Oddly enough I had this same curiousity earlier :p
I was pointed towards mangadownload.com, claymore being current you have to donate 5 bucks to get access to such timely material. I didn't mind because of all the stuff they have, it'll keep me busy at work for a long time, and its a one time thing - just gotta have a paypal account.
I dont think any site put it out for online reading, just torrent the whole thing up to volume 13, chapter 72 I think from tokyotosho, then you can read it.
Donno why, I never get people who read manga online and watch anime on youtube (thou I'm not sure if its the same people to begin with).
Btw, anyone knows when does Claymore new chapters come by? I dunno the drill of it.

I really hope the anime wont pull of a Berserk aswell and end it like that at some point, but if they dont do it this can go on for well over 26 episodes. :)

I bet it will end at the northern area last stand which would be a very cruel cliffhanger hehe
I thought totally the same, that they'll end the anime in Pieta, as they all "die" there...ofcourse it would pull down the anime by a great deal.
And won't seem rational aswell as they go through all that much and then just die off lol.
Even in the manga I almost died when they introduced Clarice as Number 47, I was like "WTF they'll start over with a different char as protagonist or something?"...
26 episodes won't be able to capture the awesomeness of the manga....
(Altough, I wont complain if they pull of 4limb Clare nicely :) )

You mean for the lowest ranking Claymore :)
Thou it was always obvious that she should've been tons higher, but the way he ights simply never shows it when killing only the normal Yoma.

05-22-2007, 02:21 PM
Since they do 70+ manga chapters i think it will be 26-30ish eps
and aye almost every anime has a manga started or compleated
Edit: But for some reason i think they all dien would be somewhat of a fitting end... I gtg ill explain why i think so l8r :(
If they would accomplish something with their death yeah-
But if they end it in Pieta, they leave so many unanswered questions...
And absically they'll show the most badass scene of the whole manga, and then just cut it off with a crying Priscilla and dead main characters...That just ain't gonna work out.
For marketing purposes a season 2 after that would come thou, as that would definetly leave everyone with MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEE feeling.

They better animate the fight between Isley and Lucera. As long as they do that, I could care less if the anime ended at a cliffhanger. The manga is nowhere near being complete anyway.
That fight was skipped even in the manga, so I doubt it'll be in the anime. :)
Unless you mean the start of the battle.
If they get that far, that'll be in for sure.

Gah. I was telling myself not to take a peek at look at it, but I did anyway. Now I regret; now I'm anxious to read the translation even more than I was before. I'd really like to know what was being said in this up-coming chapter. Knowing the Claymore series, even though at first appearance this chapter might appear to be slow, I have a feeling it'll still be interesting, nonetheless.
Though I really do hate this monthly wait between Claymore chapters. >_<
I'm also really curious to see how Miata's skill and power compares to individuals like Clare and Miria -- and also whether or not she turns into another Priscilla-like individual, at that.

Links to the manga would be greatly appreciated. ^^
I personally wound up using a torrent program to download volumes 1 through 12 of the Claymore manga (the series now three chapters deep into the 13th volume; 72 chapters total, with number 73 still pending a translation). I then used Onemanga.com to view the most recent three scanlated/translated chapters online. One manga, unfortunately, only has chapters 1-15, then skips to 70-72 -- otherwise I'd just direct you there.
However, afterward I came across this link -- http://www.mangatraders.com/files/manga/claymore -- and found that you can download all the individuals volumes of the manga seperately.
I personally checked this mangatraders site, myself. Seems good to me; registration was free, the downloads were a decent enough pace (but don't expect blinding speeds, I suppose), and quality is pretty solid. It appears from the looks of the first few volumes that I "test downloaded" the scanlations are done by the same groups that also composed the torrent file I used.
Hopefully that helps. Good to see another individual take to the manga. It really is worth sitting down for and reading through start to finish. xD
Only issue I found with the site was that viewing it in IE seemed to distort some of the site's layout somewhat. FireFox, on the other hand, worked much better.
Edit: I guess this post could also do much the same for anyone else interested in looking for a "one stop shop" site and such to download the entirety of the manga. If possible, perhaps someone could edit the posted link into the first post of this thread, as well. Just for convenience's sake and such.

Did I skip this in the manga? Or when did this happen if it happened?

Thanks Gedanke for the link! :redbiggri
No problem at all; I'm happy to help. It's always nice to convert another individual to the manga. ;D
For me, although it might sound strange, one of the great differences -- something the manga is far better at -- is conveying the great expressions and facial emotions of the various characters. When a character is supposed to be surprised, scared, happy, etc, you really get a much better sense, in my opinion, with the manga than you do with the anime.
Although as far as manga-to-anime adaptations go, the Claymore anime is still doing a pretty solid job.
I also like to do what you do, Evanesque. I don't like to touch the series until I have all the series. I find torrents are great for that, since I always wait until the torrent finishes, at which time you've downloaded everything. xD
So, anyone else out there want to be converted to the manga (dark side)? C'mon, don't be shy...

That is quite true. I've seen animes that half-ass the animation for some fight scenes and the like, and the overall quality and impression comes off as poor and lacking. Claymore, however, so far has been doing an awesome, awesome job of making the fight scenes really engaging and well drawn.
I can't wait to see the fight between Clare and Ophelia, as a Claymore and an Awakened One, for some reason. Hell, or any forthcoming combat scene in the anime, for that matter; they're likely all bound to kick ass.
I'll still always be the type to read the manga and watch the anime, however. You get the best of both, that way. ;P
DragonBlade
06-04-2007, 08:10 AM
Indeed, best to watch and read both :D. Anime provides the laziness of not needing to "turn the page :P," the music, the sound FX, animation/color, things that the manga cannot really provide.

