Why doesn't he just dump Senjyogahara? It's obvious he cares more about Shinobu.
The only reason that I could possibly comprehend is "waah I'll hurt her", but he's an idiot because every second he doesn't he's making the eventual pain she'll feel even worse.
I'm a Crabfag, but Bat has already won and Araragi just carries on. Just fucking end it and save everyone's time.
Nicholas Nelson
Jesus christ stop being a deluded fool and pretending that you're a crabfag. I know this is probably bait, but some stupid fucks on this site actually believe the repugnant bile you're spewing, and they need to be woken up.
Robert Taylor
>I'm a Crabfag, but Bat has already won
God must be hard to be a Crabfag be disillusioned enough to try to argue that Crab will win over Bat in the end, unlike the OP.
Evan Williams
She's holding him hostage like a Somali pirate
Dominic Sanders
But I like Crab.
It's just Nisio obviously prefers Bat, so he should drop the fucking pretense and let her go fuck Soda or something.
Jose Hill
I'm sorry for everything I've ever done
William Ramirez
Nisio's favoritism for complicated people and relationships really could not possibly be more apparent. It's hilarious when you think about the fact that Nisio himself is probably the biggest Snakefag who ever lived, despite her being so unpopular with his fanbase for being such a difficult human and Hitagi being more popular than he'd like for being the simplest one can be.
You really have to wonder why he bothered with writing a normal, boring relationship if he doesn't care about it. Was it for general appeal? What did he think it would add to the story? He clearly doesn't write Hitagi purely for enjoyment like the edgy relationships of Mono.
Jackson Morris
Considering that she was originally much more important to the plot in Bake (having heavy screentime in the first three arcs and the last), it's likely he just started to like her less and less as time went on.
There are plenty of different ways to use her as a character, but with her currently representing the "normal" part of Araragi's life they'll never be used.
Daniel Perez
Dream team
Xavier Lewis
He does
Julian Roberts
But then they get back together.
Owen Rivera
Thanks to Math
Lucas Russell
And in a more romantic way than ever before
Matthew Martin
I know that's why I posted her.
It still doesn't address the elephant sized tits in the room.
Evan Rodriguez
But Bake was written with no thought of continuing. If not for expending the monogatari series, Bake would have been fine.
Daniel Martinez
>And in a more romantic way than ever before No, really. It's back to square one again, their relationship just goes back and forward now. Meanwhile Nisio has his eyes set on further developing Araragi and Shinobu in the latest novel.
Grayson Bailey
He hated Senjyogahara after learning she didn't make nearly as cute of a loli.
Daniel Harris
He's really developing Bat and rragi relationship in the latest novel? How?
Eli Fisher
Well Crab is his future wife. Araragi can't marry Bat so he will marry Crab. It's easy.
Christian Butler
Crab will die and wither away while Araragi stays at peak physical condition and eventually forgets about her entirely.
Lincoln Brooks
>Araragi can't marry Bat
Why the fucking hell not?
William Edwards
There's a very common misconception that Japan has a very low age of consent.
Like most misconceptions, it is a half truth. Japan, does in fact have a very low federal age of consent. But alas, the provinces do not, and our half vampire hero would face the insides of a jail cell for the rest of his life.
Henry Hughes
She is a vampire loli you know. Of course she will die because she is mortal. But it doesn't mean that Araragi can't love her and she can't love him while she's alive.
Blake Gomez
Yes, but Shinobu can switch to her 17 year old form by will after Owari. So, there is no problem. And also, he's already married to bat.
Isaac Morgan
A vampire loli who can turn into a vampire teenager who can turn in a vampire adult who can
You know what, fuck you, that's how he can.
>implying that our hero isn't qualified for jail time already >araragi is a man of the law now
They would never catch Molesteragi
Dominic Stewart
> but Shinobu can switch to her 17 year old form by will after Owari Proof? How can she do it? She needs Araragi's blood.
Nathaniel Diaz
Well, I suppose I only know what I know..
Jose Flores
And if Araragi wants to marry her, guess what she will have everytime she wants in abundancy? His fucking blood, that's what.
Jason Brown
He's already married to her though, they even act like a married couple. So honestly: >Araragi can't marry bat kek
Caleb Allen
And he has a lot of blood.
Just fucking dump Crab for her own good. Better learn that his love is false now instead of ten years into marriage.
Easton Young
It's not by will. And Araragi doesn't use her powers anymore.
Asher Thompson
does bat have pusspuss?
Adam Reyes
No the only cat girl in this show is Hanekawa
Christopher Sanchez
No, she doesn't anymore. She can literally hop to her 17 year old form by will, but Araragi now also needs to regularly such Shinobu's blood now in order to stabilize their power.
