Claymore Chapter 96 Discussion

i've been hoping for the raki gets taken to the organization move for so long <3.

There really is irony around this Yoma in the way it totally contradicts the Twin Godess that saved the world. I easily see how this monster destroys the whole world.



Also, Raki is giving me some little reason to continue reading this manga.

Helen is my hero in this chapter "NO FUCKIN' WAY!"



Now that that thing has Beth as its battery, you can say this is serious. And they better make it a epic battle.



And the next time you see Raki, he is no longer a boy or a man anymore. He will be a GAR!!!!

Things don't look to bright for them. I hope Uma and Cynthia are okay..

Touka said:
"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.

if Prisc. is still around she wont let them take him. its rather odd that she would be away from him though.



it looks like they are in for round 2 another hopeless situation like the Invasion.



doesn't it seem that since the introduction of awakened beings, they have been getting more and more out of control. each time the organization creates a new weapon they lose control of it.



as for the willpower thing... scientifically minded people tend to look for more quantifiable explanation but will power can have a significant effect on the outcome. of course it is that much more interesting if its something other than willpower but the irony of what that man said is that for all the claymore to stay human as long as they can, willpower is generally the major factor to that end.

Damn that creature is so powerfull I don't fucking  know  how can they stop that thing...

Not as good as the previous chapter imo. The awakened+mutated Beth is probably as strong as the formal abyssal ones if not stronger, which means: uma & cynthia = dead



I wonder how Riful vs Alicia turned out. Clare of the mixed bodyparts & co. need to figure out something if they want to survive in the long run
