Claymore Chapter 119
Welcome to the monthly discussion thread for Claymore, Chapter 119.
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. |

Most of the chapter contents are Cassandra's flashbacks. Audrey is about to be killed by Cassandra but she suddenly stops her attack. As her memories reawaken, Cassandra's wounds (from the time she first died) split back open. Next are the flashbacks. Just after Roxanne named Cassandra the "Dust-Eater", Cassandra met another warrior who she can confide in. Cassandra's friend's name is not revealed here in this translation, who is ranked no. 35, and resembles Cynthia, was the only survivor of an AB hunt. Seems like Cassandra rescued no. 35 with her dust-eating technique, but no. 35 was not affected and she just shed tears while thanking her for her help. From then on, Cassandra became very close with no. 35. One day, no. 35 went on an AB hunt with Roxanne (who was no. 2 by then at the time). However, Roxanne abandoned no. 35 with their other comrades to the AB, leading to no. 35's death. Cassandra went out of control upon hearing her best friend's demise and went on a rampage against the Organization. It took Roxanne and all the other warriors to kill Cassandra, and she was slashed 126 times before she eventually died. The flashback ends here and Cassandra immediately awakens upon reacquiring her memories. So chapter ends with AB Cassandra vs. Roxanne.

Wow... I find myself fully agreeing with Gooral two spoilers in a row. Maybe it's something I ate (it was an apple )
Seriously though, this plot has potential... really hoping it is true. Thanks for the translation weils

Is it just me or does the idea of an entire chapter devoted to one character and those that mess with her just feel good... like the pre pieta days. There has been too many split chapters of late imho

I agree it's better. Having characters all over the island and jumping from one to another makes chapters less fluent and the story feels more artificial and forced. It also makes the story look as if it doesn't progress at all or it goes very slow.
Going back to spoiler, google translation was really good this time. I've practically understood everything. I didn't mention about Roxanne since it seemed almost impossible but I'm glad it came true. Looks like I was right about her (Roxanne) being the strongest (unless she's just stupid and isn't afraid of anyone or anything). I wonder though if it's already time for 22 pages though... Looks like it to be honest assuming it was all that happened. Oh, and in next month Claymore won't have color page either. I hope it will get one in this year, it was already stripped of one in May. |

BBF? Belly Button Fluff?
On a serious note, looks like we have two awakened "Mirias" and two "Ophelias". They both lost a dear friend due to psycho's meddling, although Cassandra's friend had it much worse it seems. After all she was raped by AB (I don't remember any other case it happened earlier, I know youma raped but not ABs) and tortured. Couldn't be worse. |

Roflmao, I'm aware it was clunky; no reason to delete my post though . Oh well
I agree with you Ryus; long-drawn out chapters with huge focus on character development is what I miss and the way to go -- I was never crazy for the huge jumping back and forth, especially often in a single chapter, that the story turned too the past couple of years; like the focus suddenly changed to beautiful art and action rather then great story-telling. It seems to be shifting back to that though. As for the spoiler though; the only thing that feels weird to me is that Cassandra's wounds would reopen just because she remembered her memories....that seems just plain weird to me. Just because I remember a bruise, doesn't mean I'll suddenly have it back. It would make sense though if Cassandra was still actually feeling the effects of the wounds, because she still was actually damaged (perhaps the revival didn't actually heal them) and the damage just now caught up with her "new" body which triggered the return of her memories.

As for your translation, that changes things a bit but still there is a difference being killed by a Claymore and being killed by an AB. Compared to Cassandra Miria had no reason to go crazy, Hilda would have been killed either way. In terms of being a cutthroat bitch Roxanne wins by far with Ophelia. She's on a whole different level in every possible way it seems. |

And that's right; I haven't heard of a case of a warrior being raped by a AB before - then again, when you remember Dauf and his brutish attempts, it's probably not as uncommon as all that.

As to rape... well Clare was implied to have been raped by her brother and then the yoma (why she defended Teresa most likely since she couldnt let hero go through what she did, even with how weak and scared she was) and the sixarmed AB seemed like he might take his time with the fab 4... just maybe he might have taken it to the next level after a bit.

The fact that Dae isn't concerned doesn't have to imply that Roxanne is just that superior to Cassendra. It could also be that he just wants to know which of his creations is the "most perfect". Remember, at the end of the day Dae is Dae. And Dae doesn't give a shit about the organization if he can expand his experiments. Hell, if he knew about the Claire/Priscilla blob he wouldn't hesitate to release them just for the lulz!
Also Cassandra is "just a regular No 5 with a super strong technique". Of course Roxanne doesn't really care about her. I wouldn't conclude that Roxanne is on the "Priscilla"-lvl. based on these facts. We don't even know how she fights maybe her special abillities are just that advantageous? That aside, I also suspect that she is the strongest of the three tbh. And as we know she can erase her yoki so Raftela can't help Cassandra. It would be interesting seeing the ghosts siding with an awakend to kill the "real monster". Last edited by fraktur; 2011-10-01 at 18:50. |

what really interests me is the fact that cassandra's wounds reopened as she remembered her death and the conditions behind it. Maybe we can draw parallels to how claymores heal their bodies? If I recall correctly, galatea said that regenerating grandly depends on one's memories. What if the same logic is applied here? If that was the case, Raftela could even help offensive warriors regenerate
She could even kill roxanne and hysteria. It would be weird if rafetla plunged into one of those two's mind and extract the exact memory of their head getting chopped off so a wound open and their head actually drop without any physical contact |
