Hi. What episode was this? I could not remember Hanekawa punching Hachikuji. If I recall correctly, wasn't Hachikuji with Araragi in most of her scenes since he's the only one who can see her?

Just realized this is only in the light novel, but in the anime Hanekawa only lightly knocked Hachikuji's head. I guess it is out of character after all.

Okay. I have not yet read the light novel (only seen the anime) so I'll defer to people who might be able to provide a better answer :) It just surprised me because I could only recall Araragi being physical with Hachikuji, and he was one of those, if not the only one, she interacted with a lot.

Right, but Hanekawa in ep 4 can see Hachkuji, partly because she does not want to go home that day.

Hanekawa also smacks Hachikuji in ch. 12, in the same scene. I'm assuming this was supposed to be a light smack to reprimand her, rather than a "punch," but I don't remember the scene in _Nisemonogatari_ so don't have a good point of comparison.

When Hachikuji was first introduced in *Bakemonogatari*, there was this scene where Hanekawa punched Hachikuji. I feel that's pretty out of character especially after seeing more of her personality in the later part of the series. I took it as just a comic relief.

In *Nisemonogatari*, however, Hanekawa stopped Araragi from hitting Karen when Karen got reckless.

Are there other evidences showing that Hanekawa punching Hachikuji is not out of character?
