the standard route.

Even if we were to meet up, there's no way
we'd be able to do some team play anyway.
[1:06:07] Koyomi
Understood. Then...
[1:06:10] Koyomi
By the way, Ononoki-chan, just a tiny bit, somehow
just a tad... Can you fly closer to the ground?
[1:06:18] Yotsugi
Impossible to do low-altitude.

I can go at a slower speed.

But nowadays, that's true.
That's what the settings for me are.

You relied on them too much, didn't you?
My uncle said it pretty often.

That's why I have no regrets.
To a surprising degree.

supposed to be twisted around.

In the past, you wouldn't have been able

Back in spring break, you know, when you thought
that you couldn't go back to being human again...
[1:10:16] Ougi
...didn't you shut yourself up in
the gym closet and cry and stuff?

No, I didn't say anything. I was merely
reciting some random predictions.
[1:11:11] Yotsugi
Even if they were true,

[1:11:15] Yotsugi
Oh, but she did state what the

[1:11:20] Yotsugi
But what does it
mean to be proper?
[1:11:23] Yotsugi
What is correct?
[1:11:26] Yotsugi
I'm an apparition, a shikigami,
a corpse, and a tsukumo-gami...
[1:11:30] Yotsugi
That means that by this alone,
the conclusion is that I'm not proper.
[1:11:34] Yotsugi
I'm fooling about and living using every trick in the
book, or rather, dying using every trick in the book.
[1:11:40] Yotsugi

Oh... Even though he's the guy that abducted
three people dear to you, Big Demo-ther?

[1:12:27] Yotsugi
Tadatsuru is indeed the same as Big Sister in the
way that he specializes in immortal apparitions.
[1:12:32] Yotsugi
But the meaning of an immortal
apparition is slightly different.
[1:12:36] Yotsugi
Big Sister specializes in the
immortal but still living apparitions.
[1:12:40] Yotsugi
Tadatsuru deals with apparitions
that are primarily dead.
[1:12:44] Yotsugi
That is the reason why
they counter each other.

[1:13:22] Yotsugi
The feeling that Tadatsuru and Big Sister
don't get along... That they quarrel to this day...
[1:13:26] Yotsugi
The reason lies with
me in the first place.
[1:13:29] Yotsugi
They were fighting for ownership
of the shikigami known as me.

