She’s alive, former Claymore No2 - Irene.
[Impressions]
Ophelia was one scary bitch in the last episode and she gets worse in this episode. Basically, she is just torturing and playing with Clare like a toy, cutting off her dominant right arm and a left hand. Just as at that critical moment when Ophelia is going to end Clare’s life. Her arrogance was tamed just in time by a mysterious shrouded figure. Ophelia’s attacks were futile and in fact, pathetic against the mysterious warrior. Her attacks were deflected by the warrior and when it was time for the mysterious warrior to counterattack, Ophelia was totally helpless agianst it as the attacks were invisible to her. Flash attacks as it seems, was familar to Clare for she had once seen such an attack by a former Claymore - Irene. Yes, she is alive and she still kick ass as ever despite she lost an arm to Priscilla during her hunt for Teresa. In this episode, I find Irene impressive and she’s cool.
A similiarity between Clare and Irene though, both lost an arm and luckily for Clare, she was able to join back her hand to her arm and Irene has decided to teach Clare her skills, the flash attack. (wow..if u are into chinese martial arts novels..this sounds very familar to u :P ) Back to Ophelia, her pride is hurt …so it was inevitable…she turned into an Awakened One so if Ophelia is scarier in this episode, I wonder how she is like in the next. It would be very exciting in the next episode as Clare faces the Awakened Ophelia. Will the tables be turned and Clare to finish Ophelia or will despair await her ? or maybe…something else ;)

Clare

A rampaging Ophelia

It was futile..

Helpless?

Mysterious and powerful..

Ophelia Owned. Not a single chance against Irene

She’s alive and she rocks…

I bet she’s good in the kitchen

Yea. Screw you back.

Flash sword!

Next battle will be good, luckily I read the manga. But when I was reading it I was really unsure who would win untill the very end, since Clare does get stronger but Ophelia has also awakened. But either way its going to be good, i can tell you that. =D

Actually I found the next battle to be nowhere as intense or exciting as this one. Especially after Ophelia suffers a major brain fart at the end of it.

Irene will give her right arm to Clare
