She didn't eat Raki because she needed him alive to find the source of that "smell" that lingered on his person.
She kept him alive, afterwards, because he cared for her and watched over her those 7 years. She gave him a parting gift (he remarkably was able to resist those spike thingies for quite a while until Priscilla put her arm in his back...which means Raki's persistance/will-power is beyond anything we have seen from any Claymore as it almost instantly took other Claymores over. I mention this because people have pointed out on other forums that Raki may have had something done to him. That would explain his obviously superhuman agility, strength, and speed. I wonder what Isley did to him. If nothing was done, how the hell can he do all of this things? PIS?).
Priscilla did feed on stuff, however. I am not sure if she fed on the temporary "awakened being" rods or what. But she definitely fed on Beth. After feeding on Beth, she really did start to make everyone look like a punk b*tch.
I get why she didn't eat him during the 7 year skip but you'd think that Raki would be the first thing Priscilla would try to chomp on after trailing Clare's scent.
But didn't Priscilla kill Alicia first before feeding on Beth. I mean she was pwning things and was only a shell of her former self.
It probably was PIS as to how Raki was able to resist the spikes prior to Priscilla's arm being put in him. I mean even Beth and Dauf were affected by them.
Beth was impaled by a big one while in human form, Dauf got his on purpose. Raki only got a small one in the shoulder for a short time, and they do take a little time to get going.

No, she fed on Beth, first. Drank her blood. Then they both awakened and teamed up against Priscilla.
Of all the humans, Raki was the only one we saw stabbed by them. We could assume that humans are not as influenced by them to explain why he was able to resist as long as he did.
Then there's the other theory which seems more plausible: Isley did something to Raki which would explain Raki's super human abilities.
We don't know if Dauf got his on purpose. Priscilla only asked herself if he got impaled on purpose but we never found out for sure. Considering he was practically immobile, we would be safer betting on him not getting impaled on purpose: how could he do it on purpose?
They do take a little time to get going: "little" is the key word. They take very little. More than enough time for Raki to be taken over while he and Priscilla had their conversation before Priscilla decided to give him her forearm.

It was okay until the new "Abyssal One" started to WTF PWN everyone. I don't like those types of odds. I don't want it to be hopeless like that and then have everyone survive when they shouldn't.
Well there was already a massacre of fodder before, perhaps we can see that again. Besides if Miria could barely take Hysteria on pre awakened then how do they expect to beat her post awakening.
BTW Hysteria's new walking statue status form is kind of stupid IMHO. In fact these new awakenings are kind of lackluster in general barring perhaps Roxanne's.
I skipped to the last page of this thread, and was wondering how you guys know so much about what has happened. I've only seen the 1st season on Netflix and it was amazing, now i'm searching for season 2. You guys reading something or is there a season 2?
Yeah...the manga has gone far beyond the Northern War but I'll try my best not to spoil it. I'm still pissed that the anime ended like that. Shit Madhouse couldn't just wait for more material?
Decent chapter. Played out how we would have expected it. Wonder what comes after this? While she just kill the other two abyssal ones like they are nothing just to shock us again (turning this into Bleach) or will a plan finally work for once?
Nice to see Roxanne finally show her abyssal power.
And yea, Isley and Luciela had more of a feeling of majesty to them. While the zombie Abyssals are continuing their grudges from life. Awakening just brought their monstrous sides forward.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The "Clash of the Zombie Claymore" is finally over and it appears Miria's plan actually worked. Cassandra was also able to one-up Roxanne and got a meal in the process. Hysteria was apparently the No.1 of Teresa and Rosemary's generation prior to Rosemary being promoted of course.
The highlights were seeing Raki again and Priscilla getting an incarnation from Hysteria's remains.
