| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kaiki :> Ha, I find that running scene to be amusing. So, Araragi apparently talked to Kaiki about Kanbaru before. How interesting. And also, Kaiki's outfit was pretty awesome during the dinner scene. I also notice she is using her other arm. Kaiki has some interesting advice as well. Great to see him around in this episode. He's one of my favorites from the franchise. The basketball match looks fun. |
 |
| Kanbaru’s first encounter with Kaiki was hilarious. Loved how she immediately tried to run away. Kaiki runs fast as hell! Their lunch started off so awkwardly, but the reason Kaiki was so interested in talking with her was because he used to know her mother. He knows who Numachi is too. |
| Why nobody talk about his beard?!?!? |
 |
| HOLY SHIT KAIKI'S ALIIIVE!!! |
Grouchio said: And he has a great beard! LOLHOLY SHIT KAIKI'S ALIIIVE!!! But you weren't surprised he was alive, come on LOL |
| That is a glorious fucking beard. |

| Oh Kaiki, I missed you. How did you managed to be alive after Koimonogatari? c: Anyways, Suruga's left arm Devil Paw transferred to Rouka is kinda funny. She gripped her breast, lmao. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| KAIKI!!! :D Why u so awesome >.<!! Even his interactions with Suruga are so awesome hehe. Lol'd so much at how he was running XD Suruga's face when she was frustrated due to losing was so adorable <3 |
 |
| What the? Is it just me or Kaiki's voice sounds.. different? |
| Kaiki's look is so awesome! It fits him perfectly. That beard and those glasses. Kanbaru and Kaiki's meeting was fun. He actually outran her. He was also funny this episode. That girl with the crutches was the collector. |
| Kaiki, what a boss. LOL that running scene. He outran Kanbaru XD Dat beard. Dat glorious beard. |
 |
| Wooohoo Kaiki the best Monogatari character is back, with sweg and clean beard. Really loved their encounter this episode, great stuff. Also kids dont forget, it's all about meat. |
 |
| Dat beard Lol @ running scene xD Kaiki is the best gril!! xD Yeah, gril!! Niku.. Niku.. and Niku.. Where's Sena?? xD Oh, Numachi Rouka again |
"Signature removed"   |
| So I heard, Kaiki loves meat. He truly loves loving meat. |
| I want to learn that Kaiki Style running,too And congratulate Higasa,first side character with face in Monogatari Series...She even did the Head Tilt thing... |
 |
| Well it's no Hawaiian shirt...but god that beard. And that super Kaiki dash! His typical way he talks and the way he kept saying "Niku niku niku" hahaha I just can't...it was so much amazement my face hurt from smiling too much. That Kanbaru fanservice at the beginning was ok but it was nothing compared to the pure amount of Kaiki... tl;dr I think I'm gay for Kaiki T_T |
| Ohooo, a naked Suruga :3 Ah, because her arm is back to normal her balance is off heh. I knew it that Ougi was faking being a boy lol. LOL, Kaiki's alive and rocking a beard now XD. He's faster than Suruga :o Meat, meat, meat, meat and of course even more meat!!! Ah, so Rouka told Kaiki of where to find Suruga huh. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| HNNNNNGGGG http://a.pomf.se/avcnpw.webm  |

Inevitabilis said: What the? Is it just me or Kaiki's voice sounds.. different? It's just you. |
| Fucking Kaiki with his glorious beard and his hilarious Kaiki Stride. Magnificent as always. |
 |
| YEAH, Kaiki baby! Feels good seing him alive and kicking (and running) after all the left-for-dead in the snow business. Nice interaction with Suruga btw, hope she'll need him and call him by episode 5. |
 |
| Dat beard! Really happy to see that Kaiki is alive. Kaiki looks more grown up with the beard. If that makes since. Kind of teared up when Kanbaru hurt her arm. I'm happy she got it back. Speaking of being back there go Rouka or the collector. Wonder how things are going to play out from here. Also love the whole love discussion Kaiki and Kanbaru had about her mother. Woman of his dream huh. |
 |
| Two thumbs up for the Kaiki Stride! And that beard! Most excellent. I loved what he told Kanbaru about not being a "scammer" all of the time. He can make his points better than almost anyone else in this series. |

