Hi, I'm new here, so I'll add my 0,02 PLN.

It's not that you cannot talk by not having lower part of your body. It is troublesome though, definitely. Remember, Clare is not an ordinary human and even not an ordinary claymore.

And she has not said sth else. Clare said to Helen and Deneve that she's sorry and the mentioned part about remaining responsibility was just elided at that page ("I..." indicates that there was than it has been shown). Nothing new from Yagi. I can agree that this monologue of almost dead one doesn't fit into presented rapid course of events.

According to her life code everything that stands in her way should be annihilated and they stayed in her way. Unless she couldn’t do it after Clare-Raciella started attacking her (which would suggest she's not that godly). She also needed only one of them so she could have killed the other. I don’t believe she did it from the kindness of her heart. What’s more she should have suspected that Clare couldn’t go far nor cloak her youki so she had to be dead or be very close to it, she didn't need Deneve to tell her what happened to Clare if she used her brain.

3) Priscilla’s reaction and her question “What did I come her for?” was one of the stupidest things in the chapter. As if meeting with Clare again or killing her would change anything. Besides, she wasted like 20 minutes not 20 years and she sounded like she was searching for her a long time. Seriously, somebody kill her please.
After all goddess is only one and it was Teresa. (I'd like to believe that Teresa was capable of taking down Priscilla in its AB form, but I bet that releasing 10% of yoma wouldn't be enough even for her to kill that annoying germ. It's really sad that Priscilla boggled Teresa, that was already too soft thanks to Clare, but she should be cautious to the very end, so it's still Teresa's fault.)

Priscilla is always shown unbalanced. This the problem of overpowered characters (and mangakas using them) . She has flown to the Riful instantaneously, but has problems with catching a few claymores? And even if she's next to them she's talking calmly, blah blah blah. Priscilla, according to what we've seen, could kill all those pitiful claymores countless times w/o sweating at all and going even with 10% of her power. Oh, I almost forget, she is shrunken now (thanks to Raki), so it's beyond our imagination what she would be w/o 7-year post. OTOH she may die from starvation, no?

Agree.

And Dee not only did deliver their message (and risked her life, she couldn't be sure that she wouldn't be killed by Miria or someone else) but earlier she saved Helen and Deneve by risking her life and rescuing them from ZACS. Now she saved their friends and it's still not enough to her...
Many people think that returned favor should be a bigger one - being a similar, but doubled, in terms of count or its greatness. It's not that unnatural, especially if we're talking about decent soldier.

7) Yuma that could regenerate better than Cynthia was also a shocker to me. A while back with “the rest of her strength” she managed to help Cynthia and now she was able to do the same for Deneve (sure, her injury was much less serious but…). If she keeps it up next time she will regenerate Clare from scratch.
Don't be so mean to her. She's already exhausted. But IMHO Yuma should be more exhausted here, because Cynthia take a nap and she wasn't the curing one claymore lately.
Yuma is becoming somehow a second Clare, from 40th nothing to a warrior gaining skills in eyeblink. But Deneve case was a bit different. We've already seen a few times youki flow interference, so this shouldn't be that hard.

Seriously, how come could she notice that Clare was talking as if she was a part of this pasta? How can you deduce sth like that ? Unless Clare said it outright. I have some possibilities in mind but still it looks a bit far-fetched to me. What’s even funnier a while later she said that she knows nothing even though it was clear that she knew the most out of all people. Yagi should have read what he wrote a page back.
They spend a few years together. They understand each other w/o additional words to some extent. Sure, she can misjudge the reasons and goals, but it shouldn't be the case here, at least she's correct with the vendetta part.

But what with promise made to Raki? Clare won't vanish that easily, I am sure of it.
