Why did Araragi choose Senjougahara over Hanekawa? What is it about crab that made him choose her over cat?
>>
Senjougahara asked first.
>>
>>161839559
Araragi is definitely the kind of guy to do that purely over something like this and no other reason. There are probably other ones, but he wouldn't need them
>>
Better question is why even bother with anyone else when you have Bat?
>>
>>161839559
/thread
hanekawa is a perfect example of what happens if you're not straight forward
>>
Because Hanekawa is a creep who makes other people feel shameful by putting on a mask of perfection.

Senjougahara is the most willful of the heroines. Rather than Araragi choosing her, I'd say she basically nabbed him before the others could.

Cat will always be there as an emergency option. Crab is gone the second Kaiki calls and asks her to get over.

because he put Hanekawa on too high a pedestal and visa versa for the relationship to work.
he needs someone as petty, capricious, and selfish as himself to have a balanced relationship
>>
>>161839513
crab is a better poster and does not require much effort to maintain. all you have to do is say you love her and she will stick with you forever. mean while, he is playing house with his one and only treasure under everybody's noses. cat would never agree to that. she want a serious, monogamous relationship with him. even if rrrg wants to choose her, he could not fulfill her demand. i.e. to drop everybody else and stick only to me.

She "didn't" have the guts. She did did gain them and confess, but he was already dating crab.

The ironic thing is that Gahara might argue with you over that, besides, you even see her with her hair down without glasses? Supermodel tier.

Did you not see how she said she was trying imitate Hanekawa's style on her date with Araragi in Hitagi Rendezvous? Coupled with the fact that SHE loves Cat too.

>>161839644

Didn't Araragi basically admit he was being a betamax in that commentary for Tsubasa Cat when Hanekawa grilled him on if he noticed her feelings? She pretty much cut him to the quick and this was proven to be actually false.

In fact, she actually took measures to spend more time with him before Gahara came along, they took that part out of the anime. Sure, she took the slower approach, but it wasn't all her fault either.

Quiet down there Oshino, even you admitted that thought was BS and her parents were actually scum who felt bad because they were actually bad people when Araragi pressured you on that.. You just mad Gaen-senpai dommed you in college and started having flashbacks when you met class rep-chan.

In the future, she might set up kaiki and crab again like she did in hitagi end. She said it herself. she left town so that crab have not choice but to call kaiki. Cat is really up to something. She definitely knows about the thing between kaiki and crab. She did it anyway even though she knows that rrrg will be furious if he learns about it (or was it her plan from the start). Evil indeed!

Araragi rejected his love for Cat forever before he even met Senjougahara. Less than choosing Crab over Cat, it's more like his feelings for Cat are too complicated and hardcore for him to accept, him being the kind of beta that he is he doesn't really have the balls to admit to himself that he loves Hanekawa because of all those reasons Nisio gave us in Neko Kuro. If one wants to understand why Araragi isn't dating Hanekawa, you need to understand Neko Kuro. Easier said than done, though. He grants himself some indulgences now and again like sniffing the panties and hair he keeps stashed in his room, but otherwise it's straight-up denial.

Because Hitagi forced herself on him, at the end of Bake I thought that might not be case and they actually loved each other deeply, but as the series went on It became more and more clear that Araragi is a very easy guy, who would date any girl who asked him first and he doesn't even love Hitagi that much, or at least doesn't show it. This sucks because it makes seem like their relationship is purely for convenience sake.
>>
>>161841088
No it's not, Gahara even fucking said she pretended to like Kaiki but /a/mouthbreathers are too retarded to understand that and so they keep perpetuating the lie that's CrabxCon.

Senjougahara breaks up a couple times with RRG and vice versa, but in the chronologically latest chapter she comes back to Japan to get together with RRG again and they live happily ever after unless a new chapter says otherwise.

If you mean degenerate child raping homosexual, then only if your sex is female.

I also want to add that being attracted to cat form is the best of both worlds because he can be a bro but you can still fuck because Tsubasas body is still 100% female. So have at it .

>>161842333
>Gahara even fucking said she pretended to like Kaiki
Because she is lying. To herself even. Don't you get the whole "this girl pretends every relationship is her first and she is 100% into it"
I don't think CrabxCon will ever happen even if she isn't with Araragi though. Mostly because Kaiki will never start it and Kaiki knows he isn't good for her. Similar to how Araragi isn't good to be around Nadeko.
>>
Because megane girls are always shit.
>>
>>161842385
I actually wish that she liked Kaiki, as he is a much better than Shitragi, but Hitagi end made clear she was just pretending. Maybe she has sympathy for him, but it isn't anything close to love.

God regular Tsubasa sucks so much.

Do you think in the show when they all become old enough (18+) they will have sexual relations?

This. The end of Hitagi's arc on Bake was the peak of Monogatari, the series will never have a scene so beautiful again

Araragi and Crab had plenty of sex.
Cat clearly fucked lots of men during travels and both his sisters had boyfriends and will clearly get laid in college. Monkey ironically despite how lewd she is will probably be the last one.

Remember, according to the transitive property Senjougahara is the biggest pervert in the series.

The problem is that you are thinking of the normal age a girl would lose her virginity in the west. In Japan it's not uncommon for girls to stay virgins until as late as their mid 20's, plus they are anime girls, so it's even more likely they will stay virgins for longer.

This thread made me rewatch the scene again and fuck me it reminded me why I loved the series in the first place. The quiet atmoshpere, the characters, the ost. It's a story about a girl who needs help and a boy who helps everyone. This scene is the culmination of a teenage love that tugs at heart because of how simple it is. No trip overseas, no expensive gifts, just a picnic under the star with profound dialogue. It made me angry at the same time since they shit on this beautiful relationship for waifubaits, I dropped it halfway on Mathgirl arc. I'm not sure I should pick it back up again but at least this scene stays with me.

