| Imagine bringing in someone who doesn't know what this anime is about, and them showing that person the exchange of blows, and then asking what weapon he/she thinks they're using... I'm doubtful that many would guess claymores |

| number 4 sounded like naruto half the time, like when she would yell a bit of naruto came out, lol this was such an awesome episode. is it me or am i just happier if i knew this was the main story? but damn that pricalla in using cheats or is in GOd mode, she's already this powerful and she's not even "strong" yet. she would have been an interesting character, but i'm prbably gonna hate her now if she kills teresa. |

| I liked the part where Irene explained how Teresa got her name. |
| Dayuuum, Teresa is so dam powerful. She makes Clare look so bad... (present time Clare) Looking forward to the next episode, unfortunately I have to sleep. :( |
 |
| Teresa showed the naive teen who's boss. Great stuff. |

| God dammit, now Teresa probably is gonna go Yoma mode and then beat all of them but turn into a Yoma herself or something. |

| Hate that number 2 from the first second. Ugly and annoying. Still the fight is good. |
 |
| Some really high level of fencing here, I must admit it. But the final scene just fired me all up for the next episode :D AWESOME! |
  |
| Awesome Teresa is just to strong..... |
| Damn nice, great fights and an epic cliffhanger! Lets see what will happen next! |

| Another awesome ep. I hope Teresa finds a way to win... |
My Candies:     |
| Kind of a boring episode full of characters boasting and posturing (i.e. shonen cliches). I know these four Claymores are supposed to be the best there are, but seeing them massacre Yoma like they're mere vermin really takes the threat out of the series' antagonists. Whenever this extended flashback ends we'll return to Clare who is obviously much less skilled than these women but seeing the fearsome monsters treated like garbage is just not a good thing for dramatic tension. Priscilla's logic about the need to execute any Claymore who kills a human seems sound, but even though we know very little about the Organization at this point (they could turn out to be sinister), Teresa's retort falls very flat. How is this policy convenient for the Organization? In this episode it is requiring them to kill their best soldier, possibly at the cost of some of their next-best soldiers. This rule rather seems like a burden the Organization carries for the purpose of being trustworthy, as Priscilla said. No one could care about the lives of bandits and the killings took place in a isolated location with the only surviving witness being Clare. Would it really have been so hard to cover it up? If the Organization is choosing to follow its own rules rather than take an easily workable cheat for the sake of keeping their best fighter working for them, it is demonstrating that it is highly principled. The paradox of Teresa's kindness toward Clare causing her to be hunted down for good reasons is great drama. Teresa's shallow sense of superiority isn't. |
| This was the best episode so far with those fights. AWESOME |
| '"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?4th Espada |
| oh god, i was having a heart attack O.O |
| Really dislike that number two chick, she's too simpleminded and naive. Teresa is amazing though |

| Teresa is my favourite character but idk how she's gonna survive this |
| Pls Tell me Teresa will survive this ;x |
 |
| Aw crap, I'm starting to fear for Teresa's life... I dont want her to die so soon. |
 |
| Oh Priscilla....what a bitch. |
 |
| Priscilla already broke down the moment she realized Teresa had the upper hand. She'll probably be the strongest after training but that was rather quick to think you lost the upper hand. One hell of a fight though, ... and this was even before their Yoma powers were used. Teresa is obviously not going to survive the fight but I don't see the 4 of them just easily beating her, despite being Yoma. |
 |
| Damn, I hate Priscilla's type of character who is blindly following her orders without thinking for herself. |
 |
| Teresa is still kicking ass, dayum, but Priscilla is nice too. Hope that the may find a way to settle this peacefully. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So it turned out that Teresa's secret behind her power was her extraordinary sensing ability of Yoma...which explains why she can take on those claymores alone... |
| Noel, Sophia, Ilena and Priscilla look amazing in anime, they are epic! Manga spoilers |
| Sorry for my english xD! RIP Kentaro Miura :( RIP Akira Toriyama :(  |

The paradox of Teresa's kindness toward Clare causing her to be hunted down for good reasons is great drama. Teresa's shallow sense of superiority isn't. It's not like Teresa is wrong either though, which was her point in calling Priscilla brainwashed. Real life isn't always so black and white. The right thing to do isn't always the most lawful. In following the rules, the Organization caused a whole village to suffer at the hands of bandits, which another commenter (Zombiespire) pointed out. So I'm not sure what's shallow about feeling morally superior in a situation where four of your sisters-in-arms show up with intent to kill you while acting like you're the devil's spawn for killing bandits that just pillaged an entire village and saving the women (including Clare, a young girl) from a life of sexual slavery. Frankly, I think it's unfair and dishonest to pretend like Teresa is acting arrogant for no reason. If anything, Priscilla's logic is the one that's shaky and she's actually the one that has a shallow sense of superiority. Priscilla says the rules help people feel safe and ensure that they are safe, and that in breaking them, Teresa has made them all afraid of Claymores. Again, the other commenter pointed out how silly that is. She killed murderers and rapists. If anything, she's made people more safe. No person would look at what she did as wrong, especially back in medieval times when lawful justice was harder to enact. It's reasonable to assume that if Teresa had let them live, they'd go on to do the same thing to any other village that the Claymores cleared of Yoma. Heck, when Teresa first met the bandits in the forest, she followed the rules and let them live and they went on to attack the village. The point is that Teresa did more good breaking the Organizations rules than she ever did following them and that's why it's funny to her that a newbie comes in lecturing her about "destroying trust", calling her a "villain", and saying that she's "killed so many humans" while ignoring all her work as a Claymore killing Yoma and how those humans she killed were in the middle of plundering a village, slaughtering the men and kidnapping the women. With all that in mind, how does the Claymores calling Teresa a "villain, criminal, murderer and traitor", not make them the ones with the "sense of superiority"? And what does it matter that the Organization is "principled", when their same rules end up dooming those they claim they want to protect? Teresa is their best fighter, a fact that every Claymore and even the higher-ups have acknowledged. Personally I can't see what the "good reasons" are to send some of your strongest members on a suicide mission to kill your best defense against the Yoma, just because she killed bandits that even you admitted no one cares about, all to remain "principled". |
| Ah yeah having the other Claymore sent to kill Teresa after what she did was to expect... but I'm fearing the worst now |