I agree when it comes to action, anime's better but when it comes to facial expressions or emotional stuff, manga can display it more nicely.

Do you happen to roughly know how long it takes between raw release and the release of a scanlation/translation, Nood?
I know a few avenues to read it or download it after it's been translated, but I'm wondering about the length of the natural waiting. Well, "extra" waiting I should say.
Oh, and no one says lesbian stuff is bad. xD

10sigh is pretty fast, compare to the other group.
Don't really remember how long it took last time (it was so long ago), but I know I saw slower translating then theirs for sure.
If they took the time to translate the preview panels beforehand it should be pretty fast.
I didn't mean its BAD lesbian stuff, its just lesbian stuff.:)

Do you know Japanese or something? I've seen the raw, or at least previews of it, already. Judging by what seems to be a total dominance of dialogue and perhaps revelations or story-hooks implemented, and just the expressions of Clarice, I can sort of make out that something seems to be up. But without knowning Japanese of course, I still have pretty much no idea what's going on until the translation comes out. O_o

Well, I know about the assignment to find and kill Galatea; anyone who's read chapter 72previous to this knows that, of course.
But is that all that this chapter is about, really? Clarice being told to start poppin' pills? ...Though I guess you can't blame her if she gets 'teh boob'.
...This is the worst part about waiting for manga chapters: when the raw is out, and you know it's just sitting there pending translation, and all you can do is sit around and wait itchin' to read it. <_<
I hate having to be patient.

DragonBlade
06-08-2007, 03:21 PM
Hehe.
Miata hates the pills but wants the boob.
Miata is still able to sense a "strong presense" even if she does not have her youki power because of the pill. At the end of teh chapter, Miata senses such a presence.
Its just an unconfrimed stuff, I'm not sure it would worth writing here so just leave it...
Anyway, I hope Galatea comes and beats them like shat. :)
Its actually a perfect way to eliminate Miata, who if threatened just like that could go awaken and become the next priscilla.
They possibly know that Galatea can kill Clarice in a matter of seconds, and then she can stop Miata's awakening if it would be to happen. (and if Clarice dies it would be rather obvious that she wouldnt be able to stop herself)
tho I donno the dialouges of this chapter, it still looks like a "disposing" mission to me, the organization is obviously in a win-win situation no matter the mission fails or succeeds.

I see.
Thanks for the little synopsis, Christina. But now it's also got me wondering precisely at the nature of a supposed "strong presence" detected at the end of this chapter. Even after reading this, undoubtedly it's just going to lead to yet another month waiting, speculation and theorizing.
This is really starting to remind me of having to wait through the unfortunate timespans between chapters of something like Berserk.
Anyone else hate having to wait on monthly release manga? <_< (That's essentially a rhetorical question, I guess. I can probably guess pretty accurately at the answer)

I'm interested in Miata v. Galatea but I don't want either to die :( I suppose if I had to make a choice, I'd rather have Miata die heh.
Watch it not be Galatea in that city.
Edit: Lol yea... The first page was funny... "What did you do?" haha and Clarice doesn't even want to admit it that she's just there for Miata to suck her tit, even when it's just the two of them.

Miata destorys.
And apparently she's also a nipple biter, as well.
:eek13:
I don't know if anyone would come to the same question as I have, but it's something I'm wondering about: does anyone else wonder if Clarice's breasts would actually lactate (my guess would of course be "no"), or does Miata just really like boobies?
xD
Tyekanik
06-08-2007, 05:49 PM
Haha, I knew I was going to love Miata. I also figured she wasn't that small, I always got the crouched down hugging impression.
I would imagine Clarice isn't producing anything, just that it is necessary for Miata's particular psychosis (whatever it is, she's clearely screwed up) which my idea of child like psychosis is now in question of...how much of a child is she still physically. Seems to be most of one, but still a bit too big for the booby
They said claymores don't age but mature, so I figure she could be almost any age just stuck without fully developing, so she wasn't pushed as far back mentally as I was thinking.
Nah, Miata IS young, I don't know how long it takes to take their matured "form" but shes at best halfway to that.
Remember Teresa in Raphaela's flashback or what, shes probably around that age, and Teresa still matured a lot from there.
So even if comparing to humans shes actually 50 yo, comparing to claymores she is really young.

Nood is quite correct. It just gets better as it goes. A lot better, actually.
Volume six is really only about where the anime is at right now. If I recall, the sixth volume doesn't even conclude the fight with the first male Awakened One to be seen in the series.
Plot turns and twists abound to come.

I wonder how you manage to pull out and not get sucked into the addictiveness of the Claymore Manga
Who said you can do that?
I red it like 10 times now just because whenever I check out a chapter for something I can't help but read the next, read the next, read the next, read the next...
Gedenke, no v6 is now the battle with Ophelia, but you can only say "UNEXPECTED" once you go further into v7 and onwards, v6 is the last solid volume. :)
I think from that point on theres no way you can stop until the SUPERB battle in Pieta. :)
Gedanke
06-10-2007, 02:36 PM
Yeah, you're right.
I was off by one volume it seems. I was mistaking volume five for volume six.
Nood, you seem to say "SUPERB" a fair bit. That wouldn't happen to have anything to do with one particular Awakened One, would it? xD
obviously it has :)
Whenever I use it its basically to refer to Rigaldo or, just a reference to how awesome a scene can be. :)

Scanlated.
As always, Teresa pwns. :)
Oh yeah, forgot to post the scanalation link thx to GL ep 14...
Anyway it was definetly awesome :)
This is how fillers in animes should be.
Thou gladly its not a filler here, next chapter coming around aug. 6th.
Atleast I was right when I said that Teresa was holy badass even thorugh multiply generations of Claymores. :)
Thou that former 1 didn't make any sense...its not like being no.1 has ANY kind of benefit whatsoever.