[1:13:45] Yotsugi
Ever since, the discord between
Big Sister and Tadatsuru has continued.
[1:13:50] Yotsugi
It wasn't like they were close friends to begin with,
but that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
[1:13:57] Yotsugi
Well, for a stray like Tadatsuru, someone
that gets along with him is hard to come by.
[1:14:02] Yotsugi
If I was forced to pick someone, I'd
probably say Oshino Meme was the only one.
[1:14:07] Yotsugi
Why I suddenly started talking about this,
Big Demo-ther, is that in the worst-case scenario...
[1:14:12] Yotsugi
In the worst-case scenario...
[1:14:14] ---
In other words, if you have to face Tadatsuru,
but you end up being no match for him...
[1:14:18] Yotsugi
...and Big Sister doesn't make it here in time,
and the hostages are about to be killed...
[1:14:22] ---
...and you are also about
to be killed, Big Demo-ther...
[1:14:25] Yotsugi
If there is no other way...
[1:14:27] ---
If you can't do anything about it...
[1:14:29] ---
If you strike up a deal to hand me,
an apparition, over to him...
[1:14:32] Yotsugi
...I'm sure Tadatsuru will oblige.
That's what I wanted to say.
[1:14:37] Yotsugi
He still wants me to this day.
[1:14:40] Yotsugi
I'm sure that's the purpose behind Big Sister
lending me out to you, Big Demo-ther.
[1:14:47] Yotsugi
Wow.
[1:14:49] Koyomi
Wow, Ononoki-chan, you wear this kind of underwear?
It's gonna be tough when they make your figurine.
[1:14:54] Yotsugi
What are you doing, Big Demo-ther?
[1:14:56] Koyomi
Those that say stupid things
get stupid things done to them...
[1:15:00] Koyomi
There is no way that I would offer you
because I value my life so much.
[1:15:05] Koyomi
Belittling me like that is troubling.
[1:15:07] Yotsugi
And I'm troubled
if you flip my skirt.
[1:15:10] Koyomi
Even Kagenui-san didn't mean it that
way when she lent you to me, Ononoki-chan.
[1:15:14] Koyomi
I'm sure she lent you to me because you
can take care of helpless guys like me.
[1:15:20] Koyomi
Isn't that so?
[1:15:21] Yotsugi
But when I'm entrusted with someone
that deliberately flips a little girl's skirt...
[1:15:25] Koyomi
No, I'm saying something good here, so talk
about me other than when I'm flipping skirts.
[1:15:30] Yotsugi
If you want me to,
then let me go first.
[1:15:32] Yotsugi
You're making a huge mistake if you're thinking
I have no sense of shame because I am a doll.
[1:15:38] Koyomi
Good god. I was turned on by Ononoki-chan's aura
that seemed to lack a sense of shame...
[1:15:42] Koyomi
No wait, the lack of expression that
seems to show no sense of shame...
[1:15:46] ---
...when she actually has some
can instead be a turn-on.
[1:15:51] Koyomi
If I am to set up a plan that seems
like a plan, this is how it goes, Ononoki-chan.
[1:15:55] Koyomi
I am going to be the decoy
and keep Tadatsuru's attention.
[1:15:59] Koyomi
The plan is I want you to watch for
that chance and rescue the three.
[1:16:03] Koyomi
After rescuing them, use Unlimited Rulebook
to immediately get away. I don't care where.
[1:16:08] Yotsugi
So, according to that plan, what will
you do afterwards, Big Demo-ther?
[1:16:12] Yotsugi
Just yourself... Two, if you count
previously Heart-under-blade...
[1:16:16] ---
...but you'll be left at the shrine with Tadatsuru
without combat efficiency, a.k.a. me...
[1:16:20] Yotsugi
So what will you do?
[1:16:21] Koyomi
It's fine. I have my
secret plan... The grovel.
[1:16:26] Yotsugi
You should keep that a
secret for your entire life.
[1:16:29] Yotsugi
Tadatsuru won't forgive
you just by groveling.
[1:16:32] Yotsugi
According to Tadatsuru's standards, even if you
aren't a vampire right now, Big Demo-ther...
[1:16:36] Yotsugi
...once you've turned into a vampire even
once, you're a target for extermination.
[1:16:41] Yotsugi
Besides, no matter
how much you groveled....
[1:16:44] ---
...don't forget that a young girl that used to be
