One of the things I appreciate Part 3 for is how well balanced it is.

The fact that everything he’s done leads to confronting the one he saved feels like a natural way to draw things to a close. He’s had Hanekawa to keep his humanity intact while fearlessly fighting off enemy after enemy to save Kiss-Shot.

Throughout these three movies, we’ve watched Araragi grow and become accustomed to his reality as a vampire.

Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu brings our story to a satisfying end. Hanekawa reasons that the only one who can put a stop to Kiss-Shot now is Araragi and thus he sets off to bring an end to the misfortune he has brought upon the world. This revelation shocks our protagonist to the core and he begins to wonder if he should die for his sins, but faithful friend Hanekawa talks him round. He was far busier worrying about fighting vampire hunters and returning to being human to realise what saving Kiss-Shot meant. The fact Kiss-Shot is a vampire is something that Araragi has never had to think about so far. However, when Araragi catches Kiss-Shot eating Guillotine Cutter’s corpse, he’s horrified to realise that restoring Kiss-Shot means she will now hunt humans for food and that he (presently being a vampire) too has a taste for human blood. With his promise to help Kiss-Shot fulfilled, Araragi is excited to return to being human. As this thrilling sequence of Monogatari tales comes to an end, does it live up to my expectations? Let’s find out!Īs we reunite with Araragi we find him restoring Kiss-Shot to her former glory, having won back all her missing body parts from the vampire hunters. Three years after I watched the first two parts of Kizumonogatari, the long wait to see Part 3 is finally over.
