Shinobu would probably have a well-rehearsed, heartfelt chat with Araragi and convince him to break up if Senjougahara ever got that bad. She wants to be a good life partner, not one that unilaterally makes decisions for him.

>>143229444
>She wants to be a good life partner, not one that unilaterally makes decisions for him.
yeah, this idea was solidified in shinobu mail after that shinobu/kanbaru talk at the shrine. one of my favorite scenes

>>143229444
I think Araragi should stay with crab girl because I think she genuinely does love him. Personally I think she might feel this was for now because she's been pretty introverted for the past few years but I think having Araragi around will help her self-confidence and make her more outgoing. After a while, especially if she goes to college, she'll need Araragi less and less and maybe then their relationship can end on good terms. Or at the very least they'll simply drift apart until they both realize there's nothing left for them to do with each other.

I wasn't talking about it in general. I was only talking about the hypothetical situation where Senjougahara is making him miserable. The final scene of Zokuowari shows that their relationship is good for Araragi.

>>143230805
>I think Araragi should stay with crab girl because I think she genuinely does love him.
yeah, but the same goes for Shinobu. Araragi is a coward, he doesn't have the guts to choose Shinobu over Senjougahara, which brings Shinobu only misfortune being with Araragi. Araragi said that both he and Shinobu are not happy, that's the way he still feels. But he says that maybe 400 years or so in the furute, this train of though may be slightly altered. Implaying that he is going to wait for Senjougahara to die before swiching over the Shinobu, because he does not have the guts to make that decision right now. He says he is unhappy, but he does nothing in order to change this.

It doesn't though. She's having the time of her life right now. It's not the best Araragi could do but Shinobu is still doing well.

>Araragi said that both he and Shinobu are not happy, that's the way he still feels
I'm pretty sure he said that out of guilt rather than because it's true. He still feels bad over forcing Shinobu into their current relationship and thinks that how close they've gotten is practically cheating on Crab.

Araragi shouldn't necessarily drop either one of them, but he should still give Shinobu some full loving before his human lifespan ends because it would be too tragic if they held off because they thought he would have an extended lifespan but it ended up not being the case. They'd have to frame it in some dumb mental gymnastics because neither of them could accept the truth, but it should still happen.

>>143232062
>It doesn't though. She's having the time of her life right now. It's not the best Araragi could do but Shinobu is still doing well.
I think I should have said that as: it brings Shinobu misfortune and not only misfortune. Still having to watch the man you love (basicly married to) be with another woman still hurts. And yes, she is 'happier' the happiest she has been in her entire life.

>He still feels bad over forcing Shinobu into their current relationship and thinks that how close they've gotten is practically cheating on Crab.

Yes, Araragi is realzing what he is doing atleast, but he does nothing to change it. And it this case I would say it's Araragi cheating in Shinobu instead of the other way around.

>>143232550
Granted, I've only watch Bakemonogatari and just started Nisemonogatari, but it seems like Araragi was able to get over rejecting Hanekawa pretty easily. Was it easier because she was possessed/taken over by the cat oddity? Or was he able to do it because he actually loves Crab? Do you think that plays at all into the love triangle between Crab/Araragi/Shinobu?

>>143232550
I'm sure Shinobu herself is torn over whether or not she wants Araragi to herself. On one hand, she has to watch him be with another woman and know all of the details intimately which sucks. On the other hand, she genuinely wants the best for Araragi, including giving him the chance to live a human life that she never had. Especially since she herself feels guilty about dragging him into the world of the supernatural for wholly selfish reasons. If Araragi chooses Shinobu as his lover and refuses to take any others, then he's giving up a huge chunk of his life as a human.

>>143233000
In Tsubasa Cat, he was just refusing a confession by proxy on principal.

They have other issues though. Araragi just isn't very romantically compatible with Hanekawa. They're great friends, but they both have this fundamental worship/hate going on towards each other that is just going to fuck any serious relationship up horribly. There was even part of the more recent commentaries where Shinobu and Hachikuji(?) discuss how they think a relationship between them would fall apart.