That was a nice little "filler" chapter, so to speak.
More than anything, it merely reaffirms my belief that Teresa was the single strongest Claymore of any generation, and an Awoken Teresa would make even the Abyssal ones and Priscilla perhaps seem weak by comparison.
Thanks for that, Nood and DB.
Well not neccesarily Priscilla, if the awakening is like unleashing ones full potential, Priscilla IS stronger.
But she would've definetly been abyssal level or higher, no doubt on that.

Yeah, I suppose the "stronger than Priscilla" thing is probably not accurate -- though, in my opinion, debatable.
The concept of "potential" isn't really all that specified in the series (nor does it ever seem to be in most animes/mangas). Does it mean technical skill level in combat, amount and potency of yoki, etc? Teresa using 10% of her power was clearly superior to a Priscilla using at least 50% of her power; it was only through a mistake -- dropping her yoki and assuming Priscilla wasn’t going to continue fighting -- (leaving herself open to surprise attack, essentially) that Priscilla defeated Teresa.
I'm of the opinion -- and keep in mind it's just that -- that had Teresa and Priscilla Awoken at the same time during that same situation, Teresa would have won a conflict between them based solely upon superior experience and undoubtedly the superior combat expertise as a result. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean one year, ten years, twenty years, etc, down the line that if that same situation occurred, Teresa would win.
‘Course, this is all just idle speculation on my part, which really is just pointless in the end. xD
Edit: I finally found the source site for a bunch of good fanart I've been coming across; figured I should share: http://nakenashi.net/archives/cat_6.php?page=all
I'm also posting it here in the manga section because a number of the pictures are somewhat spoilerish.
Experience wouldn't have count for much, neither of them had any experience fighting in their awakened form, which is atleast partly different from the human form.
A maximum potential should be their maximum combat power they can reach including everything you listed.
Teresa most likely already reached hers, or atleast got extremely close, thats why she chopped up a former No.1 awakened with such ease. Remember No.1s awakening are disasterous cases, the three known times they happened are the 3 abyssal ones. Even if that Rosemary was No.1 in a "weaker" generation of Claymores, she still should've had power at around Rigaldo's at the very, very least.
When Teresa and Priscilla fought as full human-form, or Priscilla using some Yoki, Teresa was holding back a lot, she could've crush and kill her at any time.
As Ilena said, she had plenty of opportunities.
BUT, she did say that with time Priscilla could've suppress her, that means a monstorous potential in her aswell, she was just nowhere near achieving it.
Teresa was caught completly offguard, just think about it, even if Priscilla was on halfway to where Teresa's overall power is, she had over 90% yoki released, Teresa gone back to 0 at that point, she was simply not fast enough in that form.
The complete awakening put Priscilla on to her maximum. That means that in that form she would've been stronger. But definetly Teresa would've had some chance there aswell. Maybe she could've oppose her and fight equally due to Priscilla just freshly awakening, not used to the body the feeling, the use.
But defeating is impossible. With Teresa's experience, she might have been close to her maximum potential like 95%, awakening that 5% wouldn't have help a lot, except the tentacles or something lol.
But to go farther, why would they've opposed the other, they should've known that they are close to eachother in strength, they would've just want to eat lol..
I would definetly place Teresa awakened above the current abyssal ones, and the unawakened Teresa around matching an abyssal one, even if not for a long term battle. But Priscilla is just stronger.
(Now where would I place a half-awakened Teresa who doesn't have to care about the 80% limit)
Gedanke
07-02-2007, 03:14 PM
Yes, it's true that the physical experience of a largely human body of the Claymores probably wouldn't amount to much post-Awakening. However, I still believe that the mental experience, and perhaps even a better understanding of that full potential that was just released that Teresa would possess over Priscilla would give her an advantage. It may not be necessarily large, it might even be miniscule; but if one were to assume that Teresa and Priscilla were very comparable to each other in power, such an advantage, however minor, might be a deciding factor.
I also was considering how the relative power and skill of the former number one Awakened one (Rosemary) would have perhaps compared to other characters. I came to the same basic assumption: Rosemary would have been *at least* on par or just above Rigaldo.
It is most likely that Teresa was close to her maximum potential, or even reached it. I actually agree with that. Yet, we don't actually know that for certain. For all we know, Teresa could have been so utterly powerful that at the moment of her death, she had only realized 50% of her total potential. Do I personally think that would be a likely scenario? No, not at all, actually. But, based solely upon the simple fact that there's no evidence to prove or disprove that fact one way or the other, it's not something that can be entirely dismissed off-hand.
I know Teresa was caught off-guard; I already mentioned that in my previous post, as well.
I never said I thought an unawakened Teresa could beat an Awakened Priscilla. I think the opposite is the case. I said I thought Teresa was superior; essentially, based on equal circumstances, such as a Claymore Teresa verse a Claymore Priscilla, or an Awakened Teresa verse an Awakened Priscilla, I thought that Teresa would win a conflict. It's my belief that Teresa's proficiency to sense Yoki, and form a fighting style based on that, would translate just fine into an Awakened physical form, unlike perhaps the unique sword techniques and such that other Claymores form while possessing a human body. Again, another advantage I feel would be in Teresa's favour.
Yeah, I suppose it would be a rather unlikely scenario for Teresa and Priscilla to come to blows if they both Awakened. Although, Priscilla apparently fought with Isley, and it may have just been on the whim of Priscilla, so you never know.
Half-awakened Teresa? How do we know Teresa wasn't already half-awakened? Though, I believe that probably wasn't the case. It seems to be an extremely rare occurence for a half-awakening to actually occur; and in most of the instances we've seen -- Raki-Clare, Clare-Jean twice, etc -- it required outside interference to help prevent the Claymore in question from becoming a full Awakened One. In my opinion, a Teresa who didn't need to worry about the 80% Yoki limit could perhaps even beat the three original Abyssal Ones without need to Awaken. But, perhaps not Priscilla.
Point is, Teresa would lose her most outstanding ability, not completly but sensing yoki when you are constantly and in an unstoppable manner releasing yoki is next to impossible.
She alrdy had trouble due to the insane amounts of yoki released from the 80%+ Priscilla.
When facing an awakened opponent who radiates so much Yoki she chooses releasing Yoki above sensing it, simply because shes not fast or strong enough while suppressing too much.
We've seen this just in this chapter. She doesn't do it much because the enemies that require it are extremely rare.
So the ability that kept her above anyone as a claymore would be lost, all that would remain is probably a better then avarage coontrol of yoki, an insane, above abyssal amounts of yoki, and the power and speed coming from that.
But I give it that she could've won, because of contrasting bodily abilities, seeing that Clare got Teresa's yoma parts, her awakened form would've been near the same as Clare's (except Ilena's part) so as 200 long as huge blades can cut quick strong tentacles, Teresa would've had the advantage. :)
(Well this may just be how Clare will fight Priscilla, her awakened form looks superior)
But if we count their words as the rules, Priscilla should be able to beat an awakened Teresa, unless ofcourse, contradicting ability types.

