Claymore 126 Discussion

Perhaps, Ancy, but we could even go the "Rescue the blob" route. I mean, it sounded like Rubel and Dae were going to go and capture it or something, in order to get some more experimentation on.

[Ancy]

Indeed it seems that Dae intends to capture and experiment on the blob, that is, if the ghosts don't get to it first. But, I was thinking about the techniques/methods they will use to release Clare and Priscilla. I assume that he wants to capture Priscilla (separated from the others), since he was very keen in finding more about the power of her detached arm.

True, he does want to separate them, so that he can experiment on Priscilla. Perhaps Dae will have some device created specifically for this purpose. Dae will also probably have some imprisonment/controlling method that will prevent Priscilla from attacking him, but that sounds a bit unrealistic.

I REALLY hope that Yagi won't chose to use the "rescue the blob" route,since that would basically means months ( or YEARS!!!!) without Claire and Prissy in an active way (i know Yagi could show us the mental-world again,but it's not the same thing,unless it's an all-out fight against each others).
On the contrary i hope that Yagi will free those two (or 3?) one way or another VERY SOON.
Dae,Raki,Cassy or whatever, as long as Claire returns to be the focus of Claymore i'm happy 'cause imo the story was a lot better that way.

Well, Claire was the protagonist, so the story will always be better with her. Miria sort of became the protagonist for the last 25-30 chapters. We definitely need Claire back.

On the plus side, Yagi's art in Claymore is a lot better than it was in Angel Densetsu.

I agree with you here frosty, we really need clare back. I really hope dae decides to open the blob to examine prissy
The story hasnt been the same without clare...

[Brother Coa]

Clare IS one of the most carrying character in series, we all saw that in Chapter 2 when she decided to take on 5 yoma's alone to save the lives of few people who would definitively die by the time the other Claymores arrive. Then we have her taking Raki with her and watching over him, saving Galk and Sid, being surprised at Ophelia for her attitude toward humans, deciding to help her comrades while on the run and so on...
In fact, when you think about it, almost all Claymores are good-natured and carrying persons. It seems that fact comes from the tragedy that happened in their past and the sacred duty they were given by Organization ( well up until now at least ). Rarely who among their ranks showed the opposite ( Ophelia and Roxanne being one of them ).

@Yomaslayer 95 I do hope to that they will do something about Clare now that Organization is dealt with. Releasing her and Priscilla now would be an interesting set of development.

I think it would be a good idea to ship the blob over to the mainland and release Priscilla there. Kinda like "Here, we are giving you back your experiments. Have fun waging your war with her around."

[Yomaslayer 95]

That would be hilarious, but i don't think the story is going to progress that way, Yagi is probably saving the DoD's and mainland for after clare deals with prissy.
But fact is we really don't know how the story will continue, it could go anywhere from here.

[Blazeoptimus]

Like everyone else I'm waiting for them to get back to Clare. I think the story of the Warriors rebellion was necessary, but it's more of a subplot.

As to what we'll see when they're released - I think Yagi is planning some sort of twist. However Clare emerges, I think it's safe to say she won't be the same. I also find it telling that Yagi has gone to a lot of trouble to make Priscilla not pure evil. At many points in the story she displays a level of humanity that's uncommon for an awakened being ( she spared the little girls in the towns she attacked, she didn't eat Raki or humans for years on end, and when sh finally made her appearance, she managed only to eliminate awakened beings). While I realize there wasn't a lack of effort on her part to kill the ghosts, the fact that she didn't makes you hate her less. He wrote Irene (who tried to kill theresa), and Ophelia in a similar fashion.

Also, my guess is that Dae will use Renee to track down the blob. We haven't seen her since her escape from Riful, and she'd be a good candidate to track it down.

I have a bunch of other thoughts on what Raphela was hiding (yoki synchronization being used to turn back awakened beings? Priscilla not the real enemy??). But it's all 'way out there' speculation. What do you guys think? And in what chapter will we see it?

[Yomaslayer 95]

I agree with the subplot being necessary, but renee tracking down the blob? It seems to me dae already knew where the blob was.
And about renee, wasn't she presumed dead? I mean if she was alive we probably would have gotten a hint from Yagi one way or another...
Anyway, about prissy displaying a level of humanity, that is something other AB's show too. It's not really a unique thing, Isley being the prime example.
All AB's were human once so this isn't so strange

[Claymore1]

She didn't spare the girls in the towns, she killed everyone. She only spared Clare (for some strange reason. I don't know what it was but it made priscilla not even see her).

She also didn't eat humans only to gain Raki's trust so that she could travel with him. It was part of her evil plan to find the source of the scent that once clung to him (Clare). And no she didn't just eat the ABs, she ate everyone that was in the town she destroyed. The town where she left Raki. She had no more use for him and continued feeding on anything she could get her hands on.

[Yomaslayer 95]

All these points i completely agree with, altough i thougt prissy did leave the young girls behind in the villages she destroyed.
Mainly because ophelia also survived prissy's onslaught. Ah well never mind that, the manga panel convinced me otherwise.

Her older brother stayed behind and was killed so that she could get away. He distracted priscilla long enough for Ophelia to get away. He sacrificed his life for his little sister. And her inability to handle that made her a psycopath.

[Yomaslayer 95]

I knew that, just had to refresh my memory that's all
it must have been really difficult to leave her brother behind like that, and that shows in her personality...
