Whoooo! chapter 81 is just over the horizon, I'm looking forward to it.

well spoilers are already out there and so far only one seems to be fairly reliable, there should be some more spoiler images comming out soon as well.

To continue from the ch. 80 thread, since it seems to be priscilla with Raki, chances of them comming to help Lune out with her situation are improving. Also if Raki's words are correct (and the spoiler is true) we may see an eventual showdown between him and priscilla (not likely). it would be pretty cool to see, but Raki would obviously be outclassed in every way. I'd love to see how he would pull through, if that's even possible.

so what? now that the thread is made there is nothing to talk about? come on guys say something. i personally have no need to post til i see the real thing but you guys were all raring to go and now that the thread is up you say nothing. whats with that. except nobodyman, he said something.

[evil_kenshin]

well if its true it means two things

a) won't lead to a falling out between him and Clare if Clare kills Priscilla
b) Raki still has connections to both Isley + Priscilla (no way someone like Isley will be killed off screen)

SCENE81　遥かな契り

ラキを覚えている者がいて妖魔だと疑うけど、村人を説得
ドレッドヘアーのクレイモアが来て、どのようにして妖魔を切ったかを問う
詰め寄ってきたクレイモアにラキが連れている小さな子が触れると怯えだすクレイモア

そして、ラキはクレイモアにクレアの事について聞くが、
クレイモア「最下位である47番の戦士はそのような名前ではない、つまり、その戦士は既にこの世にはいない 」
しかしラキは笑って
ラキ「クレアは必ず生きて再び会うと言った　だから死んでないと信じてる　必ず生きて俺をまだ探し続けてる 」

ドレッドヘアーのクレイモアはナンバー6のルネ
最後にルネは問う
ルネ「そいつが口にするのは 人のそれ か？」
ラキ「俺がこの子と旅を始めたのは数年前 　それ以来彼女は何一つ口にしていないよ
　　　だけどそろそろ限界に近いと思う　その時は全力をかけて止めるつもりでいるけどきっと無 理だ
　　　そしてその時　彼女が口にするのは　多分俺のそれだ」

プリシラと共にラキも街を出る

場面はルネ
何かに追われているが、足に自信のあるルネは逃げて、相手は追うのを諦めたと思っているルネ
しかし、実は誘い込まれていたルネは攻撃される

煽り「ルネを捕獲したリフルの目算とは！？」

From what I can understand from it:

The org's new eye(forget her name) appeared with funny hairstyle
She talked with Raki, after they are seperated, she was attacked. (probably by Riful)

Spoiler for spoiler translation:

After Raki kills the youma infront of the surprsed villgers, a Claymore shows up and asks who killed the youma.
Raki is startled by the appearance of a Claymore and flinches at the mention of the little girl.

Then Raki asks the Claymore if she knows anything about Clare.

The Claymore answers: "I don't recollect that name among the 47 warriors, so that warrior is probably no longer alive"

Raki says: "Clare told me we would surely meet again, so I believe she's not dead."

Turns out that Claymore is number 6, Rune/Lune

Finally Rune asks: "that one... does she eat humans, or...?"

Raki answers: "I've been travelling with her for several years, and she has never eaten anyone. But I think she's reaching her limit. When she does, I'll try to stop her with all my might, but it's probably futile. At that time she will probably eat me."

Together, Raki and Pricilla leave down the street.

Scene change to Rune,
Rune is running away but is attacked.

Narration: Rune was captured by Riful - what can we expect?

Keep in mind this is a lunch break rough translation. I usually take a lot more time to make sure I'm a lot more accurate - there WILL be inaccuracies.

Nice find though!

This is some of what we have so far.

well its not like were got anything to work on lol i'll post when i've read the chapter myself (as in 100% sure this is true)

[Fate_Archer]

Again, something seems wrong here if this spoiler is true.

If Raki passed by Rabona with this girl one year before all this incident, and it's been a few years since Galatea is at Rabona, then... shouldn't Galatea have sensed this girl if she is who we really think she is?
Hmmm... I feel that Galatea's senses are going to be nerfed again. I don't like that.

And we finally met Lune. Number #6 seems a good rank, but I wouldn't be so sure in a generation like hers.
Anyway, it's always interesting (in a strange way) to see Riful's interactions with a Claymore, especially an useful one like Lune.
Let's see Riful's approach, I think she will really use strength now, and that speaks bad for Lune. Nonetheless she doesn't need Lune to awaken, somehow Riful just wants her talent at yoki manipulating for some purpose.
I hope we'll find out what this purpose is in the next chapters, I guess it would be a lot more interesting than Raki's epic adventures through the continent as people are expecting.

