I gotta admit, this was pretty cool including Ougi Dark's OP theme song. We got Gaen and info dump about the town they are in.

It's also interesting to learn about Kiss-shot's connection to the town in the past.
Also revealed is that the possibility of finding a new God in the present timeline and her plan to defeat Ougi. I think this episode was a neat set up for the remaining episodes.

This arc is already turning out to be exciting. So Gaen's planning on getting rid of Ougi because she's an apparition. I mean, it was pretty obvious that she was an apparition. But it seems like they'll need a god at the shrine to prevent any more apparitions from appearing. Gaen's plan was to make Kiss-shot the god for the shrine, just like how she was supposed to be the god 400 years ago when she killed the previous shrine god. I guess that's why Gaen was so eager to turn Araragi back into human and make him and Shinobu sever their bond. But since Hachikuji was able to come back, she can take the role of a god. If she doesn't then she either has to go back to hell or get consumed by "darkness". A lot of stuff were mentioned in this episode, but everything is making more sense.

So the plan now is to make Mayoi the shrine goddess. Of course the goddess always has to be a loli.

I am really enjoying this season so far. All the threads are connecting and as the story is getting explained, everything starts to make more sense.

That Ougi OP is awesome!

But Shinobu just stole this episode for me. She was super adorable in this. The way she was playfully throwing Ononoki around was hilarious. Then her just holding Araragi from behind as if he was a doll was cute.

Everything is starting to come together.

I didn't like the OP that much. Visuals were good tho.

As for episode of course we have another superb ep.

Also seems like Hachikuji will be the god of lolicons smh.

I really love how alle the pieces are slowly coming together.

Hachikuji will become a god and Ougi has to be annihilated.

Loving the OP. Mizuhashi Kaori has such a goog singing voice. The visuals were superb.

Oh, the glorious loli team from Shinobu Time is kinda back. I really like the idea of Mayoi becoming a god.

Great episode. Was nice seeing Gaen, Araragi, Kisshot and Yotsugi at the park going over what each of them want to do. Was pretty funny seeing Kisshot being happy at the sight of seeing Araragi and playing around with Yotsugi.

I love how Kisshot was just hugging Aralucky from the back on the bench. Soooo cute! I wonder why she wants to go back to her younger body when her prime body is so so so much better. And Mayoi's stuttering/flubbing schtick never ever gets old

Kamimashita! I'd certainly visit shrine where loli is goddess >w< And if it makes Mayoi stay in real world, that's even better!

Shinobu in her adult form still acts like a small girl towards Araragi, how cute is that~

Opening was okay, nothing special though.

I just couldn't get enough of that Kami-mashita pun everytime they met.

now that I see Kiss-Shot in adult form, it's kinda cute to see her all over Araragi when she see him at the park, and also when she hug Araragi all the time.

That was quite informative to be honest, everything pretty much stayed in the same place, but they still managed to make it very interesting! Let's see what's next.

I love how in love Shinobu is with her master, she held him in her lap all the time haha. But going back to being a loli? Can't we compromise and make her a hot teenager instead again? ;)

Feels like I'm Listening to Literature With Nice Visuals...but I'm Alright with that. So long as I can Pause And read the English Subs of those 1 frame 1 second... I like How Kiss Shot hold Araragi Like how he holds her. and Even Still... Calls him Master Even though she is free from him.
Front Hooks...Oh yeah...

Cool opening song
Seeing Shinobu so cheerful after seeing Kizumonogatari really does make me happy, playing with Ononoki like that ^^
I just love how Shinobu kept holding on to Araragi, really cute!

I like the idea of Hachikuji becoming a god.
Ougi was merely acting like the darkness and not be the actual darkness ... interesting.
After all she's merely a "monster" / just another apparition.

Lol, poor Araragi and Ononoki, getting played with by Shinobu now that she is in her full form. Especially Ononoki, Shinobu is somehow getting back at her lol. Ougi's dark theme song has got to be the coolest theme song of the entire series, that is for me. Looks like Ougi isn't the darkness after all, she's just an ordinary apparition. All right then, I'll proceed watching the next one.

Ok now this arc has gone very interesting the opening was amazing like the dark theme on it telling Mayoi to become a god now that is very good.

Gaen telling the backstory on when Shinobu came tp Japan was amazing.

Can't wait to watch it later.

I'm very alright with Hachikuji becoming a god.

And so Ougi is a monster? I mean I knew she wasn't human, but I didn't expect her to be a monster. I wonder how they'll exterminate her?

That OP was amazing damn, visuals were very suggestive too, with those 2 Ougi's, it's like it's saying that she's like born from someone specifically Araragi, something like that.

My headcanon now is that, the sole reason the Kamimashita gag with Hachikuji exists was solely for this moment with that God pun lmao. Speaking of the Kamimashita gag though, that will never get old.

Aww Shinobu wants to go back to being smol Shinobu and just wants to stay with Araragi. That was a fantastic episode. Still really amaze how everything is just tying together, from Shinobu landing on that exact same spot in the park to now with how the Shirahebi shrine and park was born, fucking awesome.

This episodes has a lot of dialogs that are important to the story

And it's really interesting how gaen managed to control the situation all of the participants to gaen's plan she managed to convinced them to participate he's plan while Araragi and the other's still have a benefit of doing so which is great

Im looking forward what's gonna happen to ougi now and what's he's motivation for doing things the same as the darkness...........

That three-way deadlock also happened in Naruto.
I'm curious to see why Ougi is such a "monster." Is she a psycho deep inside?

I'm surprised that Araragi is surprised that Ougi is an apparition. I thought he had it figured out.

Also, love how Shinobu's hugging onto Araragi. She's changed so much since Kizu, having spent so much time with him.