I wish they were more creative with Priscilla's awakened state. I mean she just grows wings, gets taller, gets a change in arms, and gets a horn. I mean there are minor adjustments to the details her skin and what not, but there wasn't much creativity there. Maybe it's because she was still only a kid when we saw her awakened. Hopefully her body has...matured by now :redbiggri
I would love to see Galatea awakened....oh man.

07-05-2007, 03:45 PM
Personally, I am of the belief that Teresa would have beaten Priscilla. She was definitely the only one that could have rivaled awakened Priscilla. Priscilla was way more unstable mentally and Teresa's fighting style, reading yoki, works better against stronger enemies.
We can only speculate though. There's plenty of unknown factors like fully understanding awakenings and defining potential.
Edit: I finally found the source site for a bunch of good fanart I've been coming across; figured I should share: http://nakenashi.net/archives/cat_6.php?page=all
I'm also posting it here in the manga section because a number of the pictures are somewhat spoilerish.
Nice find. Lots of awesome pictures. :)
Teresa has trouble when too much yoki is around, the above-abyssal Priscilla, and her own atleast 75% yoki would made reading yoki really really hard.
I think she could've rival an abyssal in that state, but if Priscilla is "much stronger" (according to Riful) then theres no way she could've beat her.
Also Priscilla didn't seem unstable at all after the awakening.
Either way, it would've been a more interesting battle then how it gone...I hate Priscilla only for how she did it, if she wins after awakening, ok, but to do a sneaky attack like that after all the justice talk and BEFORE awakening...
Kyoko<3!
07-05-2007, 04:05 PM
Yeah i believe that if Teresa went full out, she might have rivaled Priscilla.
Look at how she completely destroyed Rosemary, a former number 1 so easily. Obviously Priscilla is stronger than Rosemary, but after that 'extra chapter' I'm sort of feeling that Teresa might have given Priscilla a run for her money....yoma money. XP
I need some help on finding the panel/pages where we can see Clare do this:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a109/sin_gfx/bscap0034.jpg
I thought its the Rabona arc, obviously because of the clothes etc, but I couldn't find it. This shouldn't be the first time I had a missing page from my chapters, thou it seems only speechless pages do go missing.
Anyway, if someone could tell me where it is, or upload it I would be very happy. :)
Discard the colors, and the background, its a screenshot from the Claymore MAD, so the background and the foreground are probably different. What I want is Clare's way too sexy back.

I'm not sure that's actually a frame in the manga. I scanned through the entire Rabona arc's chapters, which is the only part of the storyline Clare is wearing clothing like that, and I didn't find any frames resembling that.
Now, I could also be missing maybe a page or two or something, but I don't think it's likely.

Just don't look her front =P
if you ask me its a vertical cut showing her intestines or something, transparent skin etc...but anyway, who asked her to take down the clothes... they are very fine from the back aswell.
also its not on the breasts, thx Clarice for clarification, its on their belly, but since they are wearing quite the skintight outfit its not a yoma face or anything. :P
It also should looklike "it hurts" so its most likely a big scar.
And Jean actually lost that deformity on the stomach after having a completly awakened body. Shes that awesome!