a vampire is currently residing in your shadow.
[1:16:48] Yotsugi
In the rare chance, the one-in-a-million chance, that
you were forgiven, it's a no-go for Big Sister Shinobu.
[1:16:54] Yotsugi
No way. Impossible.
[1:16:56] Yotsugi
Oh, but there might be one way.
[1:16:59] Yotsugi
By offering someone that
used to be an apparition...
[1:17:02] ---
...known as Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade,
he might at least turn a blind eye to you.
[1:17:09] Koyomi
The reverse of that pattern may exist,
but that won't ever happen, Ononoki-chan.
[1:17:13] Yotsugi
Figures. You weren't willing to offer me to him, so
there's no way you'd offer Big Sister Shinobu to him.
[1:17:20] Yotsugi
But Big Demo-ther, what you're saying
hasn't changed from before at all.
[1:17:25] ---
You haven't matured
into an adult one bit.
[1:17:27] Yotsugi
For you to safely recover all three hostages,
without giving up me or Big Sister Shinobu...
[1:17:32] ---
...and you yourself to
come out safe and sound...
[1:17:35] Yotsugi
That sounds reckless.
[1:17:37] Yotsugi
Story goes that anyone trying to get
something done needs compensation. Right?
[1:17:42] Yotsugi
As payment for relying too much
on the vampire's powers...
[1:17:45] ---
...in other words, as compensation,
you lost "humanity."
[1:17:50] Yotsugi
Unless you learn something from that,
you will always put the bill on a tab...
[1:17:55] ---
...but in the end
you will lose everything.
[1:17:58] Koyomi
Though, there's something about you
saying that while showing your underwear.
[1:18:02] Yotsugi
I think it's 100% your fault, Big Demo-ther,
that I'm showing my underwear.
[1:18:07] Koyomi
It's not good to blame others.
SIGN TOPIC IS WHO ELSE CAN I BLAME FOR THIS SITUATION OUTSIDE OF YOU, BIG DEMO-THER.
[1:18:10] Yotsugi
Well, it'd be boring if you
completely matured into an adult.
[1:18:13] Yotsugi
Big Demo-ther, if that's the case, there
is an alternate plan that I can suggest.
[1:18:17] Koyomi
Alternate plan?
[1:18:18] Yotsugi
After we get close without him noticing,
I suddenly slam Unlimited Rulebook into Tadatsuru.
[1:18:25] Yotsugi
A surprise attack.
[1:18:26] Yotsugi
We can then take our time to
rescue the three hostages after that.
[1:18:30] Koyomi
In that case, what happens to Tadatsuru?
Will he get by with just injuries?
[1:18:34] Yotsugi
He will die.
[1:18:35] Koyomi
Of course!
[1:18:36] Yotsugi
I can't? I mean, he's a guy
that kidnaps three girls.
[1:18:40] Yotsugi
I feel it's only just compensation
to be blown to smithereens.
[1:18:44] Koyomi
No... That's no good in any way.
No good, and impossible.
[1:18:48] ---
You'd end up murdering someone. If you do
that, you really will stop being human.
SIGN STOP BEING HUMAN
[1:18:55] Yotsugi
Humans are humans,
even if they kill humans.
[1:18:58] Yotsugi
Well, I can't say I hate peaceful values
like that, and that's something necessary.
[1:19:03] Yotsugi
It was good that I heard that.
[1:19:05] Yotsugi
I said it was good
that I heard that.
[1:19:08] Yotsugi
Now, Big Demo-ther.
Can you let go of my skirt already?
[1:19:13] Yotsugi
The bottom half of my body is feeling rather
cold now, so I'm afraid I'll catch a cold.
[1:19:17] Koyomi
You'll catch a cold? You, Ononoki-chan,
the tsukumo-gami and shikigami?
[1:19:21] Yotsugi
I wouldn't, but I feel like I'm going to.
[1:19:24] Yotsugi
If we're talking about pulling or not, I'm really
mentally pulling away from you, Big Demo-ther...
[1:19:30] ---
...for flipping my
skirt this whole time.
[1:19:32] Koyomi
I see.
[1:19:34] Koyomi
In hindsight, I probably should not
have let go of her at this point in time.
[1:19:39] Koyomi
What actions Ononoki-chan will
go through from hereon.
[1:19:43] Koyomi
I should have been able to
understand if I gave it some thought...
[1:19:47] Koyomi
But still, I followed what
Ononoki-chan said and released my grip.