They're both depraved perverts, so they can at least bond over that.

Even if Hanekawa asked first he'd say no. He says this over and over again, he thinks Hanekawa deserves someone better than him. Or rather that he doesn't see himself as worthy of her, however you want to put it.

>>161842466
>as he is a much better than Shitragi
Aside from those one note vampire hunter guys Kaiki's worst boy in the series. Biggest manchild in the series who acts more like a dumb teenager than most of the actual dumb teenagers that make up the cast, he's a literal cuck, and every specialist introduced in the series is better than him too so he doesn't even have that distinction going for him either. I have no idea why it's always this sort of character /a/ is attracted to.

>>161843293
>I have no idea why it's always this sort of character /a/ is attracted to.
In this case they just like cuckolding. That's it.
>>
>>161843053
>Not if they are this attractive
I don't think would understand just how many virgins Japan has:
>According to the Japan Times, a new survey of Japanese people ages 18 to 34 found that 70 percent of unmarried men and 60 percent of unmarried women are not in a relationship. It gets worse: Around 42 percent of men and 44.2 percent of women admitted that they were virgins

>sisters have boyfriends
Yes, but they are what, 14 years old? I doubt they would lose their virginity at that age, especially that again, they are anime girls on top of all.
As for Hanekawa, it may happen, or it may not. I deny the possibility until the show at least imply something.

Be consistent and write off everything else Araragi does and being just a joke atleast. The only part of this series with more explicit scenes of the sort you guys complain about was Nise, that's it.

Alternatively drop the double standards and watch or read something else entirely instead of complaining about the series not being something it never was.
>>
>>161843348
False equivalence. The perv stuff that RRG did with other girls on Bake was far less extreme than later on in the series, it's not even comparable imo. Not to mention that his relationship with Hitagi wasn't established yet at that point
>>
>>161843427
>>161843468
It became not a joke after Bake to sell waifu shits. During Bake, Araragi only teases Hachikuji because he's a big brother, he deals with little girls like he deals with his sisters. Of course there are people who like girls like Hachikuji (read: pedo) so they need to keep it up a notch and it became disgusting.
>>
>>161843468
He literally kisses Shinobu at Monogatari second season.
>instead of complaining about the series not being something it never was.
Don't give Araragi a girlfriend then? It's painfully obvious that Isin did that just to justify Araragi not fucking every girl he meets.
>>

>It became not a joke after Bake to sell waifu shits
With whom? Name one girl he is after seriously other than Crab and in a more meaningful way Bat.

Its fine to fuck children when they are 10 to 12 but generally they don't form their own relationships until 20 or so.

Bakemonogatari was about a nihilistic guy with a wicked sense of humor deciding who he liked the best out of all the girls he knew.

The rest of Monogatari is about a slightly less nihilistic guy with a slightly more wicked sense of humor deciding which of the girls he liked the best he liked more, but he's taking a really long time to break it to the other one that he wants to finish it.
>>
>>161843583
he became more perverted in his interaction with them. I can list examples like toothbrush scene, twister scene, Monkey undressing, etc but you get the picture. Serious in here is not in he wants to be their boyfriend but acts like he's not even in a relationship at all. This is done so the other girls has scenes that waifufags can fap/admire/see in order to sell merchandise and keep up the show's popularity.

None of that is ever serious. Its played for jokes entirely.

Just Nise. Bake's the only season where they had to outright censor scenes for TV release despite it being the least fanservice-y part of the franchise according to you speedwatchers.

>Not to mention that his relationship with Hitagi wasn't established yet at that point
It was established after Mayoi Snail, so yes it was established already. Nevermind the things he says to Kanbaru in Nadeko Snake that Shaft cut out.

Be consistent and say all the shit Araragi does "doesn't count" if you're going to deny shit that hurts your fragile feelings, most of the time it's not initiated by himself anyway.

>>161843568
>Don't give Araragi a girlfriend then?
It's been clear from the beginning that it's just a story about these chick's problems with Araragi being the observer/narrator. His lovelife just frames the rest of the story and nothing else, you guys pretend it's at the forefront of the story and it's all that you talk about because you're all a bunch of lonely middle aged women at heart evidently that reinterpret everything to suit what you want.
>>
>>161843680
EVERYTHING is exaggerated for fucks sake. Do you also think the shit happening in the scenery is exactly what is happening. He is not being punched into the stratosphere by hachikuji. He is just teasing her a little.
>>
>>161843710
Not him but that is what his character is. He's early timeline Araragi if he never grew up and never stopped running away from everything. Kaiki's entire backstory is that he's moping about a chick who didn't return his feelings several decades ago. Says he has some sort of duty to look out for Kanbaru but does nothing for her all series because he ran away from that too. The only actually positive thing he does all series is give advice to the other character in this series who was as self-deluded as he is.

Not hating on the character here, Kaikifags get spergy whenever you say something bad about him for some reason but all the endless praise he gets from people here is sort of missing the point of his character I feel.

Wow, guys, are you retarded? Of course he chasing other girls, it's a fucking HAREM show. God.

>>161843723
At Snail arc the only thing that happened was that Hitagi asked to be his girlfriend and he accepted, but their arc wasn't finished yet. He literally was dating Hitagi for about a day at that point and it happened in a very abrupt way. You would think that after an emotional scene like the end of Hitagi's arc things would change a little, or at least the show gives the impression that gives now became more serious, when it happened quite the contrary because the harem must go on.

I like how you ignored what I said about Shinobu. He blatantly flirts with Ononoki and Shinobu, going as far as kissing her in Monogatari second season, he also kisses Snail in the same season. What he did with Snail in Bake can easily be written off as a joke because the tone of the scene and the things that happened on it, same isn't true for the scenes I mentioned.