Well the blacksuit said that shes searching for her sister (luciela) and a place for herself to die.
So theres a chance that right after killing Luciela there she killed herself, but this is about as confirmed as Ilena's death. (And even Luciela's death isn't confirmed, thou the chances are rly rly low)
Yep, funny it seems the "not 100% sane" people to No.4 no matter what. :)
About whos the strongest out of the 3, noone, they are the abyssal ones ebcause they are equally strong. :)
Luciela's and Isley's battle was pretty much a draw.
I think Rafael's still alive, and will reappear later in the story when we get to the "overthrowing the organization" part.

yeah i know they're equal in strength. In terms of "cool-looking", Isely = dA l337 hax0rz (reference to gantz).
Rafaela went into hiding as Galatea did, is what I would assume. But I can't believe the organization would go as far as Alicia for the sake of human beings. But then again they're also probably using that as a back-up story to get with the humans' good side and then scheme a "take-over-the-lands" plan.
dA l337 hax0rz is not a good gantz reference :)
Well yeah, one may think she did, but no the other hand she was always only about searching for her sister.
She as a claymore with Luciela, she got out of the organization because of Luciela, and was searching for her at that time, and she came back to the organization solely because of her, otherwise we should think he did everything the Organization asked.
So now that she fulfilled what she wanted, for an otherwise immortal being with no other purposes in life, death is quite an accaptable theory.
Setsuna Ai
07-19-2007, 07:52 PM
eh I'm referring to the time when they spoke in l337! Or did I find a spoof chapter?
But after all of that, one would think she'd want revenge against the organization, right? True she feels its' her responsibility for what happened to Luciela but I'm sure she's distressed with what they're doing to other claymores, especially the Alicia twins (well idk I think i'm over-thinking the whole flashback of the time when she found out about the organization taking the twins).
Tyekanik
07-19-2007, 07:56 PM
I lean towards Rafaela living, I'd like to see more of her, and revenge is more fun than death. Miria hates the organization for her friend hilda or whoever, Rafaela could hold a grudge for her sister easier. Killing Luc might have been Rafaela's responsibility for her part in losing Luc to awakening. Only problem is if Rafaela awakens she's a huge ass hypocrite for killing her sister then doing the same thing. I do hope however that not everyone will need to awaken to matter, Rafaela's been referred to as damn strong, she shouldn't need to.
Hell I've never killed a sibling, it could snap something on the spot and lead anywhere.
Setsuna: Yeah, that chapter was just translated like that, it took me some time to get the normal :)
Anyway I simply think she isn't the "must revenge" type of person. She found out about the organization tkaing in twins, she obviously knew about Alicia and Beth, yet she did nothing. Wouldn't you want to stop and take revenge on the organization before they do the same thing they did to you?
IF she would be the revenge type, she would've awakened at some point imo.
Setsuna Ai
07-19-2007, 10:59 PM
Well I was thinking maybe she prioritized atoning for what happened to Luciela first THEN pwn the organization. If I were her I would feel the weight of my sister's tragedy more than the burden of knowing the organization's true schemes. Ergo sister first. Bastards later. If you think about it's a perfect plan. Pretend to be their pet and get to their good graces until she can find her sister. Afterwards, disappear and scheme in the dark corners of the deep. [well...it's not pefect but y'know =P]
So she waited until Alicia is completed, so no matter what she alone can't do anything, before she was completed, she could've fight and win, or just kill them in their sleep lol, she is in fact the number 3 so to say, or the second with the most power.
With this, she just blown all chances:
For the enemies of Isley and Priscilla, IE everyone. (even though she couldn't know lol)
For herself if she wanted revenge.
And obviously for our Ilena and Luciela...

what i like about this manga is the three way battle i.e. organisation versus the old seven especially miata versus galatea,the abyssal ones versus each other and pretty much anyone that gets in their way,except riful, and sadly clare has to face priscilla and probally the organisation and finally the organisation versus the abyssal ones.I just want clare to get her revenge and she and raki survive and escape the organisation for ever.The organisation and the abyssal ones could kill each other out.
A thing I1ve been thinking about, is does the organization even know about Priscilla's power?
yeah they know that shes bloody strong, and at the very least have the version Riful had in her battle with galatea&jean&clare, that she is clsoe to the abyssals.
But personally I think they don't know about her, the organizations attitude is quite agressive, as in they decided to hunt the awakened beings without requests. Probably thinking that with Alicia there, and 45 claymores as cannonfodder they could beat any of the abyssal ones, and that is apparantly true I think.
I wonder what would've happened if Galatea tells Rubul that she sensed 2 abyssal ones fighting nearby when she saw Alicia in work...
Alicia sent there, I wonder what would've happened. :)

i can't remember which battle you mean but if you meant isley and luciela i think luciela would've been killed and she and isley would probally be equal.Then again in one of the chapters alicia said at here current level she could fight riful to a certain extent then die sooo.....I was thinking that those men in black like rubel and the others have to be strong or have something that controls claymores but if they were this strong are they just using the claymores as pawns to do the hard work or they have no special powers and can't fight.
Nah, when alicia said that she wasn't "completed", so probably IMO she could only do partial awakenings or something, in her completed, 100% awakened body form she rivals the abyssal ones, this was stated by the blacksuits and Riful herself.
So they are killing awakened beings on their own just so they'll have an advantage when it comes to battle, while the organization can create claymores nonstop, they can't create awakened beings, and the claymores could be used to give the edge in battle to alicia.
Ofcourse they don't know about Priscilla's power I guess, so they became agressiv elike that.
Tyekanik

