[HegemonKhan]

You know, all joking aside, I would have to agree. It would take a team effort to defeat Priscilla.

It was Priscilla's.

You know that will never happen...its one of the things that makes this manga so great actually.

Considering the fact that it took Teresa quite a bit of time to eliminate Claymore numbers #2 through #5, and Priscilla is able to defeat two number one ranked Claymores, in awakened form, while in human form, in something like 4 seconds, you'd have to believe her almost invincible in one-on-one combat.

She is at least three times stronger than any character that has appeared in the story up to this point, and that's being generous to the other characters. Imagine if she actually took a fight seriously, or bothered using a sword or weapon of some kind.

There is no reason for Clare or anyone else to get a power up - nor is there a need.
There are 2 super powers - Priscilla and Raciella. Raciella wants to kill everything, while Priscilla, in all liklihood, is going after Raciella. They'll finish each other off - or at least drain themselves to a point where Clare can finish it. Remember, despite that vile, despicable and unforgivable cheapshot, Yagi has been working hard at redeeming Priscilla's character. I just don't see a Priscilla/Clare as likely anymore.

The new enemy is quite clearly the Org, and there is nothing to indicate Clare and the gang are not strong enough for that.

hedgy... that's just ridicious. chances are, teresa would've been twice as powerful than priscilla. not x8. now that's laughable. if it's really true, clare could probably only release half of that power and maybe it's enough or not to defeat prissy. if not, she's gonna need help.

Well since Alicia, Beth, and Miata are gone, that only really leaves Rachel and Audrey. They aren't a threat, so the only thibg the organization has going for it is the abyss feeders.

As much as I like Cynthia, I don't mind seeing her go. I do not know what else she could bring to the table at this point of the story. If it was Priscilla's yoki that Claire is really sensing, I'm afraid that could mean the story is near its ending, which I doubt coz there are many things that are still unresolved i.e. Raki in the hand of the Org. Maybe Claire is sensing someone else's yoki. Whatever it is, I hope Yagi will do a great job in writing the plot. I do not want Claymore to end in similar fashion as School Rumble.

Considering Riful's reaction I doubt it could be anyone elses yoki as everyone else's is overshadowed by Priscilla.

But she didn't help restore Galatea's eyes though!

That is one kick in the ass, I have to say. I didn't even think about that. In fact, I forgot all about it. That'll be a bitch and a half.

[germanturkey]

reading the chapter again, its touching how Beth cried when Alicia died. Even Pris said they were supposed to be dolls, but they showed Beth showed they were still human by crying. which sort of leads back to the "i might be a monster now, but i was born a human" statement by Jean (maybe Jean? forgot..) maybe there's a deeper plot line here where being a human is a driving force to do what they do. one which Miria and the rest of them have forgotten in their quest for revenge.

I think that way too, I guess Yagi is trying to convey the idea that the human spirit is unconquerable, even the Abyssal Ones at some point had show a remain of their humanity. Isley's regrets were that he did not spend more time with Priscilla and Raki. Riful and Dauff in a twisted way, care for the well being of the other.

Alright alright.. How could Clair be FAMILIAR with the Pricilla's erotic youki when she wasn't even a "Warrior" back than? Oi? Don't tell me that she got the "instinct" from Teresa... Man this could be a debate philosophically now. (Mind/Body/Experience/Instinct.)

Anyways, would I sound weird if I said that seeing Pricilla for these past few chapters has been quite orgasmic?

P.S

Did Pricilla manipulated Beth-Kitten's youki this chapter?! Another god-eye we have here... Did she just learned it? Or was it one of her abilities.

SHIAAT THAT WAS AWESOME! I never see these in any other mangas. ==

I think she simply deflected beth-kitty's attack... with her fingers.

[Celestial Teapot]

Am I the only one that thinks this chapter sort of makes the Isley vs Luciella fight meaningless?

I mean, wasn't the whole point of that fight to knock out an AO...? So no one could stop Priscilla?

Um, Isley, she seems to have that covered on her own.

Yagi made her way too powerful, imo.