>It's been clear from the beginning that it's just a story about these chick's problems with Araragi being the observer/narrator.
Okay, so? You realize that you can interact with girls and solve their problems without groping, kissing and flirting with them right? Another thing that make what I said obvious is how irrelevant Crab became as the series went on, their relationship is there just as an excuse for him to not get serious with the other girls at this point. It was always like that always
>>
>>161843701
>>161843764
there are limits on when something is a running joke or something else entirely, it's fine if you like harem show and love the development of this series but just don't change tone of the show as you present it from the beginning. Like what >>161843568 said, if you want him to be a pervy harem chad then don't do this in the first place. It cheapens moments like this >>161843191
and gave secondaryfags like me who enters this series blind and stars to love it from the premise. I actually thought the stories would progress in the manner that RRG can't help but saves all the girls and got their affections except it played more seriously with him not wanting to hurt Crab's feelings by accepting them or that they might face relationship drama regarding him actually not seeing Crab as special after all. As the show progress the respect I had for RRG started to dwindle with this so called "joke" scenes that I felt like I;m not watching the same show I watched at the beginning. Now instead of ghost shows in a rural town area with the heroic MC I'm watching pervy comedic guy with occasional spooky stuff thrown in.

Parts of the fanbase have a weird complex about it and insist that it's not a harem show while pretending that all the harem parts of the story don't happen.
>>
>>161844004
>going as far as kissing her in Monogatari second season, he also kisses Snail in the same season
Not that anon but they kissed him to be fair.
>>
>>161844005
>but just don't change tone of the show as you present it from the beginning.
That is not a real rule. That is just your own opinion. Personally I love the range of tone this goes through.

Again what you accuse people here I can just throw right back at you. You had a different idea of what you wanted to see. But nothing pointed towards what you wanted unless you are retarded.
>>
>>161844004
>their relationship is there just as an excuse for him to not get serious with the other girls at this point.
was that intentional in-universe? I got the impressin part of why he was so ready to commit to her was so that he would have a motivation not to take things too far with every girl he knows, but would like other people's takes
>>
>>161844012
Both cat and snake storyline wouldn't happen in a normal harem. Especially Snake is the opposite of how it works out in harem shows.

I still think it qualifies as a harem show but your connotations are wrong.
>>
>>161843978
It is a harem show that the MC has a girlfriend, only difference is that. I'm just saying that It killed the emotional aspect of the relationship between Hitagi and Araragi for the sake of keeping the series alive.
>>
>>161844071
>But nothing pointed towards what you wanted unless you are retarded.

>First season, first arc, first problem, first resolution
>I'm wrong to assume the show would be like what I saw at the premise of the show
So I guess if I saw a show about fantasy gore killing devils on the first season It's wrong when I get mad that it became CGDCT at the second season?

He didn't resist did he? If some guy kissed your girlfriend and she accepted, wouldn't you see it as cheating?
Also, you are right as far as Snail and Ononoki goes, but he kissed Shinobu.
>>
>>161844194
>>>First season, first arc, first problem, first resolution
Was about what? Fighting monsters or fucking emotional metaphors? Hanekawa was right there from the beginning. So was Shinobu. And it was clear right from the beginning Araragi had more complicated relationships with them.
It might be a few years for you and maybe you were to young but I implore you to rewatch it now that you are older and maybe look at what it was about right from the start.
>>
>>161844271
>Was about what? Fighting monsters or fucking emotional metaphors? Hanekawa was right there from the beginning. So was Shinobu. And it was clear right from the beginning Araragi had more complicated relationships with them.
and in spite of that he chose Senjougahara. I did watch it, and I why do you think I thought the Altair scene was touching as hell? It's because despite what he knows, his relationship, the girls around him, he CHOSE her. Not Cat, not Bat, but Crab. That's why I was hoping the tone of the show would stay the same, to explain why he did that. Why would a girl who he just helped out of the blue be more important then the girls he had more complex relationship with. This is the drama I want to see and explained, but I guess funny molesting harem guy is more important.
>>
Why did OP choose his wife (and her son) over his sister? What is it about wale that made him choose her over qt3.1415?

He is a fag.
>>
>>161844004
>was that Hitagi asked to be his girlfriend and he accepted, but their arc wasn't finished yet
Right, so more "it doesn't count because it hurts my fee-fees!" stuff.

>I like how you ignored what I said about Shinobu.
What did you say about Shinobu that I ignored? That he kissed her in Second Season? As much as Shaft played it down it established that he and Shinobu had some sort of intimate bond already even back in Bake. I've been saying over and over again that it was never "just a romance" story between Araragi and Gahara at any point, as much as you guys want it to be. On top of him being flirty with Hachikuji and Kanbaru, which doesn't count either because "it's just comedy bro" or whatever.

