Claymore Chapter 103

[Ryuken]

The thing is, I really don't get why Prissy is holding every thing back, then again, it is just like her. Especially, her awakened self is very much used to playing it as if she intended to slow things down deliberately.

Hope this works. Not full translation and points of information.

Spoiler for summary spoilers:

Chapter is called Reminiscence of the Abyss.

- Helen and Deneve head in the direction of the Destroyer to escape Priscilla while she fights Dauf.
- 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:

"Ah ah...it's this one...The feeling of almost being ripped apart...When was this...I experience this a long long time ago...Under pain, humiliation and confusion...the memory that was forgotten...I...seem to have remembered a bit. A blood stained sword...and a headless corpse. But no matter how hard I try to remember, I can't remember that face. No matter how hard I reminisce, it's still buried under a veil of darkness. After that, I'm being swallowed by that blurred out face, losing my consciousness and all my memories. This is too much. Just for a memory I do not wish to remember. All other memories have no choice but to be erased...Ah well, except for that one, it's like a forbidden memory for me."

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

"But I'm sure am lucky, I... (kills Dauf) can kill that person once again."

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

[Solace]

A good enough summary that I used it in the opening post. Thanks.

However, like any annoying villain, they can always come back thanks to some annoying technicality. In this potential case, Raki's arm spreading the infection inside the org.

Oh well, it is not like I have ever gotten anything right with claymore. I mean...cat-hands...cat-hands.

edit: Thanks for the translation Weils!

I agree about the destroyer's main body dying but Priscilla seems like she is someone that will live to the last few chapters. When she was first reintroduced and appeared as a small child everyone (including myself)thought yagi was intending for her redemption.

But the last few chapters have shown she is still the end boss (don't get me wrong the ultimate villain is the org as a whole but she is the strongest monster that needs to be defeated especially by Clare) so we still have awhile yet before she is gone.

Even if the final 4 forces are ghosts vs org vs priscilla vs destroyer raki or some combination like that Priscilla will be the last villain standing.

It still seems really short for a chapter

Well, atleast it gives a good set up for next chapter where definetly a lot of good things will happen.

Technically its out but for what you mean it should be accessible in a few days (so no more than 3)

Next chapter its more than likely the main body of the destroyer will attack Priscilla in revenge (Helen and Deneve carrying Clare are heading to the main body) for destroying its tentacles. Deneve already caused the destroyer to want to kill Priscilla but the main body is not in reach yet but next chapter it will be.

The official date has not been announced of course, but we can guesstimate...
Chapter 103 will most likely be in volume 19.

Volume 14: Mar 3 /2009
Volume 15: Nov 3 /2009
Volume 16: Jun 1 /2010

So, if we assume about 7 months between releases, that'll put everything at around:
Volume 17: Jan / 2011
Volume 18: Aug /2011

So the official release of chapter 103 will be in about March 2012 - give or take a few months.
Just wait patiently.

[FormerAbyssalone]

Damn! thats a long time before a official release. Why do they wait so long 2 release the mangas for?

Anyway, I have a feeling that Priscilla will be defeated in the next 2-3 chapters. Destroyer Dauf seem 2 do some damage 2 Priscilla, before he was completly annialated. Im tellin ya the Destoyer will be the one 2 finish off Priscilla.

[kitten320]

Clare will be in huge depression then.

Dude, this is Priscilla your talking about. The Destroyer can only intervene but cannot kill her. Maybe the Destroyer can only wear her down before it is killed; then finally Claire will finish Priscilla off.

Why is that, thats what Clare wants right? A dead Priscilla.

[kitten320]

But she wants to kill her with her own arms.

Besides I really doubt that Clare's purpose of life will die that early... Destroyer might mess her up, but I don't see Priscila dying any time soon.

[Rennir]

Well since someone already posted spoilers I won't bother lol. If destroyer dauf didn't attack her, she wouldn't have regained her memories and then clare would've been safe. Well I can see a battle royale in the future between priscilla, the destroyer, and helen, clare, and deneve. And when is miria gonna show up?!?!

*laughs at how unbelievably hard is just to create an approved summary

I have to agree...the cat-arms are easily the most bizarre thing I've seen in the story without
a doubt. They look more like cannons; I imagined these huge mega-blasts would burst from them XDXD.

Short chapter, most of it was indeed just fighting...but it was cool fighting nonetheless. Dauf's strength is so hard to believe, I can't help feeling it's really pushing it....think about it; in her fight with Isley, the worst he ever did to her was pierce right through her with his spear. Here, half of her is eaten away in her awakened form.

What's the implication then? that Dauf's strength surpasses the strongest Abyssal?

We still don't know exactly what the Rods do to a person; I remember saying once that maybe it does a Priscilla-style exponential growth and bring out a person's entire potential, which would explain the exaggerated increase. An Awakened is stuck with what they have when they awaken, but it does open doors to see what they would be like if they trained more as a warrior before awakening.

It doesn't matter because this is just speculation for now, so as is, seeing Dauf THIS powerful is just....0_0.

I guess it doesn't matter: like we all predicted, bringing him back was just another one-shot deal. Now that she remembers Teresa, I believe Priscilla has truly returned to the malevolent being she was when she first killed her. She even has that same smile as before. Now that she is seemingly discarding ALL memories except the one involving Teresa's death....Raki....Isley.....her family... she is discarding them all. I think it's nigh-impossible at this point that her persona will ever change back, she is fully transforming inside and out.

She doesn't seem to nevertheless be aware of who Claire is; that she as the same girl as before. She seems to think that Claire is Teresa(anime-esque? 0_o). I get the feeling she won't continue thinking that, and she'll figure it out the next time they meet, but we'll see.

So what will happen now? They are heading towards Raciella, which means whatever happens will no doubt involve her.

[Nixl]

With the statement from Priscilla that she gets to kill it again, I am starting to wonder if she means the memory and not so much Teresa. She followed Claire's scent just to rediscover her memories, but now she no longer wants them. All that is left is the reminiscent smell off of Claire to get rid of.

That also opens up another question. I always assumed that she regressed because she could not face the trauma, but now it seems she did so out of convenience and her transformation. (self-dehumanization? lol)

How to best state it...
Awakened beings discard their humanity, but not their human memories. Isley is a great example. However, Priscilla is taking a step further by discarding her human memories as well. Other than yoki or the transformation, there seems to be a clear delineation between Isley (who keeps his memory), Priscilla (who wants them gone), and the Destroyer(who has none?).

I wonder what this will do to her power/shape as in will Priscilla take on a more chaotic form? At the moment her body seems compacted and orderly.

I think we have been shown by now that they don't truly sacrifice all their humanity

Ophelia allowed Clare to kill her rather than be the very thing that killed her brother (and even then as an awakened being she still cared about her brother)

Isley cared for Raki and Priscilla as a family

Riful and Duaf truly loved each other

Beth cried for her dead sister

Lucelia cried in joy at seeing her sister for the first time in ages

Hilda allowed Miria's group to kill her

So while mostly not there its possible for their humanity to resurface.

[Nixl]

That is sort of what I meant, they sacrificed their physical human (to a degree), but they retained their memories and personalities. Priscilla is going the extra mile.

[Ulquihorror]

I hope Clarice rips Priscilla's head off

The way I interpreted that scene was that Priscilla was purposely letting herself get hit because it was helping her remember when she fought Teresa and got defeated.
