Haven't you misunderstood something there? On the contrary, Koyomi prefers the Hanekawa with all her flaws. The tiger (the manly sister), on the other hand, doesn't even exist without her very flaws.
I was under the impression that Araragi actually prefers to keep the perfect image of Tsubasa. He may like the former better, but willing to let it go because he thinks the "new" Tsubasa is a better change for Tsubasa's growth.

I think Tsubasa's perspective may somehow contribute to that "cool" image of him.

There is one thing that puzzles me. From various comments like Shinobu and Gaen regarding the Tiger, I thought that Tsubasa was the only one who was able to see the Tiger, but now Araragi can also see it as well?

So... was it explained where Shinobu went after seeing the cram school burned down?

I was kinda expecting her teaming up with Black Hanekawa since she probably wanted to know what happened to the building and indeed Araragi as much as Neko-chan...

I feel we know where Shinobu went once we get to seeing what araragi has been doing all this time.

Especially since that sword comes from shinobu anyway, so she should be around...

Hanekawa T_T
Does this mean Black Hanekawa is gone now? I guess there can be some excuses for her to come back for a bit to play around.

She is one with Hanekawa, she both exists and doesn't. She is Hanekawa, and Hanekawa is she. As long as Hanakawa exists, so does she.

Who knows he may go after Karen if a toothbrush scene happens again or maybe he starts looking for more scars on Tsukihi's body. Just kidding.

That was absolutely perfect. The travel sequence was a pure masterclass example of how to make a long monologue sequence that's still interesting to watch. Genius.

Araragi's entrance was just the essence of cool. I practically cheered!

Fantastic.

Bravo! The last two weeks have been classic Monogatari. I'm fully satisfied with Hanekawa's character arc spanning Kuro/Shiro and the Tsubasa Cat arc of Bakemonogatari, even without having read Kizumonogatari. She really earned her big moment at the end there, and I got misty-eyed from how it all wrapped up.

Episodes like this are why I love this series so much, the visuals, dialogue, music, and character development of Tsubasa were all handled incredibility well, I have to give Nisio and Shaft credit for it.

And I agree with others Araragi's entrance was just perfect.

There are some things that were left unexplained.

This arc is after Nise, right? Why is Shinobu a loli again?

I thought Araragi only had healing ability, but in this episode he was able to jump off a 10-story building and was able to throw the blade from such a long distance with super accuracy.

Hope we will see what he has been doing soon.

The Akira sight reference was likely intended, as they did it during Nisemonogatari as well. (But it look cool, period)

As for the relationship pairing, this series has played it straight since Mayoi's arc. Araragi had 1 choice in life for a female partner. He's past that point in time, haha. Senjougahara won, and was always going to win. Mostly as she'd have killed anyone that actually got in the way.
