Kaiki turned into a freaking film-noir detective. His reaction when he learned about Koyomi's fetishes was priceless.

Do snake-girl's parents really want to find her? I can't believe they haven't even opened up her closet to see if there are any clues. Something tells me that they're secretly happy that she's gone.

Now I REALLY want to know what's in that closet!


I think that Kaiki implied that they were scared to death of her, or that she had some weird power over them. Kaiki made a comment on how they were more concerned with doing what she told them to do than in finding her. There are several ways to interpret this, from the horrific type of parents who want to be friends rather than parents to their knowing that Nadeko was safe but they wouldn't be if that closet was opened.

Someone mentioned that the closet had been referenced in Nisemonogatari, I don't recall that scene, but it ties in with Nadeko's confession 4 episodes or so ago that she lied about being a victim and pretty much knew what she was doing with the whole snake god thing the entire time. My guess is that the thing in the closet ties into how she knew everything, and probably why there are so many oddities in the area.

I believe in the second episode of Nisemonogatari, when Koyomi visited Sengoku's room she told him to never go into that closet and won't forgive anyone who does, not even Koyomi.

The scene is super short but I remember it as well. It is in episode 2 when he goes into Sengoku's room the first time. It's like 5 or so minutes in, the first thing he notices is the closet and she says that before he can even finish his sentence asking about it.

It is stupid of me but only by watching this episode with the latest episode of Gingitsune did I realize that Kaiki and Gin (of Gingitsune) share the same seiyuu!

Nadeko is absolutely of her age (naive and think in odd way) but because of her new status she is also scary. She even had the power to rebuild the whole shrine!

And at least we now know Hitagi never even have the money to fly back. So much for the speculation that she is not so poor after all.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

At first when I heard that this arc will be told from Kaiki's point of view I thought this is such a waste for the final arc of this season, why not Senjougahara, this guy is boring.

But then I watched episode 21 and 22 and he's now one of my favourite antagonists

Can't say that I enjoy the series less because of it, but it does sadden me that things went this way for Nadeko. I really wish she could (and hope she still might) have a happy ending. Of course, there's no way she'd ever end up with Koyomi... but still I would hate for her to have a bad ending.

I'm hoping that Kaiki can change things for the better, particularly for Nadeko. I don't see anything close to this happening, but in the last few seconds Kaiki almost seemed like a father figure to her. It's only wishful thinking though, since I can't see Kaiki as a parent.

So he goes to see Nadeko whose back to her cute habit ( even thought she have gorgon hair she look great). The OST also greatly fir Kaiki's shady persona. This Arc is already epic.

Hmm, for a few frames there Kaiki actually looked sharp with those sunglasses rather than ridiculous when Hitagi first saw him with the Hawaiian shirt on. Furthermore, I'm actually surprised he threw money into the donation box... a 10k yen note too... maybe it's fake...

Had a good laugh when even Kaiki questioned Koyomi's motives seeing a half-naked girl (of course we know what really happened in Bake) and wondered if he were some sort of sex offender.

Lol at two other people having referred to Shinobu as Koyomi's loli-slave now. Now here we have Nadeko and Kaiki talking to each other. Skilled story weaving that results into character mixing and matching like this. Superb. Never a boring moment for me even when dialogue is basically all that happens in many episodes.

Suruga ends up becoming a critical piece of the puzzle here for both Deishu and Koyomi... I just hope this season doesn't end without explaining why and how that came to be.

I've never liked Nadeko whatsoever, she's never he'd any shred of appeal for me personally but man Kaiki is a masterpiece of a character. I could care less if he's evil or just flat out greedy for cash, he steals away scenes and is so interesting to wait and see what he does next. I sounds cruel but I don't hope Nadeko gets a happy ending, all of this I see as her fault really. She just dealt with her problems in a very poor manner, but that's my opinion. Anyway, it's not as though Nadeko ruins anything for me, she's not good enough to do that, I just find her to be an annoying character that doesn't contribute a whole lot, before and after her snake god transformation. Who knows, opinions can change very quickly however, especially with these last few episodes something is bound to happen.

I'd like to know that as well, unless I missed something I hope it gets elaborated on more these next few episodes. I haven't read any of the LN's so I haven't a clue about the source material.