By the way, if Raki is travelling alone with Priscilla, then where the hell is Isley?
It doesn't make sense him letting these two (or at least Priscilla) go and travel around. Without Priscilla close to him, he loses all his strategic advantage against all the powers in the continent.

To Isley it doesn't matter if Priscilla is cose to him or not. He only does what Priscilla wishes (going south) and if there is someone else who can fulfill her wish easier, Isley wont try to get her back or keep her with himself. Why he wanted to make her stronger I don't really know, but maybe for her to reach the south for sure.

[Ryuken]

Something is definitely wrong with that spoiler, I can feel it in my bones.

[Sleepy Speculator]

I'm no good with all this spoiler stuff, and i'm usually wrong, but that picture looks wrong... it's like someone pasted an image from a random pieta claymore onto a background and put some speech bubbles in... If Lune appeared so much in the text, how comes it's only a back shot of her.../?

[chibamonster]

I think the picture looks pretty normal for a chinlation scan of Claymore. The hardest part of drawing something that actually looks like a manga is getting the tones right, especially because they do not scan well and look rather funny when put through a computer. It could be cut and pasted but I do not think so.

And guys, I can't believe I didn't make the connection before; Little girl on shoulder, no sense of direction, powerful character who kills monsters: zaRAKI Kenpachi!

[NobodyMan]

LOL, someone will need to draw a picture of Raki dressed up as Kenpachi with priscilla doing his hair now.

I wonder when we'll see more spoiler images? Some good ones may be able to settle the Raki's Height argument.

[PureYoki]

chiba will deserve an applause if the little girl is Priscilla.

But it will bring lots of inconsistencies so I think and hope this is a fake spoiler.

[myshka]

her hair doesnt look weird.....

[Vinak]

sorta similar...

Spoiler for picture:

[chibamonster]

Inconsistencies that might arise by the girl being Priscilla can be explained pretty easily. Much like the question as to how Galatea could hide in a city for 7 years without anyone noticing she was a silver eyed witch unless she had a cart full of yoki pills. The answer made perfect sense; she cut her own eyes out. Or how the ghosts survived Pieta. Or how Irene hid herself for years. All these new pieces of information came from a development in the plot, not in something that had been seen before. It was a surprise, but it made perfect sense and was consistent. That will keep happening in the story. Priscilla has always been difficult to read and if she was not eating anyone in Rabona Galatea probably wouldn't go ballistic and get org people to help kill her. I think it can be explained pretty easily if Yagi wants to go that way. The spoiler is still unconfirmed though.

[irvinethearcher]

yeah, this is something i admire on yagi. The surprises in story developement can most of the time logically deduced from the knowledge we have so far but still are surprises

[myshka]

did the spoiler come from a reliable source?

the spoiler pic does kinda look cut and paste....

I guess if this is true, and we actually did the signature bet, I would be wearing some goofy picture as a signature with the text "OWNED BY CHIBA" or something like that for the next month.




Well, this spoiler is so similar to the one we got yesterday which many people put off as fake, and not from just this board. The spoiler that we read was just a very short English translated version of it, and the translator admittedly wasn't very good at translating it.

I don't know if this spoiler is just the same from yesterday, but in its original Japanese text form, or untranslated.

I'm not yet sure if it's real or not. At least not 80% sure.

Unless we see Raki come back to rescue Lune, I think that's probably the last we'll see of Lune for a while. I don't think we'll find out Riful's "secret" just yet.



This scene might be like the scene where right after Clare leaves Irene, Raphaela shows up, and we don't know what happens. We're just supposed to assume that Raphaela kills Irene.

The next chapter will probably be back on Raki. And I'm not a Raki-lubber. It's just that even with this spoiler, there is just still too much stuff to tell the readers about Raki's and Priscilla's side.

Isley may not even be on the continent anymore.

[PureYoki]

I don't want to go over the height issue again, but if the little girl is Priscilla, it would be a hard-to-swallow fact. Of course, unless Yagi makes a perfectly reasonable explanation like ABs have more than one human form.

And about Isley: What was the war in Pieta and the fight against Luciela for? What exactly is his motive, I don't believe his whole purpose in life is to serve Priscilla. How come he let go of Priscilla so easily? If Raki is the problem, he could mysteriously vanish into thin air.
