Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread
I'm guessing that the pills merely do articially the same as what happens when Claymores naturally suppress or don't use their yoki for years like (exiled/banished) Rafaela, (deserters/awol/hiding) Irene and Galatea, and (ghosts) Miria, Cynthia, Deneve, Helen, Tabatha, Yuma, and Clare.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i guess that the pills had worn off by the time/during Miata's battle with Galatea/Agatha, allowing her to use her yoki.
OR, Miata used her sheer raw physical power to over-ride the pills and release her yoki...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Miata did actually regenerate (and not merely re-attached her hands)...
I think Miata is like Priscilla, neither of them actually regenerate per se, but their sheer amount of power/energy has a side effect similar to regeneration.
Though, the manga doesn't show the level of reaction if this is true of Miata, like it showed with Isley+Rigardo, when Priscilla's horn and rest of her damaged/destroyed body suddenly was whole/"re-appeared"... and then Priscila's "oozing" tentacles nearly annihilated Isley. "half his body destroyed in an instant".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
could not the yoki suppression pills be a cure, as well as prevention, for Awakening/Awakened?
Awakening is prevented by reducing the yoki release. Galatea helps Clare reduce her yoki, preventing her from Awakening during the witches maw chapters. Clare then does the same for Awakening Jean in during the same witches maw chapters. Jean then does the same for Awakening Clare after she killed Rigardo in the Pieta battle.
so wouldn't the yoki suppression pills be great for this?
also, there's the possibility that the MiBs are male claymores as they've been living for at least 100 years... yet they haven't awakened like the rest of the male Claymores... yoki suppression pills?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
about Priscilla:
she's exactly the same power now in chapter 99 as when she awakened after decapitating Teresa so long ago.
maybe, she's learned to use her awakened body and its powers/abilities more, but there's no indication that she is more powerful.
She certainly wasn't very serious against Irene, Noel, and Sophia, compared to her now against Alicia+Beth and Dauf+Riful.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i got a theory/idea that once (permanent) awakening occurs, they can no longer improve or get more powerful.
for example, if they could.... wouldn't isley (the oldest) be at least as powerful as priscilla is now?
my idea is that the yoma mind is limited, whereas the human mind isn't. the human mind enables the being to improve and become more powerful. when actual (permanent or succesful or completed) awakening occurs, the mind is taken over by the yoma half, becoming a yoma mind. this yoma mind prevents the being from improving and becoming more powerful.
whereas, Claymores and Half Awakens, still have their minds controled by their human half. they still have human minds, allowing them to improve and become more powerful.
my understanding:
a Claymore's body is a body made up of half human and half yoma. HOWEVER, in using/releasing yoki, the yoma half is activated and it takes over or over-takes the human half, and changes into the body of a yoma, which enables greater powers and abilities.
0% yoki = original human colored eyes (ONLY achievable through yoki suppression pills, years of not using/releasing yoki, or actually being a human, lol, and not a Claymore)
1-9% yoki = silver eyes (Claymore eyes)
10-29% yoki = golden/yelow eyes (Awakened eyes)
30-49% yoki = changing face (Awakened face)
50-79% yoki = changing body (Awakened body)
80% yoki = Awakening process (Awakening brain/mind)
80-100% = Awakened Being / Awakened One (Fully Awakened body, including especially the brain/mind. NO longer a "human minded" Claymore)

Priscilla is actually quite interesting...
her body seems to be similar to Riful's
if you look at ch 98 page 29 where Priscilla is battling Alicia+Beth, Priscilla gets damaged and you can see that inside her body (like her back and right lower leg) seems to be a mass of tentacles inside... (unless, that's just her regenerating...)
I was reading the onemanga trans. It still is impressive, but nearly as. Now it makes much more sense. I found C-net's trans, which said about the same thing as 10sighs.
