But my impression is this - Yagi saved them all so that he could sacrifice one of them later, this is ideal for real tragic experience ( liek the one we had during Pieta arc when Flora, Undine, Veronica and Jean died ). Claymore has been widely known and loved because of those dark and death scenes ( Elena, Noel, Sophia, 3 Claymores with Jean, 4 Claymores sent to North, 17 Claymores sent to North ), and since Pieta arc only Alicia, Beth and Rene ( still unconfirmed ) died. While Ghosts survived trough many death situations only to be saved by miracle ( Uma almost died until Dietrich came to help her and when Clare cut her leg, Cynthia almost died when Awekened Beth blow half of her body, Helen and Deneve almost died twice, Clare almost died agaisnt Priscilla, Miria almost died against Organization, Raki almost died at that village whe nhe was hit by destroyer, Galatea/Miata/Clarice almost died against Agatha and Ghosts almost died against 3 Abyssal Ones at Organization ).
This all just proved that they now have very thick plot armor. But now, seeing how they will face Priscilla in battle there is a possibility that Yagi kept them alive thus far only to kill some of them in the end to return some tragedy to the series. Even if this is not final arc of the story I have a felling that someone will die now, probably from the main cast. I had a liberty to written my opinion for those who I think might die in this battle:
On that point I think that Yagi won't kill Galk, Cid, Uma, Cynthia, Tabitha and Galatea. The ones who he might kill are in my opinion:
-Clarice/ Miata after some time : that would make Miata to gone berserk and destroy everything in her path, eventually dying herself while trying to damage Priscilla as much as she could. This one would be extremely sad but it would have desired effect like Jean's death, and thus making manga darker again.
-Deneve : this one is totally possible, she die trying to protect someone from dying and as a result suffer mortal wound that she cannot regenerate. Helen of course go berserk to and try to fight but she is wounded to, but survives to see the end of battle. Later she mourns her lost comrade and close friend and join Galatea to serve as sister in church.
-Helen : Same like with Deneve's death.
-Miria : most possible death no.1 Miria tried to fight Priscilla but she is heavily wounded, in meantime Clare continues to fight and the crucial moment arrives. In that moment Miria makes one last move and move Clare away and take killing blow herself, after that Clare takes advantage of situation and kills Priscilla. Miria dies with smile on her face because she finally destroyed the Organisation and set all Claymores free. Tabitha is of course devastated because of that and as a reminder of her fallen captain she take Miria's sword while Mria is burred with Tabitha's sword as grave marker.
-Raki : most possible death no.2 Similar scenario like Miria, Raki uses his body to shield Clare from fatal blow. Clare is devastated and release her full power witch in return activates her hidden Teresa's power and she utterly destroy Priscilla like she destroyed Rigaldo in North. Raki dies on her hands with his last word being that he loves her and that he is sorry that they won't continue their travels any longer. Clare is devastated by Raki's death and she felt guilt for his death in the years that will come.
-Clare most possible death no.3 It's rather simple, Clare sacrifice herself to defeat Priscilla and dies in Raki's hands in the end. But before she die she die with smile with her last words being to Raki what Teresa said to her all those years ago: to live as a Human and die as a Human. Raki is devastated but takes her words to his heart and continue to live normally, get married, get children but he never forgotten Clare who's grave he visit regularly with all other survivors of that battle.
So what are your opinion about this subject?
