Finished reading the latest chapter. The return of Teresa.

But before the final fight with Priscilla. Teresa have to deal with another number 1 first. Cassandra seeing an image of her best friend smiling before dying - I think that's a nice end for her.

Can't wait for next month.

And so it has finally begun...

Fenrir_valindri · 2014-07-01, 19:18

Pretty intense start to the fight.
A part of me is glad Teresa let Priscilla recover to that extent, but it is without a doubt an immense risk.

It is Yagi's way to show 10% yoki relase is greater than 80% Abysal yoki release. whatever it means.

It is also Teresa's pride as a warrior, even she looks down on her title. The arena battle draws a lot of younger sisters crowd.

All imouto warriors tried to figure out the ability gap between them and the strongest, especially Galatea and Audrey. I think they deserve #1 if not Alicia and Beth are taking the spot. Galeatea would be a medium level #1 and Audrey would be a weak #1.

Next chapter : The end of Priscilla ?
I hope so ...

Probably be a few months worth of fighting, but looks almost certain now that claymore will end this year.

If not this year, definitely next year. This fight will probably carry into the fall, resolve by winter, and if Yagi is pretty much done, there will be some kind of epilogue to tie up immediate loose ends.

Great chapter though. It's hard to believe we're nearly done with Claymore.

Fenrir_valindri · 2014-07-04, 06:22

This fight will probably last at least another 2-3 months, I imagine the manga will end by the end of this year.

Ak3mi · 2014-07-04, 06:59

So awesome. Satisfying ending coming up

?

gaouw · 2014-07-04, 10:58

i kinda wished that yagi elaborate more of the dragonkin people and the war on the mainland.

it could be done as the next arc, but it kinda is fine to be finished here too..

anyway, this is a great series, and while i regret it's end (if this is indeed the last arc), i will regret worse ending more (the hanging kind).

Tempest35 · 2014-07-04, 15:26

The DragonKin story is another tale for another time...

That's probably Miria's story more so than Clare's.

Funny how nearly done still means several months.

Here's hoping for a well rounded ending!

That happens with a monthly manga.

It's definitely ending and this probably will be the last full year of Claymore.

I don't think we'll get anything more about the continent it sounds more like stuff for a potential spin-off/sequel not that I think we'll get one.

Summary of chapter 153 by God Eye Galatea from mangahelpers:

Spoiler:

scififan · 2014-07-31, 22:40

How come I am not suprised by Scene 153 - The Object of Burden?
Now, I remember a fan art posted in a non-English forum. The picture was few years ago, and his/her prediction is correct!

After toying with Priscilla for entire chapter, Priscilla is reaching the full powerup.
Teresa also reaches her awakeneing form. Her awakening form is a

Spoiler:

Other than that, Priscilla shows she is insanely fast. However, Teresa still shows she's faster. Prisiclla grows big arms, but Teresa still shows she's stronger. Then, Teresa crushes Priscilla's body as stomping on a foam.

Overall, the Scence has nice battle. All Clamore imouto are making oh and ah sounds(in my head).

Esclair · 2014-07-31, 23:24

DEM power levels.

I don't see how the manga can continue after this unless they go to the mainland.

Spoiler:

germanturkey · 2014-08-01, 09:32

i just keep imagining to myself, this is how it should have happened x number of years ago. since this time, it seems like Teresa is at least trying..

scififan · 2014-08-01, 23:19

I just read some sound speculation from other BBS.

The speculation about Teresa's awawkened form is it is modeled after bird anatomy. The bird has wide chest, and this feature enables it to fly easily. The bird also has thn lower limbs. Teresa's awakened form also has the thinner legs.

The speculation about Priscilla's power is her anger is source of her yoki. She can regenerate her yoki whenever she is angry. It explains why she is stronger and stronger. Even Teresa chops her head to pieces, Priscilla still gets stronger. If Teresa's opponent is another awakened forms, they are already dead many times. So, Priscilla's yoki is equivalent to Hulk's strength. When they are angry, they get powerup. This mechanism goes on and on.

