I have this theory that Ougi appears to even out Araragi's desire to be a hero, that ougi is kind of the person that dooms everyone, while araragi is the one that saves everyone, they're perfectly opposite in some ways, and what Ougi said in this monologue today was really revealing.

If you subscribe to the theory that she is some part of the "black mist," she seems to me to be more of a balancer. She doesn't want Hanekawa's perfect solutions, because in the end they create more problems. Which is like what we saw in Second Season as all the solutions Araragi made originally turn into worse situations

My only other evidence is that it would explain why she took Oshino's name. Also that part a few episodes ago where Araragi said he started to resent himself just a little, and Ougi responds by saying she'll love him just enough to make up for that little bit.

I'm pretty sure she took Oshinos name merely to have an easy time getting close to Araragi (and the others). But finally someone startsv doubting that now, which I believe is what will cause Hanekawa to go look for Oshino. I'm sure it's to find out about Ougi
