In the other timeline where Shinobu destroys the world, Araragi was killed by
Tsubasa. Why didn't she help him in that timeline? In both timelines, he
didn't find her so what was the difference?

How did Shinobu know where Araragi is when he was attacked by Tsubasa?


[This answer to another
question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/21830/7579) presents a case that
Shinobu slipped into Koyomi's shadow about five minutes into Tsubasa Cat Part
4, when Koyomi went to look for her at the Mister Donuts where Mayoi saw her.

If we accept that, everything else falls into place. In the alternate
timeline, with no Mayoi, Koyomi has no idea that Shinobu was at that Mister
Donuts. He's panicked by her sudden disappearance and overburdened by the
return of Black Hanekawa, so he forgets her love of donuts and never even
thinks to check the donut shop. Then, as in the main timeline, Black Hanekawa
finds him and offers to help look for Shinobu. Black Hanekawa attacks him when
he refuses Tsubasa's love, but unlike the main timeline, Shinobu is not in his
shadow, and he is killed. Shinobu later finds out and goes on a rampage,
turning everyone into zombies.