It's not the chest size, exactly. It's the combination of powerful wing muscles and light, almost hollow, bones. The design is similar in flying mammals, like bats.

But I don't think it's modeled after bird anatomy, exactly. It's just more symbolism of the goddess mythology in the story. You could even consider the dualism between Teresa and Priscilla as something angelic versus something demonic.

But Awakened forms are all about surprises. This initial transformation might go even further, as demonstrated numerous times through the story.

This isn't speculation, it's confirmed in the story by Dae. Priscilla's regeneration is directly tied to her hatred and rage. The human half of Priscilla was defeated a few chapters back, by the Ghosts, Octavia, Chronos, and Cassandra. What is left is the monster, just like the Destroyer.

Dj0rel True Believer Join Date: Jun 2008	Summary of chapter 152 by God Eye Galatea from mangahelpers: Spoiler for Ch152: The Call of Fate Cassandra, Octavia, and Chronos, the awakening beings had all turned against Priscilla. What would Teresa's next course of action be....!? - Helen: That's the strongest No.1.... Teresa of the Faint Smile......? - Helen: You're telling me that's Clare's form after she awaken? - Priscilla: Ha. Ha. Ha. - Miria: {Good. It's a go.} - Miria: {The powers she stole are all gone. In that case she should be at even less than half of her original power.} - Helen: Hm. - Teresa: You really helped me out there by lending me your sword. Thank you, Deneve. - Deneve: Oh.... Oh, okay. - Helen: You..... - Helen: What are you doing? Isn't now the chance to finish her off right away? - Teresa: Hmm? Oh, right. - Teresa: Hmm, but... finishing off a weaken opponent like this doesn't really feel like it suits my personality. - Helen: Per...personality...? What the hell are you talking about? - Teresa: Just as Clare said, you're quite cheeky. - Teresa: Don't be like that, Helen. This time don't say stuff that mean. - Teresa: Besides, she hasn't been forced to reach that point that you guys are thinking. If emotion is the reliant, then she could recover her stamina no matter what. Now, she's only like slowly pacing through a curved road. - Helen: Then....then... shouldn't.. - Teresa: Isn't this better? Now that I have the chance. I always wanted to meet and have a good talk with Clare's comrades. - Helen: {Damn. She definitely irritates me, but she seems super strong, so no way to talk back!} - Teresa: Hey! Young man. You come here too. - Raki: Me? - Teresa: There are so many things I want to ask you, but first. - Teresa: What's your relationship with Priscilla and Isley? - Raki: ...... - Raki: Isley was my swordsmanship teacher. Isley and Priscilla found me at the northern land and saved my life. - Helen: Wha... - Raki: After that, the three of us had live together ever since. - Raki: I only realized after awhile that those two were not normal human. While learning that difficult sword technique from Isley, I heard that Priscilla possessed what he considered the strongest power. - Raki: Isley probably considered me as an instrument to defeat Priscilla and raised me as such. The sword technique he left me is too excessive to be used on human. - Raki: However, after some time, there started a change. No, it could be said that the original goal haven't been changed, but the motive had changed. - Raki: At first, Isley wanted to kill Priscilla for himself. But, at some time it changed to that it was for Priscilla herself, thus training me with a sword technique that could take down Priscilla. - Teresa: What's going on? - Raki: Priscilla cursed her own power. She only let out this feeling while she was sleeping. While dreaming she kept on talking about wanting to die. - Raki: Isley thought that it was a curse casted upon on her current self by her human side. Not long after, the sword technique training was completed, I went on a journey to fulfill Priscilla's wish. - Raki: At that time I couldn't figure out what that scent is. But now, I feel that Priscilla was endlessly searching for someone who could kill her. - Raki: That person is probably you. What Priscilla has always been searching for is your scent that was asleep inside Clare. - Helen: Wah. She's really fully recovered to her original strength. - Deneve: No.... Compare to before, it's even.... - Teresa: It's because her source of power is hatred. Seeing me who had beaten her to ground when she was a warrior, that power of her certainly would be increasing without constraint. - Teresa: Perhaps, it is as you said that she wishes herself would be killed. But, compare to that, it's more correct that she wishes to kill me even more. - Raki: ..... - Teresa: Oh right. There's something I almost forgot to say. The battle of you with Clare along with the warriors against Priscilla, you guys won. - Teresa: Merely, a human and the weakest warrior along with the support of their comrades could beat down the strongest awaken being. You all should be proud of yourselves. - Teresa: That being over there now is the chaotic embodiment of hatred with only Priscilla's name. In other words, she is just plain old crazy. - Teresa: Let's see, it's about time to go. - Teresa: Yuma, Clare feels closest to you as you who have the closest ranking to her. - Teresa: Cynthia, Clare admires you a bit as you who still full of kindness even after becoming a warrior. - Teresa: Helen, it would've been better if you're less cheeky. That's what Clare thought, but she seems to still like you in those area. - Teresa: Deneve, although you don't talk much, but when you do you made Clare found meanings in your talk. She feels that you care about your comrades the most. - Teresa: Finally Miria, you've always been a comrade and friend much like a big sister to Clare. Without you, then Clare probably wouldn't have survive to this point. I really wanted to thank you. - Teresa: Although Clare may look that way, but her heart is still that of a child's. Once in awhile, pet her on her head, even though she may frown she would have very happy in her heart. - Teresa: Now then. - Teresa: Let's fight to the fullest on this ground. - Cynthia: Wha... - Helen: Wu. - Miria: She... - Helen: Phantom!? How could that... - Miria: No... - Miria: That's a simple reflex. It's only simply a normal movement for Teresa... - Helen: Using purely strength to cut it. - Yuma: Wha... - Priscilla: Te..re...sa.. Tere...sa.. - Teresa: Hey now. Isn't your hatred for me overboard? - Priscilla: Tere...sa.. Teresa... - Priscilla: Teresa. Ha. Teresa... Ha. Tere. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. - Teresa; Really.. I'm being hated to this extend. It feels just like I'm being loved without much of a difference. - Yuma: That is Cassandra's... - Teresa: It's an imitation, it seems that it did quite well. - Teresa: Oh, shit. - Helen: Wha... What is this? It's completely difficult than Cassandra's fight. - Helen: Hey hey... We should be going to help out. - Galatea: Don't go. With our strengths there is nothing that we could help with. - Helen: Galatea! - Helen: What...? You're not coming to help, then what are you all coming here for...? - Audrey: Do you have to ask? It's simply because of. - Audrey: This last ultimate battle, we have to carefully document it into our hearts. The ending is near. __________________ Not afraid of having a different opinion.

