Yeah, this is quite obvious. Would be nice if they would jump right into the Organization to find out about Miria death/alive, but I feel it will be 1-2 more chapter before we see that. Detriech and the saving of Anastasia might be a key role to getting the other Claymore to form rank with the Ghost.

[HegemonKhan]

that would be crazy!

regardless of whether this happens or not, I can't wait for ch 111!

I am so excited, Claymore has been getting more and more interesting with every chapter, and the suspense now is almost unbareble (can't spell, V.V)!

It's going to be a very good New Years! And we can all guess all of our New Year's Resolutions .... READ Claymore CH 111 immediately! LOL

[Ryus]

Anyways... CHAPTERS OUT!!! (I count 23 pages)

I guess Anastasia's true power is hair regeneration and Hair Control.

Anyone want to bet she has the same power Riful did ages ago?

[Moie]

Yeah... just reread ch110 and 111 and...
1) seems as if "creepy corpse keeper" is gonna do something with the #1 corpses
2) Deneve is so damn badass

the male awakends:
- were not hit by those poles. If they were, the claymore stabbed would have shown signs of transforming. Only flaw in my point is it might be too early to confirm.
- are not original male claymores from the obvious fear in their voices and brute-like manner after awakening. None talked too.
- Are they really awakened? Do they have something to do with "creepy corpse keeper"? (sorta kinda doubt it...)

Anastasia's technique... kinda garbage. You're gonna lose all that lovely hair plus, it sorta seemed like a suicide move? i really didn't get it.

Also, anyone else forsee future baggage for Deneve&co. ? Just sayin...

[Fê - forever alone]

In this chapter we have seen that the relationship between warriors are still strong. We've seen it with Audrey and Rachel, but I think it's good to know that they are not the only ones that were not "robotic".

On second thought, Dietrich also cared too much about her partners, so that's not good news, although there is a "great" difference between each of these warriors. Anyway, I liked the chapter and liked to know that things have not changed nearly as much seemed to have. Now the question is whether Anastasia and her group follow the same lines of Dietrich or Audrey.

Will they be friends and try to destroy the organization together, or will just close their eyes for a moment and then they attack them?

Interesting to know that Anastasia doesn't fly, lol. And what about that hair, huh?! As many predicted, her skills had to do with her hair.

Well, for those who complained that we had no more fighting and action, finally a great chapter?

Anyway, I still can't think of those male AB as normal ones. They're strange, maybe new breed? Or mutations? I don't know.

[wickedsmile]

This chapter is just straight fighting without much interaction between the warriors. I don't think anything new has been revealed apart from the true nature of Anastasia's abilities. We already know that the warriors form friendships that they will care for each other, even current generation counterparts. I wonder if Yagi is penning the more important parts while holding us off with this chapter. It's one of the less, if not the most, emotionally removed chapter so far.

far away, i can hear yagi laughing

[zushiko]

I didnt think that this chapter will be released sooner. I was really excited and then . . . ugh. . . that was it?

Nothing much on this chapter. What did Nike do to Phina and Keira? They thought Deneve was awakened(lol coz he looked like a man). Nike she didnt sense that the awakened ones near her are almost destroyed. She was like "whats happening?" and yet she's #15.

If Anastacia's technique were to be known by the enemy(ies) it becomes useless(according to her) and her swordsmanship isnt really that good. Somebody said Anastacia could kick Eva's(#7 of Clare's era) butt so easily. I dont think I would agree to that because I think Eva was more powerful than Anastacia (considering that shes more powerful than Flora and less than the power of Miria but I dont really have a basis coz they didnt tell about Eva's power or technique.)

Sorry if its kinda off-topic though.



I will just look forward to the next chapter.

[Ryus]

First off it was me who said Anastasia was stronger.

Second I still think so... lets face it Eva just stood still and whined that being attacked by 30 ABs made so sense, as if whining would some how make them go away. She literally thought on the matter so long and hard that it killed her. She even acted as confused as Kiera did this chapter... she saw something she didn't understand so stood still and hoped it wouldn't get her, I swear it's the deer mentality when they see headlights coming there way. So lets face it, Eva would act just as stupid when she sees Anastasia "flying".