Leo King
Crab and Bat are cucks. Crab knows that she is #2, Bat watches how Araragi fucks Crab from the shadow. Do you have a proof?
Michael Morales
He doesn't use them to ''solve'' problems, since he thinks it's wrong to use Shinobu's power like that. Their connection has become more ''open'' or as to say willed from both sides. Shinobu can increase her vamparic nature on her own but needs Araragi to stabilize it again by sucking her blood. The connection is there to keep their vamparic nature at low levels.
Jayden Long
Crab doesn't know that he considers Shinobu above her. She's blissfully unaware of it.
Hell, she didn't even know about what happened in Tsubasa Cat and presumably still doesn't.
Joseph Martin
I really thinks that someday, maybe in fifty years in universe or so, Araragi will be fed up with that bullshit of supressing their vampiric natures, will say "you know what, fuck that" and become a full vampire with Kiss-Shot by his side.
Chase Lee
Crab will win
all ye unbelievers shall see
Jason White
>Crab doesn't know that he considers Shinobu above her. She's blissfully unaware of it.
Imagine that.
Someday, somehow, Crab learn the full extent of rrgi and Shinobu's relationship and how she will never be the most important woman in his life.
I live for that day.
John Wright
Getting her was thanks to math in the first place.
Liam Taylor
If it ever does happen it'll probably have an entire arc dedicated to it. >Senjyogahara stops contacting Araragi and goes missing >It's just an entire two episodes of him trying to find her and harassing random people he thinks kidnapped her >in the end she just ran away from him
James Butler
Source? In Musubi he doesn't use her powers because he doesn't want to become a vampire again. And Shinobu is a loli.
Isaac Nelson
>he finds her dead body crumpled on the staircase where they first met
Austin Russell
She kinda does know user. Her talk to Snake in Otori implies it. She even calls Shinobu Araragi's treasure and knows he'll suicide if he loses her.
Wyatt Myers
>Why doesn't he just dump Senjyogahara? It's obvious he cares more about Shinobu. He's got a pretty nice set-up though. He can fuck about with all these chicks but doesn't have to take on any of their wacko baggage because he can just pull out the >dude I have a girlfriend card.
Heck I guess even at this point if he colossally fucks up somehow and loses everyone he still has Ougi.
Chase Perez
Nisio will never write something lile that. Not his style.
Isaac Wood
She's still pretty confident otherwise, regardless of the truth.
Thomas Foster
Wait why do people hate Crab so much? I'm talking about the character here, not her fanbase. She's barely around enough to even hate on.
Grayson Davis
>In Musubi he doesn't use her powers because he doesn't want to become a vampire again. He doesn't use her powers because he thinks it's wrong to use her powers for every fucking problem he encountered you idiot. He has no problems with being a vampire, haven't you fucking paid attention to Araragi's behavior after Kizu? He doesn't care much about his humanity anymore as proven in Owari novel. His return to humanity was not even worth much of a thought in his head, since he had no interest in staying human. Shinobu's presence in his life was far more important to him, that's why they both reestablished their connection. Araragi was like:"fuck my life if Shinobu is not in it" Shinobu is to him more important then his ''humanity''
>but Araragi now also needs to regularly such Shinobu's blood now in order to stabilize their power. This is both true and untrue. Araragi has been sucking Shinobu's blood for a while not just as much as Araragi has actually. In the Nise part 2 novel shortly after their fight against Kagenui and Doll, Araragi sucked Shinobu's blood in order to stabilize their vamparic nature and turn Shinobu back into a girl. >The condition of the pairing is that Araragi let Shinobu drink a certain amount of blood in order to survive. As blood accumulates, their vampire characteristics increases in proportion to that so there are times when Araragi needs to suck some of the blood out of Shinobu to alleviate those. Obvious signs that Araragi needs to do this is when they can no longer withstand the sun. This is where Shinobu's sudden forms come in. It's not that Shinobu was never able to simply change her form by will before Owari. She was always capable of turning into a older form. She just never did that before Owari.
Thomas Brooks
>God, I wish that were me
John Barnes
> He has no problems with being a vampire Watch Tsuki. Fucking crazy batfag,
Jonathan Phillips
Because this is a harem show where a girl wins almost immediately but other girls have a better relationship with the MC in the eyes of everyone who isn't a Crabfag.
It's also probably that most people who loved Crab and watched the show for her dropped out when she went multiple years in between arcs. Even Shaft made fun of her lack of screentime.