Priscilla's power is as you say most likely just guessed at. In order to know she's stronger than the abyssal ones you'd need a gauge that was in itself stronger than the abyssal ones or I'd figure they could only say damn, thems some tough *****es.
The organization seems pretty typical so far in its arrogance, leading to the likelihood of them thinking Alicia can beat Priscilla. If they somehow know just how scary Priscilla is, then they could well be making Alicia out of fear rather than arrogance. Not that they have much choice if they want to retain any real power, the power scale is leaving non-awakened beings behind.
Thats mainly why I want Rafaela to do something, not because of any given reason, just a personal desire to not follow shonen power rankings. So I keep looking for any route to that end, its fun this way :p
I can't remember but who all is capable of fighting besides Miyata in their normal non awakened state? I keep thinking only Rafaela....fuzzy memory. Galatea but I'm questioning her fighting until I see some more, I fear she may have been left behind :( bah. I need to re-read this stuff.
Ofcourse alicia was made out of fear, as Isley started moving.
We know that Priscilla is way stronger then the abyssals but as long as the organization doesnt, they'll just go on out hunting.
No non-awakened could'nt do anything against an abyssal.
Or atleast not Riful, Isley, or even best Priscilla. (even though we all know it'll happen)
Alicia on the other hand has Beth, and she has to defend her at all costs. If beth dies Alicia awakens completly, power won't change but she'll just start slaughtering anyone. So I bet its embedded into her brain that she must defend Beth, which can be exploited even by normal claymores to weaken her fighting.
Otherwise, Raphaela who didn't use yoki for the last 30years or so wouldn't be able to do much imo, Miata same, you kill clarice and she awakens like for the push of a button.
Ofc, a bigger team working together good, ie. the lucky seven like may be able to do some stuff before getting killed.

Before the lucky 7 gets killed, I want to see vengeance take place and Clare reunite with Raki, then Raki dies from being useless (I should say disappear) Clare goes emo after having no purpose in life then they all just have sex and kill each other.
What I don't understand is how the hell Priscilla can get so attached to Raki for so long and not be tempted to eat him. And if Isely loves priscilla, then why is he letting another man (well...KID) get all over her...actually it's the reverse but still >.<
Hell knows, when they first met I hoped after the "This kid smells nice" line it would be "Do you want some too?" towards isley...
Raki'll protect Priscilla against Clare somehow then notice that its Clare and then WTF DIE.
Atleast I hope it'll something like that.
If Clare would kill Raki so she cna go against Priscilla...god that would be beutiful.

That would be great. Just imagine:
Clare after many hardships finds Priscilla, but then some "guy" (we assume Raki grows some tiny balls in these years here) appears saying "You shall not hurt..." but Clare just WTFPWNS him in the middle of his sentence and he dies in fountains of blood and gore and destruction.(ehem) After a second Clare notices something's wrong an says "Oh my, was that...?

lol raki knows he will get his reward from clare in the end some good loving lol so thats why he stupidly follows her.i hope he doesn't think of clare as a big sister because that would be dumb.
No.
It must end with a tragedy!
Raki dies, probably on a staircase after doing something "heroic" and awesome.
And Clare goes lesbian...
Obviously in a world full of beutiful girls with slender bodies with perfectly shaped muscles on them (exc. Ray, fighting mode Undine), pale skin without any deformity or even a mole (exc. Raphaela), blonde/silver hair, and silver eyes, all this put into a skintight outfit, an ending with lesbian love included gotta have a chance over 90%, especially that the rest of the world is ugly as shit.
Besides, a happy end with Raki is just impossible. Clare lives forever, or turns into an awakened being at one point of time. Raki dies, if not for the fact that even Clare could kill him while having an orgasm, then by old age. So Clare would easily outlive him, which makes them incompatible.
He can't become a claymore, males suck at it, especially someone so short tempered and high in spirits as Raki, he would awaken the first time using hes Yoki.(He's also a virgin, counting in that releasing yoki gives sexual pleasure aswell, thats quite a bad point)
He can become an awakened one ofcourse, and live forever just like Clare.
But obviously, I don't think Clare would tolerate human's as lunch everyday.
Ofc, both of them could awaken, happy end...but Clare would killherself before that, and Raki would be killed by others before that.
I do not approve of an ending including:
A living Raki and Clare.
A living Raki.
A dying Raki AND a dying Clare.
Everything else is acceptible I guess. Including a dead raki, AND a dying Clare, that could be epic.

I do not approve of Raki dying before he sees Clare. First a reunion, then after that raki dies (i don't care how soon the latter happens).

when is chapter 74 gonna be released?
lol raki knows he will get his reward from clare in the end some good loving lol so thats why he stupidly follows her.
The Claymore all seem pretty asexual to me. Teresa didn't care when all those bandits were going to gang rape her.

.lol she didn't care because she probally wanted it anyway because she wanted to try something new for excitement.And stupid clare had to stop the show. just jk but if she did not like it she would have pushed them off and ran so even though she was dissapointed that the people she had to protect were rapist it seemed as if she didn't mind the gang rape.
And about the ugliness under the outfits,raki wouldn't mind if clare could tear off the bottom half of the outfit and leave the top to hide the scar or w/e.Or he loves her so much he wouldn't mind at all.Anyhow,i'm finished before i get caught up in perverted talk.
And when will chapter 74 come out.I want to see miata and galatea fight.
I TOTALLY WOULDNT MIND the scar on their belly...!!!
But either way, awaken your torso, revert, scar gone! Jean did it :)
If Jean stays alive Raki's chances of being together with Clare are like 0,
like, "Sorry kid but now I'M following Clare and I beat the holy sh*t out of your human ass, and on top of it I look way too sexy, so go drown in a puddle"
I'm still mourning her death...
Setsuna: Ofcourse, Raki must die before Clare's eyes.
nx6: No, I don't mind Clare dying but: not Before Raki, and not Together with Raki. Dying a day after Raki died is fine.
About Teresa, I don't think she wanted to get f*cked there at all, she just didn't care.
On the other hand she could've beat them up and leave, as in the law only forbids killing.

