Claymore Chapter 90: A World Without Order - Review.
The Cast-
Claire- Our heroine. After a several month absence she returns to the spotlight. And she’s still a troublemaker.
Miria- The Ghosts leader. She’s going to be getting some bad news soon.
Galatea- Former Claymore, and now nun. She may be blind but she senses Yoki on an incredible scale.
Dietrich- The current number 8. Just when I thought I had her figured out…
Dauf- Riful’s lover. He’s as dumb as an ox, but as strong as they come.
Cynthia-Our sweet girl next door type stuck traveling with Claire. Also the healer.
Yuma- I love her, but she’s the weakest of the ghosts, and it shows this time…
Dietrich, Bearer Of News.
We open with the twins, Alicia and Beth powering up and taking off to go find and kill Riful. In Rabona, Miria and Tabitha sense this, and so does Galatea. But that’s not all our favorite Nun has sensed. She tells them that she thinks that Isley has died in the south. Tabitha is skeptical that Galatea can have such range, but Galatea reminds her that being blind has enhanced her ability to sense Yoki. Oh and that someone trying to hide their Yoki is coming to the city. A cloaked Dietrich is indeed approaching the city, but gets intercepted by Miria before she can find a way in. Dietrich has a message from Helen and Deneve. She fills them in about the events of the last few chapters, then leaves to return to the Organization.
Just when I think I understand Dietrich, it turns out I don’t. She repays her debt to Helen and Deneve here by taking a message to Miria, but is considerably more hostile to Miria than she was to them. It also turns out that Galatea and Dietrich know each other. Tracker Dietrich is her nickname, probably due to her tracking skills. She’s also very loyal to the organization. Odd then that she took the time to go off without Helen and Deneve. So was she just gathering Intel for the Organization? Or is she like Miria, putting up a loyal front? Perhaps her sense of honor and loyalty keep her working for the Organization. I have to wonder what her reaction would have been if Miria had just told her the Organizations secret. But now the gang in Rabona knows the situation, and I’m sure that Miria and Tabitha at least will be heading east. Oh and on a different note Tabitha changed her hair.
Tough Dauf.
Meanwhile, Claire, Cynthia and Yuma are hiding in a forest from Dauf. Unfortunately Yuma can’t keep her breathing quite and Dauf manages to catch her. Claire and Cynthia spring to the rescue, but the wind cutter can’t cut Dauf. Cynthia gets him to loosen his grip, but Dauf still manages to catch Yuma’s leg. With no way to hurt Dauf, Claire is forced to cut Yuma’s leg off and run for it.
Well, the trio runs into Dauf, and it goes poorly for them. Without releasing Yoki, they can’t hurt him, and it’s Yuma who gets the worst of it. Being the pragmatist Claire cuts off Yuma’s leg so they can escape. There are two things I find interesting though. One- How the hell did Dauf sneak up on them? Claire and Cynthia at least should have sensed his Yoki from miles away. Two- Dauf didn’t recognize Claire. Course he is that dumb.
Claire Goes It Alone
Having escaped the trio focuses on Yuma’s leg. Seems that Yuma isn’t that great at regeneration, so Cynthia is going to have some work ahead of her. Claire apologizes to Yuma, but Yuma tells her not to. Dauf had already crushed her leg. Claire announces that she’s going to follow Dauf to Riful and asks them to wait for her to return. Cynthia and Yuma ask if Claire wants to rescue Renee or Raphael. Claire says that’s not it, but that she feels she has to meet Raphaela.
Well the three escaped Dauf, and we find out that Yuma isn’t too good a regeneration. I find this odd as she did regenerate an arm during the northern campaign. Maybe it’s because her Yoki is suppressed? Claire never changes. She claims she isn’t the sort to risk her life for others, but as we’ve seen before she is. Just look back to the witches maw arc. It looks like Claire is going to leave Cynthia and Yuma at a safe place while she goes to Riful. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next.
Conclusion-
We shift our focus on to Claire and her current traveling companions. And they get themselves in trouble. Meanwhile we get to see the gang in Rabona, and Dietrich. This has left me somewhat confused about Dietrich. I’m sure that we’ll see her again at some point. I would imagine that Miria and Tabitha will take off to aid their comrades. I don’t think that Galatea, Miata and Clarice will go with them though. One things for sure, and major brawl is about to begin, and at least one faction will end up either severely weakened, or wiped out.
Winner of the Month-
Tabitha for her new hairdo. I considered giving it to Dauf for his showing in battle, but since he was mostly beating up on poor Yuma, I decided to disqualify him. Yuma needs a hug dammnit!