Cameron Johnson
> Shaft Nisio not Shaft
James Sullivan
If push came to shove, Araragi would choose Shinobu above everyone and not just Crab. He's acting like he should. He's committed himself to Shinobu out of his own desire and not because he felt responsibility or anything. He showed through his actions and his words that he truly values her above all. By going back to the question Araragi asked Shinobu in Kizu: "What are humans to you?" Meanwhile Araragi's own feelings towards his humanity have changed a lot.
Brandon Butler
Read the future novels inbred and pay fucking better attention to Araragi's behavior. His desperation towards his humanity that he had in Kizu has really loosened you disgusting secondary.
Chase Morris
Watch fucking Tsuki. His humanity wasn't the problem.
Grayson Cook
>Watch fucking Tsuki I think you need to rewatch a lot more then just Tsuki user.
Nicholas Morris
Shaft did too. Senjyogahara is wearing the outfit she did in Hitagi End, her last arc, despite it being completely inappropriate for the weather. When we next see her, her hair has tripled in length. It implies that she was put into stasis immediately after the episode and taken out so she could ask Araragi out for a date.
It builds off the joke that Nisio made, but it's still a different joke.
Jonathan Baker
crab is cat's wife tho
Evan Robinson
> Senjyogahara is wearing the outfit she did in Hitagi End, her last arc Wrong. Watch Koyomi ep12.
Oliver Perez
Hanekawa doesn't like Gahara like that, their faces should be switched in that picture. Doesn't say a thing about loving ahara in Tsubasa Sleeping but says as such about Araragi multiple times.
Tyler Carter
Well now I just feel silly
Dominic Rogers
This is the type of Loli to lead innocent young men into a white van and force them to give her headpats.
Gavin Hughes
Nisio doesn't care about Crab. Araragi doesn't love Crab. Crab became absolutely irrelevant.
I'm Crabfag and I feel silly when I think about it. Even the iconic Bake ep12. is meaningless now.
Hudson Davis
Shippers need to die.
Liam Ramirez
Araragi is going to have an orgy with bat, crab and cat at least once in his life. Guaranteed
Cooper Brooks
I'd argue that Nisio uses Araragi sisters more than Senjou to represent his "normal" life, honestly.
Also I like Senjou as much as the next guy and all but Shaft defenitely imbalanced things here a bit in Bake, they cut out a lot of dialogue for the other characters but cut out comparitively little for her I've noticed.
Ougimonogatari better be another wacky mystery story. The series is at it's best when that's what it's doing.
Christian King
According to a poster earlier in this thread, it's because originally Bake was just its own thing.
But then the rest of the series was planned out, and Senjyogahara didn't end up in any of those plans. She'll just slowly grow less and less important as time goes on.
Robert Hill
I refuse to believe you watch the show if you don't know by this point that Araragi has a weakness for helping girls, can friendzone a girl if he wants to and has admitted he loves snail and his sister the best so nobody has really "won"
Bentley Perez
I'd agree if it wasn't for one of Araragi's imouto being an apparition herself.
Senjyogahara purposefully goes out of her way to attempt to be normal and except for Hitagi End will go in the opposite direction of apparitions at all times.
Ayden Turner
>I refuse to believe you watch the show There is your problem
Nolan Brooks
Zoku-Owari when so I can rewatch this chronologicaly already?
Dominic Phillips
>thinks araragi won't dump a girl because it will hurt her >dumps a girl previously and hurts her
Jackson Parker
After owari.
Daniel Stewart
I meant chronologically, you can just watch everything already and then zoku. And most stuff later is either after or side-stories that don't matter much on Araragi's timeline.
Easton Parker
>I refuse to believe you watch the show I can't honestly believe you even watch the show when you say something this retarded >and has admitted he loves snail and his sister the best so nobody has really "won" user, I can't even take you seriously
Camden Wilson
Then why hasn't he dumped Senjyogahara yet?
Owen Hall
Best subs for the Kizu movies? There's so many releases to choose from.

Carson Davis
She turned into an older form during Owari because after getting separated from Koyomi when he died she turned back into a full vampire, no?
Matthew Wright
The development for Araragi and Shinobu is chronologically before Musubi with the crab reunion.
Landon Murphy
That's not Commie. That's a masterpiece.
Colton Nelson
What about the other series? I've been thinking of rewatching them all again to refresh my mind on the plot, but since this is such a complicated series to translate I don't know which group gets it right
Have some bat tiddies
Camden King
In all seriousness: commie for 1-2 and tactical for 3.
Gavin Taylor
These are outdated. Use Edo's updated 1080p batch for all three.
Jackson Robinson
Don't fall for the "commie is bad" memes. They have the best grasp of proper flowing English.
