Claymore Chapter 126 Discussion

so it's officially ended. And MAL still keeps it publishing...

Great conclusion to the arc. I miss Clare tho, I imagine she'll be coming back soon.

Well, it might be too early for me to have taken that post as a fact.



Let's just wait until the July issue of Jump Square comes out (or statements from Yagi) before speculating about whether Claymore got axed because it was boring (I didn't think so), has bad sales (where in fact it doesn't), or anything because we don't know for sure if Claymore's really ended.

Has Claymore been doing so badly that the magazine decided to suddenly axe it? Or will it just contiune with a new subtitle since the Organization is effectively wiped out?



Strange thing is that there's no news about either of these possibilities anywhere...

OMG thank god 126 wasnt the ending

I've heard about the continuation thing as well, though I'm not sure what it will entail. I still have no idea where the story could possibly go from here.



Several people of the organisation are still alive, super strong awakened girl is still out there, claire is still in that giant blob and there is still the mainland to explore.

What the hell ?

I need do understand. O_o

When I started reading the chapter... I was all excited. Because there was no more fights, fights & fights, but the plot was moving. It was great when we learned about the Yoma's origins. Then Miria decapitated Rimuto and then... The end?



Shocking.



1. In a way, some things resolved. Okay, the organization was destroyed but there were still survivors like Dae or Rubel. And from the beginning of the chapter we saw them clearly planning something about Priscilla. So even if it was the last chapter, why Yagi showed us that they were planning something? He could have ignored that part.



2. I remember that the main story goal of Claymore was Clare's revenge. Ok, Clare didn't became a character with a super-power to kill Priscilla, but she managed to defeat her in a way by getting trapped in that blob along her. As long as she is there, Priscilla cannot escape but since it is a shounen, most readers were expecting a final fight like the one of the anime. Anyway, after the time skip... It changed direction. It mostly focused on Miria destroying the organization that were the bad guys.



3. In the end, Raki's bond with Clare and his training felt useless. They would never meet, (unless there is a sequel indeed) and he was barely useful.



4. The Dragon Kins & the other continent was quite interesting. I couldn't wait until those long-battles in volumes 21-22 end and continue with the exploration of the other continent. But... nothing.



Now there are many rumors, who knows what it is reliable... Some say that it was because of that copyrights law, some say Yagi might move on another magazine under a different title... Some say that he will put Claymore on hiatus until he get more inspiration...



I just hope it will continue or else everything will be wasted. Building such a story & then ending it in such a way. This reminds me so much of the ending of Xenosaga Episode III.
