Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) SIGN    TSUKIMONOGATARI SIGN    SECTOR FROM HERE [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. SIGN    YOTSUGI DOLL PART ONE, EPISODE TAI (BODY) SIGN    FROM HERE TSUKIMONOGATARI SIGN    ONE [07:00] Karen     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. [07:13] ---     REFERENCE BOOK SIGN    PARTS OF PASSAGE OMITTED [07:26] Koyomi     That this hatred may be linked     to that against alarm clocks... SIGN    PARTS OF PASSAGE OMITTED [07:32] Koyomi     Alarm clock... Alarm clock... [07:34] Koyomi     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. [12:38] Koyomi     As do I. SIGN    FROM HERE TSUKIMONOGATARI [12:45] Koyomi     I'll make it really hot,     just how she likes it. [12:51] Koyomi     Now I want to take a bath too. [13:04] Tsukihi     Big Brother! SIGN    APPEARANCE [13:05] Tsukihi     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! [13:14] Tsukihi     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    ONE FROM HERE SIGN    TSUKIMONOGATARI [14:13] Koyomi     Why... SIGN    WHY IS THIS? SIGN    HOW DID IT END UP LIKE THIS? SIGN    "Eh? You don't want to go? Then, Big Brother, Do you lust after (yokujou) your little sister's nudes? Impossible! Impossible, because we'll be in the bathing area (yokujou)!" 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! [16:22] Tsukihi     I'm going to wash your     hair like this, Big Brother! [16:26] Koyomi     W- SIGN    THIS "W-" WAS SHORT FOR "WHAT?" TO USE AS AN EXPRESSION OF SURPRISE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS SHORT FOR "WOW, I SEE" AS WELL. [16:28] Tsukihi     Suds, suds! [16:30] Tsukihi     Fine, I'll stand it up. [16:33] Tsukihi     Amazing! You're Astro Big Brother!     You're Super Big Brother! [16:36] Koyomi     Don't phrase it like I'm a     Super Saiyan or something. [16:40] Tsukihi     I'll rinse it off now. [16:44] Tsukihi     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...

[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.

[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...

It's split open, right? [24:34] Shinobu     Yeah. You said your     little sister crushed it.

[25:07] ---     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? [26:15] Koyomi     Hmm? Other one? [26:16] Shinobu     Well, it's for certain that there is some change     going on in your physical body right now.

[27:13] Koyomi     I don't know how to get     in contact with those two at all. [27:17] Shinobu     What? [27:19] Shinobu     Well, that puts us in a bind. [27:22] Shinobu     Even if we can't call them, don't you have     some way of getting in touch with them? [27:27] Koyomi     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. [27:46] Shinobu     Don't you add that     "-chan" honorific on me. [27:48] Shinobu     Don't look so pathetic.     That was just a joke. [27:52] Shinobu     But, if that's the case,     there is only one candidate left. [27:56] Koyomi     Candidate? There was someone else?     Oh I see, it's Hanekawa, isn't it? [27:59] Shinobu     That girl has sharp wits,     but she is not a specialist... [28:04] ---     I didn't mean her. I meant Gaen. [28:06] Koyomi     Gaen...

[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...

[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. SIGN    TSUKIMONOGATARI SIGN    TWO SIGN    FROM HERE [42:18] Yotsugi     To make it extremely easy to understand,     and direct to boot, Big Demo-ther... [42:23] Yotsugi     You didn't turn into a vampire too many times,     but got too accustomed to turning into one. [42:28] Yotsugi     You got accustomed to     the fact that you could. [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... [43:10] Koyomi     Because Sengoku     turning out like that... [43:12] ---     The responsibility for letting that     happen to Sengoku lied with me. [43:16] Koyomi     At the very least,     I felt responsible... That is why. [43:20] Koyomi     I have a general idea of the current circumstances.     I can't say that I have a firm grasp of it all though... [43:26] Koyomi     And so, what do     I need to do, Ononoki-chan? [43:29] Yotsugi     What do you mean,     what do you need to do? [43:32] Koyomi     How can I turn back into a human? [43:36] Yotsugi     Devilish Big Brother... SIGN    ONONOKI-CHAN SAID.

[44:17] Koyomi     No, well... [44:20] Koyomi     I was pretty reckless for     about the past six months. [44:24] Koyomi     I turned into a vampire as if it was a matter of     course, as if I was drinking an energy drink... [44:29] Koyomi     ...and I relied on the power of immortality to fight     against apparitions. And atonement for that... SIGN    ATONEMENT? [44:35] Koyomi     I should have to pay     compensation for what I have done. SIGN    RIGHT, IT'S COMPENSATION. [44:38] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Compensation, huh? [44:40] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Well, you wished it on yourself to wield that     power, so I guess it couldn't have been helped... [44:45] Yoduru [Yozuru]     I guess you have no choice but to be satisfied     with that answer. But well, that being said... [44:50] Yoduru [Yozuru]     ...it's not like you have lost     everything about being human yet. [44:55] Koyomi     By that, you mean? [44:57] Yoduru [Yozuru]     There is no way to     rewind, or to fix it. [45:01] Yoduru [Yozuru]     However, there is a way to stop your metamorphosis     into a vampire from progressing any further. [45:09] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Well, you know... In a way...     There is a method to keep the status quo. [45:15] Koyomi     And what is that method, Ononoki-chan? [45:18] Yotsugi     That is to no longer rely     on your powers as a vampire.

