If the organization's zombies were still around... they took out Isley after all. Well whatever, I still don't think its Riful.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

It seems to me that in the right panel Chronos is confident that it isn't Riful. But in the left panel he seems to lose that confidence and he is shocked with his discovery. That leads me to believe that Riful is back. Otherwise, why would he look confident that it is not Riful in one panel and then shocked the next? It's not like abyssal ones can get any stronger or any more special than the ones that are already around at this point. And what else would come from her corpse? I think she's back.

I don't think Isley is coming back though. They ate him until there was nothing left.

I think it's Riful but she is injected by that Destroyer's thing.
I hoped that something will happen with Raki and and 2 beings but nothing special.
Next chapter going to be good I am really waiting to see what happened
with Riful and what changed in her.
And something more I really hope that Raki has more power that we didnt see,
I hope he can match the other claymores.

A lot of dialogue in this chapter. It seems like a calm before the storm kind kind of thing. Milia is trying to get a broad alliance going against Priscilla.

I though it was cute how Clare got concerned about Raki talking to the Awakened Ones.

I don't think Raki will become a Claymore like some are predicting, but rather he will maybe combine the full self possession of a human, with the fighting talents of the Claymore. Of course, having briefly had Priscilla's flesh on his body might make him something altogether different (maybe he'll be able to read her youma?).

Something bugs me - in chapter 99 Riful didn't have her left leg (and according to her thoughts from chapter 97 she didn't have enough energy left to do any regeneration), why was she having it now? Even is she somehow regenerated from 1 leg why she prioritized regenerating other leg first? It almost looked like whatever brought her back to life did that only to send her towards Destroyer/Priscilla even if only as a walking piece of flesh.(That or the author just forgot about the missing leg)

EDIT:
Wait... A question:
Can Awakened Beings (including Abyssal Ones) have children? `Cuz that youki that is like Riful but not Riful and that fetus-like thing that came out of what was left of Riful belly... can it be her and Dauph child?

My hypothesis on the Riful's survival
In the chapter 99 and 100, the destroyer sent the awakened beings in the form of javelin. Duff took three awakened beings in the form of javelin and put them in his own body and regenerated it. After he looked for the Riful's left leg and he gathered the left leg with the rest of the Riful's body and Duff put his own flesh and his own blood in the lower Riful's body. And three months and a half later.... Riful is alive.
Duff thought that it didn't work, and went to avenge Riful with the upper body.

One more possiblity which can go either towards resurrection or a child (with a slightly different "father").
The last time we saw Riful alive the thing that entered her body was Priscilla arm... and we already saw how it can give life even to bodies dead for a very long time. Though why Priscilla would intentionally leave a part of herself inside Riful (no matter whether to resurrect her or create a new life inside her) is beyond me.

what? Priscilla gave arm to Riful>? i thought it was to Raki??? am i confused or are u, someone tell me plz for real


also seems like to me that those 2 male warriors were trying to say that the only reason the Claymore group who saved Clare survived was because Raki was there with them? and so that was because Priscilla has some caring for him? and as such if done right Raki can take advantage of that>? a bit sad but hmm what can be done.

tho i always saw the end being Clare and Prisiclla fighting and Raki getting in between and getting hurt badly to make them stop or something like that. but the battle already happened and Raki was no where. and now its gonna be a group fight but lets see how it goes.

The awakened beings can't have children.
I thought Pricillia stole Riful's yoki....
In my opinion, it's more like a resurrection... The corpses can keep their yoki.

No. Priscilla DID gave her arm to Raki and we know about it. I was just speculating that she could have done something similiar to Riful (for reasons known only to her but possibly to create on purpose what Organization created for her later by accident)

Yeah, I think that was what Chronos meant. The only question is - what he thinks Raki can do to Priscilla even assuming that he will go for it? Sure, Priscilla likes him so she will allow him to get close to her and he will be able to attack, but so what? She was trashed around by Isley, awakened Alicia & Beth and upgraded Dauph and the wounds were dissapearing faster than they were inflicted (and she even failed to notice some of them), what can one slightly-stronger-than-average human do to her (maybe aside from hurting her feelings and giving her emotional trauma - something that would NOT make things easier for those around her).

