Maaannn I love this show and hanamonogatari only has a couple of episodes so I really hope you guys move right into the next one owarimonogatari. Regardless, great work and look forward to seeing more of this series

Don't believe the narrator!!! They mostly if not all lie, exaggerate, or just miss things. It's a story after all told by the perspective of someone. That's why I love this anime, it's all perspective

So as to why Kaiki is alive: He says in his arc multiple times that he is a liar. He also says in his beginning monolog, something along the lines of: "I hope I can tell a story, where by the end the readers can say: "He got what he deserved" ". He also blatantly foreshadows his death multiple times throughout his arc saying: "I hope I don't get stabbed", etc. The reason for him saying he died at the end was kind of his final goodbye to the audience. In the novels, he never appears in any story told after this. Hanamonogatari is technically told right in the middle of second season, but it was released later as a separate arc because of production issues. Which is why this "conclusion" to his character doesn't make sense, because it's not the last arc he appears in anymore. Don't forget these are stories (monogatari) told by the respective characters, from their perspective. This is also why for example people in nadeko's story are shown as abstract figures, and probably also why Araragi's arcs always feel at least a bit more horny than the rest. I mean, Kaiki's story has pretty much 0 fanservice. Tl;dr: Kaiki lied about his death as a final goodbye to the audience.

Sincerely, the Best.

Are we getting the third episode today too? Since we were supposed to get two today and one yesterday but yesterday's was delayed to today

Ayman Gebrail

I mean... Kaiki at least did warned you at the beginning of Koimonogatari xD

I really enjoy Kaiki as a character. His dialogue about people is really good since we do tend to reduce everything to black and white but its never that easy.

Just a recommendation: The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Onmyoji ~ These Monsters Are Too Weak Compared To My Youkai~

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

To add to a previous comment by V-IceCP, one of the other motivations of Kaiki faking his death is so that he can exit Senjougahara's life. In the final episode of second season he talks about how Araragi's presence in Nadeko's is unhealthy for her and makes a parallel with him and Senjougahara, just as Araragi will from then on leave Nadeko's life and become a memory, so does he for Senjougahara.

Kaiki best girl

Kambal's action of holding chopsticks is very polite and suitable for manners.

Funny thing, this book came out BEFORE the Nadeko arc book. They moved it to after for the anime because this spoils that Kaiki didnt die from getting piped in the back of the head.

Saba

im just here sup yall

John Strickland

Anyone know what part of this series I should watch first?

Ice

Type "Monogatari" in the search bar and sort by oldest.

James Ancester

Yeah, Ougi is Ougi. No gender to be assigned to that thing.

Jelly N Jam

He didn't get shot he got hit over the head with a bat or crowbar or something similar.

James Ancester

I don't think the whole "Kaiki died... but then he didn't" thing was ever actually explained. My guess on how Kaki is alive is, in one word, lies. In the beginning of Koimonogatari he alluded to how he, like Araragi, is an unreliable narrator and will at times straight up lie to the viewer and that none of the events described by him should be taken at face value. So he essentially conned the audience into thinking he died.

Ice

I explained it in the comment above :D

Ice

Notice how Kaiki's character, or rather, how we see his character has gone full 180. He was introduced as this big bad guy by Araragi, whose parents are both police officers (hence why he and his sisters have such a strong sense of justice). Araragi often sees things as black and white. As soon as he heard that Kaiki scammed his sister, he assumed he was the devil on earth, and even after having seen him save nadeko, Araragi still distrusts him. After we get to know Kaiki better in his arc, he becomes less of a villain, and more of a protagonist, who just has a liking towards money. And in this arc, he just full-on takes on the role of a nice uncle, just trying to help Suruga out, because he wants to. There's been zero character development, the only thing that's changed is our perspective. This is why I love this series.

James Ancester

whoops, missed that one. You did a much better job explaining anyway. I'll keep my theory as a headcanon tho.

AlmightyJib

Yooo are you in the Tampa area !? I swear I saw you at a gas station but didn’t want to bother you haha 😅

Jonathan Campbell

Could you guys check out a show called “Ore Monogatari” it is a romance that has nothing to do with the Monogatari series.

Imari

Y’all should watch Bojack horsemen as a duo series if y’all haven’t already watching it on your own.

AlexXis Amadeus

YOu wanna know how he's alive?? You want the TRUTH?! The Truth is that Kaiki is a fucking liar, and we watched a story from his perspective where he straight up LIED about his own goddamn ending. How fuckin' meta is that? This is the best written anime I've ever watched. In-universe, the kid did try to kill him and he did go unconscious, he just didn't die. He told us RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING of Koimonogatari that he would be flat out lying to us and that in the end we'd be thinking "serves him right", but for some dumbass reason I didn't believe him. The motherfucker Conned me so that he could have a symbolic redemption both in-universe and in the mind of the audience by being re-introduced to be nothing but a nice guy, even though he didn't even really do anything he wouldn't have normally done. What a legend. Kaiki best girl

Jackson

y’all should stream last of us
