Kizumonogatari

Together, the films are an adaptation of the 2008 light novel of the same name, which is the second entry in the Monogatari series written by Nisio Isin and a prequel to the first, Bakemonogatari.

A compilation film, Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp (傷物語 こよみヴァンプ), was released in January 2024.

That evening, Koyomi encounters this rumored vampire: she is Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, also known as the "King of Apparitions."

Koyomi next fights the vampire-human half-breed Episode, who can transform into mist and wields a giant silver cross as a weapon.

Before she dies, Tsubasa points out to Koyomi that he can defeat Episode by throwing sand into his mist form.

Koyomi now must face the fully human priest, Guillotine Cutter, for Kiss-Shot's arms.

Nonetheless, Guillotine Cutter kidnaps Tsubasa, and Meme advises that Koyomi must "forget about being human again" in order to rescue her.

Koyomi uses a power to transform his arms into tree roots to defeat Guillotine Cutter and save Tsubasa, but he appears to have abandoned his wish to become human again.

Koyomi goes off to buy food, but when he returns, he finds Kiss-Shot eating the eviscerated corpse of Guillotine Cutter.

Tsubasa's comforting words, as well as a clumsy attempt to fondle her breasts, bring Koyomi's spirits up enough to face Kiss-Shot in a fight.