Is Araragi really any more compatible with Crab? I do think she loves him, but I don't think it'll last forever. This is both of their first loves, which usually burn bright and then slowly fade. As they both grow up I think they'll likely drift apart due to wanting different things in life.

>>143233957
>have this weird idealised view of the guy
True, though you have to think that he was technically the only one who was able to save them from what was happening. He was one of the only people that actually believed them and knew what to do. In their view, he really was like a knight in shining armor. I guess since everything that had happened seemed so unreal (especially for Cat and Crab, since they're likely more into science and rational explanations as opposed to the supernatural) they are sort of unsure how to deal with what happens next. The fact that Araragi helps them and asks nothing in return is probably the worst, because it makes him seem even more like a gallant knight. To the girls, he's someone who showed up, shouldered all their burdens, and took them away without even asking for a penny in return. They feel indebted to him in many ways, and since they're young I think that debt is transferred into a sort of romantic reverence.

There can be infinite sets contained within other infinite sets, in that case we can asume that one set is bigger than the other.
A quick example: there are infinite natural numbers, however, it's been demonstrated that the set of real numbers is bigger (and it's obvious when you think about it), despite both being infinite.

His priorities all of over the place to be honest. Has he vowd to Shinobu that he is going to live and die his life together with her, but when they were both a little angry at the other Araragi dicides and get's himself a girlfriend. Granted he probably was not completely aware that Shinobu loved him, but know that he knows I want him to approuch this subject and talk about it.

>>143243965
In Araragi's defense, he wasn't intending to get romantically involved with Shinobu and he didn't fall in love with her until a couple months after he started dating Senjougahara.

It's pretty heavily implied he's been in love with her since Kizu, but tried to put those feelings away because of the shit that went down between them.

Captivated? Sure. A bit of a crush? Maybe. In love? I'm not buying it. Araragi was too self-flagellating during Kizu for me to read his actions as love. Plus, wasn't Shinobu's tantrum during Bake because she realized she wasn't as special to him as she thought?

>Araragi has one and he's trying to hold back his relationship with her
Their current conversations/playtimes look like the most comfy/intimate shit regardless but it's still frustrating.

>>143245177
I feel like "crush" vs "in love" is way too close to being purely subjective semantics. The point is that he clearly has serious romantic feelings in the story, and Kabuki in particular makes it a point to trace those feelings back to Kizu. In Kizu itself he outright admitted an emotional attachment to her, and his internal turmoil at realizing she eats humans was much more extreme than what could be described as simple shock and regret.

As for Shinobu, she can't expected to know exactly what Araragi thinks of her, especially when their relationship was so strained. Even in Kabuki and Oni she expresses frustration at how unclear he is about how he feels about her.

Kizu and Kabuki are best love stories ever told.

>>143245448
A crush and love are very different. We're talking the difference between a spark and an explosion. Crushes happen and burn out without meaning anything all the time. It doesn't hold any sort of obligation for either party. An emotional attachment definitely doesn't have to mean love. Especially since Araragi is very much the type of person who is able to be just friends with girls.

You can't discuss their feelings for each other without mentioning the events of Kizu because it was such an important, formative time for them. Araragi's vow at the end of Kizu, though dramatic, was a platonic one.

>>143245445

>>143245739
She's still bashful at the thought of a kiss. I don't doubt she wants the Arara-D but it's not on the itinerary for another few years. I think that she would get off on cucking Crab anyways; sexy as fuck vampire taking what she wants and all that. Hell, if Senjougahara and Araragi are engaged while she does it then it's a reenactment of part of Dracula with the genders switched.

>>143245448
If you want me to try and pinpoint the moment I think that Araragi fell in love with Shinobu, it was probably Nise 11. Shinobu was basically the perfect support then. She laughed in Kagenui's face for thinking he had lost, helped him up, and then stood back and let Araragi shine while still staying by his side while showing complete and utter confidence in him.

