The discussion between Araragi and Hachikuji at the start of this episode is amazing for essentially outlining a major theme of this season. I always think about that scene when I think of this season.

At least I hope all of 2nd season is packed into one in the polls so ppl don't get turned off by having to vote for Neko Kuro alone since many see it as one of the weak points of the series (still love that arc tho)

Great catch on the little chains imagery that Shaft slipped in to the talk with Shinobu at the end. They do a lot of those, and it can be hard to tell which ones are actually relevant and which are them just having a field day with the backdrop to the conversation. I think it's also maybe relevant that the particular chains they chose were those little pedestrian fences you see at parks and such, that don't really keep anything out but usually just outline perimeters and such. It fits Shinobu's desire to have plausible deniability of it being an order to assist Araragi, so as to not lose face, the meaning is in perception. Layers and layers of fakes and masks, Nisemonogatari is a real treat when it's at it's best with all the social constructs, assumptions, and real fake things that make up inter-personal relations.

The crab came before kaiki. They are not implying that he manipulated the crab.
