Claymore

Ah, Teresa 🙂

And yay, kidclaire!

Yes, I like Teresa n'stuff. 🙂

She's mean, sometimes, but she's always elegant and nice. She's a unique character that I love for some reason. 😉

Thus the return of Mrs. Absolutely ****ing flawless! But I would like to know exactly how she's doing this.

I liked seeing little Clare again and stuff. I also find it funny how Teresa thinks Raki's been tapping that.

I know, right? very unexpected to say the least, but at least now we'll get Priscilla be on the receiving end of a beatdown now after all this time.

Well, Clare could just put an extra stitch in there for Raki (remember, Claymore warriors are pretty much bisected and are stitched up the center).

That was impressive of Cassandra, even if Teresa was almost certainly holding back 🙂

Lol'd at Clare talking to Teresa like a kid that just came home from school.

As for Cassandra, well she was kind of the most powerful, or most impressive, of the zombie no.1 warriors. Also it appears that the rest of the awakened beings still retain their will even after assimilation.

Oh and there are some other curious things like Priscilla not trying to eat Raki or that with her gone the island, in a weird way, will be saved

Well, it should be obvious and confirmed that the strongest warrior is Teresa, by far. 🙂

She even asked Cassandra to use some of her awakened being powers to even the match. 🙂

So good to have Teresa back 🙂.

She's...the best thing about Claymore. Years ago, when I first started reading Claymore, I thought she was hot. Dude, I cannot believe how much time has passed. I started reading this manga when I was in high school!!!!!

I myself haven't seen Teresa since high school either.

Well, I was watching the anime back then. Then, I jumped to the manga after a while due to Madhouse's filler ending leaving such a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyways, Teresa's flashback made me get out of my "hate flashbacks" phase I had at the time due to Naruto's constant flashbacks.

Teresa'a flashback arc, and War in the North is still two of my many favorite arcs in all of anime/manga.

Yes, it was very well-written and, some may not agree, illustrated. I liked the art.

So new chapter is out and stuff

Spoiler:
I'm a tad confused on the first part...does Teresa still think Raki's hitting that? Jokes aside it was nice to see Teresa talk about how the other warriors helped Clare out, though she did leave out the dead one. Though it was also kind of funny how Teresa had a logical reason for letting Priscilla power up...at least it was clever from the perspective I read it. I wish we could'Ve gotten more of the actual fight but at least now we're one step closer to possibly moving this story to the main land

I think this chapter finally provided some clarity as to WTF is happening.

Clare's awakened being state is literally becoming Teresa. That makes sense since Clare's "Asarakam" flesh was anyone from the Draconic tribe, but a fellow Claymore.

http://claymore.wikia.com/wiki/Draconic_Tribe

So, naturally, she should awaken with the "flesh" of the powered up being that resides in her.

This brings up another question: if that's the case, when Claymores awaken, are they awakening into the Asarakam whose flesh was implanted into their body?

Meaning, just like Clare is awakening into Teresa, are the other awakened beings simply awakening to look like whatever creature from the Draconic Tribe was implanted into them?

possibly, but then there is something else to consider here: Teresa seems like she has the ability to draw on her own yoki and awaken. meaning that Clare awakened into Teresa and Teresa in turn could awaken as well... so if that happens, then what the hell does that say about the flesh she was implanted with?

I thought the organization was just using the infected humans in order to make Claymore since the Dragon kin decomposed too quickly. In addition wouldn't that make awakened beings original Azarakam rather than deceased ones.

Also if Clare has actually awakened, does that mean her stigma has be heal and she can actually get some since Teresa thinks she has already 😛

I like how Teresa can just kinda pseudo-copy various special moves.

She did that to the lady who invented the Quick Sword, too, remember?

I forget her name...

But, yeah, she pretty much copies all of those moves on a whim and almost perfectly replicates it on her first try. She definitely deserves her "Strongest Number 1 in History" title.

Irene/Ilene

It's funny how at first we thought she was a 'jack of all trades, master of none but reading,' and it turns out, 'nope, she really is just one of the best in everything.'

In this Claymore chapter the Priscilla fight is still going on and we get an additional piece of information as to why Priscilla is so Uber. Oh and while I thought it was a tad underwhelming

Spoiler:
Teresa awakens. I seriously how it's just the partial awakening trick Clare uses because this is kind of lame.