>Another thing that make what I said obvious is how irrelevant Crab became as the series went on
His lovelife just frames the rest of the story and nothing else, you guys pretend it's at the forefront of the story and it's all that you talk about because you're all a bunch of lonely middle aged women at heart evidently that reinterpret everything to suit what you want.
>>
All that we are implying is that it cheapens the emotional moments in the series. Araragi has fun with some the girls on Bake, but it is:
-Muss less extreme
-In a less serious tone
-On a time where Hitagi was still relevant
-On a time where the conclusion of their arc didn't happened yet
Also, and this is important, Bake was the first in the series, the fact that he choose Hitagi and denied the other girls despite being a pervert makes you think that it will be different from your average harem, only to find out later on that Hitagi just exists as a plot point.
>>
>>161844378
>and in spite of that he chose Senjougahara.
Yeah she is his girlfriend? So? I don't know if you have ever been in any relationship but it does not necessitate to have no other friends and have no other feelings for other people.
>That's why I was hoping the tone of the show would stay the same, to explain why he did that
What do you want to have explained? Emotions BY FUCKING DEFINITION can't be explained. He himself just says he loves her. Every relationship is different to every girl. And none of them lessen the others.
>>
>>161844378
>because despite what he knows, his relationship, the girls around him, he CHOSE her. Not Cat, not Bat, but Crab
Not a Batfag but all the conflicts in that story literally resolve when he opens up to and accepts Bat. Watch the entire series instead of cherrypicking one episode.
>>
>>161839606
Araragi isn't the type of guy to do anything. He's a cartoon with a plastic personality who exists so people can self-insert into a universe full of hot girls. There's no use arguing about why he did this or didn't do that, because it won't make any fucking sense. Just watch the series for the girls and shut up.
>>
>>161844455
>All that we are implying is that it cheapens the emotional moments in the series
exactly. Now I don't care who or what RRG does because at the end he would just cheapen it. You can make the girl cry, have emotional moment, big love gesture, but the next episode he would just molest the ghost Snail all over again.
>>
>>161844506
>Yeah she is his girlfriend? So? I don't know if you have ever been in any relationship but it does not necessitate to have no other friends and have no other feelings for other people.
I know that. I know people cheat, lie, move on, etc etc and that was the point I was trying to make in the first place. It cheapens what happened between them, it reduces Araragi from heroic MC to your average cheating dude.
>>
>>161844455
>-In a less serious tone
>Bake is less serious than Nise
You retarded or something?
>>
>>161844596
>it reduces Araragi from heroic MC to your average cheating dude.
I don't get it. Do you want it be less serious or more serious?
>>
>>161844455
Hitagi's just a plot point in Bake too, why do you look at this one season with such rose-tinted glasses? (is it Shinbo & Oishi's shitty slideshow visuals lifted out of earlier Shaft works?) Any character could've filled her role as "chick who Araragi is dating" and it would've been largely the same (except for Kanbaru getting involved), all her role in Bake was is to serve as the trigger for a bunch of other characters getting pissy.

It's not a romance shoujo, Araragi's relationships with Hitagi (And Shinobu) just sets up the rest of the story and that's it. Applies to Bake just as much as it does the rest of the franchise.
>>
>>161844644
>Hitagi's just a plot point in Bake too, why do you look at this one season with such rose-tinted glasses?
because it's the gateway to the series? because it's our first look at the characters and therefore the foundation in getting to know them? I don't know why you're confused on this point.
>>
>>161844724
You're the one complaining about the series not revolving around Gahara when she was always just a plot device to set other plot events in motion and nothing else, not me. From beginning to end of Bake Araragi's had more fleshed out relationships with other characters than he did with his own girlfriend, Gahara very literally just exists to fill the role of "the girlfriend" and that's it. Rest of the series doesn't need to exist in order to reach this same conclusion.
>>
>>161844396
>Right, so more "it doesn't count because it hurts my fee-fees!" stuff.
If you want to ignore sound arguments and common sense because it suits your point of view, sure.

>As much as Shaft played it down it established that he and Shinobu had some sort of intimate bond already even back in Bake
And I'm the one trying to twist reality to suit my views, sure.
It's established that he has a strong bound with her, but never ever implied they had any romantic relationship or that he had feelings for her at all. It could be something like mother and son, sister and brother, friends, anything. That's what I am constantly saying and you choose to ignore it every time, Araragi does perv stuff with other girls on Bake, but never it's implied that any of them are competition to Hitagi at all, save for Hanekawa, which Araragi denies It at the end, further enforcing his feelings for Gahara.
Later on in the series that changes, things become more serious with other girls and it starts to look like they actually are competition or that something more serious is going on. You can can't twist reality to say that the small stuff he does in Bake is anything close to Nise, Gatari second season and so on.
>On top of him being flirty with Hachikuji and Kanbaru
Sure, let's compare the playful things he does with the two with kissing serious kissing scenes and his play with the other girls getting more and more serious as the series go on.

>lonely middle aged women
And you sound like a lonely haremfag who uses false equivalence and twist reality to make It seem like what they did wasn't because it's better from an economical perspective, but because ''the series was always like that''.
It's like saying that Naruto and Elfen Lied are both violent series because violence happens in both of them. It's retarded and a false equivalence.
>>
>>161844853
>You're the one complaining about the series not revolving around Gahara when she was always just a plot device to set other plot events in motion and nothing else
I'm complaining how the show cheapens the scene by doing so but you guys keep insisting it doesn't. You insist it's fine that Araragi became lewd comedy guy and that it doesn't cheapen his relationship. It's fine that this is a harem show, it's fine that he doesn't care about his gf, it's fine that he does pervy stuff for joke, but don't say it doesn't cheapen the Bake season. Call me rose-tinted. nostalgiafag all you want but it's true that they treat season 1 like shit.

Nisio prefers the wacky relationships like the sort the MC has with Cat or Monkey, that's why. I have no idea why Monogatari threads are filled with rampant Crabfaggotry vs Batfaggotry because even in Bakemonogatari Nisio focused more on Koyomi's bonds, positive or negative, with the other girls while his undoubtedly romantic (but considerably less fleshed out, less interesting, and frankly featuring less of the fun banter that defines this series) relationships with Crab and Bat are on the backburner most of the time. I get that Shaft pretty heavily cut out certain parts of the story and stretched out other parts but that much is still evident in the anime, Shaft couldn't do a thing to prevent Crab coming off as the most simplistic and the least interesting character in the series because that's just how she is by design. Koyomi's character and story doesn't center around her, she's just an actor in his story.

