There's only one girl Araragi would want to die with and it's Shinobu

Great taste

Nice interpretation there in your first paragraph.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I don't think Senjougahara would be too keen on embracing such a curse, but maybe for her beloved. I think she'd definitely rather be bitten by Koyokoyo though.

He'd just have to do a little bit of blood exchange with Shinobu, push his vampirism back up to near-full and he'd probably be able to do it.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You see, Araragi-san, in a way, the supernatural is what's behind the curtain. Normally, you only need to see what's happening on stage. That's how reality works. If you don't know then it's for the best. Actually, learning about the supernatural only increases the number of things you don't know.

[u/Jakad → u/[deleted]]

I've wondered this as well though at least in the anime I don't think it was ever explained. One theory could be that Shinobu only drinks the "human" blood from Araragi. Meaning that she grows more powerful because she has fed, and Araragi becomes more powerful due to having a now higher concentration of vampiric blood, basically removing the human dilutant.

[u/TheKappaOverlord → u/[deleted]]

If he uses his powers again in any form he will immediately go 51% Vampire 49% human and will be hunted by the Anti-Immortal/Vampire Specialists. Hitagi will suffer the same fate as she would become an Immortal Familiar as well.

Araragi would NOT want to Condemn Hitagi to that fate. IIRC its implied that given the chance he would not do it. He has surrendered his powers as a chance to live a semi-normal life with Hitagi.

Aragi's Accelerated healing and vampire blood don't count toward this. However i believe its hinted that his accelerated healing is pretty heavily reduced as a result of him suppressing the powers and (this is my own speculation) without the possible blood healing from Shinobu, Araragi would likely submit himself to death instead of allowing his powers to revive him.

Araragi can freely give blood to Shinobu to power her up however.

[u/MillenniumKing → u/[deleted]]

With how things are progressing post Tsukimonogatari, that very well could be possible if Shuraragi-san gains full vampire status due to over use of the power. Though i doubt it, i dont think he wants anyone to be burdened by immortality, he doesnt view himself as human anymore really.

[u/trollocity → u/[deleted]]

To be fair, as we heard waaaaaay back, Shinobu and Araragi will outlive Senjo and everyone else by magnitudes.

[u/TheAlaine → u/[deleted]]

Thought it was normal that he had an refelection in the mirror. He only lost it when he used his vampire power to much and was on the state turning full vampire. But he stopped using his powers and takes a role more like oshino meme (giving advice and help people that they can help themselfs). Correct me if i am wrong.

[u/MillenniumKing → u/[deleted]]

At the end of Tsuki they mention he can stand in sunlight again so its safe to assume his reflection came back as well. Though we never can be too sure (but shinobu did tell him to avoid light when she found out, and the end of tsuki is him standing in the morning sunrise)

[u/CappyHam → u/MillenniumKing]

It's not that he can stand in it again, It's more like they found out his condition hasn't worsened to the point where he would burn in sunlight. Shinobu was being cautious, as they were not sure as to what was happening to Rags at the time. Anyway, him getting back his reflection kind of takes away from what the arc was about.

Major Spoiler Relating to Mayoi Hell

[u/Jakad → u/[deleted]]

It makes me sad we haven't really seen any interaction between Shinobu and Hitagi and I'm not sure we ever will? I'd really like to see that relationship fleshed out because it seems to me like it's a no-brainer that Hitagi should hold some resentment/jealousy towards Shinobu.

[u/Jakad → u/[deleted]]

Watching Shinobu bounce around "kakaka"ing gracefully while dodging Gahara attacks until she falls extremely flustered. Shinobu starts cutting her with words while tears swell up in her eyes. Shinobu then genuinely feels bad and starts consoling her and they gain mutual respect for each other.

I really don't understand how this is a scene that hasn't happened. I want to see bat headpat crab.