>>143245692
>A crush and love are very different. We're talking the difference between a spark and an explosion
This isn't what I would call a statement of any substance.

>Crushes happen and burn out without meaning anything all the time.
I guess Araragi's feelings aren't a crush then, considering they are both meaningful and have not burnt out.

>You can't discuss their feelings for each other without mentioning the events of Kizu because it was such an important, formative time for them.
I agree, it was a crucial time in their relationship's development, which makes it all the more questionable to claim it had no romantic influence considering the highly romantic nature of their ongoing relationship.

>Araragi's vow at the end of Kizu, though dramatic, was a platonic one.
In the sense that he had already buried his feelings when he resolved to kill her, sure.

>>143246540
While it was a good scenario to show their mended relationship, it's pretty low-key in terms of their overall development. Araragi has, to my knowledge, never reminisced over that time like he has about Kizu.

>>143246545
We're talking about orders of magnitude of romantic feelings between a crush and love. Having someone try to use you as an accomplice for suicide can really kill a budding romance. Just because you no longer have a crush on someone, doesn't mean you stop liking them entirely and Araragi doesn't need romantic justification to risk/spend his life saving someone else anyways.

As far as Kizu being important to their current relationship, they've just started seeing it in a more romantic light after their relationship became romantic. As an analogue: getting into an ideological fight with a cute girl where you end up learning a lot about each other and becoming friends doesn't have to mean anything romantic at the time, but if you start dating later then it's totally normal to look back at that time as important to your current romance because it was when you really got to know each other. Maybe one of dated someone else between then and when you got together, but that wouldn't be cheating or anything because you weren't in a romantic relationship then. That's what Araragi and Shinobu's relationship looks like to me.

While plausible, this is largely just speculative. It can, it also can not. It also doesn't argue against the point that he did, in fact, have romantic feelings for Kissshot.

>As far as Kizu being important to their current relationship, they've just started seeing it in a more romantic light after their relationship became romantic.
I understand your point, but Araragi was really pretty specific about this in Kabuki.

>As for the main factor for why that holiday was something I could only remember bitterly, full of regrets ―― even though it was that hellish.
>Yet ―― memories of having fun too.
>Were also firmly included in there, that was why.
>Misfortune will never reverse into fortune.
>However, aside along misfortune ―― fortune was there as well.

He didn't see the bad parts in a better light, he just remembered the good parts, and the first thing he does is tries to get a kiss from Shinobu. The actual bad parts about Kizu traumatized the fuck out of him (remember, he saw a human corpse being devoured by someone he has feelings for, felt personally responsible for that image and decided he had to personally kill that person as atonement) and he still hasn't been able to let go of them yet even in Shinobu Time.

>>143247569
It's pretty likely that he had some degree of romantic feelings for Kiss-Shot. She's impossibly attractive and they were both vulnerable for an extended period of time together. I just think they were a small, momentary thing and that saying Araragi had some burning love for Shinobu that he was suppressing throughout Bake is wrong. He just genuinely didn't think of her romantically then.

It's hard to trust that quote of Araragi's when one of the misfortunes he's talking about totally gets turned into fortune. Kizu's big "tragedy" is that they compromised into their current soulbound state and both "became miserable" but by Kabuki it's a happy one and Route X Kiss-Shot is used to illustrate that.

>>143248248
That's Kissshot's perspective, not Araragi's. Even in Shinobu Mail's ending he reaffirms that he still sees it as miserable. Shinobu has hundreds of years of maturity behind her, but Araragi was just an emotionally-fragile teenager. Kizu royally fucked him up.

>He just genuinely didn't think of her romantically then.
I don't see any reason to believe so. The message sent by him trying to kiss her in Kabuki was blatantly clear.