She said she can produce the "seducive smile of a prostitute"...
In the anime, you can see it at the kissing scene, that was it IMO.
Manga left it out sadly :(
Better question WHY did they train them to do that?
The yoma can sense the Claymores, the claymores can sense the yoma, and I can't imagine where the claymore who (for example using energy suppresants) would need to seduce the yoma/awakened being whatever, before cutting it up, since both a yoma or awakened ebing would just rape/kill, not like they would need to eb seduced.
Critical
07-24-2007, 06:40 PM
I think they are trained in "acting" to blend with the crowd in places like Rabona where Claymores are unwelcome.
Also, when Clare told Raki about the "prostitute smile" it was merely meant to just how much she could "act" IMO.

I thought the manga was more suggestive than the anime, actually. In the anime, it seemed she was really meaning she could act the part. But the manga implied she would have demonstrated further I thought.
What do you mean?
I think the scene she said that was basically identical.
Ofcourse, the anime has rigid-angry-emotionless (edit: How did I describe someone angry and emotionless at the same time?) Clare saying it, while the manga has the innocent-attitude Clare saying it.

you can describe it by doing this:
her brows were furrowed, as if glaring while she spoke monotonously.
I dunno. Maybe it was just the way I interpretted the mood of the manga verses how it was actually done in the anime. Like I always saw the Claymores as colder emotionally than they were in the anime. The townspeople a little bit quieter, when they walk into the village, the atmosphere more errie.
There's little things about the anime that bug me.
Edit:

yeah it makes me laugh when i see the differences in the manga. In the manga, when she's just being "playful" or nonchalant, her expression is as expressionless (and cute) as it should be and when she IS angry, it's just right. However in the anime, she looks pissed off all the time and when she talks it's like she's trying to hide her anger. And when she IS angry her face looks like it's ....well...it's repulsive D:

My vote would probably go to Ophelia, demented as she is. In Claymore form that is, not human(ish). Second place would, in a totally heterosexual way, have to go to Ligardes.
Also Ilena has awesome ears. If she'd given Clare those instead of her arm I'd be happy.

WTF those drawings are funny and the person can draw well.
Miria and Galatea fighting?
Well certainly its annoying, but it doesn't have anything to do with the anime.
If they are lucky they'll make an OVA of the extra chapters if they are like that.

I recommend starting with chapter 41, part 1 of The Witch's Maw part, you've seen it in the anime, but details, and important stuff was left out, until then its identical.

I'm just bad with names and faces, so since they all wear the same outfits I get mixed up easily...
When they fought the Awakened Ones in the village in the north I completely lost track of who was who... x_x

I could always make out who is who, except for Noel and sophia, not because they look similar (they don't) I just couldn't ever burn the names into my mind, so now they are just Noel&Sophia instead of individuals. :)
Though the northwar could get a bit cramped, they barely showed the nonames, and the not nameless ones had features that were easily recognizeable.

As strange as this may sound but I always swap Helen and Deneve's names...
I think it's pretty easy distinguishing the names, mostly because there's that specific hairstyle or personality or charisma each claymore have. However, I find Miria and Galatea to be oddly similar.
Nah, I only had trouble in that with the Clare hair alike claymores, like theres one who's hair looks exactly the same as Clare's from one side, this also kinda applies to Helene, her hair can look the same aswell (but atleast her face is distinctive) :)
At the start I swapped their names too, but then I just had to memorize that Helene is the tomboyish one(Now thats something you won't mistake someone else for, as in shes the only one ever), and deneve is the useless.

i have a question, in Claymore extra scene 2, who was ranked #1 during Miria's time as #8?
Probably still Alicia because Ophelia was still #4 I believe.
It was Alicia by then, right after Teresa's class, the next had both Clare and Alicia in it.
Class 76 = Luciela & Raphaela
Class 77 = Teresa and former No.1 Rosemary, while Raphaela is wandering and stuff. (Though, I feel some holes here, and think that Teresa may have been No.1 for more then just one class, that would push Raphaela's up to class 75, but this comes only because I don't think that Teresa was a Claymore only for a sole 6-7 years)
Class 78 = Alicia & Beth, No.47 Clare
Ophelia's family got done in by the awakened Priscilla, which means she became a Claymore after Teresa died. (Unlike people like Galatea)
So by the time Ophelia got that far the only No.1 could be Alicia (though, at that time Raphaela should've been stronger then her)
Kyoko<3!
08-15-2007, 06:26 PM
Raphaela IS stronger than her, though I forget/don't know why she's only number 5.
Ilena (number 2 in Teresa's time until Priscilla advanced.) questioned her on the matter (and commented that she needed both arms to have even a chance of staying alive.), but Raphaela gave her no answer.
Raphaela isn't stronger then Alicia.
They would be on par, if Alicia couldn't just awaken.
Alicia is abyssal level, Raphaela is as strong as Luciela, Luciela is abyssal level.
But to be on that level you need to awaken. Plus, Raphaela has only 1 eye, thats a disadvantage.

