Claymore Chapter 118
Welcome to the monthly discussion thread for Claymore, Chapter 118.
The thread was created before the chapter was published. Usually false spoilers start to appear early so (naturally) people always need a place to discuss them. Thread Guidelines
Since Claymore is licensed by Viz the following posts are not allowed
You still are allowed to discuss the manga, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story itself. Summaries are allowed, it's just that full translations are against the forum rules. The odd image or a translation of a line or paragraph is acceptable, that's considered "fair use" but more than that isn't allowed. If you need to post a single image (or preferably only the relevant part of an image) for a reason related to discussion you can put it on an image host, but never ever post a link where people can see the entire manga. |

Just moving the likely spoiler here from the 117 thread... and editing out the spoiler tags.

I'm putting it in spoiler tags just in case and also so that people that would visit this thread would be hit by a huge spoiler (being this post just under the starting one it will be very well visible). I expect that next posts will be without the tags.
Spoiler for 118:
Seriously. This information alone makes this chapter lose 2 points at least by default. And with Raki it's at least 1 point further down. And with Miria's new phantom 1 point down. So I'll give it a six at best. |

You don't find it bad? It's a freaking joke. First Miria, now Raftela... Previously it was ABs who assumed that when someone is lying on the ground and has some blood on him he must be dead... Seriously?

That's why it's a joke. MiB know perfectly well that Claymores have amazing regenerative abilities and Raftela was probably a defensive warrior (and even if not it just makes it only slightly less retarded) and yet they didn't even check she was dead and made exact same mistake when Miria was being "killed" and what's more they did this mistake recently. Are you kidding me? That's Naruto/One Piece/Bleach level of writing (i.e. bad).

@Gooral ROFL you have a point there... I mean yeah, Claymore isn't Shortacon but Shounen (heh those popular manga/anime sure have too much fillers and there childish jokes as hell). I just wish Yagi doesn't spoil the shit up trying to rush the ending of this series. Personally, I think latest chapters where way too fast forwarding as if he wanted to settle too much thing in a single chapter. EDIT: No spoilers for Devene's group yet?

Nah she's good people but if I was that guy that went up to her body to see what was taking so long I would have not been a wuss about it and asked them why her head was still on her neck.

As usual Gooral is being a sour puss, declaring a maximum of 6 for a chapter that isn't even out yet. Just because it features a main character he dislikes and has another (who he also probably doesn't like) using an improved version of an existing technique (guess only Clare is allowed to pull that off).

I was one of the few that didn't dislike child (manga) Raki. But when he grew up with all his cheesy lines and stupid behavior, he annoys me. Not to mention he's seriously overpowered. Overall, first 11 volumes of Claymore I would give 10/10, but next 10 -- 7/10 at best. Overall so far Claymore manga is an 8/10 series for me, way below FMA, Hunter x Hunter (but only until chimera ant arc), Desert Punk, Trigun... These are 10/10 series IMO.
@Fenrir I don't like retarded things and it's enough to spoil a chapter for me. So a 6 max is a good approximation. I haven't voted yet so I might change my mind, although I doubt it. And I don't have a problem with Miria having that technique "just because". I have a problem since she didn't use it earlier. And even if Yagi will try and explain that she was somehow during these years training mentally (which would be ridiculous since I don't see how you can train partially awakening, especially when you need to have your "cloak" on so you can't release youki and can't gradually train it) it would still not explain why she didn't use it when she fought the twins, insta-KO-ed everyone and explain everything to Claymores after the fight while presenting them various proofs (with Rimuto's/Rubel's testimony who would be the only survivors as the main thing). |

Out of those 4 series you listed, I'd only consider FMA a 10/10 (though Trigun is close), but different floats for different boats I guess. I (still) consider Claymore superior to the vast majority of Manga out there, though admittedly even I have my frustrations with the story.

... Desert Punk? Trigun? I only saw the animes of both and they aren't what I'd call 10/10... let alone 7/10
FMA is debatable as 10/10 and I haven't read Hunter x Hunter since it has until just a bit ago been on seemingly permanent break. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying post Pieta isn't a 7 or 8 of 10... at least I see the argument for it.

I honestly enjoyed most of post Pieta Claymore, but around the time Miria decided to go solo is when it actually started deteriorating for me. Then again, most Manga that run for any significant length of time start to deteriorate in my experience, I'm just glad Claymore has a planned end, unlike some Manga *cough* (Berserk) *cough* (Ippo).
Anyway, on topic: Surprised we haven't gotten any "official" spoilers yet considering the date. Usually there is a Chinese scan floating around the net at this time.