>>143248248
His reaction when he found out that Kiss-shot needed to eat humans was really extreme to me. It showed me that he was breaking bit by bit when resolving himself to kill her. When Hanekawa helped Araragi figure out what Kiss-shot was actually trying to do he cried tears of blood. I felt as if he got extremely angry, but not at her, more so at himself and fate i guess.

In route X Shinobu/Kiss-shots feelings have been made very clear. When she fell in love being at the begining of Kizu or a little later in Kizu, I am not sure. But I am sure that they both fell for the other in Kizu. Araragi and Kiss-shot did something unforgiveble to the other. They were both angry at the other.

Araragi striped kiss-shot of her power en pride and forced her to live while she died.
Kiss-shot deceived Araragi into wanting to kill her in order to turn him back into a human.

>>143249489
Araragi sounds like he's full of shit during his speech at the end of Shinobu Mail. Ononoki didn't look convinced either. I really can't see their relationship as unhappy. I don't see any evidence of them being hung up on those events. They were shit, they're not going to happen again. They've moved on. I think he's more held back from fear of rocking the boat and the idea that being fully honest with his feelings for Shinobu would count as cheating on Senjougahara.

I guess I need to reread Kabuki because I don't remember the kiss being evidence of their past relationship, only evidence of their relationship at the time and where it's headed.

>>143249578
Araragi had a really extreme reaction to a teacher throwing a student under the bus to cover their ass. He just does that sort of thing whenever he has to face something ugly. Watching a human get eviscerated right in front of your face is traumatic. Realizing that someone you were getting close to was suffering and trying to kill themselves is sad. These are all things that don't need love as an explanation. It's not until Kabuki that we start getting any indication that they have romantic feelings for each other.

How he sounded is beside the point, the fact of the matter is he said it anyway, and that reflects his mental state. Sodachi showed that he still issues from an incident much, much smaller than Kizu and you think that he just swept Kizu under the rug?

Araragi's already been cheating on Hitagi since Nise. Shinobu showed up immediately after Hitagi told him he can't cheat specifically for that reason, and he picked Shinobu anyway. Hitagi's probably accepted that too at this point.

>I guess I need to reread Kabuki
I definitely suggest you do. Literally the entire point of Kabuki as an arc is reflection on the past, and here you are claiming the kiss had nothing to do with the past.

Is it cheating in this case? This is just a feeling but I always felt as if it was the other way around. After reading Kizu I felt as if Araragi made a mistake when he got together with Senjougahara. Don't get me wrong I do like her, but this is how it felt to me.

>>143250490
Araragi had no reason to hide the truth from Yotsugi there. If he had no reason to hide the truth, he's either conflicted or in denial. Him being conflicted or in denial still supports my point.

Also Araragi has had a ton of development since Kabuki, specifically in regards to his relationship. He's going to have a much less favorable view of the spring break in Kabuki compared to Owari.

>>143250666
It's definitely cheating that Hitagi's demand for an emotionally-monogamous relationship was never met. People have been calling him out on that since Nise. Shinobu showing up at the timing she did with the prime intention of telling him he can kill her for a normal life was not coincidental.

As for getting with Hitagi, she has plays an important supportive role for him, but has always been on the backburner compared to Shinobu. The imbalance in how he treats them is one of the main conflicts in the series, it's hard to say where Nisio is going with it.

>>143250671
He can be conflicted or denial for reasons other than the events of Kizu. I gave you two. Despite how much his faithfulness to Crab has wavered, he's still a massive moralfag that absolutely hates the idea of cheating and falling in love with Shinobu is his biggest transgression by far. He's also probably scared of doing something drastic and fucking up their relationship to Bake-levels again. Then there's his weird inferiority complex that prevented him from being proactive/honest with Hanekawa as well.

>>143250835
Nisio got them into a shaky balance and called the end, except for side stories. He himself might not know where to go with it.

You've yet to give any reason that explains why he would try to kiss Shinobu in Kabuki.

>>143251115
Because he started falling in love with her after they made up during Nise because she started being an awesome partner then.

