"This scene is where the transition was complete." I don't want to go into further detail because I don't want to force my interpretation on you, but the takeaway from this paragraph is this: Araragi's character arc in Kizu is very cleverly done, making use of both female leads, who themselves have character arcs. My belief is that it's intended as a delineator between pre- and post-Kizu Araragi. You know how Kizu has been devoid of the signature Araragi narration that pervades the main series? It comes back after a certain scene in this movie. But this is a review for Reiketsu, so I'll quickly move on to why that's important here and now. This relied on buildup from the previous two movies - through them, the viewer and Araragi had to come to like Kissshot. In Reiketsu, we see the effect Kissshot had on him. In Nekketsu, we saw him learn the joy of true friendship when Hanekawa obstinately stuck by him where any sane human wouldn't have. The question, though, is this: what happened in Kizu to change him so dramatically? There were
Spoilers for those movies, obviously.Īnyone who's seen the main Monogatari series can tell you that the difference between pre-Kizu Araragi and post-Kizu Araragi is like night and day.

Please stop asking me where you can download it, because I don't know. If a newborn vampire like him could defeat the hunters, how did they overpower Kiss-shot? Can he trust her to turn him back to a human? And how is that even possible in the first place?Īraragi is at his limit but he must come to a decision, and it may not be possible to resolve this situation without doing something he’ll regret…ĮDIT: People, people. Once he revives this powerful immortal vampire, there is no telling what she might do, and there would be no way of stopping her.īut there is more to the story that Araragi doesn’t understand. However, now that Araragi has almost accomplished what he’s been fighting for this whole time, he has to consider if this is what he really wants. Kiss-shot is certain she can turn him back into a human, but only once regaining her full power.Īraragi has hunted down the three vampire hunters that defeated Kiss-shot and retrieved her limbs to return her to full strength. After helping revive the legendary vampire Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, Koyomi Araragi has become a vampire himself and her servant.
