How can a movie trilogy be this good? Part 2 Disclaimer: This review has spoilers for Kizumonogatari II. It also includes some lewd and gore scenes. Link to part 1https://anilist.co/review/30654 Kizumonogatari II I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the first one probably because it answered a lot of questions I had and also because the fight scenes were awesome. There were also a lot of key moments between Koyomi and Tsubasa that I really liked. They improved Koyomis development a lot in this movie far more than what I wouldve expected. While fighting with the first vampire hunter Dramaturgy we learn that Koyomi doesnt just have the power of regeneration he also does it very fast and thats pretty uncommong among vampires. Seeing how unmatched Dramaturgy is in front of Koyomi he gives up and returns KissShots leg. Then we learn that KissShot has to eat his own leg to regenerate and make it a part of her. That scene was pretty funny not gonna lie I didnt expect that at all. Continuing we face one of the most important scenes of the movie or at least one of the most impactful ones. That would be in the second fight with the vampire hunter Episode. While Koyomi tries to defeat him unsuccessfully for a very long time Tsubasa arrives at the location where theyre fighting to tell Koyomi a way to defeat him once and for all. But just before she could say anything Episode strikes her with his gigantic weapon. Obviously I didnt expect her to die at all. Mostly because she is alive in Bakemonogatari. Watching this scene was traumatic and very sad. Koyomi trying to save her while also feeling guilt for not getting rid of her successfully before. All of those feelings mixed with Tsubasa using her last moments to tell Koyomi about how Episodes vulnerability is that he transforms into mist. After all of that I knew Koyomi was going to go berserk and start trying to kill Episode instantly. And thats what ended up happening but before he could kill him Meme appeared to balance things out saying that if he kills him he would be renouncing to his humanity. After that Koyomi asks Meme for help because he wants to save Tsubasa no matter the cost. For three million yen he accepts and says that he can save Tsubasa if he uses his own vampire blood to heal her. Hopefully that turned out to be the truth and we were able to see Tsubasa alive once again. Key moments like these help to relate more to both Tsubasa and Koyomi along with understanding the reasons behind some of their actions towards one another. Its kinda funny because most of the time Koyomi gets flustered in random moments with her and sometimes its the opposite with Tsubasa blushing when she realizes the situation shes in. Those moments make them very human very... real I guess. One of the key and final moments of the movie was the one where Tsubasa gives Koyomi his panties as a symbol of trust to make sure hell see her again. Even though it was... really lewd and kinda unprecedented I think that the moment was perfectly executed as I was able to feel her embarrassment and trust towards Koyomi. Maybe its not that serious and its just a random funny moment like always but I dont think that was the full intention behind a very long scene like that. But the very final moment of the movie was really really epic. Meme informs Koyomi that Tsubasas been captured by the final vampire hunter Guillotine Cutter and that if he wants to beat him hell have to renounce to his humanity. This gives us one of the most insane and cool moments of the movie with Koyomi transforming his whole body in less than a second to save Tsubasa and trap Guillotine Cutter at the same time. The fact that Koyomi went that far just for Tsubasas sake and also to keep Guillotine Cutter intact. He didnt kill anyone he just beats them in their own games.
