But my biggest problem with her is just how cheap she was. That was no way for Teresa to die. |

As for a deal between awakened ones and the organization..........instead of convincing AOs to eat non-human flesh (fat chance), why not just feed them all the prisoners on death row for crimes like murder and rape? Would keep everyone happy. Last edited by Amirali; 2007-07-19 at 03:38. |

And even if someone figures out Galatea's ability... It still means he has to go all out for each and every blow. That means a big mental strain, and no little feints, no quick jabs... Well, those don't seem to be Duff's style anyway, but it could be more annoying depending on the opponent type. |

Her other surprise is that she hold the youma capacity the highest among the claymores.. but she hates being ugly, so thats why she uses the manipulation instead.. I mean, if she was to face Dauf alone.. I dont think Dauf is capable of knowing the secret himself ^^

Great episode and Galatea is realy cool
After I watched I continued reading the manga, there were 2 things that cought my attention though. One being that in the anime Galatea was a lot more condesending towards Clare; for example the part where she told clare about Riful being the true boss around there; "Even you should be able to sense it" in the manga a line alike "You are pretty good at sensing Yoma, aren't you ? You should be able to sense it" apeared. There was an other line like that which gave me the Idea the manga Galatea seemed to be more interesting in clare as a person. I'm wondering what will come of it. ( Or maybe I'm just nitpicking on this ) Last edited by NoSanninWa; 2007-07-23 at 02:44. Reason: spoiler deleted |

It is not that easy. First of all how can you convince AB only eat what you give to them? So far, ABs seem to be proud and believing in their power. Hard to believe they like to be fed as pets to make peace with mankind. As for the food preference, they like human's entails more than anything else, but it does not mean all human are same to them. It is safe to assume their preference is similiar to Yumo, so they prefer soft flesh to tough meat, prefer youth to elder, prefer female to male. If ABs believe they can wander freely and get their favorite food, why bother to eat those criminals who are most likely to be tasteless middle-aged men.

Arent you forgetting that she was more chivalric about the fight to begin with? You could easily say the same (low tactics, cheap) about irene&co, because they planned her to backstab theresa out of "stealth mode". |

As far as a rebellion against feeding prisoners to yoma............well, its surprising how much injustice goes on in a medieval society. For instance, bonded labour still goes on in some societies today. A landlord gives a poor peasant a loan at exorbitant rates, cooks up some books and makes the guy work the whole of his life at slashed rates just to keep up with his debt servicing. Then when he dies, his children have to take up that bonded labour also. I could also give examples of honour killings, where women are executed in a few backward countries, for the mere suspicion of being friendly with a strange man. Right in the Claymore universe, you have the Org treating the Claymores like dirt. No rebellions have started against any of these miscarraiges of justice Compared to that, I don't think its that offensive to feed highlevel criminals (murderers and rapists) to Awakened Ones.........I'm sure that a segment of population even in today's times would agree such people deserve to be eaten. The only problem I see with the idea is that the Awakened Ones have a inherently dismissive attitude of humanity , like herbert points out..........just giving them food as tribute wouldn't stop them from taking what they want, when they want. |

That idea involves, mostly likely the org to admit 'oops, we made those claymores which in turn became bigger nastier AOs and sorry, you ordinary folks who used to pay us to kill smallfry yomas now gotta just cop it, tough!' Not going to work...The org is powerful from the money it collects and the monopoly it controls in the perception that only they can deal with monsters. To say 'hey, let's negotiate' is like writing off the organisation's whole reason of existence. |

Interesting episode. Sadly from the episode preview jean has awakened, and i don't forsee an AO being clare's ally. Galatea seems a little weak if you ask me, but theres the possibility that her yoki powers also increase her ability to manipulate her opponent's yoki. When a number 3 and the main character can't take down a "grunt", though, i can't imagine the strength of riful. I dont see riful letting them leave the place easily.

May be Awakened Ones won't accept to be feed by humans. But that depends of the approach. They can make sacrifices to the Awakened Ones as if they were gods, but I don't think ABs in general were as vain as let their ego get high fot that. The other one is simply, send the sacrifice directly to the AB lair. As happened with the male AB that killed the claymores were sent to him, they'll just eat what is sent to them.
Probably AB would be able to eat anythin, at least they won't die poisoned for eating an apple. But It's organisms may reject to asimilate it, or may asimilate but since it don't cover their needs they would probable became weaker o ill. I'd be quite the same as trying to feed a crocodiles with vegetables. Btw, The teacher of a friend of mine that is studying chemistry once said, referring to eating meat, that the closer that the proteins of that meat is to the proteins of your own flesh, it's better to assimilate. So they need flesh of a specie near to themselves and cannibalism would be an option too. Anh_Minh Noel's Ability was to have a lot of brute strength. It's said by Irene that Noel's strength is greater than Teresa's. Noel may be able to take on that skin by Brute Strength. And Galatea's Abilities doesn't seem specifically oriented to fight even though she is strong. Still Teresa's Generation seems a bit "boring", comparing to new claymores. (As phamtom Miria, or what could be the ability of jean). But it seems that even if Teresa's Generation don't have special tricks they are more well rounded, but we didn't get to see it.

I gave it a 10, the fight scenes were very fun to watch, especially when Claire got too cocky and Duff messed her leg/ankle up. Did it look like Jeane awakened? I mean whatever was coming out of her body is proof enough, but what if she just goes back like Claire has been able to? I know Galatea could just take Jeane's yoki down to reasonable levels, but eh, they are away from one another.

Not a bad episode, I suppose. The art was terrible at times, but the pacing was good and it was fun to watch. But one thing that really irks me is the HUGE amount of dialogues they omitted - most of them were really important, too. The explanation about Galatea's power, the relationship between the man of the north and Priscilla, Riful explaining why humans suck - just a small section of the parts they omitted. What the hell. |:
