I wonder who's that apparition Shinobu ate, or more like what instead of who.

Where the hell is Ougi? I miss my Ougi!

Are you telling me, show, that Shinobu's first minion is alive and now is Araragi? What. Like he possessed Araragi or some sort when he was a baby or more like that first was born into a human being hence like full recovery, but he wasn't fully recovered like Gaen said, like what? I'm confused.

"15 years ago" Araragi was born that same year, maaan. First came to Araragi's town despite him being an ash then a crying kid silhouette shows up that looks like Araragi. Show, don't mess with me.

Yeah, a lot of apparitions yeah is surrounding Araragi and those apparitions are appearing in that town and Araragi is always like involved. Jeez. So many questions.

Well, Gaen explained it all, I guess... Hopefully Gaen's knowledge gets explained later, since it's a little silly how she knows "everything."

Meh, Gaen is not as good as I expected. Cause she need to ask about what happen to Araragi and the gang that night. Thought she knows everything, moreover she said it herself, smh.

The Aberration Killer has been revived yet the body has yet to be seen.

So there's something special about Araragi, the reason Shinobu chose him.

Damnit Araragi, he didn't even ask about Ougi to Gaen, moreover about Oshino's whereabouts. Had he's smarter, things wouldn't get too complicated.

Oh wow, 400 years of repeated trial and error of self-reincarnation seems really rough, now wonder that first servant is out for blood.

A aparição da Ga- (ops) Oshino Izuko foi refrescante, posso passar um episódio inteiro apenas com seus diálogos.

Então Koyomin não é especial, mas ao mesmo tempo tudo que ocorre com ele não é apenas uma coincidência? Sempre achei que a Shinobu fosse a razão da aparição das Kai'i, mas parece que até ela foi atraída por causa do Koyokoyo.

400 anos num ciclo de eterna reencarnação... me pergunto se isso era doloroso, mas por que uma armadura vazia? Quer dizer que isso não está nem perto do poder de um vampiro? Preciso assistir Kizumonogatari logo!

The appearance of Ga- (ops) Oshino Izuko was refreshing, I can spend an entire episode with just her dialogues.

So Koyomin is not special, but at the same time everything that happens to him is not just a coincidence? I always thought that Shinobu was the reason for the appearance of the Kai'i, but it seems that even she was attracted because of Koyokoyo.

400 years in a cycle of eternal reincarnation... I wonder if it was painful, but why an empty armor? You mean this is nowhere near the power of a vampire? I need to watch Kizumonogatari soon!

I always feel slightly confused for the first half of Izuko's explanations, then I start to understand it during the second half.

Also I find Izuko to be a bit annoying whenever she's explaining anything. Don't know why but it feels likes she's just looking down on everyone when she doing that.

Really great episode once again! Damn, I mean it makes sense for the first aberration killer to revive himself, I mean it took a long time but it was possible. Remember Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade from Kabukimonogatari, she tried to kill herself but she failed. So that should be possible too for his kin.

Araragi replicating the first aberration killers laugh was fucking hilarious. Ahh yes Kanbaru, never change, never change. Gaen Izuko is a scary woman, ahem I mean Oshino Izuko. I think that explains really well what happened at the end of Koyomimonogatari, Araragi is someone she can't fully predict. That cliffhanger though, I fucking thought there was more but it was suddenly over lmao.

Meme is Oshino.
Shinobu is Oshino.
Ougi is Oshino.
Izuko is Oshino.
Are there any other Oshino that I should know about ? Oh yeah, I forgot that time Kaiki wore an Hawaiian shirt.

Gaen kinda is the Ougi of this episode, isn't she ? Well that actually made me like her a lot more, until now she seemed too much to be the know-it-all who tells you she knows everything but never really proves it, but here she actually told some very interesting things. It was a lot of info-dump but she is a good storyteller so who cares. Also, props to her voice actress, I don't know if she improved this season or if I just didn't pay attention before but I found her to be pretty great. However, is it me or is Gaen actually very creepy ? Not as creepy as Ougi but she's got her good share of scary, yandere-like faces and her friendly exterior feels very off. I still don't trust her, especially since I'm almost certain she's related to Kaiki's murder (speaking of which, I forgot to say that in episode 7 but Ougi actually confirmed he met his end, yet he was very much alive in Hanamonogatari, so what you are telling me is that he didn't die when he was killed ? Weird. Very appreciated because I love him, but weird.).

I kinda expected for the warrior to be Kiss Shot's first subject, turns out I was right, and that's interesting because I didn't think we would ever get to meet him. It makes sense though, of course as a vampire he didn't actually die. That's tragic actually, and very reminiscent to Kiss Shot's own arc in Kizumonogatari.

Another interesting thing is that it's now confirmed this arc takes place after Shinobu Time which explains what happened to Hachikuji. However there's something I don't get, Araragi wondered if Shinobu knew about the Darkness, but she not only was there during the Darkness' attack in Shinobu Time, but even has been its target 400 years ago. I mean, she is even the one who explained what it is. So technically, yes, she knows about it. I think I'm gonna stick to the Bakaragi nickname.

One last thing is that I really wonder what was that weird oddity cluster thing. It seemed to be of the same nature as the Darkness, with the same weird inscriptions written all over it (but weren't the inscriptions there to symbolize the Darkness since it's not something you can actually see ?). I just don't understand what it is doing here, is it related to the warrior or is it another enemy that decided to kick in at the same moment ?

Oh and also, did I miss something about Kagenui ? Gaen said she would've been in capacity to resurrect the warrior but I don't remember this kind of power having been told to us before, I thought she was only an oddity hunter.

Just one last thing : I feel like there's a parallel to make between Araragi and the warrior's story. I need to rewatch that scene.

It was cool seeing Araragi slay that apparition. Also why did Izuko lie about being Meme's sister?

And of course the samurai is Kiss shot's 1st minion. For some reason the characters in this series love saying that mouthful of a name- Kiss-shot Acerola Orion Heart-under-Blade.

The initial oddity/monster battle in the beginning concluded with Shinobu chowing down on the remains like a box of Mister Donuts. After that the episode had a lot of back story, which I found to be helpful. Both the explanation of the samurai and Koyomi's encounters with past apparitions seem to be tying much of the story together. I haven't put all of the pieces together yet but it seems like we're moving towards some kind of conclusion.

I know we're several episodes into this arc but I still can't get over just how strange the OP is, so different from anything else in this series. Or almost any series for that matter. Hard to believe that's Meg Rock. But after recording so many songs that fit a certain structure, I can see why the artist would want to break out of the mold a bit. But dang, it's creepy! :o

I want Gaen Izuko to actually just kill me...

You know when I left the house today I was thinking "D@mn, I really hope Gaen Izuko paints my brains all over some f.ucking hallway." And here we are. I mean really, just absolutely destroy me.
I'm talkin' full on, watermelon-in-the-thighs level carnage. And I want it to scare the $hit outta me. I mean I hope I pi$$ myself.
I hope I pi$$ myself and she calls me he little "peepee pi$$pi$$ boy."

I want her to f.uck me up. I mean I want her to make me her b!tch. Her little peepee-pi$$-myself-b!tch. I want it to get embarrassing. I mean like...weirdly embarrassing. Unsanitary too.
We should be entirely different people by the end of the first eight hours.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say here? I mean, I'm a real fre@k, I'm not normal. Ma'am. Please. You have to crush me.

Fifteen years ago? So are we talking about Ougi or...?

Also holy shit. More than ten minutes explaining something that could have been summarized in just two minutes... even for Monogatari standards, this was simply too much.