Well, at that point Riful had barely enough yoki left to keep standing (those are her thoughts not my speculation), that certainly isn't something worthy of notice to Priscilla who seems to have infinite reserves of it to begin with.
Back then it looked more like Priscilla was just her usual not-entirely-up-there self and tried to eat Riful guts because she was hungry (and because Riful dared to attack her in Dauph defense) but it was a little strange considering that just before going to Riful she made several attempts to convince Beth to get lost (and killed her only because twins would not stop pestering her) and then she went to Riful and killed her pretty much only because Dauph tried to verbally intimidate her. It was not really out of character for Priscilla to do something like that (she always does what she wants to do at the moment) but it was still a little strange (she just picked on Clare after 7 years of searching, she was clearly in a hurry which she stated to Beth, so why did she lose her time on Riful who clearly was not willing (or even able) to bother her?

I very desagree with you :
When Pricillia met Clare, Helen, and Deneve in the chapter 100, she said that she was hungry, so I don't think she attacked Riful for her pleasure, she did it to steal her energy. And in the chapter 99 she said the Riful's flesh has a bad taste like Cassandra said when she ate Roxanne.

Oh c'mon! There is nothing new here - Priscilla was ALWAYS hungry (even right after eating whole towns) and then she was fasting for the past 7 years because of Raki.
amenboy972 said:

Riful didn't have any energy at that point (she was thinking about it in chapter 97), when Priscilla was talking about being hungry she was referring to her usual Awakened Being "I want guts" hunger and not any energy. Besides she also tried to eat Beth in chapter 97 but gave up on it because she was "Not delicious at all" despite the fact that unlike Riful Beth clearly had tons of yoki left.
amenboy972 said:

Yeah, she tried to eat another Abyssal One and again reached the conclusion that it was not tasty (she should be aware of it beforehand but either she didn't bothered to remember or else she thought that human-looking Riful will taste better than Nightmare Cat Beth).

i think this episode was ok, you can't have non-stop action all the time...at some point there has to be a pause to give place to some explanation and plot furthering via conversation :|
that said, i really disliked how clare behaved in this episode, it put me off big time
in a matter of two panels she went from being a badass warrior to a whiny girlfriend, and totally destroyed her image that had been building from day one years ago...thus taking a sexist approach to what was IMHO a very mature take on female warriors, very very scarce now a days (sexy outfits not withstanding)
i'm both upset and sad now...rant over

PS: i really really hope raki is the first one to get eaten by priscilla, and maybe by doing so clare will once again become a revenge-driven murderous warrior and stop playing sweet-hearts with a humey (diminutive of human? haha )

i am confused on whether my Riful-chan is back or not. Please let it be so. When i first saw those black tentacle things i was jumping from joy but then that other dude said it might not be her.
I hope it really is her with some kind of power upgrade and that she will also somehow fight with our heroes and from now on join the girls in some way.
Unfortunately if i where to speculate, it seems that the creature is some kind of combination of Riful and Dauf. Dauf may have tried something to save her and resolded in a new entity.
So basically something like their child but not really a child by being able to make children in the more usual way. More like a union.


Laughed at Clare going all worrying about her Raki possibly being hurt. She's soo crazy about him.

Riful hadn't enough yoki to regenerate her body, but she could use her hair to stand up after she lost her left leg. So she had still a little yoki.
In the chapter 81 Raki told Renee that Pricillia became a child because she stopped to eat humans.

Exactly, barely enough youki to use those tentacles which were a part of her body (so for her it should be like moving her hand), right after killing her Priscilla took Destroyer on (all those small fries before aren't even worth mentioning) and most likely used up more power than Riful ever had without giving any impression of being exhausted. Also just before going to Riful she was hit by two of those parasites but they were unable to do anything to her because "the difference in strength was too great".

OMG, best update in ages! I totally started squeeling when I saw the tentacles (or as I like to call them: Ribbons) emerging from those legs (which made me go: "wtf, oh man, are we gonna find out next week whats up with dat?"). Hope Riful is still Riful personaltiywise and Chronos' comment was about some new abilities and powers she got.

But chronos said "its not the abyssal of the west, its something else , its similar to the abyssal of the west" so practically its not riful itself but someone maybe got a hold of riful's half body when she got killed by priscilla, and maybe used it on something to get riful's powers..... well that's just my theory ^....,^

but it would be so cool if Isley came back (because i really like his transformation i think its one of the best transformation and he is also stronger than riful and luciela) and give raki some of his superb powers if its possible ^....,^
