Anyways she got hit twice in her hair armor (for lack of a better name) got bite (very minimal damage) twice in the same spot (the first hit seemed to have slowly healed then got hit again after all that hard work ). Not her in her throat... Believe me after someone has actually tried to slit your throat in RL, you don't consider hair biting that bad in comparison (AB akin to hair pulling? ). Anyways LOL that Roxanne fell for the same attack from the same angle twice, maybe she has a blindspot.

it would explain why she never got any development, yagi wants us to read it in her own manga. it would also explain why claymores quality decreased. another idea: dae and tabitha challenge and fight each other each day. trying to gain mirias love. while the story continues more and more characters fall in love with her. does dae really love miria, or is he just trolling her? will tabitha finally get mirias love? so it begins, another harem manga. but this time, with a twist! |

How about this, Tabitha and Dae live a post Apocalyptic world akin to Mad Max, ravaged by war and nuclear fallout. Tabitha tried to live in peace with the stitched up corpse of Miria, but it was not meant to be. Dae, now a leader of a biker gang, swiftly defeats Tabitha and before leaving off with Miria's legs, brands Tabitha 7 times in the pattern of the Northern Star constellation. Now Tabithashiro must depart on a journey of revenge and to defend her title as Hokuto no Creepy as Fuck with her creeper arts. Along the way she will meet her rival Hilda-Oh for possession of Miria. Oh and, Yuma is renamed Toki. Thug: "Hahaha, I did not feel a thing." Tabithashiro: That's because you're already defiled. Thug: Wha-*head explodes* Tabithashiro: ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT ATATATATATATATATATATATAT |

The battle looks like a rehash of Isley and Luciela's fight, with Cassandra just eating things and Roxanne doing a mix projectile spikes like Isley and blade whipping like Riful.
I do admit that Cassandra's speed is quite baffling to me. She takes up a lot of space, like Riful's awakened form, but at least Riful's form still looked sleek and fast. I don't even understand how Cassandra moves, although in my head I kind of image her doing a hyped-up crab walk. I don't know how she evaded those spikes, considering how little space there are between them. Maybe she ate them to make space? I think Riful could probably take on these new AOs one-on-one. She's got way more blades than Roxanne's appendages and Cassandra's head extensions, and she can drive her blades up from under the ground to take care of Cassandra's low-blow attacks. And if Riful can take them on, Alicia surely can. She can just cut up whatever is thrown at her, and her form is small enough to easily evade Cassandra's attack. I'm just making these comparisons because I feel the original AOs were much stronger than the present three, and I'd have much preferred if Yagi had extended their battles instead of this one. The battle scene felt a bit too drawn out, but I may change my mind when the translation comes out. I'm particularly curious at the last few panels: Hysteria seems to have finally noticed the "threads," but I don't know if that means it's too little too late for her, or if she's going to get rid of Miria's only advantage at this point. |

Well, at least the fight seems entertaining. I guess Roxanne is smarter than the other AOnes, since she can make up a plan to stop Cassie.
Yeah, Hysteria the blond, hahahaha. Seriously I doubt that Riful could take on Rox and Cass; she was defeated by the rods of the Destroyer, so clearly her body form is not as advatageous as many people had thought, would not give her the upper hand in this battle. Also, Cassie seems very agile and strong. Maybe Riful could devise a plan to stop her, since she was pretty smart and Cassie is pretty stupid. About Hysteria, I don't know. If she's not able to kill Miria, how could she kill Riful. As far as I can see, she's a sucky AOne, she's just AO because she was number 1 when she awakened, but doesn't really deserved that title. She is also not really that strong, she barely can fight using her cockroach legs, she's not as fast as we thought, and her projectile attack (the one that used to destroy Deneve's half body) might no be as powerful as it may seem: just make a fast swing when she approaches and that could kill her (given her small size). Hysteria is, again, disappointing. Miria's not even in optimal conditions but is able to surpass Hysteria who's supposed to be faster than before. |

Chapter gave my Shadow of the Colossus vibes. I do like butterfly Hysteria more than harpy Hysteria.
The amount of pressure placed on the characters is of such a great magnitude that it's increasingly difficult to find excuses that prevent instant BAD END. Finding a balance is tricky. I don't think this plan will go swimmingly or else they could just grab all the claymores, clean up at the org, and still have time to grab a coffee. It'd be way too easy. Quote:
On another note Anastasia has one of the best support techs in the series. Imba yo. And my girl Cassy's overwhelming speed should come at no surprise as Rigaldo stated that Isley's speed surpasses even his own. |

The Battle of abysmals looks very interesting,The translation looks good too.
But Miria can fight against Histerya I seems ridiculous. As I thought, Miria has managed to attract Histerya against two abysmals. And Helen can track the speed and lock Histerya's legs... Ridiculous. |

What's an abysmal? O.o

Anyways, the more interesting the fight can be, it's going too far for something that was brought from nowhere and has very few to do with the original plot. What will come next? Some green aliens from mars to be defeated in 50 chapters? This is not what claymore was supposed to be, since the original Abyssals (Easley and Riful) died and Rafaela/Luciela vanished next with clare and priscilla there have been very little interest left. Even the side chapters were more relevant than this...

YAY ive seen that scans and i gotta say the fight between Roxy and Cass was pretty Awesome i loved how Roxanne just slammed Cassandra down with her foot, im dying to find out what theyre saying to each other on that page because Cassandra looks completely insane.
And i love Hysteria's new Dragonfly like form its so much more cooler than her Harpy look, and im convinced that when Hysteria was getting chopped up by Miria after she regenerated she began to look more like Priscilla because she gained armor on her shoulder and her wings took on a similair appearence to hers maybe its the Yoki of Priscilla fusing with her body and altering her appearence haha I think we might see Claire and Priscilla next chapter because now that the three abyssal ones have been drawn together there is nothing relly more to do but let them fight each other and hopefully the clashes in Yoki will cause priscilla or claire to go wild and break free to find out whats happening. |
