Lol baman, n1.

Anyway, another amazing episode. Looks like Priscilla is not going to be the final enemy? That kind of surprised me but then again this show always does.

When I saw Clare not having enough control over herself / power to return back, I thought that this is going to cause some problems in future fights, right?

Preview looked great as well.

Aye. I've read the manga so I know what happens.
And yes, Galatea is flashing her moves.

Nah, Priscilla will always be the main enemy for Clare. You can tell by the way she lost it when Riful mentioned Priscilla.
Never the less, it will be interesting to see Awakened beings clash.. and probably the Organization won't sit tight during this, and will take the change to slay some or all of them. The plot is looking pretty interesting now. Cool to see Galatea's fighting too. Nice ability she has... although it's easily beaten once discovered.
It also surprised me when Clare couldn't turn back. But then again Miria had already mentioned the possibility. So I guess she needs to be more careful in the future, since Galatea won't always be there to help her.
I really wanna see the conclusion to this arc, and how is Clare gonna handle the awakened Jean.

Yep, Xinil finally added that note in the first post as well.


And of course I know that Clare's enemy is Priscilla, I was more thinking that there might be worse enemies for the Claymores to fight than her.

Yeah probably. Though, it's indeed a bit awkward if it's like that.. since normally the main "boss" is the strongest one. Now that I think about it... Clare's handler had mention something about Priscilla being among strongest but not the stronger too. hmm... maybe her power grows with time.. dunno :)
But if the top awakened kill each other shell probably rise on top.
hm... O_O.. Just occurred to me she might be the one "manipulating" the top guy into this clash.. heh. Now I'm even more interested.

And I just noticed those comments in the pics. lol.. nice. Though Duff's face looks anything but serious :P.

These cliffhangers are killing me. They spent a good chunk explaining various things but it still was good. On one hand I hate those cocky villains like Riful who just sit back not lifting a finger and letting her henchman handle things. On the other I'm worried that when she does decide to act she's going to inflict some serious pain on Galatea and Clare.

It will be interesting to see how well they do in the next episode since it appears Jeane has already awoken. Galatea seemed to be placing a lot of hope into getting her to join them in their fight. If Clare ends up having to kill her I wonder what plan B will be.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

Riful's intent is to gather minions to fight the Abyssal One of the north, which is why she does not go all out to kill them.
As for her power...She was number one of the first generation of female Claymores...Also, she should be approximately 539 years old if we assume each generation lasts seven years, so she have had a lot of time to improve herself...

Galatea... She was sent by the organization, but I wonder if she isn't going to be on Clare's side.

Three Awakened Number One's? I thought one of them was Priscilla, but I guess I was wrong? (She was pretty much a number one when she awakened...)

Wasn't Priscilla around number 4? Sure, she was above a number 1 in power when she awakened, but that doesn't instantly change her ranking in the organization.

Anyways, great episode, Galatea is badass.

She was number two I believe. And by killing Teresa, she became number one.

Good episode. One thing the manga did different, at least my interpretation, was Clare only needed Galatea's help to turn back on the second time. And that's why Riful was interested in Clare. Seems to have less impact if Galatea helped her turn back both times, it doesn't seem as special then.

Eclipse called the uber awakened ones "Dwellers of the Deep". I think I prefer Abyssal Ones, since wouldn't the 1st name imply that they only lived in deep holes somewhere...though Riful appears to be doing just that. Where as abyssal can mean unmeasurable or unfathomable, seems to work on more levels in regards to their powers and among other things.

Ah, you're right, she was number 2. But she can't be counted as a "Dweller of the Deep", since at the moment she awakened(before killing Theresa), she was still number 2, while "Dwellers of the Deep" are Claymore that were number 1 at the time they awakened.

I really like the episode. It's a pleasure to see this arc get animated and I love the voices... visualizing can get difficult at times. Riful doesn't look as cute as she does in the manga... she's rather fair skinned.

Anyway, Galatea and Clare teaming is awesome. I've grown to like Galatea and I just hope that she can stay alive. Her announcement that her rate of power increase from releasing her Yoki is number 1 among Claymores is quite a claim. Makes me wonder what the the two Claymores above her are like and why she is number 3. And despite Galatea releasing her Yoki, Riful is confident that this is not enough to win. Things are getting interesting and somewhat helpless.

I agree, I hate how they're not being called Abyssal ones in the anime :(. Other then that its fallowing the manga nicely. btw does anyone know when the next manga chapter comes out? It's been on volume13 chapter73 for like a month.

Well, since Eclipse does soft-subs for the h264 releases, all you guys have to do is change "Dwellers of the Deep" to "Abyssal Ones" ^^;

I prefer "Abyssal Ones", but I'm not suffering with "Dwellers of the Deep". It's the same with "Oyashiro-sama" and "Shrine God". In the end, you know what the names are referring to and you can substitute it in your mind as you read the subs.

Haha, I don't hate it enough to change it. Plus I've had problems in the past with text encoding and subs not displaying properly afterwards. Someone needs to update Subtitle Workshop so it remembers the same settings from the original file. xP

I was just wondering what made Eclipse go with that, instead of the pre-established Abyssal Ones. Especially since it works so much better then what they chose. Maybe there are no manga readers in the group.

OMG!!! That ep was Freakin Awesome/Hilarious, definitely the funniest part of the show so far. When Daf starts cryin, when Gelata owns him, is so funny. Gelata is freakin bad ass!! I love her manipulation technique, brilliant. And when Clare's leg gets smashed that shit is lookin vicious, then I remember, oh she can fix it. Probably the second best episode so far. The best still has to be Precilla's awakening, by far!! Off to watch the next one. Urahara Out!!

Looks more like Clare gets more skilled with time. I dunno about her power level because, while in theory she's #47, well, not everyone can kill a #4 who, on top of that, was already Awakened. But to me, she's definitely making up for weakness with skill. Very clever if you ask me :3

But damn... just see how fucking badass is Galatea. And Clare seems to keep to some degree her ability to straddle her limit back and forth. O_O

I think she has to like get body parts from all the highest ranked people + actually put on Teresa's head in order to be half as strong as Priscilla.

Wow, that was an awesome episode. The fight scenes were great and we didn't even have an actual fight for now. Galatea is pretty as can be, to the point where I really feel hard to watch her in her yoma form :S Also - I thought Clare would be able to revert back way easier than before but she technically lost to her yoma side :0

And the story about the Creatures of the Abyss... It made my anime month! Also, we've actually got a plot now! I thought the best plot we're going to get was the Priscilla hunt, but no! It's like things can't get any better than this.
