Re: Claymore Mega Convo

I dont think it is Riful because she appeared in the manga being very cheerful/playful, I dont see her "pointing" for Raki. There's nothing wrong with them having the cloaks to cover themselves -raki would still have had his cloak if the yoma hadn't grabbed it. It might be Priscilla - perhaps Isley wanted Raki and Priscilla out of the way for now so he can be more free to continue his plan.

on a side note, Galatea is pretty good looking in the nun uniform.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

I did a little collage for camparing the girl with Priscilla, imo it's just not possible that they're the same person, I don't think, that it's possible for the awakened ones, to change shape & size, at least it isn't shown up until now.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Nice work! But why is her identity kept secret? It brings a lot of doubt. If she has to be kept secret, that means readers are also aware of who she is. Who else can it be?

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

I don't get the comparison, PB. From the pic, there's no real elements we could compare, except probably size. We can't conclude from that picture because in the second image, she's completely hooded. We don't see her face, or her hair, or any other part except her feet and hands to say that they're different persons. Therefore, the kid being priscilla is still open.

That was my whole point the difference in size, havn't seen any awakened one who was able to change the size of it's original human body, as you can see, none of the shown a.o. had shown this feature, so I'm guessing it's just not posibble for them, and the sizedifference is imminent. I guess Raki & Isley are about the same size now. Can you see Priscilla next to Isley? Can you see her sitting on his shoulders? Imo she's just not small enough to sit on anyones shoulders, and again nothing was stated, that awakened ones can shape their human appearance, cause it's just the appearance they got, when they awakened.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

I think people considered that the awakened could change their form or size because of Riful? I don't think she was actually that childlike, considering she was a claymore before. Unless she was like Miata is now.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Yeah, but wasn't Riful considered the youngest #1 Warrior in history? Also she was simultaniously the youngest awakened one, so the size would fit.

No really they kept okas identity a secret in Gantz as well and it turned out to be a complete stranger.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Do we know if when in the manga there is the flashback about Clare and Teresa, Clare is telling the story to Raki?

 

[Neuroff]

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Clare couldn't be telling a story because there are events in the flashback that Clare has never seen.

Well it is a different manga here! Why keep it a secret if she is unknown? To create the same suspense?

 

[baboysai]

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

i think it had been discussed in the chapter discussion whether Raki knows about priscilla from Clare or not. But nobody seems to remember that Clare told him. I don't either.

Well yeah it is a different manga but the same thing might happen, all im saing is just because they kept someones identity unknown dosent mean it is someone we have already seen.

Well, it was constantly a one way conversation with Clare. She acts all tough and stuff. Raki was simply in her legs constantly. So in the time that they spent together, I don't think the name Priscilla was mentioned. Also, I think it is a secret about the whole AB, not smart to just spill it out to a kid.

well Raki is at least aware of AB's, i mean Clare explained it to him during that chapter where they introduced the black card system (where Clare had to kill the claymore who was awakening)

 

[baboysai]

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Raki's aware that Claymores become yoma, since he also witnessed Clare's struggles and even helped her through one, didn't he? In the Rabona arc. But I think that's as far as he knows, like he's not familiar that number ones could become an even more powerful being.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

Than I'll shut it forever....

Well, I was trying to say what you were saying Babo....but you could not have said it better than I did!

Thanks for reminding me e_kenshin, I have to re-read it again!

But at the time, I do not think he had the whole picture. Especially when he was trained by one of the AB lords. So he is still ignorant of all this.

But I do not think he heard about Priscilla, I'll check and I'll post back.

EDIT: Soooo, I did my little reasearch.

The only thing Raki knows is;

The black card
The ranking system
The Yoma transformation if a Claymore passes her limit.
He has seen an AB, but he was thought that they are voracious eaters.
That is about it.

I strongly think that he is currently with Priscilla, since in scene 55, he is a little taller than Priscilla.

And he grew tall and strong.

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

I think it's Isley's and Priscilla's child, at least I lean towards that assumption...

In this chapter, the one whose identity the author really wanted to hide is Raki and only Raki in order to create a kick-ass reappearing of the character from the director's point of view (if you compare it to a film), since it is he that has changed. Well, the kid could be Priscilla, or someone related to her, and she could also be changed, but at least for this chapter, Yagi chose to focus on Raki. So, until we see that the child is Priscilla and she has changed and thus has a reason to be cloaked, I will believe that the child was cloaked for the sole reason of not revealing the cloaked man's identity (Raki), and also maybe because it would have looked aesthetically stupid to put an unhooded child (which could probably remind the readers of something, e.g. Priscilla, and 'spoil' the cool reappearance of Raki) next to a hooded man.

I'm trying to point out that maybe there is no 'real' reason that the kid's identity was hidden!

Sorry for poorly used English, I hope I made myself understood...

Re: Claymore Mega Convo

btw, it hasn't been mentioned how yomas procreate... like, do they procreate like humans do? (since they are experiments, then maybe they're just created?) If so, how about AB ones?