>>143235265
Bathing isn't lewd to begin with, which makes it funny to me when (presumably) British/American watchers make a big deal out of the scene where Koyomi bathes with Tsukihi. I mean sure, it's presented in a very fanservice-y way but the act itself of bathing with your sister doesn't sound weird to me at all.

>>143251159
What does that have to do with Kabuki?

>>143251186
Araragi wasn't helping when he tried to kiss her.

>>143250835
>Shinobu showing up at the timing she did with the prime intention of telling him he can kill her for a normal life was not coincidental.
To be honest I have been thinking about this, but it also confuses me. Remember that in route X, Kiss-shot said that she ran away because of mere jealousy. When Araragi died she felt as if she lost half of herself. She destroyed the world because he died, that is how important Araragi was to her, he meant so much to her that she went with that childish thing she said about destroying the world if Araragi didn't find her.

So Araragi gets a girlfriend, which he is apparently serieus about. So shinobu comes and tells him to kill her, Araragi refuses of course. I always thought she ran away sinply yes, bacause she was jealous of the attention Araragi was giving the other girls instead of her. but then she comes back in nise and asks him to kill her in order to go back being a human. But then the whoke running away thing doesn't make sense to me.

>>143251216
Because Kabuki happened after Nise. So by Kabuki he would have had time to be in love with her and want to kiss her, especially since she was joking about it earlier. The timing of him talking about Kizu is a little suspect, but he was talking about similarities between the situation in Kizu and Kabuki and I took it as similar because they were alone together rather than similar because he held the same feelings towards her, because even then their relationship had massively changed since Kizu.

>>143245861
Dolores is a spanish name. It translates into pains.

>>143251318
I don't think she was furious with him or anything, was she? Running away seemed more like one of her whims, it's just that Araragi getting killed unintentionally caused the situation to escalate out of control. Add in the positive resolution in Bake and the time passed to Nise, and it's no surprise she's mellowed out a bit.

Also Shinobu was prepared to go with his choice either way, but she was clearly pleased that he'd picked her in the end.

>>143251561
Pay more attention to thought patterns in writing. Araragi isn't thinking about being alone with Shinobu when he asks to kiss.

>>143251318
Here's my interpretations of Shinobu's view of early events:

The first way Shinobu saw Araragi was as her solitary ray of hope after nearly six centuries of suffering. So she clung to him, even though she was pissed at him because she had nothing else she could do. But Araragi wasn't treating her as anyone particularly special, so she was uncertain and afraid. Then she ran away because she was depressed and desperate and felt like it might get her some answers.

In Route X, Araragi died and she could feel her connection with him get severed which was traumatic because it had been bolstering her through that time of uncertainty (she feels the same thing in the main route when Gaen kills Araragi) so there went her sole source of comfort because of her own actions and she went ballistic.

In the main route Shinobu got front row seats to Araragi putting Hanekawa's issues on hold and prioritize looking for her, which was just the indication she wanted. So she was content and saved Araragi from an untimely demise.

Flash forward to the bath scene in Nise and Shinobu is ready to make up and more firmly grasp her ray of hope. Asking Araragi to kill her was her way of confirming if he was serious about staying with her. If having to watch time leave him behind is too much, then she can die, ender her suffering, and undo the damage to Araragi that she still feels guilty about. If he decides to stand by her regardless then she can seriously try to have a happy life for once. She was fine with either answer.

Then they made up and Shinobu got a positive, meaningful relationship for the first time ever and she became happier than she dared to even hope for.

Shinobu could make anyone lolicon.

>Hitagi's demand for an emotionally-monogamous relationship
>gets Kanbaru to flirt with the guy and to report everything back to her
>a complete absence of flirting from Araragi's side, gets butthurt anyway over Kanbaru and Araragi simply becoming friends
Not that Araragi doesn't have problems (he absolutely and undeniably does)
but Gahara has some weird issues of her own frankly

>>143254528
Crab should just go back to her conman and let the Bat have her way.

