Wow, she actually won. In any case, it was sad about Irene, wtf is she going to do with no arms?

Great episode, I felt like it was far too long for a normal ep. Ophelia ended up being a cool bitch instead of emo bitch. Ilena surprised me on her side too - I mean, how could you expect someone to cut off his only arm to give it to someone else? I personally have never seen such a thing in anime so I honestly didn't see this coming. Also, Clare did pretty cool in this episode, and now she really has some considerable strength - I think I finally start to acknowledge and like her.

Btw, it's already ep. 14 - I feel like nothing important on the present plot have happened to now but we're already past the 50% line and this is 1-season anime. I hope the real shit is gonna start soon.

See Ophelia was not that bad, everyone hated her in the last episodes.
Irene was a boss. All the older Claymores were crazy strong.

Great episode, Clare got a new arm and managed to gain the fast sword ability! With Ophelia been released she managed to stand strong and defeat her with an epic battle! Lets see what's next!

Monster Girl fans will love this episode!

I find it really funny that Ophelia actually died here, because everything that happened to her was self-inflicted. She could have prevented all of this but gyess she didnt care about avenging her brother that much...

Oh, god, it was so bad. Ilena says Clare needs composure to use the gimmick technique but just swapping out arms solves the problems. The overt "power-escalator" progression of having Clare defeat an even more powerful form of the woman who beat her so badly before her power-up. Ophelia being horrified at her own transformation was an interesting idea, but it just does super-obvious dialogue about it and her death was so mawkish.

It's a good thing Irene didn't live long after she gave Clare her arm...she might have come up against a closed door and really regretted that decision.

I was kind of curious as to Ophelia's reasons for hating Awakened Beings, up to the point where she became one herself.

Aw shit did Ilena die? :( The moment Ilena revealed she only had one arm, I had a feeling that she was going to chop it off herself and give it to Clare. I didn't expect it to ACTUALLY happen though, lol!

lol for Ophelia not recognizing what she became.
Clare is getting really strong in the last few episodes. I wonder if she can make it to the Top 5?
I did not like Irene when we first met her, but I have to say she is warm hearted as Teresa in her own way. Sad she had to die that way.
Really looking forward to the next ep.

Ilena damn, you sacrificed your only arm and now Clare can kick more ass.

I guess she also knew that Rafaela was coming so she had to give Clare her arm because there wasn't enough time to train her.

Damn Irene ... you are the real MVP.
Not only giving her last arm to Clare ... but also trusting her she'll put it to good use.

Seems Ophelia's brother got destroyed by Priscilla aswell.
I actually felt a bit sad for Ophelia at the end.

Wonder how many other bodyparts she will inherit.
Maybe a new leg at some point.

Lol that late reaction. Ophelia has been awakened for a while and only realized it when she saw her reflection in the water? Just how..
I'm glad Clare was able to defeat her with Irene's arm. Nailed it.

Fight was kind of disappointing, felt like they made Ophellia give up just so Clare would be able to win.

Irene gave her arm to Clare, nice, but I don't think she escaped from Rafaela like that.
Wow, Priscilla ate Ophelia's brother.

It's especially madening since the characterization of Ophelia as a complete homicidal maniac prior to ever unleashing any Yoki was never really expanded on and sure didn't make it easier for me to accept that she would have this kind of change of mind just because Clare resembled her brother. Not wanting to become an awakened being herself etc. was a much more in character reason for her to want to give up and let Clare finish her off.

Well these episodes with Rafaela and Ilena were something. Rafaela being a nut and going berserk. Then Ilene showing, still alive somehow.

Saving Clare, teaching her, then giving her her arm. That's some GOOD stuff.

Clare facing the awakened Rafaela was lame though. Rafaela all of a sudden has an epiphany? Meh

That other Claymore showing up to kill Ilene. Interesting. I hope she survived but that seems impossible.

And then ending with those creepy mysterious Yoma looking dudes in black again...

That eye wound of Rafaela's seems familiar, considering Ilena still survives, I guess Rafaela is one of Ilena's comrade that is thought to be killed by Priscilla....

The situation is difficult for Irene but seems like she's betting it all on Claire now giving her her last arm before getting attacked... and this is the end for Ophelia now, too bad she understood way too late.

Ah, well. If I were a Claymore, things would be different, for sure. :P

Haha, indeed. At first I thought maybe Clare wants to try out how far she can get in that fight. But 1) that's kinda stupid in a serious situation like that and 2) it's rather logical since she acts more like Clare if she doesn't think that far everytim,e in a moment like that (she does it though, once in a while).
I dont understand why more claymores dont just dessert, they are basicly immortal, have huge stamina and doesnt need alot of food, this means they can stay on the move for ages and never get caught. They could just keep running and eventually leave the country or go so far its not worth it to search for them

The Claymores can reattach their arms. Your own arm was turned into red mist? No problem, reattach the arm of the one who taught you an awesome fucking move.

You can't get any more fucking badass than that O_O

That's not what being bipolar is about dude, and Ophelia doesn't match the criteria. Also generally uncool to make jokes about real mental disorders
