Great episode! But I still found the fights in 7 much more than this one, and I didn't expect Priscilla do be blue in her awakened form. More like redish after reading the manga(that's just the color that bumped up in my head).

Holy shit. This episode hurt. Was heavy stuff, but Devil-Priscilla looked freaking awesome in her awakened form! She must be the most evil being I've seen in quite a long time. Really liked this episode, even though I'm not really a fan of episodes where there's only fighting.

I was tempted to say I hated it for a second there ^^.

The fact is the episode was briliant... Even though... my favourite character so far is history now. Still it's her fault for letting her guard down, ne?
Still hated the way she died, and that's what makes the episode excelent. The ability to bring out emotions on the viewers.

Either way... number 1 to 5 met their end (correction, except 2)... that must have been a great blow on the organisation at the time. Too bad we didn't see more.

I'd figure Priscila is gonna be the "boss" in the series and that clare will utimately confront her. Of course this is only a supposition..

Now I'm looking foward to see the plot go back to the original story line, and see clare and raki again.

That was a great episode. I knew Teresa was going to have to go eventually but that just really sucked the way she went out. With all that talk about being hungry for human flesh I thought Priscilla was going to take a bite out of Claire in the end but she does the typical villain mistake: Leave a survivor and they'll definitely come back for your head when they're much stronger.

I was caught totally off guard. I was antecipating what was going to happen, but it was just... Wow. I haven't read the manga (But I'm feeling really tempted right now), but I guess it must be one of the top missions of the Organization to kill that "traitor."

Awesome episode! Was really caught by surprise there (reminded me of when the first chevalier showed up in Blood+. soooooooo powerfull). Knew Teresa was going to die, and it was sad :(

Haha, true. But that only explains why she's able to tell the story which equals the fact that Clare didn't get killed back then. Doesn't explain why =D .

I was prepared for it.. yet, I was not... and so I was shocked.. even though I knew she was going to die........

The fighting in 7 was better (especially compared to the begining of 8), but that does not matter.. I was like "oh my, she's going to die.. how how! when when!" and then SLICE! her hands.. and then SLICE her head and I was like "what the crap!!" and then I remembered how I realized it was going to happen...............

Why did she die!?!?! *cries*

yah "what the crap!!" is a good way to descibe it. I keep rewinding the scene in my head, which means, it was great. Even though they killed my favourite character, claymore went some points up after that.
Too bad they had to go and kill Irene too...

And from the beginning I knew she would have to die eventually.. (although I didn't want her too.). 'Coz there was no way she was going to let Clare become a claymore while she lived.

Now has a side note, Clare should let her hair grow long don't you think....? ^^

As I said, I was not surprised as it was fairly obvious to everyone that she had to die and I was 98% sure that this epsidoe was going to be the one.. but it still shocked me.....

On another note, on a death note.. note.. erm, it is kind of like when (first Death Note story arc, most people probably know this by now, but yeah)
and my friend told me before I read it and I wanted to kill him, so badly. Because he read it off some forum or something annoying like that.. Even so, when it happened it was still somewhat shocking. (and sad!!!@#$~$)

It's her fault for letting her guard down. She could only keep up with Priscila by releasing her powers too (10% if I recall right). She went back to normal status and her reflexes dropped, while Priscilla's speed/strength stayed the same. Thus, she didn't not have the reflexes to counter at the time. (that's a least my explanation ^_^.)

I don't think that's the case. What we all have to agree in is: They did it very well (killed her very well, if you want). The expression on Teresa's face when she realised what had just happened was priceless, and the just before and right after was brilliantly done as well imo.

If it shocks the viewers and manages to pull out emotions from them, then for me it's a great scene, independently of the fact that they just killed everyone's favourite character.

Indeed. I'd like to know who occupies those positions now... maybe in the next episode, judging from the title. Though Clare is prolly in one of those positions.

Oh, that is certainly not a record for them, I will tell you that much XD
As for Clares position, you will be surprised... I'm sure.
...
Added Irene, Priscilla and the coolest character ever in Claymore to the character list...Although it will be quite some time until Riful will make her appearance...
The next episode will be the first of "The Slashers" arc, chapter 25 in book 5...The manga is already at 12 volumes and counting...8 episodes makes 4 and a half volume so far then...And Riful won't appear until Volume 8... I assume that will be four episodes...

This was pretty much . . . awesome. It seems impossible that Clare will be able to even scratch Priscilla later on as she obviously has to kill her now. But ya like all you others say, I replayed that scene several time in slow mo because it was so cool and fast, and yes Teresa does go back to 100% human before she gets killed. Look forward to the rest of the series. May there be many a more amazing plot twists!

Pisses me off how Teresa died. Still, if she was going to die it was going to be a fluke way for it to happen. That's what happens when you let your guard down. She had her opportunity to finish it and she wasted it. Sad to see... well, the story continues.

Finally got around to watching the episode and thought it was really good.. I knew her death was coming and it still caught me off guard. First I'm thinking, less talk more head slicing and then.. oh shit. My mouth was open for the rest of the episode in how well done that was.. even though such a good character died :(

For real... you knew it was going to happen, but didn't know when. Then, it a few quick seconds... slash... hands go... slice... off goes her head. Not much reaction other than the look of confusion after the hands came off.

I can honestly say that I really dislike Priscilla... just so naive and weak-hearted.

I am both sadened and shocked at Teresa's death. That was one of the most brilliant story arcs I have ever seen. They build up the character of teresa with all this situations just to make SURE that everybody absolutely loved her. And then at the ABSOLUTE ZENNITH of her coolness they kill her off in the most sudden way POSSIBLE!

That's good story telling right there! I was actually depressed for a good five minutes. That shit shouldn't happen! That bitch ain't real! But yet and still it did.

Battle Royale used the same story telling technique in the manga. They would make you fall in love with a character and then they would kill them off at the zennith of that love.


Fuck aeris! To hell with L! God damn Vegeta!

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE A GOD DAMNED TERESA SHRINE!!!


But yet and still, having Teresa live only in 5 short episodes and die has given her legendary status making her one of the greatest anime characters of all time.

Never said better. Priscilla better get some serious pwnage later!!!

But I agree with some of the thoughts here -- it was a serious mistake on Teresa's part to let her guard down.

A frustrating plot cliche, if not done well, is the seeming victory of the protagonists who then let their guard down while surprise, surprise -> ebil isn't defeated yet!

But Teresa's death surprising -- I had a "wha...? Nooooooo!" moment here.

Edited: because of grammar errors. >_<
