Very important episode. Great character development and world building, while we are exploring highly philosophical themes in depth. The innermost machinations of human psychology are laid bare, allowing us to gaze into the face of human existence at its purest level. 10/10

Regarding Kaiki Deishuu and his curses. Technically they are in fact actual curses he's peddling, but Kaiki himself does not believe they are real, or perhaps is being willfully ignorant of the supernatural. As far as he's concerned, he's trafficking placebos and any injury caused is due entirely to the wild imaginations of his young victims. He believes the flame-wreathed bee is a pseudo-historical legend and Karen's illness is all in her head. In reality though it was a real curse and she was truly afflicted with a supernatural poison. As for those he sold to kids like Nadeko's bully, they should generally do nothing because they're being cast by children with no magical power, but as you looked up at the end of the episode, Nadeko's attempt to counter the curse caused it to manifest in a very real and lethal way. I don't believe it is ever explained what happened to the boy who had his curse turned back on him, but considering how close Nadeko was to death in just a couple days, it is quite possible that he did not survive the ordeal. Kaiki Deishuu's perspective in this series is fascinating, especially since from minute one the viewer is told to believe in the supernatural. Throughout the series you take it for granted. But here comes someone who is knowledgeable in the occult and wields it to harm others, yet he believes (or perhaps pretends to believe) that none of it is real. He tells Araragi, and thus the viewer, to reject the idea of ghosts. Many years ago (like 10+) I read a paper someone wrote about interpreting the entirety of Monogatari from a purely realistic lens where there are no weight crabs or 500 year old vampire lolis or lost cow-snail-ghosts, just the wild imaginations or paranoid delusions of hurt, traumatized, and lonely teenagers trying to find reason for their pain. It's an interesting perspective, though I'm sure not the intended one by the author.

Oh yeah, this video also had the toothbrushing episode. Yeah... that altered my brain chemistry as a teen back when it first came out. Personally I think someone else brushing my teeth like that would be supremely gross and uncomfortable. Kinda like how watching it as an adult makes me feel gross and uncomfortable.
