The scene starts with Rubel visiting the research facility to check on the progress of Dae's latest deadly experiment, the resurrection of 3 former #1 warriors with the fusion of...Priscilla's flesh!!! Perhaps the introduction of these 3 super warriors are needed to power balance the current blob that houses the Destroyer, Priscilla and Clare? There's no way for the Ghosts and Organisation to counter the Blob without any external help, but then again this is just an assumption.
As they were discussing about the selection of former #1 warriors to resurrect, Cassandra was chosen as a highlight in the manga. When she broke through her limits, everyone around her was torn limb from limb, now that's pretty cool haha! As ridiculous as the sudden introduction of these 3 overpowered warriors (what's even ridiculous anymore in this manga?), I am so stoked to see their individual abilities and how the Ghosts fare against them!!
Dae's comparison with Abyssal Ones gave the readers a gauge of the power of these 3 new warriors. And also it affirms that if given enough time for Dae to prepare, these 3 new warriors will be completely under control like Alicia/Beth I presume. I don't know but I just have this feeling the new "zombies" will just go wild.
Come to think about it, what is Raki's real role in this manga? He's so damn useless!!!! I thought perhaps he would transform into some awesome monster after being infected, but it seems like so far the purpose for that is just to transport Priscilla's arm to the Organisation to create these 3 new warriors. Is he just a character for the storyline? A male claymore would have been quite an interesting addition.
The scene jumps to the facility at the north where the Ghosts and the deserted warriors reduce the awakened beings to nothing. I'm really starting to love Dietrich and Anastasia more now, in fact this current generation of warriors although lacking in power, is quite frankly the most interesting generation to date!!!
#1 - Alicia (dead)
#2 - Beth (dead)
#3 - Audrey (Deflection abilities)
#4 - Miata (INSANE POWER but deserted, would she return as #1?)
#5 - Rachel (Strong springing strike, works perfect with #3 abilities)
#6 - Renee (Superb sensing abilities, fastest warrior in the org)
#7 - Anastasia (Uses hair to create footholds in midair during battle)
#8 - Dietrich (Demoted but still superb! Org's covert ops tracker)
#9 - Nina (Blade follows target youma energy till extinguished)
#10 - Raftela (Manipulation of warrior's senses)
None of them have any superior offensive abilities other than Rachel (excluding Alicia, Beth and Miata), most are just purely technique based warriors. Would they be more effective in fighting than the previous generation? I don't know but it does seem like they are much softer in comparison.
Scene shifts back to the organisation as someone is shouting instructions for the warriors that have gathered. They are told to head towards the northern path to attack the rebelling warriors.
This scene was a little suspicious to me coz that reaction effect seems abit weird. It seems as though they are travelling at high speed, when I think they should have been releasing their yoki in preparation? In that case the usual biki biki crap should have been used instead. But now...with all that motion blur in between them, it seemed to me like a "powerful phantom warrior" is in the midst of the crowd. Highly unlikely though haha.
A specific warrior in the crowd was then singled out to narrate what happened to Miria during her assault against the organisation. Actually her appearance seems cool and fierce enough to warrant a special technique from Yagi haha! And holy crap? Three months has passed since Miria was supposedly dead? I'm too lazy to analyse the timeline but that seems a little farfetched.
The warrior also revealed that during the time when Alicia and Beth was sent out to kill Riful, all the warriors were gathered at the HQ to protect the base. And this is their second time gathering at the HQ, but this time it was to ambush the rebels at the north. The translation is ridiculously wrong here, it states that Alicia and Beth orchestrated an attack on the organisation.....laughable.
Badass Miria =)
When the injured Claymores awoke, all of them realised they were allowed to live. I wouldn't doubt this part caused it's quite obvious when none of them are dead, but the following sequenced that Yagi drafted was a tad bit farfetched.
When one of the twin trainees impaled Miria at a non-vital part, all of them came to a conclusion on the spot to orchestrate an attack on Miria. Much like what Miria did to them, they wanted to damage her enough such that she will look dead to the organisation but still lives to tell her tale.
The gruesome sight that we all gasped at a few months ago....NOOOO MY MIRIA!!!!
It was a liiiitttttllllleeee too much to assume that everyone had the same motives of hacking her without killing, all without any form of communication so the organisation wouldn't suspect. But I guess it's just manga and I shouldn't take it too seriously.
Either way it was their thanks to Miria for letting them live instead of killing them, which she was more than capable of doing. Not really sure what happened from then onwards as they didn't explain, but I was so relieved when I read till this point. It was like...omg I know it's coming, I know Miria is gonna appear soon!!!!
Have you heard a man squeal like a young girl before? Now you have. The comeback sequence of the Phantom Warrior is PERFECTO. Cue in dramatic Claymore Anime's soundtracks. I'm liking the organisation's warriors seen here, they all have their unique appearances which makes me more curious about who they are. They are unique enough to have some character introduction!!
I've got CHILLS down my spine when I saw this, and honestly a bit of tears welled up in my eyes. SHE'S BACK WITH A COOL SCAR HELL YES. The way that she survived the ordeal was quite reasonably dealt with, I am impressed with Yagi's storytelling. We were almost too sure that Miria is gone for good, it just seemed impossible for her to survive. Which was why the impact of seeing Miria again was......AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I'd really love to see the exchange between Miria and the current organisation warriors, what really happened after her failed invasion. I'd think that Audrey and Rachel the current highest rank warriors, who owe her a huge debt fromt he Riful incident, would have been her contact point and greatest influence over the other warriors.
BESIDES, ISN'T THIS SCAR JUST BADASS? I really love the new look!!! And how awesome would it be if Helen kept her eyepatch? It would have just fit perfectly with Miria. Now it seems like Helen got her eye injured for no purpose in the manga's storyline, perhaps Yagi just wanted to add in an eyepatch for the humour.
Yagi being yagi would probably cut back to the scene with Clare next chapter. I'd really love to see Miria's reaction when she hears about Clare haha. That said, the Ghosts really need Clare's power now especially when the 3 former #1 warriors are resurrected. This is probably one of the coolest chapters recently, and the one that got the most reaction out of me when I read it haha. I am pretty damn sure it's the same case for u!
