Re: Claymore 143 Spoilers Hats off to Clarice. Why did a vision of Roxy appear? Was Cassie remembering something about her?

Not sure Irene hated Teresa. Even if she did it doesn't follow that Clare should dislike Irene. Also, in the fit to fight chapter, Clare makes it clear that revenge is her way of moving forward, and that's what makes her 'fit to fight'. She thinks she doesn't have a choice, because if she didn't...

Re: Claymore 141 Spoiler Thread Did Europa just take a bite out of Sid? :gwah

Re: Claymore 140 Discussion / 141 Predictions I basically don't disagree with anything you said BrotherCoa, and Nanozom, I'm not making a judgement on whether it's good or bad or ridiculous, but just trying to come up with a possible explanation that fits the evidence this chapter. The two...

Re: Claymore 140 Discussion / 141 Predictions Well yeah not death for death's sake. But death and the threat of death as one of the most intense, or ultimate forms of drama that comes at an important point when the author has carefully developed the personalities of characters, the setting of...

Re: Claymore 140 Discussion / 141 Predictions There is a difference between the Rigaldo and Europa situations, though. Rigaldo came in relatively quickly and at quite an advantage in strength to the other AB's, so there was a lack of proper mental/strategic preparation for him, plus he was fast...

Conjecture: Rubel wants Daae dead, but he wants it done after he's gathered as much info as possible about the results of the Org's project. That's why he's hanging around Daae now. Last chapter he thought he had all the info on Priss and wanted to leave (I wonder what he was going to do....?)...

Re: Claymore 139 Discussion/ 140 Predictions This will be the catalyst for the birth of Claresa!!! None shall compare to the might of the twin goddesses!!

Re: Claymore 139 Discussion/ 140 Predictions I guess you could explain it, including what Riful meant there (if the translation is accurate), if awakening was a process that has a beginning and end. Then half-awakening would be a started, but halted and not complete procedure. A HA has not...

Re: Claymore 139 Discussion/ 140 Predictions ^ I was wondering about this too. Maybe it could go either way. But it seems natural, if the final showdown is going to be between Clare and Priss, to get all the possible interference out of the way first with some cool battles. It also seems...

Re: Claymore 139 Spoiler Thread I agree with the general thrust about Clare/Priss, the potential is there for it to get pretty crazy, but it isn't necessary for a resolution. But personally I want to see it get insane because I want to know what the full extent of youki application might look...

Yeah, Dae would be trembling with delight to get his hands on a specimen like Riful (or what was left), he wouldn't miss an opportunity like that. But insofar as having a hand in Riph....I don't know, because it's like he'd have to know about Riful and Dauph's relationship in order to know...

these are good points for sure but I think the truth of these claims all rest on the question of how original/unique the claymore experiment is. We can probably say for certain that half-awakening (like you pointed out) and Priscilla's endless youki (along with Riph's siphon ability) are new and...

If in the beginning the other mainland faction sent only Rubel to the Claymore continent that likely means they recognized it as, at first, only having the potential to be determinative of the outcome of the mainland war, and wanted Rubel to keep tabs on it and perhaps prevent it from becoming a...

I think Teresa was neutral about humans in the sense that she did not hold prejudice about what humans could do or be. She knew in fact that humans could do harmful things to other people, via her parents and probably a lot of the other stuff she had seen. So she is really under no illusions...
