The biggest problem I have with Nisio Isin is that he tends to write these
abnormal characters whose motivations and behaviour are so removed from reality that I cannot hope to comprehend them.
Araragi is such a character. Why is he happy to die for Hanekawa? The only explanation I have is that he views her more like a goddess than a potential girlfriend.
Also, I don't understand why during their confrontation he said that he hated her guts. Was it to provoke Hanekawa to attack him?
