r/araragi

Hello, I have currently finished Bake and Kizu Monogatari. You have done a excellent job to explain to me everything in detail and I'm holding that you allow me to ask some questions again. First of all tho, I liked Nisemonogatari a LOT for its very cool characters and hos they grow to eachother very closely in that short timespan over like 3 months. What I didn't liked wasn't the fanservice(even if it botherd me) but this type of incest jokes and the other disgusting "I'm in love with you Onee-chan" bs. Maybe its just me tho.

1. I am VERY confused about the conclusion of the phoenix. From what I've understood the 14yo sister called Tsukihi(?) is a Fake and was born from a phoenix that impregnated her Mom. But what I also understood is that Kiyomi didn't told Tsukihi what she actually is and will that be further explained? Or is she "done for"?

2. Is Oshino Meme some kind of Gojo(strongest) in the "hunter" world? He gets constantly glazed and was pretty cool in Kizu. I just wanted to ask if I'll see him fight one day, don't tell me when and if he loses or wins.

3. What was the deal with Kaiki in the end? Apperantly he setup against kiyomi's siblings but also somehwat helped him clarify the truth(even if it was very violent), also iirc he was said to be a classmate and "very nice". Is Kaiki really a faker and weak middle-aged fraud as he claims to be or is more to him(more as in strength).If yes just tell me to watch the Show.

4. Will Kiyomi Araragi actually get stronger? I'm actually annoyed and botherd that he gets tossed like nothing in the end. Please tell me when he finally does maybe a martial art like he tried to study in Kizu with Aikido and that silly book or does Karate like his Sister, if not then god help me watch these fights.

5. What happend to that giant katana from Kize and why doesen't Shinobu use it? Is she too weak? If yes, cannot Kiyomi wield it? Or is he also too weak. Shinobu stated that the cut was so accurate and thin that if Kiyomi would have moved, he literally would have fallen apart.

6. I wonder if I actually understood the message of Nize. From what I understood it doesen't matter how fake or original you are, as for a original takes his existence as grandes while a fake is doing its best to be real, that would exolain the "fakes can become realer than real ones" from Kaiki and that its not the Status of somebody that determines them but their intention and their act to will. Did I missed something?

Thank you for reading and tolerating my questions(hopefully).

Ive been doing some digging on X and supposedly 1 episode drops in winter 2026!!