[45:41] Yotsugi     However. [45:42] Yotsugi     You have to consider     the pace at which you do so. [45:46] Yotsugi     And you should avoid explicitly     turning into a vampire, of course. [45:50] Yotsugi     No matter what the condition. [45:52] Koyomi     I can't rely on my powers     as a vampire anymore. [45:58] Koyomi     For instance... If while I'm human, there     was something I absolutely had to do... [46:04] Koyomi     ...that I could only do while being a vampire, would     I be able to abstain from relying on those powers? [46:14] Yoduru [Yozuru]     It's better for you to not say anything past     that, and to not think any further either.

That's how I was made. [47:58] Koyomi     Ononoki-chan... [48:00] Yotsugi     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     a corpse. Being immortal isn't as good as it seems. [48:10] Yotsugi     Or rather, even if you think about it,     putting us aside, that's how it should be. [48:15] Yotsugi     The level you are at now is the limit for     you, Big Demo-ther, to be a human... [48:19] Yotsugi     ...to pretend being human... [48:21] Yotsugi     ...and for continuing to live, isn't it? [48:29] Koyomi     I understand, Ononoki-chan...     And Kagenui-san... [48:33] Koyomi     All right. I swear.

[48:44] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Yeah, that's right.     Just like you said. [48:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]     You'd help me out a lot     if you could do that. [48:49] Yoduru [Yozuru]     For our work, for your life, and for the     life of previously Heart-under-blade. [48:55] Yotsugi     That's a pretty shallow oath. [48:58] Koyomi     If you say it's shallow, it perhaps is. [49:01] Koyomi     I myself don't have absolute confidence in whether or     not I can uphold this oath when push comes to shove. [49:09] Koyomi     Because, in the end, no matter     how many oaths I make... [49:12] ---     If, right in front of my eyes, Senjyogahara     or Hanekawa were about to die... [49:17] Koyomi     ...or be in a condition that     corresponds to such a situation...

[50:10] Shinobu     Of course, the fact that you and I are here     together in itself is an opportunistic miracle.

[52:28] ---     This is something I wanted to ask     back during summer break too... [52:31] Koyomi     Why do you want to kill immortal     apparitions so much, Kagenui-san? [52:36] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Yes? [52:37] Yoduru [Yozuru]     What was that, mister? [52:39] Koyomi     Well, I mean...

[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. [53:30] ---     So there's at least one... [53:33] Yoduru [Yozuru]     But that guy is like a total hermit, so you     don't have to worry about him, Araragi-kun. [53:39] Yoduru [Yozuru]     He strayed away from Gaen-senpai's     group, so he's truly astray. [53:45] Yoduru [Yozuru]     What, Araragi-kun? [53:47] Yoduru [Yozuru]     You want to hear a side story-esque episode     where you see how I got myself down this path? [53:54] Koyomi     To be honest, it's on my mind     enough that I think it's on my mind. [53:59] Yoduru [Yozuru]     Well, instead of worrying about     my reasons, if anything...

[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.

[58:23] 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.

[58:45] 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...

[59:51] 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.

[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.

[1:13:17] Yotsugi     An artificial tsukumo-gami using the corpse     of a human that lived a hundred years. [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. [1:13:33] Koyomi     I see... But to summarize, in the end... [1:13:36] ---     ...Kagenui-san and Tadatsuru     fought for you, and Kagenui-san got...

[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...

[1:14:25] 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...

[1:15:21] 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. SIGN    FOUR TSUKIMONOGATARI SIGN    FROM HERE [1:20:00] Koyomi     That's Tadatsuru?

[1:20:20] Koyomi     Like we're out of time if the     offertory box gets filled up? [1:20:23] Yotsugi     How'd you figure that out?     You're pretty sharp, Devilish Big Brother. [1:20:27] Yotsugi     Right, that's one of the     laws of sines, the origami clock. SIGN    THE LAW OF SINES... [1:20:32] ---     THE LAW OF SINES...     IT MEANS THINGS LIKE THAT IN THIS WORLD?

[1:20:38] Koyomi     But we're probably better off to think     that we'll be out of time at any moment. [1:20:45] Yotsugi     It's probably best if we hurried up. [1:20:47] Yotsugi     The fact you're not going to utilize     any of the plans I suggested means... [1:20:50] ---     ...that you're going to go with     that simple decoy plan, right? [1:20:53] Koyomi     I plan to. [1:20:56] Yotsugi     Then from here, I'll swing around     to the back side of the shrine. [1:21:00] Yotsugi     Then, I'll look for the three girls,     who are probably inside the building... [1:21:04] Yotsugi     ...hoist them up, and book it out of here with     Unlimited Rulebook. That's what you wanted, right? [1:21:10] Koyomi     Yeah, that's right. [1:21:13] Yotsugi     Then, time to set the plan     in motion, Big Demo-ther.

[1:23:15] Tadatsuru     Yeah, but the curse is just     a strong way of saying paranoia. [1:23:20] Tadatsuru     According to the one that casted it     on us, it is merely making ends meet.

[1:26:25] Koyomi     What do you mean I have no choice? Are you saying     you had no choice but to kidnap people dear to me? [1:26:31] Tadatsuru     Even that anger. Aren't you getting     angry because you're supposed to? [1:26:34] Tadatsuru     Isn't that merely     anger to fit your role?

[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. SIGN    TSUKIMONOGATARI SIGN    YOTSUGI DOLL SIGN    THE END GOOD NIGHT