I don't think this would ever happen (again I haven't read any of the LN's yet so I wouldn't know) but if Oshino, Kaiki, Gaen and Kagenui had to team up--or even if Oshino/Kaiki did to help with a powerful oddity-- I would be glued to the screen.

On the other hand, Nadeko seems like she's completely insane now and just as annoying as ever. I really do hope they kill her. She does not deserve to live in a series where my ghost loli had to pass on.

Holy shit, Kaiki seiyu is a real boss. He really perfect his character, it's incredible. ''«I've never told a lie». I honestly said so'', woah, that was epic.

''You won't see him. Tonight, Araragi and me will, uhh, nevermind''. Does that mean what I think Sengouhara? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Damn, seeing Nadeko all happy was creepy and showed how much she was lonely. When he said that she care about such insignificant thing, it was sad because it was so true...

Her parent seem so off. Welcoming a total stranger and talking about their daughter like they didn't knew a damn thing about her, like Kaiki said.

I'm sure Hanekawa will be a joker card. She seem like she's the strategist, planning everything from distance.

What a superb episode. Having the thought process of Kaiki detailed while doing his inquiries (at Nadeko's house then with Nadeko) was really interressing. More than once you see him empathizing with Senjougahara and Nadeko to better understand them, which will allow him to deceive them.

I also liked how they hinted he was in love with Kanbaru's dead aunt. Having a heart just confirms the grey feeling he somehow gave since Nise.

You might want to spoiler that since I'm not sure if we're already clear on the Kanbaru household situation by this point (and if it was done in Nise I don't remember it). The hint was pretty vague.

What Good parents nadeko have!!...
Koyomi visits her every other day like the "Older brother" used to do... then ends half-dead way back home. Koyomi you're brave enough to do that kind of things.. I praise you for that.
"Yo Nadeko , long time no see ... you've really taken the "god" role aren't you!?" me if i were on kaiki's place. well shit... that shrine got newly reconstructed that is good enough to the eyes.
Nadeko .. you don't meet people personally when they do offer some money at the shrine ... (It doesn't really bothers because he is her first adherent and of course she is a "living god" also, I can say that She is happy with it .. She's smiles like nothing happen in the past...)
She Totally said it without shame ... lol!! God-like answer!!
Wtf Sengoku.. you're like a new person now!! you're not shy anymore , you're more open to you rown feelings or saying anything that appears on your mind ... but it's making me sick that you're a crazy psycho yandere emotionless killing machine now... A Love that Kills... yandere's love!!

Even promoted to God status, Nadeko still manages to stay Worst Girl. That's actually quite sad and pitiful... a bit like herself.

Kaiki, master of the almighty art of lieception. Definitely the highlight of this arc, and I actually would kill to have to a speshul OP dedicated to him.
Really tho, I greatly enjoy his cynical outlook on life and how easily he saw through Nadeko's absence of brain power.
Seeing things through the perspective of an adult, as distorted they might be (considering how much of a mythomaniac Kaiki actually is), is pretty damn refreshing.

My subs were different....Kaiki "what's that boy doing?" (not "that guy") and Nadeko: you mean "sexual favors?" (not "fanservice"). Interesting how the translation can make subtle changes. Translating it as 'fan service' makes it appear like a comedy moment. "Sexual favors/service" makes it seem more sinister and drives home Nadeko's depravity. Both work in their own way, but I wonder how it was intended--is it a comedy moment, or a more sinister moment in the source material?

Am I the only one who likes Nadeko the way she is now, compared to before? She seems more at peace with herself, even if she's a twisted goddess with murderous intent.

And Kaiki is turning out to be more interesting than I took him for during Nise, though even he admits he still can't be trusted.


That's why this is edge of your seat thriller stuff. Even myself as a viewer, i don't know who (including myself, since these series like to break the fourth wall) is fucking around with and who he isn't.

I'm liking how the Monogatari arcs are different. For example, this thriller/mystery vibe is totally different from the sci-fi stuff from the time travel arc. But both are ace.

Narrative that sees Kaiki sole and undisputed star, much better Koyomi and its perversions.

Observing Kaiki slowly work his way in really is fascinating. I used to dislike him, then I learned he was in the group with Oshino and the others in school, and came to not mind him as much knowing that he was a part of that group. And now, I don't nearly mind him as much. He has changed a bit since his more evil-doings, and seeing him work in his brilliant ways for an overall good cause is really neat.
