Claymore Chapter 103

[Solace]

Welcome to the monthly discussion thread for Claymore, Chapter 103.

The thread was created before the chapter was published. Usually false spoilers start to appear early so (naturally) people always need a place to discuss them.

Thread Guidelines

• Raw requests and offers are not permitted anywhere on this forum.
• The Claymore manga is licensed by Viz so questions about scanlations or answers about scanlation are not allowed. Remember that AnimeSuki does not enable downloading of any licensed anime or manga.
• Discuss your expectations of the chapter if it has not been published yet.
• Be polite to your fellow forum members.
• Please try to keep the discussion on topic.
• Spoilers will not be policed in this thread, so if you haven't read the chapter yet, just stay out if you don't want to read spoilers.

Since Claymore is licensed by Viz the following posts are not allowed

• Asking where you can find Claymore manga downloads, scans or translations.
• Linking to Claymore manga downloads, scans or translations.
• Posting Claymore scans or translations.
• Discussing Claymore scan groups (past or present).

These rules applies to the raws as well.

You still are allowed to discuss the manga, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story itself.

Summaries are allowed, it's just that full translations are against the forum rules. The odd image or a translation of a line or paragraph is acceptable, that's considered "fair use" but more than that isn't allowed. If you need to post a single image (or preferably only the relevant part of an image) for a reason related to discussion you can put it on an image host, but never ever post a link where people can see the entire manga.

- Dauf's left arm is cut off leaving no arms, and he absorbs the poles on his back to create cat-arms.
- Priscilla stops to rest while Dauf keeps beating her. Her thoughts come to trying to remember who the person (Teresa) in her memories is.

Priscilla's thoughts translated from Chinese to English, may differ from official Japanese to English:

- Priscilla finally remembers and kills Dauf instantly by cutting him into pieces.

Priscilla who has finally recovered her memories!
An unprecedented crisis is charging towards Clare!
To be continued...in July issue.

Just transferring the spoiler from CH 102 to CH 103 thread. Many thanks to Mord for the spoiler, yononaka for a clear translation of the spoiler, and Solace for creating the thread so promptly.

Repost in respective spoiler threads as needed.

Claymore
Deneve's group attempt to flee while Dauf and Priscilla are fighting.
While Dauf keeps attacking her, Priscilla tries to remember something she's forgotten.
Finally having recalled the memory of the time she killed Teresa, she utters "I'm in luck. I get to kill her* one more time" ... to be continued
In the end Dauf was killed instantly.

*presumably Teresa, although "aitsu" is non-(gender)-specific and I suppose technically she could mean the youma that killed her family that she projected onto Teresa in the end.

For those wondering why I gutted the thread -

I tolerate some raw discussion but I won't tolerate the topic being dominated about it. The reason the thread is up early is to discuss the chapter itself, not when or where you'll actually be able to read it.

If you want to talk about why you can't find raws as easily these days, go to the manga forum and read the sticky.

[Shiek927]

Wait, so you can't talk about the spoilers or even speculate about the chapter 0_o?

Reread my warning. I never said you couldn't discuss the CONTENT of the chapter. I only said I didn't want the thread to be dominated by discussion of the lack of raws or the recent problems with finding raws. There's a thread in the Manga forum for that topic, it doesn't need to clog up spoiler and chapter talk in this thread.

Spoiler for Claymore 103:

Ha!! I knew it Priscilla is and always was evil even when she was a claymore. She needs to die NOW!!! Making fun of Teresa like that, Priscilla is only alive because Teresa was holding back. So I guess Destoyer Dauf gets 1-shot doesnt he. Damn, I wanted him 2 put up a good fight with awakend Priscilla. But I guess thats asking for too much.

Spoiler for 103:

Yeah I actually thought that yagi might surprise us and actually make destroyer dauf stand somewhat of a chance against awakened priscilla instead of dying in two seconds like many people thought he would. But I guess I was wrong.

Well he forced her to use her awakened form for the first time in roughly 10+ years so at least he gets credit for that

Eh...if he didn't someone(Miria or clare, especially cause of the fact that she remembered teresa) would've cause I think priscilla awakening was part of the plot anyways

no, the only reason she awakened is because her normal form could not pierce Duph's skin, she was forced to awaken so she could kill him.

[Shiek927]

Priscilla's words make perfect sense considering her mindset; her Awakened persona killed Teresa, is perfectly aware of it, and of course is sinister about it. Their is no irrational fear of Teresa like the anime, and considering she killed Teresa, of course she's callous about it.

no, the only reason she awakened is because her normal form could not pierce Duph's skin, she was forced to awaken so she could kill him.

That's not true; her mallable arms were the same color as her human form, unlike when she awakened and pierced Isley.

Yea your right but i don't think either Clare or Miria would of had the same effect.

[FormerAbyssalone]

Spoiler for Cm103 what do u think:):

Well I stand by the fact that lil Pris is evil and needs 2 die!! I wonder how Pris killed Destroyer Dauf?

[evil_kenshin]

Former, in the chapter 103 thread there's no need for spoiler tags

Oh, ok sorry everone.

[Nixl]

Can no longer find a reliable raw..that sucks, oh well.

I am glad Yagi did not take a page from the anime. However, I am starting to wonder just how bad/good Priscilla memory is to begin with. Just fighting Dauf and chasing after Claire gave her that memory. Does she even remember her time with Isley/Raki? A better question maybe is whether she even cares.

She remembered that she killed Teresa, yet she potentially stated the wish to "kill it again" even knowing that T is dead. Even with her memories, she still is crazy.

Bleh so many questions, and I cannot organize them.

Time to place your bets about the spoiler...

1. The spoiler is the entire chapter it will be halfly taken up by the 3 fleeing, the other half being Priscilla's memory recall and the Priscilla vs Infected Dauf. There will be no other plots going on this month.
2. The spoiler is only half the plot; Dietrich, Yuma, and Cynthia will be the other half
3. The spoiler is only half the plot; Miria, Tabitha, Galatea, Clarice, and/or Miata show up in the other half (they are in the (West/East/Holy City)
4. The spoiler is only half true; Raki will be the rest of the chapter
5. The spoiler is false; I believe ______________ will happen
6. I believe it's only partially true _______ will happen, ________ won't. Maybe _________ might also happen.

Place your bets involving Dauf. Dauf will die after...

1. after taking a single hit (this chapter)
2. after taking two hits (this chapter)
3. after taking 3-5 hits (this chapter)
4. after taking 6+ hits (this chapter)
5. Priscilla toys with him, however he'll die after only 1 true hit (this chapter)
6. Priscilla toys with him, however he'll die after only 2 true hits (this chapter)
7. Priscilla toys with him, however he'll die after only 3+ true hits (this chapter)
8. Dauf puts up a good fight by some miracle, will survive the chapter
9. Dauf will never die
10. Dauf kills Priscilla
11. Other __________________

[Nixl]

My bet goes to

Round 1
Bet 1, 5 pages or so of Helen and Deneve giving reaction faces.

Round 2
Bet 1. Pris using her nails to cut Dauf to pieces (so 1 hit). Then Priscilla gives a callous face looking off into the distance.

[evil_kenshin]

I'd say

either 1 or 2 for your first one

and 1 or 2 for second (Can't imagine Duaf taking more than 2 hits and living if Priscilla is serious)

Destroyer Dauf will die in this chapter after taking 3-5 hits but ofcourse he'll get a few hits in The rest of the plots will be split up between the 3 fleeing and Dietrich and co.