[Joe7133]

This chapter is the result of Yagi drinking and celebrating Christmas and New Year too much. With all the juicy plot on 109 and 110, chapter 111 is somewhat rather disappointing.

What the heck is the hair thing anyway. Didn't make sense at all! Seem like Yagi had too much to drink and just pull one out of the @ss! Too much unnecessary fight and run-away seen that didn't make sense. The sword thrown to one of the AO head must be by Yuma! LOL!

I would prefer Yagi ending with 8 more pages of the Ghost talking with Anastasia group. I guess this will happen in the next chapter. Here goes one more month of waiting.

[HegemonKhan]

my responses/comments:

1. Tangled movie + Sasuke (using his own thin wire-threads, mostly seen when he was as a child) in Naruto manga, inspired Anastasia, lol. Yes, we learn the "secret" to Anastasia's "flying". She uses her hair strands+yoki to attach it to her targets, which is strong enough to support a Claymore's weight (such as or only hers) and invisible except that it gives off yoki which can thus be detected by yoki as well, that she "walks"/moves on, seemingly making her "fly". Her strands of hair aren't strong enough to actually stop an ABs movement, it only allows her to walk, move, and travel on them.

I don't think Anastasia has to worry about losing her hair out. I'm sure she can easily and quickly grow back any/all the strands of hair that she uses, hehe

2. I wouldn't be too hard on Eva, Ryus. She was facing the "stronger" 30 male ABs of the ~ ranks 4-26. She and only 3 other Claymores as a single AB hunting squad. How could she do anything, when 24 Claymores from ranks 6-47 weren't going to survive either, even with 5 powerful HAs (they were killing some ABs, but the ABs were killing more of them. And then of course Rigardo lost his patience and didn't like having lost already the amount of ABs killed by them). Eva's and her 3 Claymores' deaths were inevitable. I'm sure she knew that. Also, there seemed to be a blizzard/snow storm blocking Eva and the 3 Claymores from seeing the 30 ABs clearly as well. Any Claymore hunting party would have displayed the same helplessness, as not even Miria's (possibly it's hers, though personally I think it's Rubel's, who told it to her, along with giving her the pills, and telling her about what happens if they were to only take halved pills, and etc) great strategy and 24 Claymores could defeat these 30 male ABs.

3. Meh, with how heavy the current chapters have been, I'm not surprised Yagi gave us and himself a "break/resting" chapter, and to build up our suspense by making us wait with the more heavy/mysterious plot schemes/paths. This also, gives him more time to work on the next chapter, 112, which could mean it'll be a really good one. Usually we call such "break/resting" chapters/episodes, as "Fillers". And, it's not completely pointless, as (seemingly) obviously the Ghosts + rebel Dietrich and Anatasia are going to hook up (at least I don't foresee any hostilities that are going to occur between them at this point), so it makes sense to do a chapter to introduce even more Anastasia and her 3 Claymores more to us.

4. I think there were actually more ABs who were ambushing the running away Phina and Keira, which is what they were talking about, as well as at the same time that Deneve and group showed up, and presumably that "leg shot" was a leg of one of them in Deneve's group, though it would probably be Deneve's own leg itself, as she is the leader of them, lol.

It's not the overwhelming odds I fault Eva for but how she handled herself when facing very bad odds, most choose fight or flight (and both are acceptable there, but Eva didn't quite do either... and I fault her for that). Now, Anastasia may have not been as overwhelmed as Eva but she was also in a hopeless battle and knew she was likely about to die. However unlike Eva, Anastasia stood her ground & fought as best she could, all the while trying to use her own life to buy time so her friends could escape with there lives. She thought & acted quickly on her feet and wasn't phased by the overwhelming chance that she was likely about to die. Eva's lack of any action proved she couldn't handle the pressure and therefore may have had power to achieve her rank but not much beyond that in terms of fortitude and thinking under pressure. Both earned there ranks and but only one had the constitution, fortitude, and quick thinking to go with the rank. Since nothing is known about Eva beyond her rank, her lack of those is a serious detriment to any claim that she is the stronger. Yes, she could be stronger but so what if she is the panicky type, not too bright, and didn't know of Anastasia's ability. Both are pretty close to each other in terms of power, with those advantages in Anastasia's court it's her battle to lose, baring some godly special attack that Eva could potentially have (but arguing such is kinda pointless).
