Araragi, the awesome incestuous brother xD
He have such an innapropriate relationship with everyone :P

I don't know why but I expected Kaiki to make a comeback before the end. He was just too awesome of a vilain :P

That scene in front of the house was so intense. About Tsukihi, it was kinda expected, I mean the title was about a phoenix and the mythology around phoenix is about their ability to regenerate. I didn't expect her to be a fake though... But, because of that, he can feel no guilt from touching his sister breast since it wasn't really her :P
Even if I'm sure he wasn't feeling guilt at all from the start...

What if Kirino from OreImo becomes one of Araragi's sisters... hmmmm....

Kaiki is back huh.. he really reminds me of Wolverine

soo Tsukihi IS the phoenix or she's just being possessed by it?? it's confusing but I guess I'll find that out in the next episode

It's not like Tsukihi has any evil intentions does she not? There is a chance that we all had been fooled by her innocent appearance though. Maybe she's actually an evil supernatural creature.

He is really into incest ... damn dude .. lucky enough.
Gahh!! shit !! I didn't think that Mister donut is so popular even villains from past episode came out of nowhere inside of Mister donut!!
Ghost busters.. sounds so familiar enough.
Onmyouji... and shikigami does looks and sounds like it is from a ancient magic of some sort of or something that Mages description ... (look for anime that is like it.. I recommend .. Tokyo ravens for an awesome magical anime!! and Mahou Sensou also!! but it don't collide with the word "Onmyouji" but it has Magic in its genre.)
Now it really gone to the "Supernatural" genre ...
Well shit.. THE FIGHT BEGINS!!
Unlimited rulebook... sounds alike a powerful word... and I am Correct !!
Damn.. its Koyomi berserk rage form or something lol!!
HIGH-SPEED REGENERATION!! now this could only resort to a immortal creature called...
The Rare Firebird ..The Phoenix ~!! -as describe by the posed look familiar.. but its evil in her.
Woah.. Tsukihi have some incredible creature!! so awesome!!
A Fake sister!? WTF!!? and they call supernatural creatures Evil!?
Things is getting interesting!!
Their Justice coexisted-like of the Navy's Justice.(One piece Ref.!!)
Hmm... I just learn a Fact about that Bird... but its not good to say it in this episode ..
so I will not say it until they show the True bird ... so all of this Facts is current pointed Straight at this Episode at the moment ...
Nice Ending!!!
Pretty Good Episode!!!

Shinobu was awesome in this episode. It was really funny how they found Kaiki in the donut shop. Kaiki's probably my favorite character in this series so far. The ending to this episode was really intense. It was cool how Araragi freaked out at the end. I wonder how they're going to wrap this all up in the final episode of Nisemonogatari.?

Heh, Araragi sure has nice relations with his sisters :D So that scar was indicative of that? Phoenix.
I really don't see how she is evil.

Shinobu was so cute this time. She acts totally as child when near cakes. Donut time! :D

But.... Fake sister? Don't want to believe that. Or at least I want to see him fight for her. For the fake has become more real than original.

This episode was the first time where I disliked koyomi a bit. Seriously, giving your little sister an orgasm while brushing her thooth is one thing, but intentionally and out of nowhere molesting your other little sister isnt nice :/

Daaaamn, when Shinobu said ask that guy over there, I really hoped it was Oshino..

Tsukihi is so damn cute. Abd she always wears her yukatas which is another plus point ^^

A Fake sister? ep 10.

Plot: After seeing Shinobu get well fed on donuts, Koyomi learns from Kaiki, who was just back for some reason, that Kagenui and Yotsugi are real deal ghost busters that specializes in immortals. So its obvious that they would be after Shinobu and Koyomi right? Wrong. It's tsukihi, who is actually a rare firebird aka Phoenix.

Character: We finally see Tsukihi and it seems that Koyomi was right about her and the fake justice. Tsukhi doesn't have a sense of justice and merely goes along with the thoughts of those around her like Karen and Koyomi. The part where she is revealed to be an immortal Phoenix was a shock but then that part where Koyomi noticed her scar was gone was some good foreshadowing. ANd could a fake develop their own sense of justice?

