Man Hitagi and Araragi have such a good chemistry! Araragi broke them chains like a badass upon noticing that his sisters were in danger!
I wonder what's Kaiki's deal and what did Hanekawa say to Hitagi that made her act like that.

it's becoming all the more obvious that this kaiki guy was the person who attempted to sexually assault hitagi thus her extreme defensive mechanism in order to protect that who she treasures (that being araragi)

Always love a good Akira reference.
Best episode of the season so far, lots of intrigue with Kaiki and the call with Hanekawa! Great dialogue between Araragi and Senjougahara.

The series is really starting to take off for me. From the card game at Kanbaru's place to the encounter with Kaiki which ultimately brings us to Koyomi is chains, the action was unusually continuous for a change. The dialogue between Koyomi and Hitagi actually brought in a lot of elements of the story, which is also not typical of the series but it was welcomed. There were still elements of Hitagi's Tsundere nature and threatening jokes. But it all broke free with the phone call and Kooyomi breaking the chains to help his family. I was definitely surprised to learn the call was from Hanekawa. Interested to see what she's up to.

I love the dynamic Araragi and Senjougahara have together. Kaiki's introduction was great. And Araragi breaking out was so かっけ!

Great, the plot finally picks up and more importantly, plenty of Senjougahara and Susarargi interactions. Did not expect to support a kidnapping but Gahara-san just built different.

interesting episode. I found the smooth movements of each part of Kanbaru's body incredible, the designs are great. that guy is sinister. Senjougahara seems to know about him, she needed to do all that with Araragi.

Cool episode this was and it seems an interesting character named Kaiki has been introduced hmm..
I hope he's not that much of a douchebag.

Futakotome returns. This time with actual character arts instead of silhouettes. I wonder if Hachikuji was referring to that?

Finally, we have the debut of

Araragi is lucky that Senjougahara tolerates adultery... for some reason. Even though she seems like the possessive girlfriend. I guess the out-of-universe reason is that the series needs that to remain an ecchi harem. I liked how she could literally smell how many women Araragi spent the day with tho. That shit's so crazy it's comical.

This episode also finally gave the lead-up to how Senjougahara kidnapped Araragi. She kidnapped him to protect him. I doubt that'd fly in court.

The ending bit was done so well. Araragi could break out any time he wanted with his vampire strength. But he played along just because it's his girlfriend. But I guess family comes first. Especially when they're in danger and need you.

And also, this was probably the one and only time Senjougahara was seen flustered. Just because Hanekawa was on the other end of the call.