Most of Nisio's other superior works are like that as well, closest to a conventional romance he has is Okitegami Kyouko.
>>
>>161844644
I'm not looking at it with rose tinted glasses, it isn't my favorite season, it just has my favorite moment and ED. I'm just stating the fact that there's enough reasons for people to believe that the romantic scene between RRG and Gahara lost its impact because of later seasons.
>>161844853
There's a big difference between ''revolving around Gahara'' and not ignoring her completely. It's impossible for the series to revolve around her anyway, her arc is over, but the point was the she is forgotten to the point that you even forget Araragi has a gf at all.
>>
>>161844960
>I'm complaining how the show cheapens the scene by doing so
It really doesn't. Right from the start it was implied that there are SEVERAL stories to tell and that Crab is just one of them. Nothing he has done cheapens their relationship. Neither does the whole KaikixCrab thing.
>>
>>161844960
The scene stands alone on its own merits. It is a beautiful, emotional scene, the best in the entire series. However, that doesn't mean that the series should be beholden to it. I think your problem is that you want Araragi to simply be someone he's not. You want him to be this guy who is entirely devoted to Crab, and Crab only. That's just not who he is.

That scene shows us how much he cares for Crab in that moment, but it doesn't fundamentally change him as a person. He still has a complex web of relationships with a diverse cast of characters. Despite his feelings for Hitagi, he's still a lecherous pervert, he still has complex feelings for Hanekawa, he still has a really deep and complicated relationship with Shinobu, and he's still got a strange, incestuous relationship with his sisters.

Araragi is an all around weird guy, who has to juggle all of these relationships simultaneously, while doing his best to do right by all these people even when it is all but impossible. If you don't like that, then that is your problem, not the series.

Kind of? Post-Owari she seems to have her own existence since it's what Araragi & Meme wills it to be though I've seen people mention that Suruga Bonehead sheds some more light on Ougi's existence and it implies that he/she/whatever still has some sort of connection to Araragi so I dunno.

Well essentially during a threesome you want the girls to also make out with each other. And as close as the fire sisters are they would be more awkward. While Monkey would love to fuck crab.
But generally I like the fire sisters more. Especially Bee.

To my understanding even after Araragi "sets her free" she pretty much just becomes into a ghost who haunts the school and occasionally cheers Kanbaru up when she's missing Araragi. I'm not quite sure how far this "she's a seperate existence now" thing runs because she still seems to only show up in matters tangentially related to Araragi himself.

>What about Nadeko?
She had her way with Kaiki.
(For those who are dreaming about NadekoXKaiki. If there are any. Here is some for you.)
Part 1
>Nadeko was having a hard time continuing her manga. She had exhausted all her resources and then finally she remembered Kaiki. She thought that maybe he could help her. After some time she finally got an opportunity to get in touch with him. This is after she learned that Kanbaru met with Kaiki. After bugging Kanbaru for some time, she finally got his number. Nadeko immediately called him and said that she would like to thank him and asked if he would not mind helping her out with her latest manga. Kaiki was hesitant because he does not really like manga and just mentioned it to her while she was still a god as a necessity. Nadeko said that she does not have anyone left to turn too. Tsukihi helped her a bit but was not able to help her but it was not enough. Kaiki agreed to her out of responsibility because he was the one who told her that she could become a good mangaka soon.
>Kaiki went to her house and the parents gladly welcomed him because Nadeko told them about him. She said that he was the one that helped her to come back when she was lost for days. After some chat with her parents, Kaiki and Nadeko went to her room to start business. After both of them got in the room, Nadeko locked her room and then she stabbed Kaiki at the back with a syringe and he started to feel dizzy.
>When he woke up, he was already on her bed and tied hand and foot with a sock in his mouth. He is semi-paralyzed. It must be the effect of the drug. Although he is conscious, he could not freely move.

>"Sorry I have to do this. I'm not really sure how I would be able to make you do what I want so I thought that if you became immobile, we could do it without a problem. You see, I was having trouble continuing my manga probably because I have no experience yet. I can't believe Tsukihi is still a D.T. even if she kept on bragging about her boyfriend. I'll try to make you feel really good so please don't be mad. Itadakimasu!"
>Kaiki said in his mind.
>“What does having sexual experience have to do in writing manga? Is she planning to write that kind of stuff I’m finding hard to even say?”
>Kaiki could not really do anything because of the drug. Nadeko had her way with Kaiki but it seemed that Kaiki had not done it with a woman for a very long time so he could not resist the urge. Because of that he hopelessly fell under the palm of Nadeko. She really knew what she is doing because she did her research but it was not enough. She had to have hands on training to actually make progress.
>After they are finish, Nadeko said to Kaiki not to do anything rash and act like nothing happened. That is what he is good at anyway. Kaiki was lost in words but as a man he decided to act responsibly. But then, Hitagi pop out of his mind. He felt really guilty about it but what is done is done. Nadeko then thanked him and said not to think about what happened too much and she wants to remain friends with him. She said that she could probably write something better now after the experience she had with him. Kaiki agreed to it but on the back of his mind he was thinking that he created a monster. Nadeko gave him a sweet kiss on his lips which was stuffed with sock the whole time. After that, he left her house.

People who are waiting for Araragi to "choose" between Bat and Crab don't get how Nisio writes relationships. Hell, in Zaregoto, he had the protagonist genuinely ask out a girl in one scene while he was in love with another girl who he asked to marry him like a week later. He probably doesn't see relationships that encompass different "aspects" of the characters' lives as being in conflict.

