Good point about the last panel and the characters relative positioning indicating their importance/command status.
That being said, we havent seen Clare for 2 years (manga chapter time) so Yagi has...

Didnt Dietrich gain control over Riful's AF's and targeted the kittens? Would be an advantage if the ghosts arrive in time before Cassandra is fully powered up. Expect carnage anyways and more...

clare is probably having a mental war with prissy. they need her to beat the org. but that wont happen for awhile. the revolt vs the former no.1's will run take some time to tell.

Really have to wait for either the raws or the scans. The spoiler pics are only teasers, but it looks intense to get to that point for Riza. Don't think Roy has performed any medical alchemy or human...

IF Riza is still alive, it's possible to save her with medical alchemy w/o paying the toll. But Mustang isn't the medical type. Mei is Riza's only hope.

As far as human transmutation, wasn't there...

I would guess that the 5th alchemist would be either Marcoh or Mei. Marcoh has knowledge of making and destroying the p-stones, but Mai is an accomplished Xing alchemist. That's assuming the...

These were the 'named choices':

Thought 'Father" needed 5 special sacrifices. Think the original choices were Al, Ed, Izumi (was a question mark choice), Hohenheim, and Marcoh (not positive, but they wanted to keep him alive)....

What bothers me is that Clare already met Raphaela:

Why does Clare think this time will be a social call or that Raphaela needs to be saved, esp with her...

Naruto spamming smoke bombs makes sense against doujutsu/eye users. He can sense chakra now, so locating and fighting the target(s) while they are confused shouldn't be a problem and they can't sneak...

If Deva is out of the way, Naruto can do the 2 clone nature gathering thing as well as recharge himself. Time for some teamwork anyways, so the search parties will show up next chapter and Naruto can...

The villagers were evacuated out at the beginning of the fight. Only the shinobi's were left...pretty much a repeat of the Sound and Sand invasion.

Naruto needs Nagato or at least Konan alive....

^^^^Tenten's goals/dream were taken over by Sakura. Sakura was supposed to be a genjutsu type and an unlikeable character. Tenten said she wanted to model herself after Tsunade and Kishi had to have...

While true, Pain looks up at Naruto 'before' he stabs her. Try it, it's hard to hit a spot you want to hit if you are not looking at it directly. It's not like Deva Pain had his other bodies around...

Isley was an undeveloped character with a great design. Only at the end was when we learned his original plan and how that and he changed being around Priscilla and Raki did his character get rounded...

Everything depends on Viz, plus vol 14 has Clarice and Miata in it, sooo it's pretty close to catching up with it's Japanese counterparts, which released vol 15 in Dec 2008. Viz probably is...

Looks like Yagi is trimming down the AO's before the Ghosts begin their battle against the Org. Isley was under developed and Riful has been around since the Witches Maw arc and even let a few of...

That's true, but it only works with the 1st or Yamato. Naruto didn't have the crystal until he won the bet with Tsunade and he didn't show any tails until after he started wearing it...which is a bit...

Pain should have one last comeback move, probably will knock out 6-tailed Naruto. Nagato should be close to being finished too with his big time jutsu's. Naruto still has one Sage mode left to use.
...

Madara is say something like failure will not be tolerated to Pain, so Nagato and Konan don't have many choices. Either they bring back Naruto, die, or join Naruto. Might take a few chapters before...

The last 2 episodes wasn't that great and looked like they rushed the anime only ending. The deviation from the manga started in the last Witches Maw arc episode where they left out an important...

From the Pic and prelim trans, Nagato is about to kick the bucket unless Konan somehow protects/hides him and hopes he recovers. Wonder if he's going to get a flashback and show how he was put into...

Doesn't Yagi do it all by himself? If so, then monthly is the best we can expect. One would need a crew to help do a weekly and it's more pressure to meet the deadline. ~30 pages is good for a...

But that's days away, unless a few Konoha teams are close to the Rain border or that nin village/city and if they can find a few messenger birds. They will have to 'borrow' a few rain headbands to...

Sounds like a cue for Team Gai to show up. Gai and Lee's taijutsu to beat Fat Pein while Neji and (maybe) Tenten distracts Deva or finds Nagato and Konan...lol...

Does that mean Nagato will decide to fight Naruto straight up or decide to retreat and get some replacement bodies. Can't do much if Hell Pain isn't around to revive any of the bodies. Nagato must be...

Thanks for the DL. The zombies look unstoppable. The standing still trick can't be the only way to fool them. At the moment, Isley in in deep trouble and who knows if our Claymore trio is far enough...

^Well...Nagato must be a chakra beast too. He's powered 6 Pain bodies for who knows how long now and can give more chakra to whatever body needs it the most or just gives it all to one body to...

I would speculate that Naruto would be hidden somewhere collecting nature energy and powering up his KB's, similar to what the real Pein is doing with the transmission of chakra. Seems Pein is...

Looks like Naruto gets to complete his training instead of pulling a Skywalker and coming back too soon. He'll probably show up in a couple of chapters anyways since he's almost ready.

Well...I rather see the female ninjas go up against Konan than Lee. Somebody has to figure out her trick and how to defeat her. Probably would need to use some ninjutsu, like Jiraiya did, to at least...

Personally, I think Clare is #1 among the Ghosts. Remember what Flora said to Clare before their sparring session? Miria was the one that stopped sparring with Clare in the north and then announced...

Maybe Helen and Deneve will run into Riful instead of Clare's group (or even Raki/Priscilla, since they are closer). Would be a bit too much for Clare to run into Riful and then Raki and Priscilla...

Highly doubtful. Renee grabbed him and didn't notice any yoki as opposed to Priscilla when she held Renee's arm and Renee sweated bricks. That event pretty much confirms Raki is still human.

Raki...

It's been known that Yomas take in humans to be their playthings or become someone else...say a husband or wife. Wouldn't be a stretch if the little girl was an offspring and became an orphan later...

Think Ermita was in charge of both Galatea and Miria. He could be a suspect although most favor Rubel, since he seems to be everywhere esp when something interesting is going on or the Org needs...

Just wondering:
"Claymore Get into action with the silver haired Claymores as they fight against their sworn enemies!"

Shouldn't it say "silver eyed" and "blond haired"?

Sounds fake...too much is happening without resolving the Clarice and Miata situation first.

Don't think Yagi forgot, some artists do that if they want to convey a certain emotion better or clearer. Galatea's scar comes and goes all through the chapter. Not really a big deal or any...

The anime can end (this 1st season) at several different places...all of which would leave a cliffhanger for anime only viewers. It depends on how many chapters/volumes the animators blow...