[1:23:15] Tadatsuru
Yeah, but the curse is just

you had no choice but to kidnap people dear to me?

[1:31:42] Koyomi
A story where I understand inside my head, but I can't
deny the instinctive disgust, and how I see her changes.
SIGN WISHY-WASHY, AND ABSTRACT
SIGN SOMEWHAT FUDGED AND USING EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK
[1:31:50] Koyomi
The objective must've
been to create a fissure...
[1:31:52] ---
...between me and Ononoki Yotsugi, as we
grew to have a reasonable amount of friendship.
[1:31:57] Koyomi
The objective of that Darkness.
[1:31:59] Koyomi
Following Hachikuji Mayoi and Sengoku Nadeko,
it pulled Ononoki Yotsugi away from me.
[1:32:06] Koyomi
Tadatsuru did not fight
sacrificing himself to that.
[1:32:09] ---
He more so just followed
that plan somewhat recklessly.
[1:32:12] Koyomi
That's what it all meant.
[1:32:19] Hitagi
Here, this is your
chocolate for Valentine's Day.
[1:32:23] Hitagi
How is it? Tasty? Tasty?
Koyokoyo, is it tasty?
[1:32:28] Koyomi
That's right.
Today was Valentine's Day.
[1:32:35] Koyomi
Yeah, it's tasty.
[1:32:40] Hitagi
Yeah!
[1:32:43] Hitagi
Come in, come in, Koyokoyo.
I still have a lot more chocolate.
[1:32:46] Koyomi
There's a lot more?
[1:32:50] Koyomi
Actually, Senjyogahara...
[1:32:53] Hitagi
I see.
[1:32:55] Hitagi
If you can't see yourself in the mirror ever again, how is that troubling?
[1:32:59] Koyomi
How, you ask... Well, I guess I'd be
in the spotlight when people notice it?
[1:33:04] Hitagi
If that's it, then well, it's fine.
[1:33:06] Hitagi
Even if a mirror doesn't show you, Araragi-kun,
you will continue to be seen by my eyes.
[1:33:13] Hitagi
Well, that said, you still have to think about
what you're going to do from now on.
[1:33:17] Hitagi
You've consulted
Hanekawa-san about this, right?
[1:33:20] Koyomi
Of course I wouldn't
ask her before asking you.
[1:33:23] Koyomi
Or rather, I don't
know what to tell her...
[1:33:26] Koyomi
Even if it's just not being able to see myself in the
mirror, I have no guarantee this will last forever.
SIGN EVEN IF I DON'T LET SHINOBU SUCK MY BLOOD
SIGN SOME CATALYST MIGHT BREAK THE BALANCE
[1:33:33] Hitagi
You don't think a specialist's analysis is reliable?
Then why don't you make use of a second opinion?
[1:33:38] Koyomi
No, what isn't reliable
is how I live my life.
SIGN WORLD HISTORY REVISED JAPANESE
[1:33:43] Koyomi
My everyday life, the life I can
live doing what I've always done...
[1:33:47] ---
I don't know how long that is going to last.
That's the one thing I can say for sure.
[1:33:52] Hitagi
The life you can live doing
what you've always done, huh...
[1:33:57] Hitagi
You know, Araragi-kun. Kaiki...
[1:34:00] Hitagi
Kaiki was a guy that said
stuff like that to show off.
[1:34:04] Hitagi
A peaceful every day life, or how relationships will continue
forever... Those were things he never thought about.
[1:34:10] Hitagi
I guess you could say he hated
his life to show signs of living.
[1:34:14] Hitagi
Well, I did make the mistake of
thinking such a stance was fashionable...
[1:34:19] Hitagi
But, if such a thing was really fashionable, then
I think you're fine being unfashionable, Araragi.
[1:34:25] Hitagi
Wouldn't Hanekawa-san
say the same thing now?
[1:34:28] Hitagi
That girl doesn't say "you should
be proper" as much as before, right?
[1:34:33] Koyomi
Come to think of it... I wonder
what Hanekawa is doing today?
[1:34:38] Hitagi
Who knows?
[1:34:40] Hitagi
She's probably still
looking for Oshino-san.
[1:34:44] Hitagi
It seems like there are a few
circumstances that only she is aware of.
[1:34:48] Koyomi
Look for Oshino...
Tadatsuru was saying that too.
[1:34:51] Koyomi
Maybe that end is something
I also need to properly...
[1:34:56] Koyomi
...talk to Hanekawa about.
[1:34:58] Koyomi
So I was thinking about seeing her and
talking to her on the way home today.
[1:35:02] Hitagi
I see. Then, I have one
request for you, Araragi-kun.
[1:35:06] Hitagi
Please do that tomorrow.
[1:35:10] Koyomi
Hey, Karen-chan, Tsukihi-chan!
[1:35:23] Koyomi
What are you doing?
[1:35:25] Yotsugi
I was sitting inside the UFO catcher,
and your little sisters got me.
SIGN COMPARED TO YOU, DEVILISH BIG BROTHER, TSUKIHI-SAN HAS QUITE A BIT MORE SKILL.
SIGN SHE GOT ME WITH JUST THREE COINS.
[1:35:31] Koyomi
No, that's not it...
[1:35:33] Yotsugi
The objective of this incident was
to put a fissure in our relationship.
[1:35:38] Yotsugi
Gaen-san and Big Sister concluded that if
that's the case, we need to go against that...
[1:35:44] Yotsugi
Until this town stabilizes,
they told me to be at your side.
[1:35:47] Yotsugi
Rather, get even closer,
and more intimate.
[1:35:51] Yotsugi
So I'll be under
your care for a while.
[1:35:54] Koyomi
Wait...
[1:35:55] Koyomi
Hold on, damn you!
You've got to be kidding!
[1:35:57] Tsukihi
What are you doing, Big Brother? Stop talking to
the doll that I won with my skill and my money.
[1:36:05] Karen
That's right, Big Brother.
[1:36:06] Karen
Sheesh, you're really a kid that
can't ever grow up to be an adult.
[1:36:10] Tsukihi
Yeah, really!
[1:36:14] Shinobu
Serves you right.
[1:36:15] Koyomi
And so, what is this? It seems like the rowdy
days will seem to continue for just a bit longer.