>>161839513

re: Senjougahara - Hitagi faces her problems face on. Directly and courageously. This is something ARARAGI doesn't do. He doesn't like acknowledging the real problem. He'd rather gloss over them. Ignore them or look for solutions where "everyone" is happy. This nearly resulted in the death of everyone he cared about in the Hitagi End and Nadeko Medusa arc, and did indirectly lead to Sodachi family hell and mental breakdown. He's too much of an EMOTIONAL coward, and it's because he's an emotional coward that he hates himself to the point of suicide. Hitagi has an inner strength of character araragi wishes he had (being a fan of justice like he is).

re: Hanekawa - Hanekawa is an emotional COWARD, just like Araragi. In fact she's just as unwilling to address important issues as he is, and while she lacks his sense of justice, she's just as suicidal. While Araragi ignores the truth when it's inconvenient, Hanakawa ignores her own feeling whenever it's inconvenient. As a result she blames herself for her life being shit. Ultimately there is NOTHING about Hanakawa's personality that Araragi admires. Sure, he admires her intelligence, and he's indebted to her helping him (though her help was mostly out of some twilight tier fantasy or cinderella tier dream she'd escape her crappy home life somehow); he wants to fuck her and play with her boobs. But as a person she's just as lacking as he is. And while they have similar personality hang ups, to the point most people think they'd make a good couple, her personality basically turns him off (as he discovered in Nekomonogatari)

re: Shinobu - he's keeping her as a pet. There is/was an endless grudge/injury between the two which will never be fully reconciled. Yes they became good friends, may even love each other in a twisted way (helped in part by Shinobou's desire to die being changed to finding her life interesting as a shadow). Ultimately this isn't a romance.

Absolutely not, that was him failing to connect the dots of her living situation out of a combination of it being so foreign to himself + Sodachi staying completely silent about everything despite any attempts of his to talk to her. The denial came after the fact and as a result of him failing to realize her situation in time, it didn't "cause" her problems at all.

Also Araragi (and later other characters in Owari) outright state that he just feels like he's undeservedly taking advantage of Senjougahara falling for him the way he does. Dial down the headcanon a couple notches (and maybe acknowledge the fact that Araragi overpraises her and dismisses her inability to criticize anything and how she constantly encourages his own suicidal idiocy, though as of Second Season onwards people are too afraid to criticize any female character not called Nadeko I've noticed)

you didn't bother to read between the lines, that whole arc araragi KNEW ALL ALONG what happened to Sodachi. He knew about her mother. He knew about the abuse. He knew the teacher cheated, then let Sodachi take the blame. He even knew she wanted him to tell his parents about the abuse when they were kids.

Araragi chose to ignore it because it was difficult. She is mostly why he HATES himself and wants to die in Kizu. He knew all along what was going on in her home. However he chose to ignore it because he didn't want to be responsible for breaking up her family. Then he knew all along the teacher cheated (or guessed that was the case anyway) and chose to ignore it because the class chose as a group to blame Sodachi, and it was easier to go with the flow rather then stand up and do the right thing.

OF COURSE he feels like he's taking advantage of Senjougahara. Jesus christ, he HATES himself you dumb fucker. Self loathing == low self esteem == no self worth, which means since he values her he feels like he's not worthy of her at all. Furthermore she fell in love with him first. which means he must have tricked her or taken advantage of her in some way (this is how his mind works you dim twat). This is why this date episode in Owari2 mattered so much. In this episode Araragi is confronting himself with his own self hate. And he realizes it's ok to grow the fuck up, stop hating himself, and enjoy having a girlfriend he loves.

Your problem is you trust araragi's fucking narration too much. the dude lies to the audience all the fucking time. try WATCHING the show and stop being so trusting of all the endless bullshit that comes out of his mouth.

Nope, he didn't. He realized it after the fact and then denied it ever happened because he was so ashamed of failing to help her. His extreme denial issues spawned from the incident, it didn't exist before it. It's the only fucking reason the arc exists, it's the root of his insecurity issues and everything that stems from it. The fact that he **failed** to help her did this, not that he let Sodachi suffer due to his "just go with the flow because it's easier that way" attitude that he didn't even develop until after that incident.

There are even parts where he's asking his sisters if they remember Sodachi or not living at his house since he couldn't pick her out from his memories, though that didn't make it into the anime.

> is you trust araragi's fucking narration too much.
That's what I said you were doing with you saying how strong Senjougahara is (when she isn't, it's mostly Araragi's one-sided extreme praise of her) Though you seemed to have dropped everything you said about her in >>161850298 and are now agreeing with me on that so whatever.

Not that anon but Araragi didn't ignore what was going on re:Sodachi's family situation the time, he genuinely didn't realize it. He figures it out too little too late and then gets into the habit of repressing memories/failures he doesn't want to acknowledge, which Ougi interrogates him over in Owari. The incident happening at all was what he chose to ignore, not what was going on at the time, this is clearer in the LNs admittedly
(also Sodachi having these ridiculously convoluted plans that no one else understands becomes a running thing for her too)

I think he's mixing up Sodachi's situation with Nadeko's, where Araragi did realise that something wasn't quite right with Nadeko but just let it be while continuing to offer Nadeko opening up to him out of her own free will instead of taking action about it.

>>161852206
Ougi knew about it through Araragi figuring it out too late. Not because Araragi realised all along that Sodachi was being abused but simply decided not to say anything, Sodachi was the one afraid of her family being broken up and not Araragi, he outright didn't realize what was going on at the time. Ougi was berating him over denying that the Sodachi incident ever happened, not that he knew all along but simply didn't do anything. He also did not know all the facts, among other things having to ask his sisters to clarify facts confirms that.

You're completely misinterpreting what happened there. He has no sense of self-esteem due to failing to help her (through his own shortcomings), not that he let her get abused and then had a random change of heart about it not being ok after the fact.

She goes out his shadow around 10pm and goes back to it at dawn. This was revealed in shinobu time. Which will make you wonder. What could she possibly be doing when she is out? Go back and read Kabuki LN and you will learn that rrrg & bat actually sleeps together at night hugging each other.

I do think Araragi could come off as "smarter" if he dropped all the extrenuous bullshit, but then he'd be a different person completely so it's a moot point really.

>>
>>161853501
The whole "I was right about x, I was wrong about y, etc" thing in Ougi Dark confirms that much, yeah. I can understand people going off of partial spoilers and assuming incorrectly before it was animated.

