Ep 14. Nadeko Medusa, Part 3

Nadeko Medusa, Part 3 is the fourteenth episode of the Monogatari Series Second Season. This anime follows the story of a high school student named Koyomi Araragi as he encounters various supernatural beings and helps them solve their problems.

The episode picks up where the previous one left off, with Nadeko Sengoku transforming into a powerful snake deity called Medusa. She is now wreaking havoc and causing destruction around her, all while being unaware of her own actions.

Koyomi and his friend Shinobu Oshino realize that they must stop Medusa before she causes any more harm. They go to Nadeko's house to try and talk with her, but she refuses to listen and attacks them with her newfound powers. It becomes clear that they must come up with a new plan to subdue her.

Meanwhile, Koyomi's sisters, Karen and Tsukihi, investigate the mysterious occurrences happening in their town. They stumble upon a strange shrine hidden behind a waterfall and encounter a young girl named Izuko Gaen. Izuko seems to know a lot about the supernatural events happening and is willing to help them if they can assist her with a favor.

Back at Nadeko's house, Koyomi and Shinobu realize that Medusa is being fueled by negative emotions and the only way to stop her is to confront her with the truth. Koyomi reveals to Nadeko that he was the one who had helped her obtain the cursed talisman that had led to her transformation, and that her feelings for him were not reciprocated. This truth shatters Nadeko's illusions and weakens her power.

As Koyomi and Shinobu are about to subdue her, they are interrupted by the arrival of Kaiki Deishu, a con artist who is known to have swindled many people in the past. Kaiki reveals that he had been hired by someone to kill Nadeko and that he had purposely manipulated her into becoming Medusa.

The episode ends with Koyomi and Shinobu facing off against Kaiki, while Nadeko lies unconscious in the background. The stage is set for an intense battle in the next episode, as they try to stop Kaiki from carrying out his evil plans.

Overall, Nadeko Medusa, Part 3 is an exciting episode filled with action, suspense, and a fair share of emotional moments. It brings together various plot threads from previous episodes and sets the stage for a climactic showdown in the upcoming episodes. Fans of the Monogatari series will not be disappointed with this installment.
