Claymore 108

As expected of Yagi, this chapter shifted away from the Organisation and Miria to show the rest of the Ghosts again. Oh well I'm already numb from cliffhangers!! Apparently it seems like the Ghosts have left Clare alone to deal with Priscilla as they sped off to Rabona. If you think about it, what could the injured bunch of them do to save Clare? It was the clash of the biggest titans on the island right now, you either run or die.

That is not to say the Ghosts have decided to abandon Clare though, the only reason why I think they are heading to Rabona is to seek Miria's help. SHE CAN'T BE DEAD MAN, I still refuse to believe it ARGHH. You can take my word that Yagi will not just kill Miria like this, it's waaayyy too damaging and pointless to the manga. On the way, Deneve and gang senses danger lurking in Rabona.






















The holy city of Rabona is invaded and overrun by youma and awakened beings, of which the reason will be revealed at the end of the chapter. Finally we see the comeback of Miata and Clarice who have been missing in action for ages!!!! How long has it been, 2 years??











And action is what we got this chapter, lots of it. Clarice is shown to have changed from a wuss to someone who is confident and giving orders now. It seems like Clarice and Yuma have changed the most in such a short amount of time, their characters are actually shown to be quite similar don't you think!

I thought this chapter was rather boring to be honest, I mean haven't we seen them fight far stronger opponents before? Suuureeee there's loads of fighting, but it's just there to show the invasion of Rabona, nothing special during the fights. We all wished the scene would jump back to Clare or Miria but it's not happening haha, this is Yagi's manga!






















Galatea and Tabitha lends their hand in the defense, and are in charge of dealing with all the awakened beings. Take note that in this chapter, Tabitha has healed completely. Last we saw her, she was bandaged all around so this shows how much time has passed since Miria left. There's some confusion with readers about the timeline, that Miria left for the organisation as soon as Dietrich told them the news. And the next thing we know Dietrich pops up to save Clare and Yuma at the other end of the island.

This should be the sequence of events.

Miria and gang senses Alicia and Beth making their move.
Miria meets Dietrich and both of them leave Rabona.

Destroyer awakens and parasites attack the land.
Dietrich probably sensed the Destroyer and Deneve/Helens aura.
Alicia, Beth, Riful and Dauf fights Priscilla and die.
Dietrich arrives to save Yuma and Cynthia.
Concurrently Miria has arrived at the Organisation and DIED.

Deneve and group rushes back to Rabona for help.

God I pity the trauma that Galatea and Tabitha must face, sensing soooooo much chaos that's happening islandwide LOL.













The moment I saw the claymore, I immediately thought it was Miata haha! She loooveeess throwing her claymore around.















Nope it's Yuma's! She's just getting more and more impressive by the day, can't wait for find out what Yagi has in store for her. NOT DEATH PLEASE. Perhaps one day Yuma will develop her own special warrior ability, something related with her throwing accuracy.












Dietrich is out to kick ass as well in this chapter. Undoubtedly, this chapter is important for Dietrich's development which we will find out later.










After the underwhelming and boring fight, the city of Rabona is reduced to a sad mess. But once again, the claymores have saved this city.










Finally we get some proper dialogue after the battle to see how the story advances. But unfortunately nothing new is revealed this chapter!! It somehow feels like Tabitha is so unloved amongst the Ghosts LOL. Firstly being cut down by their own captain, and now being treated with such disrespect from Deneve.

















So now we know why Rabona was invaded, more importantly we get a confirmation that youma and awakened beings are the products of the organisation. Actually it was just a guess by the Ghosts all along, even now Galatea is just saying based on hypothesis. We don't really have solid evidence about the Organisation now do we?






















Sigh...more and more confirmation that Miria is dead. Lamest major character death ever in all the mangas I've read. What is the purpose of letting Galatea live on for so long in this manga? Perhaps her role in the manga is to take leadership of the Ghosts now that Miria is dead? Could Yagi have planned for Galatea to be their leader all along, and Miria just a vehicle to kick start an investigation into the Organisation's true intentions?
















The group at Rabona finally realises....Clare is missing as well.















And the chapter ends with no conclusion on what happened to Clare. We can only guess that the situation was so hopelessly out of their hands that they just left Clare there.

This chapter has two purposes, and that is to show how evil the Organisation is. Secondly it's to make Miata, Clarice and Dietrich realise how evil the Organisation is and join the Ghosts in the end. Considering how righteous Dietrich's character is, she is undoubtedly going to turn her back against the Organisation.

Considering how similar in character Dietrich and Miria is, Yagi could have planned for Dietrich to take over Miria's personality in the manga all along. Someone who has integrity, accounts for the warriors fighting along with them, has excellent leadership and tactical skills, calm and collected, these two characters are extremely similar. Do you think Dietrich will go back to the Organisation as their spy from now on? It kinda makes sense for Dietrich to take over Miria's legacy haha, they are way too similar so Miria has to die somehow.

I am quite satisfied with all the questions I had in my previous chapter commentaries, regarding the status of certain characters in the manga. We finally got to see the rest of the Ghosts, Miata and Clarice, Dietrich. As well as the deaths of a lot of characters. But now we are left with these questions,

Is Clare still alive?
Is Miria still alive?
Surprisingly, I'm also quite concerned about this remaining query.
Is Renee still alive?

I really want to know!! Let's not forget the Eye of the current generation and also the fastest warrior. Having 3 Eyes on the island is abit too much, but I don't think her story has ended yet. It's too open-ended, it's too Yagi. I think I just answered my own doubts.
