A bike. Stuck on top of a telephone pole. Some traffic accident we had there...
Very good episode, and certainly better than the last arc's equivalent. Loved how bluntly they presented two of her character traits (and hinting at two more, from wiki) and the conversations that arose. "Girls love to talk dirty too" indeed. And lol at Shinobu sulking over a donut.
My take on the "Rain[e]y Devil" is that in action it somehow resembles the Death Stone from Ga-Rei. It takes the host's inner desires and magnifies them a few hundred times, then takes over the host body and acts on these emotions using the simplest method available (which just so happens to be elimination). And yeah, it's very interesting how we have Kanbaru possessed by a
Demon that magnifies emotions and Hitagi got a
God that removes them.

It was because Senjougahara said outright to Kanbaru that she didn't want to get involve with her again. For Kanbaru, that was really hurt. She didn't leave Senjougahara because she wanted to or had no more intention to help. But it was Senjougahara's wish. And Kanbaru thought that it was the only thing she could do for Senjougahara. If that could make Senjougahara felt a bit happier, she would do it. That was the reason Kanbaru left her alone. IMO

This. She didn't have any solution in mind for Hitagi's weight loss (she couldn't have grasped the very concept also), so this was her only course of action.

This is actually pretty common among SHAFT productions, though Bakemonogatari is arguably the most fitting show for this presentation style.
