| Back to Araragi's house it is. She said the thing lol. Se noo~ I lowkey forgot how much of a menace Otori Sengoku was. I mean, from the minute our Sengoku opened that door she was ready to kill lol. Who cares about that when after so, so, so , SO long we hear the voice of the woman, the myth, the legend herself, SENJOUGAHARA. It was like two words, but hey, I'll take it lol. Back to the Snake Temple though, Ononoki over here is just dismembered and she acting calm about it in normal Ononoki fashion. Thankfully, she's a doll, so putting her together is as easy and like putting together a lego. Basically the entire rest of the episode is just spent with Ononoki, where she seems to be adopting some of Gaen's mannerisms ngl, even in her speech. Though, I think the more accurate comparison would be Kagenui ngl. Direction this episode made this my favorite episode of the season so far with the first imo. Cute little Ononoki pose lols.  |
 |
| The transition to the opening with Se-no was crazy familiar lol. Liked that but I didn’t think that to lower her numbers down Sengoku would have to visit… Araragi’s place of all places lol. Though yeah, consider it as one of those steps of her to get over her past, and also, I mean her most fierce personality, the reverse Nadeko was there, so anyway she would’ve had to visit there. Playing with knives can kill you, so remember not to do xD I’m glad Sengoku could deal with her, but yeah, how hilarious was it to see her running with all her might just after exchanging a greeting on the phone lol. Senjougahara might not have made an appearance, but yeah, you know just her single greeting could scare the life out of people. Or more like it was out of embarrassment for Sengoku. That being that though, I’m not sure what Meek Nadeko is going through lol, or what is going inside her mind when she’s roaming around the town in clothes she is. Good to Yotsugi, her body parts can be glued together(!), but yeah, now they’d have to deal with the God clone. Might be one more episode, and this’ll be over. |
 |
| Some would say that the whole episode was just Nadeko picking and combining parts of Ononoki together, like other shows would fix her in an instant and they would move to the "neat" stuff in no time. But this exactly is something that i really love about the whole Monogatari series. How it uses its background to enhance the dialogue, all in synch. |
 |
| Yay, Senjou made the very briefest of appearances. Cannot wait to have a full scene with her. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| A Senjogahara appearance is always nice even if it was on the phone and really short. In anycase another one was captured now we just need the remaining two which might be a things. Anyway i wonder if we will see more Senjogahara in the near future |
| Pretty good episode again. The scenes at the Araragi household were a lot more brief than I expected given the nature of breaking in and obviously the tension of returning there to a place and room from someone she's moved on from after what transpired previously during Koimonogatari. But Nadeko once again, despite being a bit hurt emotionally with words from her creations, still managed to exorcise Wrath Nadeko and used her killing nature against her there. Wrath Nadeko did not really have much to say beyond not wanting to work for her and scathing Nadeko in general and acting to kill her, so maybe it does make sense that the actual scene there wasn't too long. The phone call pick up with Hitagi was hilarious and the visceral reaction she experienced with SHAFT's visual flair just made the whole scene even better there comedically. The conversation with Yotsugi was pretty good too and felt like classic Monogatari with utilizing the backgrounds, cuts and other visual elements to keep a conversation that might be boring or too slow in other shows like a 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime', engaging. It wasn't necessarily the episode I enjoyed or loved the most from this season but the direction and adaptation was really solid alongside the content explored to set up a potential key clash between God/Meek Nadekos and the current one/Yotsugi team. I thought Nadeko's voice actress, Kana Hanazawa, did really well once again in her voice role, too. Overall, not the most memorable nor entertaining episode I've seen this particular season (still feel like the first two were the strongest to me) but this episode still was a good setup episode as a whole and I'm excited to see where the arc goes with that potential tag team confrontation (if it is going that way). Nadeko learning and experiencing harsh truths about herself through the journey has been good too and with the next episode or two, would love to see her character arc continue to develop further and further. I would not mind seeing or hearing more Senjougahara whatsoever in due time eventually in this particular season beyond just her few seconds of appearance here. |
| Two Nadekos captured, and two remain... It was nice to see the angry Nadeko again from Otorimonogatari make her return again, since I especially enjoyed her voice performance the first time I heard it, and it sounded just as good here. She was poised to kill off the main Nadeko, but she was able to make a good plan to capture her, and it worked out. Finally, we got to see Hitagi again, albeit briefly, but it's still nice to see one my favourite characters of the series on screen again. Seeing the shrine again brought up some nice memories of the series, and for Nadeko, it was certainly an important place for her growth as a character. Frankly, I'm surprised that Yotsugi was dismembered in such a brutal way, but that's a testament to how strong God Nadeko can be. I'm definitely excited to see the climax of this arc soon, as it has been a joy to watch so far. |
