Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 12 is scheduled to be released on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 10 pm JST. For international viewers, this translates to daytime availability on the same day — at approximately 6 am PT / 9 am ET / 1 pm GMT, although exact times may vary by location.

Expected plot in Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 12
Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 12 will be titled ‘Shinobu Mustard, Part Four,’ continuing the Shinobumonogatari arc. The episode is likely to focus on Araragi using his keen observational skills to uncover the identity of the vampire responsible for the recent killings.
Two possible outcomes will emerge: either Araragi successfully connects the clues to reveal the real vampire, or Ms. Kagenui, a feared figure capable of destroying immortal apparitions, enters the scene.Â
Araragi’s apprehension about Ms. Kagenui suggests that her arrival could lead to drastic consequences. Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 12 will likely build toward a significant cliffhanger, leaving the identity of the vampire and Ms. Kagenui’s involvement unresolved.
Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 11 recap
Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 11 is titled ‘Shinobu Mustard, Part Three.’ Araragi is transported to a heavenly realm where he encounters Acerola’s soul, existing before she becomes a vampire.
Acerola, not clothed but covering her face with a mask, reveals that her beauty was responsible for causing wars and destruction. She deduces that Deathtopia wouldn’t consume blood unless she personally killed the victim.Â
To defeat Deathtopia, Acerola kisses Araragi, and when he returns to the mortal world, he transfers her saliva to Deathtopia. This causes Deathtopia’s shriveled body to regenerate rapidly in Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 11.
Afterward, Araragi, Gaen, the Shrine Goddess, and Shinobu discuss the case. They find another body, ruling out Deathtopia as the culprit. They conclude that another vampire is impersonating Deathtopia, and they must find the real criminal quickly.
Monogatari: Off and Monster Episode 11 ends as Araragi grows anxious as the pressure mounts, knowing that if they fail, Ms. Kagenui will step in, potentially complicating matters.Â
