This makes Hanekawa a far more dangerous, for lack of a better word, threat to Senjougahara and her relationship with Araragi. While one could make the case that all Monogatari women are vying for Araragi’s affection, Hanekawa’s case is unique in that – prior to his meeting and subsequent romantic relationship with Senjougahara – Araragi was attracted to Hanekawa at one time. Much of Sengoku Nadeko’s narrative is focused on the similar societal trappings of her feelings towards Araragi, but in Nekomonogatari: Shiro – which wraps up a large piece of Hanekawa’s story – the audience observes a genuine attempt at friendship between Hanekawa and Senjougahara. Naturally, this pits them against one another, both within the series and in the keen eyes of viewers looking pair Araragi off with their favorite girl. Tsubasa Hanekawa and Hitagi Senjougahara love the same person: Koyomi Araragi. More specifically, Nekomonogatari: Shiro. Keeping this in mind, let’s turn our attention to the world of Bakemonogatari.

She was such a good– SLUT!?”Ĭady’s inner monologue devolves into a screeched slur as the friend whom she had trusted leans in to kiss the object of her affection. At a Halloween party, Cady watches as Aaron and Regina talk, eagerly trusting her new friend Regina. Relatively early in the movie Mean Girls, Regina George claims that she will help the then-hapless Cady Heron snag her dream date: Regina’s former boyfriend Aaron Samuels.
