Hm, I wonder how strong Raki really is. The way he effortlessly takes on the organization´s men seems a bit over the top for just a normal human being. I hope he gets to fight one of the villain Claymores to show how skilled he actually became. Not saying that he should slay a dozen of them, just a one on one-fight.
one of the better chapters.
His strength and speed should be within human limits, so I don't think he'll do too well. No flashy moves that make use of Youki channelling for him.
That parasite infection might have given him a little gift though.. His back was conveniently covered so it's only our guess. But since he's feeling fine at the moment, either:
1) The organisation extracted it (highly likely)
2) The organisation developed the technique to harness the body-control ability and were kind enough to relinquish Rakki of it. (unlikely)
3) The parasite no longer functions malignantly as the main body's been absorbed by Claire and is now dormant (who knows...)

I love the look of the double-pigtail girl.
But I had severe trouble to follow who was fighting whom in the first third of this chapter.
I stand by my opinion that this manga rather sucks, BUT I´d love to watch it as an anime. Hope they´ll change their minds sometime in the future and animate the rest of the manga.
I wouldn't say that it's a bad manga, but it's deeply flawed.
mostly by the slow release rate, the fact that everyone looks the same and most of the pages are just figures jumping or sword wielding with no text (so you switch through the page quickly and don't notice much what's going on).
Given the right studio and budget, it could be an awesome action movie.
'bout the chapter... I have no opinion. no idea what's going on around here.
How many times have i read "baki"...

What's so hard to follow?
The three came and just butchered everyone up before we even really got to see them in person, and then it was:
Mira vs Hysteria
Cassandra vs 3 chicks
Make-up vs Twins
I would call it "not much happens" as opposed to "hard to follow".

I'm with the 'wtf is going on' camp. I like the character designs in general but the only defining characteristic of most of the chars is their hair style and it gets hard to follow who is who, especially when new characters are showing up every few chapters. After a second or third pass I can usually puzzle everything out but it can get annoying reading through a fight chapter and not having a clue who's doing what unless someone scar-faced like Miria of Galatea is involved. Also he just doesn't seem to want to move the story forward as it keeps going from fight to fight to fight without revealing particularly strong details about the greater world.
Interesting, I guess. But if it's a pendulum, then she'll have to sway back and forth, so you only really need to put your sword right in the middle of the motion to cut her up nicely.
If it's supposed to look like an illusion of her lying on the ground, then it'll have to be at a speed comparable to Mira's phantom flash - only that the movement is even more predictable since it has clear start and end points.
I suppose it's a technique that relies on surprise though. Once you think it through, it's not so hard to get its weakness. Roxanne, on the other hand.. Damn she's evil.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I wouldn't bet on the swing being her only weapon.
the way she cleans her face (p.30) reminds me of that early one piece villian (Kuro something?) with his razor hands.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

Those loli claymores are pretty cute
I don't know why everyone keeps dissing on Cassandra, who the fuck ever said a Claymore's technique was supposed to be elegant and beautiful? They're monsters fighting monsters, they regenerate and stretch theirs limbs and gut their enemies in whatever horrible way is first presented to them... and now suddenly they're worried they don't look pretty while doing it?
Yeah, that part doesn't make much sense.
Peace.
They`re just jealous.

Well the only one who dissed her is the mole-chick. No one else even knows about it, supposedly. And she dissed it because it's the ugliest technique she had accumulated so far (if she even bothered to learn it after seeing it), when she has all the other ones that can do the job and also not look ugly.Originally Posted by Archangel
In the end, the reason comes down to thinking it doesn't look very "warrior-like". Even Cassandra thinks so.
I remember who Ophelia was, but I don't remember who Hilda was.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Hilda was a friend of Miria who Awakened. Miria and Ophelia were in the team who had to take her down. Afterwards Miria found out that it was her friend and almost Awakened herself but stopped because of Ophelia's provocations.
If my memory serves me correct that is.
Oh yeah, and Ophelia was like "please awaken so I can kill you too, pleaaase". Thanks for the reminder.

They are women... Of course they are worried if it makes them look ugly in the eyes of others.
Every single time some dude tried to rape them they were like "Yeah ok i don't care", i don't think they even remember they're women anymore
