"I never lie" - Kaiki Deishuu

Nadeko-chan ;_; It hurts to see you so crazy T-T

I nearly hated Kaiki during Karen Bee, but I'm starting to warm up to him thanks to the epic dialogue and soliloquies :) I really enjoyed his chat with Nadeko

Absolutely loving this arc. The Senshougahara and Kaiki exchanges are a delight. Kaiki some much needed cynicism, intuition and and adults perspective on things. He manages to "get" what Nadeko is all about in a very short period.

This show/story advances the Senjougahara/Araragi love story so much off screen that It makes me just a tad mad (could we ever get another episode 12 please?). So not only do we know they might spend the night together, but they're actually at the stage when their parents already know each other? That's pretty big, specially in Japan.

I'm also starting to like Kaiki more as a character, though he said in the beginning of the arc that his storytelling may be lies.

Though I'm curious about this scene: http://imgur.com/a/Sdx8k


My bet on Suruga's mother too. But I doubt she was his lover. Probably it was just unrequired love.

Kaiki: "I have never told a lie"

I lol'ed.

Anyway, really loving it that Kaiki is back. Strange that Nadeko's parents wouldn't even open her closet even though she's missing.

Also SO SO SO glad to see and hear Senjougahara more frequently now, good arc to do last.

Honestly, I didn't enjoy the series as much whenever it wasn't in Araragi's perspective (Hanekawa arc and Nadeko arc). But for some reason, I'm really enjoying this arc with Kaiki's perspective! Maybe this means I enjoy it more on a guy's perspective, or maybe Kaiki is just that exceptional as a character.

Kaiki is pretty awesome so far.

I want to know what's in that closet! I've been wanting to know since Nisemonogatari!

I don't mind not having a new OP because it means more time for the story and dialogue.

Best arc so far.

To be entirely honest this episode was nice till the point Nadeko appeared she was really annoying for the most part i was thinking she needs a good slap or something like that.
And she got more annoying as the episode moved on.

Kaiki is ok a guess i don't dislike him but i can't say i like him either, he does make things interesting in a way.
And his behaviour does indeed follow the pattern of a good scam artist he is sharp pays good attention and is a good judge of personality in people.
Despite his uncaring personality he gives of.

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.

I too now wonder what Nadeko keeps hidden inside her closet. Something tells me it's gonna be something important.

Seeing Kaiki in action was marvelous
The continuation of Senjougahara's conversation with Kaiki was full of thoughtful comments
Asking money for the return ticket was hilarious

I didn't expect a cheerful Nadeko at the shrine
Kaiki's mind to asses things and starting a chat were interesting

Another great episode. It's hard to not like Kaiki no matter how many bad things he's done. Easily the best character in the series.

I'm guessing his lover died in an accident. Looking forward to the rest of this arc.

Kaiki may be the most honest character in Monogatari! At least he admits he's a big fat liar...
All the other characters are filled with inner conflicts and false appearances, intentional or not. Of course that's what makes this series so darn good!

Is Kaiki a "bad goodguy" or a "good badguy"? Is there a difference?

She's really not at peace with herself, she has just lost her mind. She is taking insults as compliments and compliments as insults at this point, not to mention she's gone from being shy and quiet to overbearing and talkative. Going from one extreme to the next isn't being at peace with yourself, it's more like further losing yourself.

Kaiki picked up on this when he told her that she freaked people out and her hair was scary, yet she took it as a compliment. So much so he actually started feeling sorry for her, which seems like an alien concept for someone like him.

This bow is being too much, the monologues of Kaiki, and the appearances of Senjougahara and Nadeko were hilarious .. but hopefully Nadeko back to what it was, after all is the most kawaii of the serie.

As they say in Brazil, Kaiki is vida loka (crazy life)

Never change Kaiki. I never expected Nadeko to act like that. It was just as Kaiki said and she felt more threatening and creepy.

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!

As Kaiki says in his monologue, he never 'lost' his love because it never existed. He held feelings for her, they were not returned (and quite likely she never knew). I think the guesses that he was in love with Kanbaru's mother are spot-on (as an anime only follower).

As for Nadeko, I don't expect her to return to being human. I'm guessing she remains a god at her little shrine, the question is simply how do things move forward without her killing everyone.

I wouldn't think the closet was all that significant, I'm still curious about the epic school scene since she was talking third person though that could of just been to stage her entrance into delusions. Still I was really impressed with Kana's voice acting for it re-watched it like 6 times couldn't believe it was the same voice actress definitely best voice actress this series.

In regards to the parents well it's pretty clear that they were forcing the cutsy act on Sengoku naturally she'd feel resentment at being called 'cute' then since it's being forced on her and she was therefore happy when Kaiki said that she was scary and creepy. I doubt she'd take every insult as a compliment but dunno since she's got a low self esteem could feel glad about being put down. They, probably haven't opened it since the school incident would of reached there ears and they cant believe daughter would say such things.

I just really hope we don't get a Hachikuji Mayoi ending.

Kaiki is just incredible. While watching, you can feel the despair, even so, still entertained from the dialogue.

And the usual sick Nadeko ~_~

"The fake is more real than the real thing"

That statement strike me hard! And Kaiki still not cease to amaze me. While the conversation in Monogatari is its strength, actually the one that has "value" in it is from Kaki, others are just nonsense most of the time lol!

Can't wait to see how he trick this insane snake girl! Hope to get her back in the harem ;_;

On topic, another epic episode courtesy of Kaiki. This guy isn't as dark and shadowy as he used to be in Nise. Nice hairdo. Funny monologues. Fantastic dialogues. Character-wise, he is more interesting than the rest of the male characters in the whole series.
