| Run, Koyomi, run! Well, looks like the first minion has a new body, should be interesting to see what happens next. That dude on the cover of the BL novel looks a lot like Kaiki, just saying... |

| That was a fantastic episode, it's really amazing how everything just ties together. We finally found out the reason why Gaen wanted to make Shinobu a God. And I can't believe that all this time, the first aberration killer has been the specialists goal the entire time, that's fucking wild. That second half was hilarious though lmao, Shinobu and Kanbaru interacting was something I never knew I needed so badly. Is that fucking Kaiki in that BL cover lmao, and Gaen was in one of those sexy magazines. The employees laughing at Araragi for sandwiching the BL book in sexy magazines was hilarious. Damn, the first aberration killer has gotten a form, is that how he really looked like, or maybe like Shinobu that's just like a younger version of himself since he's still recovering power. Pretty interesting though that Gaen said, Kagenui will never see a day where she can use her full strength. So, is Gaen like the one that cursed Kagenui to never be able to walk on the ground? That's interesting. |

| Did I really see Kaiki and Episode on that BL cover ? There was also Gaen on the magazines Araragi bought, but the most important is that there was freaking Kaiki and freaking Episode on a BL cover. I don't know if I want to laugh or erase my memories before my imagination tries anything. Other than that, now it's confirmed that Kagenui has some sort of ability to resurrect people, maybe that's how Kaiki survived getting killed ? Also, I had doubts because I didn't remember very well what happened but it is also confirmed that it is the Darkness that destroyed Araragi's and Shinobu's connection. It's surprising how casual they both are with that, especially Shinobu. Wasn't her connection to Araragi essential since she needed his energy to survive ? How come she can still move around then ? If I remember correctly, it was even stated that she was losing strength while she was kept away from him (but everyone kinda forgot about this problem as soon as it turned out the Darkness was after Hachikuji instead of Shinobu). What's interesting though, is that at first I wondered why the Darkness separated them, but when I think about it it makes sense. In Kizumonogatari, Oshino described Araragi as "a vampire trying to behave like a human" and Shinobu as "a human trying to behave like a vampire". Considering what is the Darkness' purpose, it makes sense that it would separate them since it is said connection that made them that way. It still doesn't explain Shinobu's current state though. Also, I don't really understand what happened in Tsukimonogatari then with him getting his powers back. But actually, I realize I'm pretty lost when it comes to this plot point about Araragi's condition as a vampire, there's a lot I have forgotten, so I should rewatch some scenes instead of complaining. Other than that, that's once again a lot of important informations we got. So the warrior's ashes brought the necessary amount of energy for the temple to "feed" oddities again, which explains why the oddities began to appear only 15 years ago (which has me wonder, are there oddities others than the ones we know, in different places ?). And the warrior is starting to regenerate which is why he looks the way he does at the end of the episode, it's just like what happened to Shinobu. But what's pretty ironic is that he seemed insanely powerful when he was still a shadow of himself, while now he is like a kid. If we take Shinobu for exemple, then there is no doubt that while he most likely still has some powers like the Energy Drain, he must be considerably weak. Even with the Energy Drain, it would surprise me if he easily gets back the strength he gathered back in episode 7. As I said, that's ironic. Also, that's probably just me but he didn't really leave a good impression on me at the end of this episode, he seems too much to be the typical rival character, I hope I'm wrong because with such a story, he has the potential to be interesting. A last thing I wanted to mention is that now I more or less understand why they brought up this oddity cluster thing last episode, because the whole story is about how oddities came to gather in this city. However that doesn't explain what it really is nor what it is doing here. Apparently it isn't an actual oddity but a "nuisance", but in this context I fail to understand what it is supposed to mean. (Also, I mentionned in the last thread that the cluster thing must be related to the Darkness due to having the same kind of inscriptions written on it, but I just realized it's just what non-humanoid oddities look like.) Well, now that there's only two episodes left I think I can safely say that this arc is, in my opinion, definitely inferior to the fantastic Sodachi arc which is disappointing but it's still pretty interesting, especially thanks to all the informations we get regarding oddities who still remain a mystery. But what's the most disappointing is that once again, I feel like Shinobu is completely relegated to a secondary role in her own arc, even if the story technically revolves around her. It's a real shame because due to that I lost the majority of the interest I initially had in her, and I hoped for this arc to correct that but unless they provide us absolutely amazing last two episodes, it looks like that won't be the case. |

| Araragi's laugh was hilarious XD. I noticed that he laughed just like Kiss-shot did in Ougi dark when she lifted him and swung him around. So Kiss-shot's 1st minion didn't actually die. For the past 400 years he had been burning and regenerating and now like Izuko said he travelled to this town in the form of ash. Pretty obvious that the boy in the last scene (who looks like a male edgy version of Shinobu) is him. Episode and Kaiki on a BL cover is so randomXD  |

AH so it was here in the 10th episode of Owarimonogatari where the Shawshank Redemption reference was all this time; finally I've found it. Heck yeah So we go from finishing off the info dump from the last episode to going shopping for BL light novels. Nice |

| That reminds me of a Higher Vampire's true immortality from the Witcher. Man, I wish I could be immortal like that as well. It must be nice to be so difficult to kill. |
| I don't like how she blame Araragi and Shinobu. |
| Shinobu and Kanbaru moments were so cute ongfrfr |
