Not a bad chapter.
To think the ZACS would be powerful enough to get Isley's arm...

Gangsta Spanksta · 2009-02-03, 03:38

Reposting my two favorite moments from the episode.

ZACS finding Isley tasty

Dietrich saving the day.

Awakened · 2009-02-03, 03:42

I wonder why Isley is not running?

Maybe they will follow him to the end of the earth, but it does not look good for him.

It looks like ZCS gets stronger after eating some flesh.

Gangsta Spanksta · 2009-02-03, 03:44

Most likely, Isley has fed enough on the people of that town that he has enough energy and has regenerated enough to fight. Boy him and those ZACS sure did decimate the place very quickly.

The fighting was pretty awesome in this chapter.

It kind of makes it suck that the Anime is over, because this would be nice to watch animated.

chibamonster · 2009-02-03, 03:57

It seems the Zombie Claymore Strippers actually have an official name now... Abyssal Eaters? Eaters of the Abyss? Hmmm. I wonder how others will translate that to make it sound cool. The demons that eat the dwellers of the deep...

Deitrich sure knows a lot.

And good call on whoever picked out the source for these things after seeing the spoilers

.

And Cyclone, I never thought it would happen, but this month I don't have to complain about waiting for the raws with the chinese scans in my face! Oh glorious day!

yezhanquan · 2009-02-03, 03:59

Can't beat them? Create fellows which can eat them. Smart idea.

Now, all we need to do is to let a few "hounds" loose on Riful...

Newhope · 2009-02-03, 04:13

Deitrich was the most intriguing part of this chapter why and how does she know so much and is it her reason her rebelling, to me the more we see her the more Miria like she becomes.

Gangsta Spanksta · 2009-02-03, 04:17

That's the weird thing: if she knows so much, why did she say she is loyal to the org? There is no moral high ground for the org destroying the south with those monsters. I'm not even sure if Priscilla can stop those things in her weakened state. Before, she might have if she released her energy like she did on Isley, but now...

yezhanquan · 2009-02-03, 04:23

These "hounds" should have been specifically designed to be "giant-slayers", so to speak. The bigger you are, the greater danger you're in.

Awakened · 2009-02-03, 04:23

Are the ZACS protecting their heads? or has Isley never tried hitting their heads?

What if Dietrich knew to much, thats why she was on that Ab hunt.

yezhanquan · 2009-02-03, 04:26

Funny if Isley never tried. He should know better than anyone else that "heads off" is probably the only way to kill someone for real in Claymore.

Gangsta Spanksta · 2009-02-03, 04:31

Obviously these things regenerate fast, but I was thinking about how claymores have an advantage over yoma because they're faster. Could these ZACS be faster than even Isley, and that's why he doesn't immediately run? Anyway, the zacs look different when excited, less like slow moving zombies, their bodies become more sleek and curvy.

Sci-Fi · 2009-02-03, 04:37

With Isley's arm gone, it's gonna be hard to escape without stopping/delaying the zombies first. Who knows if the standing still trick will work with an AB/AO. Remains to be seen if our Claymore trio is far enough away not to be tracked by the zombies. At the moment the zombies seem unstoppable.

Gangsta Spanksta · 2009-02-03, 04:37

:P BTW, I think the reason why the org held off on this plan until after the first generation of Claymores is that Male Zombie Claymore Strippers is just a thought that is too horrible to bare.

I wonder if I'll win the which redundant big boss has to die first poll.

MalakTawus · 2009-02-03, 05:12

Isley isn't stupid,i bet he isn't in real danger but probably he doesn't know how to completely kill them(and yeah,i'm betting on the head as the vital point....but you have to destroy it, not cut away from the body imo)

Anima · 2009-02-03, 05:15

While I don't know what was Isley saying/thinking because of the lack of translation, I don't see this as a dire situation for him. The guy easily fended them off and ripped them to shreds; just not in the critical spot. It would be difficult with one arm lost but this an AO we are talking about for goodness sake!

Isley considered redundant at this point? Dunno about that but I see this chapter as a demonstration of the AE's powers and could also be a reminder of Isley's powers.

Now I really want to read the chapter translated.

Riful · 2009-02-03, 05:22

So now we know why Isley and Raki/Prissy seperated, I suppose, it would have been too dangerous for them or maybe they got seperated during a fight. This really sucks for Isley ... they will keep hunting him until the end of time ... or until he gets their heads, but that doesn't seem very easy.
