Either your wrong or what I read was mistranslated. In what I read (in the spoiler below) Cynthia talks about the central land then says the top 3 are spread out in that land... not spread out over the whole continent. So the Top 3 are in the central land so they can get to the any "hotspot" on the island quickly. Spoiler for Size:

Sweet finally someone else sees the light!
Ryus - I'm all for character development and all but it's like she completely changed to a different person. For some reason I think Teresa would of still been pretty badass even if she became close to humans. I like those type of characters... like Alphard from Canaan. Now if she became goody goody I would just ughhhh |

Even when she fought Miata and said stuff like "If I get this sword into you, you'll be able to sleep softly even on the softest bed". |

It stinks, but those words will probably lose their dependency overtime. Quote:
Arrogance wasn't just a thing she had, it was basically all she had, their's a difference. I don't care if she has some spunk like the others, but she was as vain as the fillers now. Happy to see that she's toned it down, is all. Like I said, her attitude now I would say is how she's always wanted to be. |

I think you might have just misread Galatea from the start. She might joke a bit and have a sarcastic streak, but she has always been a good person. At the end of the witches maw, Galatea could've easily killed both Clare and Jean and returned Clare's body to the org if she wanted to.

Galatea still is badass... she's just repressing it due to nun training. In short she's not witty attitude badass but Pure Good Badass... her "badassness" just developed with her character but it's still there very clearly. See the spoiler for argument. Spoiler for Lots of Images - One colored Panel too:
Also don't judge Galatea too much based on the Agatha fight, 90% of it was Agatha, Mitia, & Clarice anyways... They hogged most of the arc (hell it's first chapter is called the Child Warrior for a reason , well in the VIZ version it is... forget in the direct translation). As for after the fight just ask yourself why would she be badass to the Ghosts? |

I see Claymores as Girls who have all sorts of personality and psychological problems, considering how the org brings them up. If Galatea was always special, maybe the org let her know it. |

Wash your mouth out with battery acid. Quote:
The line is "If you put one of these in it[A BED!], you can sleep even a soft comfortable bed." (this is from memory - but I spent long enough on this quote way back when to remember it accurately). Galatea-sama, being a goddess and all, had simply figured out and was sharing the solution to the Claymore sleeping difficulties that Teresa introduced us to. i.e. That Claymores have trouble sleeping in soft beds and prefer to stick their sword into the ground and sleep sitting up! She trash talked no one but Duff, and that was so classy and witty, that who could not love that? I take a few hours off to play video games, and we have so many besmirchers of the faith... An acolytes job is never done I suppose... |

The way I read it is not that they are assigned to a hotspot, but able to cope with a hotspot anywhere. It's a sublte difference perhaps, but it still doesn't tell us where they are assigned. They are assigned somewhere though - Rubel says that Alicia and Beth have assigned locations at some point (and that they're almost never there). This is what I said. I never denied the top were mobile units or anything. I have 3 or 4 different english scanlations of that chapters, and none seem to agree exactly on the translation either though. |

nice post..... never even realize the closeness-similarity to england (sorry i mean U.K., any scotish or irish forgive me, i'm american and am used to "england" for the name of the country) though, there's nothing that ACTUALLY says it is connected to U.K. It probably very well is based on the U.K. as you done a terrific job showing me/us, but that doesn't mean it is the U.K. It doesn't mean that the continent has to be south east of the island. and when i said east, i meant in general east of the island. the continent could be north-east, (directly) east, south-east, or any of the 180 degrees from north and south of the island towards the east, for that matter. you don't need to explain european history to me, i'm an american, and we are crammed with "europe" history in our education system, and I personally love european (especially U.K.'s) medieval-dark age history, and i am a "history-buff"-well i like history anyways, which is why i love claymore so much, hehe. *grins* ------------------------------------------------------------------ this isn't a history site for the dark-age medieval U.K. and europe ... you don't want to get me started..... back than, the U.K. was known as britain or england back than, europe was known as britany (= greater "britain" = europe continent) and i believe.... (any european feel free to correct me if i got any of this wrong) west was wales. welsh ethnicity. north was scotish, irish, worgs (natives of the island). later vikings would conquer-control it. hadrian (a roman) built his wall protecting the "wild-barbaric" north from the "civilized" roman controlled south. east was saxony. controlled-conquered by the saxons which came from "germany" (germanic tribes area, the "old" roman empire was still in existence, and "germany" wasn't christened yet by charlagmane and wasn't part of the holy roman empire yet. think Gladiator movie) south was roman controlled (i'm not sure about this, were the celts, half natives half romans? or is this completely wrong?)

I'm sure you'll have others driving you nuts when they read your comments in the next few days. Hopefully they don't drive you too crazy. I only resonded since I'm a big fan of character development in Claymore... I'm not a major "fanboy" of any one. My 3 favorite characters are 1) Clare 2) Teresa 3)Raphaela, still haven't figured out who my #4 on are... too many good choices. Quote:
As I said in my previous post the true direction of the mainland doesn't really matter but I just choose to place it to the east to south of the island in my mind until Yagi reveals it's true location. Oh, and I didn't know a lot of that before I read Claymore either. I went out an researched it myself, no one help me so the post is entirely my own idea. Part of the research I did was when I first started to read Claymore and the rest I did when we had a discussion here to reasonably determine to islands population (a rather fun week, too bad I can't recall where that discussion is located). I suspect the island is a mixture of England and Japan though. Since there are some similarities to Japan too but not as many that I spotted. Then again I not as good with the history of Japan as English history. EDIT: In short I just felt like sharing my thoughts on the direction of the mainland... I was in no way saying I right, your wrong/stupid, or that it even matters. I still won't except due north for the location of the mainland, since any ship would crash into iceburgs long before getting to any "mainland" especially based on the northern region being eternally locked in Ice.

well, you coulda been asian (in asia) for all i knew... or african (in africa)... or australian (in australia) ... or south american (in south america)... or ..... a penguin (in antarctica) :P
(err, course it would help if i looked at your profile stuff.. lol.. jsut noticed D.C. under your name, i presume that means washington D.C. ?) ---------------------------------------------------------------- ryus: about your stuff about galatea, thanks ! i never realized that side of her, always saw her as being kind-soft-hearted (saving-not killing claymores like clare, caring about other claymores, helping the children as a nun, and being a rebel against the organization) but i wanted to say one thing about the manga pages you used: all of that, that galatea did, could have been an elaborate plan to distract agatha (galatea is the "God Eye" after all and even more powerful in her yoki now that she is blind), in order to help and enabling clare to get into position to kill agatha. and maybe this was out of kindness as well. but you certainly showed she's got a bit of teresa's "bravido" (can't spell) in her too. ----------------------------------------------------------------- the continent is NOT due north. never said it was. it could be 1 degree off from due north, but that be a very odd angle to sail from the continent from, lol.

Spoiler for second spoiler:
What's wrong with spoilers this month? Once translated, they still look like Ostrogothic. Another fake, I guess. It mentions Raki but not Priscilla, Yuma and not Cynthia, Clare and it forgets about Helen and Deneve.
