Synopsis
Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu (2017) is the final chapter of Shaft's animated Kizumonogatari trilogy, available to watch online on iFILM. Koyomi Araragi has defeated all three vampire hunters — Dramaturgy, Episode, and Guillotinecutter — and returned Kiss-Shot's limbs. All that remains is the ritual to make him human again. Then he finds out the part of the story no one bothered to tell him.
Directed by Tatsuya Oishi and Akiyuki Shinbo, the third film is noticeably quieter than the previous two. The action gives way to long conversations that unpeel the logic behind everything that has happened — who knew what, and when, and why they kept it from Araragi. The voice cast includes Hiroshi Kamiya, Yui Horie, and Maaya Sakamoto. Released in Japanese theatres in January 2017, this is the coldest instalment by far, which is exactly what the title promises.
Newcomers will be lost. For those who watched Parts 1 and 2, Reiketsu delivers an ending that doesn't flinch — it answers the question of what it costs to save someone, and the answer is uncomfortable in all the right ways. Watch Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu (2017) online on iFILM.
