Of course its a flashback. They cant really just not show the main character for like 3 episodes now, and like everyone else said, the similar things are too many to be classified as coincidence.
She probably said that since she thought of theresa as family or a parent/sister figure rather than a friend, which makes sense considering the nature of their relationship.
Wow... Very nice episode. I liked the fighting as well.
Seems like next episode Teresa is going to unleash her yoma powers to fight against the 4 of them.
I thought the whole name thing just revolved around trying to prevent humans from creating relationships with Claymores, that's why Clare was so hesitant about letting Raki know more about her in the first place.
Wow another fantastic episode, and I'm glad they are sticking to this storyline, since the main one isn't as interesting. With the Claymore vs Clay element we get to learn about both sides of the battle and gain perspective on the specific charachters, with the Clare stuff it wass just Clare beats up the one-dimensional Yoma and then hangs out with Raki developing their relationship.
The battles looked excellent this time around, andI liked the explanation of why Teresa is the best, it's much like the Master Chief in Halo, even though she's not the best at any particular thing she's got the best head on her shoulders for dealing with anything. I can't wait to see if she goes Yoma mode to combat the other four. (While that scene with them all releasing their powers around her was cool it felt so DBZ that I just had to laugh out loud)
Master Chief is a dude I'm pretty sure, though we never see his face. You must've watched Haloid (which was kickass) :pQuote:

I meant to draw similarites between Teresa not being the best at any particular application of Yoma power but being the best at understanding the application and John-117's not being the best at any particular application among the SPARTAN-II's but being the best On-the-foot thinker of how to handle a situation.
Yeah I see, I did misunderstand. Maybe it was the sentence structure that got me or I just read blindy XD
the MC is the best for quit a few reasons most of all being all the other spartins died, the books are great, buy the way the idea of how the MC was created makes you understand hes not just some badass in a green suit.Quote:

Enough off-topic talk. Teresa >>>>> anyone else in anything else. period. Granted, I doubt she'll ever singlehandedly blow up an alien starship, but you can imagine she could if she released her yoma energy.
End of discussion. :)

Damn that was a shock i mean i dont know what to say that was a cold way to go out.
Don't really have much to say, except that they do a good job going from manga to anime on this one, Imo they'ved managed to keep the suspense and I really liked how they portaited Priscilla. I don't remember Noel and Sophia getting stabbed in the eye in the manga, but I don't really mind it.. Nice to see a anime that is a bit more violent then what I usually watch.
Also possible one of the best flashback stories I've seen.
Considering this episode I really wouldn't anymore put it past the Claymore organization to in fact be itself giving birth to the problem they are providing the answer to. After all, in this arc they effectively created a super monster just to bring down their best soldier who broke the rules under clearly mitigating circumstances (not to mention they lost all of their top 5 claymores in the process...). All in all, it must be a wicked organization, which considers its members expendable. Very intriguing! I hope we will soon learn more of it.
An excellent episode and a really shocking end to the arc, to be sure. Although of course I was expecting something this shocking, just had no idea what form it would take.
Yeah, it's funny how that if they had just let Teresa go, they wouldn't have an awakened being and still had numbers 2-5. So, they've just created another problem for them to deal with and now need to replenish their ranks with weaker fighters until some more come out, which obviously do.
Teresa was really powerful, would've been good to see if she hadn't been off guard.
I was surprised how many of you thought Teresa was going to come back as a villain. Instead, she pays the price for granting her opponents the mercy they deserve. Teresa truly was the strongest Claymore in every way. I'm still shocked at how swift Teresa's end was.
I loved the 'innocent' Pricilla and way execution was done . AND background music rocked!!!! it was so in the mood.
omg noooooooooooooooooooo! teresaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :'(
man, i hated and loved ths episode. when priscilla jerks her hand towards her sword, i thoguht she was throwing it away...and then you see teresa standing there missing both hands. it was such a shock.....i loved how it was an instant kill, instead of dragging it out to a battle, where you know the outcome already. this was a total surprise to me...i really thought teresa would've been a major part of the 'present' storyline.
Wonder why priscilla didn't eat clare....necessary plot device i guess. I loved her speech though, just after she transforms. "i want to tear open the stomachs of living humans, plunge my head into thier blood-filled intestines, leave no trace of meat behind"....that is fucked up on so many levels.
Teresa was indeed strongest in almost every way, except for maybe the most important part if you want to be a surviving claymore, which is heartlessness.
Yet Im glad she died because of what she chose to become, rather than losing in a real contest of strength. If she had any regrets, it would probably be leaving clare alone, for I think she would not regret learning compassion even if it did cost her life.
The other claymores were just really weak. Teresa and Priscilla were on a class of their own. I wonder if Clare will ever reach such a level. Is the present storyline a story of revenge then?
Clare obviously willingly joined the Organization (she's the only person to ever do so, stated in the manga and maybe earlier in the series) in order to take her revenge on Priscilla.
But more importantly, Priscilla's "awakening" has opened up a entirely new element to the story. What are Awakened Beings? How are they different from yoma? Only Irene seemed to know that was what Priscilla had become.
DAMN!!!! I'm glad I put down that manga I was looking at in the store after I saw Priscilla approaching her limit, I would have had to shoot myself if I'd ruined a surprise that awesome/terrible. It's so sad to see Teresa go, but when i think about it this was probably the best way that she could lose, as opposed having her win by stopping Priscilla's transformation, which would have been cool but I suspect, would have ground the plot to a halt. Now we have an explanation of Clares motives, but it sucks that the 5 most powerful Claymores were all lost with essentiually no intervention from Yoma. 'The Organization' really needs to work on its priorities.