Araragi does come off as a bit dumber in the anime though in my opinion, partly due to a lot of his inner monologue being lost and a lot of the storytelling that would usually be told by his narration being told through visual means since it's an anime and not a novel format now. All that shit Ougi was going on about in Hitagi Rendezvous about stars and shit was nearly 1:1 lifted out of shit Araragi said back in Bake (some of it from his date with Gahara in Tsubasa Cat, and some from his 'date' with Kanbaru in Nadeko Snake though none of that made it into the anime)

That reason has been the standard but I does make sense if we consider that he puts bat in a higher pedestal than cat. Regardless, he is fine living together and having a relationship with bat. Bat is smart, knowledgeable, well endowed in her full form, beautiful beyond compare even in her child form. It is becoming like an excuse rather than a reason.

That is even true in crabs case. They said that he needs her for strength and support but bat is already doing that also. Even the classic, so he would not do it with every girl, crab is his girlfriend. But crab cannot really do that because she is not together with rrrg all the time plus he keeps a lot of secret from her. Bat is like the air that keeps rrrg alive. She is the reason why he think he is alive. If she tells rrrg to stop or else she would leave him, I'm sure he would listen to her.

Owarimonogatari is called Owarimonogatari because Owari means end, or final.

Bakemonogatari was also designed to be standalone initially, at least that's what I recall.

>aggression
In brushing, bee felt that bat is hurting and drowning her in purpose. She even spit all the water over bat and said that it was a revenge for what she did to her. In Orge, bat slapped her needlessly and slipped and told bee that rrrg is brushing her because she just puts anything in her mouth. Bee might have ended swallowing what was in her mouth it she was not lucky. It has become apparent the bat does not approve whatever is going on between bee and rrrg.

>acknowledge
It does matter. As long as bee & rrrg are too cozy with one another bat would not settle down. That is just two occasions. If something like that ever to happen again then we can be really be sure.

>In brushing, bee felt that bat is hurting and drowning her in purpose
She was describing Araragi as a frightening mad doctor akin to a killer in the same story, did you think Araragi was actually trying to kill her too?

>bat slapped her needlessly and slipped and told bee that rrrg is brushing her because she just puts anything in her mouth
She slapped to get her to spit out the bell she put in her mouth. That's literally how that scene is described, no injection of headcanon into events required.

No offence man but I think you're seeing things you want to be there but aren't. Within the story she doesn't seem to really give a shit about his sisters the way you're saying he does. I agree with what others were saying before, Shinobu was just looking out for her. Karen is fucking dense so there's a need to be blatant with her. You've got scenes elsewhere in the series where she gets pissy over Araragi's behavior around other girls for comparison even.

I don't like Bat that much but you're full of shit. She was simply attempting to straighten Karen out.

>>161856531

Araragi was getting off to her writhing and foaming at the mouth in that exact same scene, and continued to do so while he ordered Shinobu to do various things to her.

>She slapped to get her to spit out the bell she put in her mouth.
That is not how you get someone to spit something out. Besides, it was just in her mouth like a candy, she would have realized it sooner and spit it out herself. Bat does not need to slap her in the first place and she definitely does not need to tell her about the brushing. That is not headcanon, those are simple facts.
>Karen is fucking dense so there's a need to be blatant with her.
She needs to teach her through violence. That does not sound reasonable.
>Araragi's behavior around other girls for comparison even.
Bee is a different case because she seem to be being too friendly with rrrg compared to others.She said it herself in owari, that rrrg & her are feeding each other with mouth. I've only seen two instance and just giving others a thing to think about. If this happens again in future arcs, we can confirm if bat is really pissed with bee.
>>
>>161857776
That wasn't enough to know you couldn't love her. Fuck he at least liked her to give it a go. But I guess he was indebted to her before he ever had the chance to get to that point.

Is this entire show just one big allegory for the failure of economical systems?
>Crab loses her family, her personality and her weight because of capitalism

>>161839513

Because
> A) Senjougahara had the balls to ask him as soon as she knew her feelings.
> B) Because Araragi honestly just could not see himself dating Hanekawa seriously, because of her actions in Kizu, he's put her up on a pedestal and see's her like an angel, not just a normal girl that he can date.

As it is, Hanekawa was better off not dating Araragi within a certain time-frame anyway, since she was pretty emotionally messed up and she would probably have ended up having a dependency problem. Besides, she had a pretty unrealistic imagination of what her relationship with Araragi would be.

Besides, at the very least Senjou is happy for Araragi and herself to live normally, she wouldn't stop him from helping with supernatural shit again, but it's obvious she prefers that they're as normal as they could be, given their situation, which Araragi seems to be able to appreciate/agree with. Meanwhile Hanekawa's off trying to be a goddamn exorcist and can't just slow down for two seconds.
>>
>>161856925
>>161857089
see this
>>161857979
If we see something like that in the future, we have a proof the bat is pissed at her. If rrrg stops doing stuff with karen then we might not see it. But we can't ignore the fact the bat does not karen.

In contrast, bat seems to like bird. I'm not sure if it is because she is an oddity or because of her name which has the word moon on it but in tsukihi brushing, bird noticed that bat showed some concern for her. That is where of all this started. Try to compare the two short stories for yourself and you will see the difference between how bat treats bee and how bat treats bird.
>>
>>161855906

She tried to take the 'slower approach' but that doesn't really work with Araragi since he's an indecisive idiot. At least Senjou was clear and concise to him about her feelings and what she wanted from the start.

He had vampire powers at that point. Remember the charm thing.

Nah man. Allowing him to feel her up before a life threatening moment to give him courage isn't the same. Had she said at that point that she liked him we would be in a different situation.

Karen didn't realise what it was until after that happened. Shinobu goes on to praise Karen when talking to Araragi at the end of the story, not sure if you're unaware of that or outright pretending that it doesn't happen to try to justify this weird melodrama that you're pretending exists.

As stated by someone before, Araragi was actively enjoying Karen's reactions to what Shinobu was doing to her in Karen Brushing.