| A lot of meat talk :p pretty nice episode in general so let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Kaiki's alive! Yay!!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| It's good to see Kaiki with (beard) again. And how the fuck did he outrun Suruga ? |
 |
| Oh man the way Kaiki runs, amazing, I laughed so much ^^ Kaiki ur amazing ! Both characters are great! |
 |
| Kaiki... isn't dead.....? How... He got stabbed multiple time and left dead in the snow, how did he managed to survive? Did Senjougahara saved him? Anyway, glad to see he didn't lost his sarcastic tone :) It was damn hilarious the way he was running and flew by Suruga like it is nothing. Probably one of his ''tricks''. ''Niku! Niku!''. By the way, you messed up the cooking at one point, Kaiki. Yeah, I remember that he showed a lot of interest into Kanbaru, now we know why, or at least, I think we know. Because, you know, he's a crook. So the mystery get thicker. A demon collector will come to get her monkey paw. But somehow, she already lost it. Could that mean that this collector is in fact Numachi? Could she directly have taken the monkey paw from her? Maybe she's listening to those people problem to find the other pieces. |

| Kaiki that look is very... indie. Taking upon himself to catch up with the trend, confirmed for best character~ hnnnnng, this part was glorious |
 |
| Kaiki's alive! Life is good again. |
| The badass gentlemen Kaiki is back! He beats a girl in a footrace effortlessly then treats her to dinner, talk about class! And he showed off his philosophy of meat! Niku is love. Niku is life. Kaiki being a badass. Kaiki being a gentlemen. |
 |
| Kaikiiiii, great episode ^.^ Missed the guy. |
| Hanamonogatari has just become awesome to me. Kaiki Alive??? Check Kaiki witty and badass as ever? You Bet Kaiki treating someone to a meal??? Yup Kaiki is Best Character in the series by a wide margin, so it's great to have him alive and kicking. 5/5 |
Ice9 said: Meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat! Seriously was the a significance to meat in the context of the encounter? What am I missing here? I think that the meat (both literally and figuratively) is supposed to represent "substance". Like, when Kaiki tells Kanbaru that people who eat lots of meat are happy, what he's really saying is that people who do things that have meaning for them and that are fulfilling will have happy, satisfying lives (in a cultural sense, meat represents prosperity because it's expensive; it's also considered--especially in Western cultures--to be the most substantial part of a meal). Kaiki also says that Kanbaru needs to eat more meat because she's scrawny. This is referring to how, for a long time, Kanbaru's life hasn't been truly fulfilling (the stuff that's dealt with in the Suruga Monkey arc in Bakemonogatari that she hasn't been able to fully move past, and also possibly some things from earlier in her life that involved previous times she used the Monkey's Paw). Those are ways that the idea of meat was used figuratively. Meat is used literally as imagery to represent the substance of the conversation. At the beginning of the conversation, Kaiki says, "I'll prepare the meat," meaning he's going to use the conversation to attempt to achieve some end. Also, when Kanbaru brings up the topic of Kaiki's feelings for her mom, Kaiki had just picked up a piece of meat. They were about to go off on another topic, but when the topic shifts to Kanbaru's mom, Kaiki puts down that piece of meat, symbolizing that he doesn't want to get into the "meat" of that topic. He does talk about it, but in really general terms. Also, as that topic is discussed and then the conversation goes on to other things, that piece of meat gradually burns and shrivels up into a crisp, symbolizing what happened to the topic of conversation it represented. At least, that was my take on what the meat meant. |
| Kaiki knew that Kanbaru was a track athlete at her school so i'm betting because he believed that his confrontation with Kanbaru would be soon that he probably trained his body weeks or months in preparation since he easily predicted that Kanbaru would upon first glance try to run from him. |
| was so surprised to see that he had grown facial hair. that meat restaurant made me so hungry. why is he stuffing her. can't help but think of him stuffing her in an oven |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Lmao, Kaiki looks like shit xD At least he's alive! (48:48) |
My goodness, waifu!!!!!!!!!! HNNNNGGGG |
