Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread Serpico: Try Gunslinger Girl, which ended some time ago. The character lines and associates are somewhat similar to Claymore with females having male handlers. It's poignant and heartfelt. It emphasizes the need to live your life to its fullest, as it comes to...

Re: Claymore 154 Spoiler That last panel reminded me so much of the Marked for Death Arc. Recall that Teresa's handler had called for reinforcements to quickly dispatch his charge. We see four or five warriors surrounding Teresa. A panel later, we see all of the warriors wounded and unable...

Re: Claymore 152 Spoiler Some parts of this chapter feel awkward but I like that Yagi has chosen another path for Priscilla. All this time, we thought her fixation on Teresa centered on her hatred for her. All along, it was her self loathing that drove her to the source of this lingering...

Hi Number A: I don't believe that the awakening process increases a warrior's sexual appetite. However, I do believe that the process is probably a release of withheld emotion and stress. Warriors must maintain mental control to prevent this eventual process. The constant vigilance must...

Hi Nanozom: I'm on board with your train of though in this matter. I'll put this out for you. When did Clare gain this ability to Soul-Link, if your hypothesis is correct? I remain unconvinced that the awakening of Teresa through Clare came about from the small amount of flesh that made her...

Serpico: I don't understand your train of thought here. Just because I don't necessarily agree with what Yagi has done, doesn't mean that I did not enjoy the chapter, nor does it mean that I want an endless string of pointless battles. Why have the conflicts? What motivated these outcomes...

Hello Elandyll: I don't know if "cheapens" is the correct term. At least for my part, I find the story less genuine with Teresa's return. It's not that I do not like the character, as a matter of fact, I find her Arc to be one of the most endearing of the entire chapter. Even though...

I needed help to understand it, as it uses metaphors unknown to me to convey its message. However, I think it best describes Clare. Song - Flume Artist - Coeur de Pirate (Pirate's Heart) / Beatrice Martin **Originally written by Bon Iver**

Hi Utusne: Teresa or Teresa's form making a grand entrance definitely has shifted our attention. Could it truly be the other Twin Goddess or is she merely the physical representation, absent her soul. It's nice having something of such importance that pulls us away from the mechanics of the...

Finally got to read an English translation through Mangastream. Can't speak to its accuracy but brought me greater understanding a perspective to the current chapter. In the early chapters, Yagi introduced the two Goddesses Clare and Teresa. I initially took it at face value and paid no...

Re: Claymore 149 Spoilers We will need to wait for a reputable and trustworthy translation to fully understand this chapter. Purely from the graphics, it appears to me that Priscilla has absorbed Cassandra and even has "Destroyer" like abilities. Remember the scene where the Destroyer...

I think you have to examine the story from different perspectives. If you had led the solitary life of a warrior, you might just cherish what you see lacking within your life. Warriors enter towns to kill Yomas. People live in towns. They see the bonds forged between individuals and...

Re: Claymore 148 Spoiler You're one gifted bastard, Goral, for saying that shit. Having said that, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I really don't want to see any of the Ghosts die, even the lesser important characters. However, it simply wouldn't be Claymore and true to Yagi's initial...

Hi Guys: What do you make of Raki's last statements. The last panel explains how he managed to finally strike Priscilla. Specifically, he states that he disappeared from Priscilla's consciousness. Does he mean to say that Priscilla no longer perceived him as a threat and disregarded him or...

Hi Goral: Tabitha is most likely dead, judging by the wounds. However, as you have stated, warriors appear to make "miraculous recoveries." I honestly don't have a problem with warriors surviving but I do have concerns with Yagi's execution in the development of the story. If he wanted to...