| 2 down, 2 more to go. Paper continues to be Nadeko's weapon and shield of choice. The phone part was hilarious with how it was handled. Nadeko was worried they might notice she was there, no longer an issue Building Ononoki felt like a classic monogatari scene, even having a twist that a hand was missing. |
| That escape scene with the edited live-action footage went unreasonably hard. Nadeko has become very brave, but there are limits to what she can deal with right now and it seems Hitagi is one such limit. Nademonogatari Part 3: Yotsugi Reassemble. I really liked the cinematography on that part. Particularly the shot of Nadeko sitting behind Ononoki's body, making it look like she's wearing her skirt, stockings and shoes. They're clearly setting up a pattern with the shikigami's last words. I also have a feeling that Kami-Nadeko is steering Nadeko towards her character development. She probably used Oto-Nadeko to lure her to Araragi's and have her confront Saka-Nadeko there. No Ougi this episode, except for a short glimpse :/ Ononoki's presence makes up for it though. I still love their dynamic. Nadeko thinking she's getting wooed was hilarious. "It's a hand, not an eye." Well that's much less helpful than I hoped. But hey, Ononoki's competent, maybe we'll see something creative with this advantage. |
Very "Monogatari" in this moment 🤣 It's weird but it works! So bizarre but logical! |

| Se-no~ It basically became a catchphrase of Sengoku at this point. It was such an awesome transition to the OP btw. "Oh, you thought it was Meek Nadeko? But it was me, Wrath Nadeko!" That shit was crazy. I really like KanaHana's crazy voice too. She did such an excellent job portraying both sides of Ran in the Urusei Yatsura Remake. It was her performance as Wrath Nadeko in 2nd Season that made me confident that she was the perfect casting choice for Ran. And she killed it with that role as always. After all this time, we finally got to hear Senjougahara again. Damn. But it was for a very brief moment. I hope we'll get to see a proper appearance soon. Ononoki's body parts feel like the first example of censorship in this season of Monogatari. I wonder if the Blu-ray will change this with actual flesh and blood instead of weird white lights for her sliced up body parts. Meek Nadeko potentially turning into another god Nadeko definitely sounds troubling. Wonder how they're gonna deal with the last 2. |

| @0451 When you cut up a doll, is there blood ? I think it was artistic choice rather than censorship, quite a good one too, i would say. |
|
| Another fantastic episode. The speed she took off in when she heard Senjougahara's voice XD. Wonder why she called and what she might do now that she heard Nadeko answer the phone. Was expecting to see Meek Nadeko at the house but surprised that Wrath Nadeko was there. Maybe some regret that she couldn't get Araragi to herself maybe? Was a afraid that God Nadeko was going after Hachikuji but maybe she'll be fine. The way Ononoki was talking about her outnumbering made me think that Current Nadeko is going to use those shikigami like they are Pokemon or something. |

| She didn't have to rip the phone off the wall, goodness. |
Imagine if this would come out two weeks prior. |
 |
| Is the arc over? I'm waiting for Nademonogatari to finish for me to start this new Monogatari season. |
| I was ready for Renai Circulation to start after Nadeko’s “se-no” at the very start lol, but this new OP is a jam so I love hearing it as well. And I was surprised to see Nadeko’s edgy phase be the one at Araragi’s house and not the Meek one, and every time I see her now I can’t help but laugh because of an edit I saw of her classroom tantrum scene talking about needing to piss lol. And this Nadeko wasn’t about to let the true Nadeko simply put her back in the paper, we had a bit of fight there but Nadeko’s quick thinking by putting the book where Wrath Nadeko stabbed was pretty genius, and once again this Nadeko had some interesting things to say that don’t really fit this particular version of her, but that’s another Nadeko down and two to go so I’ll call that a win. What wasn’t a win tho, was Nadeko’s reaction to answering the phone only to hear Senjougahara’s voice, the first we’ve heard from her this season, and Nadeko absolutely booked it lol, loved the live action there. And later upon seeking out God Nadeko, what was found was Ononoki in pieces, this was actually kinda disturbing but I quickly started to find it comedic because of Nadeko’s overreactions to the talking Ononoki head, as well as Nadeko posing with the body parts as we got a typical Monogatari dialogue rundown, you’d almost think it was normal lol. But now the plan is to team up with the rebuilt Ononoki to take on the assumed team up and God and Meek Nadeko, definitely looking forward to how this confrontation goes. Also love Nadeko’s new outfit, she brought the classic hat back and it really completes her current look, she’s like an evolved form of the original version of herself. Also loving all the Nadeko fanservice this arc is providing, the swimsuit catwalk bit as well as the running bit were especially nice. |
