Monogatari: Off and Monster episode 1 recap in brief
The episode started with an establishing shot and a quick montage of Yotsugi Ononki. The first few minutes of the episode jogged the viewer’s memory. The very first episode of the series showed plenty of progression since Tsukihi Araragi realized that Ononoki wasn’t just a doll. The latter revealed that she was a humanoid and the Tsukihi promised to join her quests.
The episode then focused on Nadeko who too had a lengthy conversation with Ononoki. The budding manga artist helped Ononoki create a slug-like monster.
Ononoki wanted to fight a monster and slay it in Tsukihi’s presence. This is because the latter was insistent on fighting alongside Ononoki and all of this was arranged by Ononoki. However, the humanoid struggled considerably and it was Mayoi Hachikuji who saved her at a crucial moment.
Aragi Tsukihi lost her memory due to her amnesia, which meant that she forgot the truth about her doll. Ononoki made the same mistake that led to her being caught, and Tsukihi, once again, knew that Ononoki wasn’t just a life-sized plushie in her room.
What to expect in the upcoming episode?
Monogatari: Off and Monster episode 2 might focus on Ononoki’s attempt to neutralize the situation. This will certainly lead to an interesting set of interactions. Moreover, the episode could potentially unveil other characters as well. There are other deuteragonists who haven’t made their appearance yet. Perhaps the likes of Oikura Sodachi could be introduced to the audience.
