wow..... what a chapter! wonderful wonderful! Yagi rules!
1. very cool how clare realizes/lets us know about priscilla's weakness. priscilla is easy to damage, she's the opposite of Dauf. the problem of course is doing enough damage to "over-ride" priscilla's regeneration. the other problem is not getting killed by priscilla. this is where clare's realization and training in/of speed and combat skills comes in.
2. however, clare assumed she'd be able to awaken (and had no reason to not think so), in order to take on priscilla. so far, this turns out not to be the case, as she's having her complication still.
3. we learn that there's something going on between jean and clare, which is what is preventing clare from awakening.
maybe the "wedge" is actually a "barrier or shield" against awakening that jean gave to clare.
either:
jean had this "barrier or shield" pre/during-awakening and it was not merely her "willpower" keeping her mind human.
OR
jean acquired this "barrier or shield" after becoming a half awaken.
OR
jean wants clare to revert/save priscilla back into a Claymore/"human" !!!!
4. the manga seems to say that clare feels guilty. if clare were to fully awaken, then jean's sacrifice to save clare would have been for naught (or in vain).
the problem is that this doesn't explain why clare can't do her partial awakening at all now.
5. the manga also seems to actually be addressing clare's inability to forgive herself for how she just sat there as a human child, watching her beloved teresa's head fall to the ground and watching awakened priscilla walk by her, in utter fear and no hatred/rage towards priscilla, and unable to atone for it. (and now she's in that same situation again...though things are a bit different now.. hehe)
6. the manga also seems to talk about how jean would understand this same inability to forgive oneself, but i can't think of what in the world would jean not be able to forgive about herself, nor able to atone for.
only thing i could think of (actually i jsut did so now): is her fallen comrades to Dauf+Riful in witches maw and in the pieta battle.
7. helen+deneve was soo cool! either helen or deneve cut apart the huge projectile, causing it to launch its small rods at priscilla.
i don't understand where the two huge projectiles on either side of priscilla came from though, launching all those small rods into priscilla, making her into a porcupine (lol). if anyone can explain this to me, i'd be appreciative.
8. priscilla does NOT seem to happy with deneve and helen stealing away her prey/meal (clare)... deneve and helen (and clare) are in deep trouble....
9. wow and woot woot at yuma! if you ignore the pattern of her clothes, she almost looks like a surfer chick, laughs.
10. wow.... yuma reveals that she has just learned and able to yoki synchronize.
yuma seems to be splitting her yoki between herself and cynthia. (partial) soul link! so, cynthia's unique ability to enhance, is a (partial) soul link, flowing/splitting her yoki through another, just like yuma seems to be doing now with cynthia (but not quite at cynthia's level yet).
and then she says she needs time, to get back some of her own yoki into her body, to fight the hellcats.
yuma also has just learned and is able to regenerate too, as seen with cynthia's body being whole again.
11. dietrich shows up, and i'm positive miria and co is with her or they came west too, but might be splitting up, like maybe to help deneve, helen, and clare from priscilla, as at least dietrich (are the other claymores, audrey+rachel+maybe renee+nina with dietrich?) is going to try to help cynthia and yuma.