Do you people know what is the situation right now? - Audrey: Of course we knew. We can take care of ourselves. Those who were not confident enough of their own power had already stayed behind back at the Holy City. - Rachel: In order words, all those who are here even if they are to be caught in the crossfire, they won't complain a thing. - Galatea: We also like to ask.

Ha! - Teresa: This bit of bad habit of wanting to use foot. Perhaps, it is from Raphaela's influence? - Helen: She's so ridiculous.... It never ends, no matter how many times she is attacked it's no use. What is there left to do then? - Miria: Further your distance, or you'll be caught up in it. - Teresa: Well, being injury free here is not going to be possible. - Miria: Where's Teresa? Did Teresa evade successfully? - Miria: !! - Miria: She's advancing in the midst of that..? - Audrey: !! - Priscilla: Te.. resa.... Resa - Helen: Teresa! - Deneve: No good, Teresa. After she is cut, she becomes even... - Miria: ! - Miria: Teresa.. Could it be you... - Miria: {You intend to take on all Priscilla's full blown hatred?} - Priscilla: Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! - Teresa: {Let's go, Clare!} - Audrey: ..... What's going on? This yoki.... - Galatea: It feels just like the earth is being swallow as well. A sea with huge waves. - Miria: This is Teresa's awaken.... - Teresa: Eh? - Teresa: What? There isn't much changes... - Teresa: It seems only my legs have become a bit lighter, and - Teresa: My back is a bit heavier... Teresa... Now this is the complete expression of her power. __________________ Not afraid of having a different opinion.
