"I should hope that the explanation is more interesting than some tedious issue of willpower."



Haha, that put a smile on my face knowing how a lot of characters in other shounens are able to overcome all odds with some simple willpower. I'm glad Claymore is more logical and thought out.



IMO, the only down-side to the so called 'will power' is simply how it's used in shounen manga, but I don't doubt it's existence if re-worded correctly. Will power could be linked with the brain selfishness's of survival, and 'survival' (or rather, reason for living) is also associated with protecting someone else, so even if the concerned person is not in front of death but his 'reason of living' is, the 'will power' phenomenon can occur.



It's simply exaggerated to no end in shounen manga, but it's not one of the most unrealistic elements you often come across. It's pretty much how I see it though, and I don't really believe it in shounen manga since their aim is simply "Don't give up" and not "We'll prove that everything here is scientifically correct in some extreme situations even though we've emphasized it endlessly."



In the end, I'm still glad I saw that lady say that sentence in this manga making fun of that too, since lack of originality is too common. Even though it's considered shounen, I don't really see Claymore like that; I don't rank it with mainstream series such as Naruto or Bleach genre-wise.



I'm not saying willpower isn't logical, but as you say it's overused so much in shounens that it was nice to finally see it cast aside. I too don't really see Claymore as a shounen, it seems to me more like a seinen, but it is labeled as a shounen so I couldn't help but comment on that quote. Also, that two-face thing was a woman? I thought it was a man. :P

I am getting tired of all the new enemies appearing since a while... it seems nothing happens except new kind of monsters! And.. is it just me... the drawings have changed?? Well I can't wait until the real action ans plot starts back!

----------------------------------------

                        nice chapter. uma and cynthia is in  big trouble i don't see how will they survive that and even if they do how would they out run that monster? worst of all, there is a second wave coming. cant wait for the next chapter

i wish we could have seen some raki fighting

raki will be just like this guy from resident evil ;p he will be turned into mutant but in the end he will recognise clare ^_^

I'm impressed that Raki was able to hold out being transformed. Where the hell was Priscilla back then? :(

I liked the last chapter more... no Riful action here :( I wonder what's going to happen to her now. I'm really hoping she survives, maybe she and Alcia join forces? Although I doubt it...



Don't know what to think of Beths power. It's out of the questin that she is REALLY strong, but I mean she is like a completly new "race" in the Claymore-world: awakaned LucielaxRafaela parasite + Claymore. Maybe she didn't awoke after all and the parasite is using her as a host? Or it's 2 merged awakened beings like Luciela and Rafaela... that would mean she is far stronger than any other awakaned being before? Hope it runs out of energy before it finishes of Uma and Cynthia ;_;



Techically, Alice is now also a dweller of the deep? ._. And because she awoke Beth moved 1 place up, became Nr. 1, also awoke and thus beacame one too? They are for sure a mach for Riful, even in ther human forms they were (as a team, tough)...



The willpower-Raki think make me lol. I want to know what happend with thim during the 7 years. I mean, come on, if a human can kill a yoma (not to mention the army of awakaned parasites) they would be no need for the Claymores (even if he was trained by Isley).
