Read the extra scene 3 of the manga

Spoiler for For episode 25:

• The choreography of the fighting scenes are top notch.
• Priscilla goes SS3/SS4. The only flaw was MH overdid her super mascular appearance
• Again, 5 mins screening of Raki and Jean. Kinda, expected that.
• Deneve, Helen and Miria got owned. Good thing Miria didn't sustain much injury compared to the other 2.
• It was nice to see Clare's almost awakened form during the last minute. So MH was saving it for the last episode after all.
• Overall an excellent episode, well at least for me. I'm giving it a 8.5 mostly for it's animation. Now that all is set for the last episode, I just can't wait for the aftermath from the battle and for what's gonna happen in the future.

Spoiler for Reply:

I wouldn't say Miria sustained little injury, I do believe her internal organs/ribs may be crushed. She didn't have any limbs cut off, but her injury is probably worse than Deneve's, considering how she can regenerate.

[Seska]

What have Dauf said to Clare, after he crushed her Bones? Healing Bones is more difficult, then attach some Limbs, and i worry myself about the 3 Shadows in the ED... They resemble some persons, but i don't saw some special Haircut (lower then #3 but higher then #10).

and i bet, 3 persons will be used to Turn Clare back into a saint....

[Manifold]

"More POWER."

Heh..

I agree with whoever said that this episode is only a lead in the grand finale.

Spoiler for Priscilla:

It is a bit ridiculous how Priscilla's final(?) awakened form could just whip her finger-tentacle around like an almighty razor wire whip. I laughed a bit about that.

Spoiler for Raki:

I'm always gunning for Raki for some reason. I want him to get 'more power' too, so he isn't so useless. He tries so hard..

Bring on episode 26.

Yeah, I find it strange too. It isn't strange that she used projectiles to injure her opponents (some other AB use similar technics too), but these spikes were truly bizarre.
Oh, and Claymore anime wouldn't be Claymore if Raki didn't shout "Clareeee !!!" at least once .
And no, You're not the only one who thinks that they are ruining the ending, but I just blocked my reasonable thinking after watching 23 episode to not spoil my enjoyment. I rated episode 7/10, hope next one would be even better.

I believe those are metalic darts. Priscilla can create metalic darts from her own body and throw from her wings in the same way Duffy can create metalic spears and throw from his mouth and arms in episodes 15~17.

Those darts of her are shinning because they're reflecting the light coming from the magma around there or something like that.

Third, how did Jean+Raki, who couldn't catch up to my grandma, reach the volcano let's say 10-15 minutes behind Miria+Deneve+Helen ... who, by the way, were dashing through the forest like Naruto on the treebranches but as they were getting closer they started to run normally so they would have time to chat about Clare's past before combat.

We don't know how much time the fab-four spent fighting with Priscilla. Could be a lot of time. And if i'm not mistake, at some time Jean recover herself enough to run ninja-fast carrying Raki.

And besides, do you really want one or two entire episodes of Raki and Jean walking and talking about how much they like Clare and want to protect her and want to stay with her forever and...?

....

OMG, could it be? These two are RIVALS FOR CLARE's LOVE?!

1st, I never knew metal would glow green when illuminated by molten rock, I never tried it lol xD
2nd, even if the battle between Fab4 vs Priscilla would have taken longer, I really doubt Raki and Jean would reach them in 12 hours, not to mention 30 minutes

Don't mind me, I'm just making fun of my #2 fav anime because the director can't make a good ending once he doesn't have the manga story in front of him.
In the next episode ... Clare goes "Unlimited Yoki Works" on Priscilla lol.

But Jean and Raki set off at the same time as Miria (or even later) and come on, do You really think that Priscilla would toy with weaklings more time than couple of minutes ? Even if she wanted to be delicate, I don't think they would survive much

As for Priscilla's projectiles, I would call it Fallout attack, they were glowing as if there was uranium or luminescence rocks.

And Priscilla is Frank Holigan - Final boss in Fallout 2, right .

btw, I can't wait what will happen in this battle, hope Clare will don't awake fully.

Subs are out.

Law of animation. The same law what make all the baddies lasers RED and the goodies BLUE or GREEN will make any fast atack visible to us viewers, even glowing with a color contrasting with the scenario.

If they hadn't turned Priscilla's atack green, we would not watch that move very well. And then we would be winning about how much the scenario is dark and hard to see anything.

[BaalChaamon]

hmmm great, the whole series is going down at warp 9.
Not only did they mess up the whole part about Priscillas power boosts...seriously that haircut and those steroid muscles, but they had to put Easley there talking to himself like a retard, while Miria, Helen and Deneve get owned by Prisci-chan who is completly dellusional to the point where you just want to tell her to shut the hell up and take a lava bath.

And why do i start to dislike Jean now...Raki tainted her

[Deathkillz]

wow...the more i look at Priscilla's hair...the more i think that she is goku

pretty predictable ep but not too bad ~ i found the part where Deneve and Helen got slashed from nowhere pretty cool but seriously, how much more chan clare power up...and it should take a bigger plot hole for her to return to normal this time >.>

[FlareKnight]

Did Priscilla seriously need to power up to beat Mira,Helen, and Deneve? Geeze feeling bad for Irene, Noelle, and Sophia considering how quick they got taken out. Guess we can use how heavily injured they were by Teresa as an excuse on that one.

Not a bad attempt by all to take down Priscilla. Clare was pretty much using the dash plan that did alright in killing Rigardo though sadly not working all that well this time. Pretty easy time for Priscilla blocking and with the amount of attacks she could release without even moving. And plenty of limbs going off with Helen and Deneve.

Suppose we'll either have to believe Miria and co were fighting for a very long time for Jean and Raki to catch up. Or consider Jean's speed as superior to the others in how quickly they got there. But I guess if it had taken longer we would've had more scenes of them just trucking along.

lawl, at that one =P

I didnt't really like this episode, i think the animation of pricila is kina crapy (for this anime) and it all got a feeling like "im the last boss, u defeated my first form now face my second form!" and it all got an DB-like feeling.

after i have wached next episode ill read the manga, and for the love of god, i hope there are some diffrence in this part =P

[Yorae_paladin1]

The concept is cool that priscilla hadn't fully awakened which is explains why she was so small compared to abyssals and high level awakened now she got an abyssal height and yet she still thinks she is a claymore fighing for good. Wonder if she realizes that the guts she ate had a prize in human lives the people she swore to protect and those weren't evil people either maybe she thinks they will regrows there innards which is impossible.

She really is confused but im guessing once she takes a look in the mirror she will pull an ophelia. We need to call the claymores in the white coats

[servidor]

Does anyone feel disturbed with the escene when a child Clare was embraced by the "Grim Reaper"?

That was only a "placeholder". How Chibi-Clare was taken with open arms into the org.... It has more some kind of Metaphor...

[servidor]

I agree that it was a metaphor of how her life as a human girl had come to an end.

Priscilla is fully awakened!She just went to her second phase (?)by releasing a hell lot of yoki, just like Rigardo when he powered up because he realized his opponent is a challenge to him.

Spoiler:

To those of you who think why she powered up, she still thinks she is a claymore( and it has been said a dozen times that her memories are messed up), therefore by claymore terms, she raises her yoki powers to 10-30%( where their eyes turn yellow). I can't estimate how much that would be in awakened terms, but since she has a shit load of yoki powers, we can assume it is way way higher than that of the abyssal ones..

Opinion on episode: Animation and action are super. However, I find the episode so predictable..nothing quite original from the episode. I expected more but I guess we might anticipate some twists in the final episode.