Well the Isley Luciella fight was of course done to erase that small portion of a chance in killing Priscilla. Even though Priscilla is very strong and Riful acknowledges that after Isley beats Luciella, you still never know. Isley knew this and took no chances.

I am glad pris was so strong this chapter. Hopefully, it can break that horrid power level debate that happens so often of X = 2 AOs, etc.

I thought the general point that the chapter made was that pris isn't going to defeated just by some "powerlevel" technicality. It also didn't make pris a dumb child-like creature like in the anime. I don't think any character has really been able to accurately read priscilla (excluding Teresa maybe). Even Riful having already seeing pris the first time was still shocked.

It is kind of funny seeing how quickly everything is spiraling out of control. With the mainland background of DoD vs the organization it reminds of a Cold War scenario. Where bigger, and stronger weapons keep getting churned out, but to what end.

[Fenrir_valindri]

The two of them were still able to injure her, and it is unknown if Isley even knew the true depth of Priscilla's abilities. Not to mention Priscilla was mentally unstable and he couldn't be sure she would fight at her fully capacity.

However, whatever happened at that village that caused her to come to Raciella seems to have awakened her AB personality once again, so she is disturbingly tranquil.

For those complaining about Priscilla's power, you do realize that this has been blatantly spelled out for us multiple times?

Priscilla had the potential to surpass Teresa; Rubel claims she unlocked all that potential and became the strongest AB.

Priscilla's initial encounter with Isley showed she was still unconsciously holding back some of that power even after awakening. (Which was hinted at in the Databooks as well) That is until he caused her to regress to her child-like mind, freeing her from that unconscious block, and we know the result of that.

Riful realized she had to be allied with another Abyssal One to STAND A CHANCE against her, and even then, she apparently didn't read her strength correctly (thanks to Priscilla's talent in concealing her abilities).

Now we see Priscilla take on both Awakened Alicia and Beth and slaughter them both in her human form. It isn't like it doesn't add up, she has consistently been the most powerful being on the island since her awakening.

There was more consequences of that fight then just removing an AO to "protect" Priscilla from a tag team attack. Such as Raphaela merging with her sister... now the whole destroyer angle, Clare gaining Raphaela's memories, and Clare/Helen/Deneve releasing there yoki.

Also I don't think Isley's intent was ever to protect Priscilla by removing a threat to her. It was to convince Priscilla that he caused her to gain access to the south to find her family, so she would rely on him due to her mental reversion... However at the same time if she ever saw the man she depend on in trouble she would fight for him. In short Isley was setting himself up to be the brains of the group and Priscilla the ace up his sleeve.

Think of it this way... even if Priscilla still had enough mental capacity to realize that the two of them weren't a treat to her. She would appreciate Isley's gesture of not taking any chances. Plus if Priscilla ever regained her cognitive skills Isley could always claim that was his intent all along, to help her.

So I believed his comments were for both Riful and Priscilla. For Priscilla for all the above reason plus so he could gesture that he was keeping his word to her. For Riful so she wouldn't attack Isley in his weakened condition, this being Isley's way of guaranteeing that he wouldn't be killed by Riful... just encase Priscilla had anther mental episode with his life on the line. Plus in the long run it serving as a way to keep Riful in check when Isley cemented his control over Priscilla. His comments weren't his belief of her exact power level but a way that he wouldn't have to rely on her power and use only his own power to win victory over Luciella, Riful and the Org.

Though as we all know Isley eventually started to care for Priscilla and Raki. So for some reason (likely the AF attack but totally unconfirmed) Isley forced them to leave the south but oddly still cared about them and wanted more time with them (supporting the idea of the AF attack being his reason for making them leave the south but confirming nothing).

[Torri_fay_torren@hot]

I feel sad for Alicia and Beth. The spore awakened beth against her will, and then to see her futily attack Priscilla was horrible. It got even worse when Alicia awakened as well ,essentually giving up her humanity to try and save her sister. All for nothing. They did have feelings after all.

Say what you want about Yagi, but he has a nack for makeing you care, or at least be intersted in a character that you know very little about. Other examples bieng Flora, Undine, and possibly even Jean. They weren't in there very long but all there deaths mattered.