Luciela was disgusting!lol but creative.BTW what was her special ability other than those disgusting mouths?She probally has speed but isley has homing arrows and riful has a sword proof body and killer ribbons.
Well who knows, her mouth stuff is pretty special as it instantly made Isley's arrows useless.
Riful don't got a swordproof body, they probably all have that (xcept Luciela obviously), the more Yoki, the harder they can make their body, so to cut Riful or Isley a great deal of force must be applied.
Riful's head can be cut down, problem is, that might not kill her, afterall, her human-shaped part is just ribbons aswell...
Luciela don't have/do that since if she gets cut or something, she'll devour the attacker/sword/xy.
So if I were to say what their known speciality's are:
Riful: weird body, as in it doesn't really show an obvious weakpoint, she might just hide herself underground while the human-shaped part of her does the talking.
Isley: Homing arrows or not, he seems to be able to morph hes body to quite a high level. As in, hes homing arrows are basically flying parts of himself, rather then "homing" they see and follow.
Luciela: As much as we saw, same body as Riful in another manner, while riful has no weakpoints, Luciela's body counters attack no matter where they come from, I guess (with a pretty disgusting counter).

Very true nood but by swordproof i meant that if you chop her,her body just splits and she probally doesn't feel it.About luciela,i think her teeth are used for defense so what does she attack with other than claws or w/e she has on her hands?
Tentacles with mouthes on it? :P
Well, you just have to cut Riful horizontally and not vertically.

Oh yeah i forgot about those tentacles/tails or w/e they are.Her abilites is the cause of why i think isley had the edge over her.Because she has to be a close range fighter if she wants to land attacks but isley could fight at both close and from far because of his arrows and tht other thing on his other hand lol.
Well, arrows are pretty useless, she just eats them as we saw, thats why Isley choose to go close range immedietly after the first shot.

True but anyhow i wish the manga had shown how they beat up one another but i still think isley won the fight.I would never forgive raphaela for what she did because imo luciela seemed to be the kindest and least evil abyssal one imo.I would have liked her to finish off isley another time.
Well he obviously won the fight, he just couldnt finish her of.
And Raphaela wasn't any more or less evil then the rest, she wasn't human, she wanted Raphaela to awaken etc...

You're right as usual nood.But i meant that isley was the one who tried to conquer the south and other lands,correct me if i'm wrong,and riful wanted to torture certain claymore to recruit strong awakened beings.Luciela just stood quietly in the south although she could have probally had evil plans to carry out.But at the end of the day sexy or not she still eats human guts lol.She probally just wanted raphaela to awakened and help defeat isley and then who wouldn't take over someone's land if they killed them.
Hmm? Though the grammar seems flawed cause I suck at wording, why would I change it as long as ts understandable?
Well, its true that she didn't do much, but Riful's torturing wasn't evil aswell, she wanted allies, and thats the only (non-hentai) way to do that, as it seems that she and Duphe were loners so to say, unlike Isley who had control over the awakened beings of the north from the beginning.
So in the end its not like Riful did anythign while waiting for Isley to make hes move, in the end she didn't have even one awakened claymore with her aside from Duphe.
So, IMO both of them were just waiting for the battle commence and then strike at the loser, or both.

So isley is the lone evil one then.I still think riful's mentality is flawed.I think luciela was killed off to quick.Although she had a backstory and all,she didn't even have a lover lol unless he or she was not mentioned.BTW it looks like were the only ones checking this forum but i won't like to see the thread die down so.....

Hows a tentaclemonster or a centaur any more creative, I dont get it, on the other hand Luciela was good.
well riful isn't the most creative but at least her characteristics and abilities are extremely distinguishable and idk....cooler-looking?
isely being a centaur is creative, IMO, and very pretty. To Priscilla, it looks like they took a yoma and put wings on it with an additional horn. Luciela reminded me of Andariel, from the game Diablo II. Anyone remember that? lol
Well, its true that she didn't do much, but Riful's torturing wasn't evil aswell, she wanted allies, and thats the only (non-hentai) way to do that
rofl @ non-hentai. Yeah the more i re-read the recent chatpers the more i think, "hentai!" or "tentacle sex!" or "yoma ass raping!"
but yeah
besides being psychotic, how is Riful's mentality flawed? I liked her plan.

Well i wonder if isley will be killed later in the manga and who will do it.I don't see riful dying but i know priscilla has to be killed off by Clare in the most dramatic and violent way ever.Even more violent that what ligardo got lol.
Riful's plan at the time was completly flawed. Unless he gets someone like number 1 or 2 awaken and join her, its stupid to recruit people like that. She got 12 awakene dbeings sent against them it took like a few seconds to take them out. Isley could've done the same. So whats the point in a useless cannon fodder army? She knows the diffrence in strength, and knows no matter how many of these comes Isley would kill them in seconds, without even slowing him down.
It was a stupid plan.
Imo, I hope in the end, the lucky 7 and Riful will side, Riful will kill Isley and they'll go for Priscilla or something, or vice versa, and then Clare helps in killing Priscilla for the plot's sake or something. :)
Funnily enough Priscilla barely differs from aflying Yoma (which exist), she got a horn, and armor-tits.
But I still like her form, it shows that shes just an utterly distorted human. :)

I've been wondering,what makes priscilla such a strong awakened being other than her former claymore rank.Is it her speed?because they are yoma that can fly and extend killer fingers.Maybe she has something else.Yea and i hope riful and the seven side against isley.But the organisation is still le
