but the oddity that Hitagi was inflicted by was the Heavy Stone Crab which
took away her weight which means she's weightless and sorta like being in
space so when she tripped she wouldn't fall down like unless someone gave her
a push after.

not to mention that when Araragi catches her he feels that she's weightless
which is how Hitagi's "secret" was found out by him

How does Hitagi fall if she's weightless?




As @AkiTanaka mentioned and by checking **Volume 1** of _Bakemonogatari_ , we
can see that she's not exactly weightless. She weighed 5 kilograms. To quote
from the light novel:

> You’ve noticed, haven’t you?...That’s right─ **I don’t weigh a thing..Well,
> it’s not as if I don’t at all** ─a girl my height and body type would have
> an average body weight in the high forties, in kilograms... **But my actual
> body weight is five kilograms**...Now, if you want to be completely
> accurate, it’s only that **a scale displays my weight as five kilos─I
> personally don’t notice it**....

Her saying she weighs nothing is just an exaggeration or a figure of speech.
She doesn't really weigh nothing, it's more like a hyperbole, since the
difference between 5kg and an average person's weight is noticeable.
