Lol I thought this week was gonna be a recap. Couldn't take Senjougahara seriously in those glasses.

Haven't seen Kaiki in a while. He did waaaaay too many headtilts this episode haha

New ED is nice.

Oh damn, he is back indeed. Glorious episode. So glad it's not a recap and Senjouhara is brilliant as ever. Great stuff.

Love the music as well.

I was so ecstatic when I found out there was no recap this week :DDDDD

Brilliant episode as always and the way how the color schemes kept changing during the conversation was beautiful to watch. Loved how Senjougahara referred to Shinobu as the "loli-slave" (or at least from the daisuki translation)

Man I missed Kaiki and especially his ominous theme songs and it sounds like a new third one got added. Gotta get my hands on the BGM.

Comical episode. Didn't imagine the fraud would show up again. That shrine looked like Shimogamo Shrine featured in Uchoten Kazoku. Maybe it was an allusive reference to that anime: both tanuki and frauds trick people.

The episode had the theatrical feel. I enjoyed his monologue scene in a restroom especially. He is Gaen's disciple!?

She was willing to sell her body? Thats so fucked up. Kaiki is very cold hearted I'm surprised he's willing to help someone without profit, this "Gaen" person must be really important to him.

i think he wants to help her, but has to look for an actual reason befitting for his character so he can explains to the others.
look in the last scene beginning he said he would never help for free nor really wants to save araragi, gahara nor hanekawa. but as he rambles on, it becomes clear he wants to help them. then he realized the relationship between gaen, kanbaru, araragi and gahara. if someone else ask him now why he is working for free, he could now just say it was to repay an old debt to gaen

also she was saying this showing him how far she would go to save araragi. whether she would really do is another story, we probably will never know.

OT: after watching the subs:

gahara: where are you?
kaiki: [lieing] i am in osaka
gahara: very well, i will come over. but if you are not there, i will f'king kill you.
kaiki:... [boards plane to osaka]

This was freakin perfect. I died when Kaiki got his ass on the plane. Those Gahara glasses were great, but so was Kaiki's Hawaiian getup with the shades. Wasn't that coffee that he sploshed in her face?

Love the subtle development there at the end, he thought so hard on a logical reason to help them, but how many of his "No Da's" were lies anyway?

Glad Hanekawa's using her trip abroad to find Oshino, hope that happens sooner than later.

Oh man, im so glad it isnt a recap episode
When i first heard that Kaiki was going to narrate the story, i was a bit skeptic. Man, i just love that man for how brutally honest he is. He is the bad guy in most cases but he sure teaches you some valuable lessons in life.
I have already spoiled myself with this story, lets just say that Hitagi is the perfect woman :)

I actually thought he was trying hard to "deceive" himself into doing it.
After all, there is nothing in this world he can't deceive.

What's with the awesome negotiation episodes this week? First Log Horizon and now this, though this is more masterfully done :D

Laughed so hard when I saw Gahara's glasses. You could tell she's still doing that cold gaze (or is it a glare?) behind those glasses and that's what makes it funnier.

Kaiki and his awesomely sinister voice <3 Such a nice guy for even boarding that plane to Okinawa haha! Even throwing coffee at Senjougahara's face after she suggested prostitution. For someone who's seemingly heartless and only driven by monetary gain, he must really care a lot.

I wonder what the waitress was thinking seeing those two splash each other with drinks XD!

^^^ The waitress was thinking, "Good, I can sell more drinks!" LOL. Seriously I don't know what she was thinking...

When I originally read it, the "nose glasses" in my mind were cooler, like Morpheus' nose glasses from The Matrix. Senjougahara wearing Groucho glasses the entire episode made it very funny though Kaiki's Hawaii 5-O Terminator getup took the prize.

She sort of offered her body for him to trick Nadeko into sparing her and Araragi, rather than the two of them dying on graduation day. Whether or not she really said that depends on how much of Kaiki's account you believe of course. But it isn't anything she has actually done to this point, she was just mentioning it. Love how she mentions Hanekawa casually as her classmate with really big boobs, in case that would somehow entice him to save them LOL

I understood that part i was talking more about when he was thinking of reasons to help her in the bathroom. He mention a scam in the past prostitution and then it showed her.

I have waited too long for this. Sure, Hitagi is a great character, but based Kaiki is who is really going to carry this arc.

Either that, or it's just what hanekawa is in senjougahara's mind. You know, araragi likes Hanekawa's big boobs.

Just because there is a chance of Kanbaru being affected by thier deaths, he would deceive a god and save the two people he probably hates most. She must be really important to him.

I thought the same thing, I keep wondering whether or not he is lying when he says anything. I loved the ''DoDa'' ''No Da's''' part and the part where Senjougahara lost to Kaiki in the disguises haha.
