[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Teresa- still a badass! I wonder if Rosemary got promoted in part because of her victory there.
Hysteria really didn't last long once hit. The impalement probably wasn't too bad, but then Cassandra's mouth...
Cassandra winning was just about the best possible result they could've hoped for. Actually dealing with Cassandra would be difficult and high-casualty, but she doesn't seem to be the sort to look for trouble.
Roxanne probably would've wanted to make herself a large territory, and Hysteria would've been pretty unstoppable without just the right Claymore.
I do wonder what Cassandra palns to do now. I mean the Organization is all but ruined and she's now an Abyssal One.
Well the crew now has to worry about what will happen with the Priscilla incarnation/re-awakening, unless of course that was just an image created from Hysteria dying.
So, Theresa took out a #1 when she was a high level single digit, eh?
That fact that she stood off in the distance smiling like a b*tch tells me that she knew she had delivered the crippling blow and did not need to do anymore. That's some cold-calculating precision. That also tells me what I had suspected: Theresa was one of the strongest #1s if not the strongest one.
Well Teresa inflicting the critical blow on Hysteria makes me all the more mad not being able to see her awakened.
Do wonder where the author is going to take this story next. I mean there's only one Abyssal One, the organizations ruined, and unless Priscilla develops into something more than just an overpowered freak of nature, I'm clueless.
So....would Miria be a Low/mid tier no#1 or a high tier #2 assuming that she was still part of the organization? I think she's a bit over the no#3 range but that's just me.
Priscilla is already such a being. A Starved Priscilla was able to take out two Abyssal level (the twin #1s) claymore at once. In fact, the twins were designed to take out the abyssal ones and she took them both on.
We also got proof in this last chapter that Priscilla is indeed beyond Abyssal level.
I was talking more about villain direction more than power. I mean Priscilla making everyone her ***** is well and good but due to her rather limited goals, she seems only to want to kill Teresa twice, I'm not seeing much progression for her.
I mean I'm not even sure who's the next big villain is going to be. I mean the "Destroyer" doesn't appear to be returning and Cassandra seems rather content on being left alone.
Priscilla is still the big villain. She manifested herself via the dying youki of Roxanne, remember? She is still alive and her consciousness is still intact. We know shit is about to hit the fan and they all plan to release Clare.
By releasing Clare, they will release the stupid tower thingie and Priscilla.
Well even though I wouldn't mind seeing the Destroyer again, the ghosts have no way to deal with it and now Abyssal Ones to distract it unless Priscilla fights it first.
Im more concerned about Priscilla's grand finale since I can't find the right words to describe her right now. As is all she wants to do is kill Clare and eat people. Kind of small scale mind set for someone as powerful as Priscilla
Oh...and it was Hysteria dying that created the image.
That's reminds me...I noticed that the zombie no#1 were supposed to be under the organization's influence at least enough to kill all the rebel Claymore, however awakening seemed to free them from said control out of rage from left over grudges as seen with Cassandra and Roxanne.
So how come Hysteria still wanted to kill the rest of the Claymores? Well ignoring the whole Miria putting a sword in her throat.
It does strike me her style makes it really, really hard for her to awaken. She barely ever uses any Youki power, and the amount she used against *Awakened Rosemary* is still pretty far into the safe zone for Claymore, and she almost never needs to do that much.
Clare kinda took control of it, though. Dunno what's up with it now.
At that point, just because she's an Awakened. They tend to be territorial and dangerous.
What about the Dragon Kin in the continent?
Miria was just matching a high-tier No. 1 blow for blow, and even managed to kill her (though due to willingness to sacrifice rather than power).
Miria's a mid tier no. 1 verging on high, I'd say.
Before she got her awakened phantom, she was probably a low-tier no.1.
This series is/was better than HST. Why does it have to end? WHYYYY!?!?!?!?
I want to see Raiki reunited with Clare. I want to see Priscilla defeated or converted from her evilness. I want to see Theresa revived er something. I want a wrap up the the whole series.