Kagenui and Yotsugi are dang powerful but its feels more like Koyomi keeps getting nerfed. They also have that annoying sense of justice thing going on and they're not completely wrong. Whether she knows or not, Tsukihi has been revealed as a fake/Oddity living amongst humans and deceiving them on her true nature. Had she been a malevolent Oddity, this would be a horrifying thing.

Animation/sound: Seeing Koyomi freak out made this compelling to watch along with Yotsugi's attack.

4/5. A bit late but man did it deliver.

Brilliant episode!
Man, Tsukihi is so hot, cute and seductive. No wonder he doesn't want that someone outside could see her half-dressed. This is my favorite her haircut. And dat wincest, yummy. May be able to touch Tsukihi's soft boobies man I hate him! I'm platinum mad! I wish she was my step-sister :pure evil thoughts:
Anyway loved her tuft acting like Koyomi's, usually only his tuft expresses his feelings.

<333333


Shinobu and Kaiki were osom, and Kaiki managed to get Koyomi's wallet too so now Koyomi and Karen are both losers lalalala hehehe. By the way 100 yen for sale is too expensive, donuts in my local store usually cost 72 cent or 86 yen.



And Tsukihi with an awl looooool

Tsukihi's fake death and Koyomi's reaction were epic. Well, I can understand him.

Seems like those two are a more brutal and heartless take on the exorcist, than what we've seen in the past with Oshino.

I have no idea how this is going to be resolved in a single episode.

Omigod I wasn't expecting that. I mean, he mentioned the immortal part at the beginning of the arc but I thought it was the "fake" part or a metaphor. Does Tsukihi even exist? Like, is she a person possessed or did she literally create a fake human persona?

Also, what is with everyone's hairstyles changing?!
Is this just Shaft being Shaft, or did some time pass by in the Monogatari universe bc I'm pretty sure Tsukihi had shorter hair last episode? Maybe she can just alter her form because she's not human.
So many questions!

Shinobu stepping out of Araragi's shadow was great since she's not been around much and I love her!
Spat my drink out when Kaiki was sat across the room eating donuts and Shinobu's like "well, how about we ask that dude?"
Seriously, you know whenever Shinobu and Kaiki are around the music is gonna be insane...so having them both in the same episode is a treat!

Shinobu's so freaking kawaii eating her donut. Hihihi. I wanna treat her a Krispy Kreme Donut, though she prefers Mister Donut. Damnit.

As always, Koyomi being the biggest perv touching Tsukihi's oppai. Freaking goddamnit, chill your libido. Hahahaha. Is it really appropriate to get her naked just to see her scar? Pfffft. I caaaan't. Hahaha!

I honestly need that sunny-side up egg pin on Karen and Tsukihi's hairs. Ugh. I need one.

So, those two characters are after Tsukihi with her being a supernatural creature. Holy shit. And Tsukishi is a phoenix. I screamed so loud when that green-haired girl "blown" Tsukihi's upper half, but her body grew again.

Poor Koyomi, though. Gaaaaah. Probably the first time I saw him being THAT angry. Hory shet.

I miss Senjougahara. ;-;

I was not expecting to see Kaiki again so soon and I think the same goes for Araragi lol

Also how long has Tsukihi been the Phoenix, long enough that Araragi would believe the Phoenix is more like his sister than his actual sister? Or has it been impersonating her short enough that Araragi will try and find his sister, unless she has already been lost/consumed by the monster possessing her? I guess I'll have to see in the final episode of the season

And they decided to fully trust Kaiki's word.lol.

Shinobu's real name was too damn long: Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade

So Tsukihi itself was a supernatural creature. But she's harmless, so I guess it's OK to keep her. Lol Tsukihi being called a con.

Seems this season's topic is Real and Fake. Thus the name "Nisemonogatari".

