Yes it does. None of the arcs have been entirely about who they're named after. The Mayoi arc was about the Senjougahara/Araragi relationship, the Suruga arc was about the Senjougahara/Araragi relationship, the Nadeko arc was about the Senjougahara/Araragi relationship... oh hey, I think I just noticed a pattern!

By this point Senjougahara is so GAR that she doesn't need a catalyst anymore, so screw the side characters, who were just fodder anyway. ... is your reasoning something like that?

People has been crazy for Senjougahara and I can see why, but in terms of usefulness she really is useless. |

Yeah, in Mayoi arc, she help Mayoi return to her home. In Kanbaru arc, she is even more crazy, she scared the rainy devil away... Is she really useless?? |

Mayoi's arc is about Senjougahara seeing the true nature of Araragi's "helpful" personality, plus the obvious confession and its aftermath. We also get a scene about them promising not to hide things from each other. Suruga's arc is about the aftermath of that promise, and how it conflicts with Araragi's ideals. He has to realize that suddenly he's important to someone, and that not getting anyone else involved isn't the best way to make everyone happy. It's also about them both wanting to help each other, but not really being sure how to (Senjougahara wants to help him study/get his life in order, Araragi wants to help her get her friend back). Nadeko's arc is about Senjougahara being pushed into the background. The whole theme was "choose who you want to save" with the analogy being that he can't spend so much time hanging around other girls if he expects to be Senjougahara's boyfriend. You can't be friendly with everyone equally, at some point you have to stop and think about what's most important to you. Hanekawa's arc is about... well we haven't seen it yet. I don't doubt the events of episode 12 help set it up though. And yes, there's more to the arcs than that, most obviously the particular issues that the girls had, but in terms what they all mean to Araragi it's pretty obvious what the overall theme is. People sometimes indulge in what I think of as "eroge thinking" in that they separate the story into "routes" that they treat as almost causally isolated from each other. This is simply not the case in most series, and especially not this one. Araragi is the main character for a reason, and no it's not simply to be an audience surrogate. This is his story, and focusing on each arc as an entirely separate thing misses that. |

Love how people are discussing previous episode events in an episode 13 topic.
Should probably lock this topic until the episode is actually up on the site, imo. Confuses less people and the way I see it, the discussion being had in here should be elsewhere. |