>>143254528
I think the deal is that Gahara didn't expect the two get along as well as they ended up doing, to be fair. Koyomi basically ended up becoming Kanbaru's Hanekawa-type figure.

Can you blame him? Look at that fluffy hair and that everything else Shinobu has.

>>143261312
Foofing the fluff is fine but he's doing it wrong you keep that reaction inside and play it cool.

>mfw Acerola Bon Appétit is being translated now

>>143226087
I'm glad the koyomi app gave us that line
"Precisely 598 years old an 11 months."

Acerola Bon Appétit - http://mirroredtranslations.tumblr.com/post/146418717087/wazamonogatari-acerola-bon-app%C3%A9tit-chapter-1

>>143262963
I forgot the 11 months part. So by the time Araragi graduates she's 599.

Which translation is it that uses "I'm not good at making friends" and which translation is it that uses "Making friends decreases your worth as a human being?" Official or fan? Or are those both just different fan translations?

Which one is more accurate?

>>143252756
Crab is only shit because you think she's "mean".

That's the only reason people hate Crab, because they're pussies.

Her bluntness and humor is just twisted and it's actually quite endearing. I would be very happy with a woman like Crab, but then again I'm a real man and not a virgin.

>>143263282
hope araragi rapes deathtopia into oblivion

>>143263984
>Crab is only shit because you think she's "mean".
I don't think she's particularly mean and I still don't like her that much though. All she ever does is state the obvious and take advantage of Kanbaru in some nutty game of ensuring that Koyomi doesn't leave her. Araragi pretty much has to kill his core personality off just to hang around her as far as we can tell too.

>>143264082
I hope Deathtopia makes Araragi pull his head out of his ass as far as Shinobu is concerned.

>>143264750
>>143264082
knowing how this series is, she'll probably just end wanting some of what Shinobu has going on and forcibly start sharing Araragi with her
Nisio's probably never going to fully conclude this one part of the story

>japanese vampire.
It is actually a plotpoint that there was no native Japanese vampires, when Heart Under Blade first arrived in Japan. It is exactly because the locals didn't know what she was, that they didn't realise they were suppose to fear her.

>>143263485
>Having friends decreases your intensity as a human.

That line is the official one. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a finicky sentence to translate since as Araragi mentions "The more friends you have, the more weaknesses you have." since by his reasoning, you get hurt when your friends get hurt and you'll always "end up at a net loss"

>>143266442
He's never going to resolve this, he's just going to leave it like this, which actually bothers me so much.

Pixiv. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't get uploaded to other sites. Especially these sorts of sketches. You have to wade through a lot of garbage, but sometimes it pays off.

will there be another season soon? I want to see more of her animated

>>143277507
Kizu is happening. Next season is probably in 2017.

They would still be the envy of /a/.

Does Shinobu chan speak german?

>>143278831
Who knows. If we go by the idea that she became fluent in Japanese in a year or two, then she can probably speak most major languages. If we take that as a plot convenience rather than an indication of some supernatural language learning skill, then there's still a chance she spent a lot of time in Germany or originated there.

Literally the biggest reason I can't watch Raildex.
She's disgusting.

>>143279096
She speaks Japanese, but it's a very old dialect (or at least uses some old/outdated words). Considering she's been around Japan for a long time, it's curious as to why she speaks the way she does.

>>143279350
It sets her apart.

>>143279350
It's probably part of being an ancient vampire. She learned Japanese hundreds of years ago, and doesn't care enough to keep with the times. It's like how she doesn't keep track of the names of most characters.

>>143279129
Kuroko is on the border of being too skinny, but just on the right side of it.

>>143279350
It's cause the last time she visited Japan was a few hundred years ago, hence why she talks like she's from a Samurai drama. She only recently returned to the country.

>>143279350
But her original name, Lola comes from Spain, either way she's 600 years old she can know a lot of things