"It's actually a rather serious situation, one requiring drastic action."
>donuts

Tsukihi got stripped before she had any idea what was going on. Does Araragi have experience ripping kimonos off of teenage girls? Shinobu is so cute getting so excited over donuts. The standoff between Shinobu and Araragi over donuts was funny. Kaiki's dark and sad theme getting played, while he's eating a donut with a fucking fork, is way funnier than it has any right to be. He could at least give Araragi the wallet back... Good wallets aren't cheap. Ononoki doesn't really know how to hold back, does she? Is Tsuhiki going to die? F.

Another great ep. Although the plot was slow in terms of progressing, we finally get to see Tsukihi's story. Really about time tbh. Very cute scene with her and Koyomi-san. Cute to see Tsukihi-chan growing her her. It really suits her and her cuteness increases 10 fold
Also, that scene with her and Koyomi was cute and hilarious at the same time
Looks like it's impossible for Koyomi to not grope his sisters undeveloped breasts. LOL! A real pervert among the main protagonists.

Shinobu is adorable with that hat
. Makes her very cute. Hard to not like her now. She is even more adorable when eating donuts
. Damn, that melted my heart totally.

Now that Shinobu is "protecting" Araragi's family it's hard to not like her. She was not obliged in any way to help Araragi, but here she did which is really cool. Looks like she has some kind of affection for Araragi, though she is not showing it like a real tsundere.

I wonder how they will end this season with only 1 ep. Maybe the story with continue in Nekomonogatari Kuro (which I doubt, but you never know). :)

And only during the last 2 episodes we have information about Tsukihi in her own arc looool.

Yeeee, more Kaiki scenes! Probably the best character introduced in Nisemonogatari so far! The title of the arc spoiled me Tsukihi real form, so I'm not surprised by what she is but how it was "killed".

Soooo Tsukihi was just a fake? I wonder how'll they'll explain this in one episode lol. Yotsugi just kinda went off on Tsukihi there, curious to find out more about her and Kagenui.

Great to get more Shinobu scenes. Still can't comprehend the fact that she's over 500 years old and gets giddy over donuts haha. And didn't expect to see Kaiki there, he's actually kind of a cool dude despite conning people.

Fake has even more meaning now, Tsukihi is literally a fake. Though does that mean there was never a "Tsukihi" to begin with. But it was the phoenix the whole time. Shinobu was really cool at the end there. Ononoki's power is interesting damn.

Obsessed-with-donuts Shinobu is absolutely cute.

Wait, so Tsukihi didn't exist? As in, she's not really an Araragi? She's an apparition? As someone who really likes Tsukihi, this is somewhat heartbreaking... Guess we'll have to see in the last episode.

How cute:3

Lmao didn't expect Kaiki to pop up like that


Damn Tsukihi's a fake and she's a phoenix...
So Kagenoi's a ghostbuster and Ononoki is her shikigami(or a familiar). Also Ononoki's attack was pretty darn strong.

I wanna see how they will wrap up the arc in a single ep

Awesome episode, really smart twist with Tsukihi, nice foreshadowing. Forgot how it ended so I'm excited to see what happens in the finale.
Funny episode as well, with the donut shop, Shinobu enjoying Mr. Donut, Kaiki being there (guessed it would be Kaiki when Shinobu pointed, haha).
End definitely was like, "oh fuck," pretty tense.
Season's overall looking like an 8/10.

This was another good one in terms of story and action. The trip to Mr Donut was like a trip back in time for me. We had Mr Donuts in the NE US when I was growing up, although they eventually all got absorbed into Dunkin at some point. But apparently it's still a thing in Japan. I can connect with Shinobu's amazement at seeing all of the donuts on display- it was a feast for my young eyes to see all of those tasty delights. It's strange that they each ordered 5 though, instead of just getting a dozen Anyway, great memories of eating donuts in the car with my Mom and brother. Certainly better family values than Koyomi exhibits at the Araragi residence. That's all I'm going to say about that.

The scene with Yotsugi and Yozuru was disturbing and exciting, when they blew away Tsuhiki's upper half. I wasn't sure if she was going to recover, but was quite relieved that she did. It's clear that Tsuhiki is a pretty powerful creature, so I'm interest to see how this wraps up in the final ep.
