Peace.
Of course it was an analogy, a metaphore. Because stricly speaking the difference in power is huge and the size also (even not in the human/ant proportion)Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Difference in power is huge? It is not insignificant, but I can hardly see how an ant can tear a person's arm off, especially if there are only 11 of them.
Peace.
Not sure what specific chapter, maybe around where Augury said, but it is really recommended that you read everything from War of the North. Though some of it was animated, some key differences and omissions were made.
Chapter 89 by Franky House.
[chapter content below]
Ah...what a truly ignoble death for someone who was so prominent in the previous decade. I did feel a little bit of pity for him, and the sympathy they were trying to invoke as he was dying certainly worked on me.
It's a little funny so many above thought they surely wouldn't send Alicia and Beth after this, because that's exactly what they are doing for Riful. I really hope Clare decides to side with her, at least temporarily, to fend off the twins.
Still, if RafaeLucelia wakes up, the Organization is going to have an entirely different kind of shitstorm on their hands.

crap in a holy bucket of malevolent shit.
I'm really sad about this development... and in the words of the not so immortal John Irenicous ...
"to end? Like THIS?"
still don't get why he couldn't smash open at least some more heads. he was in a perfect condition to bite that one page 25

Dammit! Those buggers were annoyingly persistent. Easley and Riful were villains I loved to hate and delighted in their badass-ness. I'm kinda annoyed/frustrated at the way Easley left. I hope Riful does a number on Alicia and Beth.
What I had wanted to see is Miria, Clare, and co. team up with Riful and Easley, leave the island and kick ass. I guess that was juvenile shounen mentality, huh?
Unfortunately, Easley doesn't seem to have much of a mouth in his awakened form..
And as for the above comments about how only 11 of these can take him on, it boils down to two things:
1) They survive - high regeneration abilities, ability to evade attacks and protecting the vital part
2) One that seems forgotten in the past discussions: they learn
Each time they fight, they acquire combat experience: how fast is Easley, how strong is Easley, what's his attack pattern, what's his weakness? They get stronger offensively and defensively every time.
These guys learn and survive, specializing each time just to hunt their target. Some might say they lack power, but they clearly have no trouble taking chunks out of Easley with their bare teeth/claws.
Sucks that he died though. I liked his awakened form. It was actually good-looking.

I finally realized why this chapter got so much on my nerves.
it doesn't seem like Isely is having any problems, and then he dies.
even at the previous chapter, it looks like Isely is having fun with them, rather than fighting for his life.
if he was truly concerned about his survival, why didn't he go immediately all out (take out his big ass sword) and try to take out six of them as fast as possible?
in ch88, he slashed three of them (off-screen) to half, why didn't he focus on removing their heads right away?
he kills one of them with a back kick from his hoof, that's probably the most insulting thing he can do in this form, and a few panels later, he dies?
he even says that this time he'll kill them all. it might be a boast, but since none of the feeders understand him, it looses the effect as a bluff.
his actions, at first, imply that he doesn't feel one bit threatened by them, and we know that he fought them many times (and that last time they even managed to wound him good), so why was he so cocky?
it didn't look like he was having any problems with them, he knows how to get them off his tail, so why did he die?
why did he die? why, why, why?

Holy shit! Didn't see that one coming. Like BOO said, he didn't seem threatened at all in the previous chapter. That just felt retarded. But on the point why he didn't go full out from the start, maybe he knew about their learning ability and don't wanna show off to much things and ability's so he would have something new the next time they came. Try and defeat them with as little effort, power and ability's as possible. Only thing that would make sense.
Another thing that bothered me was the fact that the feeders was able to just rip of part of Easely with their bare hands and teeth. When we see him lying on his side and the start to climb up on him we see the size difference between them. That they being so small compared to him would be able to rip of one of those legs without effort is just stupid.
For example if you take two different things with different sizes that require the same amount of force to break, just for fun let's take a steel-pipe and a tree, it would be easier to break the pipe since you can grip it and utilize your full strength. But it won't be as easy to break the tree since you can grip it with you hand and all you actually can do is push on it and that would not go nearly as well.
Not very cool way to go for one of the coolest characters of this series. Now we just have Riful left. Hope she gets Clare & Co to join up with her or gets her little creation up and running. If she also gets taken out it feels like it will just go downhill with this series after that. I don't find Priscilla that interesting. Neither is the Organization.
The TohsakaRinHair (I can never remember her name) Claymore said it, each time enough get killed off the run home to make more, but they've still been doing damage. Easley doesn't have time to regenerate because the Organization can crank them out fast enough and be right back on his ass.
The damage they've been doing over the months/years has been building up over time. Easley can't feed that easily either because he needs to hide in huge crowds.
At first I was wondering why they weren't sending them to attack Riful the same way, but then I realized that it would be child's play for her to slice their head into pieces. That's why they are sending Alicia and Beth to kill her after the ghouls track her down. Only an Abyssal One could take Riful on. Riful is only truly scared of one person, Priscilla, and the two of them stand a chance to be just as bad.
Aye. Comparing both awakened forms, Riful would be far more unapproachable. Easley's really suited to attacking other large forms head on, aside from his arrows. Taking guys down one by one with such large movements aren't as effective as Riful's multi-ribbon attack - something that could really kill all 11 at once. Due to her size too, it looks like she can trap them even if she kills 6 or so.
Another part of why Easley's death was sort of....incomprehensible was how he lost. We're shown that the Feeders can take bites out of him, only for him to shake them off rather easily. But then, after skips of showing other characters, we see him having lost a limb or three without being shown how.
That, for the most part, is what I think why the Feeders seem unrealistically strong - how did they do all that damage?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think the feeding part was not done justice when it was depicted. Take note that the feeders are insanely fast, and as such I assume they attack and bite just as quickly. Imagine having a rat biting on your arm, and it can bite 10 times a second (I exaggerate, but they should be quite fast). I imagine 2 of those can easily sever your limbs after a few tries.
The manga freeze panels simply could not show the ferocity of the feeding frenzy that occurred.
Peace.
Wow, what a pathetic way to die for such a prominent character.
Woot! Good to know my favourite claymore's still got the superior Yoki detecting ability after all. Too bad she'll be out of the big picture with all these other ones running around.
Pretty easy-reading chapter otherwise.

I missed Clare. Hopefully we'll see much more of her in the next chapter.

A good distraction to the lack of WSJ this week. But how is it that 25 pages is STILL too damn short??
