Manga: Claymore

[Munsu]

Damnit Yuki, I haven't finished the anime yet you piece of shit!!!!!!!!

Lol, for some reason I've been hesitant to finish the anime... maybe I should. Should I? Last episode I saw Clare was kicking Rigardo's ass.

Anyways, it was obvious it was going to be Priscilla with him. Glad to see Riful, and this Rene chick seems cool. More and more I start to think that at some point Riful and Clare will work together.

Is [Whatever] better by the way? I didn't try them when they came out because I thought it was some random shitty speedsub.

[Death BOO Z]

wait, so they killed the black chick? so fast, so soon? we didn't even get to see her moves.

and at least it doesn't seem that raki is a complete idiot, woot. we need more training flashbacks.

[animus]

The yoma said she captured her.

[Yukimura]

I'm probably doing you a favor Bud, after the manga faithful eps with Rigardo the anime diverges and becomes an utterly crappy action anime 'resolution' that doesn't actually resolve anything, but at the same time kills any real hope that the true story can ever be brought onto video. Think Hellsing TV, just with all the fake nonsense packed into the last 4 eps instead of half the series.

As to Whatever they have really good cleaners (they do very clean D.Gray-man and Gantz releases) however sometimes their typesetting is a bit too small, but this seems to vary between releases. The typesetting, translation, and cleaning were all better than the garbage I posted earlier but I can't speak to whether they were better than FH's.

@topic:
Riful has been looking for someone good at sensing all this time, and it seems Rene is good enough for whatever it is she has in mind. Chances are she'll try to force her to awaken, and hopefully then recruit her into whatever nefarious scheme she's got cooking.

[Ryllharu]

When Riful met up with Clare again, it did not seem like she cared whether Clare was fully Awakened or not, Riful would take her in. It's true that Clare is an exception being semi-Awakened already, but it seemed like Riful had switched her priorities from the first time we met her.

Before she was building an army of Awakeneds to combat with Isley's troops. After she came into contact with Priscilla, her strategy changed. She was looking for those good at sensing yoki. Clare and Galatea were the ideal in her mind. (She'd take Tabitha if she knew about her too).

Would Awakening Rene fully hurt Rene's ability to sense yoki? She specializes in speed rather than sensing.

...or perhaps she is back to wanting really strong Awakeneds loyal to her.

[shinta|hikari]

I finally gave in and gave up the idea of a decent anime sequel for this and read the manga.

I think Riful is still trying to find someone with good sensing abilities, and I don't think awakening would hurt such an ability, but rather improve it. If I remember correctly, it was Clare's inexperience before that forced her to lower her own Youki to improve sensing. Even if Rene is mainly speed, her other characteristics should not deteriorate with awakening.

Tabitha is probably the best candidate for Riful. Great sensing, with half the arrogance/willfulness/stubbornness of Galatea and Clare.

the new stuff
here

I'll edit this after reading.

[Yukimura]

I liked this one, pretty much nothing happened but character development and plot revelations yet it was still quite enjoyable. With the new revelation about them main land I don't see what purpose Raphcilla would serve unless he's planning to to let Riful and her pets duke it out with Isely while the band of seven takes on the organization. How Clare and Raki will fit in is pretty much up for grabs but I'm pretty sure Clare and Raki will cross swords at least once when she realizes who he's traveling with.


I have a feeling Raphcilla

[Death BOO Z]

actually, doesn't this mean that Riful isn't after Miata? we all assumed that Riful is trying to create a 2nd Priscilla by controlling Miata's energy. but that has gone down the drain.

Raki is going to fight the two girls accompanying Claire, whatever their names might be.

M-S version of vol 11 & 12

something I've noticed.
the english version refers to the new eye as "Reene", (the scans said Lune), which means that rene from the past few chapters is their eye. she seems a little un-adequate after Galicia and Terraca.

A stupid question, who are Reene, Galicia and Terreca?

[Ryllharu]

Rene, Galatea and Teresa.

Though Teresa was never an "Eye." She had less range than Galatea, but her sensitivity was astronomically higher. In the Organization, the Eye serves as an observer and a scout. Teresa was their #1, sent on the hardest missions.

Galatea was highly ranked due to her side ability of deflecting/manipulating Yoki within a foreign body.

Claymore c83 by FreyaFa <- Link is to some obscure advertisemnet related hosting site b/c the scan group is begging for money and I can't upload it to a better mirror atm.

P.S this chapter rocked.

[Death BOO Z]

what happened here?
why the hell is claire holding 2 swords (page 28)?

wait, nevermind, I saw it.
crappy quality, though. this kind of chapter deserves better.

heck, Rubel is back, and he's one of my favorites.

Cynthia throws her Claymore at the AB to cut its wings. I guess Clare caught it then.
The second time we see Clare with both claymores, Cynthia is behind and we do not see her claymore as with Yuma, although we see her tighs.

So Rubel isn't afraid of coming here, in beetween 3 uber claymores.
He's so confident nothing can happen to him it seems...

And from the little data we have on how the land is composed, I guess the org really isn't meant to protect humans. Their just another groupe seeking the uber warrior. Humans are just livestock...

[Death BOO Z]

about Rubel, I wouldn't be surprised if he brought the AB over, just to lure out the rouge claymores..

also, I really can't stand Yuma. her name always gets in the way...yuma, yoma, yuma, yoma....

which one is their 'eye'? Yuma or cynthia? and what is the other?

[Ryllharu]

Cynthia is the Seven's Eye, and Yuma was just the weakest surviving warrior of the Battle of the North (since Clare was far stronger than her rank at the time). Her purpose was finally shown. She realized how much stronger she is now, so compare her to the others where the gap hasn't shortened and we get the idea of what kind of monsters Clare and the others have become. She also had some purpose in developing Clare's character several chapters ago. She's more of a gauge and a plot device than any special role within the Seven.

In fact, other than Cynthia, the others are just really strong fighters. They don't have any special titles.

I'm sure with Miria's revalation a few chapters back, it's more that the Organization just doesn't give a shit about when their Claymores Awaken. It helps in their research. The girls have their own code about killing themselves before they turn into "yoma" (a myth long debunked and something the higher-ranked Awakened Being Hunters have full knowledge of), but just because they have an agreement among each other doesn't mean their handlers truly care. It just makes the claymores easier to handle.

I can be wrong but don't you think Rubel is some kind of monster Yoma?

After all we've been told that male claymores weren't stable enough and turned into AB very quickly. What it this isn't totally true?
Also, I seem to remember Rubel was able to tell one of the former eye, Galatea, was lying... so I guess he may be something big.

[Augury]

I thought Tabitha was the group of seven's eye and Cynthia was their healer. I think Cynthia's detection range is simply better than Clare's, so she was doing the sensing.

Rubel is interesting - he seems to be quite strong based on the panel we saw a while ago of him wielding a claymore with one hand, but Clare's group couldn't detect him which leads me to believe that he does not have any yoma energy. I also suspect he may have his own purposes that are separate from the organization but is unable to do anything alone.

If you think Rubel is incredibly powerful... and he his much older than the girls there... you could say that his ability to hide youma must be very sharp. So should he be a monster, I think he'd be in the top range in many domains, also explaning his longevity.