| Nadeko has been very entertaining with how she's going around, do her best to capture the runaway Nadeko's. Dealing with the Wrath version was tricky, but placing paper inside of her jumper proved to be genius thinking as it helped her capture Wrath Nadeko. It did damage her clothes, so she "borrowed" some from Tsukihi's room, where the new outfit she chose looked great on her. Seeing her run away at full speed after hearing Hitagi from the Araragi landline was pretty funny. A shame that Hitagi only got a tiny fraction of screentime, but I guess it couldn't be helped. Yotsugi certainly suffered a heavy defeat considering how many parts of her were lying around the grounds of the shrine, but Nadeko was kind enough to find and put back together all of the pieces, minus Yotsugi's right hand, as that's still attached to God Nadeko. For now, she'll have to make do with a hand made out of mud. Better that than nothing, huh? It does feel like the end of this arc is close, so I do hope that Nadeko and Yotsugi can find a way to take down both God Nadeko and Meek Nadeko before they cause anymore chaos. |
| Se... no hahahaha Two already down, two more to go... NadeNoki is a killer duo. Also that Hitagi appearance for five seconds o.O  |
 |
| ahhh the shaft style in this ep really hit me. Miss it so much Anyway, the phone scene is so funny ROFL, looking forward to the next ep  |
my glorious queen senjougahara ahhhhh pls give us more of her and my life will be yours! also i said it last week but damn this opening slaps. that se-no almost got me singing along the classic lmao. |
 |
| That transition at the start with the se-no was so tuff had me out of my seat. Im suprised Nadeko went into Araragi's house tho, its quite funny tho she talks about trespassing but then takes Tsukihi clothes lmfaooo. Also that call with Senjo was awkward I had to pause for a second but now looking back on it, it might be cool to see them talk to eachother but that will probably never happen. Also Ougi what is you doing man.... I fw bro even more now cus that was funny. 10/10 episode I hope the next one isn't the last one cus this is so fun to see a update on Nadeko. |
 |
| Wrath Nadeko putting up a fight felt about right, but breaking into Araragi's house and camping his room was pretty crazy, props to current Nadeko winning a 1v1 against her second most Yandere version. I am also once again reminded that Hanazawa Kana has amazing voice acting range, she really had Wrath Nadeko spitting out her words like fire. The Senjougahara call was a great, shit had me clapping my hands fr fr after hearing her again and you KNOW she's gonna German suplex into headlock Araragi to interrogate him next time they meet. Nadeko's absolutely flubbering the QTE and exposing herself was peak, I could feel the second hand embarrassment and it was BAD. Genuinely think the fight or flight adrenaline kicked in harder at that moment for her then Wrath Nadeko attempting to spoon her innards out. I honestly didn't expect that Meek and Snake God team up, but thinking about it now it makes sense. The explanation about Snake God's influence as a shikigami that could leak into Meek and create a second Snake God is wild, even if current Snake God isn't as strong as the first time, I mean unless they can make two copies of Kaiki, God knows how many specialists they'll need for two Gods. Yeah I didn't expect Snake God to go down in a simple fight, she really fucked up Ononoki Good God. Was cool as well knowing more about how Ononoki works as a doll apparition, I could also get use to the new Ononoki look as well, she kinda kills with the short hair. The ending was also good, the symbolism of a current Nadeko not having to fight alone and work besides previous versions of herself to help take down the worse version of herself felt pretty poetic. |
 "yabe." |
| another peak EPS. the growth of nadeko is vividly visible at every EPS. She is becoming one of the most well developed characters in anime. |
| Senjougahara mentioned |
| If Wrath-Nadeko had been there, I am sure she would not have missed. |
 |
Literally every first time viewer after few seasons of Monogatari: |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
No one is going to talk about that Sangatsu no Lion-styled Nadeko Sengoku? That was beautiful! :')  It's even more striking if you consider that Kana Hanazawa took part as one of the main characters there (Hinata Kawamoto) |
 |
| this is seriously shaping up to be one of my favorite monogatari arcs ever nadeko's character arc in this is just so beautiful and hopeful really excited to see how this arc ends oh and the ononoki and nadeko combo just keeps delivering, it's so entertaining |
"Leonardo... it wasn't, by any means, only your eyes that we welcomed into Libra." - Klaus von Reinherz |
| A very short part with Senjougahara, seems like all we're getting this season are the lolis :< |
| Two shikigami ended working together!!! School swimsuit?! kekeke |
| Ah so the two other Nadeko are together... |
| This was a fun episode, the Wrath Nadeko didn't hesitate to kill Now Nadeko. Even familiars can ascend from familiarhood to godhood? That's sick! I hope Hachikuji-sama is safe. Two Kami Nadeko looks so divine though. |
 |
| My cutie Ononoki is back, it's a real pleasure. |
| Sengoku Nadeko back with her signature cap. Things got out of hand with the snake nadeko but they can manage. Was great to hear Senjougahara. Peace Peace! |
 |
| Two Sengoku left... and Ononoki has been cut in pieces by snake Nadeko but at least she placed her hand on her and they can track her now... protect Mayoi!! |