All he does is insert head canon into everything. He doesn't even realize he is doing it. Interprets every line, joke, one off thing into some sort of fact. I am a batfan myself but the amount of nonsense he spouts is just retarded, and since he is the most vocal he just makes all batfans look bad in general.

They both end with Koyomi doing mouth-to-mouth with them and Shinobu doing nothing to stop him.

All the rest of those stories seem to confirm is that Karen is for rough crazy sex and Tsukihi is for softcore cuddly stuff.
>>
>>161839513

You are asking the wrong question.
The correct question is "What is it about cat that made him not choose her?"
And the answer is "Araragi thinks she doesn't deserve someone like him".

What the fuck is a Mai Mai? I thought the episode was called Mayoi Snail.

Hachikuji's getting a couple new arcs in Monster Season and one is called "Mayoi Snail", the "Snail" being written in English. Due to that, people are calling the Bake arc "Mayoi Maimai" which is how snail was pronounced in Japanese.

Bat is the weird one not them. She is the biggest cuckqueen in the entire series. She gets turned on watching her husbando doing all sorts of nasty stuff on the side and enabling him. That is what cuckqueens do. She is not a vampire, she is just a succubus.
>>
>>161860472
Do not lewd your hard-working goddess please.
>>
>>161860530
Will Nisio ever run out of puns?
>>
>>161860503
Shinobu just doesn't care, because time is on her side.
She didn't ask for the restoration of the status quo for nothing.
>>
Cat is a harlot, crab is a challenge to be conquered. Crab is the patrician choice.
>>
>>161860621
That is just an excuse. I now understand why RRG called her a succubus in the LN. If I were to root for her, I might as well be called a succufag.rather than a batfag. At least crab does not have a choice because she is being lied to. So, she is not a cuckqueen at all. Only a genuine succubus like Shinobu fits that role.
>>
>>161843947
Black cat is best cat.
>>
>>161860929
Crab is also a collosal pervert who has kissed other girls in front of Araragi, so she might just not mind him playing around with his sisters/Kanbaru/Hanekawa

Shinobu is another matter entirely, but I don't think Crab knows much about her, you're right.
>>
>>161860503
Doujinshi shows Shinobu powering up by drinking Araragi's sperm. Or was it blood from his cock? That is how succubus get their power.
>>
>>161861081
There isn't really much of a difference between vampires and succubi.
After all the vampire is a metaphor for sexual degenerates.
>>
>>161860682
>A challenge to be conquered

You mean Araragi has no real excuse, he just likes drama and crazy bitches.

Good to know.
>>
>>161861151
Crab isn't necessarily crazy, she's just traumatized.
>>
>>161861035
Crab kissing girls in front of him? Who was that girl and when? Even if that is true, she is far less of a cuckqueen than succubu.
>>
Some of them aren't even 18 yet. Isn't all that child pornography to araragi?
>>
>>161861132
So, we might was well call Shinobu as Succubu. Based on what I've heard from previous post, Succubu is fine seeing RRG have his way with his sisters and is fine with RRG doing it with crab too.
>>
Because Senjougahara saved herself. Hanekawa waited to be saved and never really faced her own problems until much later.

>>161861189
Since all of the other fourth wall breaks in the LNs are canon, (Snail and Araragi discussing the anime adaption, etc.) it stands to reason that the stories that came packaged with the premium Nendoroids are canon.

That means that this: https://yumehokori.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/bakemonogatari-short-story-by-nisio-isin-hitagi-figure-translation/ is canon, and this: https://yumehokori.wordpress.com/2015/08/22/bakemonogatari-short-story-by-nisio-isin-shinobu-figure-translation/?relatedposts_hit=1&relatedposts_origin=1201&relatedposts_position=0 is as well.

In the first story, Hitagi Senjougahara, after meeting with her boyfriend to study, is taken aback by him having a life sized doll in his room. In order to figure out if it is doll or human, she kisses it. As she figures it must be a doll, she requests to take it back with her, as "she loves cute girls".

Worried about her boyfriend's capabilities to study with a doll watching, she realizes the only way to counteract its supposed powers is with another doll, and pulls out the Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Hitagi Senjougahara, (Buy Now!) in order to save her boyfriend. She then suggests that he goes and buys another to ensure his safety.

In the second story, Araragi finds that there are, in fact, two motionless Shinobu present in his room. Ononoki quickly assures him that there is no need for concern, and that one is not really Shinobu, but the Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Shinobu Oshino. (Buy now!) Araragi simply needs to figure out which one is which. To his great disappointment, Araragi finds he can't decipher which one is which through his eyes. Instead, he decides to grope one to make sure. However, he is terrified as both Shinobi assault him. Ononoki explains that both are Shinobu, and she was using her vampire powers to duplicate herself. She then tells the reader that there's a chance that their Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Shinobu Oshino is actually the real thing.
>>
>>161861519
It's pretty but I felt it didn't do nearly enough in order to get me attached to their relationship. The only reason I enjoyed it was because I was already so attached to the characters.

>>161861743
>she kisses it. As she figures it must be a doll,
It is just a doll then. The doll is not actually the "doll" right?
>"she loves cute girls"

>>
>>161861784
Preferred the LN version, given it has the internal ragi monologue
>>
>>161861950
The doll is Doll. Senjougahara was convinced it was a very motionless human, and that's why she did all of those things to her.

As for her opinions on cute girls, she's never really been consistent about it. She hated Sengoku, for example, as she told that story about the other child she disliked, but here and other places she's been described as a pervert for cute things.
>>
>>161862023
I wouldn't be surprised if the LN version was much better, but as I'm waiting to be fluent in Nippon before reading them (as motivation) I cannot verify that.

>>161862128
You can like cute girls and hate bratty children. Sometimes the brat is stronger than the cute.
